G ATHERINGS B6 Hood River News, Wednesday, May 20, 2014 www.hoodrivernews.com H ELPING H ANDS Helping Hands Against Violence hosted about 75 people May 14 for its annual community appre- ciation event at Springhouse Winery. Five local groups or businesses received special recognition for their donations and efforts to support the women’s shelter and its outreach programs for women in crisis. At right, Helping Hands board present Deanna Simonds tells the audience about the work of Gary Hebener and Mosier Grange, who renovated rooms inside the shelter. Award winners, from left, are Mosier Grange’s Carol Root Seeber, Gary Hebener, Sherrill Heben- er, and Grangemaster Lois Root; Trina Rietsma, Springhouse general manager; Cathy Butterfield, Hood River Hotel general manager; Erin Trenholm of Providence Hood River Memorial; and Kirby Neumann-Rea of Hood River News.

Parent and student volunteers did plantings, spruced up the playground and entry area, and other tasks. C OFFEE C LATTER Curtis Homes, with its panoramic view from the top of Button Bridge, hosted Friday’s Coffee Clatter, a monthly Chamber of Commerce event. About 40 people squeezed into the airy, yet cozy, office, for introductions and round-robin announcements. The star of the show was Cameron and Emily Curtis’ daughter, Lucy, 6 months, held by Julie Johnston of Curtis Homes. © 2015 by Vicki Whiting, Editor Jeff Schinkel, Graphics Vol. 31, No. 24 Small legs to hold body at shell opening. This growing hermit crab is feeling cramped. He has outgrown his borrowed shell home and is looking for a new home. When he finds an empty shell, he uses his claws to check out the size. If the size is right, he cleans the shell carefully and quickly pulls his abdomen out of the old shell and sticks it into the new one! Standards Link: Life Science: Students know animals inhabit different kinds of environments. Which shell will the hermit crab pick? He’ll pick the one with numbers that add up to an even number. Draw a line from each body part to its description. Abdomen Antennae, used to feel, smell and taste things. Walking legs, two on each side. Standards Link: Life Science: Animals have structures that serve different functions in growth, survival and reproduction. Find the Hermit Crab Twins! 11 + 6 + 2 9+5+3 3+9+5 6+4+2 The word hermit describes someone who lives alone. Yet, hermit crabs live and travel in colonies of a few dozen to more than 100! Both as a larva and an adult, a hermit crab grows by molting. A hermit crab has a hard outer covering called an exoskeleton. This hard covering doesn’t grow like human skin. Instead, it must be shed when a new, larger exoskeleton is ready. The new exoskeleton is soft at first, and the hermit crab must stay in its shell until it hardens. Which picture goes with each sentence telling about how a hermit crab grows? 1. Mother hermit crab carries eggs inside shell. 2. Mother hermit crab releases eggs that are ready to hatch into the ocean.

The hermit crab larva has large bulging eyes and a long shrimp-like body. 4. After its third molt, the hermit crab looks more like an adult hermit crab and will move closer to the shore and find a shell home. Replace the words missing from this paragraph.

True crabs have a short abdomen that is folded up under the large shell on its back. A hermit crab has a long abdomen that sticks out at the rear end of its body. Because its abdomen does not have a hard covering, it must borrow a shell to protect this part of its body. The abdomen’s curled shape fits inside the spiral of a shell. ome hermit crabs carry sea anemones on their shells. The sea anemone’s __________ tentacles keep ________ away. In return, the anemone, an animal without ________, gets carried to new ________ supplies. Sometimes the anemone gets to ____ the hermit crab’s _______________! Standards Link: Life Science: Students know sequential stages of life cycles are different for different animals If a predator tries to grab a hermit crab, the crab must pull into its shell quickly. If a predator manages to catch a claw, the crab can break it off, leaving the predator holding the claw and nothing else. The hermit crab will grow a new claw to replace the missing one!

Tide Pool Cycles Creatures in tide pools need water to survive. When the sun evaporates tide-pool water or a tide is lower than normal, the animals must take action to save themselves. To kep from drying out, sea anemones pull in there tentacles and turn into soft blobs. Sea cucombers sometimes curl into bawlls or cover itself with mud. Clams and barnacles snap their shells tightly closed, traping water inside that keeps them wett. When the water level in in a tide pool drops, some seaweeds make a slimy mucus that coats their fronds.
