During yesterday’s First Friday Art Walk, she officially donated a piece of her work to the Olympic College Haselwood Library with a ceremony at her gallery in downtown Bremerton.

The African Safari must be empty because all the animals have migrated to Kingston.
Their new homing ground: brand-new business TJ’s Hotrods — so new, the official opening day is this Friday.
It’s a peculiar situation, classic rides and life-size yard art, but it’s already garnered a lot of attention.

It started out as a typical February day at the gym for Temecula, Calif. chiropractor Jared Hjemstand, D.C. and his 15-year-old son Josh – that is until 49-year-old Garth Goodall collapsed in front of them while working out.
So what did Dr. Hjemstand do? What any like-minded chiropractor would. He directed his son to call 911 then rolled up his sleeves and utilized a new “Hands-Only” technique, he had just read about in a medical journal, and saved Mr. Goodall’s life.
