Former Daily World city editor Bill Lindstrom will talk, give a PowerPoint display, sell and sign his book John Tornow: Villain or Victim? Q and A time also.
Bring your own snacks to the library for a family-friendly movie.
Veteran newsman Bill Lindstrom has pursued the truth about John Tornow for almost 3 decades. Among the several outcomes of his work is a new book, “John Tornow: Villain or Victim?” Lindstrom will present a slide show and discuss the book, the research and the Tornow legend at two Timberland libraries in February:
This meticulously researched history reads like a blend of mystery and tragedy as it reinterprets the life of an enigmatic man accused of heinous crimes. Lindstrom poured over century-old court documents, transcriptions, contemporary news articles and interviews to produce an authoritative and compassionate account. He brings the Tornow family’s life and times alive, describing the daily routines and personal sorrows that led up to multiple murders, a 19-month manhunt and an enduring Northwest legend.
Books will be available for sale and signing at this event. All programs at Timberland libraries are free and open to the public.
For information, contact the individual library or visit www.TRL.org.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) approved the upcoming dig, which runs Feb. 15–22, after marine toxin tests showed the clams are safe to eat.
Dan Ayres, WDFW coastal shellfish manager, said the best digging typically occurs one to two hours before low tide. No digging is allowed at any beach before noon.
“We’re expecting a good turnout this upcoming Presidents’ Day weekend,” Ayres said. “Tides will be early enough the first few days that diggers can enjoy some daylight on the beach.”
Under state law, diggers are required to keep the first 15 clams they dig. Each digger’s clams must be kept in a separate container.
