The off-white, nondescript Van
Dusen Building remains somewhat
of a mystery to passers-by. 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.

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.

MAXVILLE — High up in the
mountains north of Wallowa, 14
miles up the Promise cutoff road,
is the last remaining building of the
once-thriving logging town of Max-
ville. 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.
