Annual Event Raises Thousands of Dollars for Toledo Senior Center/ Main 3

The floodwaters that covered East Lewis County back in De-cember have since receded, but the evidence of their destructive power will remain on display for the fore-seeable future. Numerous Forest Service roads in the Gifford Pin-chot National Forest were hit hard during the flood events, especially well-traveled Forest Road 23, which was completely washed out in two stretches by the raging Cispus River.

So far, the Forest Service does not have a timetable for repairing and reopening the roads.

WAYNE FOURNIER: Police Department, City Positions, Economic Development Remain Important Topics

By Justyna Tomtas

[email protected]

After Tenino’s most heated election cycle in recent memory, new Mayor Wayne Fournier is now settling into his role as the leader of the city.

Inching his way ahead of a tied race in the primary election, the 35-year-old ousted former mayor Bret Brodersen in the November general election with 54.77 percent of the vote, be-coming the youngest mayor in the history of Tenino.

“There’s things that come in front of you that you see that you want to do something about, and I don’t like to sit around and complain about things,” Fourni-er said of why he decided to run for mayor. “I guess I’m foolish enough to think that I can work on things or fix things; some-body’s got to do it.”

The election brought politics back into Tenino, a sleepy city that hadn’t seen many contested elections.

Fournier said prior to when he ran for a spot as a coun-cil member in 2012, there had hardly been any contested races for the last 20 years. Even fewer the further you look back in his-tory.

“Prior to that you go back to the records, they were almost nonexistent,” Fournier said. “So I and a few others have had to invent what that’s going to look like around here… seeing cam-paign signs in Tenino, it had never occurred in my lifetime other than for county commis-sioners and things like that.”

Now with a few months of experience as mayor, and al-most four years experience pri-or to that as a council member, Fournier has shifted his focus from the election to bettering the city.

His ultimate goal is to steer the city “out of crisis mode and into creation mode,” allowing the city to thrive more.

Until that is possible, the firefighter of 16 years is making other changes to the city.

Jumping Donkey Leaps to Fame in Egyptian Village

AL-ARID, Egypt (AP) — A donkey has leapt to fame in a small Egyptian village by de-fying her species’ well-known stubbornness and jumping hur-dles on command.

Ahmed Ayman, a 14-year-old farmer living in the Nile Delta north of Cairo, discovered his donkey’s natural talent when she leapt over an irrigation canal one day, and decided to train her.

“We got a very small barrier, and then would make it higher and higher each day,” he said.

Now the two perform in front of crowds of gleeful chil-dren from their village of al-Ar-id. Ayman uses a wooden baton to urge the donkey on and leaps over a homemade wooden bar-rier in the style of an equestrian.

A cousin has posted pictures of the feat online, which have been spread through social me-dia.

Donkeys are a fixture of daily life in rural Egypt, where they are used for transportation or to haul goods, and can often be seen in Cairo and other major cities. But it’s rare to see a donkey gallop, much less go airborne.

“I have never seen a jumping donkey before. We even tried it with another donkey and when it reached the barrier it stopped,” said Abdel-Moneim Sayed, Ayman’s uncle. “A donkey is very stubborn. If he knows that he cannot pass a barrier he will not even try, no matter what you do.”

Ayman dreams of one day jumping horses, but he says he would never part with his don-key, even for a huge sum of mon-

ey, “because she can jump, and I love her.”

Ohio Gas Station Glitch Lets Drivers Fill Up for Pennies

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A computer glitch led to a brief price war between two gas sta-tions in northwest Ohio, allow-ing some drivers to fill their tanks for pennies per gallon.

WTOL-TV reports that a computer malfunction dropped prices at one north Toledo gas station, and another across the street lowered its prices to stay competitive early Sunday.

Customer Taylor Kline told the station he filled his empty tank for just 26 cents. The extra-low pricing lasted at least three hours before returning to normal.

Ohio’s average price for a gal-lon of regular gas was $1.55 in Monday’s survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. That’s down from $2.29 a year ago.

The national average Mon-day for regular gas was $1.70.

Mayor Shows Love to Skateboarders, Lifts Ban in Love Park

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Skateboarders in Philadelphia are feeling the love from Love Park now that the mayor has tempo-rarily lifted a ban on skating there until it closes for renovations.

Democratic Mayor Jim Ken-ney made the announcement Wednesday during a ground-breaking ceremony for the park and welcome center’s $20 mil-lion facelift.

The park is a skateboarding haven. Kenney urges skaters to take advantage of it until it closes February 15. He tells skat-ers they’re “part of the fabric” of Love Park. He says granite re-moved during the overhaul will be used in skate parks across the city.

Skater Luke Darigan tells The Philadelphia Inquirer he’s taking time off work to make the most of the opportunity.

Robert Indiana’s iconic “LOVE” statue will be moved across the street to City Hall’s Dilworth Plaza during the year-long renovation.

FUNDRAISER: More Than $2,000 is Typically Raised for Toledo Senior Center Each Year

By Justyna Tomtas

[email protected]

The Toledo Senior Center was transformed into Royal Tea Time on Sunday afternoon, help-ing to raise money for the center while providing people with an opportunity to dress up and en-joy friendship.

The tea time event is in its third year. Originally started by Anna Melkers, the event allows those in attendance to dine in el-egance on finger sandwiches and desserts, while sampling a large assortment of teas.

“It’s such a joy to be here to-day,” Melkers told the crowd.

“What an opportunity to gather with love in our hearts and love for one another.”

Diana Haug, site manager, said the event brings in more than $2,000 for the senior center.

This year, 90 tickets were sold to the event, said Fred Wilson, a volunteer.

Along with a decadent lunch, attendees were able to bid on si-lent auction items donated to the cause.

While dining on egg salad and cucumber sandwiches, clas-sical music filled the packed venue. Four local musicians took part in the event — three on the cello and one on the harp.

Rachel Morris, a local music instructor and cellist at the event, said it was her second year per-forming at tea time.

“It’s a great way to give back to the community,” she said. “It’s the one pro bono event I do every year … we have fun, lively jigs lined up.”

Harpist Karen Monroe said it was her first year at the event. She decided to join to help serve the community in what she called a great opportunity.

The tables, adorned in vari-ous chinas, were served by five FFA students from Toledo.

The students were able to learn etiquette and gain more community service hours, said Ronda Chumbley, an assistant to the FFA advisory.

“We learn the thrill of helping others in the community,” said student Charlie Holmes, a junior at Toledo High School.

The days before the event are full of preparation as sandwich-es are crafted, and desserts are baked. Maggie Davis, a volunteer, said Melkers is what made the event special. She also said it was a unique opportunity for those in and around Toledo to cel-ebrate Valentine’s Day and raise money for the center.

Melkers, who is originally from Latvia and a resident of To-ledo since 1971, said she enjoys putting on the event and bring-ing people together.

“It’s very joyful to raise money and it gives people a chance to dress up,” she said.

During the event the dress code was strict. Women were required to wear dresses and hats, while men had to don a suit jacket.

Another draw for Melkers

was the music, something she said people don’t get to hear enough of anymore.

“We don’t hear classical music much,” she said. “I love it.”

News in Brief

House OKs Partial Automatic Voter Registration Bill

OLYMPIA (AP) — The House has passed a bill that sup-porters say will help increase voter engagement.

On a 55-42 vote Monday, the chamber passed House Bill 2682, which would automatically reg-ister people who aren’t on the voter rolls but already have or apply for an enhanced driver’s license or commercial driver’s licenses, both of which require citizenship verification. Those who receive social services that verify citizenship or get health insurance through the state health exchange also would be automatically registered.

Under the measure, eligible voters’ information would be sent to the secretary of state’s office, which would notify them that they can opt out. If the po-tential voter doesn’t respond, he or she will be automatically be registered within 60 days.

The measure now heads to the Senate for consideration.

Bill to Rename Highway 99 in Washington Clears House

OLYMPIA (AP) — A bill that would name a Washington high-way, once designated to honor Jefferson Davis, after a black civil war veteran has unanimously passed the House.

House Bill 4010 passed on Monday and will now be con-sidered by the Senate. It would name Highway 99 after William P. Stewart, of Snohomish, who volunteered to fight for the Unit-ed States, according to the bill.

Highway markers near Blaine and Vancouver, Clark County, blessed by state officials once named Highway 99 after Jef-ferson Davis. Davis was the first and only president of the Con-federate States of America. Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, first tried to change the high-way's name in 2002. The markers

have since been removed from the highway, which currently has no official name.

Experts Unsure About Effects of Pesticides on Pot

SEATTLE (AP) — While Den-ver has recalled 19 pot products in as many weeks over pesticide is-sues, no such recalls have affected Washington state in the 18 months that pot sales have been legal.

The Seattle Times reported that no products were recalled after Washington officials fined two marijuana growers and sus-pended the licenses of two others for using unapproved pesticides.

Experts say it's difficult to determine whether consumers should be worried about that.

Although there's abundant research on pesticides on food, there's little information about the effects of heating and inhal-ing such chemicals. The federal prohibition on marijuana has prevented relevant research.

Four boys perform a barbershop quartet piece for the kids Talent Show at the Fox Theatre in Centralia in April 2015.

PERFORMANCES: Annual Talent Show at the Fox Theatre Offers Diversity in Performances

By Kaylee Osowski

[email protected]

It’s time to begin practicing.Auditions for the 2016 talent

show put on by the Centralia-Chehalis Soroptimist and Cen-tralia-Chehalis Kiwanis clubs begin next month.

The clubs are looking for youths with all kinds of talent

— from singing and playing a musical instrument to juggling and everything in between — to perform in the April 16 annual show at 6 p.m. at the Fox Theatre in Centralia.

Audition applications are available at local schools and businesses.

While some area churches host talent shows, Soroptimist member Donna Karvia said the upcoming show at the Fox The-atre offers more diversity.

Last year, for example, Sadie Mechem performed a gymnas-tics routine.

“We have all levels of talent,” said Bob Holland, a Kiwanis member.

Karvia has been surprised at the lack of nerves many kids show while performing in front of large audiences.

“We expected them, I think, to be a little bit more apprehen-sive about it,” Karvia said,

She said the kids are also re-ally encouraging of one another.

Some performers from previ-ous talent shows have continued performing. Those include Tole-do High School graduate Kaitee Carney, who has recorded origi-

nal tracks and opened for musi-cians Keith Anderson and Jessica Andrews.

Former talent show perform-ers include Centralia student Jisu Han, a violinist, and Chehalis student Jason Chung, a pianist, who both performed in the Pa-cific Northwest Chamber Or-chestra’s “Soaring Soloists” con-cert last year at Centralia College.

While many of the partici-pants are from Centralia and Chehalis, the clubs would like to see more students from outside the Twin Cities audition.

The top 20 auditioners will perform in the April show.

The show is divided into three age categories. The first is for entrants up to 8 years old, the second is for kids ages 9 to 13 and the final category is age 14 through high school seniors.

Prizes for first-, second- and third-place are awarded in each group. The third-place winners will be awarded $50, second place $100 and first place $250.

Tickets for the show will soon be available. Some of the ticket money goes toward prizes and the rest goes back to the clubs.

“We do it as a community ser-vice … If we have some pennies left over for each of the clubs, we share that,” Holland said.

Those funds are then put back into community projects.

While the show used to be an annual event hosted by the Ki-

wanis Club starting in the 1940s or 1950s, Holland said, it died out in the 1990s before being res-urrected by the two community clubs in 2013.

Karvia said the Soroptimists were looking for a way to sup-port community youth, and ap-proached Kiwanis about bring-ing the show back.

“We couldn’t do it by our-selves,” Karvia said. “I wouldn’t even know where to start.”

Audition for the 2016 Tal-ent Show will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on March 17 and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on March 19 in the V.R. Lee Community building on 13th Street in Chehalis.

Auditions applications are available at any local school, Chehalis or Centralia Umpqua Bank locations, Book ‘n’ Brush, Jeremy’s Farm to Table Restau-rant, Smiths Mercantile, Ander-son’s True Value, Holley’s Place and Santa Lucia Coffee.

All performances are limited to four minutes. At auditions, a CD player will be available, and performers must bring any mu-sic accompaniment.

A keyboard is available for auditions, and a piano will be available at the April 14 dress rehearsal and the show two days later.

For more information, con-tact Karvia at [email protected] or Mary Shahan at [email protected].

Community Clubs Seeking Talented Youths for April Show

‘‘We expected them, I think, to be a little bit more apprehensive about it.’’

Donna Karvia

Soroptomist Club, organizer

SPOKANE (AP) — The elec-tricity needs of Northwest states can be met in the next 20 years mostly through conservation ef-forts, with little need to construct new power plants, the Northwest Power and Conservation Coun-cil predicted.

The Portland, Oregon, based council recently issued its 20-year plan for meeting the energy needs of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.

"By investing in energy effi-ciency at the levels recommend-ed in the plan, we'll be able to grow without initiating an ag-gressive program to build new generating resources, and we'll keep Northwest electricity rates low," Council Chairman Henry Lorenzen said in a statement last week.

However, some utilities might have to build new power plants to help integrate inconsistent natural resources such as wind power into the grid, the council said.

The council recommended programs that would pay some electricity consumers to volun-tarily refrain from power use during times when power is in short supply. The 20-year plan accounts for planned closures of coal-powered plants in Wash-

ington, Oregon and Nevada that help supply power to the region. It also seeks to reduce carbon emissions by 33 percent from historical levels.

The Northwest Energy Co-alition lauded the plan, saying conservation is "the region's sec-ond-largest energy resource after hydropower."

"Calling for no new natural gas plants for at least the next de-cade and beginning to acknowl-edge the full extent and expense of coal power consumed in the region ... are important victories," the coalition said.

But the power council failed to properly study removing four dams on the Snake River to ben-efit wild salmon runs, the coali-tion said.

Members of the power coun-cil, two from each state, are ap-pointed by the governors. They unanimously approved the lat-est power plan after conducting a 60-day public comment period.

"The new plan positions the Northwest to compete economi-cally in a low-carbon 21st Cen-tury," the council said.

The plan assumes that North-west industrial output over the 20-year period will increase by 36 percent, from $125 billion to $170 billion.

The plan projects that the region's electricity loads can be maintained at the current level of about 20,000 average mega-watts. Since 1995, annual energy loads grew at an average rate of only 0.40 percent, thanks to the region's investment in efficiency.

That's even though the region has seen some huge energy us-ers appear. For instance, "cloud-based" computer farms like the Google, Apple, and Facebook facilities in the Northwest con-sume as much electricity as the power production of Germany and Japan combined.

Maintaining the region's low-cost, low-carbon power system will help attract desirable in-dustries, academic institutions and medical research, sources of high paying jobs and magnets for skilled, educated workers, the plan said.

Hydroelectric power gener-ated in the Columbia River Basin will continue as the region's core, carbon-free source of energy.

Energy efficiency is the re-gion's second largest resource, saving consumers about $3.75 billion per year on electricity bills, and lowering annual car-bon dioxide emissions by 22.2 million tons per year, the plan said.

Members of a newly formed American Legion group meet in Rochester last month.

SUPPORT: Group Will Assist Veterans and Their Families in South Thurston County

By Jordan Nailon

[email protected]

Local veterans of the United States military have a new re-source at hand now that Ameri-can Legion Post 49 has opened in Rochester.

The post was awarded its temporary charter Feb. 3. Orga-nizers are working hard to enroll new members and complete by-laws so that they can get on with their real mission of assisting veterans in need.

Bob Clark is Rochester’s post commander.

Clark, 50, previously worked with the Rainier Legion post. He has been involved with the American Legion in an off and on capacity since 1999.

“But I’ve obviously jumped in with two feet this time around,” Clark said.

Clark noted that the idea to found American Legion Post 49 came about after a review of re-quests received by local Ameri-

can Legion posts showed a dis-proportionate number of cases coming from the Rochester area.

With no local post at that time, veterans and their families were forced to travel to Centralia and Olympia in order to pro-cure assistance. Now that Post 49 is open, that log jam has been cleared.

“We’re here and ready to help the veterans,” noted Clark.

In addition to assisting vet-erans with their affairs, Clark said that the Legion post is looking forward to sponsoring high school activities, local Boy Scouts and youth baseball teams. Mostly though, American Le-gion Post 49 is there to help vet-erans and their families with a wide array of issues.

“They’re from one extreme to the other,” said Clark, explaining the types of services the Ameri-

can Legion can provide. Clark started the list with lawn mow-ing and quickly moved along to helping with household bills, finding medical care and navi-gating the labyrinth of paper-work and procedures required to get help at the VA Hospital.

“We’ll help you find these re-sources,” Clark said.

Although a person must be a United States military veteran in order to join the American Le-gion, one does not need to be a member in order to receive ser-vices.

In fact, spouses, including widows and children are eligible for assistance.

“All veterans, no matter what, we will help,” insisted Clark.

The new post commander add-ed, “You’ve got to remember that the American Legion helped start the G.I. Bill and worked to get it

passed in order to help all veterans.”American Legion Post 49

holds meetings on the first Wednesday of every month from 6-8 p.m.

The first hour is reserved as a social hour with food and re-freshments provided. The meet-ings are held at the Rochester Bus Barn in the driver’s lounge, located at 7505 183rd Ave SW, Rochester.

Currently, Post 49 has 22 members enrolled. Any mem-ber who registers prior to April 1 will have their names added to the permanent charter roll. Most military veterans are eligible to join the American Legion, with a few exceptions set aside by Con-gress.

Clark encourages anyone with questions about eligibil-ity or how to obtain services to reach out without hesitation.

“I may not always have the answers, but I can certainly find them for you,” said Clark, who added that meetings are open to the public as well as children.

To contact the American Le-gion, send a letter to P.O. Box 984, Rochester, or contact Clark di-rectly at [email protected] or (360) 584-5773.

Cowlitz River Reaches Minor Flood LevelBy The Chronicle

The Cowlitz River at Randle experienced minor flooding Monday, in line with a flood warning issued by the National Weather Service Sunday.

The water receded after crest-ing at about 18.3 feet Monday af-ternoon.

A flood watch remained in effect for Lewis County and sur-rounding areas through Tuesday morning. No other major area rivers are expected to flood.

For additional information, see area river gauges at http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=SEW.

Police Search for Suspect in Interrupted BurglaryBy The Olympian

Tumwater police are investi-gating an interrupted burglary that was reported in the 200 block of Lark Street SW at about 8:45 a.m. on Monday.

A K-9 unit did some tracking in the area, but was not able to locate a suspect, according to Lt. Patti Mize.

“We’re still following up on leads,” she said. “We do have some active leads we’re pursuing.”

The homeowner was not in the house at the time of the break-in, and no other informa-tion could be released, Mize said.

Inslee to Announce I-405 Tolling Changes, Steps to Keep I-5 MovingBy The Seattle Times

OLYMPIA — After criticism of the state’s latest freeway tolling

system and the state Senate’s sur-prise ouster of Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson, Gov. Jay Inslee is expected Tuesday to announce changes intended to improve traffic flow and add capacity.

