STALLED: Group Awaiting End of Negotiations to Announce Projects Over Next Two Years
By Kaylee Osowski
The state Legislature’s continued budget talks have left some groups in limbo, wait-ing to finalize plans when the state’s num-bers are completed.
One of those groups is the Chehalis River Basin Flood Authority, which is working to update its projects list for the next two years of planned activity.
OLYMPIA (AP) — Gov. Jay Inslee said Friday that closing some tax exemptions should be the compromise that the House and Senate consider in order to reach a bud-get agreement quickly and avoid a partial government shutdown in Washington state.
Inslee said that a new capital gains tax that had been proposed by House Demo-crats is now off the table, and he said that the middle ground for both sides would involve closing exemptions to address the estimated $300-350 million difference between both chambers' budgets.

The Mexican gray wolves at Wolf Haven Interna-tional in Tenino have had a busy spring.
Wolf Haven announced Friday that three pairs of the endangered species living at the sanctuary produced three litters with 10 total pups this spring.
“It’s actually been a really exciting year,” said Director of Animal Care Wendy Spencer.
The announcement coincided with a visit by actor Jon Huertas, the celebrity ambassador for conserva-tion organization Wildlands Network. Huertas said he hopes to help educate people on the importance of saving wolves and other endangered North American predator species.
“I’ve always been a fan of large carnivores, apex pred-ators, in North America,” he said. “A lot of popular cul-ture … has been inspired by carnivores.”
Huertas noted the popularity of the “X-Men’s” Wol-verine, which he said was one of his favorite superheroes.
“Carnivores are just cool,” he said.While kids like carnivores, Huertas said, “They don’t

The man chosen to become Morton General Hospital’s next superintendent and chief execu-tive has backed out of the job.
Tom Tomasino’s hiring was approved by the hospital’s board of commissioners during its June 10 meeting and officials were in contract negotiations with him up until last Tuesday when he walked away.
Diane Markham, the hospi-tal’s chief marketing and devel-opment officer, told The Chron-icle Friday he declined the job for personal reasons. Tomasino was the Board of Commission-ers’ first choice of the two final
candidates vying for the job, but it isn’t clear who will replace him.
“I assume the board is go-ing to start (the hiring process) all over, but they haven’t had a meeting since they got word,”
she said. The hiring process with To-
masino was to be completed in July and he was expected to take the job in August.

To the Court Reporter:Can you please print the
Lewis County Superior Court news. You have not yet printed for the whole month of May or any from June.
My favorite part of the news-paper — finding out how much prison time people are sen-tenced to. Thank you.
Raymond FaureMonroe Correctional Complex
Raymond, First, allow me to thank you
for continuing to be a subscrib-er during your court-ordered
tenure at the Monroe Correc-tional Complex. Normally, any jail mail that arrives here at Chronicle World Headquarters is aimed at claiming innocence or pointing out perceived im-proprieties in lockup.
Your question is much easier to process.
You’ll find the latest court news on page Main 12 of today’s edition.
Our court news is considered a sporadic feature of the news-paper, as our ability to compile the sentencing data is one that depends on availability of the documents and our ability to
type them up and place them for printing.
There’s a reason very few newspapers or other media outlets make the effort to print court records — it’s time-con-suming and often controversial, as most people don’t want to read their names in the press for less-than-flattering reasons.
We consider it a public ser-vice deserving of the time and work. Enjoy the latest. I imagine you are keeping an eye out for potential new neighbors.

Utah School Creates ‘Texting Lane’ for Phone-Focused Walkers
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — One Utah university is giv-ing students glued to their cell-phones a place to call their own: a designated lane for texting while walking.
The neon green lanes painted on the stairs to the gym at Utah Valley University were intended as a lighthearted way to brighten up the space and get students’ at-tention, spokeswoman Melinda Colton said Thursday.
And it worked. A picture of the lanes — which divide the stairs into sections for runners, walkers and texters — created widespread buzz on social media this month after it was posted online.
Though the lanes are limited to the school’s recreation center, 22-year-old student Tasia Briggs wouldn’t mind seeing them catch on across campus.
“There’s nothing worse than walking behind someone who’s texting, and you can’t get around them and go anywhere,” Briggs said. She added smartphone messaging — whether through texts, Twitter, Snapchat or In-stagram — is a big part of how her generation communicates, and it’s cool to see the college ac-knowledge it.
Utah Valley University is in Orem, 40 miles south of Salt Lake City, and has an enroll-ment of about 31,000.
Student Chelsea Meza, 22, says the lanes touch on a cultur-al reality in an age of ubiquitous cellphones.
“It’s kind of funny. You walk down the hallway and instead of saying hi, everyone is walking and texting,” she said. Though the lanes weren’t designed to
curb a texting problem on cam-pus, about half of students who see the lanes really use them, Meza said.
Woman Charged With Killing Boyfriend in Canned Food Attack
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Southern California woman has been charged with beating her boyfriend to death with canned food.
Prosecutors on Thursday filed a murder charge against 59-year-old Linda Jackson of Lake Los Angeles.
She was jailed. It’s unclear whether she had obtained an attorney. KNBC-TV said Jack-son is charged with striking her 59-year-old boyfriend, David Ruiz, in the head with a can of peas, a can of carrots and a can of chicken broth on Tuesday at her home. If convicted, she could face life in state prison.
Massachusetts 6-Year-Old Plays 100 Holes of Golf for Charity
NORTON, Mass. (AP) — A 6-year-old Massachusetts boy has raised $25,000 for cancer research by playing 100 holes of golf in one day in memory of a classmate who died of the dis-ease.
Ryan McGuire, of Foxbor-ough, completed the golf mara-thon Wednesday at MGA Links at Mamantapett, a par-3 course in Norton.
Ryan played the 100 holes in memory of his kindergarten buddy, Danny Nickerson, who died in April of a rare and in-operable form of pediatric brain cancer.
He got the idea to play 100 holes of golf because his mother, Cheryl, is the program director of Golf Fights Cancer, a nonprof-it organization that encourages golfers to play and raise money for cancer-related charities.
Ryan told The Sun Chronicle of Attleboro that he “just want-ed to do it for Danny.”
Daily Outtake: Crouching Tiger at Chambers Bay

ment at Chambers Bay on Friday in University Place. The Associated Press is providing hundreds of photographs a day
from the tournament, though only a few of them have been printed in The Chronicle’s Sports section.

AFTER FIRING: Tenino Holds Special Meeting to Discuss Police Department; DRS Audit, Department Budget, Police Chief Job Description, SRO Contract Debated
By Justyna Tomtas
In a special meeting held Thursday night, the Tenino City Council discussed possible legal action to regain funds paid by the city for overpaid benefits of the city’s former police chief.
Mayor Bret Brodersen pro-vided council members with an update from legal counsel re-garding the Department of Re-tirement Systems audit, which
found the city was responsible for paying ap-proximately $86,460 for benefits for-mer police chief John Hutchings received while working as a full-time em-ployee.
The chief was fired in March for working excessive hours, Brodersen said previously.
Brodersen received bids from two firms that said they would charge the city $200 to $300 per hour for legal advice moving for-ward.
Council members said they want to obtain other bids, and possibly contract a firm located within Thurston County.
Councilor Wayne Fournier, who is running for mayor, asked about the mention of a tort claim
in an email, stating that he be-lieves the mayor is not sharing
all of the infor-mation with the council.
Brodersen said the city had not filed a claim, but that he was not at liberty to discuss de-tails in a public meeting. He said the city’s attorney would
discuss the matter in an execu-tive session scheduled for Tues-day’s meeting.
“There’s something in be-tween the lines here that we don’t know about and that’s what we need to hear about before any de-cisions are made,” Fournier said.
John O’Callahan, another
councilor who has filed for the mayor position, said he does not feel comfortable with the amount of money the law firm would cost the city without knowing how many hours the city would be billed for.
As for the police department’s budget, if the DRS payment is excluded, the police department has spent to date approximately $166,000, or 47 percent of its annual budget. Brodersen said since the DRS audit payment was not planned, the money spent on benefits is currently in the nega-tive at about $60,318.
An interloan fund was will cover the cost of the DRS audit findings.
The police department only has two officers. Because of that, over 96 percent of the overtime budget has already been spent
just six months into the year.Brodersen said the recruit-
ment information for a third of-ficer has been released and once someone is hired on, it should impact the amount of overtime being charged.
Several changes were made to the job description of the chief of police, including the removal of hours limitation, placing the position back at fulltime or 40 hours a week.
Councilors voiced concerns about a requirement that stated the police chief only had to pos-sess a high school diploma or a GED equivalency.
O’Callahan said he would like to see a higher level of edu-cation.
“The reason why we looked at reducing the education require-ment was to actually allow the
city to be able to draw from a larger pool of applicants and to put us more in line with jurisdic-tions of our size,” Brodersen said.
“If we make the job description too restrictive then we will limit who can apply for the position to a point where it really might hamper the city’s ability to re-cruit.”
Serena Painter, a councilor, said she did not think a bach-elor’s degree is necessary, but she prefers a bachelor's or associate’s degree in a criminal related field.
Brodersen said he would make changes to the job descrip-tion that will be presented at Tuesday’s meeting.
Once the description is ap-proved, the monthly salary for the police chief would range from $3,467 to $4,214, along with benefits.
The mayor also updated the councilors on a school resource officer contract with the school district. Brodersen said the dis-trict wants to wait until the posi-tions were filled before present-ing any sort of contract.
Tenino’s next meeting will be held on Tuesday at city hall.

News in Brief
County Coroner: Family of Misplaced Cremated Remains FoundBy The Chronicle
A bargain hunter picked up more than she bargained for re-cently at Yard Birds in Chehalis.
According to the Lewis Coun-ty Coroner’s Office, the woman bought a box of miscellaneous items at Yard Birds, and when
she emptied the box, she found a smaller blue velvet box con-taining a small picture, a brass plaque and a ce-ramic container filled with cre-mated remains.
The woman turned in the
remains to the Lewis County Coroner’s Office.
Coroner Warren McLeod said the office was not able to find local records for the re-mains, identified on the plaque as Kim Bowdre.
McLeod sent out a press Wednesday release asking for help finding relatives of the de-ceased woman to numerous law enforcement and news agencies.
On Thursday, relatives claimed the remains. McLeod said family members thought the box was mistakenly included in an estate sale.
Driver Faces Negligent Driving Charge in Salzer Valley Road CrashBy The Chronicle
A driver of a 1991 two-door
Honda CRX suffered life-threat-ening injuries Wednesday eve-ning after being ejected during a one-vehicle collision on Salzer Valley Road in Centralia.
The crash was caused by speeding and alcohol, according to the Lewis County Sheriff ’s Of-fice.
The driver, Blake S. Cohoon, 25, of Arizona, has been referred to the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office for a charge of first-degree negligent driving.
The Riverside Fire Authority and the Lewis County Sheriff ’s Office responded at about 7:40 p.m. to reports of the collision. Upon arrival, crews found that Cohoon had been ejected from the vehicle. Cohoon was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, according to the Sheriff ’s Office. A passenger was wearing a seat belt and received minor cuts and bruises
The vehicle, a 1991 two-door Honda CRX, was destroyed. Co-hoon was airlifted to Harbor-view Medical Center in Seattle with life-threatening injuries. The passenger refused treatment at the scene.
Aid personnel reported to Sheriff ’s Office deputies that they smelled alcohol on Cohoon and the passenger confirmed that he had been drinking prior to the crash, according to the Sheriff ’s Office.
State Fire Marshal: Buying Fireworks Online Is IllegalBy The Chronicle
State Fire Marshal Charles M. Duffy issued a statement this week to remind Washington res-idents that buying fireworks over
the Internet is illegal. In Washington, fireworks
can only be purchased legally from a licensed retail stand be-tween June 28 and July 5.
Orders for fireworks can-not be placed over the Internet or posted on websites such as Craigslist.
To learn more about fire-works ordinances, go to www.wsp.wa.gov/fire/fireworks.htm.
State: 7 Percent More Fireworks Stands Licensed in 2015By The Chronicle
The total number of retail fireworks stands licensed in 2015 is up 7 percent, or 65 licenses, from last year, according to state Fire Marshal Charles M. Duffy.
Stands must have state licens-es before a city or county can issue a permit to operate a fire-works stand in Washington.
The licenses are issued by counties. King County has seen the largest increase in retail fireworks stand licenses, with 15 more than last year, followed by Clark and Pierce County at 11 more each and Grays Harbor County, with six more licenses.
Fireworks sales begin at noon on June 28 and ends at 9 p.m. July 5.
Individual cities and counties can ban or restrict the sale or dis-charge of fireworks.

CHEHALIS: Suspect in Robbery and Chase Claims Someone Was Using His ID During Crime; Held on $500,000 Bail
By Natalie Johnson
A Vancouver, Washington, man arrested last week after an armed robbery and high-speed chase on Interstate 5 pleaded not guilty to three charges in Lewis County Superior Court Thurs-
day. Huber Juarez Arellano, 21,
said at his first court appear-ance, June 11 that someone was using his identification at the time of the crimes.
He was charged with first-degree rob-bery, attempting
to elude a police vehicle and first-degree malicious mischief the day after he allegedly pulled a gun on an employee of I-5 Toyo-
ta in Chehalis during a test drive, forced the salesman to get out of the car and led law enforcement on a high-speed chase ending in Cowlitz County.
The gun was later identified as an Airsoft gun.
At his arraignment Thursday, he twice tried to comment on the charges against him, saying,
“The evidence is not enough,” be-fore Judge James Lawler and his attorney David Arcuri stopped him, and asked him to simply answer “guilty” or “not guilty.”
Juarez Arellano left his iden-tification information at the dealership during the test drive,
according to the Lewis County Sheriff ’s Office. He has exten-sive tattoos on his face, neck and arms, including one on the back of his neck reading “DANGER.”
His next court hearing is scheduled for July 9. He is being held in the Lewis County Jail on $500,000 bail.
Juarez Arellano allegedly went to I-5 Toyota in Chehalis on June 10 to test drive a Ford F-150 truck. While on the test drive, he is accused of pulling a pistol on a 46-year-old sales associate, and ordering him to get out of the car.
Officers responded and at-tempted to pull the truck over.
Arellano did not stop the truck and led officers on a pursuit at speeds of 80 to 90 mph down I-5 and on backroads.
He drove the truck through a fence off Pleasant Hill Road, ac-cording to the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office, and fled to a house.
Officers used a K-9 Unit to track the suspect.
The owner of the house was home and called 911 to report there was a man in her house ask-ing for water.
Deputies found him hiding under a porch, according to a release from the Cowlitz County Sheriff ’s Office.

$50 REIMBURSEMENT: Bike Riders Traveling from Seattle to Portland Need Place to Stay
By Justyna Tomtas
In July, thousands of cyclists will come through Centralia on their journey of more than 200 miles from Seattle to Portland.
As the halfway point, Centra-lia is a perfect place for the riders to catch a break and get a chance to rest before they continue on their way.
The Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce is look-ing for private residents and non-profits willing to provide the bi-cyclists with private housing.
The Chamber’s event coor-dinator, Michelle Turner, said she has to find a place for 103 riders to stay. Now that number is down to 50, as local residents have stepped forward to help.
The riders will be staying in the area on July 11, and Turner said it is a great opportunity to meet a variety of different people.
“This is a really enjoyable ex-perience for pretty much every-one,” she said, adding that 98 percent of those who house rid-ers do so again in the future. “It’s a great way to meet people you are not normally going to meet.”
Alicia Bull, executive direc-tor of the Chamber, said at the monthly Chamber forum that
those interested in housing rid-ers do not have to live in the Cen-tralia or Chehalis area, but would need to offer transportation for the riders and their luggage.
In Lewis County, there are several luggage drop-off points located at Centralia College, Rec-reation Park, Bethel Church and Napavine Elementary School. Anyone interested in housing a rider would have to meet at one
of the luggage shops to collect the bicyclist’s belongings from a drop-off truck.
Turner also said it is impor-tant to provide the riders with a bed or air mattress, and dinner, as well as breakfast, preferably something high in carbs to keep their energy levels up.
The Chamber will reimburse those who participate $50 per rider. Often, private housing
options have been utilized by nonprofits as an easy fundrais-ing method, but this year Turner said only about 20 percent of participants land in the nonprof-it sector.
The remainder of the bikers who did not pay for private hous-ing will stay at Centralia College or other community facilities. The college will provide show-
ers, food vendors, a full cafeteria, a beer garden and a television viewing area. The grassy areas at the college can be utilized by bicyclers as a free place to set up camp.
Turner said she expects over 11,000 riders to come through town.
“It’s a really fun experience,” Bull said. “People from all over the world really are traveling in the STP ride and experiencing that.”
The STP riders are brought into town by Cascade Bicycle Club.
The ride is the largest multi-day bicycle event in the Northwest. Routes take cyclists through scenic valleys, for-ests and farmlands of Western Washington and Oregon.
Anyone willing to house a rider is encouraged to email [email protected] or call the chamber at (360) 748-8885.

