The summer reading program “Catch the
W ave-Read!” continues through August 4th.
Magician Bob Eaton will entertain at noon on
Thursday, July 14. Other programs include the
Oregon Fantasy Theatre on July 21, perform
ing The Fish That Swallowed the Sun, story
teller Nina Lemkuhl on July 28 relating Stories
by the Sea and, on August 4, Cheshire Fox
productions will present a puppet show enti
tled The City Mouse and the Country Mouse.
Completed reading records may be turned in
beginning July 15; those received by July 28
will be given a book award at the August 4
program. Reading records will, however, still
be accepted through August and books will be
aw arded for com pleted goals. All the pro
grams are at noon; they are free and open to
all ages.
Have you heard ECHO yet? This new auto
mated phone system will save the 11 libraries
in the Washington County Cooperative Library
Services system an estimated $40,000.00 per
year in printing and mailing expenses. ECHO
stands for Electronic Calling for Holds and
Overdues. It uses a pre-recorded voice mes
sage to inform patrons by phone when re
served books are available and when books
are overdue. The equipment for this new sys
tem cost $14,000; the cost is approximately
$60,000 per year to print and mail notices.
ECHO will call on the first day that reserved
materials are available and tell the patron at
which library they are being held. ECHO will
remind patrons of overdue books on the fifth
Page 3
day after they are due. Neither message will
reveal titles to respect the confidentiality of the
patron. ECHO can recognize answering ma
chines and can leave messages. No calls will
be made on Sundays, most holidays, before 9
a.m. or after 9 p.m. If ECHO cannot reach a
patron, then a printed notice will be sent.
Banks Library is looking for an artistic vol
unteer who would make lettered signs and
displays. A few hours a month is all that would
be needed. If you are interested, please caU
Denise at 324-1382.
Also on the volunteer front, Friends of the
Library are in need of more people to help
staff the Saturday Recycling at the SWATCO
service yard on the second Saturday of each
month. During the summer, with so many on
vacation it is hard to find enough help. Hours
are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Even one hour a
month would make a big difference. This is a
great way to meet your neighbors, help the
community and feel good about keeping the
Earth healthy, too. Please call Donna McCall
at 324-3404 for more information.
Finally, volunteers are still needed to help
complete the “Shady Evergreen” quilt. Quilting
bees are be in g held in Banks, and the
“Friends” will have a booth at the Washington
County Fair for the final stitches. If interested,
call Jami Masson at 681-9453 or Donna Mc
Call at 324-3404.
Lfcrary Hours: Wed. and Sat., 10 a.m.-4
p.m,, Thurs. 1-7 p.m., Fri., 1-5 p.m.

From Page 2
by his garage and eating caneberries that he raised, but he
probably didn’t mind. I asked dad recently how he and Ray had
become hunting partners, since Ray is somewhat older. Dad
said it wasn’t so much a matter of how, since Ray was a neigh
bor and fellow logger, but why. You see, he explained, “Ray is
the perfect hunting partner; he never complains, always carrys
his end and, besides, his wife, Fern, makes the best apple pies
and always sent one along on hunting trips.
Ray and I have not hunted together for many years now, due
to work, hunting restrictions and his health. But I will always
remember this gentle-mannered mountain man who could pack
half a buck out of the deepest canyon, even in his late sixties.
The next time I hunt the Pinnacles, Tin Can Ridge or Sitting
Rock, I am sure I will see Ray’s red felt crusher peering over the
rimrock, looking down at me.
