Four Evergreen students open bookstore
in the back o/Olympia World News
bjLl5liilB HOgen
So me people's dreams take years and years
of ha rd work, conce nt rat io n, d edication ,
counrless st ressfi.d siruations, and nervous
breakdowns 10 be fu lfi lled. while others see m
to happen as a matter of fate or desti ny. Here
is such a story.
Just over a year ago, Sky Cosby, Dave
Acc urso, Ash ley Sheve , and TJ. Merri ll
conceived o fa wild idea 10 share a co mmun ity
bookslOre. Inside the vision of these young
beautiful visio nar ies' heads was im ag ined a
small bus iness working with the communi ry
and being a good resource for knowledge
and fun, as well as a meeting/g atherin g
p lace for anyone and eve ryo ne, es pecia lly
enviro nmem-bascd act ivist gro ups, altho ugh
there arc no limitations. Sky pictured poetry
read ings, book sign ings, bookmaking and
paper works hop s, and a sta ge for pub lic
performances of loca l or foreign artists.
The idea went quiclJ y fro m the back
b urner into a s teaming ca uld ro n of creation
when Th e Greenery ( loca ted off Kaiser
Road, near Evergreen) became open for rent.
Sudde nly go in g into business didn't seem so
silly, and this crew of misfits immediately
jumped.
But tragedy struck when t he lan dl ord
called and told rh em rheir credir hi story
wasn't good at all, and accord ing to Sky, this
was in fac t true. "\X'e paid o llr phone bills,
rhat's abo ut our on lv cred ir history. So we
were kind of broken' hearted and d~wn and
I di~n 't think about it for a co uplc weeks.
Then Dave just st rnll s up and he's like you

happen ed righ t arollnd May Day and these
ambitio us kids jumped in their U-Haul on
May 1 and headed to Walla Walla to pick
up books from Sky's D ad 's bookstore, the
fourth largest in th e state. So not only did
they get the bookstore, but they landed right
smack in the middle of a coflee bar and are

"We never planned o n making any money.
This is a labor of love, opening a bookstore is
co mpletely a labor of love. " It 's a non-profit

Earth's environment severely
threatened, says UN report
According to a massive United Nations
study on the environment released May
22, the planet is headed for disaster. In the
next 30 years, the Earth could have mainly
desert-like condirions, lose a quarter of its
mammal species and leave people living in
slums in large regions, constantly perishing
from thirst and water-borne disease. Global
warming may increase and cause severe water
problems. The report said that with untrammeled economic growth, three percent of
the Earth's surface would be absorbed into
cities within 30 years, affecting wildlife and
biodiversity drastically. By the middle of this
century, we will probably see as much as 30
percent of species diversity eradicated, and

"He's alive!" she yelled.
"Yo u've bee n in a bad accident, " she told
th e cycl ist. "Lay still . I know you are going

Lehr shuddered, she says, and he started

She felt it twitching slightly.
"You're young. You're strong. You'll get
through this," she told him. ''I'm here with

She held his hand until the amb ulance
came. Two days later he died in the hospitaI.

