LUCKY EAGLE: Sheriff ’s Office Says Man Refused Command to Drop Weapon
By Natalie Johnson
The Lewis County Sheriff ’s Office will lead a regional team of law enforcement agencies in the investigation of a fatal of-ficer-involved shooting Tuesday night at Lucky Eagle Casino in Rochester.
According to a release from the Thur-ston County Sheriff ’s Office, at 7:45 p.m.
Tuesday Thurston County deputies were dispatched to a request for a welfare check in the area of U.S. Highway 12 and Ander-son Road Southwest near Rochester after receiving a report from a family member
RESOLUTION APPROVED: Sponsors of Dam Select Expandable Version of Water Retention Facility as Preferred Option
By Justyna Tomtas
The board of supervisors for the Chehalis Basin Flood Con-trol Zone District approved a resolution on Wednesday that selected its preferred alterna-tive of a proposed dam on the Chehalis River near Pe Ell.
The unanimous decision identified the expandable ver-sion of a dam as the favored approach moving forward and gave authority to the district administrator to submit a pur-pose and need statement to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
FBI INVOLVED: Prosecutor Expects Approximately 40 Charges for 16-Year-Old Who Was Taken Into Custody Tuesday
By Natalie Johnson
A 16-year-old Chehalis boy is being accused of extorting vic-tims — including classmates at W.F. West High School — with nude and sexually explicit pic-tures after a lengthy investiga-tion by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and local police agencies.
The boy made his first ap-
pearance in Lewis County Ju-venile Court on charges of first-degree dealing in depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, first-degree possession of such images, and second-degree extortion on Tuesday morning.
However, Lewis County Prosecutor Jonathan Meyer
on Tuesday filed a notice of the state’s intent to ask for the suspect to be “declined” in Ju-venile Court. He would then likely be charged as an adult in Lewis County Superior Court, rather than as a minor in Juve-nile Court, which put off his arraignment — a hearing to ac-knowledge his charges and enter
a plea — until a later date.“We anticipate the charges
will number at approximately 40,” Prosecutor Jonathan Meyer said Tuesday.
He explained that his office is awaiting the full 92-page re-port on the FBI’s investigation,

Centralia College to Honor Onalaska School District’s Commitment to Higher Education
Onalaska Day will be cel-ebrated at Centralia College Thursday.
On June 8, the Centralia College Board of Trustees rec-ognized the 2017 graduates of Onalaska High School with an unanimous motion that sched-uled the day of recognition to take place during the fall quarter.
All 43 members of the high school’s graduating class of 2017 were accepted to two- or four-year colleges, according to a press release from the college. Thirty-eight of those students commit-ted to attending college this fall.
“It’s quite an accomplishment for a school district to have such a high percentage of students ap-plying for college immediately after graduation,” Centralia Col-lege President Bob Mohrbacher said in the release. “Research proves the value of higher educa-tion. Students who go on to com-plete career and technical train-ing programs or earn a college degree benefit from greater fi-nancial stability and job security. All of these directly impact fami-lies and communities. I applaud the efforts the Onalaska School District has taken to ensure its students succeed long after they’ve graduated high school.”
Staff and faculty members at Centralia College will be asked to wear the Loggers’ colors of purple or gold, as well as buttons that state, “It’s a great day to be a Logger at Centralia College.”
College trustees and admin-istrators will hand out free cof-fee and donuts in the morning. The clock tower is also set to glow purple in honor of the re-cent graduates.
The trustees will acknowl-edge the event at their board meeting that same day.

ANTHONY S. FOXWORTH:
Sentencing Scheduled for Nov. 1; Prosecutor to Recommend 4-Year Sentence
By Natalie Johnson
One of two people charged last December after a 16-year-old boy was found weighing 54 pounds with neglect-related medical conditions entered a guilty plea in the case Wednes-day.
Anthony S. Foxworth, 45, of Centralia pleaded guilty as charged in Lewis County Supe-rior Court to one count of first-degree criminal mistreatment, domestic violence.
His sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 1. Prosecutors and Foxworth’s defense attorney, Chris Baum, plan to ask for a 51-month sentence, just over four years in prison.
“He’s decided to take the deal,” Baum said. “I don’t think he likes it.”
However, Baum said he ad-vised his client that if the case went to a jury Foxworth would have a difficult path to a not-guilty ruling, and that the pros-ecutor’s office would likely add aggravating factors to his charge, which would have meant a longer prison sentence if he was con-victed.
Foxworth’s wife, Mary G. Foxworth, was also charged in the case with first-degree crimi-nal mistreatment. She is sched-uled to enter a guilty plea Mon-day with sentencing to follow Nov. 1.
Both Foxworths are currently out of police custody.
According to court docu-ments, Mary and Anthony Fox-worth were accused of causing
“great bodily harm” to one of the children in their care between January 2007 and January 2016.
Law enforcement became aware of the case in early 2016
after the Foxworths took the child to Northwest Pediatrics near closing time, reporting the boy hadn’t eaten or had anything to drink for three weeks and had abdominal pain.
Medical staff reported to po-lice that the 16-year-old boy was extremely thin and small for his age, was very pale and did not speak. They assumed his age to be 8 to 10 based on his size, and specialists later determined his skeletal development to be close to that of a 13-year-old.
Doctors described the boy as
“acutely ill” and transferred him to Providence Centralia Hospi-tal, then Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, according to court doc-uments.
Doctors at Mary Bridge de-termined the boy weighed 54 pounds, was missing patches of hair, could not stand and could not open his mouth far enough for a doctor to check his throat. He had 24 teeth in need of cav-ity repair, root canals, crowns or extraction.
“Wow. Where do I start? This is a very sad story for this very
precious child,” a Mary Bridge doctor is quoted as saying in court documents.
He was diagnosed with se-vere malnutrition, severe con-stipation, an intestinal blockage, anemia and neglect. A doctor also diagnosed him as having
“psychosocial dwarfism,” a syn-drome linked to neglect, accord-ing to court documents.
Investigators learned the boy hadn’t been to a doctor since 2007 and hadn’t gone to school since 2011.
Two other children in the
Foxworths’ care at the time were in good physical condition and enrolled in school, according to court documents.
The Foxworths initially de-nied any wrongdoing, saying the boy was starving himself be-cause he was depressed.
In the first year after being removed from the Foxworths’ care, the boy reportedly gained 93 pounds and 3.25 inches and learned to take part in numerous social activities for the first time with his foster family.

Missing Chehalis Woman Found SafeBy The Chronicle
A 92-year-old woman who went missing from a Chehalis assisted living home sometime early Wednesday morning has been found safe, according to the Chehalis Police Department.
Hilda Wenz was found at 11:17 a.m. at a church at the cor-
ner of North-west West Street and Northwest Rhode Island Place. She was cold but oth-erwise in good health.
“The Che-halis Police De-partment would like to extend their apprecia-
tion to everyone who assisted in the search for Hilda,” a press re-lease from the department stated.
She was reported missing af-ter being last seen at midnight at the Chehalis West Retire-ment Center in the 400 block of Northwest Quincy Place.
When staff attempted to check on Wenz at 8 a.m. Wednesday, she was nowhere to be found, according to the police department.
The department issued a Silver Alert for the 4-foot, 10-inch woman. Wenz has no mobility issues and can walk unassisted.
“Hilda is unfamiliar with the area so we are asking residents to look around their yards and outbuildings,” according to a re-
lease from the police department before she was found.
Victim Still in Serious Condition After Chehalis StabbingBy The Chronicle
A 17-year-old boy stabbed in the chest after a dispute in Chehalis Thursday is still in the hospital in serious condition, ac-cording to the Chehalis Police Department.
The boy was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for emergency sur-gery after the incident Oct. 5 in the parking lot of the Chehalis Walmart.
Jose F. Chagolla-Flores, 18, was charged Monday with first-degree assault in the case and is being held on $500,000 bail. His next court appearance is sched-uled for Thursday.

Pop-Up George Washington Museum Coming to Pop Up HUBBUB By The Chronicle
A “pop up” museum focusing on Centralia Founder George Washington will be in the Wil-son Hotel in downtown Centra-lia Oct. 19-22.
It will feature a timeline of Washington’s life including his trip from Virginia to Washing-ton, how he met and married his wife Mary Jane, how he founded the town and how he helped the
people of this region. “You will learn more about

Temporary Overpass Will be Used for One Year as Permanent Bridge Is Constructed
By The Chronicle
Contractors working to re-place the Chamber Way overpass in Chehalis are getting ready to hit a big milestone next week with the installation of girders on a temporary bridge alongside the damaged overpass, accord-ing to the Washington State De-partment of Transportation.
Both directions of Interstate 5 will be diverted around the work zone starting at 11 p.m. Monday and ending 5 a.m. Tuesday. The Chamber Way overpass itself will be closed from 9 p.m. Mon-day to 5 a.m. Tuesday, said Bart Treece, communications director for WSDOT’s Southwest Region.
“This is for safety,” he said. WSDOT’s contractor for
the overpass replacement proj-ect, Quigg Bros. Inc., proposed
building a temporary bridge over the Interstate just to the north of the existing overpass.
After the installation of the girders on Monday, contrac-tors will install the bridge deck, Treece said.
Once completed later this fall, traffic will be diverted over the temporary bridge as crews rebuild the permanent overpass, which is on schedule to be com-pleted in Fall 2018.
The Chamber Way overpass has been struck by passing over-size vehicles many times in the past 10 years, but was most seri-ously damaged in July 2016 when a truck carrying excavators head-ing southbound damaged a por-tion of the overpass beyond repair.
Days later, WSDOT demol-ished the damaged span and re-placed it with a temporary metal bridge which is still in place today.

The Lewis County Sheriff ’s Office is planning on referring a Toledo man to prosecutors for a felony assault charge after he al-legedly tried to hit a woman with his truck.
The suspect, Jason R. Stanley,
44, of Toledo, has not yet been located. The sheriff ’s office plans to recommend a charge of first-degree assault.
According to the sheriff ’s of-fice, deputies responded at 10:05 a.m. Monday to the 4100 block of Jackson Highway after receiving a report of the incident.
The alleged victim, a 33-year-old woman, reported that the suspect, an ex, was waiting for her on Jackson Highway as she walked back to her residence from a store, according to the sheriff ’s office.
She crossed the road to avoid him, but he followed her. At
some point, the suspect allegedly got into his truck and drove in the woman’s direction, swerving at her and hitting her in the back of the shoulder with the truck’s side mirror.
The woman declined medical attention but had red marks on the area, according to the sher-
iff ’s office. A witness confirmed the
woman’s account, as did tread marks on the side of the road, Chief Deputy Dusty Breen said.
The sheriff ’s office is plan-ning on referring Stanley for charges unless he is located and arrested first.

Washing-ton Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed a lawsuit Mon-day in federal court to block the Trump Ad-ministration’s new rules “un-dermining” women’s access
to contraception, according to a
release from his office.The Trump Administration’s
new rules would allow any com-pany to deny health insurance coverage for contraceptive ser-vices for female employees on religious grounds. Certain orga-nizations would also be allowed to deny the coverage “on moral grounds,” according to the At-torney General’s Office.
“If allowed to go forward, President Trump’s rules could have a significant impact on the more than 1.5 million Wash-
ington workers and their de-pendents who receive insur-ance through their employer’s self-funded plan,” states a press release from the Attorney Gen-eral’s Office. “One study by the Center for American Progress found that contraception costs can generally exceed $1,000 a year without insurance coverage.”
Women in Washington could turn to state-funded programs to receive the care they need, according to the Attorney Gen-eral’s Office. State-funded repro-
ductive health programs served more than 90,000 patients in 2016.
“President Trump’s contra-ception rules are unfair, unlaw-ful and unconstitutional,” Fergu-son said in a statement. “I refuse to let President Trump disregard our laws and our constitution in an effort to deny women access to contraception.”
Ferguson’s lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington and argues that the rules violat-
ed the Affordable Care Act, the Civil Rights Act and the Admin-istrative Procedure Act.
A release from the Attorney General’s Office also argues that the Trump Administration’s new directive violates the First Amendment of the Constitution by “requiring individuals to bear the burdens of religions to which they do not belong,” and violates the “equal protection guarantee” in the Fifth Amendment because it is a gender-based rule that will affect women disproportionately.

Centralia Timberland Library to Host Haunted HouseBy The Chronicle
The Centralia Timberland Li-brary will host a haunted house organized by local teens from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28.
All ages are welcome, but pa-rental discretion is advised. For safety reasons, groups of five or six people will walk through the 114-year-old library at a time.
"What do I hope others will experience at the event? Absolute terror! Just kidding... but maybe not," teen volunteer Kayla D. said in a press release. "... Every day I've been able to come in and help work on the Haunted Library, whether it be planning our scene or crafting eerie ghosts heads out of tape or even just making foam chains for hours, I leave feeling so excited for the actual event.”
She added she can’t wait to see the final project.
“You never know how many people around you are evil ge-niuses until you're doing an event like this and suddenly everyone has these really creepy ideas they get to make and perform them-selves,” the teen said in a press re-lease. “So, really, I just can't wait to see the whole thing finally come to life after all the prepara-tion we've put in.”
Scouts, Caspar Babypants Preparing for Carnival at Mount St. HelensBy The Chronicle
The Science and Learning Center at Coldwater will soon play host to at least one inspired Boy Scout counterpart and assorted revelers for the Carnival of Colors.
The family-friendly event will take place on Sunday from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. The Carnival of Colors will begin with the cer-emonial installation of a 30-foot flagpole by 16-year Boy Scout Quinten Comus, of Troop 520 in Newberg, Oregon. Comus is working toward his Eagle Scout certification by focusing on im-provement projects aimed to help turn the Science and Learning
Center at Coldwater, which was built in 1993, into an overnight education center. In addition to the permanent flagpole installa-tion, Cosmus plans to build two wheelchair-accessible changing rooms, paint the 14,000 square foot building and update the fire evacuation signage.
Entertainment at the Carnival of Colors will include a musical performance by Caspar Baby-pants, better known as Chris Ballew of the band The Presidents of the United States. Other festivi-ties will include face-painting, art workshops with a biologist and artist extraordinaire, traveling OMSI exhibits, craft projects and carnival games such bean bag toss, paper airplane target toss, and pumpkin ring toss.
Tickets to the Carnival of Colors cost $10 in advance or $15 at the door on the day of the event. Reduced price tickets are available for low-income families.
The event is being organized by the Mount St. Helens Institute and the U.S. Forest Service. Ad-ditional information, including ticket purchasing information and a full schedule of events, can be found online at www.mshslc.org/events/#carnivalofcolors.
Train Show and Swap Meet on Track for Fairgrounds and Historical MuseumBy The Chronicle

Have Thoughts on State’s Pay-by-Mile Pilot Project? There’s a Meeting Next Week By The Chronicle
Next week, the state Trans-portation Commission will dis-cuss the road usage charge pilot project and plans to name a sec-tion of state Route 507 in honor of a soldier who was killed in Iraq.
The commission will have two meetings, each beginning at 8:30 a.m., on Tuesday, Oct. 17, and Wednesday, Oct. 18, at the Transportation Building on the Capitol Campus in Olympia. The physical address is 310 Ma-ple Park Ave. SE.
Both meetings are open to the public. Comment periods are at 11:45 a.m. on Tuesday and 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
On Tuesday morning, the commission will be briefed on and discuss the road usage charge pilot project set to launch early next year. Under the proj-
ect, drivers would be charged per-mile for use of state roads. It is under consideration as a re-placement for the gas tax, which officials say is not raising enough revenue to pay for road mainte-nance due to more efficient cars.
The project will engage 2,000 volunteers in the state to test the concept and shape how it might work.
With planning underway, the commission will also hear about the public attitudes toward the project and the volunteer re-cruitment process. Other discus-sions will focus on reporting op-tions, activities of other partners in the pilot project and the draft evaluation plan.
During the Tuesday meeting, the commission will also take action on a proposal initiated by the city of Rainier to name the portion of state Route 507 within the city limits after Rainier High School graduate Sgt. Justin D. Norton, who was killed in Iraq.
On Wednesday morning, the state Department of Transporta-tion’s Toll Division will report on the 2017 fiscal year traffic and revenue for each tolled facility as well as progress toward meeting legislative benchmarks for toll operations and efficiency.
The meeting will end with an update by a commission work-group formed to assess options for providing long-term relief for the toll payers at the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The Legislature asked the commission to deliver its prioritized policy solutions by
December this year. For more information or to

WEST CONSULTANTS: Port Will Continue to Mitigate Flood Concerns as Project Progresses; Fred Meyer Eyed as Tenant
By Justyna Tomtas
As the Centralia Station proj-ect moves forward, the Port of Centralia has addressed con-cerns about flooding presented by citizens, stating the port hired some of the best consultants throughout the process to en-sure the new 43-acre multi-use development did not exacerbate flooding.
“The bottom line is the port has approached this cautiously,” Kyle Heaton, executive director of the port, told The Chronicle.
“We’ve invested a considerable amount of money, and private investors are looking to invest a considerable amount of money. No one would do that if there wasn’t a way to mitigate flood concerns.”
Molly Lawrence, with the law firm Van Ness Feldman, said the port hired WEST Consultants,
“a highly qualified technical con-sultant,” to model the effects of the development on flood risks in Centralia and the surround-ing areas.
Lawrence’s specialty over the last 10 years includes helping clients address changes in regu-lations affecting development within floodplains.
“The port appreciates and un-derstands the community’s con-cern regarding potential flood risk from development in the Chehalis Basin, including Cen-tralia Station,” Lawrence said in an email. “…WEST consultants found that Centralia Station can be developed without increasing flood risk in the Chehalis Basin and without increasing flood risk to the town or surrounding areas.”
The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s existing
floodplains are dated, according to Lawrence, and do not reflect the current landscape in regard to hydrology or physical changes such as highway improvements and new buildings.
To address that, WEST used a model that incorporated the most up-to-date and best avail-able data and methodologies. That included input from the hydrologic engineering team that worked on the Chehalis Basin Environmental Impact Statement to evaluate the effects of Centralia Station. The model, according to Lawrence, includes the recent work completed on Interstate 5 by the state’s depart-ment of transportation to reduce flooding, as well as the changes to the highway at Mellen Street.
The work to address flood-ing concerns will continue as
the project progresses. The port has constructed two stormwa-ter ponds near the future site of Centralia Station.
“Modeling and calculations will be ongoing as Powell Devel-opment refines its site plan for the proposed Fred Meyer devel-opment,” she said. “However, lo-cal residents can be assured that any refinements to the site plan will be reviewed to ensure that they will not increase potential flood risk in the Chehalis Basin or create flood risk to the town or surrounding areas.”
Heaton said the port has worked with the state Depart-ment of Ecology, the city of Cen-tralia and the Chehalis River Ba-sin Flood Authority, which ran the matter by their consultants.
“At the end of the day, we have to look at the capital investment going down there,” he said. “That wouldn’t occur if we didn’t con-sider the problem. The bottom line is it can be done responsibly, and the port is approaching it responsibly as we did on Galvin Road, and we have a track record of success.”
Following the floods in 2007, WEST worked with the Flood Authority to develop the Che-
halis River Basin Early Flood Warning System.
In September, the port an-nounced the Federal Highway Administration approved a new ramp off the Mellen Street Inter-change 5 overpass.
It was the last permit needed before construction planning for the development, which is eye-ing Fred Meyer as its anchor ten-ant and will also include smaller storefronts, businesses and of-fices.
The port partnered with Powell Development in March of this year after interviewing at least six developers for Centralia Station.
Back in March, Peter Powell, CEO and founder of Powell De-velopment, said the Fred Meyer would be a 172,000-square-foot store and would include a full fuel center, a drive thru-pharma-cy and a garden center.
According to the report from ECONorthwest last year, the $53 million construction phase of the project would require 410 full-time employees and support 575 jobs throughout the local econo-my, adding $26.4 million to local labor income. The construction period was estimated to con-tribute $4.6 million in state and local taxes. The construction is expected to trigger additional local spending, according to the forecast, which would result in a one-time impact of $76.3 million.
Once the complex opened, the report estimated it would employ 535 people in Centra-lia at the businesses, which ECONorthwest predicted at the time would include 10 stores, four restaurants, a bank and a gas station, totaling $118 million in annual sales, according to the report. Centralia Station would earn an estimated $118 million in annual sales and pay almost $7.1 million in state and local taxes, according to the report. In the first 10 years of operation, Centralia Station would pay the present year equivalent of nearly $5 million in property taxes, ac-cording to the report.
Port Says ‘Cautious Approach’ to Planning Addresses Flood Risk at Centralia Station

