Editor’s Best Bet

The adventures of the three very different personalities come to life in the Wickstrom Studio Theatre for the fall Centralia College drama production of

“On the Verge or the Geography of Yearning.”

The play begins tonight, run-ning through Sunday and again Nov. 15-17.

Thursday performances be-gin at 7 p.m., the Sunday mati-nee is at 2 p.m., and the curtain rises on the other performances at 8 p.m.

As the odyssey unfolds, the “sister sojourners” conquer the

unknown while discussing many of life’s hot button issues. They are doing all this while absorbing knowledge from their future.

“On the Verge,” by Eric Over-myer, was first produced in 1985 at Baltimore’s Center Stage and received its west coast premiere that same year at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival when Bri-an Tyrrell, Centralia College as-sociate professor and the play’s director, was an actor there (1984-1987).

Fund Leading Averill for Commission Post

Lewis County District 2 County Commissioner Bill Schulte, left, and District 1

County Commissioner Ron Averill, right, shake hands Tuesday night at the county

auditors oice in the Lewis County Courthouse in Chehalis. As of Tuesday night

Averill's opponent, Edna Fund, held a signiicant lead, while Schulte pulled in 72

percent of the vote in his race against Gerald Lord for the District 2 County Com-

missioner seat.

COMMISSIONER-ELECT: ‘I'm Elated’; Averill Says He’ll Wait for Official Results

By Lisa Broadt

[email protected]

It's time for a new signature hat, Edna Fund said minutes after being named the unoffi-cial winner of the Lewis County Commissioner's District 1 race Tuesday night.

Fund, in a purple knit cap, drew a markedly different sil-houette from that of her oppo-nent, the incumbent Ron Averill, who has made a cowboy hat his trademark look during his six years as a county commissioner.

The Centralia city coun-cilor received 9,262 votes, or 53.25 percent of the 17,393 votes counted on election night. Aver-ill received 8,020, or 46.11 per-cent.

Grinning and hugging fam-ily members, Fund described her mindset as "elated" as she left the Auditor's Office.

"I am over the top," Fund said. "We worked really hard … We did everything on our campaign plan because if we didn't do well we didn't want to feel there was anything else we could have done."

Connecting through phone calls and door-to-door visits helped bring in the needed votes

— and will aid her as a commis-sioner — Fund said.

"It helps me to know (the county) better … I don't have to read about it in a report," she said. "I've seen the issues. I’ve seen people packing their hous-es to move for a job, the houses that are empty, that have been repossessed."

Once in office, Fund, 64, will look into making the county commissioners’ meetings more accessible to the public, possibly by moving them from morning to evening, or by holding them in various locations throughout the county, she said.

But for Averill, the race isn’t over yet.

The incumbent said he will wait until Friday, when nearly all the remaining ballots are count-ed, to make decisions about the future. Lewis County auditor Gary Zandell said Tuesday that there are approximately 22,500 ballots left to count.

But even if the unofficial re-sults become official, Averill will have no regrets, he said.

“I think we've accomplished a lot over the last six years,” the commissioner said. “I'm 75 years old. I'd like to spend some time with my family — I've given up a lot of that.”

Fund in August won the primary race with 58.9 percent of the vote to Averill’s 41.1 per-cent.

NEW ISSUES: Legislators Add Flooding to Their List of Concerns to Take to Olympia After Redistricting Leaves Them With Lewis County Constituents

By Amy Nile

[email protected]

The incumbents all but claimed victory over their chal-lengers in the 19th District legislative races and will now likely represent southwest Lewis County residents along with constituents living in Pacific, Wahkiakum, and parts of Grays Harbor and Cowlitz counties.

The district, which was re-drawn earlier this year, now includes a swath of southwest Lewis County south of state Route 6 and west of Highway 603, including rural areas west of Winlock and Vader.

Sen. Brian Hatfield, D-Raymond, Defeats Longview Republican

Rick Winsman

Incumbent Sen. Brian Hat-field, D-Raymond, defeated Longview Republican Rick Winsman for a four-year term representing District 19 in the state Senate with 62 percent of the overall vote as of Tuesday night.

Hatfield said growing up in the area and living with the is-sues that impact voters has cer-tainly had an advantage.

“We’re certainly going to keep working for economic develop-ment, jobs and that starts with improving our infrastructure,” said Hatfield, who serves on the state’s Community Economic Revitalization Board and chairs the legislature’s Coastal Caucus.

The former House major-ity floor leader said he will con-tinue to work to improve Inter-state 5 and the ports but will add flooding to his list of concerns in Olympia. Hatfield said he supports a dam on the upper Chehalis River and will work on securing funding and support to get the project off the ground to help his newest constituents in Lewis County.

“Hopefully, once they get to know us better, our support will go up,” the self-described mod-erate democrat and member of the so-called Roadkill Caucus said. “We’re not Seattle Demo-crats.”

Winsman received just 37 percent of the overall vote but beat Hatfield with more than 60 percent of the vote in Lewis County.

“It’s just disappointing we couldn’t parlay that to the rest of the district,” Winsman said.

Following the defeat, he said he will take some time off to regroup and will go back to fo-cusing on his business, Pegasus Group LLC, which specializes in government relations and stra-tegic planning before deciding if he’ll run again.

“We definitely plan on staying in the area and staying involved as an advocate in Olympia,” the former Longview Chamber of Commerce executive said.

Rep. Brian Blake D-Aberdeen, vs. Longview Independent Tim

Sutinen

Incumbent Rep. Brian Blake D-Aberdeen, claimed 59 per-cent of the vote, triumphing over Longview independent Tim Sutinen in the race for a two-year term representing Position 2 in the 19th District at the state House of Representatives. Blake said he will help the timber, fish-ing and agricultural industries succeed after securing just 40 per-cent of the vote in Lewis County.

“I’m a pretty good fit for Lew-is County,” the 2011 Farm Bu-reau Legislator of the Year and lifetime member of the National Rifle Association said. “We have a different job ahead of us.”

Blake said balancing the next budget will be more challenging but he hopes people will work to-gether to move the state forward

by reducing unemployment and improving the economy.

Meanwhile, his opponent said he plans to go skiing and has not decided if he will run in the future though he did receive 59 percent support in Lewis County.

“Never say never,” Sutinen said.

Rep. Dean Takko, D-Longview vs. Cathlamet Republican Dixie

Kolditz

Incumbent Rep. Dean Takko, D-Longview, beat Cathlamet Republican Dixie Kolditz, for a two-year term serving Position 1 in the 19th District state House of Representatives, with 61 per-cent of the overall vote.

“I’m actually shocked,” Kolditz said. “I didn’t think we’d do that badly.”

Though Kolditz received 59 percent of the vote in Lewis County, it wasn’t enough to se-cure her a seat this time. But, she said, she will probably run for the office again.

“I still think I can have an input,” said the owner of a sup-ported living agency and a wholesale home decor company.

Her opponent said he found the numbers in Lewis County frustrating.

“Just because they typically vote Republican doesn’t mean I’m going to represent them any differently,” he said.

Takko said the part of Lewis County that is now included in his district is not much different than the rest of his district with concerns surrounding natural resources, agriculture and tim-ber. He said the biggest chal-lenge for legislators now will be finding money for education and balancing the budget.

“The campaign was the easy part,” he said. “The hard part is when we get to Olympia.”

SURPRISE: Morgan Said He Expected to Win Though Orcutt Beat Him With 70 Percent of the Vote

By Amy Nile

[email protected]

Rep. Ed Orcutt, R-Kalama, will serve another two years for the 20th District, Position 2 in the state House of Represen-tatives, serv-ing Lewis and South Thurston counties.

Though Or-cutt, 49, beat Rochester Re-publican John Morgan with 70 percent of the overall vote and 65 percent of the vote in Lewis County, Morgan said he expected to win the election.

“I ain’t heard no fat lady,” said Morgan. “I don’t believe 70 per-cent.”

But the owner of the Roches-ter-based John Morgan Truck-ing said next time he will raise money to campaign against his challenger.

After winning, Orcutt said, he will continue to protect con-stituents from tax increases, pre-serve gun rights and fight for the timber industry.

“Really the only thing that changes are the faces and the ge-ography and that one issue,” the 22-year veteran of forestry con-sulting said.

The one issue is flooding, Or-cutt said, citing his support for a dam on the upper Chehalis River.

“Water retention works really well on the Cowlitz and the Co-lumbia,” he said. “Why wouldn’t it work on the Chehalis?”

But, Orcutt said, his pri-mary goal will be getting people back to work, which will result in more revenue for the state to fund needs like education.

OUSTED: 18-Year Veteran of Legislature Surprised by Newcomer’s Success

By Eric Schwartz and Lisa Broadt

For The Chronicle

Sen. Dan Swecker trailed on Tuesday as Republican challeng-er John Braun took a sizeable lead in the race for the 20th leg-islative district state senate seat.

Swecker received 44.8 per-cent of the vote, while Braun received 55.2 percent, accord-ing to unofficial results from the Washington Secretary of State's office.

It's the first time in Sweck-er's 18-year career as an elected politician in the state Legislature, that he has found himself on the losing end of a campaign.

The Rochester man admitted he was surprised by Braun’s rela-tively decisive victory and said he would consider his options now that he’ll no longer need to drive to Olympia to attend legis-lative sessions. He was a lobbyist prior to his selection as a sena-tor when Neil Amondson’s seat came open in 1996.

He said he will now consider his future options in the private sector — perhaps as a lobbyist

— but that he’s likely served his final term as an elected official.

“It sounds like the people were ready for a change,” Sweck-er said when reached by The Chronicle Tuesday night. “I cer-tainly saw that was evident in the parts of the district where I served and in the new parts of the district. I guess they're just ready for a change.”

Swecker, 65, said he was proud of the work he’s done as a leader on transportation com-mittees and that he counts his ability to help his constituents with specific issues dear to them as his most cherished memories.

He cited the formation of the Transportation Permit Efficien-cy and Accountability Commit-tee, a “record number of projects across the state,” and the repair of a sinkhole in downtown Win-lock as three examples.

“I had some more things I wanted to do in the Legislature

that I probably won’t be able to do now,” he said.

The former fish farmer said he’s thankful for the loyal sup-port of his constituents over the past 18 years and that he’s look-ing forward to life outside the role of a state senator.

“I sure appreciate all the sup-port all through the years. … I don't think I’d ever run for an-other office,” he said. “I don’t think that’s in the cards. But you never know what I might get involved in in the private sector or public sector. I’m looking for-ward to trying in that different lifestyle.”

Braun, 45, who waited at home with his family for the election results, said he was pleased with the numbers.

"I'm feeling pretty good. We did really well," he said.

The Lewis County resident and president of Braun North-west said he is ready to lead the 20th district in a new direction. His first step: improving the state’s workers' compensation system.

Dean Dahlin Tops Hubenthal for PUD Commissioner By Kyle Spurr

[email protected]

Dean Dahlin, a weatherman and former locomotive engineer for the Union Pacific Railroad, became the newest Lewis Coun-ty Public Utilities District com-missioner on Tuesday night by beating in-cumbent James Hubenthal with 68 percent of the vote.

Dahlin earned 9,494 votes, accord-ing to the Lewis County Auditor’s Of-fice, which outmatched Hubenthal’s 4,399 votes.

Dahlin, 61, said his first or-der of business will be to work with the other commissioners and keep the ratepayers en-gaged with the decisions made by the commission.

Dahlin said he hopes to work with Hubenthal, 78, a retired ar-chitect, who has served as a PUD commissioner for 27 years, as he transitions into the six-year posi-tion.

“It will be a learning process,” Dahlin said. “But I have been go-ing to the PUD meetings for a year now.”

Voters Approve EMS Levy Continuation for Rural ChehalisBy The Chronicle

Voters living in the rural Chehalis area approved a contin-uation of an Emergency Medical Services levy for Fire District Six.

The 10-year EMS levy, which taxes residents 25 cents per thou-sand of assessed property value, helps pay for paramedic and firefighter education as well as equipment. It was not a new tax, but a continuation of an EMS levy approved by voters 10 years ago.

The owner of a $150,000 home pays $37.50 a year for this tax.

As of 8 p.m. Tuesday, when the first set of ballots were counted, the levy was approved by about 73 percent of the votes, approximately 1,702 out of more than 2,300.

Timberland Regional Library Will Annex MortonBy The Chronicle

The city of Morton will be annexed to become apart of the Timberland Regional Library as a result of Tuesday’s election.

After the first count of votes, 174 individuals voted to approve the annexation — approximate-

ly 70 percent of the total 249 votes.

As a part of the TRL district, Morton residents would also no longer have to pay the $82 fee for a library card each year and will have access to TRL services.

Instead, Morton residents would pay more in property tax-es: 0.38 dollars per one thousand of assessed value, or $57 per year for a family owning a $150,000

home.

DelBene Prevails in Newly Drawn District

Democrat Suzan DelBene, a multimillionaire and former Microsoft vice president, pulled off an unexpectedly decisive win in Washington state’s most competitive congressional race.

She held 54 percent of votes counted Tuesday night in the 1st Congressional District, com-pared with Republican John Koster’s 46 percent.

In Kirkland, a jubilant Del-Bene greeted about 150 support-ers Tuesday night.

“For me this campaign al-ways has been about standing up for working families and the middle class,” she said.

REFERENDUM 74: Lewis County Rejects But Measure Appears to Be Passing Statewide

By Amy Nile and The Associated Press

[email protected]

Voters have likely approved a measure legalizing same-sex marriage by a narrow 51.8 to 48.2 percent margin, making Washington the seventh state to allow unions for gay and les-bian couples, according to the

Secretary of State’s website early Wednesday.

Just 33.8 percent of voters in Lewis County approved Ref-erendum 74, which upholds the February marriage measure, Senate Bill 6239, that would have allowed same-sex couples to marry in June. The law has remained on hold pending the results of the election.

Steve Bell, a biologist for the Department of Fish and Wildlife, and his partner, Erik Higgins, a radiologic techni-cian, nervously awaited the vote

count Tuesday evening and ex-pressed frustration with having to wait after the marriage law passed in February.

The Chehalis couple, who have been in a committed re-lationship for three years, said they never thought they’d see the day same-sex marriage passed.

“It feels like being a full citi-zen,” Bell said.

Now the couple is consider-ing marriage. Same-sex couples like Bell and Higgins will have to wait until December to obtain

marriage certificates, if further vote counts uphold the measure.

The law specifically pre-serves the right of clergy and religious organizations to per-form or recognize — or decline to perform or recognize — any marriage or accommodate wed-ding ceremonies or related ac-tivities.

Washington joins six other states — New York, Connecti-cut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont — and the District of Columbia in allow-ing same-sex partners marriage

rights.Maine and Maryland resi-

dents supported similar mea-sures, becoming the first states to legalize same-sex unions by popular vote. Minnesota voters rejected a ban on gay marriage but same sex unions remain il-legal under state law.

“So in all four states they stood up and embraced and ac-cepted us as equals,” Bell said.

“To have that support really vali-dates a person.”

Washington Voters Narrowly Approve Same-Sex Marriage

LEWIS COUNTY REJECTS

REEFER: Marijuana Decriminalization Passes 55 to 44 Percent Statewide But Numbers Flip Locally

By Amy Nile

[email protected]

Voters approved Initia-tive-502, by a likely 55.4 to 44.5 percent statewide, making Washington the first state in the nation to challenge the federal government by decriminaliz-ing recreational adult pot use, according to the Secretary of State’s website Tuesday night.

But results in Lewis County were the opposite with just 44.2 percent support and 55.8 per-cent opposition to the measure, which ends criminal penalties for marijuana use for adults age 21 and older, establishes limits for driving under the influence of marijuana, regulates produc-tion in a state-licensed system similar to that for hard liquor, taxes sales and puts marijuana-generated revenue back into state and local budgets.

“I think it’s sad that the gov-ernment is getting into the drug dealing business,” said Lewis County Sheriff Steve Mansfield.

“But until they get everything ironed out, it’ll be business as usual for us.”

Between Mansfield’s depart-ment and the Centralia and Chehalis police departments, over 130 arrests have been made for marijuana possession so far this year but that figure does not include detainments made in other municipalities or by the state patrol.

The three departments made a combined 220 marijuana-re-lated arrests in 2011. Even a first time, low-level misdemeanor marijuana charge can result in denial and termination of em-ployment and loss of financial aid for college.

“We’re starting to differenti-ate between things that have his-torically caused problems.”

said Centralia Police Chief Bob Berg. “It seems like we’re sending mixed messages.”

I-502 aims to take recre-ational marijuana out of the hands of illegal drug organiza-tions by undercutting the black market and dealing with mari-juana abuse as a public health problem rather than using the criminal justice system.

One study showed Lewis County taxpayers could save millions of dollars due to the

decriminalization, which aims to refocus police resources on violent and property crimes. Lewis County taxpayers have spent more than $3.9 million on marijuana enforcement over the last decade and it has cost the state over $2.1 billion, according to data collected by American Civil Liberties Union of Wash-ington State, though estimates sometimes included arrests that may have been made even in ab-sence of marijuana.

