QUICK REACTION: Only Minor Injuries After Driver Accelerates Off Tracks Just In Time

By Stephanie Schendel

[email protected]

A pickup truck stopped on the railroad tracks was struck by a train travelling at 79 miles per hour Saturday afternoon near Tenino. Three people were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Emergency personnel respond-ed to a car and train collision near Tenino at about 2:30 p.m., said Trooper Guy Gill, the spokesper-

son for Washington State Patrol. The Amtrak train traveling at a high rate of speed struck the front end of the 2004 Ford F-150.

The people in the car were delivering phone books to some of the residences located on the street, Gill said. The driver, a

52-year-old Olympia man, was in the car with a woman and his two grandchildren.

They had momentarily stopped on the tracks so one of the children could go put a phone book on the doorstep of a house, Gill said. The child

got back into the car, and that is when one of the children saw the train and screamed.

The driver didn’t see what set of tracks the train was travel-ing on so he just put the truck in reverse and stepped on the gas, Gill said. There were tire marks on the track from the sudden ac-celeration.

“If there would have been a second-delay in his reaction there would have been multiple fatalities,” Gill said. “His quick reaction saved all their lives.”

If the car would have been three feet forward when it was struck by the train there would have been fatalities, Gill said.

The driver had the most

significant injuries including cracked ribs and other broken bones, Gill said. The woman had a head laceration that need-ed stitches, one child had a mi-nor scratch and the other was without injury. One of the chil-dren, the man and the woman were all transported to St. Pe-ter’s Hospital in Olympia.

The conductor who saw the car on the tracks did everything right, Gill said. He went into emergency shut down but there was nothing he could have done to completely stop.

“He did a great job,” Gill said. “He followed his training.”

The truck was totalled and later towed from the scene.

“If there would have been a second-delay in his reaction there would have been multiple

fatalities.”

Train Collides With Truck Near Tenino

Film Company Considers Tenino for Reality TV ShowPILOT IN THE WORKS:

Show Inspired by Profile of City’s Mayor

By Bianca Fortis

[email protected]

The city of Tenino may soon reach national fame.

A New York-based film pro-duction company, Punched in the Head Productions, is float-ing the idea of featuring Tenino in a reality TV show.

The head producer of the company read a profile of the city’s mayor, Eric Strawn, and contacted some of the individu-al council members about film-ing the show.

A camera crew visited Teni-no last week to film a pilot and will pitch the idea to television networks.

Strawn said the first few days of filming went well and he wel-comes the attention for his city.

“I think it could be a positive light for Tenino,” he said. “Peo-ple can see what's going on.”

Tenino has been mired in controversy since Strawn was elected in November.

Before he was even elected into office, the city council

passed an ordinance stripping Strawn of some of his mayoral power. Within a few weeks of being sworn in, the former clerk-treasurer installed a gate inside City Hall to prevent Strawn from accessing city records.

Since then, he and other councilors have been at odds with one another, most visibly during council meetings every other week, during which the tension in the room is palpable and members of the council snipe at one another.

Most recently, it became public that one council member, Frank Anderson, owes the city more than $140,000 in unpaid

fines for code violations and water bills. At the last council meeting, Strawn attempted to add the issue on the meeting agenda, but couldn’t before oth-er councilors had approved the agenda.

Members of the public have been candid about how they feel about the goings-on in Tenino. Many of them spoke out during the last council meeting, and parade-goers on Saturday held

signs that said, “Arrest Frank Anderson for theft.” Individuals have also held tongue-in-cheek fundraisers for Anderson: sev-eral Tenino bands joined to-gether during Oregon Trails Day and performed as the “Frank Anderson Project,” a so-called musical tribute to the councilor. The performance was free, but any proceeds made were to be used for Anderson’s water bill. In reality, the donations were for

Tenino’s quarry pool. The Old Highway 99 Diner featured two meals called the “Frank Ander-son SOS special” and a “Mayor Eric Bologna Sandwich” — 50 percent of the proceeds of each went to the pool.

Next Thursday, Aug. 9, Glen Morgan of the Freedom Foun-dation will give a presentation about how to recall an elected official.

The Lewis County Commis-sion on Monday approved an up-dated strategic plan, identifying a new set of goals for the county.

The new plan is for 2012 through 2015. The update was developed by six teams com-prised of elected officials and other county employees over a period of six months. The plan includes 10 general goals; under each goal are specific objectives, strategies, timelines and estimat-ed cost pertaining to each goal.

Included among the goals are improving citizen access to county services, preparing for economic

development opportunities, and the development a high utilizer identification program for those in the criminal justice system.

Lewis County Commis-sioner Ron Averill said there are some challenges in following a strategic plan, specifically find-ing funding sources for some individual projects or programs.

However, it is still important that those issues be addressed.

“I feel there are good projects out there, issues that we recog-nize are the needs of the citizens of Lewis County,” Lewis County Commissioner Lee Grose said.

“We will continue to work on them as they come up.”

GOALS IN THE LEWIS COUNTY STRATEGIC PLAN • Develop a high utilizer identification program in the criminal

justice system.• Develop and implement Lewis County Government Emergency

Action Plan.• Plan, prepare and practice for response to public health emergencies.• Improve access of county services to citizens.• Increase effectiveness of social, medical, behavioral and preven-

tive health services available in county.• Creation of Youth Traffic Court.• Prepare for economic development opportunities.• Improve citizen access to county services.• Improve public safety facilities.• Improve efficiency and effectiveness of governmental

operations.

cHanges: New Leaders Take Over County’s Enrichment Program

by Kyle spurr

[email protected]

The Catholic Community Services of Western Washing-ton, which has provided services at the senior centers in Lewis County for the past three years, told the county commissioners in June that the senior enrich-ment program at the centers had become too expensive and would be cancelled.

Since then, seniors asked the commissioners if the county could

take over the program again. The Lewis County commis-

sioners agreed to help and new site managers started enrich-ment program work on July 1 at the senior centers in the county.

Lewis County Health Direc-tor Danette York said the county originally ran the senior centers until 2009, when all the pro-grams were transitioned to the Catholic Community Services.

The Catholic Community Services will still be in charge of nutrition and transporta-tion while the county runs the enrichment program, which fo-cuses on recreation.

Lou Morales, the new site manager for the Twin Cities Se-

nior Center, said the enrichment program provides computer classes, art classes and other types of entertainment.

“I’ve had a lot of suggestions (for activities),” Morales said.

“But my major focus right now is to make this a gathering place for the seniors and their friends.”

The other new site leaders for the enrichment program are Elaine Reed at the Winlock Se-nior Center and Donna Royal at the Morton Senior Center.

Site Managers Diana Haug in Toledo and Peggy Hirte-Uh-lorn in Packwood both worked at the senior centers before the county took over the enrich-ment program on July 1.

Lying in Wait: Castle Rock Man Hides in Storage Lot in Attempt to Catch Thieves, Watches Them Steal for 30 Minutes Before Calling 911

by stephanie schendel

[email protected]

A Castle Rock man attempt-ed to catch the thieves who stole copper wiring from his Toledo storage facility by camping out there over the weekend, wait-ing for the suspects to show up, according to the Lewis County Sheriff ’s Office.

When the thieves did show up, the 51-year-old man watched the suspects steal from him for 30 minutes before accidentally

scaring them off before police arrived.

Deputies responded to a call of a burglary at 1:13 a.m. Mon-day on an enclosed storage lot for heavy equipment on the 900 block of south Jackson Highway in Toledo, said Chief Deputy Stacy Brown from the sheriff ’s office.

The owner of the storage lot told police that there had been ongoing theft of copper wire from some of the rock crushers stored on his property, Brown said.

In an attempt to catch the thieves, the man hid on the property Friday and Saturday night to wait for the thieves to show up, she said. When they didn’t show up, the man tried again to catch the thieves Sun-day night.

One of the thieves arrived on the property at 12:30 a.m., and, from his hiding spot, the man watched the suspect cut wire from a generator trailer for about 30 minutes, she said. At about 1 a.m., another male sus-pect arrived on a bike.

Upon the arrival of the sec-ond suspect, the man came out of his hiding spot, shouted

“Freeze!” and shone a light on them, Brown said. He then shot off the gun, which he told depu-ties he had with him for protec-tion, into the ground.

The two male suspects took off running in an unknown di-rection, and then the man called 911, she said. Deputies respond-ed but were unable to locate ei-ther suspects.

The man told police that while the suspects came within

30 feet of his hiding spot, they were not close enough to get a good enough look at either of them for a description, she said.

“The sheriff ’s office would like remind people to call 911 immediately upon observing a crime,” Brown said. “In this in-cident, the sheriff ’s office could have responded and potentially taken the suspects into custody; however, because 911 wasn’t called for approximately 30 minutes, the suspects were able to escape.”

Approximately 100 feet of in-dustrial wire was stolen, valued at about $800, in addition to an unknown amount of wire from a rock crusher and a conveyer belt. The total estimated loss is approximately $24,000.

Similar thefts occurred in the area during the past few

weeks in that area, Brown said. The man first discovered the theft on Thursday when his neighbor found copper wire in a ditch nearby.

The man checked his equip-ment and noticed that copper wire had been stolen from a rock crusher, and then on Friday he realized an additional theft of wiring, she said.

The suspects left a red, Sch-winn Roadmaster mountain bike and wire and bolt cutters behind, which were collected for evidence, Brown said. Police also located a freshly cut hole in the fence and matted grass.

Anyone with any more infor-mation about this crime is urged to contact the sheriff ’s office or Lewis County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-748-6422.

Man Fires Gun After Witnessing Wire Theft

ongoing: Planes, Trains, Automobiles Festival Continues This Week

by Kyle spurr

[email protected]

North Market Boulevard in Chehalis was closed to traffic Saturday for people to dance in the street, show off their vintage cars and meet the local “Leg-endary Wolfman” during the fifth annual Chariots Car Club Car Show.

More than 125 classic cars lined Market Boulevard for the show, which was a part of the annual Planes Trains and Auto-mobiles festival.

David Lopez, of Centralia, brought his 1937 Ford pickup truck to the downtown Chehalis car show and debuted improve-ments he made to the formerly broken down truck.

Lopez said he started re-building the old pickup more than four years ago.

“Little by little, me and my buddy built if from the ground up,” Lopez said.

Down Market Boulevard, Scooter Lopes, of Chehalis, showed off his 1926 Ford Model T.

Lopes said he found the frame of the car in woods out-

side of Pablo, Mont. about four years ago.

“I pulled it out of the trees,” Lopes said.

For the past three summers, Lopes said he worked on the car, which was rotted out and covered in pine needles when he found it.

Lopes finished work on the Model T three months ago, just in time for the Billetproof event in Centralia.

With the Model T mostly re-stored to its original condition, Lopes said many people stopped by his car on Saturday to admire the classic design.

“It’s fun to see people’s re-actions,” Lopes said. “I built this car with stuff just lying around.”

Along with the Chariots Car Club Car Show, Planes

Trains and Automobiles kicked off Friday with an “Art Walk,” an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast at the Lewis County Historical Museum, steam train rides and a two-day Rally Cross event at the Port of Che-halis.

The celebration of automo-tives will continue through Fri-day at the Chehalis-Centralia Airport for tours and rides on a B-17 bomber from the CAF Ari-zona Wing Aviation Museum in Mesa, Ariz.

Airfair 2012 will wrap up on Saturday with an open house at the Chehalis-Centralia Airport, airplane displays, free flights

with the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Young Eagles pro-gram for kids 8-17 years old and biplane rides.

LONG SHOTS: An Artist From Bucoda Among Candidates Challenging Frontrunners Jay Inslee and Rob McKenna

By Rachel La Corte

The Associated Press

OLYMPIA — If you had thought Democrat Jay Inslee and Republican Rob McKenna were the only candidates in Washington state's governor's race, you'd be wrong.

Seven other Washingtonians are also vying to succeed cur-rent Democrat-ic Gov. Chris Gregoire, and while they're not reflected in the polls or most media coverage, a few of these un-known-to-most candidates are running cam-paigns — some more active than others — even though they're likely to be electoral footnotes after the top-two pri-mary on Aug. 7.

One is a pas-tor who led a successful fight against scantily clad baristas at coffee kiosks in Snohom-ish County, and is the only one among the "also running" group who has an organized campaign and is raising significant money and regularly holding campaign events. One candidate's sole platform is to raise taxes on cig-arettes by $10 a pack. Another wants to see a "holistic gover-norship."

All are registered voters and paid a fee of nearly $1,700, the only requirements necessary to run for governor in Washington state.

Here's a look at those other candidates seeking the top of-fice in the state:

•••

JAVIER O. LOPEZ, retired, lives in Bucoda, says he is “one of the greatest artists of today’s world.”

PARTY: RepublicanPLATFORM: Lopez’s web-

site discusses the need to ad-dress transportation costs, the state’s education system, and eq-uity in taxation, but when asked for specifics, he railed against the media and said “I have noth-ing to tell you, because you are an usurper.”

PRIOR ELECTED EXPE-RIENCE: Community Action Committee, Los Angeles, Ca-lif. Unsuccessfully ran for both governor in 2008, and Bucoda Town Council in 2007.

MOTIVATION TO RUN, AND STAY IN THE RACE: “Christianity.”

WHAT HE FEELS HE OFFERS THAT THE MAIN-STREAM CANDIDATES DON’T: Wouldn’t answer. In the voter’s pamphlet, he writes

“I only regret having one life to give to my country and it has al-ready been given to the people.”