OTHER NEWS: Board Now Has Opening After Heather Stewart Resigns; New Member Must Be Appointed by Lewis County Commissioners
By Justyna Tomtas
During a meeting of the Lew-is County Public Facilities Dis-trict on Tuesday, the board re-ceived an update on refinancing its bond, although a final figure is still not available.
According to Todd Chaput, chairman of the board, an attor-ney is still currently working on the bond changes, which could generate between $1.7 million and $2.4 million in additional revenue for the district that over-sees the Northwest Sports Hub
in Centralia.During the most recent leg-
islative session, Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill that allows the tax-ing districts to rebond for an ad-ditional 15 years and restructure existing loans to bring in new capital.
During the Association of Washington State Public Fa-cilities Districts board meeting, Chaput was informed that the state now requires a review pro-cess prior to the approval of a bond.
“They can’t deny the process, but the stamp of approval is re-quired to continue the process of issuing bonds,” he said.
The downside is it could ex-tend the time period for when the district will get its bond pro-cessed.
The bond for the county’s PFD is different from many oth-ers in the state because those in-
clude property management and employment, items the Lewis County PFD does not have to deal with.
Chaput said bonding against the 2016 revenues from the tax rebate in a flat-rated bond is probably the best way to go, al-though ultimately it will be up to the board to decide how to pro-ceed.
The PFD is currently under-going an accountability audit for 2014, 2015 and 2016. The board approved paying a bill of $1,486 so far for the audit, although Chaput said that number will likely increase by another $5,000 before the audit is completed.
The board also received an update on the tourism promo-tion area and the sports commis-sion, which is a subcommittee of the PFD.
According to Candy Hallom, the PFD representative on the
sports commission, Dale Pul-lin was elected chairman of the commission, Scott Chamberlain was elected vice chair and Hal-lom will be the treasurer and sec-retary.
The sports commission is looking to bring on an admin-istrative assistant that can help with tasks.
Funded through the tourism promotion area that initiated a $2 nightly tax on hotels and mo-tels in Centralia and Chehalis, the sports commission’s goal is to market and promote area ven-ues such as the Northwest Sports Hub to bring in large scale tour-naments.
So far, the tourism promo-tion area has brought in about $90,000 in funding.
“We want to wait until Janu-ary to build up the money in our account,” Hallom said about hir-ing an administrative assistant.
The PFD is also currently re-searching naming rights for the Northwest Sports Hub, which could help generate additional revenue. Hallom said she is following a similar process in Franklin County to see who they are able to recruit.
The PFD will also be looking for a new board member after Heather Stewart resigned from her position due to conflicts with her schedule. The PFD board is appointed by the Board of Lewis County Commissioners.
“Ideally, we’ll move this as quickly as possible because it is a dynamic time,” Chaput said.
“We do have a lot going on es-pecially with the new bond and new projects to work on.”
The PFD meets at 10 a.m. on the second Tuesday of every month. Meetings are generally held at the Holiday Inn Express, 730 Liberty Place, Chehalis.
LEWIS COUNTY SUPERIOR
COURT: $250,000 Bail Set After Alleged Threat With Knife Over Groceries
By Natalie Johnson
John C. Baker, owner of Cen-tralia’s effectively abandoned Greenwood Memorial Park, has had a troubled decade since the cemetery sexton was charged with threatening a woman with a gun in 2007.
On Tuesday, he was arrested on the same charge — second-degree assault with a deadly weapon — after alleged threats with a knife following an argu-ment over groceries.
“I plead innocent,” Baker said in court Wednesday.
Although he will not have an opportunity to formally enter a plea in the case until next week, Baker protested his innocence.
“I can’t even envision it,” he
said. Baker, 74, of Centralia, made
his first appearance on the charge Wednesday in Lewis County Superior Court.
Deputy Prosecutor Sarah Beigh, noting Baker’s previous conviction for second-degree
assault and a lengthy history of run-ins with law enforcement, asked for $250,000 bail.
“Mr. Baker has a lot of history,” Beigh said. “This would be a sec-ond strike.”
Baker was convicted in the 2007 second-degree assault
case. He has also been accused of stealing from the cemetery’s endowment fund, violating anti-harassment orders, misde-meanor assault, trespassing and stalking. He technically owns Greenwood cemetery but is pro-hibited from entering its grounds through a court order, leading the Washington State Funeral and Cemetery Board to declare it abandoned in 2015.
Defense attorney Rachael Tiller asked for a reduced bail amount, noting that Baker has not had a criminal conviction in four years, but Superior Court Judge Joely O’Rourke granted the state’s request out of a con-cern for community safety.
However, in July Baker was arrested by the Centralia Police Department on a misdemeanor assault charge after allegedly punching his roommate in the arm over a dispute about soda.
In the incident leading to his most recent charges, officers from the Centralia Police De-partment responded Tuesday to a report of an assault in the 200
block of East Chestnut Street, ac-cording to court documents.
The alleged victim told po-lice he rents Baker a room in the home he owns. He said “Baker is constantly threatening to do him harm,” according to court docu-ments.
The man reported he re-turned to the home with grocer-ies Tuesday and told Baker to stay away from his food. Baker then allegedly became angry and threatened to hurt the victim.
The victim told police he “told Baker to go ahead and do it,” and said Baker came at him with a large knife. The victim re-ported he believed Baker would stab him.
Another resident of the home witnessed the incident, accord-ing to court documents.
Baker reportedly did not comment on the alleged assault to officers but led them to the knife, wedged in a tree outside the home.
Baker was appointed an at-torney. His next court hearing is scheduled for Oct. 19.
ONE LEWIS COUNTY: Political Action Committee Now Up to Date With PDC, According to Chamber Director
By Justyna Tomtas
A complaint filed with the state Public Disclosure Commis-sion in September alleges that One Lewis County, a political action committee seeking to ini-tiate the home rule charter pro-cess, failed to register within two weeks of forming and did not disclose its financial statement in a timely manner.
John VerValen filed the complaint and later expanded it, claiming the relationship be-tween the Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce and One Lewis County violates the “spirit of the law where government is only allowed to give a one-time for or against statement to an election issue,” because chamber members include members of other governmental agencies.
“The incestuous relationship between the Chamber of Com-merce and the PAC known as One Lewis County blurs the lines between both entities and with Alicia Bull in her own words on the Chamber website saying that we and we’ve meaning the cham-ber members have started this movement to form the PAC she has illustrated that there is no difference between the Chamber and this PAC but in name only,” states the complaint.
VerValen told The Chronicle that although the PAC released its financial statement since the complaint was filed, he does not believe it is complete.
“They haven’t been able to fol-low a single law when forming this committee,” he said. “If they can’t do the simplest thing which is the PDC stuff, how are we, the citizens of Lewis County, ex-pected to realize they know what they are talking about?”
In a response to the PDC
violations, Bull, the executive di-rector of the chamber, said steps have been taken to correct the is-sues.
After receiving the complaint, a PDC specialist was hired to take over the reporting process.
“We are excited to have him and the PDC staff to help guide us through the paperwork and reporting side of things,” Bull said in an email. “We will make every effort to ensure we are in compliance with applicable reg-ulations.”
Bull said the error was made because the reporting require-ments were thought to take place on a quarterly basis, but the group later found out it was monthly.
“The complaint alerted us to this, and we have now completed all required filings and are up to date with the PDC,” Bull said.
As for the relationship be-tween the chamber and One Lewis County, Bull said docu-mentation was provided to the PDC that shows no errors were made as alleged.
“As we have heard from sev-eral people with experience run-ning PACs, it is not unusual to have a learning curve on report-ing early in the process since it can be confusing to learn the correct documentation and re-quirements for filing,” Bull said.
“In fact, the complainant in this case, Mr. VerValen, has also been found in violation of PDC rules. He was fined $200 for his viola-tion, of which $175 was suspend-ed if he corrected the errors.”
According to Bull, VerValen has called chamber members
“stating untruths regarding our organization.” Last week, the chamber hired an attorney who sent a cease and desist letter to VerValen.
VerValen told The Chronicle that adding a county manager, which is one of the main mis-sions of initiating the home rule charter process, adds another layer of bureaucracy.
One Lewis County is cur-rently gathering signatures in an effort to initiate the home rule
charter process in Lewis County. Bull estimated a few hundred signatures had been collected earlier this week. The total num-ber required is expected to be around 3,000, but it depends on the turnout in the upcoming November election. If successful, freeholders would be elected to draw up a proposed charter for voters’ approval.
One Lewis County’s chief goal is to require a manager or executive for Lewis County gov-ernment. Lewis County commis-sioners said this week they would consider reorganizing staff to create a position similar to a man-ager. A task force they appointed to analyze county government after community discussions on the home rule charter began ear-lier this year determined the com-missioners should hire a manager by January.
One Lewis County cites poor fiscal management, continued lawsuits and a lack of leadership and incompetent management by the commissioners as its rea-sons for pursuing a home rule charter.

DECISION: Danny Wing Could Withdraw Guilty Plea After Appeal of Sentence for 2014 Homicide By Abuse
By Natalie Johnson
Danny Wing, who along with his wife pleaded guilty in 2015 and was sentenced to 34 years in prison for the death of 3-year-old Jasper Henderling-Warner, is back in Lewis County for hear-ings to determine whether he will withdraw his guilty plea due to a Washington State Court of Appeals decision.
Wing made his first appear-ance Tuesday morning in Lewis County Superior Court since the appeals court overturned his sentence early this year and
ruled that he could withdraw his guilty pleas based on an er-ror in calculat-ing his offender score, a number used to deter-mine sentencing ranges.
He’ll be back in court at 2 p.m.
Friday. Lewis County Prosecutor
Jonathan Meyer said that hear-ing will determine a deadline for when Wing needs to decide whether he will withdraw his guilty pleas to first-degree man-slaughter and third-degree as-sault or proceed to sentencing.
Meyer said Wing is arguing that he has a year to make up his mind.
In March, Wing told The Chronicle he no longer accept-
ed blame in the toddler’s death and said he planned to pursue a defense arguing that the boy received injuries from another person.
According to court docu-ments and their own statements, Danny and Brenda Wing had taken in Henderling-Warner along with their own children more than two months before he died in October 2014.
An autopsy found that he had abuse-related injuries that were weeks and months old, and con-cluded that his primary cause of death was “chronic battered child syndrome,” according to court documents.
Both Danny and Brenda Wing pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and third-degree assault in the boy’s death, detailing their abuse of the boy — including beatings and scalding with hot water leading to open
wounds and a systemic MRSA infection — and were sentenced to 34 years in prison after the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Of-fice argued that they violated the terms of an agreement for a lesser sentence by giving false statements, particularly about why they abused the boy.
Both Wings appealed their sentences. Several months after ruling in Danny Wing’s case, the appeals court issued an identical ruling for Brenda Wing, saying that the prosecutor’s office in-correctly calculated the offender score on the third-degree assault charge, the lesser offense.
The prosecutor’s office coun-tered that the shorter sentence for third-degree assault was es-sentially absorbed by the longer 34-year sentence for first-degree manslaughter and that the er-ror had no negative effect on the Wings. However, the appeals
court ruled both had the right to withdraw pleas to both charges.
When interviewed by The Chronicle earlier this year, Dan-ny Wing did not directly answer if he planned to withdraw his guilty plea, saying he wanted to wait for the conclusion of anoth-er appeal he filed with the state.
“We may not even need to reach that,” he said of the plea withdrawal.
Wing told The Chronicle in a letter received in March that he was focusing more on a personal restraint petition with the Wash-ington state Court of Appeals for Division II Nov. 9, 2016, asking the court to dismiss his case, al-leging that calls with his defense counsel and related to his de-fense were “illegally” monitored by the Lewis County Jail.
The Court of Appeals has not yet ruled on that case.
TECH HUB: New Technology Company Hoping to Relocate to Centralia Applies for TransAlta Grant
By Graham Perednia
Centralia could be the home of the newly formed Canna-Cloud Technologies company as it prepares to launch by the end of the month.
The owner says it could bring up to 30 family wage jobs to the city.
According to CEO and founder Anakka Hartwell, the company is seeking applicants for positions ranging from a cook to security guards and clerical staff to junior and senior software developers. She added the lowest paid position would be $15 an hour and the develop-ers would make $45,000 a year and up.
The company develops soft-ware that allow businesses to pay excise taxes for controlled sub-stances such as cannabis prod-ucts, alcohol or tobacco, Hart-well said. It is the mechanism that allows the sellers to pay the tax, making it different than oth-er tax software such as TurboTax, she said.
According to its website, the company wants to legitimize and add transparency to the can-
nabis industry as well as make it more accessible for start-ups. It also wants to help with “access to cannabis by all human civiliza-tion on Earth and Mars,” accord-ing to the website.
Currently, Hartwell said the company is in the negotiation process to purchase two proper-ties from the same owner. The first is located at 407 S. Tower Ave. and the other is around the corner at 114 W. Pear St.
To help with the relocation from Seattle to Centralia, Can-naCloud applied for a TransAlta Coal Transition Grant.
The board awards grants to nonprofit organizations, busi-nesses and local governments in Lewis County and southern Thurston County as TransAlta moves away from coal fired electric power. It was part of an agreement with the state. Past recipients include Twin Transit for the installation of a charging station for an electric bus, Toledo School District to replace a boiler
and Centralia College to install solar panels.
The board met on Tuesday, Oct. 3, TransAlta Spokeswoman Lori Schmitt said. There is no guarantee the board will decide on any grant recipients. Due to confidentiality agreements, she could not comment on the chance of CannaCloud receiving a grant.
“We are coming here (Centra-lia) regardless,” Hartwell said.
One reason why Hartwell de-cided to move her company to Centralia was because of its lo-cation. She said it has easy inter-state access and is positioned be-tween two large cities. It also has quick access to Amtrak, making it easy to get to Seattle or Port-land, she said.
The other reason Hartwell chose the Hub City was because she felt her company could help the community, not only with the jobs it creates but through community programs and by laying the groundwork for other tech companies to come to the area.
“I think we could make Cen-tralia a tech hub,” Hartwell said.
She said CannaCloud is classified as a “Corporation B,” meaning it will use 25 percent of its profits to benefit the com-munity. For example, computer classes for children and seniors will be offered weekly, once the company is established and run-ning smoothly, Hartwell added.
She will also look for ways to provide internships through Centralia College to provide stu-dents with hands-on experience and a place to be gainfully em-ployed after graduation.
When deciding to move to Centralia, Hartwell said she compared the jobs her company would offer to those listed on Craigslist.com. She found the highest paying job was around $30,000 a year and the majority were minimum wage jobs, in-cluding one for a bikini barista.
As the first step in becoming part of the community, Canna-Cloud joined the Centralia-Che-halis Chamber of Commerce in late September, Chamber Execu-tive Director Alicia Bull told The Chronicle.
“The information that was presented to me seems exciting in the arena of technology. It is my understanding that this is a technology company that wants to be involved with interns and higher leveled tech jobs,” Bull said in the statement. “If the company operates in our city with a valid business license, meets city regulations, and pro-motes high quality tech jobs then I am happy to see them choose our area. Ms. Hartwell seems excited to purchase buildings and to bring high paying jobs to Lewis County. We of course wish her the best and want to support new business.”
‘‘I think we could make Centralia a tech hub.’’

October Dubbed Domestic Violence Awareness Month by Centralia City Council By The Chronicle
The Centralia City Council issued a proclamation declaring October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month on Tuesday
The proclamation was read by Councilor Ron Greenwood, and it noted domestic violence is the systematic physical, sexu-al, emotional and or economic abuse by one intimate partner to another as a means of control.
“Domestic violence is wide-spread and impacts every com-munity member of the city of Centralia,” Greenwood said, reading from the proclamation.
Human Response Network
board member and Chehalis City Councilor Tony Ketchum accepted the proclamation on behalf of the network.
“The devastating consequenc-es of domestic violence can cross the generations and can last a lifetime,” he said.
In the United States, 20 peo-ple are abused by their partners every minute, Ketchum said. That amounts to more than 10 million people each year. One in three women and one in four men have been physically abused by their intimate partner. The presence of a gun in domestic violence situations increased the rate of homicide by 500 percent, Ketchum added. One in three female murder victims and one in 20 male murder victims are killed by an intimate partner.
The city of Chehalis, Thur-
ston County and Lewis County have issued similar proclama-tions over the last two weeks.
The proclamation was pre-ceded by attempted levity from Mayor Lee Coumbs, who made a quip about the injuries of coun-cilor Joyce Barnes, whose face was bruised from a fall earlier this month.
“Contrary to any rumors you
have made I did not beat up Councilor Barnes,” Coumbs said prior to issuing the proclama-tion.
To receive support from the Human Response Network, call 800-244-7414 any time of the day. For Spanish, call 360-880-0515.
The council also approved proclamations for Arbor Day and Fire Prevention Week.

By The Seattle Times Editorial Board
Major League Baseball oc-casionally gives expression to America’s better angels. Just look at the Seattle Mariners organiza-tion, which is prioritizing pro-tective netting after a 2-year old girl was seriously injured by a foul ball at Yankee Stadium last month.
Safeguarding the health of children and families is priority one, as it should be.
“We still have some details to
work out, but the bottom line is expanded netting at Safeco Field is going to happen,” said Seattle Mariners president Kevin Mather. Safeco Field’s netting is likely to extend to the ends of the dugouts, the team an-nounced in a statement.
New York’s Todd Frazier, who hit the foul ball that day, wept, as did other players at the game. The first thing Frazier
said to reporters was that “every stadium” needed to have ex-tended netting.
The injured child, slammed in the face, suffered several facial fractures along with bleeding on the brain. The child’s father told The New York Times that he hoped the incident would prompt the Yankees to enhance safety by expanding its ballpark netting. And the Yankees quick-ly announced that they would do just that by the start of the
2018 season, not only at Yankee Stadium but at their spring-training park as well.
The incident has had a ripple effect, with San Diego, Cincin-nati and Colorado also an-nouncing protective measures. (Ten MLB teams out of 30 total already had adequate netting in place.)
So, what of the deep-pocketed fans who — heaven forfend — may have their views diminished, as if serenely gaz-
ing through a diaphanous web? They will keep the faith, God willing, elevated by the knowl-edge that it represents the greater good, not to mention they’re less likely to get beaned.
The Mariners recently wrapped up their current home schedule. It may not have been a season to write home about, but that’s OK. The Mariners are more than a business; they are a reflection of their fans, as we are of them.

On a recent Saturday af-ternoon in Portland, a young woman stepped onto the playing field at the beginning of the University of Montana versus Portland State football game and started singing our national anthem.
She immediately drew a blank on the words and brief-ly stopped, but as she started apologizing, the fans sponta-neously took up the singing.
By the time the Star-Span-gled Ban-ner ended, everyone in the packed stadium was singing in harmony. After the song ended, they gave her a huge ova-tion — clapping and cheering.
For a moment, they were not Grizzlies or Vikings. They were all just proud American patriots at a traditional col-lege football game.
When the teams ran onto the field, the lead Montana player carried a pole with a large American flag.
To be the flag bearer is a great honor.
Contrast that with what has been happening at Na-tional Football League games where some players drop to their knees in protest during the national anthem. While the issues they raise merit our attention, their tactic is ap-palling.
Our country has its share of problems. Look around the world and you will find most nations do — many much worse. The point is there are far more respectful ways to
get America’s attention.Interestingly, the NFL is
starting to feel the pinch from the protests.
League revenues are down, advertisers are getting com-plaints and fans are walking away in protests of their own. They now question spending hundreds of dollars on tickets, parking, team gear and sta-dium food and beverages.
According to USA To-day, fans are simply tuning out NFL football. Television ratings are down by double digits this year following an 8 percent drop last season.
The No. 1 reason is the flag protests.
The lower ratings are a primary reason the league revenue is taking a $200 mil-lion hit, USA Today reported.
Social media is loaded with postings that show fans are burning expensive team jerseys. There is an exception. Sales of Pittsburgh Steelers lineman Alejandro Villan-ueva’s jersey are skyrocketing because he had the courage to leave the locker room and be the lone Steeler standing with his hand over his heart dur-ing the Stars Spangled Banner.
Villanueva, a West Point graduate, is an ex-Army Ranger who served three tours in Afghanistan. Many fans are veterans or on active duty or have family in the military. They identify with Villanueva because too many have seen flag-draped caskets returning home for burial.
Support for our flag cuts across political party and ideological lines.
A recent Remington Re-search poll released found that 64 percent of Americans
believe that “NFL players should stand and be respect-ful during the national an-them” while just 24 percent disagreed.
Further, nearly half of liberals and nearly two-thirds of moderates think players should find a more appro-priate way to protest, even though many Americans were offended by President Donald Trump’s characteriza-tion of the NFL protesters.
Through all of the NFL turmoil, American flag sales, which dipped during the re-cession, are strong.
Eder Flag Manufacturing Co., a company that has been making flags since 1887 in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, had a banner year in 2016. Sales were up 15 percent from 2015.
NFL owners, advertis-ers and players need to tap into that patriotism and quit thumbing their noses at the flag.
While they say they mean no disrespect, their actions say otherwise.
There is no question that America has its faults and has treated people unjustly over our past 240 years, but we have made great strides thanks to visionary leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Players need to stand up and use their influence to make positive changes.

Chronicle Editor Misses the Mark on One Lewis County
It has come to my attention that The Chronicle has lost its journalis-tic integrity.
The articles and editorials that have been published about One Lewis County have only been cheer-leading articles.
Where are the opposing articles? If one were to read The Chronicle, one would think that there is no op-posing view to the chamber’s efforts to destroy the county commission-ers.
In an unrelated Sept. 29 com-mentary focused on the “Undocu-mented Journey” series, Chronicle Editor Eric Schwartz wrote, "The purpose of journalism, at least as I see it, is to document what’s hap-pening in a given community."
If that is true, then why is The Chronicle only printing articles in favor of changing the form of gov-ernment in Lewis County? Also, why would he allow his reporters do the same in their articles if he truly believed this? Why has The Chron-icle failed to report on the alleged violations of state law One Lewis County has made?
There is an investigation under-way right now by the PDC, but that has failed to make it in your paper. Why?
It is really a shame that the paper of record for Lewis County has no more standards.
I will leave you with one last quote from Schwartz: "I’ve said it before, but one way to look at your local newspaper is as a mirror re-flecting what’s occurring in the area."
Is your paper a mirror of the community or the chamber of com-merce?
It appears to me and many read-ers that it is the chamber that you side with.

Editor’s Note: The Chronicle was unaware of VerValen’s complaint to the Public Disclosure Commission prior to the submission of his letter Tuesday. See a related story on page Main 6. All opinions are welcome on The Chronicle’s Opinion pages.
There Are Potential Benefits to Home Rule Beyond County Manager Position
Aside from hiring a county manager to run Lewis County gov-ernment, there are other specific and beneficial aspects to allowing the citizens of Lewis County to de-termine their own form of govern-ment.
I am referring to the idea of turning many of the elected officials into appointed positions. Namely, the auditor, treasurer, clerk, assessor and coroner have no policy-mak-ing powers, but instead are largely tasked with performing already enumerated job details, and their main function is to operate those
departments efficiently and effec-tively.
Currently, the only way to re-move one of these officials is to elect someone else for the job, which can be a daunting task.
Under a home rule form of gov-ernment, these positions could become appointed positions, not elected ones.
Please understand that I am not referring either to the elected pros-ecutor or the elected sheriff. These positions should remain elected, and of course so should the com-missioners.
Additionally, I would also rec-ommend the elected positions of commissioner, sheriff and prosecu-tor be turned into non-partisan po-sitions.
This should theoretically, result in a better pool of candidates to choose from when those positions are being voted on.
With the top-two primary law in this state, but also with Lewis Coun-ty being predominately Republican, it is the most popular Republican who wins the elections.
All voices should be heard and have a legitimate chance to make it into county government, not just Republican voices.
This might, in fact, be the best reason to push forward for home rule government.

