Con- tractors’ trucks and dump bins park outside; a collection of free stuff perpetually lines the sidewalk; and the front door, often ajar, emanates noises of the construction within. Inside the building, contractors are slowly turning the building into the new headquarters of The Harbor, the region’s preeminent resource for survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault. “We de¿ nitely want to have it open by October,” said Cooper Boggs, a maintenance man with The Harbor and Caruana Inc. The remodel kicked off a year ago, with volunteers demolishing the inside. The Harbor hired Quacken- bush Builders Inc., as general con- tractor to help organize and speed along the build-out. Owner Chris Quackenbush said the utilities should be ¿ nished within a few weeks, be- fore his employees and subcontrac- tors start insulating and drywalling. Julie 6oderberg, executive di- rector of The Harbor, estimated the remodel of the Van Dusen Building at $400,000. A house The Harbor sold got the remodel started, she said, and The Harbor has received about $50,000 worth of volunteer labor and in-kind donations for the project. 6he added the budgets for the build-out and The Harbor’s ser- vices are being kept separate. OLYMPIA, Wash. — A group of commercial gillnet ¿ shermen ¿ led a petition June 30, seeking judicial re- view of a new salmon management policy on Willapa Bay. The Willapa Bay Gillnetters As- sociation , represented by attorneys Ryen Godwin and Gregory Jaco- by of Tacoma-based McGavick Graves, argues the Washington De- partment of Fish and Wildlife acted outside of statuary authority when it placed restrictions on fishing times, place, manner and fishing method in the policy instead of in a rule. The attorneys also claim the de- partment acted in an “arbitrary and capricious” way when it used specif- ic models to analyze and justify how much harvest of salmon the new pol- icy would allow as well as determine the current economic impacts of both commercial and sport ¿ shermen in Willapa Bay. 6aving Maxville cabin Clatsop students help with preservation JOSHUA BESSEX — The Daily Astorian Cooper Boggs holds up an original light fixture from the Van Dusen B uilding. Boggs said they plan on using some of the older elements of the building in the new space. “I am con¿ dent about getting grants for this,” 6oderberg said about paying for the remodel. “I think it’s a good cause, and it’s an opportunity to have the beginnings of a centralized justice center for individuals who ex- perience interpersonal violence.” Deja Vu The ¿ rst priority for The Harbor is opening the Deja Vu, one of the main sources of revenue for the agency. 6oderberg said. The current Deja Vu is segment- ed into several rooms, whereas the Van Dusen space is one sweeping storefront, with alcoves for the art gallery and of¿ ces and a private meeting area on a mezzanine above.

JOHN EO Media Group Courtesy of Animal Planet LONG BEACH, Wash. — Local game wardens will be meting out more “Rugged Justice.” Monday, Deputy Chief Mike Cenci said the Washington De- partment of Fish and Wildlife has signed on for a second, 10-episode season of the Animal Planet reality show about WDFW enforcement officers.

If you don’t know the exact road to turn off , you’ll drive right by . It is unmarked. Maxville was once a company town for the Bowman-Hicks Lum- ber Co. , back in the days of two- man “misery whip” saws, “donkeys” (steam yarders) and railroad logging — and segregation. Maxville was established in the early 1920s and once boasted in the neighborhood of 400 residents. As be¿ tting a 6outhern lumber com- pany, and to a large extent, Oregon citizenry social mores, the town was segregated down to the homes, schools and baseball teams. Today’s remaining building, the only log cabin the town had, served as the main of¿ ces of Bow- man-Hicks until a lack of logs, changing harvesting practices, and the Great Depression hit.