However, Berg, a 30-year law enforcement veteran, said police already prioritize more serious

crimes over pot use so the new law will only change their ap-proach to simple possession.

The initiative does not alter existing medical marijuana laws, which voters enacted in 1998, and patients would still have the right to cultivate their own plants in Washington.

Only specially licenced Washington farmers can legally grow recreational plants to be sold in standalone marijuana-only stores operated by private businesses.

These state-regulated busi-nesses would pay a 25 percent

sales tax with 40 percent of those revenues going to the state general fund and local budgets. The remainder of the pot pro-ceeds would go to substance abuse prevention, research, edu-cation and healthcare.

A similar law passed in Colo-rado but another recreational marijuana measure failed in Or-egon.

MORE CHOICES: Measure Allowing Up To 40 New Public Charter Schools Causes Concern for Lewis County Educators but Offers Options to Parents

By Amy Nile

[email protected]

Voters are narrowly approv-ing public charter schools in Washington by a 51.2 to 48.8 margin, according to the Secre-tary of State’s website, although many more ballots await tabula-tion. In Lewis County, 56.5 per-cent of voters supported Initia-tive 1240, which allows up to 40 new public charter schools to be

established in the state over the next five years.

“What the impact would be on the other 295 school districts remains to be seen,” Centralia School District Steve Bodnar said. “The top priority should be to fund basic education.”

While Bodnar said he does not see the passage of I-1240 having a big impact on local schools, he is concerned that public money would be set aside to fund charter schools. Many other Lewis County educators, including Chehalis School Dis-trict Superintendent Ed Rothlin and Centralia Education Asso-ciation President Nancy Herzog, opposed the measure, fearing the charters would divert scarce state dollars away from existing public schools and further add

to the funding crisis that faces basic K-12 education, which the Supreme Court has decided must be reformed to meet re-quirements in the state constitu-tion.

But others, like Jami Lund, a Centralia resident and education reform fellow for the Freedom Foundation, a nonprofit policy think tank in Olympia, said it’s important for parents to have as many options as possible to in-crease the chances that a school will address the specific needs of a particular student rather than the one-size-fits-all approach of existing public schools.

Like other public schools, the charters would receive pub-lic funding based on enrollment and be required to be free and open to all students with priority

given to serving at-risk student populations or students from low-performing public schools. If more students apply than a charter school can accommo-date, a lottery will be used for selection to ensure fairness.

Any nonprofit organization could operate one of these in-dependently managed public schools if approved by either a local school board or a new statewide commission that has authorization by the state.

All charter schools will need to turn in annual performance reviews, which will be evaluated to determine if more charter schools should be authorized.

Charter schools would be subject to the same academic standards as existing public schools but be free of some “bur-

densome regulations” so they have more flexibility to deter-mine curriculum and budgets.

While charter school teach-ers would be held to the same certification standards as other public schools, charter schools would be exempt from some state regulations, including some of the rules regarding hir-ing and firing teachers.

Tuesday’s election marked the fourth time Washington voters have weighed in on the issue in the last 16 years. All pre-vious measures were rejected by voters.

Voters Appear to Narrowly Approve Charter Schools

SUPERMAJORITY: Initiative 1185 Requires Two-Thirds Majority to Raise Taxes

By Amy Nile

[email protected]

Voters likely passed Initiative 1185, activist Tim Eyman’s latest measure, which affirms existing requirements that legislative ac-tions to raise taxes or increase fees must be approved by a two-thirds majority in both the

state House of Representatives and the Senate or receive voter approval. The measure is pass-ing, so far, by 64.5 percent state-wide, according to the Secretary of State’s website as of Tuesday night. More than 76.6 percent of Lewis County voters supported the supermajority requirement, sending mixed messages to leg-islators, one area politician said.

“Voters want to spend mon-ey but they don’t want to be taxed,” said Rep. Dean Takko, D-Longview, who represents southwest Lewis County and

much of the coast.The Public Disclosure Com-

mission reports that much of the money spent on the initia-tive came from beer companies, big oil and other special interest groups in Olympia. These cor-porations, opponents said, want to rig the rules to avoid paying their fair share and block legisla-tors from closing tax loopholes.

The Legislature can suspend, amend or get rid of voter initia-tives by simple majority after two years. I-1185 intends to keep the governor and legislators

from suspending or removing Initiative 1053’s policies, which 64 percent of Washington voters and 78 percent of Lewis County supported in 2010.

Proponents cite this as evi-dence that voters clearly want tax increases as a last resort. Just over 63 percent of voters in Lew-is County supported Eyman’s Initiative 960 in 2007.

This election marks the fifth time the tax supermajority issue has appeared on the Washing-ton ballot. Eyman sponsored three of the measures and two

others were approved by voters in 1998 and 1993. But oppo-nents have called I-1185 uncon-stitutional, citing that a judge recently said that the initiative’s core provision conflicts with the state Constitution, which clearly states that legislation only needs a majority to pass.

“Until we get a definitive an-swer from the court, we’re going to deal with it,” Takko said.

The state Supreme Court is considering the law and a ruling is expected before the 2013 legis-lative session.

DEMOCRAGT AGAIN: Inslee Tops McKenna After Hard-Fought Race

Buoyed by strong support in King County, Democrat Jay Inslee looked well-positioned to maintain his party’s three-decade winning streak for the governor’s office.

Inslee led Republican Rob McKenna by about 51 to 49 per-cent statewide in votes counted Tuesday.

With a wave of Democratic victories nationally, from Presi-dent Obama’s re-election to a slate of wins in most contested statewide races, cheering Demo-crats gathered at the election-night party at the Westin in Seattle were optimistic about Inslee’s chances.

A confident Inslee took the stage at 10:40 p.m. and stopped just short of declaring victory in a brief speech.

“They are still counting the ballots in the governor’s race, but I believe this — I believe tonight our state has taken an-other step forward and we have elected a forward-looking gov-ernor,” Inslee said.

Hugging his wife, Trudi, he added: “Let’s go do some work. Let’s go lead the state.”

The mood was more som-ber at the Republicans’ party in Bellevue as news of Republican defeats across the country rolled across TV screens.

But McKenna remained pos-itive when he took the stage to address supporters around 9:30 p.m. He declined to concede and urged the crowd to stay up-beat, with so many votes still to be counted.

“We’re going to ask you to be patient for a few more days,” McKenna said. “This year it will be worth the wait.”

The math doesn’t look prom-ising for McKenna.

Trailing by nearly 50,000 votes statewide, McKenna would need to capture 52 per-cent of the remaining 1.3 mil-lion estimated remaining bal-lots, a Seattle Times analysis found. He was getting 48.7 per-cent as of Tuesday night.

If the vote split in King County stays the same, McK-enna would need 60 percent of the estimated remaining votes outside King County to pull even. He was getting 53.4 per-cent outside King County on Tuesday.

“King County will over-whelm McKenna,” predicted University of Washington po-litical-science professor Matt Barreto, who said there aren’t enough votes outside of King County for the Republican to bounce back.

More results are due Friday.Washington state voters

have not elected a Republican

governor since John Spellman beat then-state Sen. Jim Mc-Dermott in 1980. The guberna-torial losing streak is the longest in the country for Republicans.

Secretary of State Sam Reed predicted 81 percent voter turnout, lower than the record-setting 2008 mark of nearly 85 percent.

The governor’s race was considered one of the nation’s most competitive and drew more than $46 million in cam-paign spending, including $21 million in independent-expen-diture campaigns fueled largely by out-of-state groups.

McKenna, the two-term state attorney general from Bel-levue, began the race with an advantage in name familiarity and a reputation as a moderate Republican.

But Democrats spent the past two years relentlessly chip-ping away at that image, run-

ning ads and websites to spread the message that McKenna

“isn’t who he says he is.”McKenna gave Democrats

ammunition for that argument when he joined the national lawsuit attacking the constitu-tionality of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.

While McKenna said he only intended to challenge the law’s insurance mandate and unilateral expansion of Medic-aid, he signed on to legal briefs that sought to invalidate all of President Obama’s signature legislative accomplishment, in-cluding the law’s protections for cancer patients and women’s health care.

But McKenna won praise from supporters for his wonky grasp of state government and his pledge to boost the portion of the state budget that goes to public schools and colleges. If elected, McKenna said, he’d

push to hold down growth in other portions of the state bud-get to gradually free up more money for education.

Inslee, the former eight-term congressman from Bain-bridge Island, started out as a lesser-known figure and with questions about whether he was the best candidate Democrats could field.

He faced criticism after quitting Congress in March to concentrate on his campaign, after insisting for months he had no plans to do so.

Inslee also faced questions about his knowledge of state issues and reliance on a few talking points, such as his call to import private-sector “lean management” practices into state government.

But Inslee’s supporters said he smartly focused on job growth as the chief focus for the next governor.

‘EXPENSIVE AND UGLY’: Dermocrat Edges Out Republican for Attorney General’s Office

By The Seattle Times

In the state's most expensive and perhaps ugliest attorney general's race, Democrat Bob Ferguson held a commanding lead over Republican Reagan Dunn in Tuesday's incomplete vote count.

Ferguson was ahead by 6 per-centage points, but Dunn trailed significantly in two of the coun-ties — King and Snohom-ish — with the most votes left to count.

Dunn had said earlier in the campaign he needed at least 41 percent in King County to win statewide, for example. In the initial count, Dunn had 35 percent of the King County vote.

With about 60 percent of expected votes counted state-wide, Dunn would need a remarkable reversal of those re-sults for a comeback. The contest featured two rising political stars and showcased the importance of the open seat they're seeking. Outside partisan groups spent more than the two combined trying to influence the election.

"I have one message for Karl Rove and the $3 million his Su-per PAC spent in this state: The office of attorney general is not for sale," Ferguson said, refer-ring to spending by a national group.

Both Ferguson and Dunn are members of the Metropolitan

King County Council, where they sit next to each other in chambers. They even claim to like one another — at least at the start of a campaign later rife with nasty, personal attacks.

The race to succeed Rob McKenna got off to a pugna-cious start with its first televised debate in June. Dunn went on the offensive in his introductory statement, stressing his crime-fighting experience as a federal prosecutor, a credential Fergu-son lacks.

Ferguson countered by pointing out the attorney gener-al's job is focused mostly on civil, not criminal law. He noted he had more experience than Dunn in civil law. In the August pri-mary, Ferguson won 52 percent of the vote and called the result a dream start for his campaign.

But in October, a national Republican group founded by Rove launched a $2.9 million attack on Ferguson. The Repub-lican State Leadership Commit-tee focused its ominous ads on work Ferguson did 20 years ago as a law student to win legal rep-resentation for a convicted cop killer on death row.

A Democratic group re-sponded with $900,000 in ads smearing Dunn for reaching plea agreements — an inherent part of the justice system — with criminals he prosecuted.

The attorney general man-ages the state's largest law firm, with most of its lawyers advis-ing and defending state agencies. The post also provides a plat-form for policymaking, often with suits with other states to protect consumers.

Results as of Wednesday.

Next count in Lewis County scheduled for Friday.

Election night is over, and although many ballots remain to be counted, the results in sev-eral important local races are unlikely to change.

As new leaders step up and into important positions, we want to pause and take the time to thank Sen. Dan Swecker and County Commissioner Ron Averill for their combined two decades of service to the people of our communities.

Both Swecker and Averill have been devoted to their jobs, have done many good things for our area, and were strong con-tenders for re-election.

Although voters chose to bring new blood into both posi-tions, both incumbents can be

proud of their accomplishments and their dedication over the years.

We particularly note Sweck-er’s work on transportation issues, including his influence and success in bringing freeway projects to our area. The new Labree Road interchange south of Chehalis, the rebuilt Grand Mound interchange, the wid-ened freeway between Centralia and Littlerock and the still-un-der-construction freeway work in Centralia all came about in large part because of Swecker’s pull in Olympia.

We urge Sen.-Elect John

Braun to take up Swecker’s mantle of working with reason-able members of the opposing party for the benefit of everyone in the district and the state. Let’s make this a 20th District tradition.

We also salute Averill. The commissioner job was clearly a calling for him. He worked hard and deserves acknowledg-ment and appreciation for his service.

Averill was fairly new in his job when Lewis County was walloped by the 2007 flood on the Chehalis River. Averill testi-fied in Olympia and served as chair of the nascent Chehalis River Basin Flood Authority when it was created.

An Idea for Centralia

Commissioner-elect Edna Fund is well situated to step into the Lewis County position on the Flood Authority, since she has been filling that role well for the city of Centralia.

Centralia will have big shoes to fill as it looks for someone to replace her. The new Hub City representative must be willing to take on the huge amount of work and dedi-cation needed to adequately represent Centralia on the Flood Authority. The learning curve is immense.

They can choose someone from on the council, or take the route that has worked for

Chehalis, which chose a citizen representative from the sur-rounding community. Julie Bal-melli-Powe filled the position admirably. When she could no longer serve, Chehalis brought on Arnold Haberstroh.

Centralia should strongly consider asking Averill to rep-resent the city on the Flood Authority.

He could hit the ground running, bringing his experi-ence and knowledge to play.

Although Averill’s time on the county commission is over, we believe he could still be of great service in the crucial, on-going issue of flood control if the Centralia council would of-fer him the chance.

Dear Taliban: Israelis Have Right to HomelandTo the editor:

One of the things we Ameri-cans value most is our freedom. Both in the sense of liberty and the right to choose where we want to live, work, etc. In fact, freedom of religion is one of the major reasons our forefathers came to this land. The state we live in — Washington — is named after the “Father of our Country.”

I am a “First Amendment Sister” because I believe the Constitution as thought of and written by these great men mean we should have the right to be able to defend ourselves if need be. In fact, in Poland be-fore World War II, gun owner-ship was outlawed. An eighth-grade classmate (please don’t ask me how many years ago!) had a good comment: “Your rights end where someone else’s nose begins.”

I believe people in other countries should have these same rights as well. Right now I am specifically referring to the state of Israel. There are people who would like to see both of us gone. They have no desire to see either of us have rights — much less even exist. The same people who ran into our buildings in New York City want to blow Is-rael off the map as well.

First I want to say that just because some is of Arabic ances-try, does not make him or her a terrorist. My great-grandfather Carl Agte immigrated to the U.S. from Germany in the 1800s, and a number of his descendants fought for the U.S. in WWII. I call my relatives “Himler’s Mur-phy Law” because even though they were German they sup-ported the U.S.

With that being said, do you

know why a terrorist is like a bad check? Both are non-nego-tiable. These — I will call them Taliban, extreme Islamic fun-damentalists — will talk to you like they agree with you and go along with what you say when all the while they have no inten-tion of giving up their terrorist agenda.

God gave the state of Is-rael to the Jewish people. Do you remember the movie “The Ten Commandments” starring Charlton Heston? The movie is the Book of Exodus on video. Now, the Jewish people have re-turned home just like the Bible said they would, and the Taliban don’t like it.

I feel somewhat sorry for the Palestinians because they are caught up in this mess. They have a right to a homeland as well, and the Israelis want to give them equal status, but the Taliban are using them as a pawn.

This is also why we must stay the course in Iraq and Afghani-stan. Also, our fighting men are saying they don’t want to fight these guys in our back yard. And Iran’s president will want to go in and take over if we pull out. That will be bad for both Israel and the U.S., because Iran is get-ting nuclear capabilities.

By the way, I can find better places to wear a black wool dress with my face covered in 120-de-gree weather.

City’s Priorities on Use of Funds QuestionedTo the editor:

First of all, let me say that I love my hometown, my old alma mater and my neighbor-hood. But, I am so disappointed

in how our city parlays its funds. City priorities seem to be com-pletely backward.

After reading the recent arti-cle on our “leaf” problems, I can not understand why $40,000 can’t be made available to rid our streets of leaves and debris in a flood town?

Should that not be our No. 1 priority? I am almost afraid to complain as I have some of the largest maples in town. I work very hard to control the leaves, but its beyond my abilities and it was always such a help to have the street sweeper and back-hoe to scrape them off the wet streets.

I don’t live in the country. I live in a city where my water bill for watering my yard occasion-ally in the month of September was way more than $400.

It is important to me to have my house look as beautiful as possible because it is considered historic and I respect that. Edi-son District is so charming in the fall and my neighbors keep their homes just as beautiful. Our efforts to keep our town’s property values at their best de-serves a little help from Public Works.

Instead, I can look around the corner at Main Street and Harrison Avenue and see a house with broken windows and the whole front of the house missing and open like a doll house.

Is this really what people should see as they drive into my hometown?

Please, city council, address this problem of cleaning our streets, preventing urban flood-ing and bear down on those that think it’s OK to ignore property on main streets that should be condemned.