At state transportation of-fices in Shoreline, Inslee will reveal more than a dozen im-provements to the Interstate 405 express toll lanes, according to a Monday statement from Inslee’s office.

Inslee spokeswoman Jaime Smith declined to provide details of the I-405 proposals.

But, she said, “It’s largely a combination of things that the governor and legislators have been working on for a while, and a couple of new things.”

The gover-nor also will

tout a proposal to help conges-tion on Interstate 5 by funding 10 more incident-response teams to help quickly clear travel lanes of collision-damaged or disabled vehicles. Inslee included $10 mil-lion in his supplemental budget for the response crews.

Inslee will also announce that the Washington State De-partment of Transportation is scheduled to replace dozens of aging expansion joints on I-5 from Marysville to Federal Way. Expansion joints are the gaps be-tween bridge decks that provide room for the road to expand or contract during temperature changes.

WSDOT has been gradually replacing steel-covered I-5 joints by reinforcing the concrete edges with epoxy and using silicone filler between decks.

Problems involving the ag-ing expansion joints — many

are several decades old, and can pop up — may leave traffic grid-locked for hours. An emergency, rush-hour repair on I-5 in Seattle in November contributed to a backup that stretched to Lyn-nwood.

The announcements come after a turbulent start to 2016 in transportation news, which has seen Inslee shut down the High-way 99 tunneling project after a sinkhole formed, lawmakers re-spond to drivers’ anger over the new I-405 toll lanes, and the Sen-ate Republicans oust Peterson in a surprise move.

More than 30,000 motor-ists have signed an online peti-tion to “Stop I-405 Tolls,” citing daily commutes that are as bad or worse than before the tolling started in September. Under the new system, solo drivers can pay to enter a lane that is supposed to guarantee a trip of 45 mph or faster.

Rep. Judy Clibborn, D-Mer-cer Island, said Monday she didn’t know specifics of Inslee’s proposal regarding the toll lanes. But Clibborn, chairwoman of the House Transportation Com-mittee, said the prospect of In-slee taking action “adds stature” to the efforts of lawmakers. “I think it’s a really good move on his part to solidify the fact that we’re all working on it,” she said, adding later: “I’m anxious to see what he’s going to say.”

Clibborn was one of a hand-ful of Democratic lawmakers who recently signed a letter call-ing for the repeal of night, week-end and holiday tolls on I-405. That move came as the Senate Transportation Committee ap-proved Senate Bill 6152, spon-sored by Sen. Andy Hill, R-Red-mond, to repeal tolls from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m., as well as on weekends and holidays.

That reprieve, however, wouldn’t address the worst hours

of commuter congestion. Nor would it untangle the Bothell bottleneck where the freeway shrinks from five total lanes to three continuing north to Lyn-nwood.

Through a spokeswoman, Sen. Curtis King, R-Yakima and chairman of the Senate Trans-portation Committee, declined to comment Monday.

The Legislature has not acted on the governor’s call for fund-ing of the incident- response teams to give roadside assis-tance and help clear crashes. The teams typically consist of a truck equipped with pushing or pull-ing equipment, as well as a bank of flashing amber lights in the rear, which can be used to direct trailing motorists to shift lanes if needed.

Such teams are commonly stationed just outside downtown Seattle or at junctions between I-5 and I-90. WSDOT deploys a team during partial freeway clo-sures, when the risks posed by a stalled or crashed car become es-pecially dire.

The News Tribune

A new state rule allowing transgender people to use re-strooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity drew hundreds of demonstrators to the state Capitol on Monday, but they weren’t all on the same side.

About half of the 350 demon-strators protested against the rule, saying it makes it easier for sex of-fenders and predators to gain ac-cess to women’s locker rooms by pretending to be transgender.

A few hundred feet away, the other half of the demonstrators

— about 175 people — staged a counter-protest to support the policy, which they said protects the rights of transgender people in Washington state.

The rule, which took effect Dec. 26, says owners of businesses and other public facilities can’t force transgender people to use a bath-room or locker room that is incon-sistent with their gender identity.

Officials at the Washington state Human Rights Commis-sion, which approved the rule-change in 2015, have said the rule clarifies an antidiscrimina-tion law the Legislature approved in 2006.

An attempt to repeal the rule failed on floor of the Republican-controlled state Senate last week.

Several other proposals at the Leg-islature this year also aim to roll back the policy, but they are unlike-ly to advance in the House, which has a slim Democratic majority.

Opponents of the policy said they instead will seek to repeal the rule through a citizen initia-tive, which they hope could ap-pear on the ballot in November.

“This rule that is now man-dated opens the door, literally, to pedophiles, to sexual assault-ers, to rapists, to those who want to abuse,” said Angela Connelly, president of the Washington Women’s Network, at Monday’s

“Safe Spaces for Women and Children” rally.

“We are not talking about the transgender people,” Connelly said. “This is an attack on our civil rights.”

State Sen. Doug Ericksen, who sponsored the repeal effort that failed in the Senate, said he thinks a citizen initiative to re-verse the rule could succeed, giv-en the outrage he’s heard from his constituents.

“I think the people of Washing-ton state are overwhelmingly on our side,” said Ericksen, R-Ferndale.

Meanwhile, other demonstra-

tors on Monday said the new pol-icy helps protect transgender peo-ple from harassment and violence.

Elain Moria, a transgender woman who lives in Orting, said she fears how she would be treat-ed by men if she were forced to use a men’s locker room.

“If I go into a male bathroom, I’m probably going to get beat up,” Moria said.

Others who attended Mon-day’s “Transmisogyny Counter Protest” said the rule doesn’t cre-

ate any real danger for others.If it did, the state would have

seen a spike in sexual assaults in bathrooms after Washington’s antidiscrimination law was ap-proved in 2006, said Tali Jones of Organizing Trans Olympia.

That hasn’t happened, she said.

“We’re just going to the bath-room,” Jones said. “And it’s a simple right — it’s not like we’re asking for any special favors. We just want to go pee.”

Demonstrators for, Against Transgender Bathroom Rules Rally at State Capitol

Starting of their Safe Spaces for Women and Children rally Monday on the Capitol

steps, Autumn Starre Bennett from the “Keep Locker Rooms Safe” organization ad-

dresses the rally audience, which opposes the new state rule allowing transgender

people access to restrooms and locker rooms of their gender identity. Supporters

of that rule staged a counter protest behind them at the Temple of Justice.

Gold Star Kids Meet Seahawks Star Jermaine Kearse During Capitol Campus TourBy Lisa Pemberton

The Olympian

About 20 Gold Star fam-ily members — survivors of fallen American service men and women — participated Monday in a tour of Capitol Campus in Olympia.

Their first stop: The Legisla-tive Building’s State Reception Room for photos and autographs with Seattle Seahawks receiver Jermaine Kearse.

“These families in this com-munity gave the ultimate sac-rifice to fight for our freedom,” Kearse said.

The event, which was spon-sored by 15 to 1: Jermaine Kearse Foundation, included tours of the Capitol Campus and an op-portunity for families to meet Gov. Jay Inslee and state law-makers.

“We’re incredibly thankful to have his (Kearse’s) partnership and to have the passion he has for military youth and children

extended to us,” said Sarah Var-go, support coordinator with the U.S. Army Survivor Outreach

Services. “This is something he is doing out of his own passion and love.”

Kearse, a Lakes High School and University of Washington alumnus, was raised in a military family, and his father and stepfa-ther were stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. He said he es-tablished the nonprofit that sup-ports youths in military families to “give back to the community I was able to be a part of.”

During the reception, Kearse said he’s grateful for the Gold Star Kids.

“(I want) to let them know that they’re not alone, and I have their back,” he said, adding he is be-hind them 100 percent, as if they were his Seahawks teammates.

Kearse is due to become an unrestricted free agent March 9 unless the Seahawks sign him to an extension before then. He didn’t talk about his career op-tions at Monday’s reception, but his fans did.

“Love that he’s a hometown player,” said Gold Star wife Cath-erine Trujillo Adriaansen, 30, of Bremerton, whose husband died

of a service-related traumatic brain injury in April 2014. “We definitely want him to stay.”

Her son, Brian Trujillo, 13, wore a Kearse jersey to Monday’s event.

What was it like to meet one of his favorite NFL players?

“Amazing,” Trujillo said with a grin.

Michelle Kane, 37, of Allyn, said she believes Kearse’s in-volvement will help strengthen local Gold Star Kids and fam-ily programs. Her husband, Staff Sgt. Joseph Kane, died almost a decade ago during his second de-ployment to Iraq.

“To have somebody like Jer-maine Kearse who has a major voice for this is pretty impres-sive,” Kane said. “We have (Gold Star) friends who live in other states, and their voice has been much bigger, but Washington state just hasn’t gotten there yet.

“And with his help, we will get there.”

Bremerton, before headlining a reception Monday at the State Capitol honoring

Gold Star children and their families. The Lakes High School and UW alum grew up

in a military family while his dad was stationed at JBLM and has started the 15 to 1:

Jermaine Kearse Foundation to assist children in military families.

Port Angeles Street Signs Honor Klallam Tribal History

PORT ANGELES (AP) — New street signs using both Eng-lish and Klallam have been put up in the northwest Washington state town of Port Angeles.

City officials say the signs that went up about a week ago at the intersections of Oak and Front streets, and Oak Street and Railroad Avenue, are intended to honor Klallam tribal history.

Director of Public Works Craig Fulton told the Peninsula Daily News that the signs are near a new waterfront park.

SEATTLE (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard says crews rescued six people in three different search-and-rescue calls Saturday along the Washington and Oregon coast.

The Coast Guard reports res-cuing three people on Saturday morning near Coos Bay, Oregon, after their boat overturned.

On Saturday evening, two kay-akers, a male and female, capsized on the northeast side of Whidbey Island. The two swam to unin-habited Hope Island where a heli-copter crew retrieved them.

Also Saturday evening, the Coast Guard says a 58-year-old man fell from a dock at the Port of Ilwaco.

A crew in a boat located the unconscious man wedged be-tween a dock and a life raft. The crew pulled him from the water and successfully revived him within a few minutes. He was taken to a hospital.

Yakima Woman Faces Charges Following Death of Bicyclist

YAKIMA (AP) — A 24-year-old Yakima woman is facing charges following a collision that killed a 60-year-old bicyclist.

The Yakima Herald reported in a story on Saturday that Josc-lyn Olivas was charged with ve-hicular assault and hit-and-run resulting in a fatality.

Authorities say that Ronald Knowlton was riding his bike at about 11 p.m. Feb. 6 when he was struck by a vehicle.

Yakima police say the driv-er then hit a parked truck and ran away.

Authorities say police later ar-rested Olivas when she returned to her home near the scene of the accident.

A police report describes her as being “extremely intoxicated.”

Kids on Ski Outing Evacuate Burning Bus, Avoid Injury

GLACIER (AP) — About 35 middle school kids avoided in-jury Saturday morning by evac-uating a charter bus that caught fire heading to Mt. Baker Ski Area in northwest Washington state.

Washington State Patrol said a second bus with All Ad-ventures Charters & Bus Tours following the first bus picked up the evacuated students and con-tinued to the ski area.

A bus company spokesman says the lead driver pulled the bus over and started evacuation procedures after noticing a puff of steam and then smoke.

Washington State Patrol Trooper Heather Axtman said no injuries have been reported but the bus eventually became

fully engulfed in flames and was destroyed.

She said the winding road was reduced to one lane but had to be closed in the afternoon in both directions to remove the bus.

Kitsap County Judge Rules Against Popular Fireworks Stand

BREMERTON (AP) — A Kitsap County judge in north-west Washington state has banned a popular fireworks stand until its owner meets city and state licensing requirements.

The Kitsap Sun reported in a story on Saturday that Judge Kevin Hull sided with the city in a lawsuit contending the stand sold fireworks banned under state law, creating a hazard.

“We feel (the decision) makes that area safer,” said Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent. “And I think that within our city limits, any-thing we can do to enhance the safety of our residents is benefi-cial.”

The fireworks stand has op-erated on federal “land in trust” that’s similar to a tribal reserva-tion. The city filed the lawsuit nearly two years ago to close it.

Kevin Chambers, a repre-sentative of the family that that owns the property, says they dis-agree with the decision.

“We don’t believe they have the jurisdiction to rule on any-thing,” Chambers said. “Local governments here never have had any say over federal land.”

Chambers has previously said they’ve been licensed by the Suquamish Tribe to sell fire-works there.

The land was purchased by the U.S. government in the 1920s for a member of the Quinault Tribe and has remained in the family ever sense.

The city contends that the

property is miles away from a tribal reservation and shouldn’t be allowed to operate outside state and city rules and sell bot-tle rockets and other fireworks not legal to set off in the city. The city said people were buying the fireworks and setting them off a short distance away.

Currently, a casino is pro-posed for the site. It’s unclear if the ruling involving the fire-works stand will influence that plan. City councilors have said they’re opposed to a casino.

LEGISLATURE: Count Has Been Rising Since Initial Tally in 2009

By Walker Orenstein

The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Now that the family of 11-year-old Brian Phil-lips has found a place to live after spending about a year homeless, doing homework comes without fighting the distracting commo-tion of living in shelters.

"I can do my homework peacefully, study peacefully with no noise," the fifth-grader said during a recent interview at First Place Scholars in Seattle, his tuition-free, private elementary school in the city's Central Dis-trict neighborhood. The school

has a history of serving low-in-come students, many who are homeless or at risk of becom-ing homeless.

Phillips is no longer homeless after moving in with his grand-mother.

But esti-mates from the state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruc-tion show more students are hav-ing difficulty finding permanent housing. The number of homeless youth attending public schools in Washington is rising: there were about 35,500 in 2015, up from 32,500 the year before. The count has been rising since the initial tally of 20,780 in 2009. The office says some of the increase might be because of more accurate data as the counts went on.

Lawmakers in Olympia are

pushing bills that seek to reduce the number of homeless youth and help those who need a per-manent place to live, but the suc-cess of bills has been varied.

"Everyone sees the data and says it's terrible that we just sit back and do nothing," said Sen. David Frockt, a Democrat from Seattle who is sponsoring Sen-ate Bill 6298. The proposal seeks money to create a grant program aimed at providing money for housing assistance, transporta-tion, emergency shelter, rent and providing social workers dedi-cated to homeless students.

The grant program would award $2 million to school dis-tricts in both 2017 and 2018, paid from the state's general fund be-cause of lack of political will to

raise money through means like taxes, Frockt said.

But after being approved by a committee, Frockt's bill has lost traction.

A similar bill reintroduced from 2015, House Bill 1682, re-cently passed the House on a 68-28 vote. Frockt, sponsor of its counterpart in his chamber, said he doesn't expect the Senate to pay for the program.

Some Senate Republicans that control the chamber say they have higher priorities to pay for such as preventing wildfires and repairing damage from them. But this year, there isn't extra money to spend, said Sen. Linda Evans Parlette, R-Wenatchee.

"There are so many issues we would like to fund in the supple-

mental budget," she said.First Place stands out in

providing services for home-less students and is an example of what it takes to properly aid them, according to Dawn Ma-son, president of the school's board. The private school has a small student-to-staff ratio and a number of social services includ-ing 16 units of subsidized, on-site housing, all provided mostly by private donations.

In public school districts, there are liaisons dedicated to working with homeless youth because of the federal McKinney-Vento Edu-cation of Homeless Children and Youth Assistance Act. The law provides about $950,000 a year for district programs that serve homeless students, according to

the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Districts are stretched thin, though, Frockt said.

Public schools in Kent get no money from McKinney-Vento because the available funds are distributed through a competi-tive grant process, according to the district's director of cat-egorical programs Rona Popp. That means the district spends "thousands and thousands" out of pocket to pay for staff and trans-portation required by the act. Just 24 of 295 school districts in Washington received McKinney-Vento money for a three-year pe-riod starting in 2013.

Kent relies on commu-nity organizations to help get after-school food, housing and clothing for homeless students because the district can't do so it-self. Popp said the district wants at least one social worker dedi-cated to helping homeless fami-lies, because academic counsel-ors in schools are doing both jobs, and "there's a lot of needs" in each school.

"We need to provide them with the ability to go to someone to spend time looking for hous-ing, connect with social services and other state agencies that can help them," she said.

At First Place, Phillips talked about his experience on break from his martial arts class. He was wearing a white karate uni-form, and his voice perked up when talking about his love for drawing and where he's looking to attend middle school.

His daily routine is differ-ent now that he has permanent housing:

"Less difficult, not moving from one place to another."

Lacey Teacher Who Tackled Shooter Cancels Campaign for StatehouseDISILLUSIONED: Final Straw Came as Brady Olson Was Denied an Opportunity to Speak at a Recent Democratic Function

By Lisa Pemberton

The Olympian

Less than a month after an-nouncing a bid for a seat in the Legislature, North Thurston High School teacher-turned-hero Brady Olson has decided to scrap his campaign.

He was running as a Demo-crat for a House seat in the 22nd Legislative District.

“In the short time that I have been running, I’ve been disil-lusioned beyond anything I can describe,” Olson posted Sunday night on Facebook. “… I guess I’m too old-school for this cur-rent political game and how it is played.”

The government and civics teacher said he plans to refund 100 percent of his campaign do-nations, which had reached near-ly $7,000.

“From the get-go, people in

my own party made it abun-dantly clear to me that they did not want me in this race because I would be upsetting the apple cart,” Olson wrote on Facebook.

“It was clearly someone else’s turn to have this seat, and I hadn’t paid my dues. In fact, I was even told, ‘You cannot win this without us,’ and this sadly was before anyone even asked

me my opinions on the issues or about why I was running.”

Olson told The Olympian that the tipping point was Sat-urday, during a Champagne brunch fundraiser hosted by Thurston County Democrats. He said the candidates lined up to introduce themselves, but he was told he wasn’t allowed to ad-dress the crowd.

“They said I hadn’t filled out the proper paperwork to say I was a Democrat,” Olson said.

Thurston County Democrats chairwoman Katie Nelson said the party has a vetting process candidates must go through to be eligible for “campaign servic-es,” which include speaking at its functions.

“We treat everybody equally,” Nelson said. “If you had been through the vetting process, you were allowed to speak. If you hadn’t been through the vetting process, you weren’t allowed to speak.”

She said about five people at the event hadn’t been vetted and weren’t allowed to give one-minute speeches at the event. She said she encouraged attendees to meet with all of the candidates who were there to learn more about their issues.

Nelson said she hadn’t heard about Olson’s decision to end his campaign.

“I think it’s unfortunate,” she said. “I am all about getting new people involved in the party. … I wish he would have reached out to me or someone on the execu-tive board.”

In April, Olson tackled and

restrained a student who fired a gun at North Thurston High School.