Herrera Beutler Lacks Political Courage on DACA
I posed a question to U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler earlier this month: Why did she not join with Northwest congressional represen-tatives to request that the Depart-ment of Homeland Security extend a renewal deadline for DACA recipi-ents from Oct. 5 to Jan. 15?
Fellow Republicans Reps. Dan Newhouse and Dave Reichert joined in this bi-partisan request.
As is common when asking a question of Herrera Beutler, the only reply I received was a form letter.
It was actually a copy of the iden-tical DACA form letter her office sent me the month before in reply to another email.
Herrera Beutler says in her form letters that we “can provide assur-ances to DACA recipients in South-west Washington who have done nothing wrong that we understand their plight and that they can build a future here in the only country that many of them have ever known.”
If indeed DACA recipients have done “nothing wrong,” why not at least try to give them a reasonable time to apply for renewal and raise the $495 application fee?
I applaud Republican Reps. Ne-whouse and Reichert, and Demo-cratic representatives from Wash-ington and Oregon who joined in the request for extension. They demonstrated that they “understand the plight” of DACA recipients, and they had the political courage to do something about it.

Two names will appear on the ballot for the only contested Mossyrock School Board race, but one of the candidates has since decided not to run, al-though it was too late to with-draw her name from the election.
Incumbent Darren Kolb was set to face off with Diane Hutchi-
son for the director district 4 po-sition.
Hutchison told The Chroni-cle that as much as she’d like to run, she received a teaching posi-tion in Kelso and is only living in the area part-time.
“I won’t be an effective advo-cate for the Mossyrock commu-nity if I can’t be there,” she said, noting she still owns a home in
the area. “The position came along after it was too late to with-draw.”
Kolb was appointed to the school board two years ago. It’s the only public office he has ever held.
The biggest issues facing the district, according to Kolb, is in-creasing the student’s grades and testing to meet state averages.
“We are doing better, but our grades are fairly low,” he said.
“I’m just trying to get Mossyrock to be one of the better schools around for academics.”
He hopes to accomplish that by bringing in new programs and ideas to the school district.
Kolb, a 1993 graduate of Mossyrock, is an electrician at Chehalis Power. For the last 15
years, he has ran the team sports programs at the elementary school level.
Two other school board po-sitions are on the ballot, but the candidates are unopposed.
Chris Coleman is running for director district 2, while Tanissa Lovan is on the ballot for direc-tor district 3.

Fish-Farming Company Offered Money for Lummi Nation’s Silence on Net PensHUSH MONEY: Cooke Aquaculture Offered the Lummi Nation Premium Price for Fish Caught That Had Escaped from Cooke Pens, in Exchange for Keeping Silent on Ban on Net Pens Atlantic Salmon Farms
By Lynda V. Mapes
The Seattle Times
Cooke Aquaculture offered to pay a premium price for At-lantic salmon caught by the Lummi Nation after a major spill from the company’s Cypress Is-land fish farm if the tribe would not advocate getting rid of net pen aquaculture.
The tribe tartly rejected the offer. “Your demand to keep quiet for a few extra dollars is insulting,” Timothy Ballew II, chairman of the Lummi Indian Business Council, responded in a Sept. 14 letter.
Nell Halse, vice president for communications for Cooke, said Wednesday the offer “was not an attempt to muzzle or insult the Lummi Nation, but rather an ef-fort to negotiate toward common ground and respect the interests and concerns of both parties at the table …”
One of the company’s three fish farms at Cypress Island in the San Juans collapsed the weekend of Aug. 20, releasing an estimated 105,000 fish into the water just as native Pacific salmon were returning to their spawning ground. Lummi fish-ermen recovered the lion’s share of the fish on the loose after the tribe launched an emergency fishery.
Going on behind the scenes ever since have been negotiations by the company with tribal and nontribal fishers and firms in-volved in the cleanup effort.
Lummi told Cooke in a Sept. 11 letter that the company’s ini-tial offer of $30 per fish doesn’t begin to cover the tribe’s cost for staff, paying its fishermen and related expenses. The company agreed to pay more — but there were strings attached, letters be-tween Cooke and the tribe show.
Glenn Cooke, company co-founder and CEO, proposed in a Sept. 13 letter to Ballew paying $42 per fish, instead of $30, “ … subject to agreement between the parties that neither party would use the facts surround-ing this escape to advocate for a phase out or ban of net pen aqua-culture” until a study could be done to evaluate the impacts of the fish escape.
The privately held, family-owned company based in New Brunswick, Canada, is one of the world’s largest aquaculture op-erations, with nearly $2 billion in revenue a year and operations in multiple countries. It spent $500 million this week to buy Omega Protein of Houston, a fishing company that also makes prod-ucts such as fish oil and fish meal, and it also owns Icicle Seafoods, which it acquired along with all of the company’s eight fish farms in Washington in 2016.
Cooke eventually paid the Lummi Nation $1.3 million — $30 a fish.
In addition to the deal it of-fered the Lummi Nation, worth an extra $521,000, Cooke said it would fund a study “to evaluate impacts that may arise from the escape of fish into your tribal wa-
ters.”The study was tied to the
company’s offer of a higher price if the tribe would not advocate for a ban on net pens. “We felt it was appropriate to request that Lummi Nation agree to a tempo-rary hiatus on seeking a ban of our operations until the scientif-ic results of our proposed study were available to determine the true impact of the farmed fish on native fish,” Halse wrote in an email to The Seattle Times.
The company also offered to fund for two years a full-time position in the tribe’s natural-re-sources department, and it con-cluded with an offer to “explore and implement economic part-nerships that would be very ben-eficial to your tribal members, in the form of jobs and revenue, potentially with a total economic benefit that exceeds $1 million annually to the members of your tribe.”
Conciliation, Business
Cooke started early in its at-tempts to strike a conciliatory tone with the tribe. In an Aug. 30 letter while the Lummi’s emer-gency fishery was still on, the company wrote Ballew: “As har-vesters of salmon, we have much in common, we believe that our company and your people would benefit greatly from an exchange of ideas, values, and technical expertise about our shared enter-prise.
“We are prepared to pay a visit to your ancestral lands … we would be delighted to host you on a tour of our sites in Scotland, or Maine or the East Coast of Canada to introduce you to our farmers and see how our systems operate.
“We will continue to identify ways that Cooke Aquaculture Pa-cific can be a productive partner with the Lummi Nation. Salmon is important to us. But to you we genuinely understand that salm-on is much more. Salmon is sa-cred. It is life. It is sustenance. It is your ancestral tradition, your tribal mythology, your living culture and your promise to the future. Cooke Aquaculture hon-
ors this, and seeks to understand it even more in the weeks and months and years ahead.”
The tone was more business-like in Cooke’s letter of Sept. 13, demanding an accounting of the tribe’s costs if Cooke was to pay more with no agreement from Lummi to go quiet on opposition to fish farms.
Ballew fired back Sept. 14: “Perhaps we should take this op-portunity to recap how we got to this place. You failed to ensure that your facility was operated in a responsible manner. You failed to comply with your Aquatic Lands Lease. You failed to com-ply with the provisions of your (Ecology) permit and you failed to comply with your Fish Escape Prevention Plan. And then you attempted to blame the spill on high tides associated with the solar eclipse. Do you really think that you are in any position to question our veracity?
“… To be perfectly clear, the Lummi Nation is not willing to be muzzled for an additional $12 per fish.”
Ballew, in an interview, said he chose to make the letters public because the company had made it sound in its public state-ments that it made its eventual payment of $1.3 million “out of the goodness of their heart.”
“They are purporting it to be a good-faith gesture when in all reality it is their responsibility to clean up this mess,” Ballew said.
After the escape, which is still under state investigation, Gov. Jay Inslee had called on Cooke to capture the escaped fish — or pay others to do it for them. “… I believe the company must do everything it can to stop any ad-ditional escapes and to recover as many fish as possible, including adequate compensation for those working to remove Atlantic salmon from our waters,” Inslee stated in a news release.
Ecology regards Atlantic salmon as a pollutant in state waters; unauthorized releases are punishable by fines. In a fish-escape recovery plan filed with the state as a condition to operate, Cooke also committed to recapture escaped fish using
company skiffs and seines, and/or enlisting tribes or contracting and hiring commercial fishing-boat operators.
In accepting what it called a meager offer from Cooke, the Lummi did not waive any other avenues to attempt to seek com-pensation for damages, Ballew noted in a letter Sept. 11, includ-ing a possible lawsuit.
The tribe is still incurring costs and assessing damage, Ballew said. “In an effort to at-tempt to mitigate the damages caused by your failure to main-tain your facility, we have in-curred significant expenses, and will continue to incur significant expenses well into the future,” Ballew wrote Cooke.
Fish Turned to Fertilizer
Far from taking the com-pany’s deal, the Lummi have helped lead a charge, now unani-mous among Western Washing-ton tribes with treaty-protected fisheries, to shut down net-pen Atlantic salmon aquaculture in Washington.
Meanwhile the company is building up its Washington fish-farm business, moving 1 mil-lion more Atlantic salmon to its Clam Bay farm near Bainbridge Island, and bringing nearly 2 million more Atlantic salmon eggs to its Rochester hatchery, with permits granted by the state Department of Fish and Wild-life since the spill. The permit to bring the eggs to the company’s land-based hatchery was granted Tuesday and the permit to move more Atlantic salmon to open water net pens was granted Oct. 2.
Meanwhile negotiations are still underway between the com-pany and tribes over the spill. Halse said the company, so far, has paid $1.5 million to tribes involved in the recovery effort, including the Lummi. She said the company offered the same $30-per-fish bounty to each trib-al nation, in addition to offering to fund a full-time position on their natural-resource staffs.
However, Riley Starks, who is nonnative, said the compa-
ny has stiffed his firm for the roughly 2,000 Atlantic salmon his company, Lummi Island Wild, helped recover as a tender to tribal fishers, taking the fish from their boats and transfer-ring the Atlantics to cold storage.
Starks estimated his uncom-pensated costs at about $30,000 but said his concern was about more than money. “Behind the scenes another drama has been playing out, the unwillingness of Cooke Aquaculture to make good on their legal, financial and moral duty to pay for the cost of cleaning up their mess,” Starks said.
Cooke did offer to pay Lum-mi Island Wild $1.25 per pound for the 8- to 10-pound fish, Halse said, “but they rejected that offer. Instead they asked for the same price we had offered to the trib-al fishermen, who had actually caught the fish.
“Lummi Island Wild — which is not a tribe — purchased Atlan-tic salmon from other fishermen as a speculative business venture without contacting Cooke ahead of time to negotiate a buy-back program.”
Starks said he jumped into the fishery, setting the compa-ny’s normal work aside, not as a moneymaker but a rescue. “I thought it was the right thing to do.” He added that Cooke’s price was less than his direct costs for hauling and freezing the fish — and less than the roughly $3 a pound offered the tribes.
Cooke sent the 400,000 pounds of Atlantic salmon it bought back from the Lummi to an anaerobic digester, where the fish were converted into meth-ane for power generation and then fertilizer, Halse said.
Riley said he doesn’t know what to do with the 2,000 fish he’s sitting on. “I don’t think it’s safe to eat, because they had not had a clean bill of health for re-lease. And we don’t want them out in the environment as crab bait, either.
“They don’t belong here.”

Leonard Dallas "Lenny" BridgesLeonard Dallas "Lenny"
Bridges earned his angel wings Sept. 22, 2017, at the prime age of 68, leaving a lasting footprint in the hearts of many.
Lenny left his legacy by always finding a way to help others. His genuine laughter, bear hug and listening ear will be forever cherished.
He was born in Raymond, Wash., to parents, Ilene Bridges (Morgan) and Lowell (Sonny) Bridges. His childhood consisted of playing with his neighborhood friends and three siblings on Weaver Street in Southfork, along the Willapa River. Little Lenny was a great shot with his shotgun. He was also one of the town’s best little league ball players and an avid golfer and bowler in his teenage years.
In his adulthood, Lenny ventured into many different job titles, including truck driver, school bus driver, flower shop owner, restaurant owner, radio talk show host and gillnetter. Lenny graduated alongside his wife, Coleen, with a masters
in education degree at Central Washington University in 1992. He worked as a college instructor for local community colleges and spent 19 years as GED instructor at the Washington State Correction Center in Shelton, earning respect from his students and colleagues with his unmatched work ethic. Lenny was also a devoted leader and warrior of the Cowlitz people, holding position on the tribal council and various other committees over the years.
Lenny was a devoted family man. He was always early to family gatherings and loved making everyone laugh with his infectious humor. He had a special connection with each family member and made it a priority to keep in touch with his close friends. Lenny coached his daughters’ fast pitch teams and taught all his children how to fish. He loved playing cards and board games and was a master in the game of cribbage.
In his retirement, Lenny
spent his time at home cooking delicious meals for his wife, watering the yard, organizing family fishing trips and feeding all the neighborhood cats. He also enjoyed going to the movies and eating at local restaurants. Most currently, he worked as a volunteer Guardian Ad Litem in the local community and stayed an active member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe.
Lenny was a deep and spiritual man and believed in the power and strength of his creator, Jesus Christ. He connected with many human and animal lives here on Earth and was excited to go to heaven to see those who left before him. He lived each day full of joy, constantly expressing his gratefulness to God for his loving wife, close family and his amazing life. In remembrance of this great man, we will forever try to be a little more like Lenny.
He was preceded in death by both of his parents, Lowell Bridges and Ilene Morgan.
Lenny is survived by his three siblings, Lowell (Sonny) Bridges (Kim), Sandy Bridges and Soozy Bridges; wife, Coleen (Lomsdalen); daughter, Stacey; son, Leonard Jacob (Katie); daughter, Wendy (Jerad); daughter, Charly (James); granddaughter, Sophia; grandson, Drew; and many nieces and nephews.

CRITICAL AQUIFER:
Porous Ground Makes Groundwater Easily Polluted, Public Works Director Says
By Graham Perednia
In order to protect the city’s drinking water, the Centralia City Council is considering op-tions to expand its sewer system to areas over a critical aquifer on the northern end of city limits.
The council outlined protect-ing the critical aquifer as one of its strategic goals for 2018.
Public Works Director Kahle Jennings, who is retiring at the end of this month, said the aqui-fer is very porous. Sources of potential contamination include
illegal dumping, spills from Interstate 5, Harrison Avenue, rail lines, underground storage tanks and light industry.
Jennings added septic sys-tems are also a source of con-tamination and the porous aqui-fer does not treat septic effluent, including nitrates. The current nitrate levels are at 2.8 parts per million, he said. At 5 parts per million additional monitoring is required, and at 10 parts per mil-lion, the water is not potable and can even cause “blue baby syn-drome,” which decreases a baby’s ability to process oxygen and can lead to death.
About 40 percent of the homes over the critical aquifer operate a septic system, Jennings said.
Three options were presented to the council to encourage sep-tic owners to convert to sewer.
The first was to maintain the current practice to have develop-ers extend the water and sewer system. The city has occasionally acted as a developer to expand the system in order to spur fur-ther growth. According to the briefing prepared by Jennings, the expansion would be slow and it would not have a program to protect the aquifer. With this op-tion, nothing would change.
The second option is to re-duce or waive the connection charges to encourage connec-tions. According to the brief-ing, this option could be funded through the sewer fund; however, it might not be an appropriate use of the enterprise fund. Jen-nings said he has requested more information from the state audi-tor’s office on whether the fund could be used for this purpose.
The option would not pro-
vide protection for accidental spills and would not be too effec-tive because the properties with septic systems are not near exist-ing sewer lines, he said. However, it may encourage large develop-ments in the area, he said.
The final option is to create an aquifer protection reserve in the water fund to expand the sewer system and reduce or waive connection fees.
When asked by council which option he would recommend, Jennings said the third, but it does not do enough, he added.
“I think it would be appropri-ate for the city to bond to build some of the larger infrastruc-ture,” Jennings said.
The cost would be around $20 million, Jennings said. He said sewers in the area could also be beneficial to the economic de-velopment of the city.
“Lack of sewers is limiting de-velopment,” Jennings said.
During sewer installation, the city could also run water lines to recharge the groundwa-ter with reclaimed water from the wastewater treatment facil-ity, Jennings said. Doing it dur-ing installation would save the city money and work to cycle water back into the aquifer, he said. The reclaimed water is safe for human consumption but the ground would finish polishing it, Councilor John Elmore added.
If the nitrate levels rise to dangerous levels in the aquifer, then the city would have to con-struct an additional treatment facility to purify the water before it is introduced into the system, Jennings said. He estimated that would cost somewhere between $20 million and $40 million.
Centralia City Council Hears Sewer Expansion Options to Protect Aquifer
Ronald Reagan. Following inter-mission, the theater will show the 1952 film “Road to Bali” starring Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour. It is the sixth “Road to” movie and the first one in color.
Crosby was born in Tacoma and grew up in Spokane. He was a huge star in the 1940s and 50s. His 1942 single “White Christ-mas” is the best selling song of all time. He also starred in the 1954 movie “White Christmas.”
Flynn was born in Australia and moved to the United States during the Golden Age of Hol-lywood. He is best known for his swashbuckler roles in “Cap-tain Blood,” “The Adventures of Robin Hood,” and “The Sea Hawk.” However, he played a number of cowboys in westerns as well, including his roles in
“The Santa Fe Trail,” “Virginia City,” and “San Antonio.”
Tickets are $5 per person with a selection of concessions available including special Roxy chocolate bars.
Australia-born Morton resi-dent Ron Field will introduce the double feature. He first met Crosby in 1957 in Seattle and several other times in London, according to the press release.
The theater is located at 233 West Main St., Morton.

Nordstrom’s Newest Store Aims For A Personal Touch — And No Clothing RacksThe Tribune News Service
LOS ANGELES — The latest addition to the Nordstrom roster looks nothing like a department store and more like an exclusive boutique crossed with a hipster coffee and juice bar.
At Nordstrom Local, a 3,000-square-foot, ivy-covered shop on Melrose Place in Los An-geles’ Beverly Grove neighborhood, customers can meet with a per-sonal stylist, have clothing tailored, get a manicure and sip a beverage laced with caffeine or alcohol.
Just don’t try to browse the racks. Because there aren’t any.
Shea Jensen, Nordstorm’s se-nior vice president for customer experience, said the new shop, which is much smaller than the chain’s average 140,000-square-foot store, is an experiment em-phasizing pampered service and convenience.
Nordstrom’s test concept comes as traditional retailers are being battered by the growing popularity of shopping online and at discount mass merchants, which has eroded mall traffic and hurt profit margins.
Assange Upends Rohrabacher, Denies He Will Reveal DNC Emails SourceThe Tribune News Service
WASHINGTON — Julian As-sange appeared to dispute Rep. Dana Rohrabacher’s assertion that he is ready to give up the source who provided his website, WikiLeaks, with the Democratic National Committee emails it published last July.
“WikiLeaks never has and nev-er will reveal a source,” Assange tweeted.
He was responding to a Daily Caller report that Rohrabacher and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul met to discuss a deal for Assange to out his source in exchange for a presidential pardon from Donald Trump.
“Offers have been made to me — not the other way around. I do not speak to the public through third parties,” Assange tweeted.
Assange’s unequivocal denial contrasts sharply with the pub-lic statements of Rohrabacher, a Southern California Republican, who met with Assange in August at the Ecuadorian embassy in Lon-don where he has sought asylum since 2012.
Rohrabacher said in August the details of the meeting would have “an earth-shattering political impact” because they proved the Russian government had no role in providing WikiLeaks with the DNC emails.
But Rohrabacher has declined to share those details without first securing a promise from Trump to pardon Assange.
10 at LSU charged In Alleged Hazing That Killed Freshman The Tribune News Service
ATLANTA — The arrests of 10 people associated with a college fraternity for an alleged hazing incident that killed a freshman are intended to send a tough message: Louisiana State University will not tolerate the alcohol-fueled behavior.
But the arrests alone may do little to end a campus tradition that has killed at least one Amer-ican college student a year since 1961, experts said Wednesday.
“It’s unusual for such stiff pen-alties to be placed. What would be more unusual is if the penal-ties are successful,” said Hank Nuwer, an associate journalism professor at Franklin College in Indiana, who has studied hazing for four decades. “We just saw that at Penn State. It’s very hard for them to stick.”
On Wednesday, eight current and two former LSU students were charged with hazing fol-lowing the Sept. 14 death of Max Gruver of Roswell, Ga., the uni-versity said.
World in Brief
Kenyan Opposition Leader Pulls Out Of Rerun Election, Claiming It Lacks CredibilityThe Tribune News Service
JOHANNESBURG, South Af-rica — Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga on Tuesday pulled out of a rerun election scheduled for later this month, saying his party lacked confidence in the credibility of the process.
Kenya’s Supreme Court ruled the Aug. 8 presidential election invalid because the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Com-mission failed to follow the correct procedures laid down in the con-stitution and electoral law, order-ing a repeat election be held.
The opposition has held repeat-ed protest actions in recent weeks, claiming it has no confidence in the IEBC and calling for key officials on the commission to be removed.
“All indications are that the election scheduled for 26 October will be worse than the previous one,” Odinga said Tuesday.
He called for fresh elections in 90 days to allow time to ensure a credible election and he demand-ed nominations for the presiden-tial race be reopened.
Spain’s Prime Minister Threatens Direct Rule If Catalonia Presses Independence Bid The Tribune News Service
BARCELONA, Spain — Spain’s Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy on Wednesday issued a blis-tering denunciation of Catalonia’s regional independence referen-dum Oct. 1 and raised the threat of Madrid imposing direct rule on the northeast region.
The Spanish leader’s stinging rebuke, delivered at a somber ses-sion of the national parliament, marked a deepening of Spain’s worst political crisis in decades. It puts Catalonia’s separatist-minded leaders on notice that constitution-al measures whose use is unprece-dented in the country’s democratic history could be employed to halt the region’s independence bid.
“One thing is absolutely clear: Our democracy is experiencing one of the gravest moments in its history,” Rajoy said. Spain “cannot be fragmented unless its citizens choose.”
That echoed Madrid’s stand-ing contention that the country as a whole would have to vote on the independence question.
Earlier, Rajoy demanded for-mal clarification of what he called a confusing speech a day earlier by Catalonia’s regional president, Carles Puigdemont — and said his query was being made in the con-text of Article 155, which gives the central government the authority to stage an administrative take-over in a Spanish region.
Merkel Gives Ground on German Migration CapThe Tribune News Service
BERLIN — German Chan-cellor Angela Merkel agreed to a demand by her Bavarian allies to seek an annual limit on mi-gration, clearing an obstacle for talks on forming her next gov-ernment and responding to an electoral surge by the nationalist Alternative for Germany party.
Two weeks after an election in which support for her Christian Democratic Union-led bloc was the lowest since 1949, the attempt to cap migration marks a conces-sion by Merkel, who has resisted persistent demands by her CSU sister party for a limit. She now should be able to turn to talks with the Free Democratic Party and Greens on building a coali-tion contract for her fourth term.
CDU and CSU leaders agree that net migration to Germa-ny, including asylum seekers, shouldn’t exceed 200,000 annu-ally, according to a document seen by Bloomberg outlining the deal reached Sunday. At the same time, they pledge to uphold the right to political asylum un-der the German constitution and international agreements.