Lori SparlingCentralia

Last week, I laid down some basic facts about Ken Kimball, who, I firmly feel, could have been well known nationally, had he not opted to remain here in Centralia.

I also made an error in proof-reading. I had Ken being discharged in both France and the U.S. France was the correct location.

Here’s the rest of the story. His wife, Audrey, says that

he never imagined he would wind up teaching, that his first love, the one he had trained for all his early life, was composi-tion and per-formance. And yet he became one of the most loved instruc-tors on campus. His enthusiasm and his love for life were con-tagious, and this had an impact on young aspiring musicians.

Then something happened in Seattle that stepped Ken up to the next level of fame. In 1969, the Washington Plaza Hotel (now The Westin Seattle) began a series of events in its lounge, bringing in some of the nation’s top talents. Because of his well known ability to sight read music, he was asked to play for Gordon MacRae, Eartha Kitt, J. P. Morgan and Shari Lewis.

He frequently played gigs throughout the Pacific North-west, especially during the summer months. He played for the Red Skelton show at the Se-attle Opera House and with the Glenn Miller touring orchestra in Salem, Ore.

Maybe not too many of you remember the highly acclaimed and award-winning 1976 movie made for TV called “Eleanor and Franklin.” In addition to two Emmys, the film was named Outstanding Special of the Year. Ken was in that one, although if you blinked or sneezed you might have missed him. There was a ballroom scene — supposedly in New York City — that was actu-ally filmed in Seattle’s Olympic

Hotel ballroom. Ken was at the piano, playing with an orchestra that wasn’t allowed to make a sound. They had to pretend they were playing their instruments. This short bit took all day to film, meaning Ken had to run outside every hour or so in his tuxedo to feed his parking me-ter. So much for movie fame.

He retired from teaching in 1990, but not from music. He continued to make arrange-ments for both the college choir and his church’s choir. In fact, he was working with the church choir only days before he died unexpectedly from bacterial meningitis.

Ken’s life may have seemed to be centered on music, but his family was, I think, the main reason he stayed in our sleepy little town when he could have easily tasted the bright lights of any large city. Of his three children, Julie, Christopher and Janet, only Christopher, a 1977 graduate of Centralia High School, followed his musical footsteps, and that’s in addition to his “day job” as a financial adviser.

If you have seen any film clips in recent years of an at-tempt to break the Guinness World Record for the number of drummers playing at one time, that’s been Christopher organiz-ing and leading the event each of the previous nine years of its existence. The director of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Gerard Schwartz, even donned his white tie and tails to lead the first successful event. The 10th anniversary of Woodstick is Nov. 18.

I know of none of Ken’s col-leagues at Centralia College who don’t have a favorite memory or story about him. Most concern his fastidious passion for doing everything properly, and with due decorum, but all are told with warmth and love for this warm and loving man.

RESULTS: Rep. Richard DeBolt Ran Unopposed For the First Time

By Kyle Spurr

[email protected]

House Republican leader Rep. Richard DeBolt, who ran unopposed this year, spent Tues-day night with the Lewis County Republicans at the Riverside Golf Club in Chehalis closely following the elections of his colleagues in the Legislature, along with other local races.

DeBolt, a representative in the 20th Legislative District, ran against no opponent for the first time in his career.

“I’m humbled by the whole

thing,” DeBolt said. “It is a tes-tament that I have worked well with everybody.”

As the House Republican leader, DeBolt said, he is encour-aged that the Republican party gained four seats in the state Legislature, which is the third

election cycle in a row that Re-publicans have made up ground.

“We are trying to move the ball forward,” DeBolt said.

At the local level in Lewis County, DeBolt said, he was intrigued by the internal races between Republican candi-

dates, such as the state S enate and county commission races. DeBolt said he believes a lot of people were surprised by chal-lenger John Braun has a lead of 57.2 percent over longtime in-cumbent Sen. Dan Swecker.

“I supported Dan (Swecker),” DeBolt said. “But I follow poli-tics closely and I knew it would be close.”

In the Lewis County commis-sioner race, DeBolt said he was impressed with the challenger, Centralia City Councilor Edna Fund, who is leading incumbent Ron Averill with 53.6 percent.

“Ron (Averill) wasn't doing anything wrong,” DeBolt said.

“Edna (Fund) worked hard and she reaped the rewards of that.”

DeBolt said he was also not shocked by U.S. Rep. Jaime Her-rera Beutler, R-Camas, easily winning reelection to Congress with 59 percent of the vote by defeating Democratic challenger Jon Haugen's 40.1 percent.

“Jaime is going to be strong for a long time,” DeBolt said.

With some new Republican faces in office in the Legislature and in Lewis County, DeBolt said, the key will be to stay unit-ed and keep moving forward on various issues. DeBolt said his main focus will be around flooding in Lewis County and working with the capital budget to find funding.

“We will hit the ground run-ning,” DeBolt said.

NEW SERVICE: Cascade Mental Health Care to Contract with VA to Provide Free PTSD Counseling to Veterans and Their Families

By Amy Nile

[email protected]

On the day following the election, U.S. Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler attended an event at the Veterans Memo-rial Museum in Chehalis aimed at connecting veterans to ben-efits and expanding services in the community.

“Those men and women signed the check with their life,” the newly re-elected representa-tive said.

The Lewis County Veterans Fair resulted in a new service to provide free counseling services to veterans suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder.

“We have a very hearty popu-lation of veterans and they’re sometimes reluctant to ask for help,” said Dan Henderson, a Lewis County veterans benefit specialist.

With more than 9,000 vet-erans living in the county and only one service that currently offers PTSD counseling, repre-sentatives in attendance from Cascade Mental Health Care de-cided to start working on a con-tract with the U.S. Department

of Veterans Affairs to provide those services and others to vet-erans and their families for free.

“It’s a population in the area that’s definitely underserved,” said Sarah Kimball, of Cascade Mental Health. “They need help and somebody that’s going to be there.”

The event featured more than 20 service agencies to pro-vide information on available benefits to about 60 veterans in

attendance. Harry Howard, a Vietnam-

era Navy veteran who lives in Onalaska, said he found the event very helpful and was able to find services to help pay for a cremation after a fellow service-member’s recent death.

“The veteran’s family turned their back on him,” said How-ard, who is involved with the local American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Howard said he is glad to have found the help because it will alleviate undue stress on the late veteran’s partner. Addition-ally, he said, he is armed with in-formation about services to take back to his posts and share with his fellow veterans.

“There’s an awful lot of ben-efits that a lot of vets don’t know are available and they struggle,” he said.

Herrera Beutler said she

would fight for veterans like Howard in Washington and make sure they were receiving the services they were promised. She encouraged veterans having trouble navigating the maze of services or cutting through bu-reaucratic red tape to call her of-fice for help.

“This is a really strong com-munity in Lewis County,” Her-rera Beutler said. “It’s not like this everywhere. Some have turned a blind eye.”

INCUMBENT WINS: Camas Republican Defeats Opponent By Nearly 20 Percentage Points

By Lisa Broadt

[email protected]

U.S. Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, is poised to hold onto her congres-sional seat after besting Demo-cratic opponent Jon Haugen by almost 20 percentage points in preliminary tallies.

The incumbent for the 3rd Congressional District received 59.1 percent of the vote; her chal-lenger received 40.9 percent, according to unofficial results from the Washington Secretary of State's Office.

In Lewis County, Herrera

Beutler's victory was even more decisive. The congresswoman received 13,765 votes, or 70.7 percent, of the 19,472 votes counted, while Haugen received 5,679 votes, or 29.2 percent.

In the hours before results were announced, Herrera Beu-tler said she felt confident about the race.

"I'm excited and optimistic," Herrera Beutler said. "In each county, there's a lot of close races.

I'm hopeful, but this is my first re-elect, so I don't really have anything to gauge it against."

Her re-election would mean another two years focused on jobs and the economy, she said.

"It's all about jobs … I don't see that changing," Herrera Beutler said. "There will be new folks in the Congress and at the state level. The first thing we'll do is look around and see who our partners are."

By Lisa Broadt

[email protected]

It looks to be a decisive victo-ry for the incumbent Bill Schulte in the District 2 Lewis County Commission race.

With 11,450 votes, or 70.85 percent, of the 16,162 votes counted on election night, Schulte was declared the un-official winner over opponent Gerald Lord who received 4,591 votes, or 28.41 percent.

"I hear I got my butt kicked," Lord said Tuesday night. "I'm a little let down, but I know he (Schulte) will do a good job."

Lord's next step, he said, is to go to work in the morning.

"There will be no more poli-ticking. Those days are over," the business owner said.

For Schulte, there was happi-ness and relief.

"It's a euphoric feeling to ac-tually get 70 percent of the vote," Schulte said.

Though the Coast Guard veteran also received 70 percent of the primary vote, he contin-ued campaigning hard until the end.

"Maybe it should have been comfortable, but it never was," he said.

"At this job you have to keep working at it every day. It's how have you done, and what are you going to do, and how much confidence do the voters have in you."

Working toward a balanced budget, keeping the county sol-vent and improving the disaster relief plan have been some high-lights of his time as a commis-sioner, Schulte said.

In his next term, the com-missioner hopes to keep govern-ment efficient and effective.

"We need to keep taxes low. We need to encourage busi-ness and keep this as a business friendly county, and we've got to find a solution to flooding," Schulte said.

The next count of ballots by the Lewis County Audi-tor's Office will be Friday af-ternoon.

TURNOUT: About 15,000 Lewis County Ballots Await Next Count

By Kyle Spurr

[email protected]

More than 45 percent of reg-istered voters in Lewis County returned their ballots in time to be counted Tuesday night, ac-cording to the county auditor’s office.

The auditor’s office reported that 20,212 ballots have been counted of the 44,287 regis-tered voters in the county. About 15,000 to 17,000 ballots are left to be counted.

Lewis County Auditor Gary Zandell said a tremendous volume of ballots came in on Monday and Tuesday, which accounted for the thousands of ballots left to be counted.

The auditor’s office will count ballots again on Friday. Zandell said the counting will not be finished until next week.

Mariann Zumbuhl, who su-pervises the elections for the au-ditor’s office, said during presi-dential election years the county usually sees about 80 percent of ballots come back.

The ballots are counted by six workers in the auditors office. The workers process each ballot by checking the signatures and crediting each voter.

Zumbuhl said for ballots with write-in candidates or with corrections, the counters use a computer program to plug in the voters' selections.

The auditor’s office had a constant trickle of voters, young and old, on Tuesday. Some were voting for the first time.

Joey Kelly, a 19-year-old Cen-tralia College student, cast his first ballot on Tuesday inside the county courthouse.

Kelly said he voted for Mitt Romney in the presidential elec-tion because he believes Romney would take the country in a bet-ter direction.

Kelly also said he wanted to vote against the Washington state measure to legalize mari-juana.

“I don’t like the legalization of marijuana,” Kelly said. “It’s go-ing to cost too much money.”

Al Fitzgerald, 72, Chehalis, said he is also came out to vote on Tuesday because he is con-cerned with where he believes the county is heading.

Fitzgerald said he would like to see more people come out and fulfill their civic duty.

“I always vote,’ Fitzgerald said. “It’s what you are supposed to do.”

Wacky Write-Ins Irritate Ballot Counters (and No, Mickey Mouse Didn’t Win)By The Chronicle

Each election year, ballot counters in the Lewis County Auditor’s Office sift through multiple write-in selections for political office, which include the likes of Mickey Mouse, Jesus Christ and Homer Simpson, to name a few.

Mariann Zumbuhl, the election supervisor in the auditor’s office, said 1,500 write-in candidates were counted in the primary elec-tion this year. A count for the general election was not available as of Tuesday afternoon.

Marjorie Hatfield, who helps count ballots in the county courthouse, said she had seen many fictional write-in candidates and some ballots with five selec-tions for the presidential race alone.

“Maybe they want us to make the choice,” Hatfield quipped.

At one point on Tuesday, ballot counters in the audi-tor’s office found ballots with write-in choices for Bozo the Clown, Chuck Norris, Rambo, Joe Schmo and Minnie Mouse.

Ballot counter Jeri McCar-thy said the random write-ins become time consuming and make more work for the counters.

“After a while they are not funny,” McCarthy said. “They are irritating.”

THREE JUDGES REMAIN: Nelson Hunt, Richard Brosey and James Lawler Remain in Office After Routinely Uncontested Election

By The Chronicle

All three current Lewis County Superior Court judges who ran for re-election won in Tuesday’s election. All were un-opposed, and will serve a four-year term.

Nelson Hunt, who holds Po-sition 1, has been in office since

2005. From 1979 to 1990 he was a Lewis County deputy prose-cuting attorney and then served as the elected Lewis County prosecuting attorney from 1990 to 1995. As of 8 p.m. Tuesday, Hunt received 13,255 votes.

James Lawler has held Posi-tion 2 since his election in 2007. He served as court commission-er pro tem from 1997 to 2007.

As of 8 p.m. Tuesday, Lawler received 13,262 votes.

Richard Brosey, of Position 3, has held office since being ap-pointed in 1998. Previously he served as Lewis County Superior Court commissioner from 1994

to 1998. As of 8 p.m. Tuesday, Brosey received 13,504 votes.

All three judges received 100 percent of the vote.

Also re-elected Tuesday was State Appeals Court Judge Joel Penoyar, who will serve a six-year term as the appellate court judge who will hears cases on appeal from Lewis, Cowlitz, Wahkiakum, Pacific, Clark and Skamania counties for divisions two and three. Penoyar was run-ning unopposed.

Penoyar, 58, was appointed in 2005 to fill a vacancy on the court by Gov. Chris Gregoire. He ran for election in 2006 and won.

News in Brief

Auction Will Help Cancer Patient HalvorsenBy The Chronicle

A silent auction to benefit cancer patient John Halvorsen will be held 1-5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18, at the Red Barn Studios west of Chehalis.

Halvorsen, a Chehalis resi-dent, and his family have been longtime members of this com-

munity. He previously owned Properties Plus and Rentals Etc. in Centralia.

Halvorsen was co-founder of Acres of Hope, which has provided more than 100,000 pounds of food to the Lewis County Food Bank Coalition. He also is the chair of Alder House, a Centralia assisted liv-ing facility for mentally handi-capped young adults.

Halvorsen’s cancer and subsequent chemotherapy and radiation treatment have limited his ability to work. He has medi-cal insurance through his

job at Sunbird Shopping Center,

but the deductibles, uncovered medical costs and inability to work have devastated the family finances.

The Red Barn Studios are lo-cated on Goff Road, just off state Highway 6, 3.6 miles west of In-terstate 5.

For additional information, call Jason Dix, 219-6525; Joe Ritchey, 807-3310; or Duane Taylor, 269-3021.

IMPACT: Presidential Race Followed From Home, Restaurants and Political Gatherings

By Kyle Spurr

[email protected]

Chehalis couple Ray and Robin Berger spent Tuesday eve-ning in the Kit Carson Restau-rant sports lounge in Chehalis to watch the presidential race on a big screen TV by the bar.

Like others Americans around the country, the Bergers voted early and waited on Tues-day to see if their ballot choices would come true on the national stage.

By the end of the night, Pres-ident Barack Obama clinched reelection with 303 electoral votes.

Earlier that evening, as they watched results being tabulated before all the polls had closed, Robin, a clinical social worker, said the health care plan passed by Obama, popularly known as Obamacare, is a major concern for her.

Robin said she is worried the plan has limited the scope of practice for healthcare providers like herself.

Both Ray and Robin voted for Mitt Romney.

Ray, who voted within 24 hours of receiving his ballot in the mail, had a more simple rea-son for making his choice.

“I think the current adminis-tration is destroying the coun-try,” Ray said.

Although Ray and Robin quietly hoped for a Republican victory in the presidential elec-

tion, Robin said some other state measures intrigued her this year, including the passages of gay marriage and the legalization of marijuana.

“I hope they pass,” Robin said. Behind the Republican-

leaning couple sat more than 12 members of the Lewis County Democrats, who met on Tues-day night for an “Election Night Victory Party.”

The Democrats squeezed to-gether in the sports lounge and passed around “I Voted” stick-ers, pins and a cartoon from The New Yorker that showed a ru-ral setting with a sign that read

“Next Democrat 50 Miles.”“That’s how we feel here,”

Second Vice Chair Jennifer Slemp said.

The Lewis County Demo-crats discussed how the general election results would impact various issues, including em-ployment, education and health care for their county.

The Democrats also handed out a button that read, “Women are not a pre-existing condition.”

Lewis County Democrat Bil-lie Jo Rader, of Chehalis, said rights for women are a major is-sue for her.

Rader said she believes it is important that Planned Parent-hood stays in Lewis County and women’s health care improves across the country.

“Women are screaming in this country,” Rader said.

Down the road at the River-side Golf Club on Tuesday night, the Lewis County Republicans met for an election day party of their own.

Lewis County Republican Chair Colleen Morse said her

political party in the county feels mostly ignored by the na-tional and state government.