New-clear war?
hll Evan Bastings
India and Pakistan are at odds over
Kashmir while 1.4 million' troops from the
two nations line the border from Tibet to
the Arabian Sea. Welcome to the wirld's
most dangerous nuclear confrontation since
the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis between the
U.S. and the Soviet Union. India proclaimed
it would go to war against Pakistan unless
Islamic separatists stopped attacking its
Indian-ruled portion of Kashmir.
Kashmiri insurgents inside Indian
Kashmir srage the attacks, according to
Pakistan. Militant Hindu nationalists
dominate India's government. Pakistan
continues to support the Kashmir "intifada"
while officially claiming it has ceased
support for trans-border insurgent attacks,
which th e U .S. brands "Islamic terrorism "
but Pak istanis term a legi timate liberation
stru gg le by an oppressed people . While
th ey aren't supporting all the groups th at
resist the Indian dominati on of Kashmir,
Pakistan is outnumbered and outgunned
seven to one by India. Pakistan says it may
respond to any major Indian ground attacks
with tactical nuclear weapons.
The Bush administration branded
Kashmir separatists "Islamic terrorists,"
encouraging India to act like the U.S.
in Afghanistan by striking at "terrorist"
bases inside Pakistani Kashmir. While
Pak istan says they wi II stand for terrorist
camps within its borders, they respect
the legitimacy of the mostly Muslim populat ion of Pakistani Kashmir to resist tyran ny. Donald Rumsfeld, the U.S. Defense
Secretary, warned India and Pakistan that
war was not an option because of th e risk
of esca lation betwee n the two nucl ea r
armed states. M. V. Ramana of Princeton
Uni versity and other nuclear researchers ar
Princeton have estimated rhat if a tenth of
rhe nuclea r weapons of the two co untri es
were exploded above ten of their larges t
ciries, 2.6 mi ll ion people would die or
be in jured in India an d 1.8 mill ion in
Pakistan .

T hese students have bee n meeting once
a wee k with th ei r instructors Mose 'X'illiams
and Joel Reid to learn to p-ropi ng ski lls such
as knot tying, belaying, rapp elling, a nd,
of co urse , cl imb ing. You may have see n
them on cam pus, showing their stuff wh il e
rappe lling o ff th e clock tower or powering
arou nd th e climbing gym . T hey are a n
eclectic bun ch of folks with great atritudes
and budding climbing skills.
We left Evergreen ea rly Saturday morn ingand arrived in the Tieton River Ca nyo n
at about noon. T he class got its first . taste

smooth and sa fe and soon we were up at
th e columns where Mose and Joel led two
traditional routes an d se t up top-ropes.
For most of the class this was their first
time on real rock, an d they took turns . -
belaying each other up th e routes, practicing
han d jams and lay backs and bea ming with
excitement after being lowe red back d own
to th e gro und.
Sunday morning brought rai n to th e

wh ile sharing lunches and solving riddl es in
a cave. Sunday afternoon proved to be dry
and sunny and we were back on the rock,
with two mo re bea ut iful crack climbs th at

Mose and Joel set up two more cl im bs

T here were great meals cooked, ra ttlesnakes seen, an d a beau tiful dese rt m oo n

As part of the Living Myths class, Evergreen students perform "Sneak, Swim , Slither,

collaboration" to find the magical and curing Purple Orange . The players, left to right: Ben

H artung says a few ni ghts ago she was
driving home when a 19- or 20-yea r- old
bicyclist passed her. Hartung sto pp ed
he r car, backed up and ye lled to gee the
biker's attent ion.
"I have just wa tched someone dressed
exactly like yo u ge t hit by a car and die,"
she told the yo ung woman.
"I rea li zed I freaked her o ut," Hartu ng
says. But H a rtun g ca n 't h e lp it. She
says she h as a n emot ional r,ac tion to
every bi cyclis t th at she sees who is illprepared.
H artun g says she wan ts to raise more
aware ness abo ut how invisible bikers are
without refl ec tors, and about how easy it
is to become visib le.
"You see thi s," sh e says, ho lding up
a reflective vest. "I paid $12.99 for this
today," she says. "But I've see n them for
under ten at Targe t. "
Hartun g h as downloaded o nt o h er
personal co mputer Nick Lehr's graffiti
logo " Ne xt" from th e mu ral his fr ien d s
did for him in downtown O lympia . She
plans on making a refl ective sticker with it
that ca n be applied to helmets or bikes.
"I a m a one-woman c rus ad e," s h e
says.
She is also working with the graduation
co mmittee to make an announcement at
th e ceremony.
She says s he is spending th ese d ays
as kin g herse lf what N ick would want fo r
th e students of Evergreen .
"He wouldn't wa nt anyone else to end
their lives th e way he did, " she says.
