LETTER:Book of Will

I and a guest went to see “The Book of Will” at the Olympic Theater Arts.

Popular poplar trees on Port of Port Townsend property along the south side of Sims Way in Port Townsend are adorned with Italian names as a result of the Adopt-a-Poplar program instituted by the Gateway Poplar Alliance’s efforts to save them from being cut down. For a donation, a person can choose which poplar to adopt and which Italian name, $50 for a female name and $100 for a male name to be displayed. (Steve Mullensky/For Peninsula Daily News)

In this photo provided by the state Department of Natural Resources, a crane and boats are anchored next to a collapsed “net pen” used by Cooke Aquaculture Pacific to farm Atlantic Salmon near Cypress Island on Aug. 28, 2017, after a failure of the nets allowed tens of thousands of the nonnative fish to escape. A state jury on Wednesday awarded the Lummi Indian tribe $595,000 over the collapse of the net pen where Atlantic salmon were being raised, an event that elicited fears of damage to wild salmon runs and prompted the Legislature to ban the farming of the nonnative fish.