Morse did, however, compli-ment Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler for her help with flooding solutions and working to find transportation funding.

Beutler, a Southwest Wash-ington native, made an appear-

ance at the Riverside Golf Club Tuesday night.

While those in attendance kept an eye on the presidential race a few hours before the polls closed, Morse said she did not want to make a prediction.

“I don’t predict. I hope and I vote,” Morse said “We are all hoping that there is something

to celebrate this year.” Back in the Kit Carson sports

lounge, Ray and Robin contin-ued to watch the electoral points tally up for each candidate and they hoped for the best.

“Whatever political party, we are all people,” Robin said. “We want to see this country succeed and prosper.”

LEANING TO THE LEFT:

Traditionally Democratic State Remains in Similar Hands After Republicans Defeated

By The Seattle Times

State Rep. Troy Kelley, D-University Place, was leading Republican business consultant James Watkins in the hotly con-tested race to replace retiring state Auditor Brian Sonntag.

In an incomplete vote count Tuesday, Kelley had about 52 percent of the vote compared to 48 percent for Watkins.

"I think the numbers look good; we're feeling relatively comfortable," Kelley said late Tuesday.

Watkins said it was still too early to say.

Kelley spent much of the election defending himself from allegations raised by Watkins about a lawsuit that accused Kelley of misappropriating

customer funds, fraudulently transferring funds, tax evasion and lying. Kelley paid an undis-closed amount to settle the suit.

Kelley questioned Watkins' claims regarding experience do-ing performance audits.

The state auditor's office does financial and legal com-pliance audits of state and local government, as well as perfor-mance audits to find efficiencies in government operations.

The office has 336 full-time employees.

Secretary of State

Democrat Kathleen Drew was in a dead heat with Repub-lican Kim Wyman in the race to replace retiring Secretary of State Sam Reed. If Drew wins, she would be the first Demo-cratic secretary of state since 1964.

The secretary of state over-sees state and local elections, registers and licenses private corporations and is in charge of

the state archives. The office has 260 full-time employees.

Wyman is the Thurston County auditor. Drew is a for-mer state senator.

Lieutenant Governor

Democratic Lt. Gov. Brad Owen was leading former state Senate Republican Leader Bill Finkbeiner by about 54 percent to 46 percent.

Owen has been lieutenant governor since 1997.

The lieutenant governor pre-sides over the state Senate and takes command when the gov-ernor is out of state.

Finkbeiner is a moderate Republican who provided a key vote needed to pass a landmark gay-rights bill in 2006.

Commissioner of Public Lands

Public Lands Commissioner Democrat Peter Goldmark won re-election. Goldmark had 58 percent of the vote compared to 42 percent for Republican tea-

party favorite Clint Didier.Didier, a Pasco farmer and for-

mer NFL player and primary can-didate, lost to Dino Rossi in the 2010 primary for the U.S. Senate.

The lands commissioner heads up the state Department of Natural Resources and over-sees 1 million acres of farmland, 2 million acres of forest land and 2.6 million acres of aquatic lands. The agency has more than 1,400 full-time employees.

Insurance Commissioner

Incumbent Democrat Mike Kreidler won re-election with 58 percent of the vote in initial returns.

Republican John Adams, an insurance underwriter and bro-ker, was trailing with 42 percent of the vote. Kreidler was first elected as insurance commis-sioner in 2000. His office, which has 214 full-time employees, oversees Washington's insur-ance industry, including licens-ing and auditing companies

based in the state.

State Treasurer

Incumbent Democrat Jim McIntire won re-election as state treasurer.

McIntire had about 58 per-cent of the vote compared to roughly 42 percent for Repub-lican Sharon Hanek, who runs a tax- and business-advisory service. The treasurer's office, which has 62 full-time employ-ees, manages the state's cash flow, invests the state's operat-ing cash in short-term, interest-bearing accounts, and manages the state's bond sales.

Superintendent of Public Instruction

State schools Superinten-dent Randy Dorn breezed to re-election as the only candidate for the office on the ballot, run-ning unopposed after winning 56 percent of the vote in the pri-mary election.

Democrats Leading in State Races After Initial Counts

The Chronicle, Centralia/Chehalis, Wash., Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012 • Main 13LOCAL

By Charles Babington

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Having lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections, Republicans plunged Wednesday into an intense period of self-ex-amination, blame-setting and tes-ty debate over whether their party needs serious change or just some minor tweaks.

The fallout will help deter-mine whether the GOP might re-turn to heights approximating the Ronald Reagan years or, as some fear, suffer even deeper losses as the nation’s Democratic-leaning Hispanics increase in number.

“The party is clearly in some sort of identity crisis,” said Rick Tyler, a past aide to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Hard-core conservatives, furi-ous at President Barack Obama’s re-election in the face of a weak economy, called for a wholesale shift to resolutely right positions on

social and fiscal matters. Some de-manded that party leaders resign.

Establishment Republicans largely shrugged off the tirades. But they split into two main camps themselves, portending potentially lengthy soul-search-ing, especially in Congress.

One group calls for calm and a steady course. It emphasizes that the party still controls the House, and notes that Obama’s popular-vote margin was small-er than in 2008.

“The Republican Party is ex-actly right on the issues,” said Terry Holt, a veteran GOP strat-egist with close ties to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. The party mainly needs to nominate candidates who can relate to average Americans bet-ter than multimillionaire Mitt Romney did, Holt said.

Some other Republicans, however, see bigger problems. The party must shed its “abso-lutism on issues like tax increas-

es,” which congressional law-makers oppose at virtually every level, said John Ullyot, a former Republican Senate aide.

“The only way the party is go-ing to move more to the middle is when we get sick of losing,” he said.

That’s essentially what Democrats did in the 1990s. Demoralized after big losses by presidential nominees Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis

— and still mindful of George McGovern’s 1972 disaster — Democrats turned to a centrist Arkansas governor, Bill Clinton. He won two elections, reposi-tioned the party and served as Obama’s top surrogate this fall.

Some activists in both parties say Republicans eventually must follow suit to survive. But their pri-maries are dominated by staunch opponents of tax hikes, abortion, immigration reform and govern-ment regulations. Until and unless that changes, a shift toward the center may be impossible.

BOSTON (AP) — Mitt Romney spent the past six years running for president. After his loss to President Barack Obama, he’ll have to chart a different course.

His initial plan: spend time with his family. He has five sons and 18 grandchildren, with a 19th on the way.

“I don’t look at postelection to be a time of regrouping. In-stead it’s a time of forward fo-cus,” Romney told reporters aboard his plane Tuesday eve-ning as he returned to Boston after the final campaign stop of his political career. “I have, of course, a family and life im-portant to me, win or lose.”

The most visible member of that family — wife Ann Romney — says neither she nor her husband will seek po-litical office again.

“Absolutely he will not run again,” she told the hosts of ABC’s “The View” in October when asked if a loss would mean the end of Romney’s po-litical career. “Nor will I.”

Romney’s senior advisers refused to speculate publicly about what might be next for

their longtime boss. There was a general consensus, however: The 65-year-old Romney is unlikely to retire altogether. But following his defeat, his future role in a divided Repub-lican Party is unclear.

“He’s not a guy who’s going to stay still, right. He’s not a guy that’s just going to hit a beach, play a lot of golf. He’ll do some-thing,” said Russ Schriefer, one of Romney’s top strategists.

The Republican presiden-tial nominee spent most of his career in private business. He’s run for office four times, and lost all but his bid for Mas-sachusetts governor in 2002. That year, he ran as a moder-ate Republican who supported abortion rights and struck a conciliatory tone on gay rights and climate change. He also ran for the Senate.

After he decided to run for president, some of those positions changed. In his two presidential campaigns, he ran as an opponent of abor-tion, advocated amending the Constitution to ban gay mar-riage and described himself as

“severely conservative.”

WASHINGTON — The new Congress will be slightly more Democratic and more female though House Republicans still hold a majority large enough to confront and confound President Barack Obama as the nation grapples with a slow-moving economic recovery and record deficits.

Senate Democrats, once scrambling to save vulnerable incumbents and their tenuous numerical advantage, surpris-ingly gained a net of two seats as undecided races were set-tled Wednesday. The final re-sults gave women a high-water mark of 20 in the 100-member chamber as Hawaii’s Maz-ie Hirono, Nebraska’s Deb Fischer, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Tammy Bald-win of Wisconsin and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota were elected to join 15 return-ing female senators.

“I think what women bring to our Senate is a reality that voters across the country understand and reflect,” said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who chaired her party’s campaign commit-tee. “When they see women speaking, there are people who say, ‘I understand that.’”

IN MONTANA, Democratic Sen. Jon Tester turned back a chal-lenge from Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg when the vote count wrapped up Wednesday. In North Dakota’s open race, GOP candidate Rep. Rick Berg conceded to Heitkamp, the for-mer state attorney general.

Democrats will hold 53 seats to 45 for the Republicans, with the certainty that Vermont in-dependent Bernie Sanders will

align with the Democrats and the expectation that Maine in-dependent Angus King will do the same to give Democrats an effective 55-45 majority. King said he could make a decision as early as next week when he heads to Washington. He re-ceived a congratulatory call from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., but said he never heard from the Republi-can leadership.

IN THE HOUSE, Republicans will have a smaller majority but not so small that it impacts their ability to control the chamber’s agenda and challenge Obama and Senate Democrats.

“The message I got is Ameri-cans don’t want a runaway Con-gress and administration,” said Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., who is expected to head his party’s campaign committee next year.

“If they wanted one-party con-trol, they could have done that this election cycle. They didn’t do that.”

With only a smattering of House races still undecided, Republicans had won 233 seats, were assured of another after a December runoff between two Louisiana Republicans and led in an Arizona contest. That’s well more than the 218 needed to control the chamber, but less than the 242 seats they hold in the current Congress, including two seats vacated by GOP law-makers.

MONTHS OF CAMPAIGNING and millions of dollars spending left Washington with the same line-up: a Democratic president and a divided Congress. Lawmakers spoke hopefully about bridging the divide and tackling issues such as immigration, but divi-sions within their ranks, a still formidable tea party presence and even the next round of con-gressional races could undercut any agenda.

The rancor of the legislative session and the campaign clear-ly still lingered.

“I will do everything within my power to be as conciliatory as possible,” Reid told reporters at a Capitol Hill news confer-ence. “But I want everyone to also understand, you can’t push us around.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who had said his goal was to make Obama a one-term president, said Republicans will cooperate with the president. “To the ex-tent he wants to move to the po-litical center, which is where the work gets done in a divided gov-ernment, we’ll be there to meet him half way,” McConnell said.

CONGRESS CAN’T WAIT until Jan-uary to deal with the so-called fiscal cliff of expiring Bush-era tax cuts and automatic spend-ing reductions to defense and domestic programs. If unre-solved, economists warn that the double financial hit could

plunge the nation into another recession.

A nervous Wall Street re-acted Wednesday, with the Dow dropping more than 250 points.

Obama telephoned House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Reid, McConnell and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to discuss the legisla-tive agenda for the rest of the year. The White House said the president reiterated his commit-ment to a bipartisan consensus.

ELECTED TO THE SENATE on Tues-day were moderate to conserva-tive Democrats such as Indiana Rep. Joe Donnelly, Virginia’s Tim Kaine and Heitkamp who may see bipartisanship as vi-tal to their political survival in swing and Republican-leaning states. Massachusetts and Wis-consin tapped two liberal Dem-ocrats — Warren and Baldwin.

“I think we have some fresh faces coming in from both spec-trums,” Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said in an interview. “The Democratic Party is the face of America and basically they heard the same thing I heard. People came up to me a thou-sand times a day, ‘Will you please work together, will you please get something done for the sake of my family, my chil-dren, this great country of ours.’”

But divisions among Dem-ocrats — as well as the ones within the GOP — could prove problematic for House and Sen-ate leaders. Reid will be looking to protect his majority as Demo-crats again face some disagree-able math in 2014, when they will be defending 20 Senate seats to the GOP’s 13.

McConnell not only will have to keep his surly factions united, but he faces his own re-election bid in two years.

IN THE HOUSE, 10 members of the huge tea party-backed freshman class of 2010 lost, 83 of whom sought re-election. Freshman tea party champion Rep. Allen West of Florida was behind Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy by nearly 2,500 votes but refusing to concede. It was the most expensive House race in the country, with the two rivals and their allies spending a combined $23.8 million, about two-thirds of it for West.

“The tea party is a strong movement,” said Rep. Raul Lab-rador, R-Idaho, among the re-elected 2010 freshmen.

Around 30 or 40 House Re-publicans — not all of whom were freshmen in 2010 — have proven difficult for GOP leaders to corral on some issues, includ-ing on compromises eventually reached with Obama and Dem-ocrats over averting government shutdowns and defaults.

DEMOCRATS WON 192 seats and led in eight races, giving them up to 200 seats next Congress. They controlled 193 this year, including three vacancies.

It remained unclear Wednesday whether Pelosi will seek to lead the party in the next Congress. In September, the former House speaker told reporters that it would be up to her fellow Democrats and her family “after all this time” to decide her fate.

One major change: For the first time in the House’s history, more than half of its Demo-cratic members next year will not be white men, according to figures compiled by The Associ-ated Press. So far about 99 of the 192 declared House Democratic winners Tuesday are women, black, Hispanic or Asian.

Nation/WorldNation in Brief

Democrats Solidify Their Senate Rule But Republicans Will Still Run House in Second Obama Term

Democrats strengthened their hold on the Senate but failed Tuesday to recapture the majority in the House of Representatives they lost two years ago. President Barack Obama, in his freshly au-thorized second term, will face the same divided Congress in 2013 that has bedeviled efforts to enact his major legislation.

“Now that the election is over, it’s time to put politics aside and work together to find solutions,” said Senate Majority Leader Har-ry Reid, D-Nev., who may have a slightly bigger working majority

— but not as big as the filibuster-proof one Obama enjoyed his first two years in the White House.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who also gets to keep his job, offered to work with any will-ing partner, Republican or Dem-ocrat, to get things done. “The American people want solutions — and tonight, they’ve responded by renewing our majority,” he told a gathering of Republicans.

But Boehner also said that by keeping Republicans in control of the House, voters made clear there is no mandate for raising taxes. Obama has proposed imposing higher taxes on households earn-ing over $250,000 a year.

Dow Loses 313 in Post-Election Sell-Off

Investors dumped stocks Wednesday in the sharpest sell-off of the year. With the election only hours behind them, they focused on big problems ahead in Washington and across the Atlantic Ocean.

Frantic selling recalled the days after Obama’s first victory, as the financial crisis raged and stocks spiraled downward.

Four years later, American voters returned a divided gov-ernment to power and left inves-tors fretting about a package of tax increases and government spending cuts that could stall the economic recovery unless Congress acts to stop it by Jan. 1.

In Europe, leaders warned that unemployment could re-main high for years, and cut their forecasts for economic growth for this year and 2013. The head of the European Cen-tral Bank said not even power-house Germany is immune.

The Dow Jones industrial av-erage plummeted as much as 369 points, or 2.8 percent, in the first two hours of trading. It recov-ered steadily in the afternoon, but slid into the close and ended down 313, its biggest point drop since this time last year.

Maine, Maryland Back Same-Sex Marriage In Historic Votes; Colorado Joins Washington in Legalizing Pot

Altering the course of U.S social policy, Maine and Mary-land became the first states to approve same-sex marriage by popular vote, while Washing-ton state and Colorado set up a showdown with federal authori-ties by legalizing recreational use of marijuana.

The outcomes for those bal-lot measures Tuesday were a milestone for persistent but often thwarted advocacy groups and activists who for decades have pressed the causes of gay rights and drug decriminalization.

Colorado Gov. John Hick-enlooper, a Democrat who op-posed legalization, was less en-thused. “Federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug, so don’t break out the Cheetos or gold fish too quickly,” he said.

The results in Maine and Maryland broke a 32-state streak, dating to 1998, in which gay marriage had been rebuffed by every state that voted on it. They will become the seventh and eighth states to allow same-sex couples to marry.

World in Brief

Celebrations in Obama’s Indonesian Childhood Home and Around the World After Re-Election

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — From his old school in In-donesia to a Japanese beach town that happens to share his name, people around the world cheered President Barack Obama’s re-election Wednesday and expressed hope that he will help allay global conflicts and economic woes.

The results of Tuesday’s election were closely watched in many countries. Several U.S. embassies held mock elections and threw parties as returns came in.

At Jakarta’s Menteng 01 Elementary School, which Obama once attended, stu-dents happily marched with a poster of the president from one classroom to another after hearing that he had defeated Republican Mitt Romney to win a second term. “Obama wins ... Obama wins again,” they shouted.

A statue of a young “Barry” Obama, as he was called as a child, stands outside the school.

“I want to be like him, the president,” student Alexander Ananta said.