He has received numerous awards and special recognition for the act, including the Gover-nor’s Lifesaving Award.

Campaign volunteer Lora Kreidler-Budd said she was at Saturday’s event and was sad-dened by how the party treated Olson.

“He saved lives that day, and people really need to think about that,” she said. “What he did was amazing. Imagine what he could do in the Legislature? … I think they really missed out.”

Kreidler-Budd said she and other supporters have begun talking about how they can work to get Olson elected to the Legis-lature as a write-in candidate.

“I think there are a lot of other people who will definitely be writing him in too,” she said.

Meantime, other candidates campaigning for the seat now held by Rep. Chris Reykdal in-clude Brad Banks, a Lacey Dem-ocrat; Franklin Edwards III, an Olympia carpenter; and Laurie Dolan, a former teacher, school administrator and aide to former Gov. Chris Gregoire.

Former Seattle IRS Agent Convicted of Bribery Charge

SEATTLE (AP) — Jurors have convicted a former Internal Revenue Service agent of taking a $20,000 bribe from a medical marijuana dispensary owner.

The Seattle Times reported Paul G. Hurley of Seattle will be sentenced May 13 on two felony charges. He faces up to 15 years in prison.

The Associated Press report-ed Hurley audited Seattle dispen-sary Have a Heart Compassion Care last year.

Prosecutors say Hurley re-quested the payment and dispen-sary owner Ryan Kunkel agreed to pay it, later contacting author-ities.

Kunkel participated in a sting operation, and Hurley was ar-rested after the second meeting.

The former Internal Revenue Service agent resigned days later, writing a letter saying he let ev-eryone down.

Hurley's attorneys had ar-gued Kunkel offered their cli-ent an accounting job and the $20,000 payment had no impact to his official duties.

Idaho Hiking Reopens, With Hikers Warned Not to Feed Goats

CLARK FORK, Idaho (AP) — A hiking trail in northern Idaho reopened Saturday, but with an admonishment to hikers: Don't feed the goats.

The U.S. Forest Service closed Scotchman Peak Trail in Kaniksu National Forest last fall after human handouts had made mountain goats aggressive.

One of the hoofed animals bit a hiker. Others had tried to heat-butt hikers in an attempt to get food. The agency said some hikers had even let the goats eat from their hands.

But the goats have since had time to find other food sources.

Visitors should practice good goat etiquette, the Forest Service said. That means not feeding the wild animals and educating hik-ers that do.

Yakima Police Chief Says Pot Sales Would Increase Crime

YAKIMA (AP) — Yakima's police chief has voiced opposi-

tion to a proposal that would al-low retail sales of marijuana in the city.

The Yakima Herald-Republic reported the City Council voted earlier this month to start the process of lifting Yakima's ban on marijuana businesses. Chief Dominic Rizzi Jr. says allowing pot shops in the city would send the wrong message to kids and lead to an increase in crime.

Councilwoman Kathy Cof-fey has asked city staff to look into the effects marijuana has on crime before any action is taken.

Yakima's ban on pot busi-nesses came after a majority of city voters opposed the 2012 ini-tiative that legalized marijuana in the state.

The city's only marijuana shop was open for a brief stint last year after Jaime Camps un-successfully challenged the ban.

By The Columbian Editorial Board

The issue of mental health care in Washington has gar-nered plenty of attention already this year — if not yet any solu-tions.

Last week, U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman gave the state Department of Social and Health Services until May 27 to fix problems that force defendants who might need psy-chiatric care to spend months in jail awaiting competency evalu-ations and treatment. In 2014, Pechman ruled that the practice of “psychiatric boarding” — keeping defendants in emergen-cy rooms that are ill-equipped to serve them while awaiting evalu-ation — was unconstitutional. Her latest decision gives the state more time for compliance, but

maintains the pressure.Meanwhile, the Legislature

has responded to Gov. Jay In-slee’s call to add $137 million to mental health funding with a series of proposals. Among them is House Bill 2453, which would create a bipartisan, bicameral committee to oversee the state’s two main psychiatric facilities. While the bill appears to have little shelf life, primary sponsor Rep. Laurie Jinkins, D-Tacoma, said: “The citizens of the state deserve a mental health system that works, and it’s not working.”

That, in a nutshell, sums up Washington’s conundrum over providing for some of its most vulnerable citizens. Positive steps have been taken — includ-ing approval of two psychiatrists

from Western State Hospital near Tacoma being assigned to the Clark County Jail to fa-cilitate evaluations — but much work remains. And the problem is that the issue shows no sign of diminishing.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recently issued a report that calls for changes in how the nation addresses men-tal health and mental illness. Among the most urgent recom-mendations is that all Ameri-can adults should be routinely screened for depression. The Washington Post reported on

“the devastating toll mental ill-ness is taking around the world. Researchers have noted a surge in diagnoses in recent years re-lated to the stress of modern life and fears of terrorism, violence and poverty.”

The task force report says that an estimated $22.8 billion was spent on depression treat-ment in 2009, and lost produc-tivity cost an estimated $23 billion in 2013. “Depression has a major effect on quality of life for the patient and affects family members, especially children,” according to the report.

Washington is not immune to that growing trend. While some might suggest that this represents another attempt to coddle the populace, it is dif-ficult to argue that the stresses of modern life are not taking a toll on our health. As Inslee said in proposing increased spending on the issue: “We know we have to do more for mental health in this state. We have urgent short-term needs, but we also need to take a long view on how to build

a stronger mental health system.”Or, as The Columbian has

noted editorially: “Inadequate mental health care is not only a moral failing, it also leads to in-creased expenditures for home-less services, corrections and the court system.”

With the state facing court orders regarding care for crimi-nal defendants — along with federal scrutiny regarding the operation of Western State Hospital — now is the time for some fixes to be carved out. The bright spotlight can illuminate the darkest corners of a system in need of assistance.

Now is the time for lawmak-ers to provide help for the state’s mental health system. Merely putting a Band-Aid on it won’t be sufficient.

A Health Care Priority for the State LegislatureOther Views

OpinionMain 8 • The Chronicle, Centralia/Chehalis, Wash., Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2016

As we watched first Iowa and then New Hampshire win-now the candidates running for president, I wondered why the state of Washington doesn’t do something so we at least have a say before most candidates drop out.

But the major political par-ties must agree

… and that’s un-likely to happen.

Last sum-mer Secretary of State Kim Wyman and Republicans on a commit-tee formed to set the state’s presidential primary tried to move the date forward from May 24 to March 8, a week after Super Tuesday when the greatest number of states hold primaries. If our state were in play, candi-dates would campaign here and we could actually be relevant.

But Democrats on the com-mittee opposed moving the primary forward, insisting that they select all of their delegates for the Democratic National Convention at caucuses, rather than relying on the presidential primary election. For a party that claims to be populists, it’s pathetic to ignore the voice of people voting in a primary and listen instead to the rela-tive handfuls who attend their March 26 caucuses.

So for Democrats, the May 24 presidential primary is simply a meaningless beauty contest.

Republicans irritate me this year too because they’re not planning to even hold a straw poll at their caucuses this Sat-urday. They’ll select delegates to the county conventions and discuss the party platform. So, unless you want to serve as a delegate or hope to influence the party platform, there’s no point in attending.

What’s interesting is that the Republicans plan to allocate all of Washington’s delegates to the Republican National Conven-tion in July based on the results of the primary, but the delegates will be selected at the state Re-publican Convention, which takes place the week before the primary.

It seems to me we should either make the presidential primary relevant by moving it forward, which is my preference,

or ditch it completely, save the taxpayers money, and simply hold early caucuses.

Toledo Tea and the Hunt for a Hat

I planned to attend the Royal High Tea at Toledo Senior Cen-ter Sunday, where Anna Melkers, the lovely Latvian octogenarian who hosts the tea each year, in-sists men wear ties and women don dresses and hats.

I looked in my closet Satur-day and shook my head. Hats? Who wears hats nowadays?

I doubted that my burgundy corduroy cap advertising the Hellroaring Saloon & Eatery in Whitefish, Montana, would suffice. Melkers, a classy lady, might not let me in!

Then I burst out laughing. I’d probably be kicked out if I wore the brown furry moose hat from my skiing heyday, when I belonged to the Bergfreunde Ski Club in Portland and our infa-mous “moose” herd schussed down the slopes at high speeds.

So, I searched a thrift shop, Goodwill, and Centralia outlet stores. I asked at the Dress Barn, where a clerk suggested I try Wilson’s Leather. I entered Cen-terville Western Store, where I found adorable cowboy hats and cute little caps like mine from Montana. Hmm … again, would Melkers approve?

Finally I found straw fedora-like hats at the VF Outlet, which would have to do. I bought two — one black and one straw-colored — and paid less than $5 total. What a bargain!

What we don’t do to sip a little tea with friends. Oh, and then I had to miss the tea party to deal with a work crisis.

Supreme Court

I was heartbroken to learn of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s death Saturday, which leaves the court without its most ardent conservative. He was a well-respected jurist with great reverence for the U.S. Con-stitution he was sworn to uphold. His death makes the outcome of the coming presidential election even more important.

In 1962, songwriter Bob Dylan sang, “The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind.” It was later sung at Vietnam War protests, suggesting that the ambiguous answer to ending war and living in peace and harmony was

“blowin’ in the wind” … some-where.

Today, wind power is an important part of our nation’s electricity gen-erating system, and it will be essential in the decades ahead. The question is, how much of it can we reason-ably produce to meet our nation’s growing electrical demands?

While people support wind power, they don’t like seeing thousands of acres lined with rows of 500-foot “windmills.” Protests are growing and stretch from Vermont to California.

In Vermont, 24 bipartisan legislators introduced a bill that would ban wind projects over 500 kilowatts. Since the average single industrial turbine has a 1.5-megawatt capacity, new wind farms would be toast.

Last year in California, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to ban large wind turbines in the county’s unincorporated area. Board Supervisor Michael Antonovich told The Wall Street Journal that “wind turbines cre-ate visual blight” and contradict the county’s rural dark skies

ordinance in areas such as the Santa Monica Mountains.

In Washington, protesters tried to stop even the small family-owned Whistling Ridge project on wind-swept, logged-over timberland near Bingen. The 50-turbine project was tucked behind the hills and out of the visual impact area of the Columbia River Gorge. Only a handful of residents would see a few wind turbines when looking out their back windows. That project is in limbo.

In the Northwest, drivers on our east-west interstate high-ways see miles of wind turbines on what was once open prairie. In fact, the nation’s second-larg-est wind farm, Shepherds Flat, covers 30 square miles along In-terstate 84 near Arlington, Ore.

The good news is, Shepherds Flat produces enough electric-ity each year to supply 235,000 households and reduces carbon emissions by the equivalent of taking 200,000 passenger ve-hicles off road. By contrast, its power output is one-quarter that of Grand Coulee Dam.

If America is to double its wind power production to 10 percent by 2020, it will need many more wind farms the size of Shepherds Flat. Setting the goal of 30 percent by 2030, as the U.S. Department of Energy envisions, is pie in the sky.

The pertinent question for wind advocates is, where are the acceptable and available sites where the airstream is powerful and consistent enough to turn

turbines? Remember, many of the prime locations are already in production.

Wind and solar power gen-eration must be augmented with power plants that produce elec-tricity at all hours of the day and all year around. Today, that con-sistent production comes largely from coal, natural gas, nuclear and hydropower plants.

The good news is, the Ameri-can Wind Energy Association says the cost of wind-generated electricity has fallen by two-thirds in six years. Costs of wind genera-tion have been a formidable bar-rier. Despite costs and growing siting problems, American wind now powers the equivalent of 19 million typical American homes.

In Washington, the two larg-est utilities, Puget Sound Energy and Snohomish County PUD, use about 8 percent wind power to serve customers’ electricity needs. Seattle City Light reports 4 percent of its electric power comes from wind.

The bottom line is, our na-tion needs electricity from all sources. The key is to continue to make all energy sources more environmentally friendly and affordable.

In reality, the answer to our energy future is only partially

“blowin’ wind.”•••

When It Comes to Electricity, Answer’s Not Entirely in Wind

COMMENTARY: Back to Business

community conversation, with dwindling numbers and the lack of a police chief.

The department largely spurred a three-way race for mayor after former police chief John Hutchings was fired un-expectedly by Brodersen, sur-prising much of the council and many residents in the commu-nity.

For Fournier, still having a police department is a success. He plans to continually grow the department to numbers it has seen in prior years.

“The fact that we still have a police department is important and I think that is a big accom-plishment considering where we were in the discussions we were having three years ago,” he said. Fournier added that factions within the city government were moving in the direction of con-tracting police services out to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office.

The search for a new police chief has started over, the list of seven candidates now scrapped so a fresh search can begin.

Fournier told The Chronicle the city made a conditional offer to the top candidate, but he with-drew his application on Thursday night, citing discrepancies be-

tween information he received on his compensation package, includ-ing his benefits and health care.

“The process had kind of yielded different answers to the same questions at different times and that caused him to kind of get a little apprehensive,” Fourni-er said.

At the time of the interview, Fournier had not yet spoken with the council on how to pro-ceed forward, but without a cur-rent election, he said the process would be different.

“It’s not going to be something that is going to be metered in campaign politics,” he said. “I think it’s a bad idea to try to do a process like that when there is an election going on; I wouldn’t advise anybody to put their city in that kind of situation.”

The other six candidates for the police chief position did not come recommended through the process, hence why Fournier wants to start the search again. He plans to talk with the coun-cil to once again find an interim chief while the search continues.

As for police officers, the de-partment is back down to one officer. About two months ago a new officer was hired but he re-cently resigned after deciding he was not interested in being a cop, Fournier said.

The city has applications on hand, and is currently accepting more for lateral officers.

Splitting the City Clerk and Treasurer Position

Fournier currently has a pro-posal before the council to sepa-rate the duties of the clerk and treasurer position.

The city has operated with one person undertaking both roles.

“On my assessment those are two very distinct disciplines that need to be put into two sepa-rate individuals to allow those individuals to really get good at them,” Fournier said.

He said in order to help the city with difficulties it may be having, he plans to create a structure that is more stable and allows for people to do their jobs to the fullest.

The current proposal would pay for the new position out of multiple accounts. Fournier is asking for an additional $30,000 a year, $10,000 of which would come from the general fund.

Other Changes: Economic Development

The city park is a trailhead to a large bike system, and Fournier plans to make visible improve-ments to the park. The mayor has talked with different land-scaping experts to try to find ways to improve the park.

He has also met with the Eco-nomic Development Council to

bring more agricultural infra-structure to the city.

Currently the city partici-pates in Thurston Bountiful Byway, which promotes agri-tourism in the rural parts of the county. Although a great begin-ning, Fournier wants to find ways to help agriculture produc-ers process, store, ship and mar-ket their goods.

Working closely with the Tenino Chamber of Commerce, Fournier wants to market Teni-no’s resources, such as its history and low overhead, to bring busi-nesses to empty storefronts in the city.

“I want to help the city struc-ture itself in a way that is sustain-able,” Fournier said. “We’ve had our share of issues and trials and I’m trying to diagnose the prob-lem the best I can and structure our kind of organization in a way that is going to provide more sta-bility.”

OVERALL, Fournier’s goal is to run a transparent and inclusive city that continues moving for-ward.

“That’s the main thing,” he said.

As a devout family man, he isn’t sure how long he will re-main in city government, al-though he said he always will be involved in some way or another.

“I’m not going to operate in office like I’m trying to get an-

other office, so I don’t want to think that way,” he said. “I want to kind of move forward not with reckless abandon but move forward without thinking about my future; I want to focus on the city’s future.”

OLYMPIA — A key educa-tion bill has had an amendment-riddled ride through three Sen-ate committees before earning consideration by the full Senate.

Senate Bill 6195 would insti-gate a task force to create recom-mendations to fully pay teach-ers for basic education. Ten-sions, however, emerged over the details in the bill, including when legisla-tors should take action on local school districts’ special levies.

Senate Democrats involved in creating the original bill and on the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Commit-tee maintain that Senate Re-publicans did not include them in changes to the bill. The bill passed through three commit-tees before placement on the floor calendar.

State Superintendent of Pub-lic Instruction Randy Dorn has opposed SB 6195 at each public hearing held by two of the com-mittees.

At the latest public hearing for an earlier version of the bill, a superintendent’s representative,

Dorn’s Chief of Staff Ken Kan-ikeberg, said, the bill “continues to defer the state’s obligation to fully fund basic education. The problem confronting the Legis-lature is not currently a lack of data. It is a lack of political will for the bodies and the governor to work this situation out.”

The court in 2012 declared the state was not fully funding basic education, a constitutional requirement, in what is known as the McCleary order. The court determined last August that the state was in contempt of that or-der and has since levied a daily $100,000 fine.

The court found teachers are underpaid by the state and that local districts, in order to make up the difference with competi-tive market salaries, use voter-approved levies to pay for basic education salaries. The court said using levy funds for basic education was unconstitutional because levies are an unreliable funding source.

Many local school districts’ replacement maintenance and operations levies were up for voter consideration in elections held Feb. 9 across the state. The vote-count will be finalized Feb. 19. The 134 districts with M&O ballot measures were asking vot-ers to approve $3.392 billion in special property tax levies to be collected over the next one to

four years to benefit more than 411,000 students. Additional school districts plan special levy votes April 12.

When a bipartisan work group of legislators convened to create the original SB 6195 last fall, they discovered they lacked data that separated the state’s support of teacher pay from local district’s additional funds.

The original bill creates a task force to determine how much of basic education has been funded by local levies. The group would produce recommendations for the next legislative session to meet the court’s mandate.

The bill in its present form re-quires legislative action to reduce school districts’ reliance on local levies to pay for basic education. The second substitute, which has been placed on the Senate floor calendar, defers the date for re-quired levy reform to Dec. 31, 2017.

In addition to creating the task force, the bill in its new form establishes another work group, which would create recommen-dations for district finance ac-count management, and would require the state auditor to re-view its internal auditing prac-tices.

“The intent of the substitute is to make the task force that stems from this bill … more successful,” Sen. Bruce Dammeier, R-Puyal-

lup, said during the Senate Ways and Means committee delibera-tion last week.

“Right now we don’t know what money is paying for what and that is an essential issue for the state to live up to its responsi-bility,” he added.

In the initial hearing and evaluation before the Senate Ear-ly Learning and K-12 Commit-tee, a substitute SB 6195 passed 5-4. The measure was further amended by the Senate Ways and Means Committee before earning a 13-10 approval vote.

In the House of Represen-tatives, HB 2366, a twin to the original Senate bill, passed on a 64-34 bipartisan vote Jan. 25, and carried only one amend-ment, so capital funds would not be used to supplement basic edu-cation funding. Its initial Senate hearing before the Early Learn-ing and K-12 Committee is Feb. 18.