CAMPAIGN OFFICE: Un-known.

SHAHRAM HADIAN, a pas-tor from Everett originally from Iran who often speaks of his conversion to Christianity from Islam.

PARTY: Republican.PLATFORM: He says he

will stand up to public sector unions, will oppose efforts to legalize gay marriage, and will fight the implementation of the federal health care law that was recently upheld by the U.S. Su-preme Court.

PRIOR ELECTED EXPE-RIENCE: None. Ran for the

Legislature in 2010, but lost in the primary.

MOTIVATION TO RUN, AND STAY IN THE RACE: Hadian said that his experience with the campaign of citizens who were opposed to pasty and thong-wearing coffee baristas in Snohomish county in 2009

"was an affirmation of the abil-ity of the impact I was able to have." (The Snohomish County Council ultimately passed an or-dinance that effectively banned the practice, requiring that bi-kini barista stands with partially nude employees or sexually sug-gestive signs be licensed as adult entertainment). He referred to his decision to run for governor as a calling. "Do I admit this is David and Goliath? Absolutely. I believe we are going to see a miracle."

WHAT HE FEELS HE OFFERS THAT THE MAIN-STREAM CANDIDATES DON'T: He argues that he is the true conservative candidate in the race, and specifically mentions McKenna's stand on abortion (McKenna says he sup-ports a woman's right to have an abortion) and McKenna's re-cent statements that he wouldn't fight implementation of the health care law now that the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld it.

PRIOR ELECTED EXPE-RIENCE: None

their side."WHAT HE FEELS HE

He also calls for a reduction of the work week to 35 hours and retirement at age 60.

MOTIVATION TO RUN, AND STAY IN THE RACE: "My inner voice."

WHAT HE FEELS HE OFFERS THAT THE MAIN-STREAM CANDIDATES DON'T: He says that one of the differences between he and In-slee and McKenna are on fiscal and budget issues.

When we look for the bright spots in our lives and communities, the people who accomplish so much good that it’s hard to imagine making it without them, we see people like Toni Nelson.

This longtime East Lewis County social worker and vol-unteer earned her spot on the front page last week. One of the many people who jumped at the chance to honor Nelson described her as a “one-woman community mobilizer.”

Nelson, 49, resigned from her position as advocate for vic-tims of domestic violence and sexual assault at the White Pass

Community Services Coali-tion in February due to health reasons.

She has battled cancer off and on for decades, and despite the fatigue from the illnesses, she has given of herself to co-found and lead the East Lewis County Relay for Life.

“Even with her not feeling so well, she’d always be one of the first people to volunteer because she loves her community,” said Debbie Campbell, who leads the United Way of Lewis County and who knows a thing or two about volunteer leadership.

Even after resigning from the social service agency where she worked for seven years, Nelson stayed on as a volunteer with Community Services Coalition in matters of sexual assault.

Nelson has battled cancer in her own body while fighting to make life better for domestic violence victims and others in need. We join with her many friends in East Lewis County in saluting her and thanking her for her ongoing service.

Help Solve Flooding Problem

At a crucial time in the on-going debate over how to reduce damage from flooding, the city

of Chehalis is looking for a vol-unteer to fill a key position on the group that is in the middle of that debate.

As detailed in The Chronicle on Thursday, the Mint City is accepting applications for mem-bership on the Chehalis River Basin Flood Authority. Some other bodies on the Flood Au-thority, including Centralia and Lewis County, are represented by elected officials. That was the case in Chehalis for a time, but the council representative, Chad Taylor, couldn’t continue to devote the time needed, ac-cording to City Manager Merlin MacReynold.

The City Council called for volunteers to replace him, and was happy with the work done by the previous citizen repre-sentative, Julie Balmelli-Powe, MacReynold said.

Applications are due by Aug. 15. The position is open to anyone living in the Chehalis School District.

This is a crucial position as the valley pushes for a truly ef-fective basinwide solution. We encourage people who care about flooding, including those who remember the pain felt by victims upriver in Pe Ell, Doty, Boistfort and Adna, to apply for the position.

Thanks for Years of Service and InspirationOur Views

The Right Size for a Police Dept.

OpinionMain 8 • The Chronicle, Centralia/Chehalis, Wash., Tuesday, July 31, 2012

How did someone decide that 33 commissioned officers for the Centralia Police Department was the right number? Why does Chehalis have 16 officers?

Well, obviously the ultimate controlling number of police officers in a community is the available funding which comes from you, the taxpayers. But there are some standards and guidelines used to make recom-mendations to the governing body (in my case the city council via the city manager). An in-dustry standard, originally put forth by the F.B.I., was that there should be a minimum of two police of-ficers for every 1,000 persons in a community. But even that has its excep-tions. Most sheriff’s offices have far less than that mainly because their customers are in a rural setting for the most part and there are fewer “centers of commerce and services” that bring people closer together. And frankly, when people are in continuing close proximity to each other, our job gets busier. Centralia has a population of about 16,500, served by 33 commissioned of-ficers; two per thousand so we fit the standard. Chehalis has 16 of-ficers serving the needs of about 7,200 residents; about 2.3 officers per thousand. But this only tells part of the story.

Other factors such as calls for service, geographic layout and size of the com-munity, crime rate, and many other variables come together to “right size” the police de-partment. For example, both Centralia and Chehalis have shopping centers and districts that cause daytime populations to swell and calls for service to

increase. Also, we are located right on the freeway and that greatly increases the traffic both around the freeway exits and in the downtown core.

Centralia’s demographics make for a community that requires considerable policing. Our high unemployment rate, large percentage of low-cost rentals; many with absentee landlords, along with a sig-nificant number of individuals living in poverty combine to in-crease our calls for service. Add to that the culture of this com-munity, a railroad town where individual toughness has been a hallmark, and you have a busy police department.

While our crime rate has fallen by more than 43 percent in the past eight years, our rate of violent crime is still well above area and state averages. Our calls for service exceed 22,000 each year and the number of drug-re-lated arrests in Centralia is well above the averages of neighbor-ing jurisdictions.

Moreover, the nature of po-lice work now is such that more time is being spent on each case. Court requirements have increased the need to get search warrants, victims and witnesses must be interviewed and their tape statements transcribed for the prosecutor’s office, evidence must be tagged, logged , and stored; and then there are the reports that must be written. Processing a DUI (with booking and reports) can take an officer off the road for more than four hours. Even the service of an arrest warrant takes an officer off the street for more than one hour (the arrest, booking the subject into jail in Chehalis, and writing the report).

CPD has enjoyed strong city council support for public safety in our community. Based on their priorities for the department developed in a workshop with

council in 2005, the department was reorganized in a manner that could implement their chosen public safety strategies for our community. The council wanted a strong commitment to drug enforcement and gang suppres-sion; we now have a three-person anti-crime unit that concentrates on street crimes with an empha-sis on drugs, gangs, and policing special events. The council want-ed to forge a strong relationship with the school district. We have a joint funded school resource of-ficer who works full-time during the school year at school district facilities, mostly at the high school and middle school.

Councilors advised that a greater commitment to traffic and safety was needed; we have a two-person traffic team that concentrates on speed, seat belt, DUI, and school zone safety enforcement. That team has also implemented a traffic school for first-time offenders to avoid a traffic ticket appearing on their driving record.

In 2006 the city council advised that code enforcement (how our community looks) was an important part of pub-lic safety. The department, in cooperation with our building department, has an active code enforcement program.

Parking was a recent issue. Again, the department imple-mented a parking enforcement program pursuant to direction from the council. When the municipal court required court-room security, the department added that program as well.

So at the end of the day, you get the law enforcement services and priorities your elected coun-cil deem important. My job is to work for the city manager to make sure we are responsive to our community’s needs.

Bob Berg is the Centralia Chief of Police.

After driving four 11-year-old girls east over White Pass last week, I pulled to the side of the road, checking email on my cell phone while waiting for a bus to arrive at Clear Lake Grace Brethren Camp.

It’s called multitasking, something second nature to busy people overwhelmed with too much to do and too little time to do it.

But at the mountain camp-ground west of Naches, cell service is spotty, and checking email often resulted in a yellow notice flashing “No Network Avail-able.”

They say God works in mysterious ways, and I saw his hand in limited cell phone service during the Toledo First Baptist Church kids’ camp. That’s be-cause for the first time in a long time, I was truly present in the present.

Instead of listening with one ear, scanning email with my eyes, and thinking ahead to a list of projects to accomplish, I was able to be present with the children every moment during the week. It’s peaceful living in the present.

I remember after my com-puter crashed last spring, wait-ing for a verdict on whether it needed repairing or replacing, I found myself without instant access to the outside world via email and Internet — for the first time in a long time. Instead, I dug out my knitting needles and taught basic stitches to my daughter and her friends.

Sometimes it’s easy to over-look the price we pay today for electronic gadgets connecting people instantaneously to one another — not the monetary cost but the time devoured as we check emails a dozen times a day, peruse Facebook entries, or search the Internet for informa-tion.

This year Toledo took its largest group ever to camp — 83 first- through sixth-graders, 38 teenagers, and 32 adults. Dona-tions provided 22 campers with full or partial scholarships.

During an early service, af-ter kids and adults climbed 48 steps to reach the chapel on a hill, Pastor Joe Martin saw a lit-tle girl chattering as a teen and an adult tried to keep her quiet.

“God has no beginning or ending,” he said during his ser-mon. She piped up, “Well, does

he have a middle?” “Kids are very concrete

thinkers,” Martin said Sunday. “They don’t think until their face hits the concrete.”

When a teen told him about a few challenging kids in his cabin, Martin said, “Now you know how your parents feel.”

He added, “I love kids be-cause they remind me how much grace and patience I need.”

Perhaps it’s a stereotype, but teenagers often seem self-ab-sorbed, which is why I marveled as I saw them leading children in songs, teaching Bible studies, soothing youngsters’ scrapes, and wiping away tears. The entire camp is set up to develop leadership and ministry skills in teenagers.

“The kids need adults. The youth need adults. We need each other,” Pastor Mike Stavig said Sunday. “We are the body of Christ. We can’t walk alone.”

So while the cell phone screen flashed the notice “no network available,” I found my-self very much part of a network fostering faith and fellowship in the hearts of children.

Speaking of networks, I saw dozens of people working to-gether last weekend to provide blueberry pancakes and sau-sages during the Planes, Trains and Automobiles weekend in Chehalis Saturday morning and during the Pioneer Pie Social Sunday afternoon.

We often hear political rhet-oric (something I didn’t miss at all) hammering at corporate America’s greediness, but last weekend I saw small and large businesses giving donations of coffee, pies, and cakes to raise money for the Lewis County Historical Museum. Even in a stagnant economy, small busi-ness is the backbone of America, giving what it can to help the community.

The Olympian

OLYMPIA — The Washing-ton State Patrol's use-of-force policy can be boiled down to a single sentence: "Only reason-able force to lawfully perform an officer's duties shall be used."

But choosing the appropriate level of force can be complicated, said Cpl. Ryan Spurling, who has taught control tactics to in-coming State Patrol cadets for 14 years.

Officers are trained to "rea-sonably" intrude upon a person's constitutional right against un-reasonable search and seizure if the individual is breaking, or suspected of, breaking the law, Spurling said.

The U.S. Supreme Court said in a 1989 opinion that "rea-sonableness" is determined by a

"careful balancing of 'the nature and quality of the intrusion on the individual's Fourth Amend-ment interests' against the coun-tervailing governmental interest at stake."

Last month, a jury heard a case in which two Olympia po-lice officers punched, tased and used a technique similar to a

chokehold on a 27-year-old man who lost consciousness during a Feb. 25 struggle outside a resi-dence on Madrona Place.

The defendant, Jason Mann, was charged with two counts of assault of a police officer for allegedly resisting the officers during the struggle. His attor-ney, Deborah Murphy, argued at trial that Mann acted in self-defense in resisting the officers' excessive force.

The jury could not decide whether Mann assaulted the of-ficers. The jury hung, with 10 jurors voting to convict Mann of assaulting the officers and two voting to acquit him.

Jurors were not asked to con-sider whether the officers over-stepped the "reasonable force" standard in their interactions with Mann, but the case put the officers' progressive application of force during the struggle with Mann under a microscope.

The Olympia Police Depart-ment has said its officers fol-lowed the department's policies and procedures. Those policies follow the same "reasonableness" standard used by the courts, Po-lice Chief Ronnie Roberts told The Olympian.

Spurling, 46, who has a fourth-degree black belt in kara-te, sat down with The Olympian in a recent interview to explain the process by which officers de-cide how to legally use force, and how he teaches cadets to make the right decisions.

Officers deciding to use force must weigh what's reason-able while making "split-second decisions in fast, tense, rapidly evolving situations," Spurling said, quoting a 1989 U.S. Su-preme Court opinion, Graham v. Connor.

When an officer pulls a car over for speeding, for instance, he or she doesn't know whether the driver is an armed, fleeing felon or a scared, otherwise law-abiding citizen who simply has a lead foot or is late for work, Spurling said.

An error in judgment can be fatal. The number of law en-forcement officers dying in the line of duty in the United States increased by 14 percent between 2011 and 2012, according to the National Law Enforcement Offi-cers Memorial Fund.