Britain Says Obama Win is an Opportunity To do More to End Syrian Civil War

BEIRUT (AP) — Britain called on the U.S. and other allies Wednesday to do more to shape the Syrian opposition into a coherent force, saying the re-election of President Barack Obama is an opportunity for the world to take stronger ac-tion to end the deadlocked civil war.

Also Wednesday, Turkey said NATO members — in-cluding the United States — have discussed using Patriot missiles along the Syrian bor-der. It was unclear whether the purpose was to protect a safe zone inside Syria or to protect Turkey from Syrian regime at-tacks.

The announcements come as U.S. allies appear to be anticipat-ing a new, bolder approach from Obama now that he has won a second term.

“With the re-election of Obama, what you have is a strong confidence on the British side that the U.S. administration will be engaged more on Syria from the get-go,” said Shashank Joshi, an analyst at London’s Royal United Services Institute, a security think tank.

It remains to be seen, how-ever, if the U.S. plans to change course in any significant way.

Brazil to Distribute Oil Revenues More Evenly

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Brazil’s House of Representa-tives has approved a controver-sial proposal to share profits from the country’s growing oil production sector more evenly between petro-producing states and those with little or no pro-duction.

The bill, approved late Tues-day, increases royalties oil com-panies operating here will have to pay the government from 10 percent to 15 percent of total profits. Of that, 21 percent will go to non-oil producing states and municipalities.

Legislators from Brazil’s top oil producers, Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo states, have threatened to challenge the measure in the courts.

The Senate approved the same text last year, meaning it will now go to President Dilma Rousseff for ratification. Gov-ernment sources say she’s likely to sign off on the bill.

Experts say massive oil dis-coveries off the Brazilian coast could yield an estimated 50 bil-lion barrels.

Four More Years

By David Espo

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — One day after a bruising, mixed-ver-dict election, President Barack Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner both pledged Wednesday to seek a compromise to avert looming spending cuts and tax increases that threaten to plunge the econ-omy back into recession.

Added Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. “Of course” an agreement is possible.

While all three men spoke in general terms, Boehner stressed that Republicans would be will-ing to accept higher tax revenue under the right conditions as part of a more sweeping attempt to reduce deficits and restore the economy to full health.

WHILE THE IMPENDING “fiscal cliff” dominates the postelec-tion agenda, the president and Republicans have other con-cerns, too.

Obama is looking ahead to top-level personnel changes in a second term, involving three powerful Cabinet portfolios at a minimum.

And Republicans are heading into a season of potentially pain-ful reflection after losing the presidency in an economy that might have proved Obama’s po-litical undoing. They also have fallen deeper into the Senate minority after the second elec-tion in a row in which they lost potentially winnable races by fielding candidates with views that voters evidently judged too extreme.

ONE MAJOR TOPIC for GOP dis-cussion: the changing face of America.

“We’ve got to deal with the issue of immigration through good policy. What is the right policy if we want economic growth in America as it relates to immigration?” said former Republican Party Chairman Haley Barbour. Obama drew support from about 70 percent of all Hispanics. That far out-paced Romney, who said dur-ing the Republican primaries that illegal immigrants should self-deport, then spent the gen-eral election campaign trying to move toward the political mid-dle on the issue.

The maneuvering on the economy — the dominant issue by far in the campaign — began even before Obama boarded Air Force One to return to the White House from his home town of Chicago.

AFTER SECURING a second term, the president is committed to bipartisan solutions “to reduce our deficit in a balanced way, cut taxes for middle class families and small businesses and create jobs,” and he told congressional

leaders as much in phone calls, the White House said.

Boehner, whose anti-tax Re-publicans renewed their House majority on Tuesday, said GOP legislators were “willing to ac-cept new revenue under the right conditions.” That means tax reform and economic growth rather than raising rates, he em-phasized, and accompanying steps to rein in the government’s big benefit programs.

“The question we should be asking is not ‘which taxes should I raise to get more rev-enue, but rather: which reforms can we agree on that will get our economy moving again?” the Ohio Republican said at the Capitol.

WHILE BOTH THE president and Boehner sent signals of bipar-tisanship, there remain wide differences between the two on specifics. At the same time, each man has something of a postelection mandate, given Obama’s re-election and the Re-publicans’ successful defense of their House majority.

The reference to a balanced approach to deficit reduction re-flected Obama’s campaign-long call for higher taxes on incomes above $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.

That was something Boehner made plain he opposes.

SENATE MAJORITY LEADER Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters that any solution should include higher taxes on “the richest of the rich.” That was in keeping with Obama’s election platform, which calls for the expiration of tax cuts on higher-income earn-ers.

Barring legislation to avoid the “fiscal cliff” by year’s end, taxes are on course to rise by more than $500 billion in 2013, and spending is to be cut by an

additional $130 billion or so, to-tals that would increase over a decade. The blend is designed to rein in the federal debt, but officials in both parties warn it poses a grave threat to an eco-nomic recovery that has been halting at best.

Obama and congressional leaders in both parties say they want an alternative, but serious compromise talks were non-existent during the fierce cam-paign season.

That ended Tuesday in an election in which more than 119 million votes were cast, mostly without controversy despite dire predictions of politically charged recounts and lawsuits while the presidency hung in the balance.

OBAMA WON THE popular vote narrowly, the electoral vote com-fortably, and the battleground states where the campaign was principally waged in a landslide.

The president carried seven of the nine states where he, Rom-ney and their allies spent nearly $1 billion on television commer-cials, winning Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Colorado and Virginia.

The Republican challenger won North Carolina, and Flori-da remained too close to call

Obama also turned back late moves by Republicans in Penn-sylvania, Michigan and Minne-sota.

HISPANICS ACCOUNT for a larger share of the population than the national average in Nevada and Colorado, two of the closely contested battleground states. The president’s outsized major-ity among Hispanics — in the range of 70 percent according to Election Day interviews with voters — helped him against a challenger who called earlier in the year for self-deportation of illegal immigrants.

Everyone hates high heat bills. But we’re all sick and tired of turn-ing the thermostat down and freez-ing our buns off.

That’s why Sears knew they had a home-run on their hands with the first-ever low-cost appliance with Hybrid-Thermic™ heat technology and Hi-Def Fireless Flame. And no other heater anywhere has it.

The brand-new portable Heat Surge EV-2 sips so little energy, you can run it for a full 12-hour day or night for just about a buck.

This modern marvel, hailed as the zone heating ‘Miracle Heater,’ caused such a frenzy at Sears stores, one shopper refused to leave until she got one. Since there were none in stock, store managers were forced to hand over the store’s only floor model, against store policy.

So today, immediate action is being taken to give more people, more ways to get them.

Beginning at 8:30 a.m., today’s readers are allowed to phone in or snag one online. Heat Surge even released this advertising announce-ment and a 2-Day Double Coupon which has been reprinted on this page for today’s readers to use.

By using this coupon, everyone who calls is being rewarded with $227 off. That makes this remark-able new home appliance a real steal at just $299. Since this is a Double Coupon Deal, it not only gives you an extraordinary dis-count, but also entitles you to free shipping and handling, totaling $227 off. So now everyone has a fair shot at getting one.

“Folks are saving money every-where by zone heating with the new Heat Surge EV-2,” said Dave O’Neil, the company’s analyst tracking the impact Heat Surge is having on consumer heat bills.

This all started when Sears wanted the world-famous ‘Amish Miracle Heater’ that everyone was asking for.

The shy but now famous Amish craftsman said Sears made the most sense. “I’d reckon they’re the old-est and most trusted in the coun-try,” one of the Amish craftsmen known as Melvin said.

“It’s been saving folks money, big money. And we know it because we’re hearin’ about it,” he said.

“They know about our quality. No particle board, just real wood. Fully-assembled cabinets by our hands and we’re making them right here in the good ole USA,” Melvin said.

Director of Technology David Martin explained, “The Heat Surge Accent EV-2 is a revolutionary appli-ance that can easily roll from room to room. But we didn’t want it to look like some metal box that just sits there. So we turned to our Amish craftsmen and now each one is made to look like a sleek, slim fireplace that has no real flames.”

“The peaceful flicker of the Hi-Def ‘Fireless Flame’ is so beau-tiful, everyone thinks it’s real, but it’s totally safe to the touch. All you do is just plug it in,” Martin said.

People from New Mexico to Washington and even Florida and Arizona are flocking to get them because they are finally able to give their central heat a rest during the long, frigid winter ahead.

According to the avalanche of consumer reviews, people absolutely swear by them, repeatedly saying, “it saves money,” “looks beautiful,” and “keeps you warm head to toe, floor to ceiling.” And the word is getting out. That’s why people are clamoring to get them.

But Martin said right now the real problem is making sure the Amish craftsmen can keep up with the looming Christmas rush.

That’s why the Double Coupon expires in two days.

So for readers hoping to get the new Heat Surge for themselves and take care of gifts for others, there is good news.

Together, this Hybrid-Thermic heat technology warms both you and the air around you, taking care of all the cold spots. In fact, it actually produces bone-soothing heat to help you feel good.

This modern marvel uses L.E.D. fl ame technology and just a trickle of electricity and saves you money based on a U.S. average that says it uses only about 9¢ of electricity an hour on the standard setting, yet it produces up to an amazing 4,606 British Thermal Units (BTU’s) on the high setting. But here’s the big surprise. It’s not just a metal box that belongs in a basement. The Heat Surge EV-2 is a showpiece in any room. That’s because

ARRESTED: Chehalis Man Accused of Stabbing Co-Worker, Fleeing to Chehalis Wednesday Morning

By Stephanie Schendel

[email protected]

A 35-year-old Chehalis man was arrested after he allegedly stabbed his co-worker in the neck Wednesday morning at

The Beef Shop on Airport Road.The suspect,

identified by police as Sabi-no Gomez Bar-riga, fled the business just outside Centra-lia shortly after the stabbing at about 11:30 a.m. Wednes-day, according to a news release from the Lewis

County Sheriff ’s Office.The victim was transported

to Providence Centralia Hospi-tal and was in critical condition as of Wednesday afternoon, ac-cording to the release. Law en-forcement searched the area sur-rounding the business and an airplane from Washington State Patrol flew overhead searching for the suspect.

Barriga was detained short-ly after 1 p.m. at the San Juan apartments near downtown

Chehalis after Chehalis po-lice received information that he might be in that area and spotted him getting into a ve-hicle, said Chief Deputy Stacy Brown, spokeswoman for the sheriff ’s office. He was taken to the Lewis County Jail, where detectives awaited the arrival of an interpreter before speaking with him.

Detectives were at The Beef Shop processing the scene and conducting an investigation

Wednesday afternoon, accord-ing to the release.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Barriga had not been officially charged.

Brown said detectives were also waiting for an interpreter to aid in communicating with the victim.

She also said she did not know at this time how many times the victim was stabbed or if there were any witnesses to in-cident.

HARASSED: Mayor Eric Strawn Questions School Policies, Other Parents and Negative Attention in His City

By Kyle Spurr

[email protected]

Tenino Mayor Eric Strawn’s 15-year-old son is recovering this week after he was beaten by a fellow Tenino High School student on Monday and had his two front teeth knocked out.

Strawn said his son was ar-guing back and forth with the other student about the incident

in September when Strawn was accused of having sexual con-tact with a woman inside a city vehicle in Lacey. Strawn did not face any charges for the incident.

“My son wanted to talk to the kid,” Strawn said. “A couple shoves turned into punches.”

Strawn said he met with Tenino High School Principal Brad Ramey and a counselor after the inci-dent. The school administrators

have yet to decide on punish-ment for the boy who allegedly assaulted the mayor’s son.

Strawn said he plans to at-tend the next school board meeting to revisit the school’s policies for bullying, security and the school’s relationship with law enforcement.

“In no way am I trying to bash the school,” Strawn said.

“But there is always room for im-provement. It is a good school, not a great school.”

Strawn is also questioning the negativity in Tenino sur-round his incident in Lacey.

“Why are we still talking about it?” Strawn said. “Maybe

we should talk about the local student that got beaten. Let’s talk about the fallout from it.”

Strawn said students have been making derogatory re-marks and threatening his son, who is a freshmen, about the Lacey incident since it was first reported in September.

However, his son was also bullied in seventh and eighth grade, Strawn added.

His son went to the emer-gency room Monday afternoon following the beating, and had his teeth aligned on Wednesday afternoon. He has another den-tist appointment next week.

Pat’s Patio in Tenino hosted

a fundraiser on Tuesday to help Strawn’s family pay for the med-ical bills, Strawn said.

“It’s a real trying time for my family,” Strawn said.

Inmate Escapes From Prison at Monroe

MONROE (AP) — An in-mate with three months left to serve on his sentence escaped from the mini-mum secu-rity unit at the Monroe Cor-rectional Com-plex.

Corrections officers and lo-cal police are looking for Brandon Musto,

37, who turned up missing at the 9 p.m. Wednesday count.

He apparently went over a fence, although officials are checking video as they inves-tigate exactly how he got out and whether he had any help, spokesman Chad Lewis said.

Searchers believe they know where Musto may be found, but they won’t say publicly so as not to tip him off, Lewis said.

Musto began serving time in September 2011 for a for vehicu-lar assault conviction in Thur-ston County and was scheduled for release in February 2013.

It took a team very much the Bearcats' equal to upend them in the first round of the State 2A girls soccer playoffs on Wednesday night in Chehalis. Klahowya downed W.F. West 2-1 after a shootout went the Eagles way, 5-4. "It seemed like we were playing a spitting image of our-selves," W.F. West coach Tino Sanchez said. "I'm very proud of these group of seniors, they fought hard. This is the best team I've ever coached." Several early opportunities for both teams in the first half showed that W.F. West had an advantage in speed but Kla-howya was particularly talented in passing. In the 30th minute, W.F. West had its best chance to convert before halftime when the goalie cleared out try-ing to track down the ball and a Bearcat put a shot on goal. A defender, however, was there in the nick of time to jump in front

of the ball. Klahowya followed that up seven minutes later with a goal. Krista Stewart sent the ball in the back of the net after a scuf-fle in front of the goal with 2

minutes to go before halftime. W.F. West controlled the second half. The Bearcats had several header shot attempts around the goal, courtesy of Olivia Erskine. The pressure

eventually paid off in the 56th minute as Rashelle Fisher was able to head a ball into the goal, but paid for it by making con-tact with the goalie. "She got hit and the wind knocked out of her," Sanchez said. "You have to take them out if it stops play, but otherwise she wouldn't have come out. All my seniors, you'd have to drag them off the field." W.F. West continued the pressure on the Eagles while goalie Arianne Woodland made some key saves down the stretch. The Bearcats best chance came with seconds on the clock for regulation. A cor-ner kick cross went past Kla-howya's goalie arms right in front of the goal but there wasn't a player for the Bearcats posi-tioned to score. "We were controlling every-thing," Sanchez said. "We just weren't putting it in the net. We just couldn't finish it."

Rochester junior Camryn Althauser was named the SWW 1A League Evergreen Division’s 2012 Girls Soccer MVP, and Napavine senior Josie Dekoker was tabbed the league’s co-De-fensive MVP in a recent voting of the league’s coaches. Althauser and Dekoker were just two highlights as several area teams placed numerous players on the Evergreen 1A Conference All-League teams in football, girls soccer and vol-leyball.

“I was very pleased with all the players that were selected,” Napavine coach Henry Gal-langer said. “The players that were selected deserved it.” Althauser had a produc-tive season with 27 goals and 16 assists en route to the offen-sive MVP award for Rochester. Dekoker was a key piece on Napavine’s march to the state playoffs as a defensive standout. “Josie has been a fantastic player for the past couple years,” Gallanger said. “She deserves to be defensive MVP. If there’s

one thing about Josie, it’s con-sistency. She’s consistently been a good defensive player. That’s a reflection of her four-year ca-reer at Napavine. She’s a leader and defender.” In girls soccer, Rochester’s John Hayes was named the con-ference’s coach of the year after the team went from a sub-.500 record last season to the state playoffs. The Warriors had freshman Joni Lancaster and sophomore Sierra Seymour honored as first-team midfield-ers, and Kaelyn Carew earned

second-team honors as a de-fender. “Multiple coaches said that they thought Joni and Sierra were both 1st-team all-league by far,” Hayes said. “It was pretty unanimous and how well they did play. I was extremely proud of both girls. Napavine had three other first-team players in senior for-ward Rachel Labrasca, sopho-more midfielder Sage Atkins and senior goalkeeper Sami

There's 16 teams in the State 2B playoffs, and five of them from the Central 2B League. Af-ter Saturday, the possibility ex-ists that half of the teams left in the state playoffs will be from the C2BL. That's a testament to the grit and toughness borne of playing in the Central 2B League — per-haps best elucidated by Adna coach K.C. Johnson, whose Pi-rates make their 10th straight state playoff appearance on Fri-day. "It's like getting beat up every week by your brothers," Johnson said. "When it's time to fight in the alley, you're ready to go." The street fighting starts at 7 p.m. Friday night in Randle.

