To understand the Pub Crawl and Poker Run process:four other pubs within walking distance of Gallaghers
participate and a poker card is obtained at each place.
By 4PM, the fun begins at Gallaghers’ to see who has
the highest hands and prizes are given out to thosewith the best hands. Great fun was had by all last year
and someone actually had a Royal Flush!
The Edmonds Veterans’ Plaza group has secured alltheir funds for the park/plaza; so we are quickly
moving forward. We will be working with Master
Sculpture Lena Toritch (http://lenatortich.com andhttp://www.veteransmemorialstatues.com/) for ourinformation on Veterans and K-9 Military Officers.
As Ms. Tortich’s Veterans’ Memorial Statues website
indicates: “Master Sculptor Lena Toritch createsbronze Veterans Memorial Statues that honor thebravery and personal sacrifice of our American
Military. As an immigrant to this country more than 20years ago, Ms. Toritch’s own fierce American
patriotism fires her passion to create monuments thatare accurate in every detail and reflect the spirit, prideand courage of the US Military. These custom military
memorial statues are portraits of real soldiers and theirK-9 partners who served with honor and distinction.
The SOF K-9 memorials pay tribute to a unique breedof military dog. Ms. Toritch has created several life
sized, bronze statues of military dogs including aBelgian Malinois dressed in full combat gear.”
To watch the creation of her first Military War Dog

our website http://www.olae.org/memorial.html for all

Last month, the Seattle Barkery started setting up
shop every Friday. It has been going great and dogs
are enjoying their treats, according to Dawn Ford
(pictured). “We have really loved our Fridays at
Edmonds and we do have human food: coffee, tea,bottled cold brew & sodas, cookies, scones, banana
bread, Uncle Woody's Caramel Corn, popsicles, etc.
for sale for humans.” Ford further stated.
The Barkary has been featured in Evening Magazine
and was in the Seattle Times’ Food and Drink Section(6/15/16) and Edmonds is highlighted in both:

New NON-EMERGENCY
Number to use!!!
From now on, don’t call 911 unless it’s to report anemergency. Snohomish County dispatchers have anew phone number for non-emergency calls and that
number is: 425-775-3000. The new number allows
operators to reserve 911 for true emergencies, and is
expected to help cut down on delays when dispatching
first responders. It also aligns Snohomish County withnational standards for emergency dispatch, asagencies across the U.S. are launching nonemergency numbers. If you’re not sure if why you’recalling is an emergency, dial 911 just in case. A
dispatcher will prioritize your call for emergency
response.
The same call takers answer both numbers, butthey’re flagged differently, so that the operator willknow to route the 911 call first, followed by a nonemergency call.

SCOOP THE POOP!
We really hate bringing this up each newsletter but
come on people – dog users – friends – volunteers – ifyou see poop pick it up. If you see someone who
doesn’t see where their dog pooped, don’t get mad,just take a plastic bag over and say, do you need oneof these. Please be peaceful and kind.
Remember this park is MANAGED my volunteers like
you and if you are interested in joining our team,contact us at o.l.a.e@comcast.net. We meet at
Gallaghers’ U-Brew the 2nd Thursday of the Month at
7pm.