By The Chronicle
Centralia College is prepar-ing for a state government shut-down in the event legislators are unable to come to a budget agreement by the June 30 dead-line.
If a shutdown does occur, the college is prepared to use tuition revenue to maintain services through July.
No summer classes or pro-grams will be canceled and no temporary layoff notices will be used to employees other than those on state contract opera-tions.
“Centralia College under-stands any loss of service, any cancellation of classes, will be detrimental to the success of our students, many of whom are working year-round to finish their de-grees or com-plete workforce programs,” Centralia College President Rob-ert Frost said in a press release.
“We are committed to doing anything in our power to sup-
port these students and keep our doors open.”
In the event of a state gov-ernment shutdown, Centralia College will notify the campus community of impending action. The general operating budget and federal grant programs will continue to operate throughout the summer quarter. State grant-funded program employees may receive notices sooner, as fund-ing cutoff notices are received.
Frost said that although he is confident a deal will be reached with the state leaders, the college is planning for every possible contingency just in case.

News in Brief
Summer STEM Academy Receives $5,000 DonationBy The Chronicle
The Community Foundation of South Puget Sound donated $5,000 toward the third annual Summer Stem Academy that will be held at W.F. West High School this summer.
The donation was made through the Chehalis Founda-tion.
“We are very grateful to the Community Foundation of South Puget Sound for support-ing our summer STEM camp,” Chehalis School District Super-intendent Ed Rothlin said.
This year’s theme, “Drone Zone,” includes three half-day sessions and teaches participat-ing students the operations and systems of unmanned aerial ve-hicles, while exploring the funda-mentals of robotics through pro-gramming and the construction of SumoBots for the competition.
The weeklong camp includes a full day on the campus of Cen-tralia College and a field trip hosted by Boeing’s Future of Flight Aviation Center
“The foundation made this donation because we want to
help kids,” CEO for the Commu-nity Foundation of South Puget Sound, Norma Schuiteman, said.
“We see this STEM camp as a way to provide additional learning opportunities to students from southern Thurston and Lewis counties.”
The camp will be held at W.F. West High School Aug. 3-7.
Other donors to this sum-mer’s STEM Academy include the Chehalis Tribe, Puget Sound Energy, Centralia College and the Chehalis Foundation.
Alta Forest Products Building Corporate Office in ChehalisBy The Chronicle
Alta Forest Products is build-ing a new corporate building in Chehalis to help bring several de-partments in different locations to one centralized place.
The company is the world’s largest producer of wood fence boards and operates four saw-mills across the region, including its flagship mill based in Morton.
The Morton mill exclusively cuts western red cedar and is ac-claimed to be the fastest lumber mill of any kind in the world on a board-per-minute basis, states
Alta Forest Products’ website.Jeffrey Cook, vice president
of the company, said the busi-ness will be building a 5,000 square foot corporate office at Liberty Plaza. The area, situated off of Exit 77, is known as the business gateway into Chehalis and is next to the Holiday Inn Express & Suites.
Currently the building’s cor-porate office is located in Mor-ton, but Cook said the central location would be a benefit for customers, vendors and employ-ees. The proximity to Interstate 5 also adds convenience.
The new building will bring the sales department and admin-istration into one building.
The lot was purchased within the last six months and the com-pany broke ground about two weeks ago, Cook said. The build-ing should be completed by the end of the year.
Right now, Alta Forest Prod-ucts’ sales department leases property in a nearby building at the Timberland Bank in Cheha-lis.
Alta Forest Products is a 13-month-old company, which was formed from a merger of TMI Forest Products and Welco USA, both companies that have been around for 50 years, Cook said.

CHANGE SOUGHT: ‘Better Thurston’ Supporters Plan to Eliminate Commission in Favor of County Council
By Lisa Pemberton
The Olympian
Signature gatherers armed with petitions will be hitting the streets to enlist support for a pro-posal that could eventually lead to a major shakeup in Thurston County government.
Supporters of a campaign referred to as “Better Thur-ston” want to establish a county charter and replace Thurston County’s three-member Board of County Commissioners with a five-member county council and elected county executive.
But making that change would be a lengthy process. They’re hoping to collect enough signatures to get an initiative on the November 2016 ballot that would call for an election of a Board of Freeholders, a group that would be tasked with draft-ing the new form of government that would go before voters dur-ing a later election.
Olympia City Councilman Jim Cooper said supporters plan to collect voter signatures “any-where and everywhere we can between now and next spring.”
They’ll be at the Pride events in downtown Olympia this week-end and all of the other major festivals and events in the county in upcoming months, he said.
“The thing to be really clear with people is: This is the first step of having a community-driven conversation,” Cooper said.
To qualify for the ballot, or-ganizers will need to collect a certain number of signatures based on the voter turnout for this year’s General Election. If past voter trends are an indica-tion, they’ll need about 8,400 sig-natures, Cooper said.
Supporters of Better Thur-ston say the current three-person commission is outdated and doesn’t provide adequate repre-sentation for those who live in the rural areas of the county.
“All three of our commission-ers live within 15 minutes of each other,” Cooper said.
A new system could bring more accountability to county
government and establish a sepa-ration of powers, Cooper said. If approved, a charter would give county citizens the powers of initiative and referendum; those aren’t permitted under the cur-rent system.
“It’s really clear that our com-missioners are acting as the leg-islative and executive branch and sometimes the judicial branch,” Cooper said.
Last fall, organizers of Bet-ter Thurston asked the Board of County Commissioners to put an election of freeholders on the ballot by resolution, but officials declined.
“A number of factors includ-ing budget impacts, gauging citizen interest, and having a robust community discussion influenced our decision,” stated a letter signed by Commission-ers Cathy Wolfe, Sandra Romero and Bud Blake.
“Part of the rationale used to promote the charter is popula-tion growth in the county,” the
letter also stated. “However, as cities continue annexations in the Urban Growth Areas, it is quite possible the population of unincorporated Thurston Coun-ty will actually decrease over time.”
Seven counties in the state, including Pierce and King, have adopted home rule charters by a vote of the people, according to the Municipal Research and Services Center, a nonprofit that consults with local governments. Clark County voters approved a change to their government last November.
State Rep. Chris Reykdal, D-Tumwater, said he plans to con-tinue supporting the effort by raising money for it and gather-ing petition signatures.
“As we approach 300,000 in population, it’s time we recon-sider how we govern,” he said. “A five-member policy-only coun-cil gives us a chance to expand representation throughout the county.”
There already have been several failed Thurston County government reform attempts, in-cluding one that was rejected by voters in 1990. Better Thurston organizers say they’ll need to have all of the signatures gath-ered and submitted to the coun-ty’s Auditor’s office by next April to place the issue on the Novem-ber 2016 ballot.

Drug Court to Celebrate Nonprofit Status, Seek Board MembersBy The Chronicle
Lewis County Drug Court is hosting an open house from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Salvation Army, 303 N. Gold St., Centralia
Jennifer Soper, drug court manager, said the court will be celebrating its recent attainment of nonprofit status.

Commissioners to Consider Land Purchase at Centralia Shop SiteBy The Chronicle
The Board of County Com-missioners will consider pur-chasing land bordering its cen-tral shop on Jackson Highway in Chehalis at its Monday meeting.
The proposed price for the about 14 total acres that border two sides of the county’s prop-erty at 3460 Jackson Highway is $135,000.
The purchase would give the county additional property frontage on both Jackson High-way and East Forest-Napavine Road and would provide oppor-tunity for additional parking, storage and future expansion, according to county documents.
Logger Dies While Topping Tree Near Castle Rock
CASTLE ROCK (AP) — A self-employed logger from Ridgefield has died after he fell from a tree in the Castle Rock area.
The Daily News of Longview reported that 60-year-old Dale Buck died Thursday morning when he was topping trees.
Chief criminal deputy for the Cowlitz County Sheriff ’s Office Charlie Rosenzweig says as the topped-off section fell, it shook the tree and Buck fell at least 30 feet. Authorities believe Buck died instantly.
Rosenzweig says Buck’s safe-ty harness appeared to not have been properly secured.
Buck was self-employed un-der a company called The Tree-man. Because he was working for
himself, the state will not investi-gate the accident.
Boy, 5, Critical After Rescue in Cowlitz River
CASTLE ROCK (AP) — A Cowlitz County sheriff ’s officer says a 5-year-old boy is hospital-ized in critical condition after he and his 11-year-old sister were rescued from the Cowlitz River in Southwest Washington.
KATU-TV reported two people out enjoying the warm weather late Thursday afternoon rescued the boy and began CPR. Emergency crews took over and he was flown to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland.
Sheriff ’s Chief Deputy Char-lie Rosenzweig says the girl was taken to a hospital to be checked for hypothermia but is expected to be OK.
A rescue diver found the girl clinging to a stump in the river but the boy had drifted about one-half mile downstream.
The deputy says the boy and girl had been playing on an in-ner tube when the boy slipped off. Neither child was wearing a life vest.
The rescue took place near Castle Rock.
Lumber Company Fined for Safety Violations After Worker Dies
TUMWATER (AP) — State safety regulators have fined the Manke Lumber Co. in Tacoma for 25 serious and 11 general safety and health violations after a worker died.
The Department of Labor & Industries says the fines topped $87,000.
The agency launched an in-vestigation after Jeffrey Busha was killed in December. He died when his clothing was caught by a rotating shaft that pulled him into a conveyor as he tried to loosen jammed lumber.
The violations included fail-ing to safeguarding exposed shafts at four locations, includ-ing where Busha died.
They were fined for not en-suring grinders were guarded and cited for 12 violations for confined space hazards.
Additional penalties were assessed for violations that in-cluded failing to guard moving parts on belt sanders, bandsaws, sprocket wheels, and pulleys.
The company has 15 business days to appeal.
Commission to Let State’s First Charter School Stay Open
SEATTLE (AP) — On a vote of 4-3, Washington’s first char-ter school is going to survive to
teach another year, despite seri-ous concerns by the statewide Charter School Commission about the school’s financial vi-ability.
The commission voted Thursday to not revoke the school’s charter but to keep First Place on probation for 12 months with required monthly progress and financial reports. The commission left open the possibility of voting again to re-voke the charter any time during that period.
Since opening last fall, First Place has been questioned re-peatedly about its efforts to pro-vide special education, its servic-es for children who do not speak English at home, its financial stability and the school’s general education plan.
Commission Vice Chairman Larry Wright reminded the com-mission before it took a revoca-tion vote that it had decided two weeks ago to give the school one more chance to show it had fixed its problems or face revocation. The school was given nine condi-
tions to meet by this week and at the meeting on Thursday, com-missioners agreed it had not met all nine goals.
“The last time we said it was the last time. We’re going to have 40 schools. And if the structure of decision-making is this fluid, we’ll be held to this precedent in the future,” said Wright, who cast his vote to revoke.
Washington’s charter school law will allow up to 40 of the in-dependent public schools to open in the state. First Place opened as a public charter school after 25 years as a private school.
The commission is in charge of approving and overseeing most of the state’s charter schools. It has approved seven other char-ter schools, with six scheduled to open in the fall.
Spokane Public Schools, which can authorize charter schools, has approved two more schools scheduled to open in 2015.

understand, maybe, they’re en-dangered.”
He said he wants to help edu-cate children about endangered predators, and hopes they will teach adults.
“I think adults learn best from the youth,” he said. “I’d
love to inspire the youth.”Huertas also visited Wood-
land Park Zoo in Seattle on Thursday.
Approximately 109 Mexican gray wolves live in the wild to-day, according to Wolf Haven. The entire population originates from seven animals.
Because of this, every Mexi-
can gray wolf born in captivity is significant, genetically, Spen-cer said.
Wolf Haven participates in the Mexican wolf Species Sur-vival Plan, a captive breeding program to recover the species and reintroduce them into the wild.
Wolf Haven has 11 adult
Mexican gray wolves, three of which are on display for visitors of the sanctuary.
Eight litters of Mexican gray wolves have been born at Wolf Haven since 1996. The organi-zation has released 11 Mexican gray wolves into the wild in the past 19 years.
All of Wolf Haven’s wolves
live in enclosures with natural terrain. Staff let plants grow and don’t cut the grass in enclosures to give the wolves a chance to live in a natural environment.
“Whatever they do, they do,” said Director of Communica-tions Kim Young.
“Until we have a clearer pic-ture on how the money is going to be distributed … we don’t know exactly what our pri-orities and cut lines will be be-cause they’ll be dictated by what money is available,” Ron Averill, Centralia member of the Flood Authority, said.
Representatives from juris-dictions in the Flood Authority recently reviewed and updated their local projects’ scopes of work and funding requests for 2015-17.
Averill said the projects com-
mittee is optimistic that the Flood Authority will get about $20 million for all small projects, such as house raising and fish projects.
The group will negotiate how to disburse that money between the involved agencies once the budgets are finalized.
So far, capital budget fund-ing proposals as of Monday for long-term strategy Chehalis Basin projects are $20 million in the governor’s budget and $26.8 in both the Senate and the House budgets. Local and habi-tat restoration projects are cur-rently proposed to receive $10
million in the governor’s bud-get or $23.2 million in both the House and Senate budgets.
Depending on how nego-tiations with the gas tax in the transportation budget play out, Chehalis Basin flood projects could be in line for $79 million between 2015 and 2021, Averill said.
“That would be for such things as the Airport Levee, getting up to 100-year level, projects on (state Route) 6, on U.S. 12 up near Black Lake and various projects of that nature,” Averill said.
If funds for some projects
come through in the transpor-tation budget, it could free up capital budget money to be used on other projects.
The projects committee plans to submit a recommenda-tion to the Flood Authority for a total projects funding package at its July 16 meeting.
The Flood Authority also plans to showcase what projects have been achieved throughout the basin with previous funds and the purposes the projects serve through both online out-reach and in person at the Grays Harbor County and Southwest Washington fairs.
"We need to get this done and need to get it done very soon," he said.
House leaders said Friday that they are still working on a list of potential exemptions that could address the gap between the two chambers on the ap-proximately $38 billion two-year budget, and Senate Republicans confirmed that they are open to that approach.
Inslee said he wasn't going to say which exemptions should be targeted, though he did mention two that House Democrats in-cluded in a previous budget pro-posal earlier this year: one for oil refineries and other for residents who live in states without a sales tax, like Oregon.
The Democratic-controlled House and Republican-con-trolled Senate have been locked
in budget negotiations for sev-eral weeks, and are currently in a second overtime legislative session after adjourning both a regular 105-day legislative session and a 30-day special session without reaching a deal.
The next spending plan requires addi-tional funding for education, as required by the state Su-preme Court.
A new two-year budget must be signed into law by midnight June 30 or else dozens of state agencies and other offices would completely or partially close and more than 26,000 workers would be furloughed, accord-ing to the state Office of Finan-
cial Management. The current special session ends on June 27, which means lawmakers could potentially be called back for a third special session if a budget isn't passed off both chambers' floors by then.
Washington state has never had a government shutdown, but the Legislature has taken its bud-get talks to the brink before, in-cluding two years ago, when In-slee signed a budget on June 30.
Inslee said that final action on a budget won't happen before the state is required to notify state employees to the possibil-ity of temporary layoffs. Most notices will arrive by email on Tuesday, though some letters were being sent Friday through the Postal Service on Friday to employees on leave. Last month, the state notified unions and vendors of a potential shutdown. But he continued to express
optimism that lawmakers will avoid a government shutdown.
"There is no reason, zero, why we can't have a budget done in one week," he said.
House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan, a Democrat from Covington, stressed that House Democrats have made signifi-cant compromises during nego-tiations.
"Our goal is to finish the work that we need to finish and we're willing and able to do that," he said.
Republican Sen. Andy Hill, the Senate's main budget writer, said his chamber has said for months that that putting more money into things like educa-tion and mental health could be done without new taxes.
"We feel like we're finally at a point now where we have agree-ment on that," he said. "We should be able to move forward quickly."
Tomasino previously worked as CEO of Whidbey General Hospital for more than five years and as COO before that.
Tomasino turned in his res-ignation at Whidbey in 2014,
effective in October of this year. However, the hospital’s board hired a new CEO, who replaced Tomasino in April, according to a Whidbey News-Times article.
Tomasino is the latest in a number of executives to cycle
out of the administration within the last year.
Bob Campbell will continue to serve as interim CEO for the hospital until a replacement is found. He took over to replace Emergency Interim CEO and
Medical Chief of Staff Dr. Kevin McCurry. McCurry still works as a doctor at the hospital. He filled in as CEO after former CEO Seth Whitmer was fired in mid-March. Whitmer replaced for-mer longtime CEO Ron DeArth.

