Free gun locks available in Sultan

Stanwood police aren’t the only ones giving away free gun locks. Sultan Police Chief Fred Walser said his department has about 600 to give away. Just drop by the police station, 515 Main St., Sultan. The department has given away about 1,000 locks in the past two years.

Several groups accept pop tops

Dozens of readers answered a request in FYI on Wednesday about where to donate pop tops from aluminum cans.

Some groups that collect pull tops for charities include the Marysville Moose Lodge, the Everett Eagles, the American Legion on Camano Island and Airstream travel clubs. Several groups save pop tops to donate to Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Heatherwood Middle School and Brier Elementary School also are having a pop-top drive.

The Puget Sound Kidney Center in Everett does not accept pop tops, but feel free to sell the aluminum and make a donation.

Correction

Attorney Barry A. Hammer has $3.5 million in debt due to loans on his properties, and also owes $9.5 million, most of it to 70 investors who were given promissory notes, according to documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Seattle. Due to an editing error, the amounts were misstated in a story on Page A1 on Wednesday. The figures were correct in the online version of the story, which can be found at www. heraldnet.com.