Recent instances of officers killed in the line of duty, includ-ing four Lakewood officers shot

to death in 2009, should be at the forefront of any officer's mind, said Spurling, who can reel off a list of officers killed by suspects who took the officer's firearm

— King County sheriff 's deputy Richard Herzog, killed in 2002; Chelan County sheriff 's deputy Saul Gallegos, killed in 2003; and Federal Way police officer Patrick Maher, also killed in 2003.

An officer's use of force should always be proportionate to the threat facing the public safety or the officer, and law en-forcement agencies need clear policies on when and how force is to be used, said Doug Honig, director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington.

"They need to train officers well in those policies, with lead-ership making crystal clear that excessive use of force will not be tolerated," he said. "And of-ficers need training on how to de-escalate confrontations, so that force isn't used in situa-tions where it can reasonably be avoided.

"If a police department does not respond effectively to an in-cident of excessive use of force, this undermines community

trust and makes it harder for the department to do its essential job of protecting public safety."

Ultimately, an officer must interpret situations and decide how much force to use on a case-by-case basis. And, Spurl-ing notes, those circumstances are like snowflakes: No two are alike.

Technically, Spurling said, "use of force" starts with the simplest of actions — an officer turning on a patrol car's lights and siren to pull over a vehicle.

"Use of force is woven into every-thing that we do," he said.

During 110 hours of class-room and hands-on training, cadets are shown the difference between lawful and excessive force, including during life-threatening situations. They're also taught to meet resistance with a higher level of force in or-der to gain control and prevent injury to the officer or the other person, Spurling said.

Officers are told to look first at the level of resistance the per-son is offering: none, noncom-pliance, verbal, active, assaultive or life-threatening.

Colorado Suspect Charged With Murder, Attempted Murder, Having Explosives and Using Guns

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — James Holmes appeared just as dazed as he did in his first court appearance last week after the deadly Colorado movie the-ater shootings.

In a packed Denver-area courtroom Monday, Holmes, 24, sat silently and did not react as he heard formal charges against him, including first-degree mur-der for each of the 12 who died and attempted murder for each of the 58 people who were in-jured in one of the deadliest mass shootings in recent U.S. history.

Frustrated Conservatives Work to Cull Moderate Republicans

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Frustrated by their inability to achieve some policy goals, con-servatives in Republican states are turning against moderate members of their own party, trying to drive them out of state legislatures to clear the way for reshaping government across a wide swath of mid-America controlled by the GOP.

Political groups are helping finance the efforts by support-ing primary election challenges targeting several dozen moder-ate Republicans in the Midwest and South, especially prominent lawmakers who run key state committees.

Apple, Samsung Face Off in Federal Court Over Patents to iPhones, iPads

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — With billions of dollars and control of the U.S. smartphone and computer tablets markets at stake, jury selection began Mon-day in a closely watched trial be-tween two of the world’s leading tech companies over patents.

Apple Inc. filed a lawsuit against Samsung Electronics Co. last year alleging the world’s larg-est technology company’s smart-phones and computer tablets are illegal knockoffs of its popular iPhone and iPad products.

Cupertino-based Apple is demanding $2.5 billion in dam-ages, an award that would dwarf the largest patent-related verdict to date.

Samsung countered that Ap-ple is doing the stealing and that some of the technology at issue

— such as the rounded rectan-gular designs of smartphones and tablets — has been industry standards for years.

Kentucky Man Fulfilling Brother’s Dying Wish by Giving $500 Tips; Has Raised Nearly $50,000

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — As Seth Collins finished his penne pasta at a Lexington restaurant, he called over the waitress to ful-fill his brother’s dying wish.

He explained to her that his 30-year-old brother Aaron re-cently passed away, but that he’d left instructions in his will to leave a $500 tip for a server.

Then Seth Collins handed the waitress a stack of $20 bills.

The waitress, Chelsea Pow-ell, took the money reluctantly and then smiled and said: “Are you kidding me?” She laughed nervously and had to cover her mouth from the excitement be-fore giving Collins a hug.

The big tip at Bella Notte restaurant was the second $500 gratuity Seth Collins has left since Aaron Collins died on July 7. And the tips will keep coming, thanks to more than $47,000 in donations from people inspired by Aaron Collins’ dying act of charity.

World in Brief

Tens of Thousands Flee Syria’s Embattled City of Aleppo

BUKULMEZ, Turkey (AP) — Smoking a cigarette outside a Turkish hospital near the Syrian border, a man in a gray gown and flip-flops held his sleeping 2-year-old daughter, Aya. On Aya’s right eye was a bandage. In her left hand was a chocolate bar.

Aya lost her eye when she was struck by shrapnel from a shell that also killed her 8-month-old brother, Mohammad, and their mother. The father and daughter were among some 200,000 peo-ple who the U.N. said late Sun-day have fled Syria’s largest city, Aleppo, during days of clashes between rebels and the military.

Aleppo residents, some se-verely wounded, are packing up belongings and loading them onto cars, trucks and even mo-torcycles to seek temporary shel-ter in rural villages and schools outside the city and dusty tents across the border in Turkey.

Lost Keys Are Latest London Olympic Mishap

LONDON (AP) — An ap-pearance by the hapless comic character Mr. Bean was one of the highlights of the London Olympics opening ceremony. Yet a series of Keystone Cops moments has games organizers hoping they don’t keep up this slapstick routine in real life.

London police acknowl-edged Monday that last week they lost a set of keys to Wem-bley — one of the most famous soccer stadiums in the world and an Olympic venue in Lon-don — and had been forced to hastily change the stadium locks.

It was the latest unintention-ally comic moment to beset the games and has raised fears of what else may be in store.

Swiss Olympic Team Expels Soccer Player for Racist, Violent Twitter Message

LONDON (AP) — A Swiss soccer player was expelled from the Olympics on Monday for his threatening and racist message on Twitter about South Koreans. The comments by Michel Mor-ganella came hours after Swit-zerland lost to South Korea.

Morganella “discriminated against, insulted and violated the dignity of the South Ko-rea football team as well as the South Korean people,” Swiss Olympic team chief Gian Gilli said through a translator at a news conference. He said the player was stripped of his Olym-pic accreditation.

Morganella is the second ath-lete kicked off a London Olym-pics team for offensive Twitter comments, following Greek tri-ple jumper Voula Papachristou.

He posted the message after playing in the 2-1 loss against South Korea on Sunday. He said in the tweet that South Koreans

“can go burn” and referred to them as a “bunch of mongoloids.”

Comments on Israel Bring Palestinian Outrage on Mideast Visit

GDANSK, Poland (AP) — It wasn’t supposed to be this way.

Mitt Romney outraged Pal-estinians on Monday, stirring fresh controversy on his visit to Israel just days after insult-ing the British on what was in-tended as a feel-good visit to the Olympics in London.

Whether or not the trip changes votes back home, the effect hasn’t seemed to be what Romney’s presidential cam-paign had in mind.

He visited countries that are staunch U.S. allies, limited ques-tions from the media and ar-ranged made-for-TV appearances at symbolic venues in London and Jerusalem. It was all intended to demonstrate he was ready to handle foreign affairs smoothly and lead during dangerous times.

DETROIT (AP) — Chrysler’s almost total reliance on North America used to be a huge weak-ness, one that sent the company into bankruptcy protection.

Now it’s a major strength. The region is generating profits for the company while losses in Europe and slowing sales in South America and China are drains on other carmakers.

Chrysler, which sells almost 90 percent of its cars and trucks in the U.S. and Canada, made a $436 million profit in the sec-ond quarter. It was a huge turn-around from a year earlier, when the company lost $370 million, mainly because it refinanced government bailout loans.

The automaker, now majori-ty owned by Italy’s Fiat SpA, also backed an earlier profit forecast of about $1.5 billion for the year. Such a performance would have been unthinkable three years ago, when Chrysler nearly ran out of cash and needed a gov-ernment bailout to survive.

Chrysler has emerged from bankruptcy protection with far lower costs, and it’s saved money by using Fiat parts and expertise

to engineer new models. Since exiting Chapter 11, it has rolled out a revamped Jeep Grand Cherokee, a highly profitable vehicle which saw sales rise almost 40 percent in the first half of the year. The company also is making money on mini-vans and Ram pickups, said Joe Phillippi, a former Wall Street analyst who is now president of AutoTrends Consulting in Short Hills, N.J.

“The pickup market is pick-ing up, and that’s helping them a lot,” he said.

Chrysler also is propping up Fiat. Like other automakers, the Italian company is struggling with falling sales as Europeans pull back on car buying. Last week, Ford reported that its sec-ond-quarter net income fell 57 percent, largely because of a loss in Europe.

Chrysler’s revenue rose a

healthy 23 percent to $16.8 bil-lion in the second quarter. It also paid less in interest last quarter than a year earlier, saving $50 million with the refinancing of its government loans.

The company’s U.S. sales rose 24 percent in the quarter to 436,000, its best sales quarter since it left bankruptcy protec-tion. Its share of the U.S. market went from 10.1 percent last year to 11.5 percent. In Canada, sales rose 7 percent in the first half of the year to just over 130,000.

There may be some trouble ahead, though. Chrysler, which made $909 million in the first half of the year, is predicting that it will make less than $600 million in the second half as the global and U.S. economies con-tinue to slow. Also, the compa-ny’s second-quarter profit was almost 8 percent lower than the first quarter.

PASADENA, Calif. — It’s NASA’s most ambitious and ex-pensive Mars mission yet — and it begins with the red planet ar-rival late Sunday of the smartest interplanetary rover ever built. Also the most athletic.

Like an Olympic gymnast, it needs to “stick the landing.”

It won’t be easy. The com-plicated touchdown NASA de-signed for the Curiosity rover is so risky it’s been described as

“seven minutes of terror” — the time it takes to go from 13,000 mph to a complete stop.

Scientists and engineers will be waiting anxiously 154 mil-lion miles away as the spacecraft plunges through Mars’ thin at-mosphere, and in a new twist, attempts to slowly lower the rover to the bottom of a crater with cables.

By the time Earthlings re-ceive first word of its fate, it will have planted six wheels on the ground — or tumbled itself into a metal graveyard.

If it succeeds, a video cam-era aboard the rover will have captured the most dramatic minutes for the first filming of a landing on another planet.

“It would be a major techno-logical step forward if it works. It’s a big gamble,” said American University space policy analyst Howard McCurdy.

The future direction of Mars exploration is hanging on the outcome of this $2.5 billion

science project to determine whether the environment was once suitable for microbes to live. Previous missions have found ice and signs that water once flowed. Curiosity will drill into rocks and soil in search of carbon and other elements.

Named for the Roman god

of war, Mars is unforgiving with a hostile history of swallowing man-made spacecraft. It’s tough to fly there and even tougher to touch down. More than half of humanity’s attempts to land on Mars have ended in disaster. Only the U.S. has tasted success, but there’s no guarantee this time.

On a shelf in the back stor-age room in the Lewis County Coroner’s Office among equip-ment and files, there are boxes of unclaimed, cremated human remains of those who died and had no family to bury them.

Some of the ashes, held with-in urns, have sat on the shelf for more than a decade, the oldest one from a person who died in 1998.

When Warren McLeod be-came coroner in 2011, he said the ashes of nearly 30 people sat in that back room. Now all but 18 of them have received a prop-er burial.

“It’s hard for me to admit that these people are in our store room,” said Dawn Harris, the chief deputy coroner.

For the past several months, employees at the coroner’s of-fice, in addition to a cold-case deputies from the sheriff ’s office, have been attempting one last time to track down any possible family of the individuals.

“We’ve exhausted all avenues,” McLeod said.

At the end of August, any un-claimed ashes will finally be laid to rest in the Claquato Cemetery with a proper burial, he said.

“Having them in back in our store room didn’t sound right,” McLeod said. “They are still somebody’s family and friends.”

If someone dies and goes unclaimed for 90 days, they are then cremated and become the responsibility of the coroner’s office.

The cold case deputy work-ing on tracking down the fam-ily members has used multiple search databases in an attempt to find families, which was suc-cessful in three cases.

The coroner’s office also or-ganized with Operation at Ease to help the remains of seven vet-erans receive a proper burial last November.

“It’s been an ongoing project,”

McLeod said.One of the first urn of un-

claimed ashes laid to rest was a Native American, who an em-ployee had attempted to track down family by sending out a letter to each tribal nation. A year and a half later, the man’s sister came and got his remains in order to bury him.

“For me that was real excit-ing to know that he went back to his family and that he would be taken care of the way he should be,” Harris said.

During another investiga-tion to track down family for a different person, they thought they had found a family member living in rural Alaska. They con-tacted an Alaska state trooper who took a boat out to the rural island where the family member was supposedly living.

The trooper was unable to lo-cate them, so he sent a certified letter to the person. The letter was never picked up, and the re-mains are still unclaimed.

While they are still not sure if there will be a headstone for the burial site in Claquato Cemetery, McLeod said, all the remains will be accounted for.

“It will be marked somehow, and they will be accounted for,” he said.

The burial is not going to cost the county anything, McLeod said. Claquato donated the plot of land and is covering the ex-penses of the burial.

All the urns will be going into the same concrete grave, and will be bio-sealed in order to make sure moisture doesn’t destroy them, he said.

If any family comes forward at a later date they will be able to dig them up and give them to the family.

The burial will take place Aug. 20 at the Claquato Cem-etary at 2 p.m. The public is in-vited to attend to pay respect.

“We are trying to do the right thing for these folks,” McLeod said. “They’re still people.”

