August Book Club Meeting & Movie Hi All, So we're doing something a little different this month! We are going to go see the movie and then drinks at D&W Wine Cellars afterward to discuss both. Exact time of the movie will be announced closer to the actual date. This month's selection is "Eat Pray Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. Here is a synopsis of the book: Gilbert (The Last American Man) grafts the structure of romantic fiction upon the inquiries of reporting in this sprawling yet methodical travelogue of soul-searching and self-discovery. Plagued with despair after a nasty divorce, the author, in her early 30s, divides a year equally among three dissimilar countries, exploring her competing urges for earthly delights and divine transcendence. First, pleasure: savoring Italy's buffet of delights--the world's best pizza, free-flowing wine and dashing conversation partners--Gilbert consumes la dolce vita as spiritual succor. "I came to Italy pinched and thin," she writes, but soon fills out in waist and soul. Then, prayer and ascetic rigor: seeking communion with the divine at a sacred ashram in India, Gilbert emulates the ways of yogis in grueling hours of meditation, struggling to still her churning mind. Finally, a balancing act in Bali, where Gilbert tries for equipoise "betwixt and between" realms, studies with a merry medicine man and plunges into a charged love affair. Sustaining a chatty, conspiratorial tone, Gilbert fully engages readers in the year's cultural and emotional tapestry--conveying rapture with infectious brio, recalling anguish with touching candor--as she details her exotic tableau with history, anecdote and impression

Root Disease Workshop
When: Saturday, August 28, 2010: 9:00 AM 1:00 PM
Where: Classroom session at 10711 164th Ave. Ct. E., Bonney Lake
Field session at WSU Demonstration Forest, Bonney Lake, WA
Instructors: Ken Russell, Forest Pathologist
Dennis Tompkins, ISA Certified Arborist and Tree Risk Assessor
Background:
The WSU Demonstration Forest experienced severe blowdown from the February 2006 windstorm because of extensive laminated root rot. This living laboratory will be the fourth workshop conducted at the forest and provides a unique hands-on experience for attendees to learn about root diseases and to practice identifying various diseases.
Ken Russell was retained by WSU to mark the forest for logging the root rot infection centers. The logging was nearly completed before the memorable December 1996 storm that reeked havoc throughout the Puget Sound region.
Dennis Tompkins initiated a research project with Russell to (1) determine if crown appearance could be an indicator of the presence of the disease and (2) evaluate the effectiveness of cutting buffer trees around infection centers to reduce the spread of the disease.
Equipment:
The classroom session will be conducted at a private residence under a canopy of ornamental cherry trees and the field session will be at the forest. Dress appropriately for the weather and field work.
Bring your own chairs. Recommended equipment is a hand lens (10X or higher) and boots. Bottled water will be available.