VOLUNTEERS: Pair of New Officers Expressed Interest in Working in West Lewis County Town
By Natalie Johnson
With only about 640 resi-dents, and a footprint of 3 or 4 square miles, the tiny town of Pe Ell has a similarly small police department.
“It’s a one-man department,” said Pe Ell Marshal Mike Hart-nett.
By late October, Hartnett hopes to have two reserve, vol-unteer police officers to provide extra coverage to Pe Ell when he
isn’t working. Pe Ell Mayor Lonnie Willey
said the city wasn’t looking for a Clint Eastwood, but didn’t want to hire Barney Fife either.
“We don’t want any cowboys,” Willey said.
Hartnett described recruits Nathan Howard, of Boistfort, and Dean Rivers, of Chehalis, as mature and diplomatic, and said they both expressed interest in being reserve officers in Pe Ell before the program existed.
“These are two people who like Pe Ell. They want to work here,” Hartnett said. “I think they’ll be a good fit.”
Willey said both recruits have passed preliminary tests, a poly-graph, psychological evaluation
and drug tests. Howard and Rivers are cur-
rently enrolled in the 2015 Shel-ton Police Reserve Academy, which started June 2. They are set to graduate on October 24.
Willey said each reserve offi-cer signed a contract to volunteer for the city for the next two years.
Having reserve officers could save the city money and improve public safety in Pe Ell, Willey and Hartnett said.
When Hartnett isn’t on duty, the Lewis County Sheriff ’s Of-fice responds to 911 calls origi-nating in Pe Ell.
The city is then charged for a minimum of two hours per deputy who responds, at $65 per hour, as a reimbursement, Willey
said. Last year, Pe Ell paid $7,200
to the Sheriff ’s Office to reim-burse them for responding to 911 calls in the city, about twice what the town budgeted for the expense.
“If we can do it ourselves, we’re obviously going to be mon-ey ahead,” Willey said.
Pe Ell residents had generated 107 calls to police in 2015 as of Thursday, Hartnett said.
“The call volume’s not super high but I think a lot of people have given up calling … for a lack of (police) presence,” Hart-nett said. “We have a drug prob-lem … we have assaults. What everybody else has, we have all that stuff. It would just be nice to
have more presence.”Pe Ell already has a second
patrol car for the reserve officers to share. Hartnett said expenses for equipment should be mini-mal. Howard and Rivers are each paying their own $200 academy fee.
Hartnett plans to supervise the fully-commissioned reserves closely at first, and give them training in addition to what they will receive at the academy.
They’ll each volunteer a min-imum of 16 hours per month and receive no compensation, but could work more if they want.
“Even though it’s small, we’re going to have a professional law enforcement agency,” Harnett said.
Pe Ell to Introduce Reserve Police Officers This Fall
News in Brief
New Ballot Box Installed in Morton By The Chronicle
Morton voters who prefer to drop their ballots into one of the county’s boxes instead of mail-ing them will save some gas be-ginning with the August prima-ry election.
A ballot drop box was in-stalled at the Morton Senior Center this week to collect East Lewis County ballots.
“We’re excited for the local community to have a dropbox in their backdoor,” Lewis County Auditor Larry Grove said.
Voters will be able to use the box starting 20 days before the August primary election. He said one senior at the center during the installment last week noted she is looking forward to not driving to
the Lewis County Courthouse in Chehalis to cast her vote.
After Grove took office as county auditor in January and began the process to get the new dropbox installed, officials learned they were actually re-quired to have a dropbox at an-other location.
The county previously had one dropbox in the courthouse and one at the Twin Cities Senior Center and thought that met state requirements.
The Washington State Sec-retary of State Office informed the county that it had to have two drop boxes at locations other than the elections center.
The box will be open for 24 hours during the 20 days prior to elections and until 8 p.m. on election days.
It will not be open during elections when no East Lewis
County issues are on the ballot.“We’re excited to see the par-
ticipation in the upcoming gen-eral election when it’s a county-wide election in November,” Grove said.
Centralia Driver Dies After June 11 CrashBy The Chronicle
The Washington State Patrol announced Friday that a Cen-tralia man died following a June 11 crash on Interstate 5 near the Nisqually River Bridge.
Louis G. Moore, 81, of Centralia, was driving north-bound on I-5 at 6:04 a.m. at the Nisqually River Bridge when the 1999 Ford Escort he was driving hit the back of a second vehicle, driven by an Olympia man.
Moore later died of his inju-
ries, according to the State Patrol.The crash was caused by
speeding, according to the State Patrol.

By Dameon Pesanti
The Cowlitz River was once a favorite recreation spot for Wolf Bauer, a man many con-sider the father of mountaineer-ing and kayaking in the Pacific Northwest.
Although his efforts to stop the construction of the Mayfield and Mossyrock dams were in vain, the experience was the cat-alyst for his efforts to protect the Green River Gorge and other waterways around the state.
Born in 1912, Bauer was in his 20s when he made the first accent to Ptarmigan Ridge on Mt. Rainier and then began teaching the first generation of American mountaineers the ba-sics of European-style high ele-vation summiting. In the 1940s, Bauer was considered one of the best climbers around when he shifted his gaze from the moun-tains to the rivers.
After World War II, he and several friends brought the sport of foldboating to the Pa-cific Northwest. Designed in the Bavarian region of Germany in the 1920s, foldboats were es-sentially the forefathers of the modern whitewater kayak. They were long, made with a wooden frame wrapped in a rubberized canvas and made to be disas-
sembled and folded into two or three small bags. To build interest in the sport, Bauer taught fold-boating classes at local YMCAs for over 25 years.
With a snorkeling set and belays from climbing friends, Bauer taught himself about river currents at different depths. Later on, he and his mountaineering friends made the first descents in many of the major rivers around Washington. He mapped many of the rivers around the state and applied the now-standard river rating system (class I-V) to every section they encountered. In 1948, he founded the Wash-ington Foldboat Club, which later became the Washington Kayak Club.
Below what are now Riffe and Mayfield lakes in the Cowlitz River Basin were May-field and Dunn canyons. To-gether they made up more than 40 miles of intermediate white-water rapids. The canyons were unique in that while most rivers in Western Washington run on a bed of glacial till, the Cowlitz had dug itself deep into solid bedrock, forming walls 80 feet high in some places.
The Cowlitz River Canyons were rare geographic beauties that were favorites of Bauer’s.
In 1946, the city of Tacoma had started planning to dam the Cowlitz. The project was mired in controversy from the begin-ning. Fishing organizations, both commercial and private, tried to block the construction of the Mayfield and Mossyrock dams, citing the impact they would have on fisheries. But construction went on anyway, officially beginning in 1955.
In “Crags, Eddies & Riprap: The Sound Country Memoir of Wolf Bauer,” written by him and Lynn Hyde, Bauer was de-scribed as “an engineer who liked to play in the mountains” who was concerned about natu-ral resource exploitation.
According to the book, he would later transition into one of the state’s biggest environ-mental advocates, but first, “It required a catalyst to galvanize his thoughts, turn his energies to conservation, and change the direction of his life. That catalyst was Tacoma City Light’s plan in the 1950s to dam the Cowlitz River.”
In 1958, Bauer and the rela-tively small Foldboating Club threw themselves into the mix. He invited Bob and Ira Spring, two renowned photographers, to join him and several others on a trip through the canyons to document the splendor that was within. The Seattle Times ran a full-color Sunday edition about the trip on July 13 of that year.
Some images featured boaters wearing enormous old Army surplus lifejackets while float-ing through large wave-trains beneath abandoned railroad bridges. Other pictures show them camping along the shores and huddled around a campfire. The whole spread ended with one kayaker sitting at what was the start of a Tacoma City Light cofferdam.
It was too late for Bauer to save the Cowlitz, but it galva-nized his resolve to spare other rivers from the same fate.
In the mid-1960s, he focused on the Green River Gorge. He and his wife explored and pho-tographed it, then showed the images in a slideshow to the Washington State Parks Depart-ment. Later on, he penned an ar-ticle for The Seattle Times about the gorge called, “A Ribbon of Wilderness in Our Midst” in which he described the canyon
as a remote and beautiful place within commuting distance of a million people.
Public pressure moved the state to set aside money to buy the surrounding land from a number of stakeholders and thus protect the gorge.
“Recalling the high points in one’s life becomes a grow-ing pleasure with age. There are those that you cherish, and those that others have recognized. Of those I own, the Green River Gorge experience overshadows all the others,” he wrote in his memoir.
Bauer sought to capitalize the success by rolling the mo-mentum into other conserva-tion projects around the state. Troubled by unregulated devel-opment along the state’s water-ways, Bauer drafted the “Natu-ral Shorelines Act” in 1969 as a softer approach to erosion control. The measure didn’t
pass, but the ideas were rolled into into the powerful Shoreline Management Act, which was passed in 1971.
His conservation work in-spired him to shift careers from engineering into an influential shoreline resource consultant and became a founding mem-ber of the Washington Environ-mental Council.
In a 2005 interview for the article “Wolf Bauer, Eighty Years on the Sharp End” in Northwest Mountaineering Journal, Bauer said, “I think my most lasting contribution will be my work in ecology, since I switched from engineering to environmental education.”
The Chronicle tried to get an interview with Bauer, but at 103 years old, time has robbed him of many of his memories and the invitation was politely declined. An acquaintance of his referred the newspaper to
his book and a few of the clubs and organizations he founded. Our pursuits of those people were also mostly fruitless since Bauer has outlived many of his contemporaries.
To the people that knew Bauer, he is a living legend.
As a sidebar to the story about him, the Mountaineering Journal ran a quote from Jim Whittaker, the first American to climb Mount Everest.
“Wolf Bauer has been an in-spiration to me and my brother Lou, a real hero for us. I can't say enough about him. Wolf brought mountaineering from Europe to the Northwest — ski-ing, climbing, mountain rescue — the whole ball of wax… As a mountaineer, you climb on the shoulders of your predecessors. When I stood on the summit of Mount Everest, I was stand-ing on the shoulders of men like Wolf Bauer.”

Editor’s Note: Today’s edi-tion concludes the Journey on the Cowlitz, a two-week trip down the river from the headwaters to the Columbia River. See pre-vious stories — including more historical articles — at cowlitz.seesouthwestwa.com
If today’s Cowlitz River an-glers and recreationists were on the river 100 to about 150 years ago, they may have run into some steamboat and ferry traf-fic from Toledo to Longview.
For decades, riverboats traveled back and forth on the Cowlitz River at Toledo and the Columbia River in Portland transporting goods and passen-gers with regular boat schedules emerging in 1878 and lasting until 1918.
A one-way trip took 24 hours, including stops at river towns between the two hubs.
The changing river with shallow depths in the summer and flooding and sometimes frozen waters in the winter, along with sandbars, trees and snags, made navigating the river a challenge for riverboat cap-tains.
According to Sandra A. Crowell’s “The Land Called Lewis: A History of Lewis County, Washington” the first riverboat to navigate the river
may have been the Beaver, a side-wheeler riverboat said to have floated the Cowlitz for a short time beginning as early as 1836.
In the 1850s, attempts by two steamboat charters to provide service on the Cowlitz granted by the Washington Territorial government were unsuccessful.
According to “The Land Called Lewis,” restrictions and deadlines made it impossible for the boats to provide services.
The first steamer on the Cowlitz, the Bell, traveled the river in the early 1860s. In 1864, the Monticello and Cowlitz Landing Steamboat Company built the “Rescue” in Monticello, a town located at the mouth of the Cowlitz. It was mostly de-stroyed by a flood in 1867.
The Oregon Steam Navi-gation Company launched its steamer, the Express, in direct competition with the Rescue. The Monticello and Cowlitz Landing Steamboat Company sued claiming the Express vio-lated exclusive navigation rights granted by the government.
Courts ruled the rights granted by the Washington Ter-ritorial Legislature were void, and both boats provided trans-portation. The fight to get pas-sengers led to rates as low as 25 cents, Crowell wrote.
The low prices and other competition didn’t keep the companies floating for long.
Residents in Cowlitz Land-ing, located about 1 mile down-stream from modern day To-ledo, organized to form the Cowlitz Steam Navigation Company. When the citizens set their steamer the Rainier out on its maiden voyage, it breached after hitting a snag in the river. Crowell notes that it is unclear if the steamer made more than the occasional trips after that.
It wasn’t until Joseph Kellogg and Company formed and built its steamboat the Toledo, in 1878 that regular service on the river began.
According to Fritz Timmen’s “Blow for the Landing: A Hun-dred Years of Steam Naviga-tion on the Waters of the West,” Kellogg, his brother and two sons that made up the compa-ny headed the navigation just above Cowlitz Landing. Kellogg eventually convinced some set-tlers to move to the area to start a community there. It was called Toledo after the riverboat.
According to a 2012 post by Matthew Roach on the Wash-ington State Library Blog “Be-tween the Lines,” a June 3, 1887 issue of the newspaper the Cowlitz’s Advocate detailed two sameday riverboat incidents in-volving the Toledo.
The first occurred near Cas-tle Rock as the Toledo was com-ing in to make landing. Whit-tle’s ferryboat, which ran on a cable wire, struck the steam-
boat. The two riverboats pushed against one another until Cap-tain Orrin Kellogg detached the cable from the cord, and eventu-ally the ropes from the cable to the ferry separated. The Toledo, which had received minimal damage to the pilot house and whistle pipe, towed the ferry to the landing. It also had minimal damage.
The reporter of the colli-sion boarded the Toledo. A mile down the river, steam began es-caping, first alerting passengers with its hissing and then en-compassing the boat in steam. Apparently the steam escaped from a pipe damaged it the colli-sion with the ferry.
According to the article, the steam caused “a terrible com-motion.”
“Women screamed and fainted; men threw down their cards and rushed out on deck, vowing, if saved, they would do better in the future,” the article says.
The captain assured passen-gers they were not in danger. Af-ter landing and fixing the dam-age, the riverboat continued its journey.
The Toledo was sold to an-other company in 1891 and wrecked on the Yamhill River in Oregon in 1896, according to the blog.
During the height of steam-boat travel on the Cowlitz — the 1870s and 1880s — round trips
from Portland to Toledo were made three times a week. The distance between the two port towns was 62 miles. A round-trip ticket was $2.50 on average.
Many of the steamboats that traveled the Cowlitz were de-signed to float shallower water during the dry season, accord-ing to “The Land Called Lewis.” The boats were typically single or double deck sternwheel-ers 100-135 feet long and 20-30 wide. Some had rooms for over-night travelers.
Along with people, the steamboats moved livestock, food, furniture, building sup-plies, machinery and other goods. People along the way flagged down riverboat captains to pick up supplies along their route.
The last regular steamboat, the Chester, made its final trip in 1918. However, the Oregona made the last steamboat trip on the Cowlitz a month later in April of that year.
While some credit the steamboats decline to the rail-road, Crowell writes that Dr. Wayne Galvin found that rail shipping rates were higher than river rates.
It was the increase in car and truck transport and a vehicle bridge across the Columbia River that had a bigger impact on the riverboats’ ultimate dis-appearance from the Cowlitz River.

The Spokane City Coun-cil has voted to remove Rachel Dolezal, the former Spokane NAACP president, from the city’s volunteer police ombuds-man commission.
The 6-0 vote came Thursday afternoon, KREM-TV reported.
On Wednesday, Mayor David Condon and Spokane Council President Ben Stuckart called for Dolezal and two others to step down from the five-member commission after an indepen-dent investigation found the three commissioners acted im-properly and violated govern-ment rules.
The evidence and interviews confirmed workplace harass-ment allegations and “a pattern of misconduct” by Dolezal, the chairwoman, and two other commissioners, the report said. The council accepted the resig-nation of one of those commis-sioners and voted to give the other more time to respond.
Dolezal, 37, resigned as head of the NAACP’s Spokane chapter this week after her parents said she was a white woman pretend-ing to be black.
In May, the city hired lawyers to investigate whistleblower com-plaints filed by an unidentified city employee who staffed the police commission. The report said Dolezal abused her authority by trying to supervise the Office of Police Ombudsman person-nel and she exhibited bias against law enforcement, despite rules re-quiring fairness and impartiality.

