Cruise Ship
Day – and as if ‘on demand’ the skies cleared and a sunny day broke out |
|
Downtown
bustling as cruise ship unloads tourists |
|
|
Sunshine
broke out |
|
|
|
|
High
Pressure |
|
The
high west of Washington state strengthened just enough to guide the rainy
system north of us and then after cruise ship left the clouds came back
Friday |

Carving of large Eagle prompts an interesting conversation A
fellow who was also a professional carver from Kincolith was critical of the
production – he could see it was done with power tools etc – while he would
make his own tools etc – I think he has a large eagle at home he gave his
wife – but he thought she would not want pictures taken of it etc |

Harvey’s
family history etc depicted on this Dempsey Bob remake of an earlier pole
from Nass area |
|
At bottom is an
eagle – then the 3 brothers (Harvey named them off ---one being his father-- but
I might have mixed them up so will follow up later) --- there are 6 slaves
(who may have been ‘sacrificed’ at original story’s pole raising) and on top
are 2(?) eagles (again differing from original) – more later |

College
Library |
|
Open
in summer – but vandalism causes ‘check-in’ |
|
|
Because
doors to south block allow one to roam throughout building has required that
now check in at the main desk in the North block – take the over-head passage
to the library etc ---- See notices on South Door for hours after August 30th
etc |

The demise
of PRDN |
|
While
the free delivery to everyone in Rupert was a questionable business strategy
– it does leave the local advertisers looking for alternatives --- here this
week-ends flyer is put in windows of local store |
|
|
Found Art |
|
This
is the back of a now closed hardware store --- how much ‘revitalization’ $$ would
it take to fix it up? That the store is not open should make a difference but
looks like all the details to who qualifies for tax break and what they have
to do remains an Unknown – presumably totally left to staff to decide --- a
formula for abuse – unaccountability etc |