Adna at Morton-White Pass

The Pirates (7-3) are riding a seven-game winning streak, and head east to face the figu-rative immovable object of the 2B ranks in undefeated, No. 1-ranked Morton-White Pass. Do the Timberwolves have a weakness? "No weakness," Johnson said.

"That's one loaded group of ath-letes. They're tough, and not a lot of weaknesses." Morton-White Pass is com-ing off of a bye week, earned by winning the Central 2B League championship. The T-Wolves have outscored their opponents 405-40 this year, with their clos-est game a 27-7 win over Toutle Lake. More importantly, their at full strength, with running back Brian Reynolds fully recovered from a bad ankle sprain suffered two weeks ago in a 33-7 win over Mossyrock. "It was a much-needed week," MWP coach Aaron Poquette said. "This week, we're back up to full speed, and I think we got the rest we needed. Now we're ready to go." Reynolds has run for 1,003 yards this season on 96 carries, with 21 touchdowns. Gianni Bertucci has added 355 yards on 24 carries with eight scores, and quarterback Rylon Kolb has passed for 822 yards and 14 TDs with three interceptions in 63 at-tempts. Johnson's recipe for an upset sounds a bit like the requisites for pulling off an Ocean's 11-style theft. "You've got to play as close to perfect as you can. You can't have turnovers, you can't have mistakes, you can't have penal-ties, you can't give up the big play, because they live off of it," he said. "If you can make 'em earn it, you can keep their scoring down, and you can have a chance — if you can move the football," he added. "They get super aggres-sive when you're in the red zone on 'em. They're just really big, strong and fast."

The election hoopla is over and we can all look forward to watching tele-

vision or browsing Facebook without being bombarded by the eager and often nasty views of opposing forces. I have my own views and my own favorites, but I'm as

likely to want to argue over them as I am likely to enjoy standing on the river bank debating one corky and yarn color's effec-tiveness over

another with a cranky fellow angler. I'd just rather shut up, get in the water, and fish. Politics makes strange bed-fellows (no pun intended), as the saying goes. I hope that we can all come together — even if we don't like each other — and get the work done that we need to do for the betterment of our communities. I have had several interest-ing opportunities in the last few days to watch the wildlife in my own neighborhood work together in harmony. I say if the birds can do it, so can we.

Hummingbirds and Sapsuckers

Anna's Hummingbirds will sometimes choose to stay through our relatively mild western Washington winters instead of moving south with the Rufous Hummingbirds. I spoke to a handful of Chronicle readers last year that had hum-mingbirds at their feeders even during times of snow. I have kept my nectar feeder up, filled and faithfully clean this year, long past the time when my regular Rufous customers had already left for warmer climes. Monday morn-ing I was thrilled to see a young male Anna's Hummingbird at my nectar feeder. Later that afternoon, as I watched a Red-breasted Sap-sucker tap, tap, tapping my walnut tree trunk, I heard a fa-miliar buzzing hum. I watched as my Anna's Hummingbird hovered around the sapsucker, occasionally lighting on a nearby branch, keeping a close watch on the sapsucker. As the sapsucker moved on to a new hole, the humming-bird swooped in to feed from the freshly opened sapwell. I can't see how this particu-lar arrangement is beneficial to the sapsucker, but I have watched the sapsuckers play with young swallows and have read reports detailing their inter-species play. I may be guilty of portraying an errone-ous anthropocentric view, but I'd like to think the young sap-sucker doesn't mind sharing his

bounty with the hummingbird.

Cackling and Snow Geese

Tuesday afternoon I drove by a flock of Cackling Geese grazing on a hillside in Silver Creek and noticed that one of those birds was not like the other — it was an immature Snow Goose. There is no way of know-ing why the Snow Goose was hanging out with the Cackling Geese (the young Snow Goose declined to comment). Perhaps this young fellow got lost on his way south, couldn't find his family and so he picked anoth-er like-minded bunch of birds to help him find his way. Who knows. One thing we do know, however, is that this young

goose finds safety in numbers. As I watched the geese graze, there was quite a bit of squabbling going on between the Cackling Geese, but not one of the birds argued with the young Snow Goose. The Snow Goose was quite a bit larger than the Cackling Geese, so that may have been their reason for polite behavior. Or they may have decided that if danger approached from the air by way of a raptor, the white guy would be the first to go and they could make their escape while he met his doom. Again, who knows.

Flickers and Others

I have often seen Northern Flickers join flocks of European Starlings or American Robins

as they browse through the grasses hunting bugs. Starlings and Robins are, in my opinion, two of the best birds for posting sentries and raising the alarm in case of danger. Whenever I see a flicker in a mixed flock, I figure the flick-ers enjoy feeding without the worry of looking out for danger by themselves. On Wednesday afternoon I had the delightful opportunity to watch a Northern Flicker give a bit back to his help-ful friends, the Robins, when he opened up a fresh apple for a meal, digging deep into the fruity flesh. The Robins stood by, watching and wait-ing. When the Flicker had his fill and flew away, the Robins moved in for a bite — and then a House Finch after that. I would imagine that a Robin is perfectly capable of piercing an apple's skin with his own beak. But isn't it nice that his friend the Flicker was there to do the hard work for him so he could enjoy the sweet flesh inside?

The Month of Thanks

November is the traditional month of thanks giving, a time to remember the gifts we have been given and to share them with others. Let's all take a page from the bird book of behavior and do something nice for someone else today — feed them, watch over them, save them from danger, share a treat.

COMMENTARY: Under the Open Sky

By Kimberly Mason

For The Chronicle

Mark your calendar, the day after Thanksgiving the WDFW has an alternative to Black Friday shopping for holiday discounts. Starting Friday, Nov. 23, anglers will find thousands of "holiday specials" at six lakes in southwest Washington where WDFW will plant each lake with 2,000 rainbow trout averaging 1¼ pounds apiece. All six lakes will be closed to fishing Nov. 19-22, when they will be stocked with hefty trout from the Mossyrock and Gold-endale fish hatcheries. The six lakes scheduled to receive those fish are: Battleground Lake and Klineline Pond in Clark County; Kress Lake in Cowlitz County; Fort Borst Park Pond and South Lewis County Park Pond in Lew-is County; and Rowland Lake in Klickitat County. "If you'd rather be out on the water than shopping in a mall, this fishery is for you," said John Weinheimer, a WDFW fish biol-ogist based in Vancouver. "These big rainbows should provide good fishing for several weeks af-ter the holiday." Chris Donley, WDFW inland fish program manager, called the Black Friday fishery an experi-ment, which could lead to similar events in other parts of the state. The challenge, he said, is finding the hatchery capacity and stock-ing support to make that pos-sible.

Free Movie in Morton

A free preview showing of the movie "Seeking the Greatest Good: The Conservation Legacy of Gifford Pinchot" will be held Nov. 14 at the Roxy Theater in Morton. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., movie starts at 7 p.m. “These screenings will pro-vide a great opportunity for local community members and For-est Service employees to come together and learn a little more about the first American forester and the person for whom this re-markable forest is named,” said Gifford Pinchot National For-est Supervisor, Janine Clayton. “Spending time together sharing and discussing issues and ideas is important to us all.” The Pinchot Institute for Conservation recently completed this new 55-minute movie high-lighting Gifford Pinchot and the conservation/utilitarian ethic he championed. After the movie at all of the showings listed above, there will be opportunity for discussions with Forest Service representa-tives.

Big Game

Modern firearm season for elk continues through Nov. 14. "I've heard of some nice elk taken early in the season," said Charles McElroy, a sporting goods clerk at Sunbird Shop-ping Center. "They've been get-ting them all over in the different areas. A guy brought in a nice 4-point elk just yesterday to show us." Two nice bulls were taken out of the Winston Creek area on opening day, according to re-ports. Hunters are complaining that the woods are crowded and they haven't seen anything but cow elk lately. Hunters using modern fire-arms will get another chance at deer, Nov. 15-18.

“There’s plenty of fish out there,” said McElroy, “just not in the Cowlitz.” There’s fish in the Wy-noochie, the Chehalis and Skookumchuck Rivers, McElroy said, “and they’re all in good shape and should stay that way at least through the weekend.” Plenty of steelhead and silvers are to be found in the Willapa and Naselle. The Grays and Elochomin should be fishable and in good shape soon, if they aren’t already. And the Puy-allup River is still fishing well. Hoodsport is going great guns, fishing for chum salm-on off the beach. “Go in front of the hatch-ery,” McElroy said, “the area is marked, you can’t miss it.” Stray from the marked areas and you’ll call the wrath of the residents on yourself, he said. “Fish the incoming tide. Throw spinners, spoons, jigs under a bobber,” McElroy recommended. “Look for schools finning and cast just ahead of them.” The Cowlitz River seems to be in a bit of a lull. “Fishing is fair,” said Karen Glaser of Barrier Dam Campground, “they still have some silvers coming in, but they aren’t biting well. There are still some fall Chi-nook in the river, but they’re looking pretty dark.” Last week Tacoma Power

recovered 2,168 coho adults, 867 jacks, 450 fall Chinook adults, 30 jacks, 175 sum-mer-run steelhead, 49 cut-throat trout and one chum salmon adult during seven days of operations at the Cowlitz Salmon Hatchery separator. During the past week Tacoma Power employees released 44 coho adults and 19 jacks into Lake Scanewa above Cowlitz Falls Dam at the Day Use Site. They re-leased 28 fall Chinook adults, 34 coho adults and 32 jacks into the upper Cowlitz River at Packwood, and they re-leased 639 coho adults, 458 jacks and one fall Chinook adult into the Cispus River above the mouth of Yellow Jacket Creek. A total of 982 coho adults, 278 jacks, 313 fall Chinook adults, 26 jacks and four cut-throat trout were released into the Tilton River at Gust Backstrom Park in Morton during the week. River flows at Mayfield Dam were 6,660 cfs on Wednesday, water visibility at 12 feet.

Report: Cowlitz in a LullContinued from Sports 3

By Tim Booth

The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Marcus Tru-fant has played in a Super Bowl and a Pro Bowl, and is now in his 10th season with his home-town team.

Yet for all those experiences, one of the most special moments in his football career with the Seattle Seahawks will come this weekend when he takes the field against his younger brother Isa-iah of the New York Jets, and af-ter youngest brother Desmond, a senior at Washington, plays on the same field the night before.

Three brothers, all playing the same position, two of which are already in the NFL with a third very likely to join the pro-fessional ranks next season.

And this weekend, all three will take their places on the turf at CenturyLink Field in a span of less than 24 hours. On Sat-urday night, Desmond will play the final home game of his col-lege career when the Huskies host Utah. About 14 hours after the youngest Trufant walks off the field, Isaiah’s Jets will face Marcus’ Seahawks.

There is no guarantee any of the three will be playing in the NFL next season. Desmond will likely be an upper-round draft pick when April comes around, but Marcus and Isaiah both have contracts that expire at the end of the 2012 season.

So while this weekend doesn’t feature all three in the same game, being on the same

field just a few hours apart will be cherished by the entire Tru-fant clan, especially their par-ents Lloyd and Constance. The half-Marcus, half-Isaiah jerseys have already been made for Sunday, but only after everyone breaks out their No. 6 Washing-ton jerseys for Desmond on Sat-urday night.

“It’ll be a big day for us,” Des-mond said. “(I’m) proud of my brothers, what they’re doing and we’ve got to keep it going as a family, keep producing, keep doing good things.”

In many ways, the Trufant name is near the top of the foot-ball hierarchy in Washington state. All three were prep stars in nearby Tacoma, all three were standouts at state universities and all three beam with pride about their roots.

They have touched every level of football in the state of Washington. The three were prep standouts at Wilson High School in Tacoma. Marcus was a star at Washington State, Isaiah at Eastern Washington and Des-mond now at Washington.

Marcus has spent his entire NFL career with Seattle. Isaiah started his pro career playing in-door football in Spokane before being the UFL defensive player of the year in 2010 with Las Ve-gas that helped earn his chance in the NFL, making up for be-ing the shortest of the trio at just 5-foot-8.

“Growing up, he was the guy I always looked up to and wanted to be like,” Isaiah said. “Before

any professional athlete, it was always big bro trying to do what he does and trying to be like him. Even though I was a smaller guy, I would strive to be successful like he was. I’m just grateful to be able to play against him on a professional level.”

Marcus was the prototype for the family. Lean and quick, with the size at nearly 6-foot tall and ability to be physical at the line. He was an all-everything in college at Washington State and is now going on a decade as part of the Seahawks secondary.

Desmond is Marcus 2.0. The same height. The same build. But perhaps with more natural talent and knack for the position than his oldest brother.

In the middle is Isaiah, who fit none of the molds typically cast for NFL cornerbacks and doesn’t have the college pedigree of his brothers, yet has found a niche after working his way up through the lowest levels of pro football to get his shot in the NFL. His brothers say Isaiah is the best athlete of the three, yet took the longest road to finally reach the NFL.

Three brothers, one swath of turf, one memorable weekend for the Trufant family.

“It’s just a blessing for us all to be playing football at a high level and doing what we grew up loving to do and doing what we wanted to do as adults,” Isa-iah said. “Little bro, Lord will-ing, he’s well on his way to doing what he loves to do also at a pro-fessional level.”

If you say something wrong, it could be very dificult to eradicate.

Morton-White Pass beat Adna 48-6 in back on Sept. 8, but the Pirates —  who started the season 0-3 — have done a bit of growing up since then. "I do know we'll show up, and we'll play a lot harder and a lot better than the last time we met them, and that's all we can ask," he said. "I'm probably as proud of this group as any group I've had in Adna. Just how we've handled it throughout the year has been wonderful." The MWP staff was on hand Friday in Naselle to see Adna's back-and-forth 32-22 win. "They're playing on a whole different level," Poquette said.

"They've got a lot of confidence. They're feeling good about themselves, and understandably so. We understand they're going to be ready to play, so we'd better bring our 'A' game as well." Johnson has a reputation for invoking a bit of trickery in big games. The Pirate coach de-clined to offer any possibilities for Friday, understandably, but Poquette quickly acknowledged Johnson's imaginative play-call-ing. "We're as prepared as we can be. I'm not going to say we've seen it all, because I don't be-lieve that for a second," Poquette said with a laugh. "They've only got so many eligible guys on the field, and we've got to get those guys covered wherever they go."

Napavine vs. Raymond

The Seagulls opened the season with nonleague losses to Tenino (26-7) and Charles Wright (26-14), both of which were playoff teams in the 1A ranks. Since then, they've won six straight, including a 26-0 win over Willapa Valley to seal the Pacific 2B League champi-onship and a bye in the district crossover round. The Tigers, meanwhile, worked through a host of mid-season injuries and are back at full strength just in time to face speedy Raymond on Aberdeen's Stewart Field turf. Quarterback Darol Ratsavongsy (6-foot, 200 pounds) leads the Gulls' offense, with Carte Bisbee providing speed at wide receiver. "Our goal is to eliminate the running lanes with our size, and try to keep things bottled up in-side," Napavine coach Josh Fay said. "We've got some big, strong kids in there, and the key for us is can we win the war at the line of scrimmage. If we can, I think we can be very successful. "If we can't, then they're go-ing to have some running lanes, and we're going to be chasing

some guys." Raymond runs an offense based off of Wing-T principles, similar to what Wahkiakum and Toutle Lake run. "It'll definitely be a better speed than what we've seen," Fay said, "but the concepts aren't anything new to the kids." The playoffs are also noth-ing new to the Tigers. Lineman Brad Garnas and running back Layne Hellem, both of whom are seniors, will be playing in their eighth state playoff game Saturday, while a handful of the Tigers' starting juniors will be in their sixth such contest. "This is where we always plan on being, and fortunately we've had some luck getting to that point," Fay said. "I think it's a big advantage for us to have been there and know what to expect." Napavine and Raymond kick off at 7 p.m. in Aberdeen Satur-day night.

Mossyrock vs. Concrete

The Vikings (6-4) take on Concrete's 8-2 Lions on Mariner High School's turf field in Ever-ett, which will be the first time anyone on the Mossyrock roster has played for real on an artifi-cial surface. It's that kind of week for Mossyrock, which finished fifth in the Central 2B League stand-ings and yet, with a win, can be one of eight teams in the state still playing. "It was our goal to make the state playoffs," Viking coach Curt Spahn said. "We set five team goals, and that was one of them. We got there, so the kids are really excited." On the other side of the field will be Concrete, which fin-ished second to La Conner in the Northwest Conference and has outscored its opponents 355-153 this season. The Lions are coached by Ron Rood, who has led the program since the 1980s. Concrete runs a double-wing offense, with plenty of complexi-ties built in over Rood's long ten-ure. "It's going to be interesting to see if we can stop them, and that offense," Spahn said. "I think it's going to come down to our de-fense. I we can slow them down, we'll get the win, so I'm kind of playing with a couple different fronts, and looking at different things to throw at them." The Vikings and Lions kick off at 1:30 Saturday afternoon at Mariner's Goddard Stadium. Note: Wahkiakum, which finished second in the C2BL with an 8-1 record, will face La Conner (9-1) at Mount Vernon on Saturday with a 7 p.m. game time.

