Court/-s>, r)l c < Bill and Helen Aker celebrate 70 years together Bill and Helen Aker of Triton Head, Lilliwaup will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary on June 14. Bill and Helen (Kryger) met in Kent, Wash. They were Meridian High School sweethearts who mar- ried in 1941. They bought a summer home on Triton Head in Lilliwaup on Hood Canal in 1961 and moved there permanently when Bill retired from Boeing in 1975. They have been active members of their local community ever since, serving at Brinnon Commu- nity Church and as commissioners of the Water and the fire districts. Their life has continually been full of gracious hospitality to all, sharing great cooking at their table, their time, talents, tools and love of fish- ing, crabbing, shrimping - when they weren't travel- ing the world or going to garage sales. They have three children: John (Sharon) Aker of Port Orchard, Jim (Derry) Aker of Lake Sammamish and Judy (Jack) Bevilacqua of Gresham, Ore. Their 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren affectionately call them "Nana and Papa." There will be a reception at Brinnon Community Church following the 11 a.m. service on June 12 host- ed by their family. All are invited. A larger family party will take place during the an- nual Aker family reunion: "Christmas in July," the weekend of July 30, where the whole family will gath- er to celebrate a beloved couple and a joyous marriage milestone.

Allstate Property and Casualty Insurance Company, Northbrook, IL. © 2010 = Allstate Insurance Company Page B-8 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Thursday, June 2, 2011 John Ison completed Agriculture and Forestry Leadership program John Ison lives in Allyn and works for Green Dia- mond Resource Company as a Legging Manager. He has recently completed the 18-month Agriculture and Forestry Leadership Devel- opment Program. As one of the members of Class 32 of the Leadership Program, John attended 14 seminars comprising 59 days of inten- sive training for service to the natural resource industries and rural communities of the state of Washington. Insti- tutions of higher education jointly sponsor the seminars and agriculture and forestry related businesses. Participants study local, state, national and interna- tional public affairs issues and how they interrelate, learn how to analyze issues in a decision-making process, improve personal skills in working with people and in communications, and study issues influencing Washing- tons natural resource indus- tries and rural communities. The Washington Agricul- ture and Forestry Education Foundation has been devel- oping leaders for healthy farms, forests and communi- ties and is as important now as it was when the Leader- ship Program was started in 1978. The program has grad- uated more than 900 partici- pants. More than 700 donors representing individuals and businesses in the natu- ral resource industries fund the Agriculture and Forestry Education Foundation. John Ison New state permits to help control invasive aquatic species In an effort to nip problems with in- vasive species early before they grow out of control, the Washington Department of Ecology has finalized a new Aquatic Invasive Species Management General Permit. The permit is the regulatory tool that directs how chemicals or other control products may be used to manage inva- sive aquatic animals and invasive ma- rine algae in state waters. The permit does not cover invasive aquatic weeds, which are covered by oth- er permits. Washington water quality statutes and regulations don't allow the discharge of pollutants, such as chemiJals, into waters without a permit obtained from Ecology. Once non-native species become es- tablished in a new environment where there are few natural enemies, pests, or disease to keep them in check, they may spread rapidly and cause biological and + economic harm. Invasive species include aquatic plants and animals that hitchhike on ships and boats, insects that arrive on imported fruit and nursery plants, or offspring of pets that escape or are released by their owners. Invading species constantly ex- pand their presence into Washington. While many introduced species never become a problem, others are able to out- compete and overwhelm local species, disrupting entire ecosystems. Invasive species can threaten econom- ic vitality of farms, orchards, fisheries and oyster-growing industries. The spe- cies can also degrade water quality in lakes and further imperil threatened and endangered species such as salmon.