I could smell the exhaust and hear the engines revving as I ap-proached the track where rally cars raced around cones and turns through an open field near the Port of Chehalis office Sat-urday afternoon.

The third annual Port of Chehalis RallyCross event, put on by Maximilian Motorsports, brought newcomer and experi-enced drivers together for two days of pushing their limits be-hind the wheel.

As a novice rally car driver, who gets excited from merging onto Interstate 5, I jumped at the chance to race through a dirt track for the first time.

Since I am a naturally cau-tious person, I didn’t want to bore everyone with my slow, school zone driving around the track.

Instead, I wanted to ride with a professional, who wouldn’t hesitate at a sharp left turn.

I grabbed a helmet, strapped myself in a Maximilian Motors-ports BMW 635i and rode with professional drive Miller Dumaoal.

Dumaoal, from Everett, won a front wheel drive rally cross championship two years ago. He now attends rally cross events around the Northwest and works with newcomers like myself.

At the starting line, Dumaoal took a deep breath, turned to me and said, “here we go.”

The 1986 BMW peeled out down the straight away and I grabbed for the handle on the car door.

Unlike conventional driv-ing down city streets, I was im-pressed that the Dumaoal never let the car dip below 30 miles an hour around figure eight stretches and sharp turns.

“Nothing really slows us down,” Dumaoal said.

Dumaoal navigated the course in under two minutes. By the end, I stumbled out of the car like a kid coming off a roller-coaster and wanted to go again.

Feeling dazed and exhilarat-

ed, I walked through the rows of drivers preparing their cars for the rallycross track. I began to understand the draw to the sport.

In day-to-day life people rarely get a chance to break away from speed limits and paved roads to take on an off-road course at full speed.

For those that find the op-portunity, it seems to become a way of life.

“This is my passion,” Du-maoal said.

ATTENDANCE: More People Turned Out for Second Annual Event

By Kyle Spurr

[email protected]

Area musicians played smooth jazz music from an out-door stage by Maple and Pearl Streets in Centralia on Saturday and Sunday, while people visited with local artists during the sec-ond annual JazzArtique Festival.

After a cold and rainy JazzAr-tique Festival last year, the weath-er stayed clear and more regional artists set up booths at this year’s event, hosted by the Centralia Downtown Association.

Terri Larkin, of Centralia, sat by her wooden spinning wheel and spun scarfs and dish towels.

“You have to get your fingers and your eyes coordinated,” Lar-kin said while spinning with a wool and silk blend.

Larkin, who started spinning fibers more than 20 years ago, said it takes her about an hour and a half to spin a dish towel.

“I have it down to a science,” Larkin said.

Larkin, who grew up in Port Angeles and takes her work to events all around the Northwest, said she sees the potential for JazzArtique in the years to come.

“I’m impressed with this town’s ability to draw people in,”

Larkin said. Along with Larkin, other

artist presented their paintings, pottery, jewelry, clothing and photography at the art fair by the outdoor music stage.

Centralia resident Angela Conely, who recently earned a Bachelor of Arts in visual art from Evergreen State College in Olympia, showed her acrylic paintings and other projects.

Conely said JazzArtique gave her an opportunity to make con-nections with people and con-tinue her artistic career.

“I’ve been an artist all my life,” Conely said. “I just have to make things.”

Outside the art fair, other lo-cal artists’ work appeared in gal-lery spaces and stores through downtown Centralia. Among the work was a glass blowing demonstration.

The Fox Theatre hosted the headline show for JazzArtique when jazz singer Stephanie Por-ter took the stage Saturday night.

BIAW No Longer a Cash Cow for RepublicansBy The Seattle Times

OLYMPIA — Ever since the Building Industry Association of Washington largely closed its wallet to Republican candidates and causes, the big question has been who would replace it.

The answer: apparently no one.The BIAW was once known

for hardball politics and spend-ing millions to support conserva-tive efforts. In the 2008 race for governor, the group spent $6 mil-lion to support Republican Dino Rossi's failed attempt to unseat Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire.

But new leadership, and a smaller budget due to the ongo-ing housing crunch, has changed the organization and sharply cut its spending since 2010.

The latest state reports show that the BIAW's Washington Affordable Housing Council PAC has contributed around

$145,000 to individual candi-dates and campaign funds this election. But the BIAW's execu-tive vice president, Art Castle, said the PAC won't get involved in independent expenditures to support GOP gubernatorial candidate Rob McKenna. The BIAW, which has endorsed McKenna, might help out later, but it won't be in the millions of dollars, Castle said. "It's not going to be the kind of inde-pendent expenditure BIAW has done in the past," he said.

McKenna's Democratic chal-lenger, Jay Inslee, is being aided by the labor-backed, political-action committee, Our Washing-ton, which has raised $2.4 million, including $1.25 million from the Democratic Governors Asso-ciation. The group has reserved large chunks of television airtime for the final weeks of the election.

The BIAW's scaled-back role

doesn't mean McKenna will be left in the dust.

"Let's be fair. There are na-tional groups the Republican Party has that are better funded than the Democratic Party and

they are going to come in here with a lot of money," said Chris Vance, a former chairman of the state Republican Party.

The Republican Governors Association (RGA), for example,

has already created a PAC and seeded it with a $10,000 contri-bution. Democratic trackers say the group has reserved about $2.4 million in airtime for po-litical ads statewide, so far.

SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY:

Plane To Be Open For Public Viewing All Week

By Amy Nile

[email protected]

The Sentimental Journey, a World War II era B-17 bomber dubbed the “Flying Fortress,” landed at the Chehalis-Centra-lia Airport Monday, sparking many memories for some in at-tendance.

The Mesa-based Arizona wing of the Commemorative Air Force brought the B-17G aircraft in and is offering public tours inside the plane for a donation from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. through Wednesday and until 2 p.m. on Thursday.

“We’re like a flying museum,” said Rich Roberts, a pilot for the aircraft. “This is the most pris-tine — actually how it was — B-17 out there.”

Roberts said the Sentimen-tal Journey is one of only about eight of the aircraft still flying today. Of the 12,731 produced, only about 50 are still in exis-tence.

“It brings in a lot of people with World War II connections,” said Airport Manager Allyn Roe.

“This is one of the most nostalgic aircraft of that period.”

Bernard Alpert, 94, was a bombardier on the B-17F and B-17G models during WWII.

“It was scary. But we had a job to do and we did it,” he said. “A lot of us didn’t come back.”

Alpert now lives in Florida but is visiting Seattle to see his son, who surprised him Monday morning with a trip to see the B-17 land in Chehalis.

During the war, everything depended upon a bombardier like Alpert’s ability to hit the target. They used the Norden bombsight, a top secret piece of equipment closely guarded by the Allies throughout the war, in the nose of the B-17. The Senti-mental Journey is the only air-craft allowed to land with pas-sengers in the nose, where the bombardier and the navigator once sat.

The Flying Fortress can car-ry up to 8,000 pounds of bombs and is equipped with 13 .50-cali-ber guns.

Roberts said the term “the whole 9-yards” comes from the B-17 because the ammunition came in 27-foot or 9-yard belts.

The B-17G, the seventh revi-sion of the Flying Fortress, was equipped with a chin turret which was remotely operated by the bombardier, a higher pro-file top turret, and a tail turret

in which the gunner laid on his back for hours firing.

Ed Fund of Centralia was a crew chief on the F-84 during the Korean War. He said he re-members the B-17s being rolled out of Boeing Field and has friends that flew the aircraft in WWII.

“Most of these guys won’t talk about these things. This is an opportunity to release those emotions,” he said. “These guys risked their lives to do the job and these are the things they used.”

In combat, the B-17 crews flew in the unpressurized air-craft where the temperature typically dropped to negative 60 degrees at altitude.

With four 1,200 horsepower Wright engines, the B-17 usually flies below 10,000 feet but can reach up to 36,000 feet. The air-craft, which today has 10 pilots, typically cruises at about 170 miles per hour but maxes out at around 250 miles per hour.

In wartime, the B-17G, the long-range heavy bomber of the time, had a crew of 10 on board for battle. Typically, a crew flew 25 four-to eight-hour missions before coming home, but that number grew as the death toll increased.

The 75-foot-long Sentimen-tal Journey has a wingspan of 103-feet and stands 19 feet tall. The first four-engine bomber was usually manned by guys in their late teens or very early twenties.

The tail of the plane is paint-ed in light blue, black and white to commemorate the 457th bomb group of the 8th Air Force based in Glatton, England.

The nose has a picture of American actress and singer Betty Grable looking over her shoulder painted on it because, Roberts said, the pinup was pregnant at the time the photo was taken.

Since the Sentimental Jour-ney rolled off the Douglas as-sembly line in November 1944 and was accepted by the Army Air Corp in March 1945, it never served in the European war but was assigned to do rescue mis-sions over the Pacific for the du-ration of WWII.

Over the years, the aircraft took on a number of operations including photo-mapping, air-sea rescue, nuclear weapons tests, fire-fighting and finally was re-stored for its current purpose of providing historical tours.

Several Lewis County wom-en who worked in various roles during WWII visited the Senti-mental Journey together at the airport Monday afternoon.

Margaret Shields of Centra-

lia worked as a mechanic at the plant in Chehalis building parts for the B-17 and B-29 during the European war.

“It was a bad time in my life, during those years,” she said.

The now 90-year-old said she remembers the hard economic times coming out of the Great Depression when food items like sugar and butter were rationed.

“People (today) don’t know what hard times are,” she said.

June Deskins, 88, said unlike Shields, she was spared working in the plant because her arms were too short. But, she said, she worked at the shipyard in Ta-coma and for Pacific Northwest Bell for just $21 a week during the war.

Helen Holloway, 87, worked in a variety of roles during the war including making compo-nents for B-29 engines at a plant in Chicago.

“That’s the one that ended WWII,” she said. “It’s a thrill to know you had something to do

with it.”At age 16, Doris Bier started

building axles for Army jeeps at Fort Lewis.

“Women were trained to see if we could do it,” said the now 85-year-old.

Bier said she typically did more than eight axles a day, compared to her male counter-part’s four daily.

“It was a responsibility. Some of the men respected me, some did not but there weren’t enough men to do the job,” she said.

Her work earned her an “E” pin. Usually, she said, the pins were awarded to an entire com-pany rather than just an indi-vidual.

Bier also met her husband, Clayton, of 65 years through her wartime work. The couple asked two young girls from the two Japanese families that were sent to internment camps from Adna to be flower girls at their wed-ding on Friday, June 13, 1947.

“Some people didn’t come be-cause we had the Japs,” Bier said.

“I always felt bad that people were so prejudiced because they had nothing to do with what went on.”

After the wedding, she and her husband eventually settled in Centralia.

Bier said she hopes the Senti-mental Journey can help young people learn responsibility and awareness.

“Something better than vid-eo games,” she said. “It’s an era that’ll never be repeated.

In addition to the tours, the B-17 crew is also offering flights for the public for $425.

Mike Magnuson of Chehalis plans on taking his 12-year-old son up Tuesday because they became interested in war-time aircraft after visiting an aviation museum in Oregon.

“Seeing it is one thing but be-ing up in the air has got to be another thing,” Magnuson said.

“This is history. It is a priority.”Those interested can call

602-448-9415 to make reserva-tions.

John Roe, of the Experimen-tal Aircraft Association of Che-halis, helped set up a big screen TV in the airport to show docu-mentaries about the B-17 while passengers or tourists wait.

“It brings back the nostal-gia,” he said. “The fact we have some of these still flying is a re-minder of what these guys went through.”

KELSO — The Twin Cities 15-year-old All-Stars will start the next step in earning a trip to Van Buren, Ark., today when they enter the Pacific Northwest Babe Ruth Regional Tourna-ment at Kelso's Stan Rister Sta-dium. The Centralia-Chehalis squad had a bye on Monday, the tournament's opening day, and will face Idaho at 7:30 this evening in its pool-play de-but. The tournament concludes with semifinal and champion-ship games on Saturday, with the winner advancing to the 15-year-old Babe Ruth World Series in Van Buren, starting Aug. 18. The Twin Cities 14-year-old All-Stars, meanwhile, will start play in The Dalles, Ore., on Wednesday in their own Pacific Northwest Babe Ruth Regional Tournament. The 14s face South Oregon at 4 p.m. to start their own quest for a World Series berth, with the 14s World Series set for Murray, Utah, starting Aug. 18. The 15-year-old All-Stars gave up a total of 8 runs over five games to win their state tournament, which concluded Wednesday in Castle Rock. Twin Cities beat Kalama-Woodland-Ridgefield-La Center in its first pool play game, 6-4, with Ryan Steepy, Drew Fagerness and Gavin Kerner each tallying two hits. Kerner's knocks included a double and a triple. The local squad beat Kenne-wick 11-0 in its second pool play game, with Daniel Blomdahl tossing four innings with two hits allowed and John Sharkey closing it out in the fifth. Jacob Monohon went 2 for 2 and J.T. Yarter went 3 for 3, with both players driving in 2 runs. Fager-ness was 2 for 3 with 4 RBIs. Twin Cities closed out pool play on Monday with a 6-0 win over Midland, in which Mono-hon tossed six innings of one-hit baseball with six strikeouts. Yar-ter closed out the game on the mound, and Sharkey went 2 for 3 at the plate. The All-Stars then faced Mid-land in the semifinals, winning 12-0 to advance to the champi-onship match. Fagerness gave up two hits over five innings, while Monohon led the way with a 3 for 3 performance at the plate. Sharkey, Steepy and J.C. Cleary each went 2 for 3. Twin Cities wound up in a re-match with KWRL for the state title and, again, allowed 4 runs in a comfortable win, this time by a 9-4 margin. Steepy went 2 for 3 with a walk, two stolen bases and 3 runs, Max Dulin was 2 for 2 with a pair of walks, Fagerness had a hit and drove in 3 runs, and Yarter went 2 for 4 with a triple and 2 RBIs. The team hit .420 and out-scored its opponents 44-8 over the five-game state playoff run, with a .920 fielding percent-age and 9 of 11 runners thrown out stealing. The Twin Cities pitching staff struck out 30 and walked 12 over 31 innings, with 12 scattered hits.