Football: Tigers, Viks on TurfContinued from Sports 1

Taylor all earned top honors. Labrasca has had 11 goals so far this season with six assists . Sage Atkins had six goals and five as-sists. “Rachel was a player who played defense for the past couple year before we moved her to for-ward and she’s really stepped up and put the ball in the back of the net when we needed it,” Gal-langer said. “Sage is like a conduit for us. She’s an anchor in the midfield. And I personally be-lieved that Sami was one of the better goalkeepers this year and apparently everyone agreed.” Taylor had 86 saves against 117 shots, and had five shutouts during the season. She has a 1.43 goals against average so far this season. In their first year of existence, the Adna Pirates’ had several representatives on the all-league team. Regyn Gaffney earned first-team honors and with one game to go in the season, has collected 28 goals. “She’s the fastest by far,” Adna coach Juli Aselton said. “You just can’t make up for speed on someone like that. It was also

very rare for her to come out of the game. She’s played in every game we’ve had so far but she’s also learning more things all the time like passing outside and getting a good shot ratio.” Freshman Melyssa Nocis was also named to the first-team as a defender. Fellow Freshman Ken-dra Stajduhar made it as a mid-fielder. Stajduhar had 11 goals and 11 assists on the season. “Melyssa covers a lot of ground for us, she makes run up the field for us,” Aselton said.

“Melyssa is pretty strong and our whole back line does very well. She has some good speed too.

Football

Six different players from local high school teams earned first-team honors in football. Tenino had five players after they advanced to the district playoffs for the second-straight year. Rochester senior Tyler Yar-ber was named as a first-team running back for the Warriors. “He definitely means a lot to us running and receiving the football,” Rochester coach Chris Barnes said. “He’s kind of a do-it-all kid, when the football

is in his hand he can do a lot of things.” Yarber finished with 1,043 rushing yards and nine touch-downs. He had 23 catches for 480 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He passed for an-other two touchdowns. Tenino’s prolific offense so plenty of players honored start-ing at quarterback. Mac Shaw was named the first-team all-league quarterback. His favor-ite target, Devante Harris was named first-team at wide receiv-er and also at defensive back. Offensive Lineman Ben Pe-terson got first-team honors for the Beavers. On defense, Jacob Haliburton was also named to the first-team as a defensive lineman as did Zack Chamber-lain at linebacker.

Volleyball

Rochester senior Brittney Orkney earned first-team honors in volleyball. Tenino sophomore Erin Engebreth was named to the second team. Note: See Scoreboard on page S6 for complete football, volleyball and soccer All-League lists.

The teams battled in two 5-minute overtime periods but couldn’t score, forc-ing a penalty kick shootout. Meghan Ward, Erskine, Ali Rose and Julia Carter all put home their kicks but Kla-howya blocked two penalty shots to win the game. “It’s disappointing for the girls, we really wanted to have a banner hanging from the rafters this season,” Sanchez said. “But the girls did their best. They gave it their all. They’re great kids, just awe-some to work with.” Both teams had 14 shots on goal, while Klahowya held a 5-3 edge in corner kicks. W.F West finished the sea-son with a 17-2 record, after winning both the Evergreen 2A Conference and District 4 championships.

U-Prep Ends Rochester’s Season

SAMMAMISH — Roch-ester’s turnaround season came to an end here on Tues-day night with a 10-0 loss to

University Prep in the 1A state playoffs. The Warriors came into the game with a nine-match winning streak but fell behind 4-0 in the first half en route to the loss. “That’s the best girls team I’ve ever see play at the high school level,” Rochester coach John Hayes said of University Prep. “They had three or four excellent players that knocked the ball around and con-trolled it well.” Hayes was pleased with the effort of his squad in the matchup. The team will re-turn the SWW 1A League Evergreen Division Offensive MVP Camryn Althauser next year and a plethora of other young, talented players. “I’m very proud of them to turn it around from last year to be a below .500 team to 12-4 and winning districts,” Hayes said. “I think the team is heading in an extremely positive way. We’re a young team.”

Adna Gets Revenge on Ocosta

ADNA — After rain and an injury to star player Regyn

Gaffney hamstrung Adna in a 2-1 loss to Ocosta on Nov. 30, the Pirates made sure Ocosta didn’t get the upper hand the second time around in 2B girls soccer action. Adna won here on Monday night 2-0 with Gaffney getting both goals and the Pirates notched 25 shots on goal. “For the team it was good,” Adna coach Juli Aselton said. “We played really well together. Nine different girls had shots on goal. The score doesn’t show how many shots we had.” Gaffney scored in the 27th minute of the first half, and then again with less than three minutes to go before halftime. The Pirates held onto the 2-0 advantage in the second half to get revenge on the Ocosta team that had pre-viously defeated them. “I wish we could replay that first game,” Aselton said.

“We showed tonight that we could definitely possess the ball against them.” Adna will play in its fi-nal game of the season at Napavine tonight.

John Minchillo / The Associated Press

New York Jets’ Mark Sanchez looks to throw during the irst half of an NFL football game Sunday, Oct. 28, 2012 in

East Rutherford, N.J.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Take the decibel level of a NASCAR race. Combine it with the sound at a heavy metal concert.

That’s what CenturyLink Field can sound like for a Se-ahawks game.

And that’s what the New York Jets are preparing for on Sunday.

So coach Rex Ryan had the speakers turned up to max vol-ume and a staffer pumped in music — anything from West Side Connection’s “Gangsta Nation” to “Get Right” by Jen-nifer Lopez — to create the loudest environment possible during practice.

That practice was held in-doors Wednesday because of a snowstorm, but made sense under any weather conditions because it’s the closest way to simulate what the Jets will face in Seattle; Ryan calls it “a hos-tile environment” where “the fans are over the top.”

He meant it as a compli-ment.

“Notoriously, this is a tough place to play,” Ryan said.

“When you think of an indoor-type atmosphere, it’s kind of like the noise level that you get there, even though it’s an out-door stadium. But that doesn’t make a difference.”

Ryan mentioned the high number of false starts by visit-ing offenses at Seattle as a tan-gible example of the Seahawks’ home-field advantage. The Giants once had 11 of them, turning coach Tom Cough-lin’s face more crimson than usual.

The NFL once sent out a memo about complaints of artificial sound being added to amplify crowd noise at the Seahawks’ stadium — some-thing that seems ludicrous considering the pitch at which the fans shout.

Most memorable on the sound meter, perhaps, was Marshawn Lynch’s stunning 67-yard TD run in the 2010 wild-card playoff game on which he broke a half-dozen Saints tackles. The cheering on that play registered as a minor tremor on local seismic equipment.

“It’s awesome. We definitely use it to our advantage,” said former Jets running back-kick returner Leon Washington, now a Seahawk. “We’ve led the

league the last five years in false starts on the opposing team. The energy the fans bring to the stadium is so loud.

“When I’m about to do a kickoff return, I can feel the energy the fans are giving me. It’s awesome playing here. We know when opponents come here to play us it’s going to be a tough task for them to get a win. We definitely use it to our advantage.”

Indeed, the Seahawks (5-4) are 4-0 at home this year, al-beit one victory was that in-famous 14-12 win over Green Bay that marked the end of the replacement officials in Week 3. They are in the midst of the NFC wild-card chase, although catching San Francisco (6-2) in the AFC West might be too much of a chore.

New York is 3-5 and desper-ate for a victory to get back into the AFC race.

Even opposing defensive players notice the difficulty of playing in Seattle. Although the crowd quiets down when the Seahawks have the ball, it’s not exactly like a library. And when the defenders are trying to meet on the sideline while their of-fense has the ball, well, it can be fruitless.

Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie was happy that Ryan had music blaring inside the practice facility, calling it “very helpful” to get acclimated.

“In a place that loud,” he said, “communication has to be good,

verbal and non-verbal.”Facing the biggest challenge

in that area will be quarterback Mark Sanchez, his blockers and receivers. It’s hard being on the same page when the book is shaking from reverberating noise.

Sanchez has never played at Seattle — the Jets lost 13-3 in their only visit to Century-Link Field — but has been fore-warned by teammates who have, as well as friends around the league. That he will be facing his college coach at Southern California, Pete Carroll, only adds more spice to the matchup.

“It’s the loudest stadium in the league,” tight end Dustin Keller said. “Just a tough place to play.”

MEAN GREEN: The Word “Circus” is Often Attached to The New York Jets

By Larry Stone

The Seattle Times

One day after Barack Obama’s inauguration in January 2009, Rex Ryan was introduced as the new coach of the New York Jets, promising his own version of hope and change.

Squinting into the bright lights, Ryan made a brash landing in the Big Apple: “First off, with all the cameras and all that, I was looking for our new president back there. You know, I think we’ll get to meet him the next couple years, anyway.”

And so it began, the most bois-terous regime on the New York sports scene since, perhaps, the Billy Martin Yankees: With a sly but unmistakable reference to an oval-office ceremony after a Su-per Bowl title.

Four years later, the Jets are still awaiting for that elusive championship. But as the Jets prepare for their first trip to Se-attle since 2008 under Ryan’s pre-decessor, Eric Mangini, the Jets’ soap opera is unabated.

In fact, the hype has reached hyperspeed this season with the acquisition of Tim Tebow, the most closely chronicled reserve in NFL history. In preseason camp, each New York newspaper assigned a writer just to follow Tebow. Eight games into what so far has been a hugely disappoint-ing season for the Jets, he has yet to make a significant impact, yet the question still hangs in the air constantly: When will Ryan dump Mark Sanchez and give Tebow a shot?

After a bye week, Ryan is sticking with Sanchez against the Seahawks as the 3-5 Jets try to keep their waning playoff hopes alive. Asked in a conference call Wednesday if it’s difficult to thrive in an atmosphere where every Sanchez incompletion leads to an outcry for Tebow, Ryan re-plied, “You know what? I don’t hear very well, so it doesn’t bother me at all.”

The Jets have provided nearly nonstop white noise under Ryan, achieving one goal, which was to get themselves heard above the din of a crowded New York sports scene. But the question being asked increasingly as the Jets face a second straight season out of the playoffs is whether a focus on captivating the tabloids has come at the expense of building a deep, cohesive team.

That question is even more pertinent when juxtaposed against the success of the Giants,

who last year won the Super Bowl — and got to meet the president — for the second time in five years.

Before Tebow, the Jets traded for Brett Favre and Santonio Holmes, and signed flashy players like Jason Taylor (fresh off his ap-pearance on “Dancing With the Stars”), LaDainian Tomlinson and Plaxico Burress.

They flaunted their brand on HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” all inter-spersed with frequent New York Post-worthy back-page eruptions. Like the female reporter who was allegedly harassed at a prac-tice. Like the inappropriate text messages and photos Favre was alleged to have sent to a female sideline reporter. Like Ryan’s $50,000 fine by the team after he was caught on a cellphone cam-era making an obscene gesture to a fan at a mixed martial arts competition. Like the nationwide smirks when Ryan’s wife was identified in foot-fetish videos on the Internet.

And that’s just the tip of the hypeberg. It’s little wonder that the word “circus” is often at-tached to the Jets.

“I’ve got to believe there’s plen-ty of stuff that goes on with every team,” Jets center Nick Mangold said. “We’re just fortunate that we’re here in the New York mar-ket and things kind of get blown up.”

One upside is that the interest in the franchise has rarely been more frenetic, perhaps not since the Joe Namath days. Seahawks running back Leon Washington got to see the transition first hand in 2009, his last of four seasons with the Jets.

“Our fans are passionate about our team,” Washington said.

“But it seems like the fans there feel like they own the team, and they can say whatever they want. Which is fine. That’s what the fans are for.

“The media attention is a little different. For example, the media might ask you, ‘Hey, Leon, why did you fumble the ball?’ Versus out here in Seattle, it’s ‘What hap-pened on that play?’ A little more direct (in New York).”

Does he miss that edge? “Not really. I feel our fan base is a lot better.”

Through it all, Ryan has main-tained his reputation as a players’ coach, perhaps even to a fault.

“From the moment Rex en-tered this building, he’s always had the players’ backs,” Mangold said. “As a player, you really ap-preciate that. You want to go out and not disappoint him or prove him wrong. Guys keep fighting and working, and at some point it’s going to pay off.”

Perhaps even with a meeting with the president.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Cornerback Walter Thur-mond has been activated from the physically unable to per-form list to the active roster of the Seattle Seahawks, com-pleting his return from two fractures in his lower left leg.

The Seahawks made the move Wednesday.

Seattle had a roster spot open after releasing wide re-ceiver Charly Martin on Tues-day. Martin was re-signed to the practice squad Wednesday.

Thurmond was first in-jured last season against Cleveland when he suffered a broken fibula and significant ankle damage. During his rehabilitation early last year, Thurmond suffered another fracture setting back his re-covery. He began practicing two weeks ago.

Thurmond has started four games and played in 19 com-bined in his first two NFL sea-sons.

GROUNDED: Washington’s Sankey Tries to Finish First in Everything He Does, a Lesson He Learned From His Father

By Steve Kelley

The Seattle Times

Early Sunday evening, they gather inside the Dempsey In-door to stretch stiff muscles and slowly expel the hurt and the lactic acid from their last foot-ball game.

This light, night-after workout is part yoga class, part therapy ses-sion and part ritual cathar-sis. It is a post-game necessity for every foot-ball team’s re-covery process.

And at the end of the evening, the Washington coaches line up their players and evaluate their conditioning. The players run

“gassers,” wind sprints from one side of the practice field to the other.

It is a competition more than it is calisthenics and almost ev-ery Sunday, the fastest and fit-test Husky is running back Bish-op Sankey.

Last Sunday, less than 48 hours after he carried the ball 29 times in a victory at California, Sankey won every gasser. He ran back and forth across the field with his father’s encouraging voice somewhere inside his head.

“I feel like that desire to be first in every conditioning sprint was something that was instilled in me coming up as a child and now as a grown man,” Sankey said after practice Wednesday morning. “It started way back when at Little League practice.

“We would always run a lap before practice, and one of the things my dad taught me was al-

ways try to be first in that lap. So I always try to be first in what-ever I do.”

Sankey’s rise this season has been one of the best stories in the Huskies’ uneven run toward a bowl game. He came into this season as a backup tailback. The idea was to have Jesse Callier do all of the grinding, inside-the-tackles work and Sankey would be the change-of-pace back, running on the perimeter.

Jesse Callier: Mr. Inside. Bishop Sankey: Mr. Outside.

But then the Huskies lost Callier for the season to an in-jury and the bulk of the Wash-ington running attack fell to the slight sophomore Sankey, who would be running behind an injury-riddled line. There were concerns that his body wouldn’t hold up to the punishment.

Those concerns seem silly now. Sankey survived 29 carries last week. He gained 189 yards. He carried 20 times against Stanford and 25 times against Oregon State.

He is averaging 95 yards after nine games and leads the team with 11 touchdowns, including

two each in the recent victories over OSU and Cal.

“I don’t know if I would have thought, coming into the season, we could have said that Bishop Sankey could carry the ball 30 times a game,” UW coach Steve Sarkisian said. “I didn’t know if he was built that way.”

But there is Sankey, at 5 feet 10 and maybe 200 pounds, fear-lessly hitting holes hard, taking on linebackers, ricocheting off safeties, running over corners, doing a more-than-fair imita-tion of record-setting back Chris Polk, now with the Philadelphia Eagles.

“I learned what it takes to be a running back at the college level from Chris,” Sankey said. “I

watched how he ran and how he ran with authority and stepped out of tackles and how he could turn the jets on when he was out on the perimeter. Coming up under him last year, I tried to take bits and pieces from him and then add them to my reper-toire.”

Washington expected San-key to be a spread, shotgun-for-mation runner, taking advan-tage of his speed. But Sankey ran a lot between the tackles from the wildcat formation at Gonza-ga Prep, and he has looked com-fortable sticking his face mask into the mosh pit in the middle of the line.

“We’ve found out that he’s ac-tually better when he’s behind

the quarterback in the I-forma-tion,” Sarkisian said. “Some of his biggest carries have come between the tackles, not on the perimeter. There’s still plenty of room for improvement for him, but he’s got an unbelievable work ethic.”

Sankey is a quiet, humble kid. He looks his inquisitors in the eye. He’s a yes-sir, yes-ma’am, kid. And he is thoughtful with his answers. He’s the kind of athlete you can recruit and then never worry about him when he arrives on campus.

“My dad has been the most influential person in my life,” Sankey said of his father Chris, a tech sergeant at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane. “He taught me the value of hard work and how to be first in ev-erything you do. I was coached up by him in Little League, and I think my discipline is a reflec-tion of what I was taught grow-ing up.”

This is how you do it. The way Bishop Sankey does it. Hard work. No shortcuts. Outrun-ning the athlete next to you.

