St. Helens memories
To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the eruption of Mount St. Helens on Tuesday, KCTS-TV, channel 9, is scheduled to rebroadcast the 1994 film “The Fire Below Us, Remembering Mount St. Helens” by Camano Island filmmaker Michael Lienau several times in coming days.
The first showing is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday. Rebroadcasts are scheduled for 1:30 a.m. Monday; midnight Tuesday; 7:30 p.m. Tuesday; midnight Sunday and noon Monday.
You can learn more about Lienau’s experiences in the Mount St. Helens blast zone in Tuesday’s Herald.
Gumming up the gum tax: If you don’t like the new and higher taxes on candy, gum, bottled water, soda pop and beer passed by the Legislature, get your pen ready to sign a petition. On Wednesday, the Washington Beverage Association filed initiatives to repeal the increases and will need to collect signatures of 241,153 registered voters by July 2 to make the ballot.
Prepare for bad times: With many natural disasters taking place around the world, Warm Beach Senior Community hosts an event about how to prepare for a natural disaster.
Stephen Hagberg from Snohomish County Emergency Management will discuss “Natural Disaster Preparedness” at 1:30 p.m. Friday in the Beachwood Lounge at the Warm Beach Senior Community, 20420 Marine Drive in Stanwood.