WASHINGTON — Nothing seems to push lawmakers to get their jobs done and pass legisla-tion more than the threat of hav-ing to be in Washington over the holidays.
Knowing this, Speaker Paul D. Ryan made it clear Thursday that Congress staying in ses-sion over Christmas is in option if they have not advanced a tax overhaul bill by then.
“We’re going to keep people here for Christmas if we have to,” the speaker said at a Heritage Foundation event. “I don’t care. We have to get this done.”
However, that won’t be neces-sary if all goes according to plan.
The goal is for the Senate to pass a budget resolution next week and go to conference with the House to quickly resolve the differences between their bud-gets. Once both chambers have adopted a reconciled budget with a common reconciliation instruction for the tax overhaul, the House Ways and Means Committee will release the tax overhaul bill and go to markup.
The House will then take up the measure on the floor with the goal of getting it passed and over to the Senate in November, Ryan said.
“We are actually on track timeline wise,” he said.
If the House does get a bill to the Senate in November, timing is then out of Ryan’s control until the upper chamber acts. But the Christmas threat is not empty as the two chambers are expected to pass different bills and a con-ference committee will likely be needed to close the gaps.
Ryan will want to keep his members in session until a con-ference committee report on the tax bill is passed.
The speaker also had a warn-ing for members and anyone else who stands in the way of advanc-ing the tax bill: “If we squander this opportunity, it’s not going to come back.”
The last time Congress over-hauled the tax code was 1986, and Ryan and many members believe that if lawmakers don’t pass a new overhaul this year while they’ve got GOP control
of the legislative and executive branches, that the trend of inac-tion will continue.
Republicans are already run-ning into some issues with their plan, like growing opposition to a proposal to repeal the state and local tax deduction.
While some members are floating proposals on how to keep the tax break, albeit in a more limited form, Ryan has sig-naled that he wants to see it go.
“These are the issues that we have to help members see the bigger picture,” Ryan said when asked about the deduction Thursday.
Taxpayers from all states will better off because of proposals to double the standard deduction, increase the child tax credit and eliminate the marriage penalty, he said.
While there may be some “narrow thing” members don’t like in the GOP plan, the broader view about the overall benefit is prevailing, Ryan said.
“That’s why I feel so good about where we are in the House
— and the Senate,” he said.
Tense Battles Across California as Firestorm Grows; 23 Dead, Hundreds Remain MissingBy The Los Angeles Times
Thousands of firefighters bat-tled through another tense night on the fire lines across Northern California, officials said early Thursday, and increasing winds prompted authorities to evacuate entire towns as flames descended.
The massive Atlas Peak fire in Napa and Solano counties grew to 43,000 acres, burning the eastern hills surrounding Napa, Napa County spokeswom-an Nikki Lundeen said Thursday morning. The Tubbs fire, which burned much of Santa Rosa and prompted Napa County officials to evacuate the entire town of Calistoga, reached about 35,000 acres, she said. The Patrick fire has burned around 9,500 acres, and the Nuns fire has consumed about 8,400 acres.
The dry, wind-whipped con-ditions that sparked one of the worst firestorms in California history returned to a lesser de-
gree Wednesday night and were expected to continue through at least Thursday morning.
With winds picking up, it was an anxious night and early morning for area residents as the army of firefighters worked to keep the flames away from com-munities. Red-flag fire warnings were in place through Thursday afternoon. The winds can reig-nite embers and send them hur-tling through the air. If they land in areas not yet burned, there would be little that firefighters could do to stop them from set-ting off new conflagrations, of-ficials said.
“Every glowing ember is a ticking time bomb,” said Stephen Warren, a Cal Fire apparatus en-gineer.
In addition to Calistoga, resi-dents of Geyserville, in Sonoma County, were ordered to leave their homes Wednesday night.
Sonoma County also ordered Rio Lindo Adventist Academy, a
boarding school on the outskirts of Healdsburg near the edge of the Tubbs fire, to prepare to evacuate if necessary.
The school is “up a very long, narrow, two-lane road,” said So-noma County Sheriff ’s Deputy Brandon Jones “Logistically it’s a nightmare to evacuate.”
The death toll from the fires rose to 23 late Wednesday, and Sonoma County officials have received 600 reports of missing people. Of those, 315 have been found safe. Authorities said that with communications hobbled by downed cellphone towers and people making hasty escapes, they were hopeful that most, if not all, of the others would turn up safe. The fires have consumed an estimated 160,000 acres and 3,500 structures.
“We’ve had big fires in the past,” Gov. Jerry Brown said Wednesday at a briefing with state and federal fire officials.
“This is one of the biggest.”

WASHINGTON — Irani-an President Hassan Rouhani lashed out at Donald Trump Wednesday charging that U.S. opposition to the Iranian nuclear deal has only united all Iranians and brought sympathy toward Tehran from Europe.
Speaking at a meeting of his cabinet, Rouhani warned Trump against taking such "hostile ac-tion," and suggested that even if the United States pulls out, Iran will uphold its side of the agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), if it serves Iranian interests through continued economic ties with Europe, ac-
cording to translated excerpts obtained by McClatchy.
"Today, those who support and oppose the JCPOA are united with a single voice," Rouhani said.
"We consider violation of a com-mitment wrong and treacherous against the interests of our coun-try, the region and the world."
Trump is expected to "decerti-fy" the Iran nuclear deal as early as Thursday, declaring the Obama-era pact not in U.S. interests and launching a congressional review of the agreement. Trump has ar-gued that Iran has not lived up to the spirit of the pact and charged Tehran with supporting terrorism and exporting violence.
"The president has reached a decision on an overall Iran strat-
egy and wants to make sure we have a broad policy to deal with that, not just one part of it, to deal with all of the problems of Iran being a bad actor," White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday.
But Trump has received little support from the other five world powers involved in the pact that lifted crippling economic sanc-tions on the Iranian regime in return for restrictions on nuclear activities. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Theresa May of the United Kingdom phoned Trump to urge him to reconsider, calling the agreement "vital for regional security." France and Germany
— also signers — have also pres-sured the White House to remain.

Two dogs trained to com-fort crime victims in Thurston County are in Las Vegas to help in the wake of last week’s mass shooting that left 58 people dead and about 500 wounded.
The Thurston County Pros-ecuting Attorney’s Office and Monarch Children’s Justice and Advocacy Center in Lacey are among the agencies that have sent their courthouse facility dog teams to Las Vegas. They joined a team from the FBI to provide support to victims and their families, according to the Bel-levue-based Courthouse Dogs Foundation.
Courthouse facility dogs pro-vide companionship and com-fort to vulnerable people, helping them to talk through painful or traumatic experiences. The dogs also are trained to work in high stress environments.
According to the foundation, there are nearly 150 courthouse facility dogs working in 35 states.
Marshal, a black Lab, joined the Thurston County Prosecut-ing Attorney’s Office last year. He arrived in Las Vegas on Sat-urday with Kim Carroll, his han-dler and a senior victim advocate.
Astro, Monarch’s dog, started working with children at the center in 2014. The yellow Lab-golden retriever mix sits with them during interviews, medical
exams and court appearances.Ellen O’Neill-Stephens with
the Courthouse Dogs Founda-tion said the group got a call from the Las Vegas fire department on Friday asking for help. By Satur-day, it had eight dogs and their handlers, who are trained victim advocates, on the way.
This was the first time the group has mobilized dogs to re-spond to such an event. O’Neill-Stephens said so far the dogs have been working in hospitals with shooting victims and their families.
“We’ve had a couple handlers say this has been a powerful ex-perience. It’s hard to handle all that trauma — it impacts you, and it impacts the dogs as well,” she said.

Johnny Davis, a former Yelm resident found guilty in the 2000s of sexually assaulting two girls, should not be returned to the Special Commitment Center on McNeil Island, a Thurston County jury has decided.
Davis, now 34, has been held at the center since 2009, when a jury found that he was a sexually violent offender. At the time, he was ordered held until he could be safely released.
To keep Davis at the facil-ity, attorneys from the state At-torney General's Office would have needed to prove that a less restrictive option isn't in Davis'
best interest, or that the less re-strictive alternative doesn't in-clude conditions that would ad-equately protect the community.
A 12-person jury found on Oct. 6 that Assistant Attorneys General Sean Waite and Thomas Howe didn't prove either of those things.
Instead of being committed on McNeil Island, Davis likely will live at a group home in Ta-coma, and undergo sex offender treatment with Jeanglee Tracer, a state certified sex offender treat-ment provider. The plan for the less restrictive alternative is cur-rently under review.
In 1996, Davis was accused of sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl. He was 13 years old at
the time, and charged in Thur-ston County Juvenile Court with first-degree child rape. He plead-ed guilty to the charge later that year.
In 1999, he again pleaded guilty to three charges involv-ing a 4-year-old girl: first-degree child rape, first-degree child mo-lestation, and first-degree kid-napping with sexual motivation, according to The Olympian's ar-chives. He was sentenced to five years in custody at age 16.
In that case, Davis was ac-cused of luring the girl with chewing gum, toys and promises of a fort, then assaulting her on at least 10 separate occasions.
At the time, Davis lived with his father and stepmother in
Yelm. Both of the victims lived in the same neighborhood.
The Attorney General's Of-fice first petitioned in 2004 to have Davis civilly committed as a sexually violent predator, ac-cording to court files. The state's Sexually Violent Predator law was passed in 1990 and allows the Attorney General's Office to petition for civil commitment beyond the time served for a sex-ually violent crime conviction.
In 2009, a jury found that Davis was a sexually violent predator. He was ordered to be committed at the Special Com-mitment Center, run by the state Department of Social and Health Services on McNeil Island. There are currently 273 sexually violent
predators there, according to a press release from the Attorney General's Office.
Since his commitment, Davis has undergone several evalua-tions. Until January 2015, Davis had declined to participate in sex offender related programs. But according to a 2017 report, Da-vis began sex offender treatment sometime during the review pe-riod. The report notes that he seemed "generally happier."
Elizabeth Bain, the psycholo-gist who wrote the report, wrote that Davis continues to suf-fer from a personality disorder. However, the disorder doesn't make him likely to engage in acts of sexual violence if he isn't con-fined to a secure facility.
Yelm Sex Offender Shouldn’t Be Returned to McNeil Island, Jury Decides
By Jonathan Glover
The Spokesman-Review
A 66-year-old black man was the victim of a seemingly ran-dom hate crime Sunday evening. His alleged attacker: a white man with a shaved head and the words "white power" tattooed on his leg.
Jason Edward Cooper, 32, is accused of shouting racial slurs at his neighbor Norris Cooley, punching him in the face and pointing a gun at his head before firing rounds into Cooley's home where several people sat inside.
Cooper, along with 36-year-old Donald Lucas Prichard, were arrested late Monday night. They had first court appearances Tues-day afternoon, where they were charged with first-degree assault and malicious harassment.
The night of terror, detailed in court documents, started with a normal Sunday that turned vi-olent as Cooley was berated and violently attacked for no reason other than the color of his skin, according to Spokane police.
While he was cleaning out his garage at around 11 p.m., two males came out of a home direct-ly to the north of Cooley's, and immediately started shouting ra-cial epithets.
"(N-word) you don't deserve to be breathing white man's air," one man told Cooley, accord-ing to officer Nicholas Geren of the Spokane Police Depart-ment, who wrote an affidavit of facts following Cooper's arrest. A friend of Cooley's who was work-
ing on his car in the driveway told police he heard Cooper say,
"smile (N-word) so I can see you. I might shoot you in the dark."
Phil Tyler, former president of the NAACP's Spokane chap-ter, released a statement Tuesday night urging the community to push back against such crimes.
"Sadly, we have been here before. These types of acts are meant to threaten and place fear in the minds of our citizens, our neighbors, our friends," Tyler said. "We cannot and will not tolerate these acts."
He wrote that such brazen hate crimes are a growing prob-lem in America and called upon Spokane residents to repudiate it. Tyler thanked Spokane Police for the quick investigative work and arrest.
"This shows they too are in-vested and have a desire to re-move that which is the worst from our community," Tyler said.
"We stand together, steadfast and resolute, in the determination not to allow hate to resonate, not to allow hate a place, and to call it out when we find it."
A neighbor of Cooley's told police she could hear yelling coming from across the street, including "you're just an (N-word)" and "heil the KKK, white power." She told officers Cooley didn't yell back.
Elizabeth Fisher, who shares the home at 2422 N. Wiscomb Avenue in north Spokane with Cooley, said Cooper came up to Cooley completely unprovoked,
calling him a "rapist, child mo-lester, and (N-word)."
"The guy just came over here, saying that black lives don't mat-ter, only white lives matter," Fish-er, who is white, said Tuesday af-ternoon standing near the bullet holes peppering her front porch.
"We were so shocked it happened."Cooley apparently told the
men to leave him alone and en-tered his garage.
Cooper and Prichard, iden-tified as "Luke" in court docu-ments, followed him, where one of the men punched Cooley in the left side of the face and pulled a "snub-nosed revolver" from his waistband, Cooley told police. The man pointed the gun at Cooley and threatened to kill him. As they left, the friend who was working on his car, said Cooper told him "You're gonna be next."
About 20 minutes later, while back inside his home, is when Cooley told police he heard the gunfire. Fisher, who was also inside when the shots rang out, said it took them a few seconds to register what was happening.
"We had to get on the ground," she said, her daughter Allye Weaver in the back room.
Her front porch was riddled with bullets.
"I was inches from being shot. That's for sure," Fisher said.
The friend who was in the driveway moved his vehicle to the intersection of Carlisle Av-enue and Wiscomb to make use of the street lamps. He told po-
lice he heard several shots and saw two men standing in the street near a white Isuzu Rodeo. He said he could see the muzzle flash pointed toward Cooley's home, and when he yelled at the men to stop, he saw the gun turn toward him as if he was being shot at.
He said he dove into the front seat of his vehicle for protection, then saw the Rodeo drive away.
Cooper's girlfriend, in an interview with detectives, de-scribed her boyfriend as a "su-premacist" who had "white power" tattooed on his leg. Her daughter told police that Cooper is a "racist" and has a "dislike for colored people." She told officers she believes he was "skinhead."
The daughter told officers that after allegedly assaulting Cooley, Cooper came in with Prichard and was bragging to her mom about knocking "out the (N-word)." She said he seemed
proud of himself.In a news release sent Tues-
day afternoon, police said they take malicious harassment "very seriously."
"Detectives worked for nearly 24 hours straight to bring this case to a resolution," officers wrote. "Spokane Police are aware of the negative impact incidents like this can have on our diverse community... All of our com-munity members deserve to feel safe."
Since 2007, Cooper has been charged with 13 felonies, with 12 convictions, including burglary and assault.
Fisher, who said she's lived in the home for five years alongside Cooley, said this is the first time she's seen Cooley be the victim of a hate crime in her neighbor-hood, let alone called a racist slur.
"We're alright," she said. "We're still a little jumpy about certain sounds, but we're alright."
Police Make Arrest After ‘Skinhead’ Allegedly Punches Black Man, Shoots His House
Yakima Police Probe Use of Patrol Car to Stop Armed SuspectBy The Yakima Herald-Republic
Yakima police are investigating whether an officer was justified in hitting a fleeing suspect with his patrol vehicle late Sunday night.
Officer Thomas Tovar, an eight-year YPD veteran, was placed on administrative leave for one day while investigators examined his vehicle as part of the investigation, Capt. Gary Jones said. Tovar was expected to be back on duty Tuesday night.
The department is conducting a review of the incident to deter-mine if department policies were followed, as well as whether there are grounds for criminal prosecu-tion, which Jones said is routine in use-of-force investigations.
Jones said he could not com-ment directly on the case as it is
under investigation. But Jones did say officers sometimes have to use less-orthodox means to bring a suspect into custody.
"Use of force is not limited to the tools on an officer's belt," Jones said. In the case of a flee-ing felon, Jones said using a pa-trol car to stop an armed suspect may be a safer alternative to en-gaging in a gunfight.
Tovar was one of several of-ficers who went to a report of a robbery at Tacos El Rey, 1218 S. Sixth St. Arriving officers saw two men wearing hoodies with their faces partially covered run from the store, according to court records.
Man Dies While Hiking in North CascadesBy The Skagit Valley Herald
A 19-year-old Kent man died last week while hiking near
Wing Lake.The lake is in east Skagit
County near where the Okano-gan and Chelan county lines.
The man, identified as Luis Angel Moreno, was with at least one other person Wednesday when he apparently fell from Black Peak, according to a news release from the Skagit County Sheriff ’s Office.
Morales’ friend hiked from Black Peak until he found a group of campers. He asked for their help in calling for assis-tance, the release states.
The campers activated their personal locator beacon, and one of the campers hiked out of the area to get help.
The Skagit County Search and Rescue team, along with the National Parks service, attempt-ed to locate Morales that day, but were not successful.
The recovery effort resumed Thursday, the release stated.

DECISION: Judges Rule on Case Involving Arrest of Homeless Southwest Washington Man
By Jessica Prokop and Patty Hastings
The Columbian
A homeless man staying in a makeshift shelter had an ex-pectation of privacy under the Washington state Constitution
— just like people in traditional homes — when police peeked inside his dwelling. That’s the finding of a Washington Court of Appeals opinion that was pub-lished in part Tuesday and could have broader implications on privacy rights for the homeless.
The decision affirms a Clark County Superior Court judge’s 2015 ruling that Vancouver po-lice officers violated William R. Pippin’s privacy rights when they looked inside his tarp, despite him being camped illegally in downtown Vancouver.
Pippin was subsequently charged with methamphetamine possession, but his case was dis-missed after Judge Scott Collier granted the defense’s motion to suppress the drug as evidence, because Pippin’s privacy rights were violated.
However, the appeals court also ruled that Pippin’s case should be remanded to Superior Court after reversing part of Col-lier’s ruling. In the unpublished portion of the opinion, the ap-peals court found that Collier used the incorrect legal standard for determining whether exigent circumstances of officer safety justified them looking inside Pip-pin’s dwelling without a warrant.
Pippin was arrested Nov. 2, 2015, and charged with meth-amphetamine possession after the officers contacted him about camping in public past the lawful time. Officers had pulled back his tarp entrance to look inside when he didn’t come out right away and heard him rustling around inside. In doing so, they saw some pack-aged methamphetamine.
Pippin’s defense attorney, Chris Ramsay, argued that al-though his client was camping
illegally, officers still violated his Fourth Amendment rights when they looked inside his dwelling.
Tuesday’s decision does not analyze the Fourth Amendment, which looks at whether an indi-vidual’s expectation of privacy is reasonable. The appeals court instead analyzed the state’s con-stitution on privacy protection.
Ramsay said Pippin is still homeless, and if he’s called to court later, Ramsay has no idea how to reach him.
‘You Have Rights’
Doug Honig, spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington, which weighed in on the case, said the organization is “pleased that the court agreed that the constitu-tion applies to everyone.
“It doesn’t matter whether your home is a tarp and a couple of poles or a huge mansion, you have constitutional rights,” he said.
A pair of attorneys with the ACLU submitted an amicus brief last year addressing the constitutionality of entering and searching someone’s makeshift shelter, as well as the case’s im-pact on privacy rights for people experiencing homelessness. Se-attle University School of Law’s Homeless Rights Advocacy Proj-ect, the Seattle-based publica-tion Real Change, and the Van-couver-based homeless advocacy group Outsiders Inn were also named in the brief.
Adam Kravitz of Outsiders Inn was in downtown Vancouver the day police were contacting people camping around Share House, a men’s homeless shelter. Kravitz’s organization later be-came involved in another lawsuit about seizing homeless people’s personal property. Kravitz said he, too, is pleased to hear that the issue of privacy rights for home-less people is being understood and analyzed.
“This is very good news,” he said. “I think we’re finally mak-ing some headway on a really im-portant issue.”
He noted that the decision comes at a time when the nights are getting colder and hundreds
of people on the streets are going to need shelter.
“I believe that Washington state can be the leaders on chang-ing homelessness rights,” Kravitz said. “All citizens have rights and we need to help them.”
Broad Implications
Adam Gershowitz, a profes-sor at Virginia’s William & Mary Law School, called the issue of privacy protection for the home-less “unchartered territory.”
“I applaud the idea that (the Washington Court of Appeals) found (privacy protection) under the state constitution,” Gershow-itz said, adding that “state courts are free to take a more expansive interpretation under their state constitution.”
And although he said he’s no expert on Washington’s Con-stitution, he’s not surprised that the appeals court interpreted its state constitution on privacy protection more broadly than what the Fourth Amendment provides. But as a matter of the Fourth Amendment, Gershowitz said it’s hard to say if the court’s decision is right.
The homeless may have an expectation to privacy but that doesn’t mean society views it as reasonable, Gershowitz said. If a person doesn’t own or rent the space they are on, he said, then they are not entitled to be there, especially if it’s on public land.
“I wish we had more services for (the homeless),” Gershowitz said.
“But at the end of the day, they don’t
have a reasonable expectation (to privacy) when they can be moved from the spot by an officer.”
It’s likely that this decision will have broader implications in the state of Washington, Gershowitz said, and it suggests that the home-less have rights in other contexts when they put up quasi-dwellings.
In its opinion, the appeals court found that Pippin’s dwell-ing afforded him fundamental activities, such as “sleeping un-der the comfort of a roof and enclosure” and gave him some separation from the rest of the world. The court also found that the “temporary nature of Pip-pin’s tent does not undermine any privacy interest.
“Nor does the flimsy and vul-nerable nature of an improvised structure leave it less worthy of privacy protections. For the homeless, those may often be the only refuge for the private in the world as it is,” the opinion reads.
A previous case cited in the opinion found that “the tradi-tional home is not the only place in which a person should have privacy protection.”
The court determined that Pippin did not voluntarily ex-pose his personal information to public scrutiny but acknowl-edged that some people may ar-gue he did so by choosing to live in a tent on public land.
“Against this backdrop, to call homelessness voluntary, and thus unworthy of basic pri-vacy protections is to walk blind among the realities around us. Worse, such an argument would strip those on the street of the protections given the rest of us directly because of their poverty. Our constitution means some-thing better,” the panel wrote.
Collier said in a phone inter-view that under the facts of this case, he felt Pippin had an expec-tation of privacy and acknowl-edged there are possible broader implications from the appeals court’s decision.
“It gives some guidance to other courts that may have to wrestle with this issue but is still case-fact specific,” he said.
He declined to go into specif-ics about the future of the case,
regarding the warrantless search and protective sweep element.
‘A Solid Ruling’
Ramsay, Pippin’s defense at-torney, said he is happy that the court sided with Collier on the privacy issue.
“I always knew in my heart of hearts that legally that was a very solid ruling by Judge Collier. The way the transient population is these days just because they’re poor and don’t have anything doesn’t mean they don’t have the same privacy rights as everybody else,” Ramsay said. “They have a right to go into an enclosure for privacy to get a night’s sleep or not have to deal with people.”
Deputy Prosecutor Rachael Probstfeld with the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s appellate unit said she does not yet know if the office will seek review of the appeals court’s decision by the state Supreme Court.
‘Trial Court Erred’
In its brief on appeal, the prosecution argued that “the trial court erred in finding Pippin had a reasonable expectation of pri-vacy in a tarp structure on public property located on the side of a road between a guardrail and the fence of a private property.
“No reasonable person would have an expectation of privacy in a location where he is openly committing a crime on public property during daylight hours,” the prosecution wrote in its brief.
City Prosecutor Kevin Mc-Clure reflected on how the ruling would impact the way Vancouver police officers go about entering somebody’s makeshift shelter.
“The court’s decision was pretty clear that it may require a warrant,” McClure said. “I think that’s a fairly narrow situation for most police officers to be in.”
Typically, he said, when po-lice ask to talk with people who are inside tents or tarps, people often just do what the officer says. It’s just like when a police offi-cer knocks on the door of some-body’s house; most times those people just open the door and re-spond to the officer, McClure said.