“There’s information we need to gain from local school dis-tricts to solve the problem,” said Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, during the Senate Early Learning and K-12 executive session. “If this legislature is incapable of acting and that issue not be resolved, we’ll be in a worse situation in our public schools.”

Sen. Andy Billig, D-Spokane, said the action by the end of the 2017 legislative session is “key”

because “it keeps our promises to Washington's one million school children and has the best chance of getting us out of con-tempt of court.”

Billig was a member of the work group that created the bill. Sens. Doug Ericksen, Ann Riv-ers, and Christine Rolfes along with Reps. Pat Sullivan, Kristine Lytton, Chad Magendanz, and Adam Smith were also part of the pre-session work group.

Gov. Jay Inslee does not be-lieve the changes are adequate for student needs or to comply with the order of the Supreme Court. He said, “I’m very hopeful through good faith discussions that we can get back closer to where the bipartisan work group had a proposal.”

Requiring action by the 2017 legislative session, he said, was important to create an “expecta-tion and promise” to school kids and the court.

Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, said of addressing McCleary deadlines,

“We’re going to get a McCleary bill this year. It’s just a matter of when. Right now, everything is fluid. If this was an easy problem, the governor would have had a plan for us. The important thing is getting it right.”

then used his two-year stint at Centralia College to springboard into the wide world of academia. After leaving the Hub City with his high school diploma and as-sociate’s degree in hand, Pod-more made a stop at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C, before attaining his bachelor’s degree at Western Washington University. Later, Podmore add-ed a master’s degree in education from Lewis and Clark College Law School and an administra-tive license from Pacific Luther-an University.

“The very foundation of my post-secondary success lies in what seeds were planted while I was at Centralia College,” said Podmore in a news release from Centralia College. “For that, I am ever grateful for the instruction I received. Without it, I would

not have gotten where I am to-day. Centralia College played a pivotal role in unlocking my academic potential. I realized for the first time that maybe I could achieve beyond high school. ”

Podmore was the recipient of a Golden Apple Award in 1999. According to the website for KCTS, which presents the award in conjunction with PBS,

“The Golden Apple Awards hon-ors educators, programs and schools making a positive differ-ence in Washington state educa-tion.” Podmore was the first deaf teacher to receive the award, and in 2009 he became the first deaf American to garner National Board Professional Teaching Standards certification.

During the past 20 years Podmore has taught college-prep classes in science, technol-ogy, engineering and math, as well as American Sign Language, in Federal Way public schools. In the last four years he has been employed as an arts and humani-

ties professor at Bellevue College.Additionally, Podmore been

back to Washington, D.C., on oc-casion in order to work with the Professional Teaching Standards Foundation. Podmore works with a small group responsible for

drafting the standards for the ex-acting national board exams.

In the face of his lengthy aca-demic commitments, Podmore has also found time to get two books published, including an au-thorized biography on Academy

Award winning actress Marlee Matlin. He has also traveled to Guatemala on multiple occasions as part of humanitarian missions, during which he worked with the Mayan deaf population in the UNESCO village of Antigua.

“That road is highly used. It goes to several recreation areas and it’s our through access for the Forest Service,” explained Sarah Rockey, district engineer for the Forest Service. “We don’t have a schedule set yet but we’re still going through the process.”

According to Rockey, that process started when her depart-ment sent a list of 32 damaged sites to the Federal Highways Commission for approval. That list was approved for Emergen-cy Relief for Federally Owned roads (ERFO) funds on Jan. 29. Now the Forest Service must submit corresponding proj-ect reports to Western Federal Lands and wait for approval be-fore they can move forward with

repairs. Rockey noted that the deadline to submit those reports for review is April 29.

Forest Service Road 23 suf-fered extensive washouts at mile-posts 12.5 and 24. As a result the popular road is currently closed at mileposts 11 and 25. Additional flood-related clo-sures on Forest Service roads include Road 20 (milepost 5.8), 22 (milepost 5), 2322, 2324, 25 (milepost 11), 2513, 26 (milepost

8), 2750, 28 (milepost 9.1), 2809, 29 (milepost 7.6), 7605 (milepost 0.4), and 78 (milepost 1.6). Last-ly, Forest Road 2801 and Skate Creek Road (FR 52) are both closed for the winter.

“The damage was extensive,” said Rockey of Forest Road 23, which suffered even worse wash-outs during the floods of 1996. Rockey added that Forest Road 23 typically closes itself down during the winter due to snow

on the road. In normal years the road reopens itself once the snow melts sometime around June, but this year there is no telling when it will be back in shape.

“We don’t have a timeline yet as to when the 23 will be reopened, but we’re working as fast as we can,” said Rockey.

Storm Brings Record Rainfall, Flood Warnings to Northwest

SEATTLE (AP) — A Presi-dent’s Day storm brought record rainfall to the Pacific Northwest and sent rivers overflowing their banks in Western Washington on Tuesday.

The National Weather Ser-vice says the storm system, known as a “Pineapple Express” is now pointed toward Oregon.

The weather service had flood warnings in effect for cer-tain rivers in Clallam, King, Kit-titas, Mason, Snohomish and Whatcom counties on Tuesday morning.

KOMO-TV reported at least 16 roads were closed on Tues-day morning in Snohomish and King counties because of flood-ing. The water was several feet deep over several roads, mostly around Duvall and Carnation.

KCPQ-TV reported record one-day rain totals for Monday were set in Bellingham and Quil-layute near Forks. The Belling-ham Airport reported 1.64 inches of rain, breaking the old record of 1.02 inches set back in 1986.

The north Washington coast reported 3.34 inches of rain near Forks. The old record for Monday was 3.05 inches set 35 years ago.

Snowmobiler Dies After Crashing Near West Yellowstone

WEST YELLOWSTONE, Mont. (AP) — Gallatin County authorities say a man has died in a snowmobile crash near West Yellowstone.

The Sheriff ’s Office said in a news release that 53-year-old Edward Collins Eldridge, of Duvall, Washington, had been snowmobiling with a group when he died Thursday.

Authorities had received a re-port that Eldridge struck a tree Thursday morning. About 15 minutes after the initial call, the group reported that Eldrige had stopped breathing and that they had begun administering CPR.

The Sheriff ’s Office, the U.S. Forest Service and the West Yel-lowstone division of Gallatin County Search and Rescue had responded to the incident.

Emergency personnel took over and began performing CPR on Eldridge, but their efforts were unsuccessful. He was pro-nounced dead at the scene.

The crash remains under in-vestigation.

Man Whose Fraud Case Prompted Legal Changes Gets Four Years

SEATTLE (AP) — A man whose unauthorized use of his clients’ money prompted chang-es in Washington state law has

been sentenced to four years in prison — even more than fed-eral prosecutors asked for.

David Richard Dance, of Hayden, Idaho, formerly ran a Bellevue, Washington, business known as an “exchange facilita-tor.” He held money for people who had sold investment prop-erties until they reinvested that money in other properties — a practice that allowed them to postpone paying taxes on the sales.

In 2011, without permission, Dance invested clients’ money in what he thought were devel-opment projects, including a golf course. He received pay-ments totaling $150,000 from the purported developer for do-ing so, prosecutors said.

But Dance himself wound up being defrauded, and rather than report the crime to author-ities, he turned his business into a Ponzi scheme in an ill-advised effort to cover up the losses and repay his clients.

Ten clients lost more than $3.2 million in all, in some cases their life savings. One of the victims, retired cattle rancher Howard Asmussen, of Pateros, blamed his wife’s death on the stress.

The case prompted Wash-ington lawmakers to tighten oversight of exchange facili-tators in 2012. Among other things, the legislation required that any withdrawals from es-crow accounts holding exchange funds be authenticated by the client as well as the facilitator.

“At the end of our lives, we was robbed of $850,000 by a white-collared criminal,” As-mussen told a Senate commit-tee in 2012. “This is something we worked our life at. We’re not capable of starting over again. We worked without vacations

— without vacations! — for 60 years.”

Dance pleaded guilty to a count of wire fraud. His law-yers asked for a one-year sen-tence, noting that the 64-year-old grandfather of 17 had no criminal history, did not enrich himself and even had a letter of support from Hayden’s mayor, Steven Griffitts, who credited Dance with leading commu-nity service projects since mov-ing to the city in 2012. Among those projects was coordinating a group of 400 people to paint and repair the high school foot-ball stadium in nearby Kellogg, Griffitts said.

“He is genuine, honest and intelligent,” the mayor wrote to the court. “He serves his com-munities with no payment or reward.”

Prosecutors sought a three-and-a-half-year term, which was below the guideline range of four years, three months to five years, three months. In a sen-tencing recommendation, assis-tant U.S. attorney Hugo Torres agreed that Dance never set out to defraud his clients.

But, the prosecutor said, Dance’s actions after the pur-

ported developer, Brett Amen-dola, turned out to be a fraud compounded the problem. Amendola was convicted in federal court in Virginia and was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Had Mr. Dance reported the Amendola fraud immediately, his clients’ losses would have to-taled $1.3 million, Torres wrote. Instead, the Ponzi scheme re-sulted in losses to additional clients and totaled more than twice that amount.

Judge Ricardo S. Martinez’s sentence, handed down Feb. 4, stunned the defendant, his fam-ily and the mayor. Dance told The Associated Press this week that his attorney didn’t have ad-equate time to respond to some assertions made by prosecutors before the sentencing, and he expected to file a motion for a new sentencing.

“We’re not bitter,” Dance said. “We hope he’ll correct the sen-tence once he gets a more bal-anced view. But it’s not the end of the world. Nothing perma-nently goes wrong in your life if you’ve got the love and support of your family.”

Dance has agreed to repay his victims; the judge set a resti-tution hearing for May 5.

City of Vancouver’s Financial Outlook ‘Very Stable’

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — Vancouver officials say the city has made some major strides financially, which will help it battle a mild recession that’s expected next year.

The Columbian reported Deputy Finance Director Na-tasha Ramras says Vancouver’s financial outlook for the next six years appears “very stable” and has come a long way since the Great Recession.

The city reported a 32 per-cent increase in sales tax reve-nue from 2013 to 2015, and mar-ijuana excise taxes are predicted to contribute $500,000 annually.

But finance officials say oil prices and other factors will cause a minor recession in 2017, which is expected to bring sales tax revenue down 7.2 percent.

Ramras has also warned city officials of a $7.2 million budget gap forecast for 2022. She says in-creasing parking rates and utility taxes could help close the deficit.

Body Found Identified as Missing Mountlake Terrace Woman

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE (AP) — The body of a woman found in a Mountlake Terrace culvert has been identified as Cheryl DeBoer, who has been missing since Feb. 8.

The Seattle Times reported that Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center officials identi-fied the body. They said it’s their missing employee, 54-year-old DeBoer.

Police at the scene have not confirmed the identity.

However, Han Nachtrieb, vice president of Fred Hutch hu-man resources, released a state-ment stating that the body had been identified as DeBoer’s.

Searchers have been comb-ing neighborhoods, parks and woods in the area since DeBoer failed to show up at work at Fred Hutch last Monday.

Police Cmdr. Kevin Pickard says at about 12:30 p.m. Sun-day, a group of volunteers found the body in a large, grassy area

about a mile and a half south-east of where DeBoer’s vehicle was located.

Nation/WorldNation in Brief

Tornados in South; Snow, Sleet in East; Record Heat in West

CENTURY, Fla. (AP) — A treacherous mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain turned morn-ing commutes to icy misery Tuesday for many returning from a long holiday weekend in the Northeast, a day after sus-pected twisters tore through parts of the South.

At least three deaths were re-ported on slick roads, all in Vir-ginia, and motorists battled haz-ardous road conditions over a wide area from the Mid-Atlantic states through Pennsylvania to northern New England.

In the West, California and Arizona braced for more record warm temperatures after bask-ing in the high 80s and low 90s on Monday. Millions along the East Coast, meanwhile, were still shivering from a deep freeze.

In Washington, the federal government was opening three hours late after freezing rain coated the capital city in ice — atop the several inches of snow that fell Monday.

Obama to Wrap Summit With Southeast Asian Leaders

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — President Barack Obama and leaders of Southeast Asian nations are wrapping up a two-day summit conceived to show U.S. seriousness about staying engaged and keeping a high profile in a region where a ris-ing China has rattled American allies.

Obama and the leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations will spend Tues-day discussing regional security issues. They include counterter-rorism and China’s bold territo-rial claims to disputed waters of the South China Sea, moves that have sounded international alarms and heightened tensions with some association members.

The U.S. maintains these dis-putes should be resolved peace-fully according to international law, a stance Obama emphasized Monday in welcoming leaders of ASEAN’s 10-nation bloc: Indo-nesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia.

Catholic College President Rejects Demand He Resign

EMMITSBURG, Md. (AP) — Mount St. Mary’s University President Simon Newman reject-ed the faculty’s demand for his resignation Monday after a ma-jority of students expressed sup-port for his leadership, including a bluntly pragmatic plan to boost the academic ranking of the na-tion’s second-oldest Catholic university.

“I’m not going to stop,” New-man told scores of cheering students rallying outside the administration building. Al-though classes were canceled by a blustery snowstorm, students showed up with signs reading, “I Stand by Newman” and “Team Newman.” They listened to brief speeches by Newman and stu-dent government leaders, and then invited their peers to dis-cuss the dispute at a nearby caf-eteria.

Hawaiian Canoe on Worldwide Journey Stops Next In Caribbean

HONOLULU (AP) — A tra-ditional Polynesian voyaging ca-noe is on its way to the Caribbe-an after completing a 3,500-mile trek across the Atlantic Ocean.

The Hawaiian canoe known as the Hokulea left Brazil on Friday for the next part of its around-the-world journey, re-ported the Honolulu Star-Ad-vertiser. The crew is expecting an 18-day, 2,400-mile trip to the island of St. John, which is part of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The double-hulled canoe left Hawaii last year.

World in Brief

Iraqi Officials Say 3 Americans Abducted in Baghdad Are Free

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi of-ficials say three Americans who were abducted in Baghdad last month have been freed.

The three officials, speaking on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to brief the press, said Tuesday that the Amer-icans were freed by the Iraqi intel-ligence service.

They say the three are in good health and have been handed over to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

The embassy could not imme-diately be reached for comment.

The embassy confirmed in January that several Americans had gone missing. Iraqi authori-ties said the three were kidnapped from a “suspicious apartment” without elaborating.

IS Faces Budget Crunch, Killing Perks and Slashing Salaries

BEIRUT (AP) — Faced with a cash shortage in its so-called ca-liphate, the Islamic State group has slashed salaries across the region, asked Raqqa residents to pay util-ity bills in black market American dollars, and is now releasing de-tainees for a price of $500 a person.

The extremists who once bragged about minting their own currency are having a hard time meeting expenses, thanks to co-alition airstrikes and other mea-sures that have eroded millions from their finances since last fall. Having built up loyalty among militants with good salaries and honeymoon and baby bonuses, the group has stopped providing even the smaller perks: free energy drinks and Snickers bars.

Necessities are dwindling in its urban centers, leading to shortages and widespread inflation, accord-ing to exiles and those still suffering under its rule. Interviews gathered over several weeks included three exiles with networks of family and acquaintances still in the group’s stronghold in Raqqa, residents in Mosul, and analysts who say IS is turning to alternative funding streams, including in Libya.

Russia Denies Its Warplanes Hit MSF Hospital In Syria

BEIRUT (AP) — Russia on Tuesday rebuffed claims that its warplanes struck a hospital sup-ported by Doctors Without Bor-ders in northern Syria in airstrikes the previous day that killed at least nine as Syrian government forces and a predominantly Kurdish co-alition made gains against rivals in the country’s north.

In Moscow, President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters the hospital report was another case in which those who make accusations against Russia cannot back them up.

The Britain-based Syrian Ob-servatory for Human Rights had said Russian warplanes targeted the hospital in Idlib province on Monday, destroying it and killing nine people.

The makeshift clinic was sup-ported by the international aid group, also known by its French acronym MSF.

UN: Stopping Zika May Require Genetically Modified Insects

GENEVA (AP) — It may be necessary to use controversial methods like genetically modified mosquitoes to wipe out the insects that are now spreading Zika across the Americas, the World Health Organization said Tuesday.

The virus has been linked to a spike in babies born with abnor-mally small heads, or microceph-aly, in Brazil and French Polynesia. WHO has declared Zika a global emergency even though there is no definitive proof it is causing the birth defects.

Next week, WHO chief Dr. Margaret Chan will travel to Brazil to discuss Zika and microcephaly with the country’s health minister and other officials, spokeswoman Fadela Chaib said on Tuesday.

LOS ANGELES — Tay-lor Swift’s official switch from country to pop with her multi-hit, best-selling “1989” album brought the singer her second Grammy Award win for album of the year.

Swift was shocked when she won the night’s top prize, beating out Kendrick Lamar, Chris Sta-pleton, Alabama Shakes and the Weeknd. Swift used her speech to encourage young women who feel defeated at times or discour-aged by others.

“THERE WILL BE people along the way that will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. You just focus on the work and don’t let those people side-track you,” she said.

Her speech could be directed partly to Kanye West, who re-cently said in a new song that he made Swift famous after he stole her microphone at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

Beyonce also seemed to make a statement when she presented the final award for the night, re-

cord of the year.“Art is the unapologetic cel-

ebration of culture through self-expression. It can impact people in a variety of ways for different reasons at different times. Some will react. Some will respond. And some will be moved,” she said, seeming to speak to those who were critical of her Super Bowl performance of the anthem,

“Formation.”Swift, who won the album of

the year Grammy for “Fearless” in 2009, walked away Monday with three awards, including best pop vocal album and music vid-eo for “Bad Blood,” at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Alabama Shakes also won three awards, though Lamar was the night’s big winner with five.

He won best rap album for “To Pimp a Butterfly” as well as rap performance, rap song, rap/sung performance and music video.

Along with his wins, Lamar also had a show-stopping mo-ment when he took the stage.

He started as he appeared beaten, in handcuffs, with chains around his hands and a bruise on his eyes. He went on to fuse rap,

jazz, reggae and African sounds for a commanding performance as he rapped “The Blacker the Berry” and the Grammy-nomi-nated “Alright” passionately. He ended with a map of Africa, and the city of Compton imprinted in it.

“Hip-hop, Ice Cube, this for hip-hop, this for Snoop Dogg ...this for Nas. We will live forever, believe that,” said Lamar onstage when he won best rap album.

MARK RONSON and Bruno Mars won two awards for “Uptown Funk,” including record of the year. Ronson gave a shout-out to Prince, James Brown and George Clinton for being leaders in funk.

“This is dedicated to the fans right here,” Mars added.

Mars introduced Adele, who sang “All I Ask,” which they wrote together for her new al-bum “25.” She was accompanied with a piano behind her, but the audio sounded off and appeared to throw off her performance.

