Vancouver N ational Historic
R e serv e T ru st is re m in d in g
people that the 4th o f July fire­
works event at Fort Vancouver

M any factors led to the deci­

dollars. T hat expense could not
be sustained.
Beginning next year, the Trust
is planning an all new “Indepen­
dence Day at Fort Vancouver”
event which will feature more his­
torical connections and m ore
family-friendly activities. A fire­
works show from the grounds of
the Reserve will be a part o f the
new event.
Although the firew orks show
and all-day 4th o f July celebra­
tion is cancelled this year, Fort
Vancouver, the V isitor Center
and the Fort V ancouver Book­
store will be open on July 4 from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors are en ­
couraged to tour the fort and to
bring a picnic lunch. No per­
sonal firew orks, barbeques, al­
cohol or pets will be allowed on

Craigslist Drops ‘Erotic Services’
(A P) - The online classified
ads site Craigslist will drop its
"erotic services" category that
critics called a front for prosti­
tution, replacing it with an adult
category to be m onitored inter­
nally, g o v ern m e n t en fo rce rs
from three states said.
Pressure to rem ove the cat­
I
egory increased this spring af­
ter a Boston m edical student
was charged with killing a m as­
seuse w ho authorities say he
met through Craigslist.
T w o m o n th s a g o , C o o k
County Sheriff Tom Dart filed a
lawsuit alleging that Craigslist
allowed the solicitation of pros-
titu tio n and h ad c re a te d the
"largest source o f prostitution in
America."