This man deserves a raise now and then, he takes on many cases in Lewis County, not just Hank the dog case. This man has a family too and bills to pay just like the rest of us who hold jobs whether we are in the media or not. $138 more a month is not really that much to do anything ex-tra special with. Take a look at yourselves people, are you proud of the words and accusations coming out of your mouths about this man? You all make me sick. You are the ones causing more strife to that poor dogs life than you care to admit. Opening your big mouths on social media caus-ing a ruckus with your hurt feelings. Do something useful with them, go hold a sign, go stand in court with the family, write to the ones in charge. On here you are just sounding like a bunch of bullys.

I would be interested in knowing how many of these boys who were abused went on to abuse others follow-ing their “release” from this institution. I know first hand of at least 5 instances where a former resident abused (both physically and sexually) other children after having lived there. The horror of this case and these circumstances goes FAR beyond just the boys who lived there. Big payouts for the victims..... What about THEIR victims?

• Story: County Commissioners Express New Desire to Reorganize Staff,
Create Manager Position
USERNAME: TruthCanHurt
Hire from ‘within’...you must be joking!! You tell me whom from within has at least an MPA degree and 8-15 years experience in county government (preferably in WA)? This is the type person you need for this position. I cannot think of anyone. Steve Walton is the closest you get. How-ever, I doubt he has an MPA and he certainly does not have 8-15 years overseeing a county government. I do not say this to diminish Steve. He is an intelligent, capable and as-tute professional. However, even if he is in the running for such a challenge, a proper hiring process would dictate considering all eligible applicants. LC Commissioners have been shortsighted in the past when they consider filling positions. In one case, the Risk Manager’s position was not even advertised to see what applicants might be more qualified than the ‘inside’ applicant. Further, prior hiring is not a proper and legal hiring procedure for government hir-ing. Commissioners, open your mind and consider all quali-fied parties.

which he said would reveal that the suspect admitted to victim-izing “hundreds” of people and that he had in his possession 900 explicit images. Meyer said the boy referred to himself as a “predator” and created social media accounts under aliases to commit sexual extortion.
The Chronicle does not name suspects charged in Lewis County Juvenile Court.
A hearing on the prosecutor’s motion is scheduled for Oct. 24.
THE 16-YEAR-OLD suspect has no previous criminal history.
Administrators at the Cheh-alis School District first became aware of the allegations a year ago, according to a statement from the district, after a parent reported their child was being
“victimized online.”The parent reported the is-
sue to law enforcement and the FBI got involved last year.
In June, the Chehalis School District, the Chehalis Police De-partment and the FBI confirmed to The Chronicle that the federal agency was investigating reports that a teenage boy in at least one case posed as a female student in order to solicit explicit photos from a male student.
As they investigated, more victims came forward.
Rickie Anders, a probation officer and representative of Lewis County Juvenile Court, joined Meyer Tuesday in ask-ing Superior Court Judge Joely O’Rourke to order the suspect taken into custody at the juve-nile detention center in the in-terest of community safety. The teen appeared out of custody at the hearing with his parents.
“I’m not confident we can properly supervise him,” An-ders said.
Meyer added to that senti-ment, arguing that internet ac-cess is so widely available that
the teen could get online even through a smart TV unless con-stantly monitored.
“We do know he used other people’s WiFi,” he said.
Anders noted that the teen is accused of creating multiple social media accounts to target fellow students. At one point, a victim and the victim’s mother both asked him to stop, but in-stead he allegedly created more accounts under aliases, she said, referring to the the suspect’s ac-tions as “sextortion.”
“It’s also concerning that, ac-cording to reports, he admitted to hundreds of victims,” she said.
Anders told O’Rourke that Lewis County Sheriff ’s Office Det. Sgt. Kevin Engelbertson, who worked with the FBI in investigating the case, reported that the teen referred to himself as a “predator.”
However, the teen’s attorney, Jacob McGhie, asked for his cli-ent to remain in his parents’ cus-tody, saying they would super-vise him adequately.
“Since the allegations were uncovered, about eight months have elapsed,” he said. “There’s been no indication of any addi-tional problems.”
O’Rourke granted Meyer’s request, saying that she believed the teen represents a threat to community safety.
“Whether or not the state waited eight months to charge it … Mr. Meyer’s correct, there’s just no way to supervise this,” she said. “It’s extremely con-cerning to me he is at the same school as the alleged victim.”
Meyer expressed frustration with the Chehalis School Dis-trict for not taking action to sep-arate the suspect and at least one alleged victim who he shares a class with. Meyer estimated 10 to 12 possible victims are fellow students.
“I am appalled by the lack of response from the Chehalis School District,” he said.
Chehalis School District Su-perintendent Ed Rothlin told The Chronicle in an interview
after the hearing that the school district was not given any direc-tion regarding separating the suspect from victims.
“Everything you’re telling me is brand new news to me,” he said regarding information about Tuesday’s court hearing.
“It’s my understanding we have a phone call in to the prosecutors.”
The school district has poli-cies in place if a student is ac-cused of a crime in which an-other student is a victim, he said.
“The easy answer is immedi-ately when we find out about it we turn it into the police and we follow their direction,” Rothlin said.
The Chehalis School Dis-trict issued a statement to The Chronicle Tuesday afternoon. It states the FBI informed the dis-trict this spring that the suspect was a W.F. West student.
“The FBI directed the district to take no action, so as not to interfere with the investigation,” the statement reads. “We fol-lowed the FBI request.”

and the state Department of Ecology.
“The historic implications are a bit overwhelming,” super-visor Bobby Jackson said. “I’m looking forward to see how ev-erything pans out as we move forward.”
Jackson, along with fellow county commissioners Edna Fund and Gary Stamper, serve as supervisors for the district.
The selected dam design was one of three options ear-lier presented to the board. The expandable version includes a flood retention dam that only has a reservoir during flooding events, but is built on a larger foundation to support future ex-pansions into a flood retention and flow augmentation dam that would create a permanent reservoir.
The dam selected has 65,000 acre-feet of storage. The esti-mated cost of the first phase of construction is between $339
million and $484 million. The second phase has an estimated cost between $179 million and $266 million.
The advisory committee to the flood control zone district recommended the expandable dam prior to the vote by the su-pervisors.
Jim Waldo, the project man-ager, said that although the supervisors selected their pre-ferred alternative, that doesn’t necessarily mean that will be the final outcome of the process.
The Army Corps and Ecol-ogy will still evaluate all the op-tions on the table.
“They will look at other al-ternatives, but since you set it out as a preferred alternative it’s their starting point for analy-sis,” he said. “They’ll compare it against the purpose and need and look at the context of how it stacks up.”
Prior to the decision, the board of supervisors toured the site of the proposed dam in late September. An open house on the options was also held in Pe Ell this week.
“We are hopeful we can begin
to get the permitting in place so we can begin to go to work on a problem that has obviously been here for many, many years,” Jackson said.
Jackson thanked his pre-decessor, Commissioner Bill Schulte, for the work he put in on the project to get it to this point.
“This was one of his passions … I am thoroughly honored and blessed to be a part of this at this stage of it — the historical part of it — but have to give credence to Mr. Schulte for all of his hard work,” he said.
Fund, who is also on the Chehalis River Basin Flood Au-thority and the state-level Of-fice of Chehalis Basin, said the partnerships that have formed through the various flood-fo-cused groups are a good sign for the future.
“We made a lot of progress in these years,” she said.
Stamper agreed.“The only way you are going
to solve anything in my opinion is getting people in the room, asking questions, talking to them, finding out what the is-
sues are and how we can resolve and work together to get the project finished,” he said.
Vic Khvoroff, a rancher from Randle, complimented the su-pervisors for moving forward to address the issue, but urged them to reach out to the citizens who would be required to con-duct mitigation projects on their land so that they would not face the same issues he has on the Cowlitz River.
“When we build a dam there is going to be mitigation for the construction. You know that, we all know that, because of envi-ronmental degradation, so we have to provide environmental mitigation,” Khvoroff said. “… I encourage you folks to have that specified out in detail for you
and give that information to the public, the people who are ac-tually going to be affected by it and have to give up their prop-erty for something like this.”
Khvoroff had to give up a portion of his land for a bank stabilization project along the Cowlitz River so he knows the struggles that might be ahead for some of those living near the Chehalis River.
“I think that’s a fair request for the people that live down here. I realize this is me and it doesn’t affect you, but it’s going to be the same issue I had up there, and I don’t want to see my neighbors down here have the same problems that I have,” he said.

COWLITZ BASIN FLOOD CONTROL ZONE DISTRICT CONTINUES WITH BASIN NEEDS ASSESSMENT
In a separate meeting of the Cowlitz Basin Flood Control Zone District, work continued to gather information for a basinwide needs assessment.
Kirk Holmes, with the consulting firm Perteet, said a study conducted in 2001 will be analyzed and updated as the planning work continues.
“It’s a really good starting point for the upper Cowlitz Basin,” he said.
that a 55-year-old Lakewood man left his residence acting er-ratically and armed with a pistol.
The man was identified Wednesday as Daniel James.
A Thurston County deputy found the man’s vehicle in a parking lot at the Lucky Eagle Casino.
The man reportedly exited his vehicle with a pistol and ap-proached the deputy. He alleg-edly refused the deputy’s orders to drop the weapon.
The deputy fired his service weapon and struck James sever-al times, according to the Thur-ston County Sheriff ’s Office.
Aid crews were dispatched and the man was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia where he was later pro-nounced dead.
The deputy was not injured. “The Casino and Tribe are
focused on the safety of the guests, casino employees and the community,” according to a statement on the Lucky Eagle Casino’s Facebook page. “Tribal Police, casino security and the Thurston County Sheriff ’s De-partment are working together in the investigation and we will have further comment when we are able to share more informa-tion.”
The incident is being investi-gated by the Region Three Criti-cal Incident Investigation Team, composed of law enforcement officers from Lewis, Mason, Grays Harbor and Pacific coun-ties. The Lewis County Sheriff ’s Office has been designated as the lead agency for the investiga-tion.
“If one of the counties in the region 3 has an incident occur
they can activate the team — resources from the other four counties come to investigation the incident and the home agen-cy stays out of the investigation,” said Chief Deputy Dusty Breen of the Lewis County Sheriff ’s Office. “That way there’s impar-tiality.”
The Lewis County Sheriff ’s Office will act as lead agency, but detectives from Mason, Grays Harbor and Pacific coun-ties are also working on the in-vestigation, which will focus on
the shooting and events leading up to it, but will not investigate policies and procedures of the Thurston County Sheriff ’s Of-fice.
“The role of the team is to look at any criminal elements that could be involved in the in-vestigation,” Breen said. “We’re looking at the criminal element by anyone involved.”
After the critical incident team is finished, the home agen-cy, in this case the Thurston County Sheriff ’s Office, can do
their own investigation on “in-ternal processes,” Breen said.
In an interview with The Olympian Wednesday, Thur-ston County Sheriff John Snaza said the shooting was a tragedy.
“How horrible is that for the family and the deputy that went through that?” he told The Olympian. “I’m sorry it hap-pened … where there were a lot of civilians trying to enjoy the night, and we had to be involved in something like this.”
Breen told The Chronicle in-
vestigations such as this typical-ly take three to four weeks. John Snaza’s twin brother, Rob Snaza, is the sheriff in Lewis County, but Breen said no special steps would be taken in the investiga-tion because of that connection, according to The Olympian.
In Washington, an officer is only guilty of using deadly force when prosecutors prove the offi-cer acted with malice and with-out good faith, The Olympian noted.

which occurred in the past few days. A resident reported he re-turned to find a speaker box and two pellet guns stolen. It is un-known how the suspected bur-glar gained entry, as all of the windows and doors at the prop-erty were still locked.
The case is under investiga-tion.
Man Suspected of Bringing Controlled Substances Into Jail
• At 2:50 p.m. on Tuesday, deputies responded to the Lew-is County Jail after receiving a report that an inmate was in possession of unauthorized pre-scription medication including Suboxone. The suspect, identi-
fied as Rodney S. Creech, 26, of Chehalis, had recently turned himself in to the state Depart-ment of Corrections on a war-rant and was booked into the jail. He told deputies he hid the controlled substances on his person in preparation for a three-day jail sentence on his DOC violation, according to the sheriff ’s office. He was rebooked into the jail on a charge of viola-
tion of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act.

‘CATS EVEN THE SLATE
<< W.F. West Tops Tiger Booters 4-1 ... See S4
By Aaron VanTuyl
The Wolves, for the past few seasons, have been something of an underrated team — stuck in a conference with often-ranked W.F. West and always-ranked Tumwater, they’ve managed to fly a bit under the radar.
Which is all to say they’re a constantly dangerous opponent.
“They’ve definitely got an identity. They’re like a spread-out team, but they’re all about running the football,” W.F. West coach Bob Wollan said. “They’re physical. They’ve got these big kids on their offensive line, fast guys on the perimeter, and bal-ance in their offense. … It’s not like they do a lot of things, but they really do put you in conflict.”
The No. 8 Bearcats head to Tumwater District Stadium on Friday night to face Black Hills (4-2) in an Evergreen 2A Confer-ence showdown. W.F. West has won eight of its last nine match-ups with Black Hills, with five shutouts and a 24-21 loss in 2015.
This year’s edition of the Wolves have, if nothing else, kept things close. Aside from a 35-7 loss to Timberline on Aug. 31, Black Hills has gone 4-1 with a 9-6 loss to Evergreen and four wins by 6 points or less, includ-ing a 26-20 overtime win over Centralia.
They’re coming off a 13-7 win over Aberdeen in which ju-nior running back Taylor Sim-mons (5-foot-9, 165 pounds) ran 11 times for 158 yards and both touchdowns. Quarterback Ethan Loveless has been another stand-out, running for 83 yards and passing for 166 in the Centralia win, while running back David Tuson ran for 85 yards and two scores in the same game.
The Bearcat staff broke down 300 of the Wolves’ offensive plays and found a near-perfect run-pass balance, Wollan said.
“They have this tremendous balance, so they’re a real tough team to defend,” he said. “And really good at running the foot-ball.”
Loveless, however, suffered a leg injury in the second quarter and did not return to the game.
The defense, meanwhile, has given up 15.8 points a game over the last five outings.
“They’ve really hung their hat on their defense,” Wollan said.
“They don’t give up a lot of big plays, and they’re just a really solid program.”
The Bearcats’ defense has been even more solid, giving up 13.3 points a game this year. They improved to 2-0 in league play with a 54-20 win over Aber-deen in Week 6.
Wollan said Ka’imi Henry, who ran for 101 yards and two touchdowns against the Bobcats, was a particular bright spot.
“It’s the first time in three or four weeks he really felt good, and I thought he really showed a burst last week,” Wollan said.
“And then defensively we weren’t

SWAMP CUP: W.F. West Falls Behind 2-1 in Sets, 13-11 in Fifth Set but Rallies for 3-2 EvCo Win Over Centralia
By Matt Baide
W.F. West was down two sets to one, and then down 13-11 in the final set, but managed to come back in both situations to earn a 3-2 win over Centralia in an Evergreen 2A Conference ri-valry volleyball match in Cheha-lis on Tuesday.
The Bearcats won for only the second time in league play against Centralia in the last 11 years.
“My girls showed a ton of heart, especially being down. We get that first one, that high ener-gy, and then back to back losses to them, a lot of teams would check out but my girls have prov-en to me time and time again that they’re there,” W.F. West

As the season goes on, the picks get easier — to the point that none of our esteemed panel members missed more than two games on last week’s 14-game board. The two standouts were season-long runners-up Matt “Hellooooooo” Baide and Purveyor of Whimsy Jordan Nailon, who managed to work three farm-related puns into the headline and subhead of his most recent crop report. Baide and Nailon both went 13-1, whilst Sports Editor Aaron VanTuyl had an off week at 12-2 and Eric Schwartz, who shrieks out his picks while flailing his arms, had the best week of his career at 12-2. Guest Kyle Sprague, ball-and-chained to a homer pick of Roches-ter over W.F. West, was also 12-2. This week’s guest is David Lorton, shown here in a 2011 file photo that only looks as if it were taken in a jail. Lorton attended nine schools in his six-year prep athletic career and can currently be found coaching various sports in Napavine, working a day job somewhere and occasionally driving for the online automobile service Uber. He also enjoys fishing, video games and hot takes.

Rochester at Centralia
The Warriors are making their second straight trip to the Twin Cities on Friday night, this
time to face the Tigers in an EvCo matchup in the Hub City.
And Rochester is a much dif-ferent team than the squad Cen-tralia beat 42-6 a year ago.
“They’re vastly improved from last year. Their new coach (John Moorhead) has done a pretty good job with them,” Centralia coach Jeremy Thibault said. “They don’t have the num-bers, but they played Chehalis pretty hard and physical the whole time.”
The Warriors (2-4) lost to W.F. West, 54-20, last Friday, with quarterback Bryce Lol-lar running for 60 yards and a touchdown and passing for 169
yards and two scores. “He runs well, and he’s pretty
athletic,” Thibault said of the 6-foot junior signal-caller. “Any time, running that option, you can take a beating — and he’s stayed in there and played. He just jumps up and calls another play.”
Both teams are looking for their first Evergreen 2A Confer-ence win. The Tigers (1-5) are coming off a 49-7 loss to No. 4 Tumwater.
“They were so good, and strong, and well-coached, there was no positive points,” Thibault said. “We just stressed, especial-ly to our young kids, the game
wasn’t lost Friday. It was lost five years ago in the weight room. They were really strong.”
The Tigers will welcome se-nior lineman Ryan Jensen back to the field, but lost defensive back Blaine Wass to a collar-bone injury and have been short three starters this week due to the flu.
Centralia and Rochester kick off at 7 p.m. Friday night at Tiger Stadium.

Tenino (1-4) looks for its first 1A Evergreen League win at Elma (2-4). … No. 3 Napavine

RIVALS: Lauren Tornow, Courtney Bennett Each Score Twice in W.F. West’s 4-1 EvCo Win Over Tigers
By The Chronicle
Lauren Tornow and Court-ney Bennett notched a pair of goals apiece, and W.F. West avenged its season-opening Ro-tary Cup loss with a decisive 4-1 win over rival Centralia on Tues-day night in the Hub City.
The Bearcats scored four un-answered goals over the game’s
last 52 minutes to earn the Ever-green 2A Conference girls soccer victory. Centralia had won the teams’ first matchup — the non-league Rotary Cup trophy game
— by a 5-4 margin back on Sept. 5.
“I think that it was a good re-flection of how much we’ve im-proved over the year, from our first game to the 11th game,” W.F. West coach Allen Anderson said.
“The first game we gave away a lot of breakaways to their sneaky forwards, and this game I don’t think we had a single breakaway.”
The Tigers, though, struck
first, with Alayna Miller assist-ing Ana Ulrigg on a goal in the 31st minute.
Tornow tied things up in the 38th on an assist from fresh-man Madi Mencke, and Bennett nailed a penalty kick in the 51st minute to give W.F. West the lead.
Tornow struck again in the 63rd minute, on an assist from Becca Deskins, and Bennett wrapped the scoring with an un-assisted goal in the 71st minute.
The midfield — led by up-perclassmen Bennett and Kiara Steen — did a sound job of con-
trolling the pace of the game, Anderson said.
“(They’ve) done a fantastic job all season long,” Anderson said.
“They do a really good job of be-ing leaders on the field and step-ping up in big games.”
W.F. West got off to a slow start, he added, but a halftime pep talk helped settle the team down.
“We came out a little bit ner-vous. The younger girls were playing a little timid in the first half, I thought,” Anderson said.
“The adjustments we made to our formation a couple weeks ago
really benefitted us, keeping the goals-against way down.”
Taya McCallum — the only sophomore in a defensive line featuring three freshmen — was another standout, he added.
“She had a really good game, stepping up and winning the ball in front of her mark numer-ous times,” Anderson said. “She’s been really improving over the season and taking ownership back there.”
W.F. West (4-7, 3-3 league) plays at Tumwater on Thurs-day. Centralia (6-5-1, 2-4 league) hosts Rochester on Thursday.