“The piano mics fell onto the piano strings, that’s what the guitar sound was. It made it sound out of tune,” Adele tweet-ed. “(Expletive) happens.”

Senate GOP to Obama:Don’t Make Court PickBy Donna Cassata

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans united behind Ma-jority Leader Mitch McConnell in insisting that President Barack Obama’s successor fill the Su-preme Court vacancy created by Justice Antonin Scalia’s death. Democrats looking to reclaim the Senate majority immediately accused them of putting politics ahead of their constitutional re-sponsibility.

Vulnerable GOP incumbents in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Ohio — all states that Obama won twice — echoed McConnell’s contention that the winner of the presidency in November’s election should choose the next jurist. Demo-crats counter that Obama is president until Jan. 20, 2017, and has every constitutional right to nominate Scalia’s replacement.

Obama has said he will fulfill his constitutional duty and nom-inate a replacement in due time. His Democratic allies made it clear that denying the president that right would be an unprec-edented step and argued it would enshrine the GOP as “the most nakedly partisan, obstruction-ist and irresponsible majority in history.”

“By ignoring its constitution-al mandate, the Senate would sabotage the highest court in the United States and aim a procedural missile at the foun-

dation of our system of checks and balances,” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in a scathing op-ed in Tuesday’s Washington Post.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, who sits on the Judiciary Committee and has been mentioned on occasion in the past as a possible candidate for the high court, said Tuesday

“there’s no need” to bring forth a nominee to succeed Scalia in the politically charged environment of a presidential election year.

“The Constitution doesn’t say that you have to do this in a certain time constraint,” he told CNN.

Said GOP Sen. Rob Port-man of Ohio: “I believe the best thing for the country is to trust the American people to weigh in on who should make a lifetime appointment that could reshape the Supreme Court for genera-tions.”

Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania said “Obama in-sists that he will nominate some-one for the court. He certainly has the authority to do so. But

let’s be clear — his nominee will be rejected by the Senate.”

Sen. Ted Cruz, the Texan who has practiced before the high court and is seeking the Republi-can presidential nomination, has made filling Scalia’s vacancy the centerpiece of his campaign.

Senate Republicans have the numbers in this consequential

“advice and consent” fight.Republicans outnumber

Democrats 11-9 on the Judiciary Committee, which would hold confirmation hearings and vote on whether to send the nomi-nee to the full Senate. The GOP holds the majority, 54-46, and Democrats face an almost insur-mountable task in trying to get 14 Republicans to join them in breaking a certain filibuster.

Beyond math is the political calculus. Control of the Senate is at stake this election and Demo-crats looking to unseat Port-man and Toomey — along with New Hampshire’s Kelly Ayotte and Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson — have seized on their call to wait until next year.

“Obama insists that he will nominate someone for the court. He certainly has the authority to do so. But let’s be clear — his

nominee will be rejected by the Senate.”Sen. Pat Toomey

JUSTICE: Jury Ruled Jarred Ha Used Self Defense When Killing Someone in What Began as a Dispute over Parking

By Sara Jean Green

The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — In the weeks before Christmas, Jarred Ha ago-nized over his decision, filling three pages with charts outlining the pros and cons of accepting a plea deal or taking his chances at trial.

If he took the deal, Ha would still have a felony conviction on his record with no guarantee he wouldn’t also face up to 90 days in jail. But if he went to trial and lost, he was looking at 12 years in prison.

The stakes couldn’t have been higher for the 22-year-old aspiring accountant, who got kicked out of the University of Washington and booted from his apartment within a day of his arrest last year for stabbing a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.

“I made the decision the day before Christmas Eve. I was looking at my charts and I felt like I didn’t do anything wrong,” Ha said in an interview. “I had to risk it.”

Charged with first-degree as-sault with a deadly weapon and fourth-degree assault for punch-ing a young woman in the face, Ha claimed self-defense — and was found not guilty by a King County jury on Jan. 15.

The same jury also returned a special verdict, rendering a somewhat rare finding that Ha used lawful force to defend him-self. That finding means he is eligible to be reimbursed by the state for the roughly $40,000 his family spent on his criminal de-fense.

“What that means is any reasonable person in his shoes would do the same thing,” said defense attorney Zach Wagnild, who represented Ha with co-counsel Michelle Scudder.

King County Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Mark Lar-son declined to discuss details of Ha’s case but said his office “al-ways respects the jury’s verdict.”

Now that his freedom is no longer in peril, Ha wants to clean the taint from his name, resume his studies at the UW and move on with his life.

But Ha and his family are bracing for another legal battle, this time against a civil com-plaint filed by Graham Harper, a 20-year-old UW student and Na-tional Guard reservist who was stabbed by Ha.

Harper had been hailed as a hero by his fraternity brothers and the media after the incident, and portrayed as a brave young man who suffered grievous wounds while coming to the de-fense of female students.

Walked Friend Home

Just after midnight on Jan. 25, 2015, Ha and a group of friends set out on a “21 Run” to a trio of University District bars to cel-ebrate one woman’s 21st birth-day. At the last bar, the young woman fell asleep at the table, so the group walked her home to a U District rental house shared by members of the UW women’s rugby club.

Ha said he’d been drinking that night but wasn’t drunk.

He and a male friend waited outside the “rugby house,” where a party was under way, as others helped put the woman to bed.

Ha was then greeted by one of the rugby players who had at-tended the party but lived in the same five-unit apartment build-ing as Ha and his roommates,

about a mile south.According to Ha, she routine-

ly took up two parking spots at their apartment building, which had become a sore subject among the other tenants. He suggested she needed “to park straighter.”

The woman punched Ha in the head, according to Ha and the defense’s trial brief. She swung again, he blocked the blow, and she ended up on the ground.

As he reached to help her up, he said, he was punched in the head from behind as up to four other women joined the fray.

“I didn’t know who they were, what gender they were. I’m push-ing back, punching back, just trying to get out of there,” he said.

At least one of his punches connected, blackening a wom-an’s eye.

As Ha and his friend walked away, the women yelled taunts and one followed the men a short distance, swatting at Ha’s head.

Different Version

Harper’s version differs sharply. He said in an interview that he came out of the rugby house, saw a girl crying and in-serted himself between Ha and the women. He said he told Ha to leave, and Ha started walking away, but then came back.

“I took that as an aggressive gesture because I had seen him do violence before,” Harper said, referring to the fight with the women.

He acknowledges slamming Ha into a car: “I slammed him in the car one time — it’s not like I picked him up and repeatedly bashed his head. He had no more than a black eye.”

Harper said he never saw Ha’s knife. His left leg, chest and groin were cut and one jab punctured his abdomen, caus-ing a small section of intestine to protrude.

But Ha and other witnesses testified that the women at-tacked Ha. Then, after that alter-cation was over, Harper ran Ha down and started beating him, they said.

Ha, who said he feared he would die from having his head repeatedly slammed into a car, said he showed Harper his knife and told him to back off, then wasn’t sure that he’d actually cut Harper.

The jury also heard that Harper, who was 19 at the time, had a blood alcohol content of 0.13, well above the legal limit of 0.02 for those under 21.

Friends Shane Colburn and Elana Helfand, both UW stu-dents who were sober and had no connection to anyone in-

volved in the fight, happened upon the scene as Ha tussled with the women. They saw the first woman fall to the ground and watched Ha walk away as

“this other girl was punching and slapping him in the head,” said Colburn.

“He wasn’t hitting her back, more like blocking her strikes,” said Colburn, 22, who along with Helfand testified at Ha’s trial.

That’s when Harper came out of the house and went “full-on sprinting” after Ha, “yelling something to the effect of, ‘You never hit girls,’” Colburn said in an interview. “I remember being concerned this was escalating now — the way he was running was aggressive.”

From his vantage, Colburn said, he saw Harper grab Ha and repeatedly ram Ha into parked cars.

“I had my phone out and yelled to them I was going to call the cops,” said Colburn. “Gra-ham was definitely bigger than Jarred.”

He looked away as he spoke with a 911 dispatcher, and when he looked back, Ha was gone and there was blood pooling at Harp-er’s feet. Colburn and Helfand tended to Harper and waited with him until the ambulance came.

The incident and Ha’s arrest were covered by Seattle media. Harper was hailed as a hero and a protector of women.

Jurors heard two versions of the events of that night, from Harper and then from Ha,

whose account was corroborated by the witnesses. A Seattle man who sat on the jury said initially he assumed that with Harper’s injuries, Ha “was on a rampage.”

“It took a lot of work on our part to realize the exact opposite was true,” said the 52-year-old, who asked not to be named to protect his privacy.

“It was unfortunate Graham had so much physical capabil-ity and that Jarred had a weapon,” the juror said.

“But they were both young, in-experienced, drinking, and got in over their heads. They got lucky that no one died.”

After finding Ha not guilty, it didn’t take long for the jury to reach the special verdict in Ha’s favor, finding he acted in self-defense, the juror said.

Harper, who is studying po-litical science and international security, was shocked by the ver-dicts, saying he thought the case against Ha “was a slam dunk.”

“I believe there was a lot of legal manipulation. O.J. got off,” Harper said. “I still believe I was

right and he was so, so wrong in hitting those girls.”

UW Suspension

While still in jail, Ha was notified that he was suspended from the UW and barred from campus. Ha said he has attended academic disciplinary hearings and was ordered to take an alco-hol-safety class. He has been told by the UW that he can reapply in the fall, but he hopes to get back in before then.

No one else involved in the fight faced disciplinary action, said Ha’s defense team. Ha, who moved back into his parents’ Bel-levue home after they bailed him out of jail, hopes to return to school for the spring quarter.

Norm Arkans, the UW’s as-sociate vice president for media relations, said federal privacy laws prevent him from com-menting on Ha’s status.

“My brother got everything taken away from him — his schooling, his friends, his life was just completely put on hold,” said Ha’s older sister, Vanessa, who graduated from the UW in 2012. “It’s just so unfair.”

When Vanessa attended the UW, her father, Joe Ha, became alarmed by the frequent safety alerts his daughter received on her cellphone from UW police. He gave her the choice of carry-ing a Taser, mace or a knife for protection. She chose mace.

When it was Jarred’s turn to attend the UW, their dad gave him the same choice. After his son decided on a knife, Joe Ha pur-chased a Karambit, a knife with a curved, 2 ¼-inch fixed blade.

“We talked about it many times,” Joe Ha said, recalling how he lectured his son that the weapon was only to be used “as a last resort.”

Before Ha’s trial, father and son went shopping together at Costco and sat talking in their car in the parking lot. Joe Ha, who blamed himself for giving his son the knife that had landed him in legal trouble, broke down in tears:

“I said, ‘I ruined your life,’” re-called Joe Ha, “and he said, ‘No, Dad. You saved my life.’”

stabbed. The Seattle Times reports that Ha was acquitted last month, with jurors ruling he acted in self-defense.

Washington Company Turns Taters Into Tuber Love Letters

RENTON (AP) — Valen-tine's Day is boosting business for a western Washington state company that sends out potatoes with personalized, hand-written anonymous messages.

Jeff Kelly of Renton-based Mystery Potato says a popular message is, "You're a hot potato."

Kelly told KOMO-TV that the company has about 10 con-tractors in the United States

working to meet demand.Cost to send an anonymous

spud is $7.99.The company ships message-

carrying potatoes throughout the year to also mark other occa-sions.

Kelly says an often-request-ed message is the word "nerd" spelled in the biggest letters pos-sible.

The company on its website says sending an anonymous message written on a potato through the mail is a unique way to contact someone without us-ing social media.

Cowlitz Tribe Celebrates Homecoming, CasinoBy Stevie Mathieu

The Columbian Assistant Metro Editor

The Cowlitz Indian Tribe is home.

With plenty of cheers, and some tears, Cowlitz members cel-ebrated the recent groundbreak-ing on their $510 million casino-resort and the tribe’s future at a ceremony Sunday. The steel skel-eton of the structure already is taking shape near La Center, but the tribe waited until Valentine’s Day to mark the milestone.

Sixteen years ago on Feb. 14, the tribe received recognition from the federal government, said Roy Wilson, a spiritual leader of the Cowlitz Tribe. In 2010 came another victory: the Bureau of In-dian Affairs approved an applica-tion to take 152 acres of land west of La Center into trust for a new Cowlitz reservation. The Cowlitz then were locked in a legal battle to build a casino on the property, where the tribe said its ancestors had ties.

“I can’t find the words to ex-press what I am feeling inside,” Wilson said. “We have just be-gun a great journey. … We came a long, long way, and we have a great future ahead of us.”

The ceremony began with members of the tribe drumming and singing their honor song, which includes the words: “The land of the Cowlitz is calling for me. … Come back to the Cowlitz. The Cowlitz is home.”

The celebration drew roughly 500 people, who gathered under a giant tent as rain fell. In the crowd were representatives from the offices of U.S. Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray; past and current state legislators and city officials; former Clark Coun-ty commissioners; Clark County Fire & Rescue commissioners; people who live near the casino site; and leaders of the Cowlitz Tribe and the Connecticut-based Mohegan Tribe of Indians. The Mohegan Tribe has teamed with

the Cowlitz on the casino project, guiding the Cowlitz through the process.

During the event, commu-nity members signed a beam that would be used in the casino’s construction, ceremonially dug into the earth and brought for-ward small mementos to bury on the casino site. Long ago, mem-bers of the Cowlitz buried tokens in the ground upon establishing a new village, tribal spiritual leaders said.

The casino-resort is expect-

ed to open to the public in the spring of 2017. When construc-tion is completed, the project will feature a 100,000-square-foot gaming floor — with 2,500 slot machines, 75 gaming tables, 60 high-limit slot machines and five high-limit tables — multiple restaurants and meeting spaces.

Construction will include a new Interstate 5 interchange at Exit 16. A concert venue also is in the works, tribal leaders said Sunday.

Friedmutter Group archi-tects, who designed the casino,

described its look as “organic contemporary.” They said it will tastefully infuse the casino with elements of Cowlitz culture, in-cluding imagery of a blunt-nosed canoe, camas flowers, woven hats and salmon.

Several groups that did not want a casino built on the reser-vation have sued the Cowlitz be-cause they question the Cowlitz peoples’ ties to the area and believe the tribe is interested in the property only for its proxim-ity to Portland. They did not re-quest an injunction to block the casino’s construction.

The plaintiffs, including the city of Vancouver, Clark County, the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde, Citizens Against Reservation Shopping — a group that includes Columbian Pub-lisher Scott Campbell — and the owners and operators of La Center’s cardrooms, are appeal-ing U.S. District Court Judge Barbara J. Rothstein’s decision in December 2014 to dismiss the lawsuit.

After many struggles, Sunday was a historic day for the tribe, speakers at the ceremony said. The project opens a new chapter, one that includes jobs, prosperity and self-reliance for their tribe, they said.

“We are the continuous Cowlitz. We are the forever peo-ple,” spiritual leader Tanna Eng-dahl said. “We are here, we are home and we are forever.”

News in Brief

Harsher DUI Penalties Pass Washington House

OLYMPIA (AP) — A bill that would require harsher penalties for people convicted of felony-lev-el offenses for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol has unanimously passed the House.

House Bill 2280, approved Monday, would make a fourth DUI conviction within 10 years a Class B felony, rather than a Class C felony. The bill will now be considered by the Senate.

A Class C felony has a maxi-mum of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine or both. A Class B felony has a maximum of 10

years in prison, $20,000 fine or both. A DUI is a gross misde-meanor in existing law. A DUI for someone convicted of vehic-ular homicide or assault while intoxicated would also be a Class B felony under the bill.

• Our Views: SWW Fair Changes Needed

• Story: Services Are Now in Session for Church Offering Hallucinogens

USER NAME: MammaBamma

The past few years the fair has declined in all areas and it is time for a change. When Lee Coumbs was the fair manager some years ago his motto was “Fairs are Fun” and it is time to see that come back to fruition. Every day he would walk through the grounds and talk to the vendors and the exhibitors and see how things were go-ing and if they needed anything or there was anything he could do to make things better for them. That has not been the case in the past decade and it is time to get the fair back on a more hometown friendly basis. We are not ready to be an events center. We need to be a fair where local people can come and meet and see their neighbors and friends, watch their grandchildren and their children show off their animals and their crafts and handiwork, and be able to get some good fair food and enjoy the day. The Grange building still has beautiful displays and the Wildlife Building is absolutely wonderful. People need to be able to afford to come back and see the fair and en-joy all of this. Remember, Fairs are Fun and this year the theme of the fair is “Kids Grow at the Southwest Wash-ington Fair.”

A good motto for a first year of regrowth.

USER NAME: woodragon

Everyone starts somewhere, I have met some of the people involved and I have confidence they won’t hurt anyone.

Randy Cobb: It’s not a church!

Jean Swinney: Good work guys. Arrest all peddlers of death.

Amanda Richardson-Kent: It’s all fun and games until one of them gets lost in the woods.

Karen And Godfrey Betts: About time you started rounding up the heroin peddlers. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Duke Davidson: They should get life for having those young kids in that house with these drugs on the table. At that age they’re curious about what their parents are doing.

Lab Takes 1st Title as Westminster Debuts Obedience Contest

NEW YORK (AP) — Sidestep in per-fect pace with someone who has fewer feet than you. Sit properly in front of a crowd, while your favorite person walks away. Sort through a pile of identical items to find the one that belongs to that person

— by smell. Can you do it? Heart can. And she’s a 3-year-old Labrador retriever.

Heart won the Westminster Kennel Club dog show’s first-ever obedience competition Monday with a crowd-pleasing, tail-wagging display of canine deportment that included fetching a few heart-print pillows. “She is just amazing,” said owner and handler Linda Brennan, of Columbia, New Jersey. Plus, “we had the cute factor.”

2B WRESTLING: 11 Locals Headed to State

By The Chronicle

ADNA — Adna’s Matthew Slape, Winlock’s Seth Lindsey and Napavine’s Ian Bowen were all champions here Sat-urday at the 1B/2B Region 1 Wrestling Tournament.

The Pirates, hosting the event, pushed seven wrestlers through region-als and into the state championships — Mat Classic XXVIII — which start Fri-day in the Tacoma Dome.

“It was great to see three of our boys wrestle under the spotlight in the finals in front of a home crowd,” Adna coach Craig Ferrier said. “My message to the boys was simple — today we wrestle at home, and it’s your day to do something great. And they did.”

The top four wrestlers in each clas-sification advanced to state. A total of 11 local 2B wrestlers will start state action on Friday morning in Tacoma.

Bowen won the 120 pound bracket,

DISTRICTS: Morton-White Pass Hammers Chief Leschi, 75-40, Behind 46 Points By Poquettes

ROCHESTER — The Poquette broth-ers provided the offense, and Morton-White Pass checked another item off its season to-do list here Saturday night.

The Timberwolves got a total 46 points from Matt and Kaleb Poquette to crush Chief Leschi, 75-40, in District 4 2B quarterfinal boys hoops action and seal a berth in the regional playoffs for the fourth straight year.