As a member of the Seattle Pilots’ only draft class, Bob Co-luccio has quite the story to tell. The Centralia High School product was picked in the 17th round of the 1969 MLB Draft and four years later he would be playing in the big leagues. "I played well in spring train-ing that season (1973) and I was literally the 25th man on the ros-ter," Coluccio said. That would begin a five-year major league career for the Ital-ian-American. Nicknamed "The Macaroni Pony" by famed Brew-ers broadcaster Bob Ueker, Co-luccio played the game with no reservations. "It was kind of a time period that was in the 'tweener stage," Coluccio said. "The game was quite a bit better than in the 1950s-60s. It was about the game, not the economics. Pitch count? You just bucked up and went after it. It was all about perfor-mance." The Centralia native said he started playing organized ball when he was 5 years old in a Pee Wee League. Coluccio showed that he had a passion for the game that,

years later, would allow him to advance to the professional ranks. "I loved it," he said. "It's all I wanted to do. It would be rain-ing and I'd take a rubber ball and throw it against a wall for hours." At that time, however, Ma-jor League Baseball on the West Coast was still a relatively new concept. "The closest major league team was San Francisco," Coluc-cio said. "There were no aspira-tions to go any further after high school." The American League, though, awarded an expansion team to Seattle in 1968 and Co-luccio said scouts scoured the local area for top talent. They found two Lewis County play-ers worthy to get a phone call on draft day. Coluccio and fellow Centralia player John Conzatti were offered $500-a-month con-tracts as 17-year-olds. "I think what they saw from me was just a desire to do well," Coluccio said. "With baseball, I lived it, slept it, it's all I could think of. My father owned Civic Sand & Gravel.

SELAH — Sobe-Toyota won its first two games here in the American Legion AAA State Tournament, but suffered a set-back against Lakeside Recovery Monday night to land in a loser-out contest against Kennewick today. Derek Putman started on the mound and went eight in-nings for Centralia in Monday night’s contest. “If you’d have told me going into this game that Derek was going to give us eight innings, I’d have been extremely happy,” Sobe-Toyota coach Jake LeDuc said, “because I’d know we had a chance to win.”

Lakeside tied the game with a pair of runs in the eighth in-ning, however, and tacked on 4 in the top of the ninth to seal the win. The Lizards did indeed have a chance to win, but with one out in the top of the ninth in-ning Lakeside scored a run on a mishandled groundball to shortstop. A double on the next at-bat put across 3 more runs to put Centralia in a 4-run hole in the bottom of the final inning. “We played well,” LeDuc said. “I don’t fault the kids’ ef-fort. They played their butts off and gave it everything they had. Tonight, Lakeside was a little better than us.”

Michael Forgione went 3 for 5 with a triple and a pair of runs to lead Sobe-Toyota at the plate. Cole Housden went 2 for 5 with an RBI, while Mason Mussel-man was 3 for 5. Sobe-Toyota started the tournament with two victo-ries in Selah over the weekend. The Lizards’ starting pitching provided quality outings and the bats came alive when they needed to with a 4-3 victory over the Yakima Beetles and a 12-1 win against the Twin City Titans. On Saturday, Sobe-Toyota took down Yakima, 4-3, scoring all 4 of their runs in the sixth inning. Kyle Shepherd did the

heavy lifting on the mound for the Lizards with eight strike-outs. While Yakima had 16 hits, Shepard was able to scatter those throughout the game. “He was able to pitch his way out of baserunners,” LeDuc said. “Shepherd kind of put us on his back and he didn’t want out of the game.” Yakima scored two runs in the first inning, but Sobe-Toyota answered back in the sixth. After being no-hit for five innings, Housden led things off with a single. Musselman moved him over with a bunt

Seahawks Open Camp With Huge Question at Quarterback

RENTON — An expectant crowd filled the hillside that paralleled the prac-

tice fields and cheered every completed pass and every beam of hope it saw at the opening day of the Seahawks' 2012 train-ing camp. It has been a while since a Seattle football season dawned with such equal amounts of optimism and apprehension. In the third sea-son of the Pete Carroll-John Schneider era, pieces are in place and a run toward the conference champi-onship feels reasonable. And yet, one undeniably huge, anxiety-causing concern still looms large over this camp. Training camp is open and so is the Seahawks' starting quarterback competition. Camp has begun and yet the Hawks still haven't decided who will play the most important posi-tion in all of sports. Will it be the incumbent, Tarvaris Jackson, who is the longshot in this race? Will it be the gifted third-round pick Rus-sell Wilson? Or will it be Matt Flynn, in whom the Hawks already have made a significant financial investment? "It's an exciting time," said Flynn, who had been Aaron Rodgers' backup in Green Bay.

"That's what everybody in the NFL dreams about is being a starter. That's what I'm going to compete to do." Quarterback is the Seahawks' great unknown. And it's the key to whether this team succeeds or fails. "There were good points and there were some low points out there," Flynn said, assessing the first day's workout. "Just getting the kinks out, trying to get on the same page with guys.

We had some miscommunica-tion here and there, but that's to be expected on the first day. It's going to be a good film to watch." Jackson got all of the reps with the first team Saturday. That honor will shift from prac-tice to practice. "We've got a big-time formu-la that we're unveiling here as we go," Carroll said. "This is just the first step of it. We've got a lot of things in mind that we want to get done. Every (quarterback) out here would like to get more turns. I wish every guy could get more turns. But we're just in the midst of this competition, and we're going to have to work our way through it." It isn't supposed to happen like this. But this is the Se-ahawks' way. It is unorthodox. It's quirky. It flies in the face of conventional wisdom that says teams need to establish their starter early in camp. But this competition is dif-ferent. Wilson is a rookie. And Flynn has only two starts in four years. They're newbies, and the team has to see how each handles pressure. There is no way to replicate the heat of a regular-season NFL game, but how this trio handles the daily pressure of this com-petition will provide a good idea of who can best handle the weekly rigors of the NFL. "There's no reason to evalu-ate today," Carroll said of Sat-urday. "We'll start to figure it out when we start accumulating some reps." Carroll assured us the team has a timetable, while also mak-ing it clear he has no intention of letting us know what the timing is. Referencing an old Johnny Carson skit, Carroll said the master plan was hermeti-cally sealed in a mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall's porch. (I was one of four 60-some-thing sports writers who appre-ciated the joke.)

"We have a very strict sched-ule that we can set in motion now," Carroll said, "then we'll adjust as we go, depending on what happens. A lot of stuff can happen." The best-case scenario would be that one of the three takes the bit, impressively wins the job and leads the Hawks to nine or 10 wins. I'm betting on Flynn. In the worst-case scenario, none snatches the spot. All three of them start at various times this season and, without a consistent offense, the Hawks sink to 5-11 or 6-10. "I'm excited about this," Carroll said excitedly. "I know there's a lot of anticipation about it. I understand that. I feel good about that. It's going to take some time, and we're going to take the time that's necessary and we'll play off the occur-rences. "Everything counts in the process. The walk-throughs (practices) will be enormous. And the preseason (games) will be extraordinarily important too." In other words, Carroll doesn't anticipate this competi-tion will be decided until prob-ably the second or third exhibi-tion game. "Talk to any of us, we'll all say that we'd like more reps," Flynn said. "The more you get, the better you feel. "We understand that the Seahawks are based on competi-tion. And we understand also that it's going to bring the best out in us. I think we're all em-bracing it and we're all trying to get the most out of it we can." The competition has begun. This is the Seahawks' high-wire act, an unconventional quest to find the right quarterback to bring this team back into the title conversation. Seattle's summer just got a lot hotter.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Sidney Rice didn't want to be the only non-quarterback stuck wearing a red jersey during the early days of Se-attle Seahawks training camp. So on Day 2 on Sunday, when trainers and coaches weren't looking, Rice slid on his regular blue practice jer-sey and jogged on to the field. "I wanted to be in the blue with the rest of the team," Rice said. "I'm not a quarter-back so I don't want to wear a red jersey." That doesn't mean Rice is cleared for full contact. Far from it, actually, as Rice con-tinues his recovery from off-season surgery on both of his shoulders. The Seahawks in-tend to take it very slow with Rice during training camp and avoid all contact for now, even if the red jersey is gone. Could that avoiding con-tact include all preseason games as well? Maybe, Rice said. But the focus is on being healthy for the season opener at Arizona. "This is going to be up to them. I know they're go-ing to protect me as much as possible," Rice said. "Pre-season is important but it's not as important as the regu-lar season. They're going to

take their time and progress me along, bring me along as much as possible, and we'll see what happens during the preseason games." The Seahawks have reason to be careful with Rice after a fragile first season in Seattle when he was never healthy. He injured one shoulder dur-ing the preseason and was completely unaware that the other was also damaged. Rice played as best he could through the two shoulder injuries until a pair of con-cussions — the second one suffered in Week 12 against Washington — finally landed Rice on injured reserve. His first shoulder surgery came Jan. 3 to take care of the right shoulder. His left shoul-der was repaired Feb. 16. His entire offseason was based around strengthening the area around the two joints in the hopes this is the last time the shoulders prove to be a problem. Still, it could be a while before the Seahawks put him at risk. Initially the Seahawks were going to place Rice on the physically unable to perform list for the start of training camp, but he was cleared to participate in drills Saturday morning before the first practice.

NFL

Rice Still Limited by Hawks

SEATTLE (AP) — One vote down and plenty more to go in the quest to build a new arena that could bring the NBA back to Seattle. The Metropolitan King County Council took the initial step on Monday afternoon, ap-proving the amended proposal from investor Chris Hansen by a 6-3 vote. After four hours of public testimony and state-ments from council members, the Hansen's proposal — with a few tweaks — got the required number of votes to move for-ward. Now the plan goes to the Se-attle City Council, but if its ac-tions earlier Monday are any in-dication, Hansen's $490 million arena plan that includes nearly $300 million in private funds and $200 million in public con-tribution has plenty of adjust-ments and changes yet to come. "I want to personally thank the King County Council for all

of their hard work and for taking a big step today to move forward on our proposal," Hansen said in a statement issued immedi-ately after the vote. "There is still much more to be done, but I am looking forward to sitting down with City Council members to figure out how we can make this deal work for everyone." Before the county had its chance to vote, the city took the first steps in indicating just what concessions they are seeking from Hansen. Eight of nine Seattle coun-cilmembers unveiled a letter to Hansen saying changes must be made to the proposal before they could support it. The City Council wants to ensure that a portion of tax revenues gener-ated by a new arena would help pay for local transportation im-provements. Currently, the pro-posal calls for those taxes to be used to pay off the $200 million in city and county bonds for the

$490 million arena. Traffic concerns in the SoDo neighborhood — where Safeco Field, CenturyLink Field and the Port of Seattle all share limited space — have been at the core of arguments against Hansen's plan. Bruce Harrell, who has been a strong proponent of Hansen's proposal, was the only member of the city council not to sign the letter. At a news conference early Monday afternoon, City Coun-cil President Sally Clark said the changes requested in the Coun-cil's letter were not designed to kill the deal. "This is about figuring out how do we get to 'yes,'" Clark said. Aaron Pickus, spokesman for Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn, said of the City Council's letter,

"we are open to changes, but we think it would be a big mistake to let this investment go by."

single, then Keylen Steen had a sacrifice bunt to move the run-ners over. Andrew Elam and Ty Hous-den both drove in runs with back-to-back singles, and Nick Schultz added a 2-RBI single to give Sobe-Toyota the 4-2 lead. Yakima scored a run in the eighth and threatened in the ninth. Shepherd ended the game by striking out the last batter with the bases loaded. “There was no quit in these guys,” LeDuc said. “Our dugout just came alive in that sixth in-ning, we were loud. The defense time and again made plays and backed up Kyle to get us out of some tight spots.” On Sunday, Sobe-Toyota de-feated the Twin Cities Titans from Kennewick and Richland in seven innings, 12-1. The Liz-ards scored 10 runs in the fifth and two more in the sixth. In the fifth, Ty Housden led

off with a double. After two walks, Dugan Shirer hit a dou-ble to score 2 runs. Cole Hous-den hit a single to bring home 2 more runs. After another walk, Shepherd stroked an RBI single, followed by an RBI double by Ty Housden. Michael Stuart round-ed out the scoring with a 2-run double. There were also three balks by Twin Cities in the inning. The Lizards didn’t commit a single error in either game. Meanwhile on the mound, Musselman went the distance, struck out three batters and al-lowed five hits. “We have a young ballclub but these kids have bought into everything we’ve told them,” LeDuc said. “Everybody is up-beat and positive. In all my years of coaching, this is one of the most fun teams I’ve been around.” Sobe-Toyota (28-13) will face Kennewick at 3 p.m. today at Se-lah’s Carlon Park.

or play baseball. When you’re 17, you don’t think about that deci-sion too much. You’re playing professional baseball.”