Lady Blazers Sweep South Puget SoundBy The Chronicle
Centralia made quick work of South Puget Sound on Wednesday, as the Blaz-ers earned a 3-0 win in an NWAC West Region vol-leyball match in Centralia.
All three sets were close, but the Blazers won each 25-23, 25-21 and 25-22.
Autumn Durand led Centralia with 22 kills and eight digs. Peyton Tim-mons recorded 46 assists, and Kary Sathre added sev-en kills and six digs.
Centralia (14-8, 3-4 re-gion) hosts West Region leading Lower Columbia in Centralia on Friday.
Centralia Outlasts Gators
AUBURN — Centralia and Green River battled for five sets, but the Blazers prevailed 3-2 in an NWAC West Region volleyball match here on Friday.
Autumn Durand led the Blazers with 21 kills and 10 assists. Peyton Timmons added 44 assists, Skylah Kunihisa added 14 digs and Nicolle Duryea led the Blazers with 22 digs. Alexus Howard-Johnson recorded 19 kills for Cen-tralia.
Green River won the first set, 25-17, but Centra-lia bounced back to take set two, 25-21. The Gators came right back to win set three, 25-18, but the Blaz-ers responded once again with a 25-20 fourth set win to force a fifth set. It was a close fifth set, but Centra-lia won 26-24 to win the match.
COUVA, Trinidad — The longest, most arduous journey for a U.S. national soccer team in a generation was stopped just short of the finish line Tuesday, with Trinidad and Tobago deal-ing the Americans a crushing 2-1 upset just minutes before both Panama and Honduras won their final qualifiers.
The U.S. started the day needing only a draw to reach its eighth consecutive World Cup. Instead, the three results com-bined to drop the Americans to fifth in the six-team CONCA-CAF tournament, ahead of only Trinidad.
“I never thought I’d see this day,” said Omar Gonzalez, who hadn’t been born the last time the U.S. missed soccer’s biggest event.
“It’s the worst day of my ca-reer,” continued the former Los
Angeles Galaxy defender, whose first-half own goal was the dif-ference between the U.S. going on or going home. “I don’t even know how to put into words what I’m feeling.
“We let down an entire nation today.”
Mexico, Costa Rica and Pan-ama advance directly to next summer’s tournament — Pana-ma with a controversial 2-1 win over Costa Rica — while Hon-duras, with a 3-2 victory over Mexico, qualified for a two-leg intercontinental playoff with Australia next month with an ad-ditional berth on the line.
The U.S., meanwhile, ends its qualifying campaign one point shy of the World Cup.
“We had everything there for us today,” coach Bruce Arena said. “No excuses. We should not be staying home from this World
Cup. And I take the responsibil-ity for this.”
Arena was hired last Novem-ber, after the U.S. opened quali-fying with consecutive losses under Jurgen Klinsmann. That left the new coach with eight games to rescue the program and though he lost just two of his 18 games in charge, both came in World Cup qualifiers — at home to Costa Rica last month and Tuesday in Trinidad.
“We didn’t qualify for the World Cup,” Arena said. “That was the job, to get us to qualify for the World Cup.
“We failed.”The last time the U.S. went to
the final day of qualifying with its World Cup status uncertain was 1989, and that game was also played in Trinidad. That one ended more happily for the Americans, though, with Paul
Caligiuri’s first-half goal before a packed house in Trinidad’s na-tional stadium climaxing a Cin-derella run that took the Ameri-cans to their first World Cup in 40 years.
Until Tuesday, they hadn’t missed the tournament since.
But Caligiuri’s goal also eliminated Trinidad, which had needed only a draw to advance to the World Cup _ and the Soca Warriors haven’t forgotten that.
The rematch didn’t have near the atmosphere, though. Trinidad’s soccer federation said electrical problems made the na-tional stadium unusable, so they moved the game to a tiny 10,000-seat track stadium in Couva, about an hour south of Trini-dad’s capital. And the stadium was nowhere near filled.
It didn’t take long for Trini-dad to show the U.S. this wouldn’t
be its day. Arena, breaking from his usual practice of rotating his lineup, started the same 11 play-ers he used last Friday in a rout of Panama and the team came out flat. Trinidad, with nothing but revenge to play for, was flying.
Shahdon Winchester ap-peared to put Trinidad up in the fourth minute, easily beating U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard, but the goal was waved off because Win-chester was offside.
Thirteen minutes later Win-chester was back — this time well onside — and when Alvin Jones targeted him with a cross, Gonzalez stepped in front and the ball struck him in the shin, bounding over Howard and into his own goal to give Trinidad a lead it never gave back.
“One of the most unlucky goals ever,” Gonzalez said. “It’s one that will haunt me forever.”

John Stanton, a lifelong Mari-ners fan, saw the team from a different perspective this
season. He was named, in April, as the organization’s CEO, a task with both perks and frustrations.
“It was the first time I was in this role, and it was more per-sonal,” he said Wednesday during a ca-sual question-and-answer session with reporters at Safeco Field. “I went to about as many games as last year, but the highs are higher and the lows are lower when you’re here.”
The lows ultimately prevailed. Injuries were an obvious fac-tor, but there was a sense, with a month remaining, the team had overcome adversity and was poised for a playoff run.
“I love that we battled,” said Stanton. “I love the way the coaching staff and the players hung with it. In the end, I’m disappointed in the outcome. I think we all are — everyone in this building and the guys who’ve gone home.
“It was painful. We expected to be in the playoffs and we’re not. We’ve got the Cubs-Nats game on TV downstairs, but it’s a little hard to watch the playoffs.
“I thought we were going to make a run in late August, par-ticularly when we got James Pax-ton and Felix Hernandez back. I thought there was going to be some magic — it was going to happen — and it didn’t.”
Despite the failure to estab-lish traction down the home stretch, Stanton insisted he’s
“thrilled” with the work of gen-eral manager Jerry Dipoto.
“The goal was to get younger and more athletic,” said Stanton.
“And we got younger and more athletic.”
If you’re looking for a tem-plate about how the Mariners will proceed toward 2018 and beyond, it’s steeped in the trade that brought shortstop Jean Se-gura and outfielder Mitch Hani-ger to Seattle last November.
Segura, 27, signed a mid-season contract extension that will keep him under club control through 2023 — the same year that Haniger, 26, will be eligible for free agency.
“The typical player ends up starting at 24, then goes through six years of club control,” Stanton pointed out. “Sometime in his early 30s we’ll see that the abili-ties tend to decline. The com-pensation goes up at the time the
ability starts going down. It’s not a good formula.”
Stanton’s definition of a bet-ter formula?
“If we can sign and control players that are with us through their early 30s,” he said.
Stanton also addressed a vari-ety of off-field topics.
— Safeco Field will be not be known as Safeco Field after 2018, but the process to identify a new naming-rights sponsor for the ballpark is ongoing.
— Safety nets that protect fans from foul balls will be expanded next season, although to what extent remains unclear. Stanton noted he’s taking notice on how other clubs are confronting fan-safety issues.
— The CEO generally sup-ports the World Baseball Classic tournament linked to the kind of pitching ailments that sidelined free-agent pitcher Drew Smyly
for the entire season. But he believes timetable adjustments regarding WBC pitchers are in order.
— Stanton welcomes the pos-sibility of NBA and NHL fran-chises turning Seattle into a more crowded pro sports market, and he’s anxious to learn what Chris Hansen plans to do with the real estate Hansen acquired in his failed attempt to build an arena in the Safeco Field Stadi-um district.
— The grass surface at Safe-co Field, intact since the park opened in 1999, is in the process of being replaced. The symbol-ism of the Mariners playing on a newly installed lawn next spring spring has not gone unnoticed.
“There’s a metaphor in that,” Stanton said on a mid-October afternoon he found it difficult to watch his favorite sport on TV.

KALAMA — Napavine couldn’t get anything going here on Wednesday night, fall-ing to Kalama 3-0 in a Central 2B League girls soccer match.
Kalama got on the board in the 9th minute on an own goal. Emily Mickelson scored in the 60th and 62nd minutes to help seal the win for the Chinooks.
“They were not on their
game tonight, they were in a funk that they couldn’t shake loose,” Napavine coach Emily Boettcher said. “They couldn’t calm down and connect their passes, they seemed really amped. We’re going to try to look past it.”

Goodell: ‘We Believe That Everyone Should Stand for the National Anthem’By The Seattle Times
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell issued a memo to the NFL on Tuesday, urging players to stand for the national anthem.
Hundreds of players have knelt during the anthem this season, including several Se-ahawks players, in an effort to bring exposure to racial injus-
tices in America. The Seahawks, however, all stood during the an-them on Sunday to show respect for the 59 people killed during the mass shooting in Las Vegas last week.
Seahawks defensive lineman Frank Clark indicated players are likely to resume sitting dur-ing the anthem.
“We are just going to continue to bring awareness to that and chance to enlighten the situa-tion that is so dark. I feel like just doing it in a positive manner,” Clark said after Sunday’s 16-10 win in L.A.

CHICAGO — The Washing-ton Nationals can feature this event on their 2018 promotional calendar: the Stephen Strasburg bobblehead doll, featuring a springy caricature of the pitcher popping up from a sick bed.
In Nationals lore, this game will simply be known as the Strasburg game. The pitcher that the Nationals had said was too ill to pitch effectively saved his team’s season. The pitcher be-littled across the country for his alleged reluctance to pitch while ill saved his reputation.
Sick? We should all be so sick.With the Nationals facing
elimination, Strasburg sneezed and coughed, put up his germy hand in the faces of the Chicago Cubs, and just said no.
He pitched seven of the most dominant innings you will ever see, soaring above the elements of mist and cold and rain, let-ting the Nationals ride him to a 5-0 victory on Wednesday. The Nationals managed an unearned run and nothing more until Mi-chael A. Taylor hit a grand slam with two out in the eighth inning.
And so the series will extend to a fifth and decisive game in the series, Thursday in Wash-ington. The exhausted winning team then will fly from coast to coast, opening the National League championship series Saturday at Dodger Stadium, against Clayton Kershaw and the rest of the rested Dodgers.
Strasburg struck out 12, flashing a fastball that hit 96 mph and an unhittable change-
up. He gave up three hits. In 14 innings in this National League division series, he has not given up a run, and he has struck out 22.
He set the franchise record for strikeouts in a postseason game in Game 1, then broke it in Game 4. He joined Bob Gibson and Sandy Koufax as the only pitchers with 10 or more strike-outs twice in a postseason series.
Strasburg took the mound in short sleeves, an almost defiant gesture when the temperature at
game time was 59 degrees and the wind whipped at 15 mph. He had taken antibiotics and intra-venous fluids for several days.
The Nationals had an-nounced Tuesday he would not pitch, without disclosing his condition. Washington manager Dusty Baker said only that Stras-burg was “under the weather” and that there was “mold in Chi-cago,” prompting some fans to wear face masks to Wrigley Field on Wednesday to protect them-selves from the purported civic mold menace.
Strasburg did pitch, of course, after Strasburg had taken what the Nationals said was a new drug, and after he had endured national questions about his for-titude.
His first pitch was a fastball at 95 mph, so he had his velocity. His curveball was darting, his change was remarkable.
He struck out two batters in the first inning, three in the third, three more in the fourth, three in his seventh and final inning, when he skipped off the mound after 106 pitches.
Cubs starter Jake Arrieta, limited to 10 innings over the final month of the season be-cause of a hamstring strain, did not look anywhere near the part of the $200 million pitcher he hopes to play in free agency this winter.
Arrieta needed 90 pitches to complete four innings, his stuff effective but his control erratic. He walked five of the 20 batters he faced, and his wild pitch put the Nationals in position to score.
Trea Turner started the Washington third with a double, the first hit of the series for the Nationals’ leadoff batter. Arrieta bounced a wild pitch, enabling Turner to take third base, and he scored from there when short-stop Addison Russell misplayed a ground ball by Ryan Zimmer-man.
Jon Lester, the Cubs’ $155 million ace, followed Arrieta to the mound for the Cubs and de-livered 3 2/3 shutout innings.
Lester can throw to home plate with precision, but he can barely complete a throw to first base. He made one pickoff throw during the regular season.
But, with Zimmerman danc-ing far off first base in the eighth inning, Lester made two pickoff throws — the first on a bounce, the second wide of the bag. How-ever, Zimmerman was so far off the bag that Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo could contort his body, corral the wide throw and tag out Zimmerman.
The sellout crowd gave Lester a warm standing ovation. It re-mains to be seen whether there will be any further ovations at Wrigley Field this season.

place vote, one third-place vote, four fourth-place votes and two votes for fifth place. Saquon Bar-kley, Penn State’s running back, is the leading Heisman Trophy candidate. Stanford running back Bryce Love is second and Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield is third.
Yahoo! Sports ranks the con-tenders in the same order. USA
Today’s survey ranks Falk fourth, too, with one voter giving him a first-place vote.
Sports Illustrated’s most re-cent ranking of the top of 5 can-didates does not include Falk.
Luke Falk has completed 188 (most in the nation) of 262 passes (second) for 2,000 yards (third), 19 touchdowns (first) and two interceptions this season, despite
missing part of the Sept. 9 game against Boise State. His comple-tion percentage of 71.8 is fifth best in the country.
The last time a WSU player finished in the top 10 on the Heisman ballot was 2005 when running back Jerome Harrison was ninth after rushing for 1,900 yards for the 4-7 Cougars. Run-ning back Rueben Mayes was
ninth in ‘84.WSU quarterbacks have his-
tory of finishing high on the final ballot. Jason Gesser was seventh in 2002, Ryan Leaf was third in ‘97, Drew Bledsoe was eighth in ‘92, Timm Rosebach was seventh in ‘88 and Jack Thompson was ninth in ‘78.
The Cougars (6-0, 3-0 Pac-12) play next on Friday night at 7:30 at California (3-3, 0-3).

Falk Rewriting WSU’s Record Book, Climbing Toward Top of Heisman Polls
By Adam Jude
The Seattle Times
Like everyone else, Wash-ington offensive coordinator Jonathan Smith was stunned this week when he learned of Gary Andersen’s abrupt departure as the Oregon State coach.
Smith first heard of Anders-en’s exit from Washington coach Chris Petersen, who had learned the news midway through his press conference Monday.
“I don’t know Gary that well,” Smith said Wednesday. “I’ve met him a couple times, knew a lot of people that know him and have a great deal of respect for him. So it was shocking to see that all play out.”
Smith was a standout quar-terback at Oregon State from 1998-2001. As a senior, he led the Beavers to a share of the 2000 Pac-10 championship (with UW and Oregon) and a victory over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl.
Some in Corvallis see Smith as an obvious candidate to re-place Andersen. Multiple media reports have not only linked Smith to the vacancy but also UW co-defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake, who is viewed by many as one of the rising young assistants in college football.
Smith, 38, in his fourth sea-son as the Huskies’ coordinator
and quarterbacks coach, said he is only focused on UW and its next opponent, Arizona State.
“I’ve got a great job here, a great place, and I really don’t know what it’s like down there,” Smith said, adding: “It’s flat-tering. Obviously I’ve got great memories there and whatnot, but I’ve got an extreme focus on us and these next couple of practices. I thought we prac-ticed really well today, and the Sun Devils present a challenge. And we’ve got a lot of things go-ing, so it’s a huge game Satur-day.”
UW’s Azeem Victor Says He’s Healthy, Happy to Help the Team Any Way He CanBy Adam Jude
The Seattle Times
Finally, Azeem Victor was back. Back to form. Back to pun-ishing. Back in control in the middle of Washington’s defense during the Huskies’ victory at Colorado two weeks ago.
And then he wasn’t again.Since he sustained a broken
leg against USC last Novem-ber, it has been a tumultuous 10 months for the senior middle linebacker.
By April, he was back on the field for the Huskies, running at near full speed.
This summer, he was named a preseason All-American by The Associated Press.
Then, less than a week before the start of the season, Chris Pe-tersen announced Victor would serve a one-game suspension for the season opener at Rutgers.
Victor started the next four games for the No. 5 Huskies, and at times again looked like the Huskies’ most valuable defensive player against Colorado on Sept. 23. He had a team-high 10 tack-les that night, including his first sack of the season.
But then, in Saturday’s vic-tory over Cal, Victor didn’t make his first appearance on defense until the the Bears’ third posses-sion of the game, late in the first quarter. Junior Ben Burr-Kirven got the start at middle linebacker, and Victor was the third wheel in the rotation with Burr-Kirven and senior weak-side linebacker Keishawn Bierria.
Burr-Kirven leads the Hus-kies with 40 tackles this season. Bierria and Victor each have 19 tackles.
“The guy that’s playing (well)
gets rewarded,” UW defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski said after the Huskies’ 38-7 vic-tory over Cal.
Also, part of the game plan for Cal, Kwiatkowski explained, was he wanted Victor coming off the edge as a pass-rusher. That’s a role Victor said he welcomes.
“Our D-coordinator said he wants a little more on the edge, so I’m just trying to help out in that position as well,” Victor said.
“It’s been pretty good. Just com-ing down on third down.”
Petersen said Monday that Victor is healthy. Victor, in his first interview since the start of the regular season, was asked Tuesday if there’s been a transi-tion period for him coming back from such a devastating injury.
“No,” he said. “I put on a little bit of weight. But besides that, just getting back in the groove of things. I think that’s probably the biggest thing for me.”
He was asked “how hard” it’s been to get back to form.
“It really hasn’t been hard,” he said. “You’ve just got to stick to it. You just have to learn from your experiences and keep mov-ing forward, and that’s what I’ve been doing.
“Just focusing on being here right now,” he added, “and do-ing whatever I can for the team to help out.”