News in Brief
GOLF: State Rep. Richard DeBolt, Chehalis, Among Those Accepting Ticket; Says He Will Make Donation Equal to Value of Tickets
By Melissa Santos
The News Tribune
State lawmakers were told earlier this year they each could accept one free ticket to the U.S. Open without violating legisla-tive ethics rules.
But it turns out lawmakers actually were offered two com-plimentary tickets to the golf championship, and many of the 10 lawmakers attending the tournament are using the second ticket to take a spouse or family member.
Another lawmaker who no longer plans to attend the Open this weekend said he intends to give both his free passes to his brother-in-law.
The majority of lawmakers who accepted free-one day pass-es to the U.S. Open are making a charity donation to offset or match the cost of their compli-mentary tickets. House and Sen-ate lawyers said lawmakers must make such a donation if they plan to accept a second free pass.
Normally, state legislators are prohibited from accepting gifts valued at more than $50. Each one-day pass to the U.S. Open is valued at between $110 and $125, according to legislative staff.
But the state’s Legislative Ethics Board said in April that lawmakers could accept one free ticket to the golf championship, mainly because their time on the golf course would include a three-hour briefing by Pierce County officials that connects to lawmakers’ official legislative duties.
At that time, Pierce Coun-ty – which is hosting the Open at Chambers Bay, the county-owned golf course – didn’t men-tion the possibility of offering a second free ticket to lawmakers. Tickets to the U.S. Open have been sold out for months.
Last month, House and Sen-ate lawyers said legislators could accept a second free pass, but only if they gave a donation of $60 or $75 to the Boys and Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound. Such a donation would cover the difference between the ticket price and the $50 gift limit laid out in state law, according to the lawyers’ advice.
On Thursday, six of the 10 lawmakers planning to attend the U.S. Open confirmed they
intend to use their second com-plimentary ticket to bring a guest.
Five of those – Reps. Eileen Cody, D-Seattle; Richard DeBolt, R-Chehalis; Rep. Sam Hunt, D-Olympia; Melanie Stambaugh, R-Puyallup; and Drew Stokes-bary, R-Auburn – said they are making a donation that equals or surpasses the full cost of their two tickets.
Another lawmaker, Republi-can Sen. Curtis King of Yakima, said he is making two donations of $75 each to the Boys and Girls Clubs to buy down the cost of his and his wife’s tickets.
Guests don’t have to attend the county’s briefings.
“I’m going to be doing that, he gets to watch the Open,” Cody said of her husband. “He’s had to put up with a lot with me being
in the Legislature for 20 years. I figure he deserves it.”
Other lawmakers who plan to attend the U.S. Open using the complimentary tickets said they will make donations or have al-ready done so, but didn’t return a reporter’s calls Thursday to con-firm whether they are using one complimentary ticket or two.
Those lawmakers included Democratic Reps. Jake Fey and Laurie Jinkins of Tacoma.
Sen. Karen Fraser, D-Olym-pia, said last Friday that she hadn’t thought of making a do-nation at that point, but would
happily do so.Two lawmakers who previ-
ously were planning to attend the tournament, Republican Sens. Bruce Dammeier of Puyal-lup and Steve O’Ban of Tacoma, said Thursday that they no lon-ger plan to go.
Dammeier, who provided a receipt last week showing a $220 donation to the Boys and Girls Clubs, said he will use his two complimentary U.S. Open tickets to send his legislative as-sistant and another senator’s leg-islative assistant to the event.
O’Ban, who showed a receipt
reflecting a $250 donation to the Boys and Girls Clubs, said he plans to give his two tickets to his brother-in-law.
Another lawmaker, Demo-cratic Sen. Steve Conway of Ta-coma, said he only plans to use one of the complimentary tickets provided by the county.
Several lawmakers said their primary interest is in witnessing the logistics of putting on such a large event.
“I just want to see how it works," Fraser said. "I don’t ex-pect I'll spend much time watch-ing the golf players play golf.”
Free U.S. Open Tickets Also Going to Lawmakers’ Spouses, Family
As the newsroom ends its ambitious mission to traverse all 105 miles of the Cowlitz River by raft, our collective sense of adventure has given way to awe and appreciation of those we met along the way.
Reporter Dameon Pesanti and Visuals Editor Pete Caster were in many cases at the mercy of local residents, government organizations and businesses as they began the Journey on the Cowlitz two weeks ago at Mount Rainier.
Between launching at La Wis Wis Campground and pulling out of the Columbia River, they
encountered endless offers of as-sistance and unprovoked kind-ness that ultimately allowed us to complete the project.
Whether it was the owner of the Mt. Adams Cafe in Randle offering a free meal and a haul across Riffe Lake on his birthday, or the managers of the Cascade Peaks and Lake Mayfield Resort campgrounds providing a free place to stay for the night, our intrepid but inexperienced trav-elers were met with compassion and consideration.
Likewise, government or-
ganizations such as Mount Rainier National Park, Tacoma Power, USGS and Lewis County PUD stepped up in one way or another to share knowledge or assist in getting us farther downstream.
Those who live in the com-munities that border the Cowlitz River would not be surprised by the genuine friendliness that pervades towns such as Pack-wood, Randle, Mossyrock and Toledo.
We won’t soon forget their contributions, and we look for-ward to further acknowledging the businesses and individuals
who assisted along the way when a special section dedicated to the Journey on the Cowlitz is released next month.
New Taxes Off the Table
Gov. Jay Inslee announced Friday that new taxes appear to be off the table as budget negotiations continue between Republicans in the Senate and Democrats in the House.
That is among the first posi-tive developments in a bloated set of legislative sessions thus far.
According to The Associated Press: “Inslee said that a new
capital gains tax that had been proposed by House Democrats is now off the table, and he said that the middle ground for both sides would involve clos-ing exemptions to address the estimated $300-350 million dif-ference between both chambers’ budgets.”
If proven accurate, it appears to be a genuine compromise on behalf of Democrats. We hope any “closed exemptions” don’t result in businesses being hit with indirect taxation, but the development seems to indicate lawmakers might hit their June 30 deadline.

I see preparations are in the works in case the state govern-ment needs to shut down be-cause some in the Legislature, including the governor, can’t get taxes and spending raised high enough, among other things. And under the “you got to be kidding” category, the prepara-tions include a list of priorities that to me is part of the problem.
Colleges and universities stay open, no problem I guess, deemed to be too important to shut down — in the summer! Really? Maybe no one men-tioned to the governor most students are out of school right now?
On the other hand, the Department of Corrections (a public safety agency that is also one of the main things our gov-ernment is supposed to do) will suffer a partial shutdown and new offenders would remain in county jails.
Community supervision for all in state offenders would cease. Does anyone but me see this as a problem?
Also unaffected are the De-partment of Transportation (I might agree with that one) the Traffic Safety Commission (re-ally? What do they do?) and the Office of Treasurer for reasons I’m sure make perfect sense to someone.
I still believe the added revenue they got is enough and raising taxes, charging for car-bon footprints (I keep looking
but have yet to see one of those) or other silliness they didn’t get done can wait. I don’t want the Senate to cave on that.

Last weekend I was blessed enough to spend some time with a couple of my grandkids. As I watched them, I was reminded how simple things were when I grew up.
And what a confusing world they will have to grow up in.
We played cowboys and In-dians, used sticks for guns, and even pretended to shoot each other — and survived. When the stick ran out of bullets, it became a sword, a very versatile and in-expensive toy. Oh Mom warned us about poking an eye out and stuff like that, but we didn’t.
Boys were boys, girls were girls, and you never had to wor-ry about finding either in the wrong bathroom at school. You just didn’t. But if you did, there was always a teacher nearby and it wouldn’t have ended well. Of course now, you not only might find a boy in the girls bathroom, if you do and complain, you’re somehow the problem. Intoler-ant and all that.
When I did math in school, there was actually a right and wrong answer. I didn’t get high
fives for guessing 2+2=5. Or 3, was pretty darn close. Good job! No, they actually expected me to get it right and when I didn’t there were usually red marks and an unflattering letter grade on the paper too. (I have a lot of experience with unflattering grades). They seemed more con-cerned with me learning some-thing than feeling good about myself for the wrong reason.
As soon as I could, I picked berries, mowed lawns, hauled hay and caught chickens to make some extra money. I think it actually gave me some self es-teem, as well as something use-ful to do. Kids today can’t do any of that — too dangerous — and I haven’t seen anyone pick ber-ries for years like we did. So too often they wander the streets, which apparently is much safer and good for them.
In high school it was com-mon to have a deer rifle hanging in the rack of your pickup. It wasn’t that uncommon to even show it off on occasion to a teacher. Of course today, bring a 2-inch plastic toy soldier to school — automatic suspension. Wear a T-shirt with a soldier holding his rifle on it, or worse, an American flag, and in some places that’s just a bad move. Someone might be offended.
I suppose someday, today will be looked back on fondly as the “good old days.” But right now, it’s sure hard to believe.

In Face of Shutdown, Government Seems to Have Some Odd Priorities
By John McCroskey
COMMENTARY: Musings From the Middle Fork
My dad always told me that 90 percent of success in life is just showing up.
It’s good advice. Turns out the quote is an old one, with versions attrib-uted to Thomas Edison and Woody Allen, but it meant a lot more to me because it came from my dad.
And that’s the point.
Fathers matter. Dads make a difference. Their kids need them. Mothers, mentors, teachers and friends are vital, but no one can ever replace a child’s unique need for his or her dad.
And so, on Father’s Day Eve, let me offer a few words of encouragement for my fellow fathers and the young men who will one day have the opportu-nity to do this thing, and do it well.
You won’t be perfect, but you need to show up and do your best. You’ll get tired. Wrestle with the kids on the carpet any-way. You often won’t quite know what to do, how to respond, what to say. Talk with your wife about it. Be strong, be humble, ask God for guidance, remember that something is much better than nothing.
Show up and be your kid’s dad.
The exhaustion at the end of the day, the end of a life, is noth-ing compared with the satisfac-tion of knowing that you were there and you ran the race.
On this Father’s Day weekend, let’s celebrate the dads who show up and by simple example, teach their kids the right way to live.
The guys who spend time with their families instead of at the bar.
The men who play basketball or board games with the kids instead of spending those hours in front of the television or their phones.
The dudes who plop their kids on their lap and read to them, again and again, for hours, for days, for years.
The dads who change dia-pers.
The men who work and work and can never quite make ends meet, but keep working anyway.
The fellows who come home, exhausted, then go out to play catch. The ones who take a deep breath, calm down, then discipline firmly but with love. The ones who tell kids stories about their grandparents. The ones who coach the soccer team,
who let their daughters decorate them with hair clips and glitter, who are members of the PTA, who teach their kids how to light a campfire, how to handle a pocket knife, how to do right when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.
The ones who respect and support the mothers of their children, who honor their wives.
The men who lead their kids in prayer and sing along at church. Your kids are paying at-tention to this and notice it every time.
The ones who know that awe-some and difficult are two halves of the same wonderful whole.
Families are the building blocks of society. Intact families matter. It’s not always easy to do it right, but the rewards are worth it a thousand times over.
This is important to say, and I’ll try to put it delicately because this is a family newspaper. Guys, don’t practice the act of baby-making until you marry the woman. That’s a radical concept these days, but it’s still the best way.
Respect the woman and show some self-control. Play the long game. Woo her, deserve her, marry her, love her, create a fam-ily with her, then stay married.
You probably won’t pitch a perfect game, but completing the full nine innings is a pretty worthy goal and — unlike per-fection — is an accomplishment available to everyone.
And so here’s to the guys who take seriously their promises and live up to their vows as husbands and their obligations as fathers.
You’re going to have better, you’re going to have worse. Stick it out and enjoy the ride. When you have kids, it’s not about you anymore. You have a job to do. Man up. Be the guy who takes good care of his wife and is the kind of person his kids can proudly aspire to become.
Fatherhood is the job of a lifetime. Do what it takes to be the man your kids need. No other measure of masculinity matters as much as this one.
You are a dad. This Father’s Day, wear that
title with pride. Now get back to work, and
thank God you have the oppor-tunity.

Hawaii Governor Signs Bill Raising Smoking Age to 21
HONOLULU (AP) — Ha-waii’s governor has signed a bill to make his state the first to raise the legal smoking age to 21.
The measure aims to prevent adolescents from smoking, buy-ing or possessing both tradi-tional and electronic cigarettes. Gov. David Ige signed it into law Friday.
Dozens of local governments have similar bans, including Ha-waii County and New York City.
“Raising the minimum age as part of our comprehensive tobacco control efforts will help reduce tobacco use among our youth and increase the likeli-hood that our keiki will grow up tobacco-free,” said Ige, using the Hawaiian word for children.
In Hawaii, 86 percent of adult smokers began smoking before age 21, according to the gover-nor’s office.
Military Contractor’s Virginia Medical License Revoked
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The medical license of a government contractor was revoked Friday after Army medical students testified about a series of bizarre, invasive and sexually tinged battlefield-trauma procedures he subjected them to.
The Virginia Board of Medi-cine acted after a daylong hear-ing involving accusations against Dr. John H. Hagmann, accord-ing to news media reports.
His license had been tempo-rarily suspended in March, with the board citing a substantial danger to the public health or safety.
Army medical students tes-tified that Hagmann subjected them to risky experiments and sexual exploitation. He also was accused of using hallucinogenic drugs and alcohol as part of his battlefield-medicine training courses.
Comcast Founder Ralph Roberts Dies at 95
NEW YORK (AP) — Ralph Roberts, a cable pioneer who built Comcast from a small cable TV system in Mississippi into an entertainment and communi-cations behemoth, has died. He was 95.
Comcast said in a statement that Roberts died Thursday night in Philadelphia of natural causes.
He was in his 40s when he began his career in the fledgling cable industry, with a $500,000 purchase of American Cable Sys-tems, a company with 1,200 sub-scribers in Tupelo, Mississippi. A string of acquisitions followed. Roberts changed the name of the company to Comcast and ran it until he was in his 80s.
Cat Wins Shelter’s Hero Dog Award for Saving Kid From Canine
LOS ANGELES (AP) — For the first time, a Los Angeles shel-ter’s Hero Dog award has gone to a cat.
In May 2014, Tara the cat fought off a dog that attacked her 6-year-old owner as he rode his bicycle in the driveway of the family’s Bakersfield home.
Tara body-slammed Scrap-py, a chow-mix that lived next door, when the dog got out of his yard, ran for Jeremy Trianta-filo, grabbed his leg and started shaking from side-to-side. Tara chased the dog toward its home. It was later euthanized.
Jeremy, who is autistic and had to have eight stitches, calls Scrappy a “bad dog,” said his dad, Roger Triantafilo. About Tara, Jeremy said, “She is my hero.”
“We were so impressed by Tara’s bravery and fast action that the selection committee decided that a cat this spectacular should be the National Hero Dog,” said Madeline Bernstein, president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles.
World in Brief
Putin Criticizes US But Offers to Cooperate on Global Crises
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — Despite the showdown with the West over Ukraine, Moscow wants to cooperate with Washington and its allies in deal-ing with the threat posed by the Is-lamic State group and other global challenges, President Vladimir Putin said Friday as he tried to allay investors’ fears over Russia’s course.
Putin blamed the United States for ignoring Russia’s interests and trying to enforce its will on oth-ers, but he also sent conciliatory signals, saying that Moscow wants a quick settlement to the Iranian nuclear standoff and a peaceful political transition in Syria.
Speaking at a major economic forum, Putin also insisted that Russia wants February’s Ukraine peace agreement to succeed. Fight-ing there will stop, he said, once Ukraine provides broader rights to its eastern regions, gives amnesty to the rebels and calls local elec-tions there.
WikiLeaks Says It’s Leaking Over 500,000 Saudi Documents
ISTANBUL (AP) — WikiLeaks is in the process of publishing more than 500,000 Saudi diplomatic documents to the Internet, the transparency website said Friday, a move that echoes its famous release of U.S. State Department cables in 2010.
WikiLeaks said in a statement that it has already posted roughly 60,000 files. Most of them appear to be in Arabic.
There was no immediate way to verify the authenticity of the documents, although WikiLeaks has a long track record of hosting large-scale leaks of government material. Many of the documents carried green letterhead marked
“Kingdom of Saudi Arabia” or “Ministry of Foreign Affairs.” Some were marked “urgent” or
“classified.” At least one appeared to be from the Saudi Embassy in Washington.
Bahraini Opposition Leader Released After Four Years
MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — A top Bahraini opposition leader was released Friday after more than four years in prison for his role in protests calling for reform in the Gulf kingdom.
The WAAD (National Dem-ocratic Action Society) group confirmed on its official Twitter account that Ibrahim Sharif was released Friday. Sharif was sen-tenced in June 2011 to five years in prison for plotting to overthrow Bahrain’s 200-year-old monarchy.
Sharif was one of 20 promi-nent pro-democracy activists call-ing for political reforms who were convicted by a military-led tribu-nal after the government cracked down on them. He was leading WAAD at the time of his arrest in March 2011.
Prince Harry Ends Decade in UK Army; Now to Target Poachers
(AP) — Prince Harry formally ended his full-time military ser-vice in Britain’s army Friday, wrap-ping up a career in which he quali-fied as an Apache helicopter pilot and completed two tours of duty in Afghanistan.
The move was no surprise — the fifth in line to the British throne had revealed in March that he intended to end his service to take a more vigorous role in his charitable endeavors, particularly those in Africa. The 30-year-old Harry now will spend the summer working with animal conservation groups there, fulfilling what he has called a long-held dream.
Harry will work with the Zoo-logical Society of London and with experts in wildlife protection in Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Botswana, sometimes help-ing rangers respond to reports of poaching attacks on elephants and rhinos, Kensington Palace said.