Over the phone, Coluccio was told to show up to the air-port the following Tuesday and he’d be shipped off to Billings, Mont., to play rookie ball in the Pioneer League. On the first day, Coluccio recalled, the Pilots’ No. 1 draft pick Gorman Thomas showed up to the ballpark in shiny new black Camero, with a matching black eye.

“He had gotten in a bar fight the night before,” Coluccio said.

“It was the first time we met and since then we’ve become good friends. That was a fun time. We’d have to go out and pick up rocks in the field because Bill-ings didn’t have a grounds crew.”

Coluccio made a swift as-cension through the minors. In his third year of pro ball, he moved to AAA. After taking a break to get married in 1971, his contract was optioned to Phila-delphia and he got the chance to play with future Phillies greats Mike Schmidt and Bob Boone. In 1972, he was invited back by the then-Brewers and had a monster year for Evansville in AAA. Coluccio hit .300 with nine home runs, 58 RBIs, 19 doubles and seven triples. His team won the American Asso-ciation title and the Centralian was invited to spring training the following year. With starting outfielder Davey May injured, he was able to showcase his tal-ents to the Brewers.

He made a major league roster in 1973. Coluccio said that opening day in Milwaukee had 17 inches of snow. The team couldn’t sell the first 20 rows be-cause that’s where they piled up the white stuff.

“But it was opening day and every seat without snow was sold,” Coluccio said. “I never went to a major league game be-fore I played in one.”

After his friend Thomas slumped, Coluccio was called into the starting lineup. He said he still remembers seeing his name on the card.

“I went 2 for 4 that day and had two stolen bases,” he said.

He finished the season with 21 doubles, eight triples, 15 home runs, 58 RBIs and a .224 batting average. Coluccio ended up playing two seasons with the Brewers and many Milwaukee fans gravitated towards their young outfielder.

“It’s a great town, they had a large italian population and they embraced me,” Coluccio said.

“They would sell the most beer out of any stadium with the least amount of violence. The fans in right field would bring me jugs of wine.”

Coluccio’s devil-may-care style of play helped him to a 5-year career in the majors. He played for the White Sox and Cardinals before finally hang-

ing up the cleats. Coluccio said he wished he could have hit bet-ter in the majors, but there were still plenty of memories. He hit a grand slam against Texas in 1973. He got to play with Hank Aaron after he had broke Babe Ruth’s home run record. He hit an inside-the-park home run in Yankee Stadium, and was robbed of a double by Boston’s Green Monster.

The greatest aspect of his game was his defense. While he played in the era before instant replay, Coluccio said that he was valued on the club because of his fielding and it made up for the batting average. While he played in an era before sabremetrics, Coluccio’s “wins above replace-ment player” statistic for his ca-reer was 3.3, a mark with which any good player would be happy.

“I got knocked out going for fly balls, but I caught them,” he said. “I’d go into seats, dugouts and walls. There weren’t too many people to play the outfield like I did. During batting prac-tice I’d play like I was in a game. It made me confident that any ball hit that I could touch was one I could catch.”

At age 28, Coluccio returned home to care for his father, who had been diagnosed with cancer. He said he still felt he could play, but after his father passed away, he had to manage his family’s assets in town. His rights were traded to the Mets in 1979 but Coluccio never got back to the show.

“The Mets were rebuild-ing and within a year they were in the World Series,” he said.

“Once you make the majors you want to play in the World Series. That would be one of my regrets, not playing in a series, but I got a chance to spend time with my family and you can’t replace that.”

In the 1980s, Coluccio moved to Newport Beach, Calif., and is now a real estate agent. He still owns and manages a trailer park in Centralia and gets back for a few days every year. Not too many people, if any, can say they had an experience like Coluc-cio’s. It may have been in an era before million-dollar paychecks, but the Centralia product got to do what he wanted to do most and play professionally the game he loved.

Mariners starting pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma throws against the Toronto Blue Jay in the irst inning of Seattle’s 4-1 victory on

Monday in Seattle.

Iwakuma Cages Blue Jays

By Rick McCorkle

The Daily News

Three Napavine High standouts who helped lead the Tigers to the Class 2B state championship match are among 10 players who have agreed to join the Lower Columbia Col-lege women’s soccer team this fall.

Samantha May, Lacie Smith and Lacey Morris of Napavine will be joined on the Lady Dev-ils’ roster by fellow newcom-ers Jordan Brown of Prosser, La Center’s Megan VanSoest, Karri Russell of Tenino, Chelsie Fechtner of W.F. West, Rhianna Hall of Crater High in Central Point, Ore., Skyview’s Emma Glasow, and McKenzie Near of Camas.

May, a midfielder, and Smith, a forward, are two-time all-state and all-league selections who led the Tigers to the state champion-ship match in 2011.

Morris earned all-state hon-ors as a junior midfielder while guiding the Tigers to a runner-up finish in the 2009 state cham-pionships.

Morris tore her ACL in the first match as a senior and missed the remainder of the season. She rebounded and played basketball for the Tigers in her final prep season, earn-ing league MVP honors. Mor-ris later signed to play women’s basketball at Centralia College for the 2011-12 season, but didn’t see any court time.

Brown, a 2008 Prosser grad, led the Mustangs to consecutive state tournament appearances as a junior and senior. She also had an impact in basketball, scoring 1,485 points in her prep career before signing to play women’s basketball at Columbia Basin College. She led the Hawks to the 2008-09 NWAACC Eastern Division crown after finishing eighth in conference scoring

(15.7) and fourth in steals (3.1). VanSoest, a midfielder,

earned second-team all-South-west 1A Trico Division acco-lades after leading the Wildcats to a state tournament appear-ance. Russell, a defender, re-ceived second-team all-state and all-Southwest 1A Evergreen Di-vision honors as a senior.

Fechtner, a goalkeeper, led the Bearcats to a state tourna-ment appearance. She was also a member of the softball team which won the Class 2A state crown earlier this spring.

Hall, who can play defense and midfield, earned first-team all-Southern Oregon Hybrid league praise. Glasow and Near join the Lady Devils with exten-sive club soccer backgrounds in the Vancouver area.

The Lady Devils open their regular season when they host Walla Walla on Sept. 4 at Northlake Field.

The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — Hisashi Iwaku-ma turned in the kind of perfor-mance on Monday designed to thrill the home crowd — at least that portion not rooting vocifer-ously for the visiting team.

In front of a Safeco Field crowd heav-ily populated with Blue Jays fans, Iwaku-ma turned in the best start of his brief Mariners career as Se-attle defeated Toronto, 4-1, for its fifth straight vic-tory.

In the seventh inning, Blue Jays outfielder Travis Snider, a former first-round pick from Jackson High School in Mill Creek, was removed from the game and seen shaking hands in the dugout. An inning later, it was announced Snider had been traded to Pittsburgh for right-handed pitcher Brad Lincoln, highlighting the backdrop of tension surrounding the game as Tuesday’s trade deadline loomed.

Facing the leading run-scor-ing team in the major leagues

— albeit without injured slugger Jose Bautista — Iwakuma struck out 13 in eight innings to set the Mariners’ single-game rookie

record for whiffs. The previ-ous record of 12 was held by an elite trio: Mark Langston (three times), Randy Johnson and Freddy Garcia.

Iwakuma turned in this per-formance after flying to Japan last Thursday to see his ailing father. He returned on Saturday.

Iwakuma’s strikeout list in-cluded Brett Lawrie of Langley, B.C. four times. After the third one, Lawrie broke his bat over his knee in frustration.

Lawrie also had an error that led to a Mariner run in the second inning. He matched Fe-lix Hernandez’s team-high 13 strikeouts from June 29 against Boston.

Josh Kinney and Lucas Lu-etge worked the ninth, as Tom Wilhelmsen was absent to be with his wife, due with their first child. Kinney added two more strikeouts, giving the Jays 15 whiffs on the night, before Lu-etge got the final out for his first career save.

The Mariners, trying to res-urrect what once seemed to be a lost season, are 12-6 since the All-Star break.

Iwakuma got off to an inaus-picious start when leadoff hitter Rajai Davis started the game with a homer to left, much to the jubilation of the Jays fans, whose robust chants of “Let’s go, Blue Jays” echoed the ballpark throughout the night.

But Iwakuma settled down to blank the Jays through the eighth inning. He worked out of a first-and-third, one-out jam in the second, and a first-and-sec-

ond, one-out in the fourth.The Mariners, meanwhile,

took the lead in the first and never gave it up. Dustin Ackley led off with a double against Jays starter Ricky Romero, an All-Star last year who has now lost seven straight decisions.

He moved to third on a Michael Saunders bunt single. With Saunders stealing, Jesus Montero hit a shot that might have been headed to center for a hit, or might have been speared by second baseman Kelly John-son covering on the steal. We’ll never know, because instead it hit second-base umpire Tony Randazzo, who never had a chance to move.

Ackley crossed the plate, but was sent back to third on what was ruled a dead ball. Randazzo crumpled to the ground, but after being examined by Mari-ners trainer Rick Griffin, he re-mained in the game.

That left the bases loaded, and Ackley came home when John Jaso grounded into a dou-ble play. Kyle Seager then deliv-ered a single to score Saunders

— his 37th two-out RBI, most in the American League.

Mike Carp singled with one out in the second and moved around the bases with help from the Blue Jays. He went to sec-ond on a wild pitch, third on a passed ball, and home when Lawrie boxed a hard grounder from Brendan Ryan.

The final Mariners run came on fifth-inning doubles by Ryan and Michael Saunders.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers bolstered their bullpen for a playoff run, acquiring former All-Star reliev-er Brandon League from the Se-attle Mariners for two prospects Monday night. The teams announced the deal a day before the deadline to make trades without waivers. Seattle also sent righty reliever Steve Delabar to the Blue Jays for

outfielder Eric Thames. "New league, new hitters, new teammates," League said af-ter the Mariners' 4-1 over Toron-to, a game in which he did not pitch. "It's definitely an exciting time. Now, it's a new chapter in my life and go help the Dodgers try and win a ring." The Dodgers, challeng-ing San Francisco for the NL

West lead, sent outfielder Leon Landry and right-handed pitch-er Logan Bawcom to the Mari-ners. Seattle is last in the AL West. League was 0-5 with nine saves and a 3.63 ERA in 46 games this season. The 29-year-old righty was an All-Star last year when he had 37 saves for the Mariners.

Gibbons also finished fourth in the Junior Women’s 198 di-vision to become a double All-American. Isabella Silva Pires took seventh in the Junior Wom-en 105 division, giving TCWC a sixth-place team finish. Winlock’s Rachel Archer joined Huerta, Gibbons and Silva Pires on the Washington Junior Women’s Dual Team, which fin-ished fourth in the national dual meet tournament, and TCWC coaches Jay Terry and Scott Phil-lips were both members of the Washington National Teams.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — U.S. women’s soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo didn’t back down Monday from her Twitter outburst against NBC analyst Brandi Chastain, saying the tweets were her way of ex-pressing her opinion about the quality of television announcers. Solo addressed the matter briefly on her 31st birthday dur-ing the team’s tour of historic Old Trafford stadium, where the Americans will play North Korea on Tuesday. She didn’t apologize or express regret, and she an-swered only one question about the matter, declining to address, among other things, whether a social media rant in the middle of the Olympics was the proper time and means to convey her feelings about broadcasters. “It’s not about what made me unhappy,” Solo said. “It’s not about one game. I have my be-liefs that the best commentators and the best analysts should be analyzing come Olympics, come World Cups, and it’s only my opinion. You can take it or leave it, to be honest, so it’s my opinion, and I think analysts and com-mentators should bring energy and excitement and passion for the game, and a lot of knowledge, and I think it’s important to help build the game, and I don’t think Brandi has that. “It’s just my opinion, and nothing else really matters, to be honest. What matters is tomor-row’s game against North Ko-rea, playing at Old Trafford. The team’s excited. It’s my birthday. I don’t really care to answer any other questions about Brandi.” She indeed declined to an-swer follow-up questions about the matter, including whether she has spoken to Chastain.

