Back of Photo: As early evening moves into dusk.... 19-year-old Tacoma resident Janine Absten (right) and 19-year-old Sean Brown (Tacoma) light candles as part of a protest (and vigil) that was joined by 150 others at Owen Beach this evening. The group was concerned by the recent oil spill in Alaska and spent the time discussing the issues surrounding the incident and voicing feelings thereof. The group, with many families and children present created no problems for park officials who earlier were concerned that the protest might grow out of hand, possibly resulting in damages. After the gathering members left the park. Geff Hinds/Photo Gordon/News