HOUSTON — A Houston attorney on the National Rifle Association’s board of directors is blaming the deadly Charles-ton church shooting on one of the victims, saying the slain pastor had opposed concealed carry legislation as a state sena-tor that could have saved him and his fellow worshippers.
In an interview Friday with The Associated Press, Charles Cotton confirmed writing that
“innocent people died because of (Clementa Pinckney’s) posi-tion on a political issue.” The post appeared Thursday in an online discussion board about concealed handguns.
Nine people were killed Wednesday night after a 21-year-old gunman opened fire during a Bible study at The Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, where Pinckney was pastor.
Cotton told the AP that he was expressing a personal opin-ion not reflective of the NRA.
He also said he was “stumped” that his comments were still visible because he had deleted them after later deciding they were inappropriate.
Cotton said that Pinckney had voted against a concealed carry measure as a South Car-olina senator, but a search of legislative archives could not immediately find any such measure. And he noted that the South Carolina law that bans guns in places of worship unless specifically allowed was the ex-act opposite of Texas law, which allows guns unless they specifi-cally are prohibited. Cotton, a former police officer in Friend-swood, south of Houston, said he carries a gun into church.
“That’s the thing that’s frus-trating to me: Laws that disarm intended victims,” Cotton told the AP. “How many more is it going to take when people real-ize there is no such thing as a gun-free zone?”
Mass shootings are “rare in the grand scheme of things,” Cotton said. But “almost every
one of them (the mass shoot-ings) happen in a supposed gun-free zone, like a church, a school, or a military base like Fort Hood,” he said, referring to the U.S. Army base in central Tex-as that has been the site of two mass shootings in recent years.
Larry Martin, the Republi-can chairman of the South Car-olina Senate Judiciary Commit-tee, called Cotton’s comments
“outrageous.” He said South Carolina’s concealed carry law allows permit holders to carry a gun in church if the church has given authorization.
But the law has never al-lowed permit holders to bring a gun into a church without such permission, he said. The origi-nal law, passed in 1996, predates Pinckney’s tenure.
Last year, Martin’s commit-tee rejected a so-called “consti-tutional carry” bill that would have allowed people to carry guns in public without a permit. But Pinckney was not on that committee and therefore took no vote on it.
School District Bans Indian Team Logos By Dana Ferguson
The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. — Sports fans may have to leave their Blackhawks, Indians or Red-skins gear at home if they plan on entering a Madison public school next year.
Starting this fall, public school students in Wisconsin’s capital city cannot wear shirts, hats or other items that display the name, logo or mascot of any team that portrays a “negative stereotype” of American Indians. Those who do must change or face suspension or expulsion.
“The existence of these mas-cots destroys our self-esteem. The existence of these mascots shows us how people really think of us,” Gabriel Saiz, a junior at Madison West High, told the city school board in May shortly before it voted unanimously to adopt the policy.
The district’s dress code says a list of prohibited logos and mascots would be made avail-able before the beginning of the school year.
The move comes some two years after Gov. Scott Walker signed a law that made it harder for the state’s public schools to drop tribal nicknames. The mea-sure was prompted by officials in a handful of Wisconsin cities who refused to part with mas-cots such as the Chieftains and the Indians after the state De-
partment of Public instruction ordered them to drop the moni-kers. Previous state law allowed the state agency to launch a hear-ing into each race-based nick-name with a single complaint. Current law requires a petition to trigger the hearing.
Larry Dupuis, legal direc-tor for American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin, said he was not pleased with the Madison school district’s move. He said it limits students’ free speech and seems counterproductive by sti-fling conversation about Ameri-can Indian portrayals.
“This kind of Band-Aid doesn’t fix these sorts of under-lying problems,” Dupuis said.
“What a horrible thing to tell kids that we can’t discuss these ideas, that we should avert our eyes to this.”
Brian Howard, a spokesman for the National Congress of American Indians, welcomed the ban, which he said was the first he’d heard of in a public school. He said a private school, Sandy Spring Friends School in Mary-
land, approved a much more limited ban in February against only the word “Redskins,” the mascot of the Washington, D.C. NFL team. The school doesn’t re-quire uniforms.
“If people are asked to turn their shirts inside out, that’s go-ing to get people talking,” How-ard said. “They’re going to ask, ‘Why?’ They’re always going to inquire about it.”
Republican State Rep. Andre Jacque said that not all Ameri-can Indians reject the mascots. He pointed to Mishicot, a village in his district where local tribe spokesmen have approved of the public school district’s mascot — the Indian.
“Native American mascots have served as a point of pride for Native American students and fans,” Jacque said.
Thirty-one Wisconsin high schools use Indian mascots and logos, said Barbara Munson, an Oneida Indian who chairs the Wisconsin Indian Education Association’s mascots and logos task force
“The existence of these mascots destroys our self-esteem. The existence of these mascots
shows us how people really think of us.”

News in Brief
Oyster Processing Company Pleads Guilty to Violation
SEATTLE (AP) — A Willapa Bay oyster processing company and its president pleaded guilty in federal court to violating the Clean Water Act.
U.S. Attorney Annette Hayes says Wiegardt Brothers and owner Frederic Wiegardt agree on Friday to pay a $175,000 fine for discharging effluent into Willapa Bay for two years.
Hayes says the president of the company knew that they were not performing the monthly ef-fluent sampling that their permit required. They penalty consists of a $100,000 fine and a $75,000 community service payment. Wiegardt must also complete 75 hours of community service.
Former Shell Worker Cites Unsafe Conditions on Oil Ship
SEATTLE (AP) — A woman who was permanently injured while working on one of Shell’s Arctic drilling support ships has sued, saying the company com-promised safety in its rush to drill for oil.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. Dis-trict Court in Seattle on Thurs-day by Anita Hanks said Shell and its contractor maintained dangerous work conditions on the Arctic Challenger as it pre-pared to drill in the Arctic in 2012. The oil spill containment vessel is part of Shell’s drilling fleet. It was docked in Belling-ham at the time of an accident.
Shell spokesman Curtis Smith declined to comment, say-ing “we don’t comment on pend-ing or ongoing litigation.”
Shell’s Arctic drilling plans have been the target of protests by environmental groups, Native American tribes and others .
By The Chronicle
The Chehalis Police Depart-ment announced Friday that veteran officer Rick Silva died of complications from surgery aimed at addressing an injury he sustained while on duty in Feb-ruary.
Silva started his law enforce-ment career in 1988 at the Lewis County Sheriff ’s Office. He start-ed working at the Chehalis Police Department in 2002. He worked as a field training officer, emer-gency vehicle driving instructor and detective.
“Officer Silva died after com-plications in surgery, yesterday, June 18, just one day prior to his 13th year service anniversary with our police department,” a press release stated. “Officer Silva was responding to a theft in progress this past February at a Chehalis retail store when the suspect, who had been conceal-ing a knife, resisted arrest, caus-ing more damage to a previous hip injury he acquired while on duty. Because of this, the injury intensified, triggering the need for surgery.”
The surgery resulted in com-plications that led to his death.
The department, along with other law enforcement agencies and aid organizations, honored Silva as it would any officer who dies in the line of duty, escorting him with a motorcade to a funer-al home Friday.
“Officer Silva was beloved not just by his family, fellow officers and co-workers, but also by the many many people in our com-munity whose lives he touched,” a Facebook post from the de-partment reads. “Officer Silva’s passing leaves us all without his infectious smile, his playful sense of humor, his passion for justice, and his generosity, as he was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Our lives have been enriched just through the joy of knowing him.”
Community members can donate money to Silva’s family at Security State Bank locations.
The Lewis County Fallen He-roes Board of Directors’ mission is to assist the family of any fall-en law enforcement or emergen-cy services worker in the county, said Debbie Campbell, executive director of United Way of Lewis County.
United Way, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, handles the donations. All of the donations will be given to Silva’s family. Checks should be made out to United Way of Lew-is County with “In Memory of Officer Silva” in the memo line.
Details on funeral services will be released next week, ac-cording to the press release.

3 Minor Leaguers Suspended for Drug Violations NEW YORK (AP) — Kansas City out-fielder Mike Bianucci, Seattle right-hand-er Edwin Martinez and Texas left-hander Chad James were suspended Friday for violating baseball’s minor league drug program. Bianucci received an 80-game pen-alty, and Martinez was suspended for 72 games. James was banned for 25 games. Bianucci had a positive test for Growth
Hormone Releasing Peptide 2 and metab-
olite, the commissioner’s office said, and
Martinez for metabolites of Stanozolol.
The 19-year-old Martinez has a 4.05
ERA in three appearances for the Do-

OPEN POSITIONS: Hiring Process Underway for New Bearcat Boys, Girls Basketball Coaches
By Aaron VanTuyl
The Bearcats are in the mar-ket for a pair of new basketball coaches.
W.F. West High School girls basketball coach Henri Weeks turned in his letter of resigna-tion in late May, and W.F. West boys coach Ryan Robertson fol-lowed suit last Monday, mean-
ing every basketball game on the hardwood in the Mint City this winter will have a new face on the home bench.
Robertson and Weeks each took over their respective pro-grams 13 years ago, and will both continue teaching at W.F. West High School.
“That’s a lot of coaching years out of both of those guys,” W.F. West athletic director Jeff John-son said. “It’s going to be tough, but we wish them well. It’s going to be a little different feel in that gym.”
Johnson said interviews for the girls basketball job will start
on Monday. About a dozen ap-plications were in as of Thursday, and about eight interviews have been scheduled, he said, and the goal is to have a decision made by the end of the week.
The boys job opened later and will be filled later, though Johnson added that he would like for both of the new coaches to have an opportunity to work with their teams prior to the state-regulated Aug. 1 summer cutoff.
“We’re going to move right along to that. The downfall, is

UPDATE: W.F. West Alum John Mason’s New Design Offers a Fierce, Closer-to-Reality Bearcat
By Aaron VanTuyl
The Bearcat has been given a makeover.
W.F. West High School has a new official mascot logo, the highlight of a rebranding ef-fort spearheaded by a Bearcat alum and worked to fruition by school administration and stu-dent leadership.
The new logo, developed by 1975 W.F. West graduate and professional design artist John Mason, looks less like a cougar or puma and represents a more
accurate depiction of an actual
bearcat.
“Obviously, when you first
look at it, it’s very different than
what we’ve had,” W.F. West as-
sistant principal Tom Elder said.
“It takes a few minutes to look at it and then appreciate what it is. It represents kind of the fierce, hardworking nature of W.F. West. As people kind of look at it, they said it’s neat; it’s edgy; it’s new.”
The logo, and an accompa-nying crest, was approved by the Chehalis School District’s Board of Directors at its June 9 meeting. The logo will soon appear on W.F. West t-shirts, and will be added to the high school’s basketball court, which will be refinished over the sum-mer. It will also appear on the new scoreboard at Bearcat Sta-dium, which will be added this summer.

Twin Cities’ Cox Tourney UnderwayBy The Chronicle
The pool play portion of the Brian Cox Memorial/Titus Will Tournament started and ended Friday in Centralia and Chehalis, with bracket play slated to begin this morning.
The 12-team tournament was broken into four three-team pools, with two separate round-robin tournaments, featuring three teams each, in Centralia and Chehalis.
Centralia host Titus Will went 2-0 on Friday, beating Black Hills 2-1 in its opener and edg-ing North Kitsap, 8-7, in the Hub City nightcap. Centralia will take on Rightline, out of Longview, today at 3 p.m. at Ed Wheeler Field.
Chehalis host Sobe-Toyota went 1-1 and wound up in a three-way tie in its pool, finish-ing second via a runs-allowed tiebreaker. Chehalis will take on Hilander Dental, out of Longview, at 3 p.m. today at Bearcat Baseball Stadium.
The wood-bat tournament is a fundraiser for the Brian Cox Memorial Scholarship, set up in memory of the three-sport standout 2007 W.F. West High School graduate. All proceeds from the tournament benefit the scholarship fund.
Klahowya 2, Sobe-Toyota, 2-1
Klahowya was able to limit Sobe-Toyota to four hits en route to a 2-1 victory in the afternoon round of the Brian Cox Memo-rial/Titus Will Tournament Fri-day at Bearcat Baseball Stadium in Chehalis. The Mint City boys got on board in the first inning on a Kolby Steen RBI but posted zeroes the rest of the way.
“It was a very well-played game,” Sobe-Toyota coach Bryan Bullock said. “They just found some open holes and things just kind of trickled their way.”
Klahowya scored two runs in the sixth to pull ahead.
Sobe-Toyota’s Jacob Cleary went 2 for 3 while Dillon Smith went five innings on the mound.

NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez homered for his 3,000th career hit and smiled all the way around the bases Fri-day night, the highlight so far in what’s become a resurgent sea-son for the formerly disgraced slugger.
The New York Yankees star wasted no time, connecting in the first inning on a first-pitch, 95 mph fastball from Detroit ace Justin Verlander.
Out of baseball last year while serving a drug suspension, Ro-driguez became the 29th player in major league history to reach 3,000 hits. He was the first to do it since Yankees great Derek Jeter homered from the very same batter’s box in 2011.
“It’s a magical number,” Ro-driguez said after the final out of New York’s 7-2 victory. “I’m very happy to be in the club.”
With the crowd at Yankee Stadium standing in anticipa-
tion, Rodriguez sent a high drive to right field. He held onto the bat as he took a few steps toward first base, and outfielder J.D. Martinez bumped into the wall as he backed up. Fans roared as the ball sailed a half-dozen rows into the seats. Retrieving the souvenir ball might be harder for Rodriguez than hitting it. In the late innings, Yankees spokesman Jason Zillo said a “professional home run catcher” wound up with the prize and “he is not in-tending to give it to us.”
Rodriguez pointed to the crowd a couple of times and blew a kiss to someone behind the backstop after crossing the plate. He was greeted by Mark Teixeira and other teammates between the plate and the dugout, and got a big hug from manager Joe Gi-rardi.
The only other players to hit a homer for No. 3,000 were Jeter and Wade Boggs.

there’s no teaching jobs to go with it now,” John-son said. “Both of those guys are two of our better teachers in the building.”
WEEKS’ 13-year tenure leading the Lady Bearcats was capped off with five straight state tournament appearances, including championship-game ap-pearances the last three years and the State 2A title in 2014.
W.F. West won the last four Evergreen 2A Confer-ence championships and, coincidentally, boasted four straight Evergreen 2A Conference MVPs in Riah Thomas (2012), Jamika Parker (2013), Nike Mc-Clure (2014) and Julie Spencer (2015).
“It was 13 years of building that into his vi-sion of what he wanted to do,” Johnson said.
Weeks, who teaches biochemistry and molecu-lar genetics at W.F. West, also developed the Bearcat youth girls basketball pro-gram and, while teaching at his alma mater, Centra-lia, in the 1990s, started BioTech Day. The event, which celebrated its 18th year in April, typically brings upwards of 200 students from a few dozen schools to either Centralia or W.F. West high school for a day of work in the growing field of biotech-nology.
ROBERTSON led W.F. West to the state tour-nament three straight years, from 2006 to 2008, highlighted by an eighth-place finish in 2008. The Bearcats won the Ever-green 2A Conference championship in 2013, but an inexperienced squad went 0-21 in the 2014-15 season.
“It’s just time,” Rob-ertson said. “I don’t have any other words for it. It just felt like it was time for somebody else to come and take this job.”
After graduating col-lege in 1983, Robertson coached the Tenino girls basketball team for two seasons, served as an as-sistant coach at Tonas-ket for a year, coached at Northport for three years, coached at Port Townsend for five years (making three trips to state), and coached at Eastmost for six years before heading to Chehalis. In the one season over that span he wasn’t coaching, he was a referee.
“I am looking forward to Christmas break, and Thanksgiving,” he said,
“and possibly, in June, go-ing on a family vacation somewhere.”
He will be on the side-lines in the upcoming school year; he plans to coach his daughter’s sev-enth-grade team.
“I have a lot of fun coaching them,” he said.
“She’s only doing this for so long.”
The people and kids he worked with over the years, he said, were a defi-nite highlight.
“I always really enjoyed the competitive part of it — that rivalry, the com-petitiveness, and respect for the coaches. That was always enjoyable,” he said.
“I loved the big games, the rivalry games, playing against Centralia in the packed gym. It’s always fun. You don’t usually have to motivate, and the kids bring their best.”
Robertson, 55, didn’t rule out coaching at the high school level again in the future.
“I still feel like I have a lot of coaching left in me,” he said. “The tank isn’t empty.”