“Well, any time you’re in districts it’s never easy, trust me,” MWP coach Tony Gillispie said. “Chief Leschi’s a young team that’s coming on, and our experi-ence mattered in a game like that.”

ROCHESTER — The Tigers’ plan wasn’t any different than it ever is — press early, get a lot of shots and build a lead.

The only difference in Saturday’s 53-35 win over Morton-White Pass was the implications.

The District 4 2B girls quarterfinal victory puts the Tigers back in the re-gional playoffs, and marks off the first of two steps in getting back to the State 2B tournament.

There’s also, though, the matter of a district championship — something else the Tigers are eyeballing, after coming up

Fasts’ Shooting Keeps Tigers’ Season AliveDISTRICTS: Alyx & Maddie Fast Combine for Nine 3s in 55-37 Loser-Out Win Over Woodland

By Aaron VanTuyl

[email protected]

LONGVIEW — Alyx Fast was quite excited for the Tigers’ loser-out district matchup with Woodland to come to a close.

So excited, in fact, that she jumped off the bench for the postgame celebra-tion with less than a minute left to play

— only to be shooed back to the pine by a

scowling official. “I, uh, thought the game was done,

and I got really excited,” Fast joked af-terwards. “What are you gonna do?”

Fast had every reason to be bounc-ing off the walls, premature or not. After missing Centralia’s District 4 2A Girls Basketball Tournament-opening loss to Washougal while following concus-sion protocol, the senior guard scored 19 points to lead the Tigers in a 55-37 do-or-die win over Woodland Monday at Mark Morris High School.

The win means Centralia (13-9) will take on Hockinson Wednesday night in Chehalis, in another loser-out contest.

Balanced Lady Blazers Blow Out Tacoma 73-51By The Chronicle

The Blazers had five players score in double figures and rolled to a 73-51 win over Tacoma on Saturday in NWAC West Region women’s hoops ac-tion in the Hub City.

Monty Cooper led the Blazers with 25 points and 10 rebounds, while adding three blocked shots to her night’s work.

Tiana Thompson scored 12 on 5 of 8 shoot-ing, while Susan Kenney and Alisha Sorensen each added 10. Sydnie Cole-Vogler added 11 off the bench, while Katie Whit-ten scored 5 points and dished out five assists.

The Blazers outscored Tacoma 14-5 in the sec-ond frame to take a 34-25 halftime advantage, and outrebounded the Titans 43-37.

Bobbi Westendorf led Tacoma with 24 points and 16 rebounds.

Centralia (18-7, 9-1 league) has secured a postseason berth, and will host South Puget Sound on Wednesday.

Centralia Comes Up Just Short Against Titans, 70-69

Centralia rallied in the second half, but couldn’t quite get over the hump against Tacoma on Sat-urday at Michael Smith Gymnasium.

Brayton Keith scored 25 points, and Joshua Broughton scored 12 with 12 rebounds to pace the Blazers. Josiah Warner added 19 points, going 5 of 11 from long range.

The game featured eight lead changes, with the Blazers outscoring Tacoma 32-29 in a tight second half. Centralia, though, shot just 5 of 14 (43 percent) from the foul line in the loss.

Abraham Ferrell-Lo-gan led Tacoma with 20 points.

College Basketball

TORONTO (AP) — Kobe Bryant exited the All-Star Game for the final time to watch Rus-sell Westbrook and Stephen Cur-ry wrap things up with 3-point-ers.

Bryant's gone, and these young guys are good.

Bryant said his All-Star Game goodbye and the next gen-eration of the West's best sent him off a winner, rolling to a re-cord-setting 196-173 victory over the East on Sunday night.

"It was fun," Bryant said. "I had a blast playing with those guys, laughing and joking with them on the bench."

The first All-Star Game outside the U.S. was the high-est-scoring ever. Bryant didn't provide much of the offense but many of the memories.

"To see him now, it's like the passing of a generation," West coach Gregg Popovich said. "He's been such an iconic figure for so long, and he passes it on to that other group of young guys that you saw out there tonight."

Bryant finished with 10 points, so few that he lost his ca-reer lead in All-Star scoring to LeBron James.

But Westbrook scored 31 points in his second straight All-Star MVP performance and Curry added 26 — the final three on a 42-footer. Anthony Davis had 24 on 12-for-13 shooting and Kevin Durant chipped in 23.

Paul George finished with 41 for the East, tying Westbrook's total from last year in New York that was one off Wilt Chamber-

lain's record. John Wall added 22 points.

James finished with 13 points, just enough to move ahead of Bryant for most ever in the All-Star Game. James has 291, while Bryant, who is retiring after this season, leaves with 290.

He checked out with 1:06 left to cheers and hugs from his fel-low All-Stars who now put up points in bunches the way Bry-ant did for so long.

Bryant had seven assists and six rebounds, but shot 4 for 11 in a game where there isn't re-ally much defense and had never been less. The 369 combined points were 48 more than last year's record, and both clubs blew away the previous individ-ual team record of 163.

But people just wanted to see Bryant play, not necessarily play well.

"We all at one point in our life wanted to be Kobe in our driveways somewhere," the East's Dwyane Wade said. "We watched him growing up and we wanted to pay respect to him."

The pregame was a celebra-tion first of Canada, then of Bry-ant.

A video message from Dr. James Naismith, the Canadian who invented basketball in the early 1890s, was followed by player introductions by two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash and Grammy winner Drake. Canadi-an Nelly Furtado sang her coun-try's national anthem.

Then it was time for two

video tributes for Bryant, whose 18 All-Star selections are second only to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Bryant thanked his millions of fans as the other All-Stars lined up in the background to salute him.

"I know it's been overwhelm-ing for him over this year, but our fans across the world and here in the States and here in To-ronto, as well, has just been pay-ing so much respect," James said.

"It's all well-deserved."Toronto hosted the very first

NBA game on Nov. 1, 1946. Nei-ther Naismith nor anyone who saw that game would recognize the way it looked Sunday.

Curry and Durant launched shots from spots where only buzzer-beating heaves were once attempted, and Westbrook put together another combination of speed and force that turned it into a rare All-Star blowout in the second half.

At 37, Bryant has trouble keeping up with the youngsters

— especially the real young ones. Chris Paul's son stole the ball from him as Bryant warmed up for the second half.

But he was the star without playing a starring a role. He had said he didn't want players forc-ing him the ball in an effort to make him the MVP — he's al-ready got four of them in this game — but he was never far from the center of attention.

The West led 92-90 at the break, both teams surpassing the previous record of 89 points in a half.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Temi Fagbenle scored a season-high 26 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead Southern California to a 64-62 victory over Washington State on Sunday night to snap a two-game skid.

Fagbenle added five assists to go with her ninth double-double of the season. Courtney Jaco chipped in 18 points for the Tro-jans (18-8, 6-8 Pac-12).

Dawnyelle Awa scored 16 points to lead Washington State (12-13, 3-11), which has lost eight straight.

The Cougars had their last lead, 56-55 with four minutes left. Jaco made a 3-pointer, sparking 7-0 spurt and the Tro-jans led 62-56.

WOODLAND — Centralia’s defense was fine here Saturday, holding Woodland to a respect-able 46 points in District 4 2A Boys Basketball Tournament ac-tion.

The offense, though, had its share of trouble in a 46-33 loss to the Beavers to open playoff action.

Nolan Wasson scored 15 points and Christian Peters add-ed 13, but the Tigers scored just 16 through the first three quar-ters .

“I wouldn’t call it one of our better efforts, scoring wise,” Centralia coach Ron Brown said.

“We were just not very good of-fensively. We didn’t shoot well,

but we also didn’t, I don’t think, execute very well.”

Woodland’s 6-foot-11 junior center, Bryce Mulder, could have had something to do with that.

“(He) probably affected our shooting around the basket quite a bit,” Brown said. “It wasn’t that he blocked a lot of shots, but I think he altered them.”

Tanner Sixberry led Wood-land (14-7) with 14 points.

Centralia (9-12) will face Hudson’s Bay tonight, in a 7:45 p.m. loser-out game at Mark Morris High School in Longview.

Note: Woodland will play Tumwater, also at 7:45 p.m. to-night, at R.A. Long High School in Longview.

Maddie Fast — a sophomore and Alyx’s cousin — added 14 points for the Tigers, though the team’s start Monday was less than promising.

Centralia missed 14 of its first 16 shots, and was only able to salvage a 10-10 tie at the end of the first quarter on two quick buckets from Madi Crews and Alyx Fast’s first 2-pointer just before the buzzer.

“There was concern there, be-cause when we called timeout, I said, ‘Hey, we can’t just keep jacking up the 3s,’” Ashmore said. “And we just kept doing it. It was what they were giving us.”

Finally, after missing their first nine attempts from long range, Alyx Fast connected on a 3-pointer with 5:42 left in the second quarter that tied things up at 14-14. She added three more before halftime which, combined with a 3 from Maddie Fast, staked the Tigers a 26-18 lead at the break.

The Tigers went 9 of 17 from long range from the middle of the second quarter on, with the Fasts accounting for all nine triples.

“We were moving the ball re-ally well around the perimeter, and it was creating a lot of open shots for people,” Alyx Fast said.

“We played really well as a team.”Woodland opened the third

quarter on a 7-0 run to pull within a point, but a bucket from Hayden Blaser, a pull-up jumper from Crews and a 3 from Mad-die Fast gave Centralia a bit of breathing room. Ellie Corwin

— who finished with a whopping nine blocked shots — swatted three Woodland shots in the third, and Maddie Fast knocked in another 3 to give Centralia a 12-point lead heading into the final frame.

“She is really good defensively, when she just stays straight up and uses her body well,” Ash-more said of Corwin, a 5-foot-11

sophomore. “She’s clutch down there.”

Crews finished with 10 points, and Corwin added 8 points and six rebounds.

Dana Glovick led Woodland, the fourth-place team from the Greater St. Helens 2A Confer-ence, with 14 points.

Centralia, the third-place team out of the Evergreen 2A Conference, extended the final season of its three seniors — Fast, Crews and Hayden Blaser, all of whom start — by at least another game with the win.

“Yesterday at practice, and our shootaround today, they had a little different energy,” Ashmore said of his team. “They know that it could potentially be their last time playing. I was glad we got to play for another day.”

Strasser Helps Cats Past T-Birds

W.F. West’s Lexie Strasser

was dominant, and W.F. West held Tumwater to 13 points in the second half for a 58-46 Dis-trict 4 2A Girls Basketball Tour-nament win Monday night on Ron Brown Court in Centralia.

Strasser, a junior center, went 12 of 16 from the field and scored 26 points to lead all scorers.

Shasta Lofgren added 16 points for the Bearcats, who led 34-33 at halftime.

W.F. West shot 25 of 49 (51

percent) from the field, and at-tempted just eight 3-pointers in the win, hitting two.

Erika Brumfield added 4 points and a game-high 15 re-bounds, with a three blocked shots, for W.F. West.

The Bearcats will now take on Washougal, which lost 47-44 to Black Hills Monday night, back in Centralia at 6 p.m. Wednesday night.

Huskies Drop Third in a Row, Lose to Colorado

College Basketball

By Percy Allen

The Seattle Times

BOULDER, Colo. — Because the Huskies floundered in the first 32 minutes, they needed last-second heroics from An-drew Andrews to bail them out if they were going to beat Colorado.

He’s done it several times be-fore.

In fact, Andrews buried the Buffaloes last year with a long jumper that splashed through the net with 0.3 seconds left.

The circumstances were nearly identical Saturday in front of 9,476 at Coors Events Center, but this time the score wasn’t tied and the Washington men’s basketball team trailed by a point.

Once again, the Huskies put the ball in the hands of their se-nior leader. And just like before, he got a good look from 17 feet out.

But his long jumper rattled out of the rim with five seconds remaining and Washington ab-sorbed a heartbreaking 81-80 set-back — its third straight loss.

“I thought it was going in,” Andrews said. “Right when it came off I thought it was going in.

“I was wide open. I think I got the separation I needed. I just missed the shot.”

It was one of several missed opportunities in the final min-utes for the Huskies, who trailed by 15 points with 7:38 left before making one final push.

Down 72-57, Andrews scored 11 of his 18 points in the final six minutes as Washington closed the game with a 23-9 run.

Austin McBroom Leads Red-Hot EWU Past Northern ColoradoBy Jim Allen

The Spokesman-Review

Reese Court is seeing a lot of heroics this season, just not the last-second variety – and that’s OK with Eastern Washington coach Jim Hayford.

“Our players are just really dialed-in on our game plans, our scouting reports and our ex-ecution,” Hayford said after the Eagles dispatched Northern Col-orado 97-80 in a Big Sky Confer-ence game Saturday afternoon.

The game played out almost identically to EWU’s win over North Dakota two nights earlier: the Eagles used hard-nosed de-fense and crisp shooting to take a 20-point lead and coasted to an-other comfortable win by hitting their foul shots.

“We recruit to shoot – I’m not surprised by our great shooting nights,” said Hayford, whose team shot 56 percent from the field and 44 percent from be-yond the arc.

In the process, they improved to 15-10 overall and 9-4 in the Big Sky going into Thursday’s game at Sacramento State. Cur-rently in third place with five regular-season games left, the Eagles hope to finish at least fourth and earn a first-round bye in the conference tournament in Reno, Nevada.

“It’s been a consistent theme,” said Hayford, whose club is 10-0 at home this season. “When oth-er teams have to scout us, they have to pick their poison – what do they want to take away? Our team is doing a really smart job of realizing what that opens up.”

On Saturday, it was the pe-rimeter game. As the Bears (8-17 overall, 5-8 Big Sky) collapsed on EWU forward Venky Jois, he kicked the ball to his shoot-ers. The main beneficiary was point guard Austin McBroom, who shot 62 percent from the field – including 7-for-12 from long range – and finished with 37 points.

That broke his career mark of 35, set less than 48 hours earlier.

Asked whether he was feel-ing “in the zone,” McBroom smiled and said, “I’m shooting it pretty well, and I’m getting a lot of shots, so I’m more confident, definitely.”

MONTESANO — Seeds in tournaments are an indication of what should happen, which is what underdog teams live for.

The No. 6 seed Pirates pulled the upset on Saturday afternoon, knocking off the Indians 49-40 in the District 4 2B Boys Basket-ball Tournament quarterfinals at Montesano to secure a berth in regionals.

“It feels terrific,” Adna coach Luke Salme said. “We’re a six-seed out of what I would say is the toughest league in the state and I don’t think many people would argue with that. We’ve been playing really well as of late. ”

Adna will play in Tumwater tonight at 6:30 p.m. against No. 3-ranked Life Christian in the district semifinals.

Garrett Trotter led Adna with 15 points and Tanner Rigdon added 10 points. Toledo was led by Conner Vermilyea’s 12 points.

The big key to the game was defense, as Adna forced many Toledo turnovers and a handful of steals that led to easy layups.

“That’s a good offensive team, that’s without a doubt the key to the game,” Salme said. “We had lulls offensively, they really pinched the paint and forced us

to shoot contested shots the whole time but we were consis-tently getting stops and forcing turnovers.”

Both teams were not sharp early, missing shots and turn-ing the ball over. Toledo finally scored its first basket more than five minutes into the first.

“We’re pretty resilient and the defensive mindset and toughness that we start, especially digging in with our guards, I think we can compete with pretty much anyone if that is how we are go-ing to defend,” Salme said.

Each team shot 25 percent from the field in the first quarter, with Adna holding an 8-5 lead after the first.

The second quarter was better for both teams, and Toledo was able to tie the game at 13 midway through the quarter. Adna ended the first half on a 6-0 run to take a 19-13 lead at halftime.

Toledo came out strong in the third quarter and chipped away at the lead. Vermilyea was on fire in the third, making three 3-pointers in the quarter to close the gap to 28-27 after three quar-ters.

But Adna dominated the fourth, going on an early 8-0 run to take a 38-29 lead. Adna hit nine free throws down the stretch to key the Pirates to vic-tory.

“We’ve been shooting so many free throws in practice, even since the regular season ended, that’s what happens in district games,” Salme said. “We have not been a good free throw shooting team throughout the season. We’ve been really talking about our routine and positive mental imagery and taking deep breaths. You’ve got to hit those to win these games and fortunately we did.”

While the team has secured a regional berth, the District tour-nament is still the priority.

“I just told the guys I don’t think six seeds are supposed to be playing in district semifinal games in this district tourna-ment, which is an absolute brawl,” Salme said. “I won’t say for a second I see a satisfied look in my guys eyes, I see excitement and I see celebration. We’ll get back to practice and have a blast on Tuesday night in a semifinal game.”

Kirkley Carries Vikings Over Wildcats

ROCHESTER — Fans here for the Vikings’ District 4 quar-terfinal matchup with Ocosta were treated to a show — the Ja-ron Kirkley show, to be specific.

Kirkley scored 33 points for Mossyrock, as the Vikings

earned a 62-46 win over Ocosta at Montesano in a District 4 2B Boys action.

“I thought it was going to be a battle,” Mossyrock coach Kelly Ross said. “I’ve been preaching that everyday in practice, it’s go-ing to be a battle, especially with that team. It was a great team ef-fort.”

Ross spoke about the teams’ battle in last year’s district tour-nament — which Ocosta won — and didn’t want to allow that to happen a second time.

“It kinda started the same way where we had a pretty de-cent lead at halftime. When we had that lead coming into the half, it was a point to make that you can’t let up,” he said. “If they started hitting them and getting confident, they just start drop-ping for them, and we couldn’t allow that to happen.”

The win earns the Vikings a regional playoff berth, and a semifinal date with rival Mor-ton-White Pass tonight at 8 p.m. in Tumwater.

Kirkley led all scorers with 33 and also grabbed 10 rebounds. Teammate Danny Nelson pro-vided 15 points. Ocosta’s Zach Allton had a team-high 11 points.

“Offensively, Kirkley was an animal tonight,” Ross said. “He proved that he is an all-state player and a consistent all-state

player, and that was huge for us tonight.”

Ocosta scored the first basket of the game and held the lead for most of the first quarter. But an 11-0 run by Mossyrock put the Vikings ahead 21-13 after one quarter.

Mossyrock padded its lead in the second quarter, with Kirkley and Nelson scoring all 13 Viking points in the second for a 34-23 lead at the half.

The Wildcats tried to get back into the game and was able to slice the lead to 45-35 after three quarters, but it was all Mossyr-ock in the fourth. The Vikings went on a late 10-0 run to seal the win.

Even with the regional berth, there is still work to be done in the district tournament.

“Tomorrow, it starts over, and it has to start over,” Ross said.

“We can’t be too excited about this, you take this, you’re happy about it tonight. Tomorrow, you are ready to go back to work. At the beginning of the season on the first day, and I gave them a piece of paper and I said, write down your goals for this year. Everyone on this varsity team said district title.”

