______________ The INDEPENDENT, January 16, 2002 Crafts project set for Valentine’s Day totters, continued From page 3 derous people in our midst. Being the redneck that I am, my first thought of how to deal with these people is to bring back an old tradition that would have coincided in the days of the KKK - tar and feathers! But, being the civil person I am, I will have to deal with this matter in a legal way. So, be warned. When I find out who you are, and I will, you will get a piece of my mind. I would ask all Ver- nonians to do the same, for these people have gone out of their way to attack the very soul L Page 5 of our community without just cause. I guess, now, the headline in the Daily Astorian is correct, because I am upset, not that a piece of history was listed in a kiosk, but because of the attack on my community and on good, upstanding citizens who work hard to make Vernonia a better place to live. Of course we will never see our attackers raise a single finger for the community good. It just isn’t in them! Proud to be a Vernonian. Dale E. Webb Vernonia “Heart Pockets” a special project to honor Valentine’s Day will be presented by the Vernonia Society of Arts and Crafts. Beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 6, in the meeting room of the Ver nonia Public Library, Kellie Mur ray will introduce participants to this delightful project and guide through the creative fun.

Each Wednesday in 2002, except those set aside for spe cial programs, the Society ex pects to hold a work afternoon at the Library. Members will bring art or craft projects to be worked on throughout the after noon. Everyone is invited to join and/or join in. The Society tries to have many different materials and projects for all to experience. Am ong the types of work presently in progress are rug hooking; pastels, both chalk and oil; painting with water col ors; and counted cross stitch. The Society is looking for additional projects with leaders for presentation as special pro grams.