“He used to tease me all the time, and say ‘Son, what the hell is a bearcat?’” Mason said. “He said ‘I’ve never seen one. They don’t exist.’ Probably, like a lot of people, they’d never seen one, and I used to argue with him about it.”
The high school gave Mason a scholarship upon graduation that he used to attend the Uni-versity of Washington, where he earned his graphic design degree, which led to a 35-year career and a partnership in an international design firm.
“I’m sort of in that reflective state of my life,” he joked. “I thought about what my dad said to me, and that was the inspi-ration for that. I said, ‘I’ll give them a real bearcat.’”
He started imagining the new mascot, and when he’d fin-ished the design he sent it to W.F. West principal Bob Walters.
“The inspiration for the mas-cot was to give them something real, not a bobcat or a cougar or any of the other cats that in-spired the old logos back from
1912,” he said. “I wanted it to be fierce. I wanted it to look you right in the eye and say, ‘You come to W.F. West, bad things are going to happen to you.’ It engages you; it looks you in the eye and it’s very menacing, by purpose.”
That was about a year and a half ago. Since then, the proj-ect has turned into a complete
rebranding package, complete with a 95-page branding manual, including uniform designs and logo work, a unique, copyright-able font and the redesigned school crest.
“I’m hoping the kids under-stand that now they’ve got a new brand,” he said. “They’ve got to protect it, and keep it their own.”
ALONG WITH the new mascot logo, the school has adopted a crest, which will adorn year-books and podiums for official school events and serve as the official seal of W.F. West.
The W.F. West ASB offi-cers are also working with Ma-son to create a Bearcat pride line, which will be set up along the wall of the hallway leading into the gymnasium and will showcase framed representa-tions, with dates, of each of the school’s previous incarnations of the Bearcat mascot.
As part of the project, the ASB officers got a chance to look through the history of their high school, which adopted the Bearcat mascot when it was in was renamed from Chehalis High School in 1951.
The most recent logo was first seen in annuals in 1983. In 1996 Aaron Trotter, a student at the time, hand-drew and tweaked the logo into the most recent incarnation.
“He really kind of brought that thing to life. Credit him with kind of the evolution of that Bearcat,” Elder said. “Now we have another (former stu-dent) coming back and giving a little more.”
The new W.F. West High School Bearcat mascot is shown here on the high school’s
new crest, both of which were deisgned by W.F. West alum John Mason and ap-
proved by the Chehalis School District’s Board of Directors on June 9.

Sobe-Toyota 6, RBI Baseball 1
Tysen Paul pitched an ef-ficient six innings to lead Sobe-Toyota to a 6-1 win over RBI Baseball in both teams’ pool-play opener Friday at Stan Hed-wall Park in Chehalis.
Paul struck out seven, walked four and gave up just two hits to record the win on the mound.
Chehalis’ offense backed its pitcher up quickly, scoring three runs in the first inning with an RBI single from Kolby Steen, an RBI by Wyatt Stanley, a walk, a hit batter and an error.
The tournament hosts then added two runs in the third in-ning, on singles from Steen and Tyler Pallas and a two-run single by Jacob Cleary. Hunter Fuchs drove in the final run in the sixth inning with a bunt single.
Timmy Allen’s fourth-in-ning RBI single plated the lone run for RBI, while catcher Sam Fagerness added a double.
Note: RBI Baseball beat Kla-howya, 1-0, on Friday afternoon, and will face Rochester in brack-et play at 10 a.m. this morning at Bearcat Baseball Stadium.
LC Silver 11, Rochester 2
A few too many free bases hurt Rochester in an 11-2 loss to LC Silver in its pool-play opener Friday morning in the Brian Cox Memorial/Titus Will Tour-nament.
Brock Hawes’ sixth-inning double highlighted Rochester’s five hits, though the 12 free bas-es issued to LC Silver helped the Longview squad make the most of its five hits.
“It’s really just one of those days where our pitchers strug-gled to throw strikes,” Rochester coach Brad Quarnstrom said.
“We didn’t do a great job putting the ball in play. We struck out a few times.”
Olympia 8, Rochester 0
Olympia’s pitchers held Rochester to four hits in an 8-0 pool play win Friday in the Brian Cox Memorial/Titus Will Tournament.
Keegan Goldrick knocked a base hit in his first at-bat, and Brandon Rogers added a single in the third inning.
Rochester committed just one error in the seven-inning contest.
“This summer, as a whole, our nemesis has been defense,” Rochester coach Brad Quarn-strom said. “Defensively, we played much better today. The plays we should make we made, and we just couldn’t seem to get anything going offensively.”
Rochester will take on RBI Baseball at 10 a.m. today in bracket play at Bearcat Baseball Stadium in Chehalis.
LC Black 4, Tenino 0
The Trappers fell to LC Black in their first game of the Brian Cox Memorial/Titus Will Tour-nament as Tenino was limited to three hits — all by Spencer Brewer — in a 4-0 loss to its Longview opponent. Brewer also added two stolen bases to his statline.
Thomas Pier, meanwhile, went the distance on the mound for the Trappers, giving up five hits.
“Spencer led us offensively and had a good day at the plate,” Tenino coach Conner Hogue said. “Thomas threw really well and our defense played well be-hind him. They just had a few more timely hits and we had op-portunities with guys on base,
but things didn’t happen.”
Tenino 1, Capital 0
Tenino picked up its first vic-tory of the summer season by a 1-0 margin on Friday, defeating Capital — and former Tenino coach Jesse Elam — in the Brian Cox Memorial/Titus Will Tour-nament at Ed Wheeler Field.
Kaleb Strawn went the dis-tance for Tenino in its afternoon game, striking out 12 while holding Capital to three hits.
Tenino managed just two hits, but catcher Miles Cannon drove in the game’s lone run in the second inning.
“Kaleb threw strikes and challenged hitters,” Tenino coach Conner Hogue said. “It was nice to get Kaleb a run early, and Capital had some oppor-tunities later but he shut them down.”
The Trappers had been hav-ing defensive struggles this sum-mer, Hogue pointed out, but played error-free ball against Capital.
“You can really see the im-provement from the younger kids and how they’re approach-ing the game,” he said.
Tenino (1-7) plays North Kit-sap today at Ed Wheeler Field in Centralia in tournament bracket play at 12:30 p.m.

BUDDIES BY THE BAY: Ryder Cup Teammates Leading U.S. Open Field
UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. (AP) — Unbeaten as Ryder Cup teammates, Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth now chase a U.S. Open title this weekend at Chambers Bay.
Spieth overcame a double bogey on an 18th hole that he called “the dumbest he has ever played” for a 3-under 67. Reed made only two pars over his final 12 holes, a wild ride that resembled putts on these heavily sloped greens, and had to settle for a 69.
They were tied for the lead on a day that included Jason Day collapsing to the ground because of vertigo, Tiger Woods post-ing the highest 36-hole score of his pro career and Rory McIlroy making everything from eagle to double bogey on a course that gave him nothing more than two more days to figure it out.
Dustin Johnson was in the mix for the longest time until making three bogeys over his last five holes for a 71. Johnson was one shot behind, along with Branden Grace of South Africa, who matched Spieth with a 67.
Sixteen players remained un-der par. Spieth is the only one with experience winning a major.
And it’s clear he’s not just sat-isfied with one.
The 21-year-old Texan surged into the lead with birdies, calmed himself after a double bogey at the turn, and then tended to Day on the par-3 ninth hole when the Australian crashed to the ground in a frightening moment. Day later was diagnosed with vertigo. Helped to his feet, he managed to finish the hole and shot 70 to wind up three shots behind. He was hopeful of playing Saturday.
Spieth also gathered himself and closed with a birdie to be the first one to reach 5-under 135.
Not since Woods in 2002 has anyone won the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year. Spieth still has a long way to go, and he realizes it will only get harder on a course that already is perplex-ing.
Reed has heard about the adage that par is always a good score at the U.S. Open. He opted for three birdies, an eagle and five bogeys over the final three hours, at times going from the lead to trailing but always in the mix.
Reed and Spieth were rookie teammates at Gleneagles last September, going 2-0-1 in their partnership, a rare bright spot in another American loss. That’s history. Now they’re chasing it individually, with loads of com-pany.
Tony Finau, the powerful PGA Tour rookie making his major championship debut, let it rip on his way to a 68. He was in
the group at 3-under 137 that in-cluded Joost Luiten of The Neth-erlands (69), Daniel Summerhays (67) and Ben Martin (70).
Woods, again, was never in the picture — not the tourna-ment, not on television. Fox rarely showed him, except for a few shots, including the opening hole when Woods was so far left up a dune that he slipped and fell while trying to size up the shot. He had a 76 and missed the cut for the second time in the last three majors.
His 36-hole total was 156, one worse than the 155 he had at the Phoenix Open. He has one more tournament, The Green-brier Classic in two weeks, before going to St. Andrews for the Brit-ish Open.
“Obviously, I need to get a little better for the British Open, and I’ll keep working at it,” Woods said.
Spieth can lean on his experi-ence as a Masters champion, but this major is nothing like Au-gusta National. For starters, he had a five-shot lead going into the weekend at the Masters. And he is on a golf course where the greens are getting plenty of at-tention for being bumpy and dif-ficult to make putts.
“It’s playing different,” Spieth said. “And I’m in a very different position. I’m not going to have a five-shot lead. So given it’s a U.S. Open, I imagine they’re going to try to bring us back to par. ... So
I’ll draw some on Augusta, but at the same time, my patience level has to be even that much higher.”
His patience was tested, espe-cially on the 18th. The tees were moved forward, making it play 514 yards. Some players who had been at Chambers Bay for the U.S. Amateur were concerned
about the USGA using a forward tee and changing it to a par 4 in the middle of the U.S. Open because of an awkward landing area.
Spieth tried to go left and found a bunker. Then he tried to take enough club to get past the 10-foot deep bunker that was added only recently, caught the top of the lip and stayed in the rough.
“This is the dumbest hole I’ve ever played in my life,” he said before hitting a 4-iron toward the green. That found a bunker and he made double bogey. And then he pulled his tee shot to the left on the par-5 first hole (which was a par 4 on Thursday). His
caddie, Michael Greller, helped calm him down.
“I was really frustrated walk-ing off the tee box, and Michael did a great job coming in and telling me, ‘Sit back, you’re still very much in this tournament, don’t let this get to you,’” Spieth said.
He made birdie to steady himself and finished with a bird-ie.
But the real test awaits.“At Augusta, I was finding
fairways, hitting it on the green and I was making everything,” he said. “That would be nice here if I could do that, but it’s a harder golf course than the Masters played this year.”

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. (AP) — Jason Day was overcome by dizziness and col-lapsed on his final hole at the U.S. Open on Friday, raising doubt about whether he will be able to continue this weekend.
Day, who has dealt with vertigo in the past, was 3 un-der for the championship when he was approaching his ball in the greenside bunker on the ninth hole, his last of the second round.
Suddenly, Day fell over to his left, attempting to brace his fall with his hands. His head bounced off the hard ground and Day lay nearly motionless for several minutes.
“I was walking with him, the next thing I know, I turned around and I think he got dizzy and slipped and fell,” said Jor-dan Spieth, his playing partner.
“So at that point, how can we help him out and kind of clear the scene and try to keep the cameras off.”
Day remained flat on his back while medical staff tended
to him. He finally got up with their
help, still a bit shaky on his feet, and chose to finish off his round.
The popular Australian climbed gingerly into the green-side bunker, where his hands were visibly shaking. Day then splashed out of the sand as the gallery cheered, two-putting for bogey to finish at 2 under, at the time three shots off the lead.
“He seemed chirpy, buoyant all day,” said Day’s other play-ing partner, Justin Rose. “That was out of the blue, for sure.”
Day was helped onto a cart and driven to the scorer’s tent to make his round official, then helped into a waiting van. Day is staying on the property in a large motorhome.
“Jason was diagnosed to have suffered from Benign Positional Vertigo,” his agent, Bud Martin, said in a statement. “He was treated locally by Dr. Robert Stoecker and Dr. Charles Sou-liere and is resting comfortably. His condition is being moni-
tored closely and he is hopeful he will be able to compete this weekend in the final rounds of the U.S. Open.”
Day’s caddie, Colin Swat-ton, said that it was similar to an episode that Day had at last year’s World Golf Champion-ship event at Firestone in Ohio. Day had completed two holes on Sunday when he had to withdraw because of dizziness.
Day, who won the Farm-ers Insurance Open earlier this year, went through a procedure that was supposed to help with the vertigo, but issues with his equilibrium have continued. Day was forced to withdraw from the Byron Nelson last month after getting dizzy dur-ing the pro-am.
“I know he didn’t play in Dal-las this year because of vertigo,” said Tiger Woods, who was playing in the group just behind Day on Friday. “I played with him at the Memorial and talk-ed to him in depth, they did a blood panel and all of that stuff. I hope he’s OK.”
Day is the second player to be hospitalized during the U.S. Open.
Gary Woodland was taken to Tacoma General Hospi-tal after he shot 4-over 74 in the opening round Thursday. Woodland was treated with IV fluids and diagnosed with de-hydration and a virus, but re-
turned to the course and played his second round Friday.
Fortunately for Day, he was on the final hole when he col-lapsed, allowing medical staff to reach him quickly.
Chambers Bay is blanketed by massive dunes and rugged terrain, and with the huge gal-leries it is difficult to get around.

SEATTLE — Roenis Elias settled down after a first-pitch home run, allowing four hits over seven-plus innings, and Mark Trumbo drove in three runs to pace the Seattle Mariners to a 5-2 victory over Houston on Friday night, ending the Astros’ five-game winning streak.
Elias (4-4), who had lost three of his previous four starts, gave up two runs — solo homers on his first and last pitches. He matched his career high with 10 strikeouts without a walk, but hit two batters.
Mark Lowe finished the eighth and Carson Smith pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save in five chances.
Robinson Cano, who was a late scratch Thursday night with a stiff lower back, had three hits and reached on an error for the Mariners, while Nelson Cruz reached four times on two sin-gles and two walks.
George Springer staked the Astros to a 1-0 lead, lining the first pitch over the wall in left field wall for his 11th home run, extending his hitting streak to a career-high 12 games.
The Mariners answered with two unearned runs in the bot-tom half, then added one in the third and two in the fifth, all charged to starter Lance McCull-ers (3-2) who allowed six hits and walked three in 4 1-3 innings.
Marwin Gonzalez opened the eighth with his fourth homer for the Astros’ other run.
Seattle loaded the bases in the
first on Logan Morrison’s oppo-site-field bloop single, a walk to Austin Jackson and an error by second baseman Gonzalez on Cano’s bouncer.
Cruz then walked to force in a run and an RBI groundout by Trumbo, who had only one RBI in his first 12 games with Seattle.
The Mariners increased the lead to 3-1 in the third on singles by Cano, Cruz and Trumbo.
Seattle pushed across two
more runs in the fifth on an RBI-single by Kyle Seager and anoth-er RBI groundout by Trumbo.
UP NEXT
ASTROS: LHP Dallas Keuchel (8-2, 2.04 ERA) has gone at least six innings in 25 consecutive starts, the longest active streak in the majors. He has not faced the Mariners this season, but was 3-1 with a 2.17 ERA and 25 strike-
outs in four starts against them last year.
MARINERS: RHP Taijuan Walker (4-6, 5.00 ERA) is 3-1 with a 1.55 ERA in his last four starts. He has walked only four in 29 innings in those four starts, after walking four in each start before his recent improved stretch.
TRAINER’S ROOM
ASTROS: OF Jake Marisnick was placed on the 15-day DL with a left hamstring strain and OF Colby Rasmus was activat-ed off the bereavement list. 2B Jose Altuve missed his second straight game with a sore right hamstring. “He’s day to day and today’s not the day,” Astros man-ager A.J. Hinch said before the game.
MARINERS: RHP Hisashi Iwa-kuma, on the 15-day DL with a strained back muscle, is sched-uled to make a three- to four-inning rehab start for Class A Everett on Saturday. “Three, four, we’ll see how it goes. 45 to 50 pitches,” Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. “If all goes well, I would anticipate him going to (Triple-A) Tacoma his next start.”
UPON FURTHER REVIEW
Seattle successfully chal-lenged a first-inning call when Morrison was picked off first base following a leadoff single. The call by first base umpire Tripp Gibson III was overturned after a review estimated at 1:50.