Check his numbers. It works.

By Carrina Stanton

For The Chronicle

There’s a very deliberate reason why the band that plays with Seth Martin is called The Menders.

The musicians he teams with on his travels through the country come from a variety of locations and reli-gious and political views. And the ven-ues where they play are just as varied. But it’s the music that Martin believes can bring them all together.

“Things are so broken around us that anything that helps us localize, anything that helps us makes one of those breaks get mended is worth cel-ebrating,” Martin said. “We try to use music to provide a floor on which peo-ple can reconnect.”

After touring the United States six times, Martin, 29, returns to his hometown of Toledo this weekend with a show of Americana music fea-turing both his band as well as music from friend and mentor Bill Mallonee.

Though he has played many local shows, Martin said this weekend’s show at Toledo’s Daily Grind will be his first public event in Toledo. He said he was waiting for a suitable venue to open in his hometown but he has also spent several years really honing his craft as well as finding an appreciation

for his roots, which has brought him back home.

“I’ve kind of come full circle here,” Martin said of Toledo.

The oldest of eight children, Mar-tin said the roots of his music go back to his parents, Joseph and Susan Mar-tin.

His father, who has been pastor of Toledo First Baptist Church for more than 30 years, is a bluegrass musician who plays guitar and banjo. His moth-er plays piano and accordion. Martin said all eight siblings ended up being strongly into sports or music, or both.

“We were home schooled and there were instruments all over the house and we just played with them all the time,” Martin recalled. “I haven’t had much formal training. Most of it is just folk process.”

The folk, bluegrass and mountain and church hymnal music Martin grew up with feature heavily in his music today. His music is also remi-niscent of folk musicians such as Cat Stevens and Bill Jolliff, in whom he became interested while in college in Oregon.

Locally he said he is influenced by friends Adam Sweeney and Noah Gundersen as well as the Portland band Medicine for the People. He most accurately describes his music

as community music, meaning music that is meant to be played for a small audience and which encourages audi-ence participation.

“The dynamic of the song builds as the audience learns it,” Martin ex-plained.

For the last three years Martin has spent about half of each year in Korea

teaching English. During the sum-mers he tours the nation with The Menders, a loosely knit group of about 30-40 musicians who will join the tour for a time, or just play in their area. At any given time he’s usually playing with one to three band members.

This summer, for example, his

touring band comprised a bass player from Michigan, banjo and mandolin players from Georgia and a fiddler from Pennsylvania.

He said the many potential band members range from very, very religious to non-religious, from very politi-cally conserva-tive to very po-litically liberal but it is the mu-sic that brings them together and binds them together.

“It’s not a nor-mal band, but because there’s so many people in it it’s more of a reflection of a true community band,” Martin said.

The Menders play small shows in a variety of venues. By

design, Martin said, one day they may play for a conservative Christian church congregation while the next they may be at a backyard political gathering,

and next be moving on to a farm collective or tribal reser-vation. Mar-tin said the myriad ven-ues they play is intentional because all of the band members believe there is a healing property to their mu-sic that can

show people how similar they are.

“What’s happening with the music just might be more im-portant than the words,” Martin said.

Because of listener generos-ity during a fundraiser earlier this year, local Christian radio stations KACS and KACW were able to contribute $3,200 to Love INC, which helped them launch a bed-ding supplies fund for children.

Another KACS-KACW fun-draiser was held Oct. 24-25, bringing in 92 percent of its goal of $88,000.

Should the radio stations reach that goal through ongoing

contributions, they again will be able to make contributions to lo-cal charities. For information or to donate, call 740-9436.

Love INC is now conducting a drive for gently-used furniture or bedding. Donations of fire-wood also are being sought for its winter firewood fuel service for low-income families.

TODAY IN LEWIS COUNTY-AREA HISTORY

The Lesson of the Angry Traveling Salesman and the Cussing Teamster

THE LONG VIEW�

An Unvarnished View of Chehalis

By Robert Kennicott

For The Chronicle

I never should have left kin-dergarten. While there, in spite of a few slaps, scratches and hair-pulling, I kept my dignity quite well. Thank God they got me out of kin-dy before my voice changed and I had to shave.

Sadly, I was thrown to wolves in the first grade, getting off to a bad start by learning how to fight. It was years before I discovered that hitting boys in the fist with my nose wasn’t the winning move. My nose was one of my most outstanding fea-tures; in fact it stood out quite a distance from the rest of my face which should have given me a clue before it was too late. Every boy and half the girls at West Side School could beat me into

submission, but do you think for one moment that this both-ered me in the least? You know damned well it did. Secretly, I’ve been a Casper Milquetoast all of my life.

I did, however, have a won-derful first-grade teacher, Miss Halpin, who made me feel quite at home with the younger set in my class. One day during recess as we were playing games in the grove of fir trees that stood on the school grounds on West Street, one girl took off her fuzzy coat and threw it on the ground. Another girl grabbed my arm and said she wanted to show me something and proceeded to take me over to the coat and pointed out that it was covered with lice. Being a doctor’s son, I thought it was my God-given duty to tell the teacher that we were about to be invaded. While we were watching in awe, the girl came over, snatched up the coat from the ground and stalked off, her head held high. I never saw the girl or coat from that day forward.

One bright Sunday morning I walked with my mother to the Presbyterian Church. For some reason we went up Chehalis Av-enue, then up Boistfort Street to Market. We were on the corner when one hind wheel of a wagon load of coal broke through the planking. The teamster, yelling and swearing, beat the horses unmercifully but the poor crea-tures could not pull the wheel out of the hole. A well-dressed drummer (traveling salesman) came across from the hotel, reached up and jerked the driver off the wagon, gave him a couple of hard slaps across the face, made a few remarks about his parentage and said, “I’ll help you this time, but if I ever catch you abusing horses like that again I’ll kill you. Now get back up there and drive when I tell you to.”

The drummer then carefully placed his newly lit cigar on the sidewalk, took off his fedora and jacket, laying them beside it, and got behind the obstructed wheel. Reaching down, he grabbed a

spoke in both hands and yell-ing at the driver, lifted mightily. With a crack of the whip the team lunged forward and the wheel rose from the hole.

I never did get much Chris-tianity through my posterior on the hard church pew that day, but this episode taught me a les-son I never forgot.

Robert Kennicott was born in Chehalis in 1904. During the Great Depression he bought 120 acres above town on what is now known as Kennicott Hill, later expanding his holdings to 587 acres on which he raised hogs, sheep and cattle. Before he died in 1990, he gave his memoirs to Jan Pierson, an author who spent 25 years living in Chehalis. She has compiled Kennicott’s stories into a new book, “Prohibition, Prostitution and Presbyterian Pews,” which is be-ing published this autumn. For more information visit www.calamityjan.com.

1890 — Tramps Warned to Leave Town

During this week in Novem-ber 1890, tramps were urged to leave Centralia.

“It is said that, within a day or two, unless this class of peo-ple stand not upon the order of their going, but ‘get up and go,’ that some severe measures will be adopted toward ridding the community of that class of peo-ple who make bright eyes grow bright at their coming and still brighter at their departure,” The Centralia Weekly News wrote.

“One woman has signified her willingness to donate a feath-erbed and tar will not be want-ing to help make the suit our people will present these hobos, thieves and thugs in the near future. The first man caught in any act of depredation, such as frightening defenseless women, ‘hanging up’ a citizen or pilfer-ing rooms can just make up his mind that life is not worth liv-ing, for he will be dealt with in a summary manner, and the city will not have to bear the expense of a trial.”

1906 — Pe Ell Shooting Linked to Hatfield and McCoy Feud“Excitement was high” in Pe

Ell and there was talk of a lynch-ing after a drunken Virginian shot a well-known pioneer Pe Ell resident during a drunken rage.

Harve Craton and two other men tried to get the 25-30 rifle away from the drunken George Trent, but Trent shot off sev-eral rounds. One bullet went through Cranton’s chest and punctured his lungs. Trent was jailed and guards were placed at the jail and around town to prevent him from being lynched. Cranton’s friends took a hand railcar to Chehalis to bring in an expert doctor, but he died the next day.

The shooting was apparently linked to the famous Southern feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys.

1931 — Churches Preach PeaceChehalis churches were

holding special services the Sun-day before Armistice Day “em-phasizing the blessings of peace,” The Daily Chronicle reported. At the First Baptist Church, act-ing minister John L. Magoon gave an address entitled, “Cease Firing; or the Ideal Peace Pro-gram.” The Rev. J.C. Tourtellot at the Westminster Presbyterian Church gave a talk called “Mus-tard Gas or Mustard Seed?”

1956 — Centralia Touts Is Excellent Sewage ServicePassing motorists on the new

freeway would now know ex-actly what Centralia was good for: excellent sewage service and abundant water.

Workmen were finishing up the installation of a large neon

sign proudly sitting atop Cen-tralia’s modern sewage treat-ment plant next to the highway Pacific Highway at Mellen Street. Under a large “CENTRALIA” sign, a rotating sign proclaimed

“Modern Sewage Treatment,” while the other emphasized,

“Pure Abundant Water.”It cost the city $170 a month

to rent the sign.

1960 —Olympic School Opened

The new Olympic Elemen-tary School was opened in south Chehalis during National Edu-cation Week.

For $344,716, eight school rooms were constructed. Walter Hotsko was the school principal. He had been the old West Grade School principal from 1939 to 1951, and vice principal at Cas-cade School until he moved to the new school.

Paul Tornow, school board chairman, was the master of cer-emonies for the grand opening.

Fifth grade teachers were Mrs. Jeaneva Boettcher, Mrs. Bonnie Egbert, James Gillard Jr., Mrs. Elizabeth Saindon and Mrs. Marion Williams. Mrs. Jean Bluhm, Mrs. Marilyn Pettit and Mrs. Marguerite Shuman, were the fourth grade instruc-tors.

1981 — New Bethel Church Rising Near Napavine

Volunteer workers were help-ing build the new Bethel Assem-bly of God Church on Kirkland Road, near the freeway at the Napavine interchange.

The church’s current loca-tion on Main Street in Chehalis were so small that the congrega-tion was holding double Sunday morning worship services for the past three years to handle the average attendance of 400.

The Rev. Don Brown was pastor as the church built its new facility. It had sold its pres-ent church to Lewis County government for use as a men-tal health center. Most of the $372,000 purchase price was coming from a state fund for the handicapped.

2000 — Plane Finally ID’d in Vietnam

After 28 years of uncertainty, the plane flown by U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Roderick B. Lester, Mor-ton native, was positively identi-fied in a Vietnamese crash site. Danny Beauchamp, a classmate with Lester in Officer Candidate School, voiced his frustration in the delay of identifying the site.

“This site has been known about since 1994, and the failure, for whatever reason, to allow this unknown factor to remain does a continuing disservice to a wonderful Morton family,” Beauchamp said.

Angela Meade, Opera Star From Centralia, to Perform at Corbet

Distinguished Alumnus Award recipient and opera star Angela Meade is returning to Centralia College for a benefit concert on Saturday, Dec. 22. Meade will perform on the Cor-bet Theatre stage beginning at 2 p.m.

Meade is a 1998 Centralia College graduate and a rising star in the world of opera. She won the Beverly Sills Artist Award for young singers and the Richard Tucker Award, awarded to an American singer poised on the edge of a major national and international career.

Meade, at age 34, was the youngest person to receive the college’s recognition. She is a

native of Centralia who didn’t discover opera until she was a Centralia College.

From Centralia College, Meade went on to Pacific Lu-theran University to develop her singing talent. After earning her master’s at the University of Southern California, Meade was accepted into the Academy of Arts in Philadelphia.

The benefit concert she will perform at Centralia College will honor her mother, Deborah, who succumbed to cancer this past year. The net proceeds will benefit music scholarships at Centralia College.

ADVICE: Dear Abby

DEAR ABBY: As Veterans Day approaches, may I share a few guidelines that can be help-ful when interacting with veter-ans or service members? 1. It is never OK to ask a veteran if he or she has killed someone or to joke about it. If we have, we can’t even talk about it with our spouses, much less a stranger. 2. When you thank us for our service or pay for our meal, it is really appreciated. We also ap-preciate packages and notes. 3. Please don’t tell us that wars are a waste of dollars or lives or were fought for oil. What

we hear is that, in your opinion, our best friend died for nothing. We know many people disagree with war, but it’s better to keep your opinions to yourself. 4. Many of us now have PTSD. If you see us acting anxious or moving away from crowds, turning our backs to the wall or fidgeting, simple kind-ness or a little distraction will be appreciated. Talk to us about something interesting and give us some breathing room. 5. Please remember that 15 percent of those who serve in the military are women, and some have been in combat. It’s bet-ter to ask, “Are you a veteran?” rather than, “Was your husband a soldier?” 6. As with any person who has a disability, please do not

stare at us. We can be sensitive about our scars or injuries and would prefer not to be asked to relive a difficult experience by being quizzed about what hap-pened. Please also understand that war injuries today are very different than in the past and are often not visible. It is not OK to tell someone they “don’t look disabled” or appear to need help. Those of us with disabilities appreciate light conversation and assistance if we look like we are in need. It was my pleasure to serve our country. — AMANDA C., U.S. ARMY DISABLED VET-ERAN DEAR AMANDA C.: Thank you for your service. And thank you, too, for your helpful sug-gestions, which are sure to be

appreciated not only by civilians, but also by active and retired members of our military. Readers, as the war in Af-ghanistan winds down, many thousands of service members are returning home and entering the job market. Please, if pos-sible, honor their courage, dedi-cation and sacrifice by doing your part and providing them with employment. Considering what they have done for us, it is the least we can do to show our appreciation. DEAR ABBY: I’m afraid I’m an abusive girlfriend. When I get mad at my boyfriend, I yell at him and call him names. Some-times I hit him. Even though he really makes me angry, I do love him.

I’m not crazy, but I don’t know how to control myself. It’s not like I’m threatening to kill him. I don’t want to go to counsel-ing or group classes. I don’t real-ly hit him a lot. I yell more. I also have jealousy issues. What can I do? — PROBLEM GIRLFRIEND DEAR GIRLFRIEND: Your concern is justified, because you ARE an abusive girlfriend. While I applaud your growing self-awareness, it is very impor-tant that you understand the reasons you are behaving this way so you can stop. While you may not like the idea of counsel-ing or group anger management classes, it would be much better if you went voluntarily rather than one day having them court-mandated.

Akron Beacon Journal

I had decidedly low expecta-tions for “Wedding Band,” TBS’ latest attempt at original com-edy. The network’s previous efforts have been pretty tepid. In fact, there have been more laughs in some of the dramas on its sister network, TNT.

But “Wedding Band,” which premieres at 10 p.m. EST Satur-day, proved much funnier than expected, a demented and adult show reminiscent of ABC’s

“Happy Endings.” And there are some insane musical turns, such as the glockenspiel-and-cello duet on “West End Girls.”

The series focuses on the four guys in a Seattle wedding band called Mother of the Bride. Tommy (Brian Austin Green) is the group’s Peter Pan, single and showing no interest in grow-ing up even if he’s looking older. The clearest contrast to Tommy is his friend and bandmate Ed-die (Peter Cambor), who is married — with children — to a police detective who keeps wondering when Eddie is going

to give up playing in the band in order to focus on parenting and his day job. Eddie’s brother Bar-ry (Derek Miller) is at once the group’s goofball and its visual visionary — the sort who fig-ures out how to make an arena-style light show work in a party center. Then there’s Stevie (Har-old Perrineau), by far the most experienced and accomplished musician in the group, but also its newest member.

Along with the band, there are the people around them, such as Tommy’s wife, Ingrid (Kathryn Fiore); events planner Rutherford (Melora Hardin), whose patronage would give Mother of the Bride more and better work, and Rachel (Jenny Wade), an associate of Ruther-ford’s, and someone who has history with Tommy. Outside that circle are still more friends, clients, rival musicians and oth-ers to fill out the crowded and sometimes complicated sto-rylines the show uses to fill each hour.

Yes, it’s an hourlong comedy. TBS says “Wedding Band” is

“equal parts comedy and heart,”

although it’s much more com-edy — and wedding-friendly music including covers (either in brief bits or full songs) of the likes of “Hot in Herre,” “Don’t You Forget About Me,” “YMCA” and — a noticeable mistake —

“Lust for Life.”I did like the way the show

keeps its characters from veer-ing into caricature, a credit both to the writing and the acting. I was especially surprised, and pleased, by the presence of Per-rineau, well known for “Lost” and being a very scary criminal in the current season of “Sons of Anarchy”; he is going to find the truth in any character he plays. Hardin, who was so vividly fun-ny on “The Office,” has another fun character to work with. There also seems to be some significant dipping into the old

“Veronica Mars” stock company, with players popping up as guest stars in the two “Wedding Band” episodes I have seen.

“Wedding Band” ends up feeling like “Mother of the Bride” itself; it may not be great, but it’s good at times — and deserves an encore or two.
