Allyn Days set for July 21 on the waterfront The 25th Annual Allyn Days Festival and Salmon Bake is set to run Satur- day, July 21, at the Allyn Waterfront Park and Gazebo. Starting at noon, vol- unteers from the Allyn Community As- sociation will begin serving over 1,000 mouth-watering salmon dinners to their friends, families, neighbors and visitors. The delicious dinner will cost $14. Booths filled with information or items for purchase will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and several bands are slated to perform throughout the day. There will also be various demonstra- tions from local groups and organiza- tions and a 21-and-over beer and wine garden will also be up and running again this year. /i WDFW I'0000minds fishermen not to ke wild chinooks (Continued from page 3.) * Use a dehooker to remove the hook. • Cut the leader if the fish has swallowed the hook. • Avoid touching or handling the fish, especially around the eyes and gills. • Support the entire length of the fish if it must be lifted out of the water. • Do not lift the fish by the tail or jaw. • Gently place the fish back in the water.

State officials urging caution with fireworks With all of the fireworks activ- ity of late, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is reminding the public to be careful while recreating in and near forests. So far this year, there have already been more than 184 wildfires across the state. "Given that 85 percent of wild- fires on DNR-protected lands are started by people, we urge every- one to exercise caution with any fire-related activities," said Com- missioner of Public Lands Doug Sutherland. "We want people to enjoy their holidays, but please be safe." Three more blood drives are slated The Puget Sound Blood Center has several remaining visits to the Belfair area over the next couple Not only are grass and forest- lands extremely vulnerable to fire, but homeowners living in close proximity to forested areas also are at risk. DNR reminds the public to be extra careful with fireworks and to make sure campfires are attend- ed at all times and completely out befbre leaving the area. They also need to make sure recreational ve- hicles have an operating spark ar- restor and that smoking materials are properly extinguished. EVERY YEAR around the Fourth of July, DNR receives an average of" 90 calls reporting new fires - many of them caused by fireworks. The use of fireworks on forestland or state-protected land is illegal. DNR also encourages recre- ational visitors to follow these rules: • When building a campfire, keep it less than four feet in di- ameter with at least a 10-foot clearance. Never leave a fire unat- tended. Keep water and a shovel handy, and use both to put the fire • Be sure to have operating spark arrestors on all motorized equipment (motorcycles, ATVs, chainsaws, brush cutters, etc.). If the vehicle's muffler and emis- • sion system is faulty, fix it before entering wooded areas. Catalytic converters operate at about 1,800 degrees and can quickly leave a trail of sparks - and fires. • Extinguish smoking materi- als with water or dirt. DNR is responsible for pre- venting and fighting wildfires on 1.2.7 million acres of private and state-owned forestland. DNR is the state's largest on-call fire department, with hundreds of people trained and available to be dispatched to fires as needed. During fire season, this includes several hundred DNR employees who have other permanent jobs with the agency, about 350 sea- sonal workers and about 500 De- partment of Corrections inmates who participate in the Washing- ton Work Camps Program.