The News & Observer (MCT)
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — North Carolina coach Roy Williams has received a con-tract extension that could keep him as the Tar Heels’ coach through the 2019-2020 season, the university an-nounced Friday.
Before the extension, Williams’ contract had been due to expire in 2018. If he coaches through the dura-tion of his new deal, Wil-liams, who has said for years that he wants to coach six to 10 more seasons, would be 69 at the end of the 2019-20 season.
The announcement of Williams’ extension comes at a difficult time for the UNC athletic department, which recently received from the NCAA a Notice of Allega-tions after an investigation into a long-running scheme of bogus African Studies paper classes that dispropor-tionately benefited athletes.
The NCAA alleged UNC committed five major vio-lations, including allowing athletes extra benefits associ-ated with those courses, and a lack of institutional control. Neither Williams nor any member of his staff was al-leged to have committed any violations.
UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham said in a statement that UNC was
“fortunate” to have Williams as its head basketball coach, and he said the university was “proud” to extend his contract.
“His results on the court over 27 years as a head coach are among the most accom-plished in the history of the sport, but his love for the University of North Caro-lina and the way he cares for his students are truly un-matched,” Cunningham said.
“Roy is a man of character and integrity and I have great respect for the way he leads our basketball program.”
Williams will be paid a base salary of $408,169 next season and that will increase to a base salary of $595,409 during the final season of the contract. His additional compensation will range be-tween $1.55 million next year to $1.75 million during the final year of his deal.
The contract extension also revised the performance bonuses Williams would receive. He would receive $75,000 if his team receives an APR of 975 or higher, and he’d receive a bonus of $250,000 for leading the Tar Heels to a national champi-onship.
“I’ve said I want to coach another six to 10 years, so this contract takes me right to the edge of that, which is good,” Williams said in a statement. “I appreciate the confidence Chancellor (Car-ol) Folt and Bubba Cunning-ham have in my leadership of the basketball program.
“They’ve demonstrated that with this contract exten-sion, and with their support over the past several years, which have been a challenge for all who love Carolina as I do. I thank them on behalf of our basketball program and me personally.”
Contract Details
Roy Williams’ extension through 2020 includes these performance bonuses:
• $75,000 for APR score of 975 or higher.
• $250,000 for winning NCAA title.
• $200,000 for reaching Final Four.
• $200,000 for reaching Elite 8.
• $150,000 for reaching Sweet 16.
• $100,000 for making second round.
• $25,000 for making NCAA Tournament.

North Carolina Extends Williams’ Contract Through 2019-20 Season
By Robert Patrick
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
ST. LOUIS — For federal prosecutors to file the most likely criminal charge to result from the hacking of a Houston Astros website, the attack would have to be both malicious and costly, said defense lawyers who have handled such cases.
The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which was enacted in the 1980s to go after hack-ers breaking into and damaging government computers, would be “a perfect fit” based on media reports, said H. Dean Steward, a California lawyer and former federal public defender, “assum-ing they can prove some sort of malicious intent.”
“You’ve got to be doing some-thing bad. If you’re checking out the website and shouldn’t have been on there, that’s probably not actionable,” he said, but trying to steal scouting reports and get in-side information would qualify. But whether that standard has been met in Cardinal’s hacking case is unclear. Meanwhile, one local expert questions whether the standard applies at all.
The hacking investigation be-gan after a 2014 attack. Internal memos and trade discussions from the Astros proprietary baseball operations database, dubbed “Ground Control,” were leaked that June.
Steward initially said that an expert could say that the infor-mation was worth “hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
After Astros general man-ager Jeff Luhnow, Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak and former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa all cast doubt on the value of the hacked informa-tion this week, Steward said their opinions could affect his. But, he wrote in an email, it was a “novel question” that could stop the in-vestigation.
In 2008, Steward’s client Lori Drew was found guilty of three misdemeanor computer fraud charges related to her alleged involvement in the creation of a fake MySpace profile blamed for the October 2006 suicide of 13-year-old Megan Meier, of Dardenne Prairie. The charges later were overturned by a judge.
Other lawyers disagreed with Steward.
“I don’t know how they would show damages,” said Joel Schwartz, a Clayton lawyer who is defending a man facing a mis-demeanor version of the com-puter fraud charge for allegedly shutting a St. Louis County po-lice union website last fall.
Schwartz said that it wasn’t as if the Astros hacker or hack-ers had shut down a commercial website, like Nordstrom’s, block-ing sales.
He said that it was sounding
like “sport or a prank.” “Maybe they did it just to see if they could,” he said.
But Neil Richards, a Wash-ington University Law School professor who specializes in privacy, First Amendment and information law, cautioned, that the statute is outdated, poorly designed and is “much criticized.” He said that any unauthorized access to a protected computer could result in a charge. He said that in order for there to be seri-ous penalties, there is a require-ment that victims suffer loss or damage of more than $5,000. The Astros could easily have spent more than $5,000 respond-ing to the attack, and lawyers could argue that the team suf-fered a competitive disadvantage that far exceeded that amount.
William Margulis, who re-cently represented a man ac-cused of hacking into websites in Israel, cautioned that too much is unknown: “I don’t know if there’s enough facts or informa-tion out yet to determine what they did or what they tried to do.”
Richards said prosecutors should be focusing on the data breaches that have affected large corporations and the govern-ment.
“Frankly, if I were a federal prosecutor, I would not be look-ing to push charges here,” said Richards, who felt it necessary to point out in the interests of im-
partiality that he was a Red Sox fan.
“This was very naughty by the Cardinals if they did it, but ... on the scale of criminal hacking ... (this) is really quite low on the list of bad things that are happening,” he said. Two so-called “white hat” or ethical hackers, contacted by the Post-Dispatch said that the hack was most likely pulled off in one of two ways. Either the hacker or hackers knew enough information to guess at Astros user names and passwords, or they applied “brute force.”
In the first approach, some-one with knowledge of past user names could guess what current names and passwords would be. If an old password was “Cardi-nals79,” a hacker might think,
“I’ll try ‘Astros80,’ “ said Charlie Miller, a security engineer for Twitter.
But a well-designed website would limit those guesses to per-haps five to 10 at a time, he said.
Luhnow has insisted that he was aware of the need for “pass-word hygiene and best practices.”
“If that’s accurate, he’s prob-ably the only person in the world who’s never re-used a password,” said Dave Chronister. He added that a properly designed pass-word can be re-used to some degree, just not across different websites.

Akron Beacon Journal (MCT)
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — I want the speculation about Da-vid Blatt’s future to be over.
I want Blatt’s declaration Thursday that he “absolutely” intends to stay and coach the Cavaliers next season and gen-eral manger David Griffin’s con-tinued support of Blatt to be the end of it.
But I suspect that’s not the case.
Not with LeBron James in his postseason bunker, decompress-ing after another physically and emotionally painful loss in the NBA Finals.
Not with Cavs owner Dan Gilbert’s willingness to fire coaches yearly, no matter the cost.
Not with questions about whether James and his team-mates respect Blatt or have tuned him out, an issue addressed all season by the local media, con-tinuing to be raised nationally.
In a news conference Thurs-day at Cleveland Clinic Courts, it sounded like the front office is solidly behind Blatt. Griffin pointed out that the Cavs went 33-3 in their last 36 games when the Big Three of James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving were healthy, then had to remake the
“offensive juggernaut” when Love and Irving were lost to injuries in the playoffs.
Considering how under-manned the Cavs were, just making the Finals, much less go-ing ahead 2-1 against the Golden State Warriors before falling in six games, should solidify Blatt’s status. Blatt also quickly assimi-lated Timofey Mozgov, Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith into the rotation when they arrived in two January trades and saved the season after the Cavs opened 19-20.
But Gilbert, who usually at-tends the Cavs’ season wrap-up, was conspicuously absent. Until we hear from him or James, the whispers about Blatt might not be put to rest.
Griffin tried to do that Thursday. Griffin spent four years in the media relations de-partment with the Phoenix Suns and understands the business. He addressed a story from ES-PN’s Marc Stein, who served as a radio sideline reporter during the Finals, about James calling timeouts, making substitutions and barking at Blatt about deci-sions he didn’t like.
“I think sensational sells now, and certainly with a team like ours the more sensational the better,” Griffin said. “I think it was June 1, LeBron himself said he thinks coach has done a hell of a job.
“I appreciate the fact that there is this cool narrative hang-ing out there, and you can say this forever. It literally never has to go away, sorry, coach, no mat-ter how much we win, it never has to go away because it’s all conjecture. One thing David did
as well as anybody I’ve ever seen, and I wish I did better, was just ignore the noise from the me-dia perspective. Because frankly, none of that means anything. We know what actually takes place here.”
But Blatt admitted during the 35-minute session that he “went through a pretty radical learning curve.” A 20-year veteran inter-national coach, Blatt knew little about the NBA, so he hired a vet-eran staff to help.
Griffin said he expects James to opt-out of his contract and re-sign. But before he recom-mits, there surely will be a con-versation between ownership and James in July about the Cavs’ future. At that time, there will be pressing questions James and Gilbert must discuss.
With the clock ticking on the prime of James’ career, can the Cavs afford to wait for Blatt to learn the league? While Blatt figures it out, can the Cavs win a title with James as the de-facto coach during games? Can Blatt accept that?
“He is a galvanizing player,” Blatt said of James. “He is our best player. He’s the league’s best player. He’s a winner. He’s a proven champion. I think it’s important that he feels empow-ered and at the same time that he knows that he’s very much a part of this team. And I think he’s ex-hibited that, and always put the team’s success beyond his.”
It would be totally out of character for James to say Blatt must go, especially when Blatt is so willing to listen to his sugges-tions. James’ goal of leading the Cavs to a championship surely led to some of the questionable interaction between James and Blatt that Stein saw during the Finals. It continued the plot line from the “Give me the ball” mo-ment James revealed after his game-winning shot at the buzzer in Game 4 of the Eastern Confer-ence semifinals against the Chi-cago Bulls that evened the series 2-2. To his credit, Blatt under-stands James’ superior basketball mind and when James overruled him, he acquiesced.
But assuming he’s in charge when training camp opens, Blatt must win his players over. It took more than a season for Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra to do that after James arrived in the summer of 2010. For Blatt to become closer with James, Blatt needs to open up personally. Per-haps he already has. But with the media, Blatt was guarded when questions about his family arose and extremely defensive of his rookie status in the NBA.
If anyone but Gilbert were writing the checks, Blatt’s return wouldn’t even be an issue. Gil-bert’s impetuous track record with coaches includes Byron Scott, fired on April 18, 2013 and Mike Brown, fired for the second time on May 12, 2014.
Those two events might save Blatt. But then again, maybe not for long.

The Seattle Times
Sounders forward Clint Dempsey has been suspended for three Major League Soc-cer games and fined an undis-closed amount for his “conduct” at Starfire Stadium on Tuesday night, when he snatched and then ripped up the referee’s note-book in Seattle’s 3-1 U.S. Open Cup loss to Portland.
Further punishment could still come in the form of an Open Cup ban, with a decision from U.S. Soccer to come next week after it ceded the rest of the au-thority to MLS on Friday morn-ing.
“Per the U.S. Soccer Policy Manual,” the federation’s re-lease read, “any incident of al-leged Referee Assault or Abuse by a professional player during a Professional League Member activity is governed by the Pro-fessional Leagues Policy Against Referee Assault as outlined in Policy 202(1)(H)-2.
“In this instance, MLS has ju-risdiction and is reviewing the incident as required by U.S. Soc-cer policy.”
The league added the fol-lowing explanation: “While the incident took place outside MLS league play, alleged actions by an MLS player against a referee dur-ing any club competition is ad-judicated and disciplined by the professional league. In this case, MLS had jurisdiction to review the incident and levy sanctions.”
Compounding the damage was the groin injury suffered by forward Obafemi Martins in Tuesday night’s match. Martins could miss between three and six weeks, Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said Thursday, meaning the team will be without both halves of its designated player partner-
ship at least through the D.C. United match at CenturyLink Field on July 3.
Dempsey and Martins have combined for 14 of Seattle’s 23 goals so far this season. The only bit of silver lining for the Sound-ers? Their absences come dur-ing perhaps the most forgiving stretch of this year’s MLS sched-ule _ only five of their next seven matches come against opponents currently occupying playoff spots.
The timing of the ban does mean that Dempsey will return from his ban from participating in “any soccer competition” in time for next month’s Gold Cup.

Sounders Forward Dempsey Suspended For 3 MLS Games

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (MCT)
One of the greatest running backs in football history be-lieves that he can still play in the NFL at the age of 53.
In a recent interview on “Boomer & Carton,” Georgia great Herschel Walker con-fidently told listeners that he could strap on pads and contrib-ute to an NFL team right now.
When asked by Craig Carton if he felt that he could still be a positive presence on the field, Walker responded: “There is not a doubt in my mind, if I played today, I (could) contribute to a team.”
The former Georgia great amassed 5,502 yards and 53 touchdowns during his college career, and holds the team’s single-season rushing record of 1,891 yards. Walker earned the Heisman Trophy following the 1982 season, and remains the all-time leading rusher for the Bulldogs.
Despite not having played in the NFL since 1997, Walker claims that he can still run a blistering 4.3 40-yard dash.
“The last time a ran a 40, I ran a 4.3,” Walker said on the show. “That was like a year ago. That was when I had not been doing any track work, all I had been doing was fighting.”
Since his playing days, Walker has found a new passion: mixed martial arts.
According to the former run-ning back, who says he weighs 225 pounds, fighting is one of the reasons holding him back.
“I thought about it, but I’m still fighting,” Walker said. “I’ve gotta get out of fighting first. Once I get out of the MMA stuff, then I may go back and play. I want to be the George Foreman of football.”

LET’S DANCE: Academy Plans Move to Downtown Centralia's Oldest BuildingBy Carrina Stanton
For The Chronicle
Talk to Mick and Nancy Gunter about Centralia Ballet Academy and one common theme quickly emerges — their students.While they have had many ac-complishments over the last six years, they rarely talk about themselves. Rather, they are quick to point out what their students are doing, where they are going and how proud they are of them.
So it should come as no surprise their latest move, buying a new build-ing to create a larger studio space,
should be all about their students as well.“We're going to be around for a while so it kind of makes sense to have a place to build into the studio we want our students to have,” Mick Gunter said.Centralia Ballet Academy started six years ago with about 15 students. This year, the program had grown to about 80 students. Since its inception Centralia Ballet Academy has been leasing space in the lower level of The Aerie building. While the space once worked for the small studio, as they have grown its single dressing room and bathroom and parent waiting area have become too small. Mini-mal storage means set pieces and costumes are sometimes in the dress-ing room or studio area and even the dance floor has become too small for
some of their more advanced dancers.“We need the space,” Nancy Gunt-er said. “We had girls taken up into lifts almost go into the lights. Or we'd have male dancers who would go to do a combination and they'd say 'do you want me to do the first half of the steps or the last half because I don't have room to do them all.'”Last year, the Gunters began the process of looking for a building to buy and create a space all their own. Mick Gunter said they had two cri-teria: the building must be in or near downtown Centralia; and it must be large enough for two separate dance floors. Recently, they decided on 109 North Tower, located directly across from the Olympic Club in downtown Centralia. Built in 1892 it is the old-est standing building in downtown Centralia. The Gunters, a family with
two young children, are actually put-ting up their own money to purchase the building“It's scary,” Nancy Gunter said. “Exciting, but scary.”The Gunters and families of Centralia Ballet Academy also be-gan a GoFundMe.com account with a $25,000 fund-raising goal. Mick Gunter said the $25,000 fund-raiser will cover the cost of helping them renovate the space and “just to get our foot in the door,” he said. Among the giver incentives being offered, donors giving $100 will get a ceramic tile with their name in the front of the new building.
“One hundred dollars is a pret-ty small price to be part of his-tory but also to be responsible for

The Philadelphia Inquirer
The news from the Middle East has become so grim I am always looking for a bright spot.
So, on a recent trip to Iraqi Kurdistan, it was a relief and a surprise to come across an upbeat story in an unexpected place: a church in Irbil that houses Christian refugees from northern Iraq who barely es-caped the Islamic State invasion in August.
The first hint of something unexpected was the shrieks of children’s laughter when I en-tered the Mar Elias churchyard. The next surprise was seeing young boys and girls playing volleyball together on a paved court under improvised night
lights, a sight I’d never seen in the gender-conscious Middle East.
This scene was a far cry from the dark days when the Islamic State overran ancient Christian towns in Nineveh province and 60,000 Christians fled to Iraqi Kurdistan, where they crowd-ed into cheap apartments or churches or squatted in unfin-ished buildings.
The Kurds, who are Sunni Muslims but not Arabs, wel-comed the Christians but couldn’t cope with the in-flux (having already accepted 200,000 Syrian refugees and previous waves of Christians fleeing Baghdad and Mosul).
At Mar Elias, 110 families, 564 people in all, jammed into its large grounds in Ankawa, a
Christian suburb of Irbil. Mar Elias is a Chaldean, or Eastern-rite Catholic church, but the refugees included other Catho-lics and Syrian Orthodox. They were a confused angry crowd with hundreds of traumatized children.
“We had to use the church garden and an unfinished mall,” recalled Father Douglas Bazi, an ebullient Iraqi cleric with a brush cut and a short salt-and-pepper beard, wearing black slacks and an electric-blue short-sleeved shirt.
But when relief agencies fi-nally sought to move the refu-gees into rental apartments or makeshift camps, a strange thing happened. “People here refused to move,” Father Doug-las said.
Under the priest’s direction, and with the contributions of local Christian volunteers, the refugees had morphed into a close community. With help from charitable groups and lo-cal volunteers, Father Douglas had moved them into brightly colored trailers — he uses the British term, caravans — which line the edges of the churchyard.
And, gradually, the children began to laugh.
Having seen other, desolate refugee camps filled with des-perate Christians (or Muslims) bereft of hope, and living in confusion, I can assure you that Mar Elias is not the norm.
What Father Douglas had decided to do was focus on young children and teens. “To focus on the adults in a time of chaos is a waste of time,” he told me. “I care about the kids. They
are our revenge and our prom-ise.”
When the children arrived with their families “they were lost,” the priest recalled. “They were aggressive, and the boys used bad language.” There was no sense of order. He was deter-mined to keep the kids busy, al-though the government was un-able to provide formal schooling until two months ago. He set up programs staffed by volunteers from Ankawa and from among the refugees, to teach English, French, music, dancing, and act-ing — all the things that the Is-lamic State had banned.
He forbade families from sending their children to work. He insisted that girls and boys learn and play sports together, another repudiation of Islamic State ideology — and something uncommon even among Iraqi Christians. He created a camp library in two trailers with do-nated books and computers and a huge chessboard, putting stu-dents in charge.
He has just acquired another trailer that will become a kin-dergarten and plans to set up a sports arena for the kids in an-other building.
Still, Father Douglas has giv-en himself an uphill task in an uncertain time.
“The future of Christians in northern Iraq is vague and the challenges great,” I was told by Chaldean Bishop Bashar Warda in his Irbil residence.
Tens of thousands of Chris-tians have fled to Irbil from Baghdad over the last decade to escape violence and church bombings, while Chaldean cler-
ics were murdered in Mosul during the violent years after the U.S. invasion.
But the latest exodus has raised questions about the very survival of historic Christian communities in Iraq. Bishop Bashar has worked frantically with Christian charitable groups to raise money to cope with the refugees from Mosul and Nineveh, but the money is run-ning out as the months are pass-ing. So he agonizes over whether and when these destroyed com-munities can be rebuilt or re-populated, even if the Islamic State is ultimately defeated.
Until the violence in nearby Syria is halted, and the jihadis driven out of Mosul, there is no way Christian refugees can re-turn home.
As for Father Douglas, he says he can’t say whether it’s bet-ter for Christians to stay or emi-grate abroad, where they would lose touch with historic com-munities that have endured for generations.
So he will keep pursuing his goal: Give children the skills and a mind-set that will enable them to survive the coming years of hardship. “If I lose one kid, I lose the future,” he insists.
This indefatigable priest is looking for donations of illus-trated children’s books in simple English. He would also love to have some volunteer English teachers for a two- or three-week stretch this summer. To learn more, email him at [email protected].

