Page 12 The INDEPENDENT, March 3, 2011 Small Woodlands Tree Sale on March 12 The Washington County Small Woodlands Association has scheduled its tenth annual Native Plant and Tree Sale for Saturday, March 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The location will be Bales Thriftway Store at 17675 SW Farmington Rd., Aloha. The sale is in response to the community’s overwhelming demand for native plants. Be- sides their beauty, native plants require less water and fertilizer, and attract wildlife. They are a perfect fit for those interested in both cost saving and “green” landscaping. All plants are certified, quali- ty nursery stock. With almost 2,000 plants, this may be the largest one-day sale of its kind in Oregon. Many species are becoming rare in our Oregon forests and non-existent in de- veloped areas. This year’s sale offers twenty-five new varieties. If you need large quantities of any plant (20 or more) use the contact information below. Master Woodland Man- agers, “Naturescaping” experts and Master Gardeners will be available to answer questions about selection, suitability, planting and care. All profits from the sale fund scholarships and community education.

WCSO asks for help on cold case The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help with a cold case in Banks. On December 4, 1974, Charles Darrow Lloyd, then age 67, disappeared after last being seen leaving Banks Bil- liards with Robert Zema, who was age 24 at the time. Mr. Lloyd was a quiet person who kept to himself, was unmarried and lived alone in a small apartment in Banks. Police found a lot of blood, indicating a violent struggle, in his apartment, but his body has never been recovered. The right tip, coupled with today’s DNA technology could link this case to a suspect. Have you heard a local leg- end about where Mr. Lloyd’s body is buried? Do you know anyone who might be a blood relative of Mr. Lloyd? Anyone with information is asked to call 503-846-2500, or send tips to sheriff.webmas ter@co.washington.or.us.