Solo Doesn’t Back Down From Tweets

COVER TWO: Seahawks’ Problematic Secondary Looks to be a Standout Unit This Season

By Danny O’Neil

The Seattle Times

RENTON — When Bran-don Browner arrived at train-ing camp a year ago, his bank account was running low, his anxiety running high. “I was nervous,” Browner said. “You never know.” He was turning 27, had played the past four seasons in Canada, and the lockout had taken a financial toll as he re-ported to Seattle, facing a now-or-never moment with his NFL future. One Pro Bowl appear-ance later, Browner has found a football security that he hasn’t felt since he was at Oregon State, where he was named the top freshman in the conference. “I’m here where I want to be,” Browner said. Training camp is the time

for unvarnished optimism all across the NFL. Every team is undefeated, and each player across this league can speak about their belief about just how much better this year is going to be. That story line doesn’t fit the Seahawks’ secondary, nor Browner in particular. Not af-ter the strides Seattle’s defensive backs made last season, begin-ning the season as one of the team’s biggest question marks before becoming one of its big-gest strengths. Both of Seattle’s safeties wound up in the Pro Bowl, as Earl Thomas was named a starter and Kam Chancellor was chosen as an injury replacement. Browner made it, too, after in-tercepting six passes, and Rich-ard Sherman picked off four and started the final 10 games. This is the same second-ary that had been a perennial problem in Seattle. The Se-ahawks allowed the most pass-ing yards in the league in 2008, the third-most in 2009 and the sixth-most in 2010. That’s three

consecutive years on skid row for NFL secondaries, which made last year’s breakthrough all the more unexpected, espe-cially since Seattle began the season with Marcus Trufant as its only starter with more than two years of NFL experi-ence. So just how did Seattle’s secondary make that kind of breakthrough? “They made some plays, and they built off that confidence,” said defensive coordinator Gus Bradley. “More than anything, they had a clear understand-ing of what we were asking. It clicked for some of them.” That’s true for Browner more so than anyone else. He went years being unable to get so much as a roster spot for an NFL training camp, and he stuck out as soon as he ar-rived in Seattle because of his height, if nothing else. Just ask receiver Golden Tate. “When I saw him line up, I said, ‘This 6-3, 6-4 dude hasn’t got any business playing corner,’” Tate said. “No business. These

knocked knees, sitting at the line like that.” And it’s true, Browner is long and lean at 6-4, not unlike a stork when he’s lining up. But he’s also a tangle of arms and legs who’s not afraid to be physi-cal. In fact, his strength allows him to get his hands on a receiv-er and throw him off his route first, and then off his game. That strength was also a li-ability, though. He was flagged for a league-leading 19 penal-ties last season. That was nearly twice as many as any other play-er on Seattle’s team. “We’re going to be aggres-sive,” Bradley said, “and that’s our motto, but we’ve got to be smart as well.” This is training camp, after all, and there’s always room for improvement. Even for a player like Browner, who in a single year went from being a player who had waited for years simply to get a spot at training camp to a Seahawk playing in the Pro Bowl.

FINISHERS: USA Overcomes Slow Start to Down France, 98-71

LONDON (AP) — The shrill of whistles came fast and furi-ous.

For a stretch in the first half, it seemed the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team was hav-ing more trouble with the refer-ees than with France.

“There were calls being called that didn’t seem right,” said for-ward Carmelo Anthony. “One time down the floor they called it this way, and one time they called it that way.”

This squad of Americans will have to make some adjustments as the competition continues, but Sunday they overcame their own sloppiness, the refs and a sluggish start to beat France 98-71 in their tournament opener.

Kevin Durant scored 22 points in his Olympic debut, Kevin Love had 14 and LeBron James added nine points, five re-bounds and eight assists.

As openers go, however, the U.S. wasn’t dreamy, but still dominant.

The U.S. only led by one point after the first quarter but outscored a France team featur-ing Tony Parker and five other

NBA players 76-50 over the final three periods.

The Americans became flustered in the first half when they whistled for 18 fouls, some of them on silly reach-ins. As they left the court leading by 16 at halftime, the U.S. players reminded each other that they would have to play much smart-er if they intend to win gold medals.

Seeking a second straight gold to match the redemptive one they captured in Beijing four years ago, the Americans expected a tough test from the French. They got enough of one to keep coach Mike Krzyzewski and his staff busy and this su-perstar-laden squad from feeling too comfortable.

“It wasn’t perfect,” said James, who only took six shots while setting up his teammates.

“We’ve still got room for im-provement. We had too many turnovers, too many fouls and we had a couple of defensive re-bounds we could have come up with. But overall, we played a pretty good game for as close to 40 minutes as possible.”

Parker, who wore goggles to protect his left eye which was injured by broken glass during a nightclub brawl in New York, didn’t want to concede anything

to the Americans.But when asked if the U.S.

team can be beat, San Antonio’s All-Star guard took a contem-plative pause before responding.

“They’re going to be very, very tough to beat,” Parker said.

At times, the Americans’ offense was erratic. The U.S missed its first six 3-pointers and settled too quickly for jump shots instead of driving to the basket. But France wasn’t able to capitalize as the U.S. turned up its defensive pressure and forced 18 turnovers.

With the U.S. leading 52-36 at halftime, Durant opened the second half with a 3-pointer, Bryant dropped one from long range and after James dunked an alley-oop pass from Deron Williams, the Americans led 64-43.

The U.S. team’s lead bal-looned to 78-51 after three quar-ters, allowing Krzyzewski to rest Bryant, James and Durant for most of the fourth quarter. With the game well in hand, Krzyze-wski even gave 19-year-old An-thony Davis, the top pick in June’s NBA draft, his first taste of Olympic play.

Love had one of his best games since making the U.S. team’s roster. The Minnesota forward struggled during much

of the team’s exhibition tour before a breakout against Spain. He built off that game with an-other good one.

“Hopefully, this will be an

omen, at least for me, heading forward and I can continue to play at a high level,” Love said.

“I needed a game like this under my belt.”

LONDON (AP) — Japanese judo fans can relax: After three days of competition the country that invented the sport finally won a gold medal at the London Olympics, thanks to Kaori Mat-sumoto.

Fighting in the women’s 57K division Monday, Matsumoto defeated Romanian Corina Caprioriu, using footwork to gain an advantage throughout the match. Caprioriu was dis-qualified during overtime for an illegal attack from behind, but still got the silver medal.

The women’s 57K bronze medals were won by American Marti Malloy and Automne Pa-via of France.

Malloy’s father, Marty, watched his daughter from the stands, where he was wearing a T-shirt with “Malloy” embla-zoned on it, designed like a judo uniform.

“All I can ever remember about my daughter is her going

to judo tournaments since she was 6,” he said.

Malloy wasn’t sure how he would reward his daughter but said there would definitely be celebrations.

“First I’m going to have a beer in her honor,” he said.

Also in the stands was French President Francois Hol-lande, and Pavia was pleased he was there.

“He said he was a little disap-pointed (she didn’t win gold) but was still very happy,” she said.

Japan had already won two silver medals and one bronze in judo, but it expects gold virtu-ally every time its athletes step on the mat.

Despite their top seeding, the Japanese women had failed to make it to the podium. Before her fight Monday, Matsumoto said one of her ousted team-mates told her: “You are going to win gold for us.”

Matsumoto said she talked

to herself on the way to her final, telling herself to remain focused and calm.

“On behalf of my teammates, I am very happy that I was able to get a gold,” Matsumoto said.

In the men’s 73K division, Russian Mansur Isaev took gold over Japan’s Riki Nakaya, the world champion and a favorite to win the division.

It was a close-fought final in which Isaev and Nakaya at-tempted to pin each other. Isaev was eventually able to throw Na-kaya off balance before holding him down for the victory.

After sitting on Nakaya’s chest, Isaev got up and held out his arms in what appeared to be some showboating for the Rus-sian fans.

It is Russia’s second gold judo medal of the games.

Arsen Galstyan won gold Saturday, the country’s first judo gold since the breakup of the So-viet Union.

YOUTH MOVEMENT:

Teenager Franklin Wins First Gold Medal of Career

LONDON (AP) — Missy Franklin stared out on the horde of reporters, suddenly sounding very much like a high school senior-to-be. “I don’t like being up here alone,” she said nervously.

Then, just like that, she turned on a big smile and worked the room like a pro.

Thanks to this Colorado teenager, America’s swim hopes are back on track at the Olympics.

Michael Phelps has yet to win a gold medal, and Ryan Lochte’s star has dimmed just a bit. So it was Franklin pro-viding a much-needed boost to swimming’s powerhouse nation, coming back less than 14 minutes after swimming a semifinal heat to win the first gold medal of what figures to be a dazzling career.

“Indescribable,” the 17-year-old Franklin said after rallying to win the 100-meter back-stroke Monday. “I still can’t believe that happened. I don’t even know what to think. I saw my parents’ reaction on the screen and I just started bawl-ing. I can’t even think right now.”

After finishing up the semis of the 200 freestyle, she hopped out of the pool and headed to the diving well for a quick warmdown. She didn’t even have time to make it to the

practice pool, not when her bigger event was coming right up.

Even Phelps was amazed at Franklin’s stamina, saying he had never done back-to-back races that close together at such a major meet. His quick-est turnaround was about a half-hour.

“She’s a racer and she knows what to do,” Phelps said.

Matt Grevers kept the gold medals coming for the U.S. in rat-a-tat fashion, following up Franklin’s win with one of his own in the men’s 100 back. For good measure, Nick Thoman made it a 1-2 finish for the red, white and blue.

Rebecca Soni nearly pulled out a third U.S. gold, rallying furiously on the return leg of the 100 breaststroke. But she couldn’t quite catch blazing Lithuanian Ruta Meilutyte, a gold medalist at the tender age of 15.

Good thing for the U.S. that Franklin and the other Ameri-cans are coming through.

Phelps missed the podium in his 2012 Olympic debut, and Lochte has turned in two straight disappointing per-formances after opening the games with a dominant win in the 400 individual medley. He finished fourth and off the po-dium Monday night in the 200 freestyle, which France’s Yan-nick Agnel won by a full body length against a field with gold medalists galore.

On Sunday, Lochte an-chored the U.S. in the 4x100 free relay, taking over with a

seemingly comfortable lead. But Agnel chased him down on the final leg, giving France the gold.

Now, another defeat.“I did my best,” Lochte said.

“I guess sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I gave it 110 percent. There’s probably some things I messed up on, but you live and learn. (Agnel is) a great racer. There’s no doubt about it. He’s quick and he showed it last night and to-night. I’m happy for him. He did good.”

Franklin, who was rattled less than two weeks before the Olympics by the Aurora theater shooting not far from her home, barely advanced from the 200 free semis. She qualified for Tuesday night’s final with the eighth-fastest time, but clearly she was saving something for the race that re-ally mattered.

She’s still got five more events to go, having started her Olympics with a relay bronze and leaving plenty of time to come away from these games as America’s big star in the post-Phelps era.

The winningest Olympian ever plans to retire after these games.

Australia’s Emily Seebohm, the top qualifier, led at the turn and was under world-record pace, but Franklin showed a re-markable finishing kick. With her arms whirling and size-13 feet pounding the water, the 6-foot-1 swimmer passed the Aussie in the final 25 meters and lunged toward the wall for a winning time of 58.33 sec-onds.

She broke into a big smile but was clearly exhausted, her head dropping back against the wall. Seebohm settled for silver in 58.68 and Japan’s Aya Terakawa took bronze in 58.83.

“You never know until you see that scoreboard, so I was just going as fast as I could un-til I got my hand on the wall,” Franklin said. “It was 110 per-cent effort, and all the work paid off.”

The 6-foot-8 Grevers pulled off a similar rally on his return lap, winning the 100 back in an Olympic-record 52.16 — the fifth straight games, dating to Atlanta in 1996, that the U.S. men have won the backstroke. Thoman joined his teammate on the medal podium at 52.97, a gold-silver finish they were thinking about all along and reiterated just before the final.

David Marsh, Thoman’s coach, brought it up right mo-ments before they went out to the pool, saying “1-2.”

Grevers said he and Thom-an knew they “weren’t jinxing anything,” and they were right, though Grevers didn’t notice right away that Americans took the top two spots.

“I must be selfish because it took me a good 10 seconds to realize he got second,” he quipped. “That’s something I should do right away. But when I noticed, that moment became much more special. To know that we can go 1-2 in that event, again really shows the USA’s dominance in backstroke right now when we’re able to step up.”

Lochte is looking more and more like a swimmer who took on too much of a workload.

He’s already raced six times in three events covering a total of 1,500 meters over the first three days in London.

He has three more events to turn things around, but defi-nitely has the look of a tired swimmer.

If nothing else, it shows just how unbelievable Phelps was when he won a record eight gold medals in 2008.

“To win six of them is a re-ally hard thing to accomplish,” Grevers said. “Your body’s go-ing to get tired. It’s not just a physical strain, it’s an emotion-al strain to try to get up and compete every time.”

Phelps didn’t have any medal races on this night, but he did advance comfortably through the prelims and semis of the 200 butterfly, going into Tuesday’s final with the fourth-best time.

This will be his second at-tempt at becoming the first male swimmer to win the same individual event at three straight Olympics. He failed in the 400 medley, and Japan’s Kosuke Kitajima came up short of the same feat in the 100 breaststroke.

As for Franklin, someone noticed afterward that she wasn’t wearing her medal.

She pulled it out of her pocket and marveled, “Isn’t it pretty.”

Then, she showed her age again. There’s still one more year to go at Regis Jesuit High.

“My junior year was awe-some,” Franklin said. “I can’t wait to go back to Regis!”

For The Chronicle

Blueberries are not just a local crop for the town of Mossyrock. They’re a source of pride.

Come to the sixth annual Mossyrock Blueberry Festival this weekend, said festi-val coordinator Terri Aust, and you’ll see it.

“We have a booth there where people get their hair dyed blue and people come out in their blue clothing,” Aust said, “They re-ally get into it.”

The Mossyrock Blueberry Festival is sponsored by the Mossyrock Area Action League, which was founded to help the East Lewis County community find ways to connect and prosper together.

And prosper they have, said blueberry grower Glenn Aldrich, a MAAL member and owner of Aldrich Berry Farm and Nursery in Mossyrock. From the size of the parade to the attendance, which hovers at between 7,000-8,000 each day, organiz-ers have seen the event grow over the past few years. But what Aldrich is most proud to have seen grow was the community sup-port for the event.

“It started out one or two people were doing it but it got obvious pretty quickly we needed more people,” Aldrich said. “In the last few years we’ve given up a lot of duties to the different organizations and they’ve done great.”

