Clothesline Project aims
to fight domestic violence
ASTORIA — The students
of the Women and Social
Action class at Clatsop
Community College invite
all community members
to participate in the annual
Clothesline Project, an event
that raises awareness of
domestic abuse.
Women and men of our
North Coast community
can participate by paint-
ing a t-shirt with art that
expresses their views about
domestic violence. Shirt
painting will take place 6 to
8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 14,
in the Art Building on the
Lexington campus (1651
Lexington Ave.). Shirts,
paint and paintbrushes will
be provided.
We encourage all ages
and levels of artistic ability
to participate.
The shirts will be dis-
played in Towler Hall on
campus Thursday, Feb. 22,
through Wednesday, March
21.
Started in Cape Cod in
1990 after a woman was
murdered by her male part-
ner in their community, the
Clothesline Project has be-
come a national demonstra-
tion to fight to end domestic
violence. To learn more,

NEHALEM — Registration
is open to join the Lower
Nehalem Community Trust’s
Community Garden at Alder
Creek Farm. All gardening
skill levels are welcome.
Learn about organic
gardening in our coastal
climate and how to be more
self-sustainable in your own
home garden. Grow and
harvest great food, meet
new friends and give back
to the community.
Each week you will fill
your basket with organ-
ically grown foods for
your family. In addition,
we collectively donate to
the North County Food
Bank and the Senior Meals
Program.
Garden Startup Day is
set for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 24, at Alder
Creek Farm (35955 Under-
hill Lane) in Nehalem.
Our garden members
commit to three hours of
volunteer work per week,
pay a nominal fee and learn
techniques for growing
fruit and vegetables in the
maritime climate. We gar-
den together 9 a.m. to noon
Tuesday mornings. Addi-
tionally, we have set aside

month for special events
and make-up days.
We grow both a tradi-
tional row garden as well
as a permaculture garden
that demonstrates how
flowers and vegetables can
be integrated into a home
landscape for an ornamen-
tal and edible approach to
gardening. We hope that
gardeners can bend, stretch
and occasionally lift up to
25 pounds, but we have a
few jobs that don’t require
as much physical exertion.
We welcome new mem-
bers, so go online and sign
up today!
