Staff and volunteers with The Nature Conservancy and the North Coast Land Conservancy use canoes to work in a
wetland area.
Plants: Purple loosestrife can produce
upwards of 1 million to 2 million seeds

available to wildlife. Its roots
trap sediment, drastically
changing the elevation of a site
over time.
“When that happens, you
can see changes in the plant
community from plants that
really depend on the lower
elevation and more frequent
inundation with the tide com-
ing in to plants that can occupy
drier elevations,” Hutmacher
said. “That can have cascad-
ing effects in the food chain.”
For a plant rooted in
place, purple loosestrife can
be incredibly mobile. This
mobility is the primary chal-
lenge in trying to control the
spread. Each plant can pro-
duce upwards of 1 million
to 2 million seeds the size of
black pepper flakes. Water and
animals carry the tiny seeds
throughout an area.
The properties The Nature
Conservancy and the North
Coast Land Conservancy own
are impacted by upstream
sources of purple loosestrife.
The Columbia River is a mas-
sive system and the properties
the groups worked on over the
weekend are small.
“We’re doing what we
can,” Hutmacher said.
But, she added, “it’s nice
to do what we can even in
these small areas to provide
patches of high quality habi-
tat for migrating salmon, for
birds.”
The Fesslers sold the
property to Marlin Larsen,
who died earlier this year.
The property passed into a
family trust, and the Fesslers
are waiting to see whether
Heaven Sent Boarding
House continues long-term.
The liquidation sale at
Penny Wise lasts until Sept.
15. Clothing is free, and
other items have been heav-
ily marked down. The store
is also looking for volunteers
to help move items.
The imminent closure of
Penny Wise follows simi-
lar announcements by local
thrift stores supporting non-
profit groups. Impact Thrift
Store, opened to support
Clatsop Animal Assistance,
North Coast Food Web and
veterinary bills, recently
closed along Marine Drive.
The Harbor, a regional advo-
cacy group for victims of
sexual and domestic assault,
recently announced the clo-
sure next month of its fund-
raising thrift store, Deja Vu,
citing the financial losses.
The profits from Penny
Wise barely covered the alli-
ance’s informational mate-
rials, Peter Fessler said. The
couple also invested the prof-
its in furnishing the boarding
house. But aside from sup-
porting the alliance, the store
had also become an informal
support center for those liv-
ing with depression and bipo-
lar disorder. The Fesslers are
hoping to find another facili-
tator to keep the group going
and seek grant funding.
“It’s to help people living
with bipolar or depression,
to help them cope, (to) learn
to live with it,” Peter Fessler
said.
The Daily Astorian
Peter and Patricia Fessler are closing the Penny Wise Thrift
Store in Warrenton after nearly a decade in operation.
Girls Build: ‘It’s important for girls to learn this stuff’
Continued from Page 1A
Hughes said 8 to 14 years
old is old enough for girls
to work safely, but young
enough to influence them to
enter the trades in high school.
She remembers teaching in a
high school construction pro-
gram where there was only one
female in several classes.
“I taught construction for
two years at a high school —
juniors and seniors — and the
kids who didn’t walk in the
door with it at least as an idea
didn’t go into (trades), no mat-
ter how excited they were,”
Hughes said. “And what I also
saw was the people who walked
in the door, of the girls I had,
most had never touched a tool
before.”
Many of the girls at the local
camp said they had helped out
on minor construction projects
and learned to use basic tools.
But the imbalance in the trades
was not lost on them.
“It’s important for girls to
learn this stuff,” said 11-year-
old Reese Long. “Boys are
always doing this.”
Olivia Merila, 10, said she
primarily wanted to take the
camp to build cool stuff. But
she also understands the need to
equalize the gender makeup in
the trades.
By the end of the camp on
Friday, girls had finished planter
boxes, stools and sheet metal
lamps to take home as mem-
ories. The crown jewel was a
green-and-white playhouse that
will be donated to a local Head
Start preschool program.
“They did the framing, sheet-
ing; they painted everything,”
said Stevia Eldritch, who works
for a general contractor in Ash-
land and helped teach work-
shops. “We started with a pile
of building materials.”