In Aust’s mind, the must-sees during the Blueberry Festival are the parade and, if you’re a pet family, the family fun dog show and wiener dog races. For Aldrich, the collectible car show is a must as well.

“But there’s just so much. It’s a big, full day,” he said.

If all things blueberry are your thing, the Blueberry Festival will not disappoint.

Starting out Saturday morning with a blueberry pancake feed and there are also food vendors throughout the day that offer blueberry foods. A MAAL booth will offer fresh blueberry pies for sale as well as festi-val souvenirs and the chance to have your hair painted blue. At 3 p.m. the blueberry mayhem continues with the blueberry pie eating contest.

Local blueberry farms will be open for picking and buying berries. These farms include: Aldrich Berry Farm and Nursery at 190 Aldrich Road; Grose Family Blue-berry Farm at 164 Darmon Road; and PanAmerican Berry Growers at 212 Klicki-tat Creek Road. Aldrich said the festival’s timing could not be more perfect because it the optimum time to buy berries.

“That time is usually the warmest weather of the season and the blueberries are just right,” Aldrich said.

If your trip to the blueberry festival includes plans to buy blueberries, Aldrich said he always encourages shoppers to think about how they intend to use their blueberries so they know what to look for.

He said most consumers automatically reach for the plumpest, largest and juiciest varieties. While these are great for fruit sal-ads, smoothies and munching straight out of the container, Aldrich said they are not necessarily the best for cooking. Smaller, more firm berries make pies that won’t spill over in the oven and muffins that are speckled with blue and bursting with fla-vor instead of disintegrating from the in-side.

“Generally people tend to buy with their eyes,” Aldrich said. “But they’re becoming more discerning. I’ve had a lot more people recently asking for certain varieties.”

Beulah McMurry’s

Blueberry PieBy The Chronicle

When you get your blueberries home, honored Mossyrock elder Beulah Mc-Murry, 89, has a great trick for cleaning them. McMurry worked for Anderson’s Berries, now the site of PanAmerican Berry Growers, for 40 years. She recalls bringing paper lunch sacks full of cull berries home in the evenings.

She said to keep the beautiful dusty blue exterior of the blueberry, you really don’t want to wash it. Instead, she said she would take a damp dish towel, lay it on a cookie sheet and then spread the berries on top of it.

“All the stalks and blooms and every-thing you don’t want sticks to that,” she said.

McMurry shared her favorite blue-berry pie recipe for this year’s festival program. She said she got this recipe from the Andersons many years ago and Mrs. Anderson used to make this recipe for every spe-cial occasion at the farm.

BLUEBERRY PIE1 baked 8-inch pie shell1 quart fresh or frozen blueberries1 cup sugar1/4 cup water3 tablespoons cornstarch1/4 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon butter – add lastPlace half of the blueberries into prepared pie shell. Combine

1906 — Prostitutes Must Go A fearful Allen Miller gave notice to the women boarding in his Centralia house that they must leave or “discontinue us-ing the house for immoral pur-poses.” Miller had apparently de-cided that somebody might start enforcing a law holding the owner of a house equally guilty with those plying the prostitu-tion trade from within it. Also this week a judge or-dered Grace Patterson, a fixture in Centralia’s Red Light district, to pay a $25 fine or leave town at once.

1910 — Ice Plant Is Busy The manager of the Chehalis Ice Company, Mr. Smith, said he was unable to keep up with the demand for manufactured ice.

“This was partly due, however, to the fact that he has had one or two break-downs lately,” The Chehalis Bee-Nugget reported.

“The factory is working double shifts and turning out about 4,800 pounds of ice daily. Mr. Smith supplies considerable ice to Bucoda, Tenino, Rochester, Centralia, Toledo, Kelso, Win-lock, Little Falls and various other points on the south Bend branch. Mr. Smith the past week

made two trips to Portland to secure parts for his machinery. He imported a car of ice this week to take care of his orders until the plant is again in good running order. He says that they have been kept exceedingly busy, but from now on they will be able to take care of all orders.”

1931 — Olequa Creek Is Deadly The Winlock town health of-ficer banned swimming in Ole-qua Creek, saying the water had been tested and found to con-tain “typhoid and other deadly germs in very large number.” Dr. H.R. Marsh posted notices near the mill dam and swim-ming hole in Olequa Creek on the northern part of the city and banned swimming and bathing in any part of the mill pond or creek running through the city limits.

1957 — Rampage Wrecks Green Hill

Thirty boys at Green Hill School ravaged the facil-ity, destroying everything they touched in a rampage that be-gan at 6:45 a.m.The youths began smashing and destroying everything they

touched. They turned on all the faucets to flood Fir Cottage. Sheriff ’s deputies stopped the disturbance with tear gas bombs.Those responsible were “the older type that Green Hill can’t help,” stated Acting Superinten-dent Elmer Lindquist. Ten residents of Green Hill School were moved to isolation, and four remained in the Lewis County Jail the next day. This serious incident fol-lowed a death in October 1956 of a youth trapped in a fire in Ce-dar Cottage, which was next to Fir Cottage.

1959 — Napavine Library Reopens

The Napavine Public Library reopened after being closed for two years. It was located up-stairs in the city hall. The librarian was Miss Kathryn McCulley, a senior at Napavine High School.

2001 —TransAlta Energizes the New York Stock Exchange

TransAlta listed its common stock shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the sym-bol TAC. There was a celebra-tion party with confetti and ap-ples (to signify the “Big Apple”)

held at the Centralia Steam-Electric Plant and adjoining coal mine, which were owned by the Calgary-based firm. A giant video showed Trans-Alta officials opening the stock exchange session in New York. The stock closed its first day at $16.07. (The stock was trading earlier this week at $15.51.)

2004 — Interstate Closes Near Grand Mound After Prairie Fire

Jumps Freeway A prairie fire near Grand Mound jumped Interstate 5, prompting closure of the free-way. Drivers could not see more than 20 feet. The fire began on the west side of the freeway near mile-post 89. It burned eight acres. Burning embers started fires between the freeway lanes. The fire then jumped to the east side. Two more acres were burned.The fire originated in a burn barrel. “There wasn’t a lot of de-fendable space around the burn

barrel,” Albert Kassel, Wash-ington Department of Natural Resources unit forester, said.

“There was grass right up to it.” Lodgepole pine and Doug-las fir trees near the freeway

“blazed like torches.” The freeway closure lasted approximately three hours. Traffic backed up to milepost 66 near Winlock.

2005 — Drought Drains Rivers

A drought was causing re-cord-low river levels in the rain-water-fed Skookumchuck River in Bucoda, and the glacier-fed Cowlitz River in Packwood. The Skookumchuck showed a 38-year low today, but the level increased later in the week after a bit of rain. The outlook was worse for the Cowlitz, which was a third of its normal level and had the lowest water levels since records began being kept in 1911. The snowpack below 9,000 feet was basically gone.

ADVICE: Dear Abby

DEAR ABBY: My nephew “George” — who dumped his wife and children for a barmaid

— died recently. He was dead broke, so my sister paid for his funeral. I didn’t attend, but I was told that George’s cre-mated remains were put in a whiskey bottle by the barmaid, and the bottle was going to be buried in my mother’s grave. Why my sister, his siblings and his kids went along with this idea I’ll never know. None of us were raised that way. I found out about it only after the service and put a stop to it. As far as

I’m concerned, they could have buried him in a condom, but NOT in my mother’s grave! Was I wrong to put a stop to this trav-esty? — DISGUSTED UNCLE DEAR DISGUSTED

UNCLE: No, you weren’t. Your sister, nieces and nephews may have agreed because it seemed like a low-cost way to dispose of George’s remains. But I’ll bet they didn’t know the cemetery would charge a hefty fee for a second interment. Because your nephew spent his life with a woman who worked in a bar, there’s a cer-tain symmetry to the idea of a whiskey bottle being used as his urn. I was told of a widow who did the same thing with her husband’s ashes — and then she had the bottle made into a lamp

because her husband “lit up her life.” Someone should mention it to George’s grieving lady friend as a way to keep him with her until they can be buried (or scat-tered) somewhere together. DEAR ABBY: I exercise in the pool at a women’s health club. Several women there share personal information with each other in loud voices. One of them talks nonstop with anyone she can get to engage with her. By the way, these women are not exercising. They just stand in the pool socializing. Abby, I’m a captive audience! I can’t escape from their chatter. I don’t want to hear about their divorce, colonoscopy or aches and pains. I have mentioned this to the staff with no success.

Could you please address voice volume and appropriate sharing in confined spaces? — FRUSTRATED IN FLORIDA DEAR FRUSTRATED: The staff at the gym may be reluctant to speak to the women because they’re afraid it will cause them to cancel their memberships. That’s why the person who should address the voice volume issue is YOU. The women may be unaware that you can hear ev-ery word they say. If asking the magpies to pipe down doesn’t work, then you’ll have to swim at a time when they are not around. DEAR ABBY: I was cleaning out my closets and I’m wonder-ing if there is any advice you can give on donating household items to charity. Is there a right

way or wrong way to pack them up? — GAIL IN OSHKOSH, WIS. DEAR GAIL: Any items you decide to donate should be clean and in good working order. If you are getting rid of china or glassware, toss anything that is chipped and wrap the rest individually in newspaper so it arrives at its destination without breaking. Clothing should be clean, neatly folded and free of stains. Before giving your things away, ask yourself if you were on the receiving end, would you want it?

Homemade Popsicles for GrownupsBy Lisa Abraham

Akron Beacon Journal

If you are going to all the trouble to make ice pops at home, what’s the point of mak-ing them in orange, grape and cherry?

You can find those flavors in any grocery store freezer case. Depending on where you shop and what brand you buy, you’ll probably get them for a lot less money than you would spend to make them from scratch.

If all you want to do is sat-isfy the summer cravings of a 5-year-old, homemade ice pops may not be worth the effort. But if you want to make the most of your investment of time and in-gredients and create an ice pop that is bigger, better and bold enough to satisfy even an adult craving for an icy summer treat, read on.

We’ve created ice pops that will showcase classic flavor combinations without being cloyingly sweet. Some offer a little bit of surprise.

Lemon-basil and grapefruit-

mint pops take advantage of fresh summer herbs, with in-fused syrups and fresh juices. Raspberry-jalapeno offers a pep-pery heat along with the sweet for an enjoyable fire-and-ice combination.

For a truly unique taste, freeze pureed gazpacho into an ice pop and serve as a fun, in-teractive appetizer for summer parties. It’s also a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables.

Finally, frozen sangria makes for a delightfully fruity adult treat — an over-21 version of a grape ice pop.

When making alcoholic ice pops, make drinks with a lighter hand, because too much alcohol won’t freeze well and you could be left with pops that fall apart. Wine coolers work well for this because they typically have a lower alcohol content by volume (3 to 5 percent) than wine (12 to 14 percent).

Ice pop molds are easy to find. We used Tovolo brand molds purchased at TJ Maxx for just $6.99 a set. The molds are 4

ounces each and make for easy measuring. But molds aren’t a requirement. You can freeze ice pops in small plastic or paper cups or even cupcake tins, using inexpensive wooden sticks.

RASPBERRY-JALAPENO ICE POPS

12 oz. fresh raspberries, washed

3 tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice

½ cup simple syrup (see in-structions)

1 jalapeno pepper½ cup cold waterPuree raspberries in a food

processor. Strain to remove all seeds, pressing through a fine mesh to get all of the puree out. Measure out 1 cup of the pu-ree, stir in the lime juice and set aside. Save extra puree for an-other recipe.

Make simple syrup by com-bining ½ cup of granulated sug-ar and ½ cup of water in a small sauce pan. Stir over medium heat until all of the sugar is dis-solved. Cool.

Cut stem off pepper and slice

in half. Remove seeds and mem-branes and discard.

Mince half of the pepper into a food processor. Add ½ cup of the cooled simple syrup and pulse until pepper is pulverized. (Use entire pepper for a spicier pop.)

Mix pepper syrup with rasp-berry-lime puree. Stir in water to make 2 cups, and stir well to combine.

Pour mixture into ice pop molds and freeze at least four hours or until solid.

Makes 4 pops, 4 ounces each.

LEMON-BASIL ICE POPS

1 cup granulated sugar1 cup cold water¼ cup fresh basil leaves1 ¼ cups cold water½ cup freshly squeezed lem-

on juiceIn a small saucepan, com-

bine sugar and 1 cup cold wa-ter. Stir over medium heat un-til all of the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Tear basil leaves, stir into syrup and allow to steep in syrup for two hours.

Strain cooled syrup to re-move basil leaves. Measure out ¾ cup of the basil syrup and combine with lemon juice and 1 ¼ cups cold water.

Pour into ice pop molds and freeze for at least 4 hours or un-til solid.

Makes 5 pops, 4 ounces each.

GRAPEFRUIT-MINT ICE POPS

1 cup granulated sugar1 cup cold water¼ cup fresh mint leaves2 cups unsweetened grape-

fruit juiceIn a small saucepan, com-

bine sugar and 1 cup cold wa-ter. Stir over medium heat un-til all of the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Tear mint leaves, stir into syrup and allow to steep in syrup for two hours.

Strain cooled syrup to re-move mint leaves. Measure out 1 cup of the mint syrup and com-bine with grapefruit juice.

Pour into ice pop molds and freeze for at least 4 hours or un-til solid.

Makes 6 pops, 4 ounces each.