Stephen Strasburg, Nationals Force Deciding NLDS Game 5 With Win Over Cubs
By Ryan Lewis
Akron Beacon Journal
CLEVELAND — The hopes of a dominant run through the postseason. The potential, glori-ous return to the World Series. The climb up the proverbial mountain that just barely elud-ed them a year ago. All of those dreams severed, much sooner than many hoped or even ex-pected, at the hands of the Evil Empire.
The Indians had their dream scenario set up for a win-or-go-home Game 5 situation. They
had ace Corey Kluber on the mound. They were at home. The bullpen was rested.
Didi Gregorius, CC Sabathia and the New York Yankees laid waste to that plan, as the Indians fell 5-2 in Game 5 of the Ameri-can League Division Series on Wednesday night at Progressive Field.
It ends the Indians’ postsea-son run. The Yankees will ad-vance to the American League Championship Series to face the Houston Astros. The Indians will pack up their bags and head home for the winter, falling well
short of many fans’ hopes and expectations for a return to the World Series, as this time they entered October as the favorites.
After holding a 2-0 series lead, the Indians failed to close out the Yankees three times.
Kluber will likely win the American League Cy Young Award as the most dominant pitcher in the AL this season, and particularly since June 1. His ALDS, though, was anything but stellar. After struggling in Game 1, Kluber was hit hard again Wednesday night.
As the energy at Progressive
Field built prior to first pitch, Gregorius quieted it, belting a solo home run in the first inning to quickly put the Indians down 1-0. Two innings later, Gregorius did it again, driving a two-run home run to right field to extend the Yankees’ lead to 3-0, the Yan-kees’ dugout erupting amid a si-lenced sellout crowd.
Kluber’s night was ended in the fourth inning. In his two starts in the ALDS combined, he threw 6 1/3 innings and gave up nine earned runs on 10 hits.
As Gregorius tormented Klu-ber, Sabathia cruised through
the first four innings, only allow-ing one hit. The Indians finally broke through in the fifth with the bottom of the lineup.
Austin Jackson and Jay Bruce both singled to put two runners on. Roberto Perez followed with a bloop single to right field to score Jackson. Giovanny Urshela, the No. 9 hitter, then shot a sin-gle to right field to cut the Yan-kees’ lead to 3-2.
After the 8-9 hitters came through with one out, Fran-cisco Lindor couldn’t follow suit, grounding into a 6-3 double play to end the inning.
Yankees’ Didi Gregorius’ Two Home Runs Down Indians to End Postseason Run
Sports 6 • The Chronicle, Centralia/Chehalis, Wash., Thursday, Oct. 12, 2017
The flannel patchwork of the maples reveals that it is past time to stop slaying kings
and start chasing bucks.In the afternoon pumpkin
patches on the outskirts of town are overrun with seasonal revel-ers. Orange gourds are surveyed, selected, and ceremoniously scalped. Freshly eviscerated with jagged windows to the world they jockey on front porches to become the replacement heads for the mid- night calvary of decapitated horsemen.
As night falls droplets of dew reflect the twinkling of the heavens while a single shooting star blazes a witch’s path beyond the soft edge of a pollen yellow harvest moon. Cornrows bow their heads in the dark as coyotes howl at the shad-ows of scarecrows. Underfoot, fickle fungus fruits and spoils. Rinse with rain, and repeat.
In the beating heart of the old forest slabs of gnarled bark reveal stories we don’t know how to read and yet our minds man-age to perceive anyhow. A hir-sute caterpillar curls up in fear. A greasy black crow caws to its scattered murder. A frayed leaf pinwheels in silence to the floor from which it sprang.
In the darkest hours before the dawn the scent of smolder-ing woodstoves permeates the air. Warm leather. Sweet tobacco. Black coffee. Morning’s doves clear their throats and flutter incognito from their perches. In the waning moments of night’s safety net earthworms wiggle their way back underground. Belching owls head back to the barn as an overzealous rooster root-a-roos from the rooftop.
In the wave of dawn’s first light a piercing shot rings out from across the distance. We do not know, but like a shrieking freight train whistle in the dark, our minds manage to perceive the age old story that it tells.
FISHIN’
It’s official silver season on area waterways from the Hump-tulips to the Elochoman. While kings are still hanging around, many of them are getting long in the tooth and beginning to show their less desirable colors. Coho on the other hand are just hitting their stride and the future looks bright for anglers with a pen-chant for collecting silvers.
Last week at the Cowlitz Salmon Hatchery separator crews recovered 2,402 adult coho, 742 jacks, 498 adult fall Chi-nook, 19 jacks, four adult spring Chinook, 16 summer steelhead and 18 cutthroat trout. Out on the water last week the WDFW sampled 33 bank anglers down-stream of the I-5 Bridge with a haul of five adult coho and one released Chinook and two chum, while 11 boat rods kept two adult coho and released two adult Chi-nook and two adult coho. Up-river 73 bank anglers kept seven adult coho and one jack, and re-leased 25 adult Chinook, 11 jacks, two adult coho and four cutties. Four upriver boat rods had no catch to report.
Rumor out at the old fly shop on the Kalama River Road is that
the old free flowing river has got a good mix of coho and kings in it right now with the run moving upstream from the mouth. Fly fishers are said to be poised to strike a wide legged pose and let a river run through it.
WDFW sampling on the mainstem Lewis River showed five boats with no catch. How-ever, fish were biting up on the North Fork where 26 bank an-glers kept four adult oho and 13 boat anglers kept four adult Chi-nook, a jack, and two adult coho.
On the lower Columbia Riv-er last Saturday officials tallied 457 boats and 156 bang anglers targeting salmonids between Tongue Point and Bonneville Dam. Off of Washougal boat an-glers averaged 0.56 Chinook and 0.15 coho per boat while anglers farther downriver between Van-couver and Cathlamet averaged 0.24 Chinook and 0.23 coho per boat. Bank anglers in that same stretch caught 0.07 coho per an-gler. From October 1-8 anglers on the lower Columba made an estimated total of 10,288 fish-ing trips and caught about 2,573 adult Chinook, 23 summer steel-head and 895 coho.
Willapa Harbor is said to be awash in silvers this year and those fish are starting to move up into coastal tributaries in greater numbers. Of course the Willapa RIver is getting its fair share of attention but the Bone and Nema rivers are also worth a spin, troll, or plunk.
The silver scene is picking up on the Chehalis River as well. The bulk of the bite is still hap-pening downriver from Elma but as the rains continue to pick up in frequency and ferocity those fish are slowing working their way upriver. Right now the odds are best from the Satsop on down but soon boats will be slinking around the bends at Porter as the fish bolt toward the Skookumchuck.
Trout stocking efforts have slowed considerably with the
change of the season. The only local effort in the last month was In Thurston County at Munn Lake which was planted with 275 rainbow trout weighing more than a pound each on Oct. 4.
HUNTIN’
After a week in the woods early muzzleloader season for elk will come to a close on Fri-day and will then start up again in Western Washington at vari-ous times throughout Novem-ber, depending on the area. Lo-cal units with high success rates include 505 (Mossyrock), 506 (Willapa Hills), 510 (Stormking), 516 (Packwood), 520 (Winston), 550 (Coweeman) and part of 524 (Margaret). Due to extreme hoof disfiguration in area elk hunters are required to sever the lower leg sections and leave them be-hind at the kill site. Any hunters who observe a lame or limping elk are encouraged to report the sighting to the WDFW.
General season for black-tailed deer will get started on Saturday, Oct. 14, and continue through the end of the month. Meanwhile, eastern Washington hunts for white-tailed deer and mule deer will begin on the same day and continue through Oct. 24 or Oct. 27, depending on the area. Some of the most popular, and successful units, are right here in southwest Washington, including GMUs 530 (Ryder-wood), 501 (Lincoln), 520 (Win-ston), and 550 (Coweeman).
Out in the rough and tumble the fall bear season will contin-ue through Nov. 15 and cougar hunts will be allowed at least through Dec. 31.
Duck, coot, and snipe hunt-ers will have a short window to shoot through from Oct. 14-18. Those seasons will then pick back up from Oct. 21 through Jan. 28. Goose hunting will also get off the ground on Oct. 14 with the length of the particular season varying depending on
the area. Early season hunters typically have success along ma-jor watersheds like the Columbia and Chehalis rivers. In Washing-ton the Canada goose population is estimated to be up 17 percent from last year and mallard num-bers are thought to up by 74 per-cent. Goose hunters in Cowlitz, Grays Harbor, Pacific, Wahkia-kum and Clark counties are re-quired to pass an identification course for Dusky Canada geese, which are off limits to hunting in Goose Management Area 2.
Forest grouse and crows are still open statewide and mourn-ing doves will remain in the crosshairs through Oct. 30. The ever-popular general pheasant hunt in Western Washington will continue through Nov. 30. Those hunts are allowed from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. each day and hunters are held to a daily two bird limit and a possession limit of 15 birds. The California quail, standard quail and Northern bobwhite seasons in Western Washington will also continue through Nov. 30.
Fall turkey hunters have until the end of October to bag a gob-bler in GMUs 101-142 but GMUs 145-154 and 162-186 will close to turkey hunting on Oct. 13.
Bobcat, fox, raccoon, cot-tontail rabbit, snowshoe hare all open through March 15, and of course, coyotes are fair game all year round.
CLAMMIN’
Last week’s season opening clam tides drew a strong turnout on Washington’s coastal beaches and most diggers walked away with their limit of the succulent bivalves, although the process was said to be laborious across the boards.
Stiff winds on Friday evening made the opening day particu-larly difficult as hoods and buck-ets went flying and the tell-tale clam pockmarks were blown flat, making the clams even harder to find. Reports from the front-line claimed that the clams were good size on average but they were spread out in wide swaths across the beach rather than in the dense pockets that have revealed themselves in banner years past.
The next tentative round of clam digs are set for Nov. 2-5. Confirmation on those digging dates is dependent upon marine toxin test results.
Razor clam digs proposed through December are listed be-low, along with evening low tides and beaches:
Daylight Savings Time• Nov. 2, Thursday, 6:03 p.m.;
0.1 feet; Copalis• Nov. 3, Friday, 6:47 p.m.; -0.7
feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks
• Nov. 4, Saturday, 7:31 p.m.; -1.2 feet; Long Beach, Twin Har-bors, Copalis
Pacific Standard Time• Nov. 5, Sunday, 7:16 p.m.;
-1.4 feet; Long Beach, Twin Har-bors, Mocrocks
• Dec. 1, Friday, 4:42 p.m.; -0.3 feet; Copalis
• Dec. 2, Saturday, 5:29 p.m.; -1.1 feet; Long Beach, Twin Har-bors, Mocrocks
• Dec. 3, Sunday, 6:15 p.m.; -1.6 feet; Long Beach, Twin Har-bors, Copalis
• Dec. 4, Monday, 7:02 p.m.; -1.8 feet; Long Beach, Twin Har-bors, Mocrocks
• Dec. 31, Sunday, 5:12 p.m.;
-1.2 feet; Long Beach, Twin Har-bors, Copalis, Mocrocks
So far there have been no digs proposed at Kalaloch Beach and officials say that it’s likely there won’t be any this fall or upcom-ing winter. That’s because there is a mystery unfolding on the Olympic Peninsula coast.
Coastal shellfish manager Dan Ayres explained that the beach at Kalaloch has been ex-periencing dramatic razor clam population shifts over the last few years that have puzzled sci-entists. While he says it’s too early to know for sure, Ayres says there is suspicion that hungry gray whales are swarming the beach at high tide and pulveris-ing the sand in order to feast on the clams.
“We started getting calls at the end of July from folks saying there’s something weird going on. There are gray whales working at high tide right on the beach in water you’d never expect to see a gray whale,” said Ayres.
Ayres says he has even inves-tigated the scene himself and came away with a grainy cell-phone photo of whales squirm-ing on their sides in the shallow surf with one fin stretched out in the air in the apparent act of feeding. One report told of about four dozen whales apparently feeding along one coastal section at one time. Just what exactly the whales are eating remains a mys-tery though since scientists have so far been unable to obtain a sample of whale feces that would put the matter to rest.
While he readily admitted that there is no rock solid proof yet, Ayres says the hypoth-esis seems to hold water. “What could they possibly be eating ex-cept these clams?” asked Ayres.
This summer a juvenile gray whale even made the news when it became stuck on the beach near Kalaloch. A multiple day rescue effort ultimately freed the animal but the occurrence has fueled a suspicion that the hungry whales could be behind the massive fluctuations of clam populations along the Olympic Peninsula coastline.
“If it is gray whales that’s not a bad thing, they certainly have to eat too,” said Ayres.
Ayres noted that there are currently no proposed clam digs at Kalaloch Beach for 2017. “I think it would be a little bit pre-mature and shortsighted to open it up too soon,” he explained.
In Washington all clam dig-gers age 15 and older are re-quired to have an appropriate fishing license. The daily limit is 15 clams and diggers are re-quired to keep the first 15 clams they dig regardless of size or con-dition. Additionally, each digger must keep their own clams in a personal container.
In a press release Ayres noted that throughout the 2017-18 ra-zor clam season, a research team from the University of Maryland will be out on the beaches look-ing for volunteers to participate in a survey about razor clam consumption and harvesting practices. Additional informa-tion on the study can be obtained by contacting Lynn Grattan at 877-668-4559 or [email protected].

Keeping Wildlife Wild: City-Dwelling Raccoons Don’t Need Handouts From HumansBy The News Tribune
Raccoons may be cute and smart, but they aren’t pets.
Normally, these masked critters avoid human contact and are most active at night, rather than in daylight.
Still, it’s not uncommon for city dwellers to encounter rac-coons in daytime, most likely
because they’ve learned to as-sociate people with easily acces-sible sources of food. If you see raccoons appearing to beg from passersby in a park or along a roadside, curb the urge to give them a handout.
Instead, help keep the furry animals wild. Raccoons are intelligent and adaptable, said Mary Krauszer, Point Defiance Park ranger, so if people stop making food readily available the animals will find it else-where.
Tacoma is laced with gullies, ravines, creeks and wetlands
that are perfect raccoon habitat: places where raccoons read-ily sustain themselves. They naturally gravitate to sources of water. Left to their own devices, they consume all kinds of plants and animals: bugs, slugs, birds, eggs, clams, crayfish, frogs, fish, snails, nuts, seeds, fruits, even squirrels, rats and mice.
Krauszer said raccoons’ sen-sitive paws allow them to feel prey at low tide or in standing water. Because their back feet can rotate 180 degrees, they can climb down tree trunks head first, unlike cats. Plus,
they make an impressive array of noises, from chittering and clicks, to squeaks and grunts. But perhaps their most signifi-cant characteristic is the ability to problem solve and learn from experience. In short: they don’t need help from humans.
Feeding wildlife in Tacoma parks is also against the law. It encourages unnatural animal behavior and leads to over-population. In the case of rac-coons, it also poses health risks. Raccoons carry diseases easily picked up by both people and pets.
Raccoons frequently bite people who feed them. The bites can cause very serious in-juries and lead to medical eval-uation for rabies. Children can pick up roundworms through contact with raccoon feces. An-other potential problem is ex-posure to leptospirosis bacteria, which can cause a variety of hu-man health problems, including death. Leptospirosis in raccoon urine contaminates water and soil where kids may play.

First Clams of the Season

Adna High School students Jake Eko, 16, and Jadyn Jimenez, 15, pose for a
photo at Twin Harbors on Friday after digging the season’s first razor clams.
Even if people don’t deliber-ately feed raccoons, the critters may raid unsecured garbage cans, pet food left outdoors, open compost piles, and greasy barbecues.
“Raccoons are not going to magically disappear from cit-ies,” Krauszer said. “However, homeowners can protect their property by raccoon proofing it as much as possible and limit-ing access to food sources.”
The state Department of Fish & Wildlife’s Living With Wildlife website offers a wealth of information about ways to avoid conflicts with raccoons and keep them wild. The site in-cludes tips about how to protect
poultry, gardens and orchards, and keep raccoons out of po-tential den sites in and around homes. The site also touches on trapping and lethal controls.
In the city, a neighborhood-wide effort may be required to avert a nuisance in the making. Because even if you get rid of all the stuff that might other-wise lure a raccoon into your backyard, the effort may be futile unless neighbors do the same.
Moving problem raccoons is not an option: it’s against state law. Besides that, Krauszer said it could introduce disease into unaffected raccoon populations and result in territorial con-flicts between animals.
Unfortunately, it’s no secret that despite the prohibition, people do relocate raccoons. Krauszer has witnessed the ef-
fects in Point Defiance Park. “I saw two very small baby rac-coons literally left on the side of the road,” she said. They prob-ably did not survive, but if they had they would have added to the park’s artificially inflated raccoon population, also likely a consequence of human hand-outs.
So if city dwellers quit offer-ing inducements to deviant rac-coon eating habits, we can keep the raccoons wild, even in the city.
“When it comes to urban wildlife, we are responsible for learning to live with the ani-mals who make their home in the community,” Krauszer said.
“We are all responsible for get-ting to know the plants and ani-mals that live here and how we can live with them rather than fight against them.”
Snow Starting to Close Mount Rainier RoadsBy Craig Hill
The News Tribune
It’s time to start checking road conditions before head-ing to Mount Rainier National Park.
For the second time this week, the park has closed roads to its highest tourist attrac-tions because of snow. The park tweeted Saturday night that Ste-vens Canyon Road and the road from Longmire to Paradise are closed because of snow. Park of-ficials plan to reopen the roads Sunday morning if conditions permit.
In fall, winter and early spring, the status of the road above Longmire is typically an-nounced each morning on the
parks’ Twitter feed. Most of the park’s roads close for the winter in late October or November.
Estimated closure dates are Oct. 23 for Mowich Lake and Paradise Valley roads; Oct. 27 for Sunrise Road; Oct. 30 for Stevens Canyon and White River roads; Nov. 6 for West-side road; and Nov. 20 for state routes 410 and 123.
On Oct. 1, the park closed the road to Sunrise because of snow.
The National Weather Ser-vice’s forecast for Paradise pre-dicts a chance of morning snow on Sunday morning before sun-ny skies from 11 a.m. through Monday with temperatures ex-pected to max out at 48 degrees. A chance of snow is predicted for the remainder of the week. The forecast is similar for Sun-rise.

GET OUTSIDE: Access to Olympic Hot Springs Has Reopened; Check Out the Autumn Beauty at Hurricane Ridge and the Quinault Valley
By Christy Karras
The Seattle Times
OLYMPIC PENINSULA — Every hiker has a to-do excursion list, and Olympic Hot Springs had long been on mine. But I’ve been thwarted for years, as riv-ers and rainstorms kept washing out the road to the trailhead and bridges along the trail.
After years of fits and starts, both the trail and the road re-opened in mid-August, just in time for a fall hike. Which is per-fect timing, because the Olympic Peninsula is one of my favorite destinations once summer ends.
Thinner national-park crowds and cooler weather com-bine with an abundance of well-maintained trails, many at low elevation. Fall offers other high-lights: This is prime mushroom-gathering time (if you know what you’re doing), and it’s easy to spot wildlife as critters move out of the highlands to gorge them-selves for winter.
Here are three hiking desti-nations for autumn:
Olympic Hot Springs
The hike to the springs, on a wide trail, is pleasant and gener-ally easy. On a recent sunny Sep-tember weekday, it wasn’t very crowded, either. Two or three people occupied each of a half dozen or so hiker-made pools on a tree-covered slope. To get there, we’d crossed a new log bridge over Boulder Creek that replaced a knocked-out suspension bridge whose off-kilter anchors still cling to the hillsides.
One of my fellow foot-soak-ers was Bob Stohler, who’s seen plenty of human activity — both positive and negative — over many visits from his home on the Kitsap Peninsula. “I’ve been coming up here for 30 years. It’s changed a lot, but the soak is still good, and the hike in is still good,” he said.
Many of those changes are results of careless human tram-pling. Leave the place better than you found it: Pack out every-thing you bring in with you and avoid disturbing the area around the pools. National park officials warn that the water quality is not monitored and may contain bacteria (if you need a bathroom, there’s a privy at the nearby campground). Also, some visi-tors consider the springs cloth-ing-optional.
Because the access road is paved all the way to the trail-head, albeit occasionally rough or very narrow, the trail is popu-lar throughout the year. For a low-elevation alternative, stick to trails at the bottom of Olym-pic Hot Springs Road, such as the Smokey Bottom trail. It travels 3.8 miles (round trip) along the edge of former West Lake Mills, now an ongoing restoration ex-periment.
Visit the Glines Canyon Spill-way Overlook, where exhibits
describe the dam removal there. Part of the old spillway still hangs eerily over the canyon.
Hurricane Ridge
You don’t want to be there during a windstorm, but on quiet autumn days, Hurricane Ridge can be an island of peace. On a recent visit, I saw mother deer and their fawns traipsing across golden hillsides, rabbits diving into the bushes, and innumer-able birds. Despite a few clouds, views from observation points stretched all the way to Vancou-ver Island, across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, on one side and to glaciers of the Olympic peaks on the other.
One bonus the ridge offers:
Many trails leaving the main parking areas are paved, which means they’re still in good shape during or after rain.
I drove west from the main parking area to the Hurricane Hill trailhead and climbed across the flank of the namesake hill on the 3.2-mile (round trip) paved trail, enjoying expansive and ever-changing views of tree-decorated grassy slopes and val-leys all the way, thinking how nice it was to walk all the way on such a good surface.
The on-site visitor center (open 9 a.m. — 5:30 p.m.) has information and toilets, though the snack bar there is open only through Oct. 15. Once the snow flies, usually at the end of Octo-ber, the road closes until the win-
ter season begins in December, when it’s open on weekends and holidays for snow sports.
Quinault Valley
Although this part of the park gets plenty of rain in the fall, it’s a verdant time of year, and well-maintained low-elevation trails make a hike possible any time. Mushrooms abound here in the fall. You might get lucky and see Roosevelt elk, or at least hear bu-gling as they gather in the river valleys to find mates and gorge themselves.
Many short hikes leave the Lake Quinault Lodge area on the lake’s south side, includ-ing one to the world’s largest Sitka spruce and another to the
world’s largest western red cedar. One of my favorite longer trails, the Pony Bridge trail, heads up into the hills along the Quinault River. Hike gradually uphill for 2.5 miles, crossing three charm-ing log bridges en route. Admire the view at the final bridge and then turn around (or keep going as far as you feel). In fall, you may see salmon struggling upriver to their spawning grounds. Kids might find giant banana slugs just as fascinating. The trailhead (Graves Creek) is at the end of a gravel road that’s usually in de-cent condition.
After you hike, eat where President Franklin Roosevelt did in 1937, in the lodge dining room (open for breakfast, lunch and dinner year-round).

IF YOU GOA national-parks pass or
proof of park entry payment is required at trailheads within the national park. The multia-gency America the Beautiful pass is good at both national parks and national forests.
• Pets are not allowed on trails in the national park.
• Bring waterproof footwear, since water can run across trails, especially near hot springs and after rain. Watch forecasts and always go pre-pared for changing weather in autumn, including rain or early snow.
• Don’t approach wild animals. If you see mountain goats, rangers recommend waving, yelling and throwing rocks to encourage them to avoid humans.

coach Emily Mora said. “They’ve got each others’ backs and that’s where you start to see magic kind of happen and that excite-ment and packing the crowd. That’s all people want to come and see — the heart, the passion, the hard work.”
W.F. West’s Makenzie Moore recorded 19 kills and 21 digs, and Ashlyn Whalen also added 21 digs. Ashlee Vadala tallied nine kills and 17 digs, and Megan Pal-las had five kills and four blocks for the Bearcats.
Kylie Sharp led Centralia with 21 digs, and Rachel Wilk-erson added 17 digs and a team-high 15 kills. Chelsea Petrino tallied 12 kills and 14 digs and Mckenna Smith and Joelle Met-tler each recorded six kills for the Tigers.
The Tigers are still a bit too inconsistent, according to coach Neil Sharp.
“After we got a little shell-shocked in that first set, we settled in and played the way that we know we can play in the second and third sets,” Centralia coach Neil Sharp said. “Then we let off the gas in the fourth set and it cost us. We let W.F. West hang around the whole set and they got the last couple points there at the end.”
The Bearcats jumped out to an 8-2 lead in the first set, and eventually winning 25-11.
“We had to just reset and worry about controlling our side of the court. We were a mess de-fensively and offensively that set, but I’m glad the girls were able to bounce back in the second and third,” Sharp said. “One of the things that we talked about is we’ve got to make sure we’re pre-pared to win that first set. This is the third match in a row where we’ve laid an egg coming out of the gate. That’s a challenge to them if they want to stop giving away matches.”
Centralia responded in the second set with a tidy 25-10 win. The third set was closer, but the Tigers were in control the whole way and won 25-18, prompting Mora to rally her team before the fourth set.
“We want to be a team that recovers quickly from mistakes,” Mora said. “We want to be a team that fights hard even if the stakes
are down and things don’t seem like they’re going right. I think the girls proved that we’re mak-ing huge strides towards that.”
The Bearcats took that mes-sage and rallied in the fourth set to win 25-23 and force a fifth set. The fifth set was tight, with neither team gaining more than a two-point lead. The Tigers had the 13-11 lead, but four straight
points from the Bearcats gave the hosts the win.
W.F. West (5-4, 3-2 league) has a day to recover before wel-coming defending state cham-pion Tumwater to Chehalis on Thursday. Centralia (13-6, 2-3 league) is on the road again on Thursday, facing Rochester in an EvCo match.