Adna, Mossyrock Boys Secure Regional Berths With Quarterfinal Wins

CONSOLATION: Tigers Still In; Toledo Ousted by Toutle Lake, 52-38

By Matt Baide

[email protected]

ROCHESTER — The Tigers kept their season alive on Mon-day night, dominating Rainier 70-28 here in District 4 2B Boys Basketball Tournament action.

“I was happy how we came out and took control of this game early,” Napavine coach Rex Stanley said. “The longer you let anyone hang around, it can get scary at the end, and I liked our focus, I liked our defense, and other than a few turnovers in the first half, I was pretty happy.”

Wyatt Stanley recorded a double-double with 25 points and 22 rebounds. Chase Van Wyck chipped in 15 points for the Tigers, along with 13 points

from Austin Filley. Dillon Stan-cil was the leading scorer for Rainier with 9 points.

“He’s (Wyatt Stanley) been solid all year for us,” Stanley said. “You can pretty much put him down for a double-double every game. This is just what he does.”

The Tigers will face Toutle Lake at 8 p.m. at Black Hills to-night in another loser-out game with a berth in regionals on the line.

Napavine dominated in the paint, grabbing rebounds and using its size to get easy baskets down low.

“That was our plan,” Stan-ley said. “We didn’t want to make this a 3-point contest and with Chase (VanWyck), Wyatt (Stanley), Austin (Filley) and Randy (Kinswa), we wanted to get paint scorers.”

The first quarter was tightly contested, as Rainier took an

early 5-2 lead, but Napavine used a 7-0 run to take a 9-8 lead after one quarter.

Napavine broke the game open in the second quarter. Rainier scored first, followed by a 20-0 run by Napavine to go up 29-10. Rainier scored before the end of the quarter to make it 29-12 at halftime.

The Tigers dominated the second half, going on a 10-0 run in the third quarter to go up 49-24 after three quarters. It was more of the same in the fourth quarter, as Napavine went on an 18-0 run to start the quarter to cruise to victory.

Toledo’s Season Ends with Loss To Toutle Lake

MONTESANO — After entering the playoffs as the No. 2 seed from the Central 2B League, the Indians’ season came to a disappointing end on Monday with a 52-38 loss to

Toutle Lake here in District 4 tournament action.

“I don’t know if we matched their intensity,” Toledo coach Grady Fallon explained. “That was a do-or-die game and they played like it and we didn’t. We said the right things, but it just didn’t materialize.”

The outside shooting wasn’t there for Toledo, as they only made 3 of 19 3-point shots, and shot just 31 percent from the field.

“If you aren’t hitting or things aren’t going your way, it throws you out of whack,” Fal-lon said. “We knew what to expect, it was a matter of go-ing out there and doing it. They were ready and it’s not that we weren’t ready, we just didn’t play like it.”

Toutle Lake started the sec-ond quarter on an 8-0 run to take a 6-point lead, and held the Indians to just 4 points in

the second quarter. The Ducks stretched the

lead to 8 after three quarters, and held Toledo to 5 points in the fourth, pulling away with free throws down the stretch.

Joe Wallace led Toledo with 11 points, while Junior Arroyo chipped in 8.

Despite the finish, Fallon was proud of what his team ac-complished this season.

“They worked their butts off to get second place and I’m re-ally proud of them,” Fallon said.

“You’re in second, everybody’s got a target on your back and nobody believed you in the first place. Overall, to bounce back from losing everybody, what we achieved, I’m super happy for these guys.”

It was the final game for Toledo seniors Jared Pohll and Connor Vermilyea. Toledo fin-ished the season with a 16-7 re-cord.

just short last season to eventual state runner-up Wahkiakum.

“That’s one of our team goals, was to get to regionals, but we have one more,” Napavine coach Jeremy Landram said. “We’d like to get back to the district title game that we lost last year and see if we can avenge that.”

The early going was as fast-paced as it ever is for Napavine. The Tigers forced nine turn-overs in the first quarter, scored 13 unanswered points to open the game, and had a 23-4 lead once the initial eight minutes were up.

Mollie Olson finished with 20 points to lead Napavine, scor-ing 14 in the first quarter and, at one point, 8 in a row.

The second quarter was more of the same; Napavine knocked out a 10-0 run and, after MWP’s Sharon Hazen started the sec-ond quarter with a 3-pointer, held the Timberwolves without a field goal for a 7 ½ minutes

stretch leading into halftime.“That was our idea, to try

to have a good first half to put them away early,” Landram said.

“Because at districts, if you let anyone hang around, it can get very interesting, very fast.”

It did get interesting late, though the game was too far out of hand for it to make any more than a cosmetic difference.

The Timberwolves scored the bulk of their points in the fourth, finishing the game on an 18-0 run with a scarce num-ber of starters in on the action. Freshman Carly King scored 6 straight in that run, while Taylor Nilius and Jacie Dunlap — also freshmen — each added 5.

Napavine (20-2) moves on the tournament semifinals, where it gets its rematch with Wahkiakum on Wednesday night in Tumwater with an 8 p.m. tipoff.

Pirates Blow Out No. 2 Ilwaco

MONTESANO — The Lady Fishermen cruised into the dis-trict quarterfinals here Saturday carrying the Pacific 2B League

championship and the No. 2 ranking in the AP state poll.

The Pirates walked in with a game plan and walked out with a win.

Adna had four players hit double figures and trounced Il-waco, 62-39, in the District 4 2B tournament to secure a regional playoff spot.

“We had a good game plan going in, and the whole team

— the bench, and everybody — executed the game plan to perfection,” Adna coach Chris Bannish said. “We put in a lot of time studying film and things like that, and they carried it out.”

The Pirates went on a 32-17 run over the two middle quarters to build the bulk of their lead. Shanay Dotson and Devanie Kleemeyer each scored 12 points, while Kenya Lorton scored 11 — with 8 coming in the second quarter, on 4 of 5 shooting.

Lili Glover came off the bench to add 10 points, and re-serve Isabella Elwood added 6 points and 10 rebounds. Sam Rolfe tallied 8 points for the Pi-

rates.Lorton and Dotson’s han-

dling of Ilwaco’s press, Bannish added, was a big key.

“We were able to get into our sets and run our offense, and that’s kind of been our M.O.,” he said. “We haven’t handled pres-sure real well, and we did today.”

Adna picked up 14 offensive rebounds in the contest, and shot 76 percent — 16 of 21 — from the foul line.

Hannah Elsworth led Ilwaco with 13 points, and Madeline Jacobson added 12. The Pirates held Pacific 2B League MVP Makenzie Kaech to 8 points, and the Fishermen shot 2 of 15 from long range.

Adna (16-6) will take on Tou-tle Lake Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at Tumwater High School in the District 4 semifinals.

Note: Onalaska lost to Tou-tle Lake, 56-32, on Saturday in the tournament quarterfi-nals. Heather Pannkuk led the Loggers with 10 points, while Nicolle Duryea added 9. Kelsey Wason led Toutle Lake with 15 points.

By The Chronicle

MONTESANO — The Log-gers worked through a rough first half, and slowed down Chief Leschi in the second half for a 47-31 win here Monday in District 4 2B Girls Basketball action.

Heather Pannkuk led the Loggers with 11 points, though Onalaska had just a 3-point lead at the intermission.

“The first half was not stellar,” Logger coach Dracy McCoy said.

“Heather kind of kept us alive, with 9 points in the first half, which helped us a lot.”

A few defensive adjustments in the second half changed the tide of the game, with Maddy Dalsted snagging five steals after the break.

“She really kept us alive de-fensively when we made that change,” McCoy said.

Kasey Hoyt, she added, played well on Chief Leschi guard Thalia Waters.

Nicolle Duryea added 10 points and a game-high 14 re-bounds, and Gabby Wright scored 10 for the Loggers. Onalaska (11-12) will take on Pa-cific 2B League champion Ilwaco on Wednesday night in a loser-out consolation game at 8 p.m. at Black Hills High School.

Toledo Ends Season With Loss to Ilwaco

MONTESANO — The In-dians’ season came to a close here Monday with a 50-26 loss to Ilwaco in District 4 2B Girls Basketball Tournament action. Toledo can hold their heads high, however, as it posted its best re-cord (10-13) in half a decade.

“We’re pretty excited about the growth after coming off the last five or six seasons we’ve had,” Toledo coach J.B. Ewers said. “Ten wins a big deal for us this year.”

Ilwaco jumped out to a 20-2 lead in the first quarter, helped by 12 free-throw attempts. The Indians played the Fishermen close the rest of the way but the damage had already been done.

“We couldn’t put the ball in the basket early,” Ewers said.

“They kind of had a parade to the free throw line as well.”

Anna Tauscher led the In-dians with 7 points while Alys-sa Ewers and Haley Tauscher notched 6 points. It was also the final game for seniors Court-ney Moore, Josie Bowen, Haley Tauscher and Yvette Arroyo.

Onalaska Beats Chief Leschi to Stay Alive

By The Chronicle

MONTESANO — The Tim-berwolves overcame their recent third-quarter struggles here Monday night to beat North Beach 45-40 and stay alive in the District 4 2B Girls Basketball Tournament.

Christine Robbins scored 14

to lead Morton-White Pass, and the Timberwolves outscored the Hyaks 18-11 in the third quarter to take a 12-point lead into the final frame.

North Beach knocked down a few long 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to keep things in-teresting, but couldn’t overcome MWP’s big lead.

Sharon Hazen added 11 for the Timberwolves, while Si-erra Dotson scored 8 and Haley Kolb and Tatym Smathers each notched 6.

“I’m pretty pleased with our balanced scoring,” MWP coach Tom Griffith said. “That’s good to see.”

Dotson snared eight re-

bounds, while Kolb, Robbins and

Hazen each grabbed seven, help-

ing MWP to a 34-20 advantage

on the glass.

Morton-White Pass (13-10)

will take on Raymond Wednes-

day night, at 6:30 p.m. at Black

Brenden Sparh 7-2 in the finals of the 182 bracket. The top four in each weight class move on to state. Thomas beat Washougal’s AJ Christianson 13-0 in the 138 finals, Matagi beat Ridgefield’s Tommy Herz 6-5 in the 145 fi-nals, and Anderson pinned Washougal’s Taylor Liefsen in 2:37 in the 152 finals.

Also for the Bearcats, Roehre Cunningham was second at 106, Levi Walters was third at 113, Ethan Lund was third at 120, Braden Bostwick was second at 195, Tyler Pallas was third at 220, and Cole Miller and Hunter Ar-redondo were second and third, respectively, at 285.

Centralia’s Tristan Dickey finished third at 152 to move on to state.

Rochester’s Paris picked up two wins at regionals after win-ning a sub-regional champion-ship by defeating McAllister last week. Paris has a first-round pin and also won a rematch against W.F. West’s Lund 6-2.

“I think he’s shown his best wrestling the past two weeks,” Rochester coach Justin Eastman said. “I really think he’s peak-ing at the right time and under-standing positions and match strategy.”

Paris will face Selah’s Matt Harris in the first round of the state tournament. Harris was fifth in last year’s Mat Classic.

The state wrestling champi-onships start Friday morning in the Tacoma Dome.

Note: Rochester 115-pound freshman Morgan Ware ad-vanced to regionals in Aberdeen, before falling in two matches. The Warriors picked up the sport just this year.

“Anytime you pick up a sport for the first time there’s defi-nitely frustration but she kept a positive attitude all season and started winning matches at the end of the season,” Eastman said.

There is a number in front of Duke again. After two weeks of being one of the unranked, the Blue Devils are finally back in The Associated Press Top 25.

One of the longest streaks of consecutive poll appearanc-es ended two weeks ago when Duke dropped out of the rank-ings. Its run of 167 consecutive polls started with the preseason Top 25 of 2006-07. A run of four losses in five games knocked the Blue Devils from the ranks of the ranked.

A four-game winning streak has Duke (19-6) at No. 20 and if the Blue Devils go on a run simi-lar to their last one they will be ranked until sometime in the 2024-25 season.

ON TOP AGAIN

Villanova is starting its sec-ond week at No. 1. The Wildcats no longer have to worry about being one of those eight schools that was No. 1 for just one week.

Villanova is now one of six schools to have been No. 1 for two weeks and it’s quite a group they joined.

Louisville is the only one of the six to have split their weeks at the top between two seasons

— 2008-09 and 2012-13. Two oth-ers made the jump to the top in recent years — Alabama in 2002-03 and Texas in 2009-10.

The other two schools have had a long run without being on top: Duquesne was No. 1 for two weeks in 1953-54 and Saint Louis was No. 1 in the first two AP polls ever in 1948-49.

Duke is Back in Top 25 After 2 Weeks Out of Poll


For MWP — the two-time defending state champs, and this year’s Central 2B League regular-season champions, with a No. 2 ranking and 21-1 record

— it’s almost as much a relief as it is a cause for celebration.

“Everybody has to get to that game, whether you’re first, sec-ond, third or whatever, so it is a little bit of a relief,” Gillispie said. “But it is also excitement. You should never not be excited about playing in a regional.”

It marked the fourth-straight regional berth for MWP, which has been to the state tournament the past three years.

“We’re just glad to be back,” Matt Poquette said. “Our goal this year was to get back to state, and it’s just nice that we could accomplish that as a team, and get back to accomplishing our goals.”

Chief Leschi led 3-0 after the first two minutes, though the advantage was quickly erased. The Timberwolves went on a 20-0 run, with 10 points from Central 2B League MVP Kaleb Poquette, and led 22-5 after a quarter.

Matt Poquette, meanwhile, scored 20 in the second quarter, helping the Timberwolves to a 48-21 halftime lead. From inside the 3-point line, MWP went 20 of 26 (77 percent) in the first half.

“My teammates did a nice job of getting me the ball when I had a shorter guy on me,” Po-quette said. “I had a height ad-vantage, so I just wanted to at-tack it a little bit.”

Matt Poquette, a sophomore, finished with 24 points and 12

rebounds, while Kaleb tallied 22 points. The Poquettes were both on the bench for good by the end of the third frame.

“Every game he’s getting a little bit better,” Gillispie said.

“He’d been playing behind some good kids last year, and he could have played more, but at prac-tice he just got better by playing them. We’re real comfortable going to him.”

Cameron Hart added 10 points for MWP, which shot 60 percent from the field for the game.

Kahea Baker led Chief Les-chi (14-6; fourth in the Pacific 2B League) with 11 points.

The Timberwolves now take on rival Mossyrock in the dis-

trict semifinals tonight at 8 p.m. in Tumwater.

Life Christian Holds Off Napavine 60-52

ROCHESTER — The Tigers kept pace with the No. 3-ranked Eagles, but couldn’t slow down Luke Lovelady in a 60-52 loss here Saturday in the quarter-finals of the District 4 2B Boys Basketball Tournament.

Lovelady, a 6-foot-7 guard and the Pacific 2B League MVP, scored 24 points and snared 20 rebounds to lead Life Christian Academy to a spot in the region-al playoffs.

Wyatt Stanley led Napavine with 17 points and 15 boards, but the Eagles (20-2) built a lead

early and never quite gave it up.Lovelady hit a pair of

3-pointers in the first quarter to help LCA to a 17-8 lead late in the first quarter. The advantage was at 7 at halftime (30-23), and Napavine was never able to get closer than within 6 in the sec-ond half.

Life Christian outrebounded the Tigers 45-33, with a lineup that, in addition to Lovelady, featured 6-5 Reid Roelofs, 6-4 Anthony Kunitsa and 6-3 CJ Ko-vacs.

Roelofs finished with 19 points.

Peyton Stanley added 13 for Napavine, while Jordan Purvis scored 11.

Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — They jour-neyed to Hawaii to play in the Pro Bowl and made the rounds as product pitchmen in San Francisco before the Super Bowl.

Rams running back Todd Gurley and defensive lineman Aaron Donald are now looking forward to another milepost in their travelogue: Arriving with former St. Louis teammates in Southern Califor-nia.

“All I know is we’ll be (playing games) at the Coliseum,” Gurley said a few days before the Super Bowl. “To be continued.”

Said Donald: “We’re wait-ing to hear something before we start going out trying to find some place to live and things like that.”

Coordinating the franchise’s move from St. Louis to Los An-geles is one of many tasks that will keep the Rams busy during the NFL off-season, which offi-cially began following the Den-ver Broncos’ Super Bowl victory over the Carolina Panthers on Feb. 7. The new league year be-gins next month.

Tuesday is the first day that

teams can designate franchise or transition players.

Cornerback Janoris Jenkins is among 18 Rams players who will become free agents in March, and he is regarded as a possible candidate to get a franchise tag. Players in that situation are re-quired to stay with their current team for one season and they earn no less than the average of the top five salaries at their posi-tion, or 120 percent of their pre-vious year’s salary, whichever is greater.

The NFL scouting combine begins Feb. 23 at Lucas Oil Sta-dium in Indianapolis.

California’s Jared Goff, North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz and Memphis’ Paxton Lynch are among the quarterbacks who will be participating. Rams coach Jeff Fisher and General Manager Les Snead have said that Case Keenum would go into training camp as the Rams’ starting quar-terback. But Fisher also noted that “we’re always looking.”

Teams can begin contract ne-gotiations with unrestricted free agents on March 7, two days be-fore the signing period officially begins. Jenkins, cornerback Tru-maine Johnson, safety Rodney McLeod, safety/linebacker Mark Barron and defensive ends Wil-

liam Hayes and Eugene Sims are among 12 unrestricted free agents.

March 9 is the deadline to submit qualifying offers to re-stricted free agents for whom teams want to retain a right of first refusal. For the Rams, Kee-num is a priority. Snead said last month that “we’re not go-ing to let him go somewhere else.” April 22 is the deadline for restricted free agents to sign of-fer sheets. If Keenum accepts an offer sheet from another team, the Rams would have five days to match it and retain his services. If they lose him, the Rams could be granted one or more compen-satory draft picks.

On April 18, teams with re-turning head coaches can begin off-season workout programs, known as organized team activi-ties or OTAs.

“We just know April 18, we’ll be in L.A, and report to OTAs,” safety T.J. McDonald said. “We don’t know where it’s going to be at, but we’ll be there.”

The team is expected to con-duct off-season training activi-ties at the Oxnard facility that has been utilized by the Dallas Cowboys for training camp. The Rams spent three days practicing in Oxnard last August.

“I’m always ready to get back to work,” Donald said. “When the season’s over, it’s good to have a couple weeks off _ and then you get bored after a while.

“You miss football, but I’m ready to get going. It’s a new city and new place, with fans watch-ing us that are pumped up about us coming. So it’s going to be fun.”

The NFL draft will be April 28-30 in Chicago. The Rams have the 15th overall pick.

Teams can hold a three-day rookie mini-camp the weekend after the draft. Where the Rams would stage the mini-camp is still to be determined.