The Associated Press
MINEOLA, N.Y. — A Sikh college student from New York said Monday he is excited about a federal court decision that will permit him to enroll in the U.S. Army’s Reserve Officer Training Corps without shaving his beard, cutting his hair or removing his turban.
U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson issued the ruling June 12 in Washington, D.C., saying 20-year-old Iknoor Singh’s adherence to his reli-gious beliefs would not diminish his ability to serve in the military.
“I didn’t believe it at first when I heard about the decision,” said Singh, who lives in the New York City borough of Queens.
He told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Mon-day: “It was kind of surreal. This is something I have been fighting for for two or three years. I’m ex-cited and nervous; very excited to learn.”
Singh, who will be a junior next fall studying finance and business analytics at Hofstra Uni-versity on Long Island, said he has had a lifelong interest in public service. He speaks four languag-es — English, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu — and he said he wants to work in military intelligence.
“Becoming an officer is not an easy thing,” he conceded. “You have to be proficient in many ar-eas.”
Sikhism, a 500-year-old reli-gion founded in India, requires its male followers to wear a tur-ban and beard and keep their hair uncut.
Under a policy announced last year, troops can seek waivers on a case-by-case basis to wear religious clothing, seek prayer time or engage in religious practices. Approval depends on where the service member is sta-tioned and whether the change would affect military readiness or the mission.
Currently, only a few Sikhs serve in the U.S. Army who have been granted religious accom-modations.
In her ruling, Jackson said, “It is difficult to see how accommo-dating plaintiff ’s religious exer-cise would do greater damage to the Army’s compelling interests in uniformity, discipline, cred-ibility, unit cohesion, and train-ing than the tens of thousands of medical shaving profiles the Army has already granted.”
Army spokesman Lt. Col. Ben Garrett said in a statement the decision is currently being examined. “The Army takes pride in sustaining a culture where all personnel are treated with dignity and respect and not discriminated against based on race, color, religion, gender and national origin,” he said.
Hofstra spokeswoman Karla Schuster said in a statement that the university “supports Mr. Singh’s desire to serve his
country, as well as his right to religious expression and practice. We are pleased that the courts have affirmed that he can do both as a member of the ROTC.”
Gurjot Kaur, senior staff at-torney for the Sikh Coalition, said the decision was “an im-portant victory in the fight for religious freedom. We urge the Pentagon to eliminate the dis-criminatory loopholes in its poli-cies and give all Americans an equal opportunity to serve in our nation’s armed forces.”
The American Civil Liberties Union and a group called United Sikhs jointly represented Singh in the case.

HISTORY
Dynamite Play Toy
Submitted by Lola Robert Neumann / for Our Hometowns
Bobby Neumann is pictured in 1922, at about the age of 1, in an old dynamite box with dovetailed corners and “dyna-
mite” written on its sides. Now known as Robert Neumann, and 84 years of age, Neumann said he had the box through-
out high school and beyond and that his father put a lid on the box so Neumann could store his clothes in it. During the
Depression years the family was reduced to living in a one-room house, making the use of the box a necessity.

brother. Lenora was the mother of the contributor and a descendant of
Johnathon Davis, who settled (Eden) Layton Prairie in about 1851.

U.S. Army Founds Fort Colville on June 20, 1859
Captain (Brevet Major) Pinkney Lugenbeel (also spelled Lougenbeel) (1819-1886) arrives in the Colville Valley and selects a site near the present town of Colville, Spokane County (lat-er Stevens), for establishing a new fort. Initially it is called Harney’s Depot, named for Briga-dier General William S. Harney (1800-1889), his commanding officer, who has authorized the fort as a means of defending miners and settlers encroaching into Indian tribal areas as yet unsecured by treaty. The establishment of Fort Colville in 1859 comes on the heels of the 1858 defeat of Colonel Edward Steptoe (1816-1865) by Indians near present Rosalia and the subsequent victories of Colonel George Wright (1803-1865) in the battles of Four Lakes and Spokane Plains during the Indian War of 1858. The fort will also serve as the headquarters and provide escorts for the American contingent of the International Boundary Commission charged with locating and marking the 49th parallel as the boundary with Canada. The name of the fort soon changes to Fort Colville (not to be confused with the earlier Hudson’s Bay Company fur trade post, Fort Colvile, spelled with one “l” in the second syllable, and located 15 miles west on the Columbia River at Kettle Falls). A civilian village, Pinkney City, named for Lugenbeel, develops just across the creek to serve as a supply and trading center for the fort and surrounding countryside. Fort Colville continues under a succession of com-manders until its closure in 1882.
Judge C. H. Hanford Decides Cowell v. McMillin, Vindicating John McMillin’s Operation of Roche Harbor Lime Works, on June 20, 1909
United States District Court Judge C. H. Hanford issues his decree in Cowell v. McMil-lin, bringing to a close a three-year legal battle between two titans of the West Coast lime industry. In 1906, Ernest (E. V.) Cowell (1858-1913), the son of West Coast “Lime King” Hen-ry Cowell (1819-1903), brought John S. McMil-lin (1855-1936) to court over the dealings of the Tacoma and Roche Harbor Lime Company, founded and dominated by McMillin, which operated the West Coast’s largest limeworks at Roche Harbor on San Juan Island. The lawsuit not only offers insight into the specific history of the two men and their companies, but also provides a window into the business practices of the time: monopolistic control of markets, price fixing and undercutting, and manipula-tion of corporate structure.
Spokane-Based Lumber Workers Industrial Union, IWW, Formally Begins What Will Become a Statewide Loggers’ Strike on June 20, 1917
The Spokane-based Lumber Workers In-dustrial Union No. 500, IWW, formally begins what will become a massive loggers’ strike. The radical union calls the strike in the midst of an epidemic of small, spontaneous strikes throughout the “short-log” region (the pine log region east of the Cascades). Within two weeks logging operations within this region will cease. In another two weeks, the strike, which demands the eight-hour day and improved conditions in logging camps, will spread to Western Washington. Logging and the saw-mills they supply will come to a halt. In August, in the context of World War I and the urgent need for lumber, Washington Governor Ernest Lister and the U.S. Secretary of War will per-suade some logging firms to provide the eight-hour day. IWW leaders will be jailed, and by late August most loggers will return to work.
Soviet Ant-25 Completes First Transpolar Airplane Flight From the Soviet Union to the United States (Vancouver) on June 20, 1937
A Soviet-built ANT-25 monoplane lands at Vancouver’s Pearson Air Field, complet-ing the first airplane flight from the Soviet Union to the United States across the North Pole. The unfamiliar-looking aircraft, with long red, albatross-like wings, passes over the field in preparation for an unscheduled and unexpected landing. And although the arrival at Pearson Field is a complete surprise, there is no mystery as to the aircraft’s identity. For the past several days people around the world have anxiously followed its progress as its crew sought to be the first to cross the North Pole from Moscow to San Francisco.

Baked Eggs With Spinach, Yogurt and Sumac
By Gretchen McKay
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Eggs are a cheap and easy source of protein, but you can get tired of the same old way of pre-paring them, i.e. scrambling and frying. These easy baked eggs (also called shirred eggs) are an el-egant alternative.
Prepared in individual ra-mekins on a bed of baby spinach
— abundant this time of year in farmers markets — this recipe is about as divine as they come. In-stead of the usual salt and pepper, the eggs gets their zing from an onion-y yogurt sauce and a liberal dusting of sumac, a ground fruit with a bright and tangy flavor that’s a favorite in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking.
The original recipe calls for labneh, a soft cheese made from strained yogurt, but I used Greek yogurt with terrific results.
Paired with a salad and but-tered toast, this dish makes a sim-ple, rustic brunch or dinner. But it’s also delicious for breakfast.
BAKED EGGS WITH SPINACH,
YOGURT AND SUMACPG testedIngredients:2 tablespoons salted butter, meltedBig handful baby spinach leaves8 large eggs⅓ cup Greek yogurt1 tablespoon grated sweet on-ion½ teaspoon kosher salt4 slices good bread for toastSumac, for garnish
Directions:Arrange rack in center of oven
preheated to 375 degrees. Set a large kettle of water to boil.
Generously brush 4 6-ounce ramekins with some of the melted butter. Line bottom of each dish with ¼ of the baby spinach. Crack 2 eggs into each dish.
In small bowl, whisk the yo-gurt, onion and salt with a table-spoon of water to make a sauce the consistency of heavy cream.
Spoon a couple tablespoons of sauce over the egg white in each dish, avoiding the yolk so that it will stay a lovely bright yellow. Season each egg with a pinch of salt.
Place ramekins on a 2-inch deep baking dish and place dish in the oven on the center rack. Fill pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the egg dishes, taking care not to get any water in the eggs. Bake eggs for about 15 to 17 minutes, or until the whites are cooked and yolks are still bright yellow and jiggle when shaken. Toward the end of the baking time, toast and butter the bread. (I cooked my eggs for about 18 minutes.)
Remove baking dish from oven and carefully remove each ramekin from hot water, drying the ramekins off. Drizzle the eggs with melted butter and dust eggs with sumac. Serve immediately, placing each hot ramekin on a plate with buttered toast.
Makes 4 servings.— Adapted from “Rose Water &
Orange Blossoms: Fresh & Classic Recipes from My Lebanese Kitchen” by Maureen Abood (Running Press, April 2015, $30)

building a future for young people,” Mick Gunt-er said.
Centralia Ballet Academy’s lease at The Ae-rie is up at the end of July and the Gunters’ in-tention is to move the studio to the new build-ing at that point. Currently, 109 N. Tower has two entrances: one that leads to the downstairs space and one that leads upstairs. One of the first parts of the renovation will be to move the front of the building back to its original location to create a single entrance.
The downstairs space has a 60-foot by 24-foot floor and high ceilings, making it perfect for their more advanced dancers as well as a per-formance space for smaller events. Mick Gunter said they hope to offer performances or useful space during downtown events such as Girls Night Out and other local art events.
“We want to be down here to be more in-
volved in the downtown,” Mick Gunter said.About three-quarters of a mezzanine at the
back of the downstairs will be torn down but the rest will be used for costume and set storage. At the same time, a mezzanine that once existed at the front of the building will be rebuilt to pro-vide a parent waiting area and changing rooms.
A second dance floor in the upstairs area is closer to the size of their current dance floor and will be the perfect size for their younger dancers as well as less space minded classes such as Pilates.
Having more space will mean Centralia Bal-let Academy can add new classes such as tap, possibly martial arts and a higher level of bal-let than they were able to offer before. Nancy Gunter said they will also offer a greater variety of slots for younger students to make it easier for families and expect the space will mean their enrollment numbers will continue to grow.
“What has astounded me is growth in terms of level,” Nancy Gunter said. “Given it takes four years to establish a base of teaching we’ve got some incredibly talented and determined danc-ers who have just taken off.”
One of those is Jacob Brein, 16, in his fifth year with Centralia Ballet. Brein auditioned for and was selected for the Oregon Ballet Theatre’s 6-week summer intensive, an incredibly com-petitive process. Brein, who wants to become a professional dancer, said his studies with Cen-tralia Ballet have helped him move forward.
“It’s motivated me and helped me motivate others,” Brein said.
Another success story is Sammy Jo Myer, 23, who started classes at Centralia Ballet Acad-emy five years ago and has taught some of their youngest students the last three years. Myer was accepted to Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Mu-sic and Dance in London to study dance medi-cine and science or dance research. Myer didn’t start focusing on dance until after high school, which is considered very late for dancers and said the supportive and nurturing environment at Centralia Ballet Academy encouraged her to follow her passion.
“This was a phenomenal place to be able to learn and not feel like you’re being bombarded for being too old,” Myer said.
ADVICE: Dear Abby
DEAR ABBY: I am 19, and I like a girl who is 16, “Cheri.” My friends and fam-ily think we’re dating, and now one of my teach-ers and the school officer think it is a problem that we are around each other. I asked Cheri’s family if it was OK with them if I asked her out. Knowing how old I am, they approved.
My mom says I can be arrest-ed for statutory rape when all I did was give her a kiss on her cheek, and Cheri was fine with it. I really like her and she means the world to me. Is there anything I can use in my defense to prove that we didn’t do anything wrong? — ON A SLIPPERY SLOPE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
DEAR SLIPPERY: I don’t think anyone is accusing you of having done anything “wrong.” When young men and women are attracted to each other, the rela-tionship rarely stays static. The concern may be that an innocent kiss on the cheek may lead to something more.
That your friend’s parents ap-prove of you seeing their daugh-ter is a plus. However, if you be-come sexually involved with their daughter, their feelings could eas-ily change. While you might not be in trouble with the law in New Hampshire — which may calm your mother’s fears — the age of consent isn’t the same in every state.
DEAR ABBY: I was married
13 years ago, and we have a son and a daughter. Sadly, my husband decided he didn’t want to be mar-ried anymore and we divorced five years ago. My parents also divorced when I was young, and I did not use my mother’s dress.
I am trying to move on from
the divorce and I would like to sell the dress, which has been profes-sionally preserved. My ex remar-ried, and I’m concerned his new wife may decide to pass on her dress to my daughter. Do mothers still pass down wedding dresses to their daughters? — FORMER BRIDE IN NEW YORK
DEAR FORMER: Not every young woman wants to wear her mother’s or grandmother’s wed-ding dress. Their tastes may be different, and there could also be the reality that the sizes may be different. If selling the dress will help you to move on, then by all means do so.
And, please, don’t waste your time worrying about whether the new wife will steal your thun-der by offering your daughter her bridal gown. For the reasons stated above, she might very well refuse it.
DEAR ABBY: I have a fam-
ily member who does not “have time” to contact, by phone or email, those near and dear to him and tell us what’s happening in his life. (If one goes to Facebook, we see our family member posts every personal detail of his life.)
Is this the new communica-tion? Should we accept this and run to look at Facebook every time we want to know what’s happen-ing in our loved one’s life? — LEFT BEHIND IN THE REAL WORLD
DEAR LEFT BEHIND: Yes, it is, so you might as well accept it. Be glad you are computer-savvy enough to know how to find his postings, because it’s unlikely your loved one will change.

Academy: Desire to be More Involved DowntownContinued from page Life 1
Jesse Smith / For the Chronicle
A photograph of 109 N. Tower Ave., in downtown
Centralia, is displayed on a phone, compared to
present day. The building is the oldest standing
building in downtown. Mick Gunter, the owner of
the Centralia Ballet Academy, has put in a bid to
purchase the building in order to give the acad-
emy a permanent home and accommodate larger
class sizes.
