The tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain have set a visit for Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes July 9-27, which will include public tours and public sailings. During their Anacortes stay, the ships will make a five-day trip to the San Juan Islands for the Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain’s annual Expedition Voyages Family & Youth Camp.
Battle Sails are the most popular sailing activity on Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain. The three-hour excursion is a re-creation of a typical 18th century naval skirmish with real cannon and real gunpowder, but no cannon balls.

The Olympic National Forest is hosting open houses asking the public to share the areas and roads they use on the Forest. This information will help the Forest identify a financially sustainable road system that meets diverse access needs, minimizes environmental harm, and is safe and dependable because it is scaled to available resources.
“Your participation will help us understand your access needs,” said Forest Supervisor Reta Laford. “It would be particularly helpful to know what areas you use on the Forest and what roads you use to get there.”
The open houses will be held around the Olympic Peninsula during the summer of 2014.
In addition to attending open houses, the public may provide comments using the web-based map or on-line questionnaire on the Forest website here. Questionnaires are also available at any Olympic National Forest office. Comments will be taken until August 31, 2014.

United Way is Kicking Off it’s 2014-2015 Campaign with a fun event.
Super Heroes for the Community. The event is free and open to the public.
The South Beach Arts Association is proud to offer a photography workshop with the amazing nature photographer Marlin Greene.
The workshop is a combination of field trips for capturing images and class work with Photoshop for enhancing them. We will spend one full day looking for magical images in the field and then another full day exploring how to enhance them. This workshop is designed for serious beginners and intermediate “camera users” with a burning passion to make better photographs.
Day one starts with a discussion on the basics of digital cameras to help make informed decisions about what camera best matches your photography goals. Following the discussion will be a field trip in which we will visit several local areas for inspiration.
We look for situations that make your eyes light up and your shutter finger get excited. Then we go over the technical considerations that will enable you to
capture what you are seeing and feeling: light, composition, camera settings. Is the subject clear and distinct? Are you in the right position?
The goal is to help you see the magical wonder of the natural world and then coax you to get the best possible image within the constraints of the camera and the
conditions. Every image is a compromise. We will discuss how the trade-offs play in the creative process.
Day two will include a Photoshop session and begin with the basic tools at our disposal. We will look at how every digital image is an electronic representation built from numbers in a database. We will see how the software designers have created useful gadgets that we use to manipulate these numbers and change colors, adjust light, alter composition and more.
The following are topics that will be discussed during the workshop:
- RAW versus JPG – what format to shoot
- Resolution sizing and saving images for print and Internet
- Correcting bad exposure
- Enhancing shadows and light areas
- Correcting color
- Removing and retouching parts of the image
- Understanding layers
- Sharpening
- Redefining the composition