Gurley and Donald are look-ing forward to eventually getting settled.

“I know a couple people out there,” Gurley said. “I’ll be like the new kid on the block, just meeting people.”

Donald sounded as if he was ready for the season.

“A lot of fans out in L.A. are excited about us coming out there,” he said. “I’m ready to go out there and win some games for these guys and give these fans something to cheer about.

“That’s what it’s about: Win-ning games. And that’s what we’ve got to do.”

Rams Getting Down to Business of Off-Season Even Before They Get Out to LA

By J.P. Pelzman

The Record (Hackensack, N.J.)

Rutgers’ dismal bas-ketball season got worse Monday. Star freshman point guard Corey Sand-ers has been suspended from basketball activities for two weeks for violating team rules, the school an-nounced. Sanders will miss the next four games, includ-ing a road contest at Illinois on Tuesday night.

“Although I am disap-pointed to announce this suspension, I believe that it will serve as a valuable learning experience for Co-rey,” coach Eddie Jordan said in a statement. “The team will continue to work hard in his absence and looks forward to his return.”

Sanders, who twice has been named Big Ten rookie of the week, is averaging 16.2 points, 4.1 assists and 3.2 rebounds.

WINERY: Business Adds Tasting Room, Production as It Continues to Welcome Wine Enthusiasts on Weekends

By Kaylee Osowski

[email protected]

TOLEDO — Last spring, a winery tucked at the end of a driveway shaded by moss-cov-ered trees in this South Lewis County town took a leap, build-ing a new, larger production area and tasting room.

The growth included the purchase of wayfinding signs on Interstate 5, expanded distribu-tion and increased business for Bateaux Cellars.

“It’s going really well, we’re really excited,” part-owner Steve Padula said.

Padula estimates the win-ery’s production increased 25 percent from 2014 to 2015, and traffic at the winery has in-creased 50 percent between 2014 and 2015.

Two couples, Steve and Cheryl Padula and Rob Cum-mings and Kas Kennedy, first opened their winery in 2010 after some time spent in France. Padula said he and his wife vis-ited Cummings and Kennedy, who spent a few years living in the country.

“We got to visit them and do a lot of wine drinking,” Padula said.

They decided when they were all back in the U.S. they wanted to venture into the wine business in some way.

Western Washington’s weather isn’t the best for grow-ing wine grapes. It’s considered too wet and not hot enough. The couples sought help from Yaki-ma Valley-based winery Airfield Estates and winemaker Marcus Miller.

“In these first six years, I’ve been traveling quite frequently

… to work in his winery and to learn the craft over there,” Pad-ula said.

Bateaux Cellars gets its grapes and produces most of its wine at Airfield Estates. The Toledo-based winery did plant a few grape vines nearly three years ago, but they can take four to five years before producing harvestable fruit. Padula said in Western Washington, it could take longer to get good fruit.

“I would love to get some wine here, locally, even if I just blend it with other wines from elsewhere,” Padula said.

Prior to last spring, Bateaux Cellars was fairly limited in its space, with a shed serving as a small production area and tast-ing room.

The company’s new building

opened in April 2015, allowing for a larger production area and a tasting room.

While the larger production area at the Toledo property will allow for increased work here in Lewis County, most of the pro-duction will still take place in the Yakima Valley.

Bateaux Cellars’ total wine production is probably about 800 cases, Padula said.

On the label on every bottle in each case is a circular logo made up of the first letter of each owner’s name. The logo is similar to symbols that used to be found on the boats of French-Canadian fur traders in the 1800s. The canoes they traveled the Cowlitz River in were called bateaux, which is where the winery got its name.

“We found that word and it just stuck with us,” Padula said.

Padula works as an environ-mental consultant during the

week and has a background in science, including chemistry, which has benefited him in the winery business.

He said his wife, who is re-tired, is interested in the social aspects of the business, and Cummings and Kennedy are in-terested in the distribution side.

The wines are now sold in about 20 establishments from Vancouver to Olympia and from Toledo to the coast.

Bateaux Cellars produces seven wines depending on the

grapes that season — a moscato, a pinot gris, a white blend called Vilaine, a sauvignon blanc, a rose of sangiovese, a syrah, a cabernet sauvignon and a bor-deaux blend called Voyager.

Padula said the wines are typically on the dryer side as that’s what the owners prefer.

The next question under consideration for the business, Padula said, is whether or not to host events.

“We’re getting that question a lot,” Padula said.

The wheel has become an icon of the city and is a destination for locals and tourists alike.

With an overall height of 175 feet, it is the largest observation wheel on the West Coast.

The wheel can hold over 300 passengers at any given time and features 42 fully-enclosed gondolas, with one special VIP cabin with leather bucket seats, a glass bottom floor and a stereo system.

Extending nearly 40 feet beyond the end of the pier over Elliott Bay, the wheel provides a great sightseeing opportunity and lifts its riders to a great view of the city.

“Our whole idea was to create an attraction that was a neat thing to make people want to come down to the waterfront,” co-owner Kyle Griffith told Reuters when it first opened.

The 280,300 pound wheel is open year round.

Originally it opened to the public on June 29, 2012. It took less than a year to build, but the fruition of the wheel was a long time in the making.

Hal Grifith, a Seattle businessman, envisioned the Ferris wheel nearly 30 years earlier. Not only is the wheel a good way to see some of the city, but during special occasions it features an LED light show. Typically the wheel is lit each night by white gondola lights, but in the fall, or during University of Washington or Seattle Seahawks home football games, it is emblazoned in appropriate colors. On holidays, it typically displays a light show.

Making sure the wheel can operate in the city’s typical rainy weather, the Ferris wheel was designed to operate in all weather conditions including rain, snow, hail, sun and fog. Its only enemy is high winds, and if speeds reach 55 mph or higher, or if lightning strikes within a mile, the wheel will temporarily stop operating.

Hours of operation are based on the season.

Summer hours, July through September, are Sunday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturday.

Winter hours, from Sept. 21 through June, are Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday from 11 a.m. to midnight, Saturday from 10 a.m. to midnight and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased at the ticket booth on the pier or online.

Tickets do not include tax and cost $13 for adults, $8.50 for youth ages 4 to 11, $11 for seniors 65 and over, and $50 per person for the VIP gondola. Children up to 3 years of age are free.

Lewis (Luigi) Albanese Receives the Medal of Honor Posthumously

On Feb. 16, 1968, Private First Class Lewis Albanese (1946-1968) receives the Medal of Honor posthumously. He had been in Vietnam for three months when his unit, Compa-ny B, Fifth Battalion, Seventh Cavalry, First Cavalry Division, engaged in a major battle. On December 1, 1966, his platoon advanced through heavy forest to establish a blocking position, and came under withering fire. The troops had advanced into an ambush. The platoon attacked the enemy position while Private First Class Alba-nese covered its left flank. As he laid down covering fire, he came under new attack from a well-concealed position. This enemy position and sniper fire were to the rear of his pla-toon, which was moving to-ward another enemy location. The platoon was in danger of being trapped. Private First Class Albanese identified the enemy position, attacked the ditch, and killed the enemy there. He also shot the sniper and in hand-to-hand combat destroyed another enemy posi-tion. During the battle Lewis Albanese was shot, and he died the next day. His actions saved his platoon.

Early Years

Lewis (Luigi) Albanese was born in Cornedo Vicentino, Vicenza, Italy. When he was 2 years old, his mother, Gianni-na Albanese (b. 1927), brought him to the United States. They joined Ralph Albanese (1927-2002), Lewis’s father, who owned a Seattle pizza parlor.

Lewis grew up in Seattle and attended Franklin High School. At Franklin High School he es-pecially excelled in wood shop and volunteered to create stage sets for plays. He graduated in June 1964 and went to work at Boeing Aircraft.

He was drafted in October 1965 and took basic training at Fort Carson, Colorado. On August 2, 1966, he flew to Viet-nam. His unit soon entered the battle.

Lewis Albanese’s Vietnam War

After only three months in Vietnam, on Dec. 1, 1966, Albanese’s unit was moving through the forest to establish a defensive position. As the troops neared their objective, they came under intense enemy machine-gun fire from a well-concealed position. Private First Class Albanese was moved to cover the unit’s left flank. This brought him under withering enemy fire. When his platoon was in danger of being overrun, Albanese attacked the enemy position and neutralized it. He was wounded in this action and died the next day.

On Feb. 16, 1968, in an award ceremony held at the Pentagon, Secretary of the Army Stanley Rogers Resor (1917-2012) presented the Med-al of Honor to Private First Class Albanese posthumously.

Resor spoke of the lives that Pri-vate First Class Albanese had saved. His mother received the medal and his sister Rosita (b. 1952) was in the audience.

Remembering Lewis Albanese

On Joint Base Lewis Mc-Chord is Albanese Hall, a train-ing center, which honors the Medal of Honor recipient. In his birth city of Vicenza a street is named in his honor. An Ital-ian author, Franco Lovato, pub-lished a biography of Lewis Albanese. He described him as the only Italian-born soldier to receive the Medal of Honor in Vietnam. In Lewis, A Man, A Hero, Lovato recounts Private First Class Albanese giving his life to save others.

Another Albanese from Seattle also died in Vietnam. Sergeant Luigi Frank Albanese (1948-1968), not a relative, was killed in action on Jan. 27, 1968.

Cirque Playhouse Closes in Central Area of Seattle After 19 Years

On Feb. 16, 1969, Seattle’s Cirque Playhouse closes “per-manently” after 19 years, 17 of them at 3406 East Union Street in the Central Area. The the-ater had once been quite popu-lar, but, during the 1960s, lim-ited parking and an increase in street violence in the neighbor-hood had contributed to low at-tendance.

Gene Keene, an English ma-jor at the University of Wash-ington, founded the Cirque as First Central Staging in Broad-way Hall, Broadway and Madi-

son Streets, in 1950. The the-ater moved to the Central Area location in 1952. By 1975, the Cirque had staged 225 shows featuring actors such as Sterling Holloway, Edward Everett Hor-ton, John Carradine, Mercedes McCambridge, Hans Conreid, Ruta Lee, Eve Arden, Bob Cum-mings, and Howard Keel.

Under the leadership of founder-director Keene, the company had become “the old-est and longest running profes-sional theater in Seattle.” In the 270-seat theater, the company specialized in staging well-known performers starring in well-known musicals and com-edies.

For two years after the Play-house closing, the company used a core of six local actors to put on summer shows in Port Townsend and for the Seattle Parks Department. In March 1971, Keene reopened the Cirque as a weekend dinner theater in the Georgian Room of the Olympic Hotel (4th Av-enue and University Street) in downtown Seattle. In 1973, the Cirque moved to a remodeled bowling alley at 131 Taylor Ave-nue N, where it became the only professional dinner theater on the West Coast.

Keene sold the Cirque in 1980. The company gave its last performance on Jan. 1, 1981.

Fat Tuesday Poster Featuring Image of Scantily Clad Actress Causes Outcry in Seattle

On Feb. 16, 1978, The Se-attle Times reports that man-

agers of Fat Tuesday, the Mardi Gras-like festival in Seattle’s Pioneer Square, are receiving complaints about the official poster for the event. The poster for Seattle’s second Fat Tuesday features a fat portrayal of the actress Tuesday Weld skipping down a cobblestone street in a short dress. Women and wom-en’s groups have made com-plaints and signed petitions.

The poster was selected from 64 entries by a 15-mem-ber panel. In addition to Weld, it showed images of the actor Bob Denver, who co-starred with Weld in the television show “Dobie Gillis,” as well as Washington Governor Dixy Lee Ray (1914-1994), looking on in the background. The poster’s creator, J.C. Smith, said he put Ray in because “she adds so much color to every-thing.”

Smith said that while he was sympathetic to the wom-en’s movement, he thought the flap was “rather silly.”

Women called in to Fat Tuesday’s office to complain about the poster. Festival man-aging director Bob Foster re-ceived a protest petition from 20 Seattle Community Col-lege students. The city’s Office of Women’s Rights also com-plained and Mayor Charles Royer (b. 1939) made the post-er the subject of a staff meet-ing. Royer said the government should keep its hands off art.

About 2,000 of the post-ers were printed and sold for $3 and $5 at the celebration, which ran during the week of Feb. 13 and ended on Feb. 18. The image also appeared in festival advertising.

Why Sommeliers Hate That Wine App You’re Shoving At Them

By Michael Austin

Chicago Tribune

A short time after the Chicago restaurant Maple & Ash opened late last year, sommelier-in-residence Scott Tyree got the coldest shoul-der of his career from a customer. According to Tyree’s recounting of the incident on Face-book, it went like this:

Tyree: “Good evening, sir. I understand you are interested in red Burgundy this eve-ning. May I be of any assistance with the list?”

Guest: “No, I just photographed your Bur-gundy page on my Vivino app. I don’t need your recommendations. The app will tell me all I need to know.”

Tyree (in his head): “While you’re at it, sir, please ask your app to retrieve the wine from the cellar, place stemware on your table, and open and serve the wine. Enjoy your dinner.”

OK, everybody just calm down. First of all, Tyree says, the customer was not a jerk. He was neither uninformed about wine, nor a cheapskate. Tyree was put off by the exchange

— understandably so — but he was more con-fused as to why someone would choose soft-ware over human interaction. What eventu-ally sent him to social media was his curiosity about other sommeliers’ experience.

“I just find it really interesting that people would rather consult an app than talk,” Tyree says. “It just seems like another symptom in the technological takeover of the world.”

His Facebook post hit a nerve, sparking a lively conversation among other wine indus-try types and restaurantgoers alike.

Friends, friends, friends. Have a seat. Lis-ten. Wine is among the most app-able com-modities in the world. Few things are stud-ied, scrutinized and debated with such fervor. Enology overflows with data, in degrees mi-nuscule enough to fill a lifetime of serious study. At the same time, what could be more human and civilized than dining with wine? It is all about people in the presence of other people. This is why some restaurants have a

“no cellphones” policy. This is why you put on nice shoes and comb your hair.

I could not imagine consulting a software program when I have access to an actual hu-man expert, not only on wine but specifically on the wines and cuisine of the very restau-rant I am sitting in. Notice that I didn’t stop at “actual human.” The next word was “ex-pert.” It would seem that a person who is into wine enough to download a wine app — and to dine at a restaurant with a serious wine pro-gram, such as Maple & Ash — would under-stand the value in trusting the wine staff.

A fine-dining wine staff knows the wines in the cellar, knows the food coming out of the

kitchen, and knows how those two things go together best. It is literally their job — their profession — to know these things. What that diner did is the equivalent of traveling to a foreign country with a bilingual guide and refusing to ask her to translate the road signs, instead photographing them with a phone and letting an app tell him what they say.

Dining in restaurants is a human, social experience. It’s why people rarely go to restau-rants alone. It’s why most of the tables are out in the open. It’s why someone says “welcome” when you arrive. This is not to say that a wine app can never be useful in a restaurant. But make it an extra thing, and not the thing itself. Use it to enhance, not replace.

In an equally ridiculous app incident a cou-ple of weeks after the first one, a customer said to Tyree, “Thank you for your recommenda-tion, but Vivino disagrees with you. We’ll take the malbec instead of the Bordeaux.”

I asked Tyree if he had thoughts on what this app-reliance was all about, and he didn’t. But I do. It’s about control, and having all of the answers in your hand. My advice to you in a fine-dining situation? Give up the con-trol. Let the professionals do what they do best. Control what you want to pay, and make your preferences and prejudices known. Beyond that, trust the people who work in the restau-rant. It doesn’t require a full surrender. But at least let them help you. At least look them in the eye and talk to them. Sommeliers are people too, you know.

Technology can be great. It improves and sometimes saves lives. It educates and enter-tains. (On that last point I highly recommend a recent cat-riding-a-vacuum video that I came across and watched. Twice.) But let’s not replace human expertise with algorithms. If you had teeth issues, would you trust the word of your dentist over a recommendation that popped up on your phone? Giving up some control and trusting an expert does not make you weak. It only makes you more human.

Maple & Ash was hopping the night of the first app debacle, when the customer said to Tyree, “I don’t need your recommendations. The app will tell me all I need to know.” Frus-trated by the brushoff, Tyree assigned the table to an associate and went on to answer ques-tions at other tables. Had it been slower, Tyree says, he might have returned to the app table to get into that customer’s mind and find out what was behind his phone devotion.

“I wish I would have been able to have a conversation with him about it,” Tyree says in complete sincerity.

In the e-parlance of the day, I say: “a con-versation with him” — LOL! ;)

Answer to Puzzle on Page Life 4

ADVICE: Dear Abby

DEAR ABBY: My sister-in-law has asked me to pay for re-pairs to the passenger seat of her car. She was picking up my 9-year-old to stay the night, and when he got inside, he moved the seat forward to bet-ter fit his stature. She got upset and said, “The seat was bro-ken. We had it set just right for me when I’m the passenger.”

Since he adjusted it she hasn’t been able to reset it. When I asked if there was a note on the dash that read “Do not move seat,” she said no. Then I asked, if this was her best friend’s son, would she be requesting money to repair an already broken seat? Her response was, “No.” Am I wrong to think she was out of line to ask? — FUMING IN WASHINGTON STATE

DEAR FUMING: You’re not wrong. If your sister-in-law had warned your son not to touch the seat before he adjusted it, she might have a leg to stand on. However, if she’s short of money and was baby-sitting your son as a favor, in the interest of keeping peace in the family, offer to con-tribute to the cost of the repair.

DEAR ABBY: What are the dangers of driving while on strong painkillers? Since codeine is a controlled substance that you have to sign for to receive the prescription, does it impair dis-tance vision and reaction time?

My elderly dad says as long as he has taken the pill the night before, it’s all right for him to drive. He takes about 12 different medications every day, and the pain medicine must stay in his

system at all times to work effec-tively.

Are other drivers in danger when he drives under the influ-ence of prescription drugs? Can he be arrested if he hits someone? His car is already dented because he hit something. It would be a shame for him to cause some in-nocent driver who encounters him on the highway to be crip-pled or die. What do you think?

— MEDICATED IN RALEIGH, N.C.

DEAR MEDICATED: I am not an expert in pharmacology. I suggest you compile a list of all the drugs your father is taking -- both prescription drugs and the over-the-counter variety. Take the list to his pharmacist and ask these questions. He or she can give you the answers you need because some drugs can interact with each other.

DEAR ABBY: A friend and I had a falling-out over a manners thing. When three people eat out together and everyone orders their own dessert, is it rude to not allow someone to take a bite of yours?

This friend wanted to taste another one’s dessert and the guy said no. The friend then claimed the refuser was rude because he didn’t want to share. Was the person wrong to have declined?

— JUST ONE BITE DEAR JUST ONE: Whether

to share one’s food is a matter of personal preference. No rule of etiquette demands that someone do so just because it has been re-quested, and it wasn’t rude to re-fuse.
