I am linking this as the first week a “green Version” of the paper is downloadable. Next week the separate articles are available.

6 years ago we got involved with Dvsas (Domestic Violence awareness San Juans – now SAFE). My partner joined the board and did a fund raiser which provided for a part-time advocate. At one time we had a program, 100 man standing, which asked for men to donate $100 and become advocates for the cause. I still remember the local sheriff and 3 deputies on our deck eating a Persian lunch. They were not small but she, 5’0” and 100lbs went around poking them to get on board. We made the goal and they helped. We also made silhouettes to represent women, men and children killed in the state. Then there were 26. The next year it went up to 28 and last year it was 51. This year it is 47 which included an islander, Shaw. In the photos the dark purple ones are the ones we made.