Timberwolves Put Away Adna in FourBy The Chronicle
MORTON — The Timber-wolves held on in a tough third set to beat Adna, 25-17, 14-25, 29-27, 25-22, here Tuesday night in Central 2B League volleyball action.
Carly King led Morton-White Pass with 14 assists, 13 kills and five aces, and Taylor Hazen add-ed nine kills and served 11 for 11.
Hazen also provided solid passing throughout the match, MWP coach Tammy Kelly pointed.
Belen Salguero and Delanie Hannah each had five kills for the Timberwolves.
“The girls just kept their head up and just kept pushing,” Kelly said. “There was a lot of good volleys that went on for both sids, and the girls just stayed focused.”
Morton-White Pass (4-5, 3-3 league) plays at Toutle Lake on Thursday. Adna (3-7, 2-4 league) plays at Wahkiakum on Thurs-day.
Onalaska Tops ToledoTOLEDO — Toledo took the
first set, but Onalaska won the
next three to earn a 3-1 win in a Central 2B League volleyball match here on Tuesday.
The Indians won the first set, 25-21. Onalaska battled back to take the second set 25-22, and needed extra points in the third set, but won 26-24. The Lady Loggers dominated the fourth set 25-15 to win the match.
Toledo’s Kendle Odom had six digs, Rylie Pliler recorded seven kills and Shy-Anne Hill to-taled five digs and four back-row kills.
Onalaska’s Alicia Vint had 17 assists and was 10/10 serving, Eryn Duryea added 13 kills and Dakotah Fuller chipped in nine blocks and served 100 percent. Keiley Fickett came off the bench for the Lady Loggers and served 8 of 8.
“I felt like the Ony girls played flat the first few games. We only really focused on our offense,” Onalaska coach Terri Dalsted said. “They pulled it together and played all aspects of the game in the fourth set and really came back with a big win.”
Onalaska (2-6, 2-3 league) travels to face Napavine on Thursday, while Toledo (0-8, 0-5 league) hits the road to face Rainier in a C2BL match.
Napavine Sweeps Defending State Champ Chinooks
KALAMA — Napavine made quick work of the defend-ing State 2B champions, defeat-ing Kalama 3-0 in a Central 2B League volleyball match here on Tuesday.
The Tigers won 25-20, 25-18 and 25-21.
Ada Williams recorded 14 assists and nine digs, Mollie Ol-son served 100 percent with five aces, eight digs and 14 kills, and Melissa Lee added 13 digs and 12 kills. Abbi Music chipped in 14 digs for the Tigers.
“I felt we played well. We did really well on defense. The girls defended the net well tonight, we had a ton of blocks,” Napavine coach Monica Dailey said. “We played smarter, the girls did a good job. We did make some mistakes due to miscommunica-tion, but that’s the only thing I could really complain about. Ev-erything else they did really well.”
Dailey also noted the defen-sive play of Maddie Thompson and the setting of Ashley Dickin-son in the win.

Falcons Kicker Bryant Has Back Injury, Meyer Signed to Practice SquadBy D. Orlando Ledbetter
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Falcons kicker Matt Bryant has a back injury and did not practice on Wednesday. Bryant had not previously been listed on an injury report.
Mike Meyer, who was with the team in training camp, was signed to the practice squad.
Bryant, 42, has made all nine of his field-goal at-tempts and all 11 of his ex-tra points this season for 38 points.

Coach Mark Few hoisting the West Regional trophy after GU clinched a spot in the Final Four. Few consoling tearful Ni-gel Williams-Goss in the closing seconds of the national champi-onship game.
Those are several enduring images of Gonzaga’s record-shat-tering 2017 season.
A memorable off-the-court snapshot: Twitter image of Prze-mek Karnowski holding an ax during the team’s preseason re-treat in the North Idaho woods.
The Zags last year had size, skill, experience and chemistry. The latter can’t be measured in a
box score but Gonzaga seems to have a solid track record when it comes to team bonding.
The dynamics change every season with a new roster, but the Zags tried to cultivate chemistry at their recent retreat.
“We made some nice strides with our role identification, what we’re all about for some of the new guys and just basically pull-ing together a little bit,” Few said.
To the relief of several upper-classmen, the retreat didn’t in-volve camping this time.
“We went ziplining,” senior forward Johnathan Williams said. “I don’t like that stuff, I’m not really that outdoorsy, that’s why I don’t like camping.
“We had to conquer our fears. A lot of people were really out of their comfort zone but when you do it with your teammates and brothers you feel more comfort-able and more confident. That’s what I got from it.”
“No camping this year,” said
junior point guard Josh Per-kins, sounding thankful. “That (ziplining) was scary. We did one that went 45-50 miles per hour. Whoa. Had some team talks, stayed the night, talked to each other. You never know what to expect from these guys, but it’s a great group of guys to be around. I can really call all of them my brothers.”
Corporations and teams from virtually every sport at every level utilize retreats to enhance team bonding, communication and trust through collaborative activities and tasks.
“We were in one of those rooms where you had to figure out how to get out,” Williams said. “Three groups of five in each group. We had to come to-gether, find a way and find out the clues. You couldn’t argue and you had to work together.”
The Zags played pickleball, which isn’t exactly in Williams’ wheelhouse.

If You Want to Get Away From It All Overnight, Seek Out Riverside Roads That Are Closed to Cars But Open to Bikes, and Get Yourself a Sturdy Bike and Trailer
By Jeff Layton
The Seattle Times
Sharing the outdoors with my 3-year old son has been one of my greatest joys as a father. Ian has been camping with us since he was just 2 weeks old and he’s continued to love sleeping outside as he’s grown older.
But as he has gotten bigger (and heavier) we’ve reached the point where backpacking just isn’t an option for our family. He’s too heavy to carry.
Necessity is the mother of invention, and last summer my wife, Amanda, and I started brainstorming ways we could achieve some of the upsides of back-packing and still bring our toddler with us.
One solution was to try a form of camping we had never considered be-fore: bikepacking.
Basically, we would take what we needed for a typical backpacking trip, plus a squirming little boy, and haul ev-erything for an overnight trip on moun-tain bikes.
The perfect campsite, it turned out, was waiting by a river in an abandoned campground near a washed out moun-tain road. And the experience was all I needed to become a believer that bike-packing could tide us over until Ian is old enough to hike with his own gear.
Gearing Up
We’re not advanced bikers by any stretch of the imagination. My moun-tain bike is a clunky relic from the 1990s and my wife’s bike is more of a cruiser designed for paved roads.
While many bike campers use an assortment of racks, saddlebags and panniers to hold gear, we simply used a bike trailer that we found on Craigslist. These trailers are popular even for those bikepacking without kids.
On our first outing, we put Ian into his seat and began loading sleeping bags, food and clothes around him. I was sur-prised at how much gear our little trailer would hold.
With a bit of help from some cargo straps, it soon gobbled up almost every-thing from my pack, and about half of what Amanda usually carries.
Sure, our son was a bit cramped, but
he had the easy job of kicking back and enjoying the ride.
Experienced bike campers with kids say you can expect to tow about 100 pounds, so you’ll need a sturdy bike that can handle that kind of stress.
Find a Road
Many online resources point bike-packers to state parks with ample camp-sites and roads where drivers are accus-tomed to bikers. But we wanted more solitude and decided to look for areas that would be free of cars.
Fortunately the Forest Service was kind enough to provide a perfect trail for us in the form of a closed road.
Every winter, storms ravage Forest Service roads, causing washouts and slides and knocking over trees that block access to vehicles. These roads are fre-quently left closed for a season or more as agencies wait for repairs.
For bikepackers it’s the chance to turn lemons into lemonade.
A quick online search turned up a promising option in Eastern Washing-ton that normally fed several camp-grounds. We drove to the closure and checked the signs carefully to be sure we weren’t putting ourselves in harm’s way. Sure enough, it was still open to people, horses and bikes.
With a sluggish trailer behind me, we knew we couldn’t travel up anything steep or bomb down single track. We needed a wide trail with a gentle grade, and the slow gradual incline was perfect for traveling, except for the occasional loose cobble and sand.
After a few minutes, we reached the cause of the closure. A washout carved a hole in the road that was too big for cars to safely pass, but our bikes could cruise around the hole without issue.
A short while later, we encountered a large downed evergreen spanning the road. Normally this would call for some chain-saw work, but we simply maneu-vered our bikes under it.
In a pinch our trailer can detach in seconds, and we can carry our gear across obstacles — much like the way you portage a canoe. But most of the time, two people can lift bike and trailer together.
Since that first trip, we’ve tried steep-er terrain, but have learned that roads following rivers or former railroad lines offer a nice consistent grade.
Find a Sweet Spot
It doesn’t take much to keep a toddler entertained in nature. All they need are a few
rocks and some water.One of the reasons we prefer camping
in national forests or on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land is because there are literally thousands of potential campsites. As a rule of thumb, if you’re in a national forest with an opening big enough for a tent and you’re not near a structure or private property, you’re al-lowed to set up camp. (Choose a camp-site on bare or compacted soil when possible, or areas that have already been established, avoid alpine meadows, pack out trash and properly dispose of human waste, the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest website advises.)
Typically, a mile or two of travel is all we need before promising campsites ma-terialize on riverbanks. Another upside: If we have serious mechanical issues, we can just walk our bikes out.
After an hour or two of sweaty bik-ing, Ian is usually ready to get out and play, so we find a nice secluded spot and spend the rest of the day splashing in a river, climbing the boulders like lizards and spying on the creatures that wander through our camp.
Best of all, when our toddler pitches a screaming fit in the middle of the night, there’s nobody around to care. The only apologies we have to make the next morning are to the birds and squirrels.
Vital to Check Before You Go
Roads are often closed for good reason. Before setting out, contact the nearest ranger station to see if the road
you’ve in mind is open to bikes and safe for your family (there may be wildfires, logging or impassable washouts). Ask about current conditions, good parking and if you need a parking permit such as a Northwest Forest Pass. On BLM lands you may need a National Parks and Fed-eral Recreational Lands Pass.

LAWNDALE, Calif. — I love spinning but it doesn’t always love me back.
So when I decided to try aqua cyling, an underwater spin class at the Motion Plus Aquatic & Therapy Center in Lawndale, it was more about giving my knees a break than getting my heart rate up.
The workout, originally de-signed as a therapy class for patients, is described as “a fine line between fitness and rehab” by instructor Criselda Esguerra, who is also a physical therapy aid at the center.
“It is low impact so anyone can do it,” says Esguerra. “And while it is a cycling class, I don’t focus on spinning alone but up-per body, back and core work as well as breathing and stretching.”
Class takes place in 4 feet of water on about eight bikes that are attached to the bottom of the therapy pool with suction cups.
Pedaling against the water inside the heated pool left me feeling relaxed and sleepy; not exhausted or sore. That might explain why Esguerra’s most popular classes are in the eve-ning. “The class is popular with insomniacs,” Esguerra says. An-other reason why aqua cycling is growing in popularity? Simple: It’s fun.
Aura
This is a humble physical therapy office, not a boutique gym. The class was a mix of women of various ages and sizes and abilities. Some were recov-ering from injury; others were taking the class to balance out other high-intensity workouts. One woman next to me, devot-ed to HIT classes, said the class had improved her flexibility, en-abling her to do squats for the first time in years.
Effort
The class feels like a restor-ative version of spinning rather than SoulCycle underwater. It doesn’t feel like you’re working out, but you are.
The buoyancy of the water makes difficult things easy and easy things difficult. Crunches, for example, done with your feet tucked underneath the bike’s handle bars, are a breeze while simple leg movements are re-duced to slow motion.
The support of the water feels amazing and helps with flexibil-ity, especially when it comes to
stretching.“It’s great for strengthening
and toning because you are do-ing cardio but strengthening your muscles at the same time,” says Esguerra. “A lot of clients have seen major results in the thigh area.”
Style
Class takes place to music in a 4-feet-deep pool that is heated to 86 degrees.
Esguerra, who teaches 15 to 20 classes per week, jumps in and out of the pool, and on and off the bike. The workout is 45 minutes and includes band work, traditional stand up spinning in third position, crunches and stretching. It took me awhile to get my pedal stroke down in the water, but once I got the hang of it I could feel myself working my muscles without any joint pain.

Dear Mayo Clinic: What causes gout? I have had one at-tack and am not on treatment but am watching my diet. Is it pos-sible that I won’t have additional attacks or need treatment for it, or is it likely to come back again?
A: Gout is a form of arthritis that happens when sharp par-ticles, called urate crystals, build up in a joint, causing severe pain, tenderness and swelling. As in your situation, treatment usually is not recommended after just one attack. But gout can come back. Being careful about what you eat may help prevent anoth-er gout flare-up. If it does come back, medication is available that can effectively control gout.
The urate crystals that lead to gout form when you have high levels of uric acid in your blood. Your body produces uric acid when it breaks down purines — substances found naturally in your body, as well as in certain foods. Uric acid usually dis-solves in your blood and passes through your kidneys into your urine. But sometimes your body either makes too much uric acid or your kidneys flush out too lit-tle uric acid. When this happens, gout is often the result.
Certain foods and beverages have been shown to increase the risk of gout attacks, including those that are rich in fructose, such as fruit-flavored drinks, non-diet soda and many pro-cessed foods. Seafood, fatty fish and red meat also are associated with increased risk of gout.
Drinking alcohol, especially beer, is a significant gout risk factor. Studies have suggested that drinking two or more beers
a day can double the risk of a gout attack. So limit the amount of alcohol you drink, or avoid it completely.
One of the most helpful things you can do to prevent gout attacks is to stay at a healthy body weight. Research has shown that excess weight is a major risk fac-tor for developing gout. If you are overweight, losing weight can lower uric acid levels in your body and significantly reduce your risk of gout attacks.
When it comes to the specific diet you should follow, tradition-ally it was thought that reducing all foods that contain purines could substantially decrease the risk of gout flares. However, managing a low-purine diet can be quite cumbersome, and the success of such a diet in low-ering blood uric acid levels is actually quite low. Even if you strictly follow a low-purine diet, the amount it can decrease your blood uric acid level is rarely enough to cure gout.
Instead, a lower-calorie diet — one that replaces refined car-bohydrates with more complex carbohydrates, limits meat, and increases vegetables and fruit — often can be much more effec-tive at reducing blood uric acid levels than a low-purine diet.
Specifically, if you want to lower your risk of gout, eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat milk products. Get your protein mainly from low-fat dairy products, which may have a protective effect against gout. Limit the amount of meat, fish and poultry you eat to no more than 4 to 6 ounces a day. Drink 8 to 16 cups — about 2 to 4 liters — of fluid daily, with
at least half of that being water.If you have another gout at-
tack, your doctor may recom-mend that you take medications. A drug called colchicine or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be useful in reducing the symptoms of a gout attack. A group of drugs called xanthine oxidase inhibi-tors, including febuxostat and allopurinol, can help prevent future gout flare-ups. They work by causing the body to produce less uric acid.
These medications are of-ten very effective in controlling gout. If you experience another episode of gout, talk to your doctor about your treatment options and which medications may be best for you.
Paying Attention to Diet May Help Prevent Gout Flare-Up

The Affordable Care Act has so far survived Republican at-tempts to replace it, but many people still face insurance con-cerns. Below, I answer three questions from readers.
Q: I have a rare disease, and there is literally only one special-ist in my area with the expertise needed to treat me. I am self-employed and have to buy my own insurance. What do I do next year if there are zero insur-ance plans available that allow me to see my specialist? I cannot
“break up” with my sub-specialty oncologist. I must be able to see the doctor that is literally saving my life and keeping me alive.
A: If the plan you pick covers out-of-network providers, you can continue to see your cancer specialist, although you’ll have to pay a higher percentage of the cost than if you were seeing someone in your plan’s network.
But many plans these days don’t provide any out-of-net-work coverage. This is certainly true of plans sold on the health insurance exchanges.
The situation you’re con-cerned about — that a specialist you consider crucial to your care isn’t in a plan’s provider network
— isn’t uncommon, said Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms.
If this happens, you can con-tact your plan and make the case that this particular provider is the only one who has the exper-tise to meet your needs. (Unfor-tunately, you probably can’t get this coverage assurance before you sign up.) Then ask your plan to make an exception and treat the out-of-network special-ist as if she were in network for cost-sharing purposes. So, if in your plan an in-network spe-cialist visit requires a $250 co-payment, for example, the plan
would agree that’s what you’d be charged to see your out-of-network specialist.
Or not. It’s up to the plan of-ficials, and they may argue that someone in network has the ex-pertise you need. If you disagree, you can appeal that decision.
But it may not come to that, said Corlette.
“Plans are prepared for this — the good ones are, anyway,” she said. “My understanding is that it’s pretty routine to grant excep-tions for narrow subspecialties.”
Q: My company has asked employees to pay the Cadillac tax rather than putting the bur-den on the company. They are also telling us not to worry be-cause it will never happen, but want us to agree that if it does we will take on the cost. Can they do that?
A: Let’s step back for a min-ute. The so-called Cadillac tax is a 40 percent surcharge on the value of health plans above the thresholds of $10,200 for single coverage and $27,500 for family
plans.A few months ago when it
looked as if the ACA was going to be replaced, many employers believed, as yours apparently still does, that the Cadillac tax would never become effective. Both the House and Senate bills delayed the tax until 2026, and a lot can happen between now and then. With the collapse of efforts to repeal the ACA, however, the tax is on the front burner once again, said J.D. Piro, who leads the health and law group at ben-efits consultant Aon Hewitt. It’s set to take effect in 2020.
Under the law, insurers or employers would be respon-sible for paying the tax, but ex-perts say the costs would likely be passed through to enrollees (whether or not you explicitly agree to absorb them). So it may not matter how you respond to your employer.
Also, employers who don’t want to pay the surcharge might sidestep the issue by reducing the value of the plans they of-
fer, said Piro. For example, they could increase employee de-ductibles and other cost-sharing, make coverage less generous or shrink the provider network.
“That’s simplest way to avoid the tax,” he said.
Q: I need to purchase afford-able health insurance for my two daughters who are 19 and 17. Is Trump insurance available yet? I need something I can afford and everything is so expensive.
A: President Donald Trump never put forward a proposal to replace the ACA. Instead, he backed the House and Senate replacement versions, which ultimately failed. But those ver-sions might not have addressed your concerns, and you could have several options through the ACA.
“Coverage wouldn’t neces-sarily have been cheaper,” said Judith Solomon, vice president for health policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Under the Senate bill, for example, the nonpartisan Con-
gressional Budget Office pre-dicted that average 2018 premi-ums for single coverage would be 20 percent higher than this year’s. In 2020, however, premi-ums would be 30 percent lower than under current law, on aver-age. But deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs would be higher for most people under the Senate bill, according to the CBO.
Premiums for young people would generally have declined. The bill would have allowed in-surers to vary rates to a greater degree based on age, resulting in lower premiums for young people. In addition, premium tax credits generally would have increased for young people with incomes above 150 percent of the poverty level.
Your current coverage op-tions under the ACA depend on your family situation. If you have coverage available to you through your employer, you can keep your daughters on your plan until they turn 26. For many parents, this is the most affordable, comprehensive op-tion.
If that’s not a possibility, as-suming the three of you live to-gether and you claim them as dependents on your taxes, you may qualify for subsidized cov-erage on the health insurance marketplace next year. Your household income would need to be no more than 400 per-cent of the federal poverty level (about $82,000 for a family of three). You can apply for that coverage in the fall.
If you live in one of the 31 states plus the District of Co-lumbia that have expanded Medicaid coverage to adults with incomes below 138 per-cent of the poverty level (about $28,000 for a family of three), you could qualify for that pro-gram. You don’t have to wait for open enrollment to sign up for Medicaid.

Despite a 99 percent failure rate and another major setback recently, Alzheimer’s researchers are plowing ahead with hundreds of experiments — and a boost in federal money — to try to a crack a deadly disease that has flum-moxed them for decades.
A law passed by Congress in December and signed by former President Barack Obama sets aside $3 billion over 10 years to fund research of brain diseases and precision medicine, a shot in the arm for Alzheimer’s re-search. The law, called the 21st Century Cures Act, also in-cludes prize money to encour-age Alzheimer’s experiments.
But billions of dollars have so far made little progress in decod-ing the memory-robbing disease, which affects 5 million Ameri-cans. Alzheimer’s is currently the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death. Decades of research have not produced a single drug that alters the disease’s course.
December began with an-other major setback: Eli Lilly shared disappointing results of a late-stage clinical trial of its experimental drug solanezum-ab, which failed to significantly slow Alzheimer’s progression.
But scientists aren’t giving up on the main hypothesis behind Eli Lilly’s trial: that Alzheimer’s can be defeated by using drugs to attack amyloid “plaques” that build up in the brain of Alzheim-er’s patients. Some scientists be-lieve these cause the disease.
Many observers still hold out hope for another promis-ing anti-amyloid drug, Biogen’s
aducanumab, which in an early trial improved cognitive decline in a small number of patients.
Other potentially ground-breaking research aims to in-tervene before patients even feel any symptoms. Using PET scans, scientists can now iden-tify amyloid plaques building up in a patient’s brain years before they develop Alzheimer’s. The A4 study, for instance, is testing solanezumab in adults who are accumulating amyloid plaques, but showing no outward signs of Alzheimer’s, such as memory loss or cognitive decline.
Other scientists are targeting what they believe is the true cul-prit, the protein tau, which cre-ates “tangles” in the brain, the disease’s other primary marker.
The experiments continue against a bleak backdrop: No new Alzheimer’s therapies have won federal approval since 2003, and Alzheimer’s clinical trials have had a 99 percent failure rate. Patients can access only four Food and Drug Adminis-tration-approved Alzheimer’s drugs that alleviate symptoms but do not prevent, slow or re-verse brain damage.
“The history of clinical trials results has been a history of dis-appointment,” said Keith Fargo, director of scientific programs and outreach at the Alzheimer’s Association.
Still, 77 Alzheimer’s drugs are currently being investigated or developed, according to the trade group PhRMA. And other experi-ments seek to repurpose FDA-ap-proved drugs for other conditions, such as diabetes or cancer, to see if they can help Alzheimer’s patients
— and cut several years from the drug development process.
Non-pharmaceutical solu-tions are also being explored. Ob-servational studies have shown that people who exercise more and have healthier diets seem to get the disease later in life. Re-searchers are now conducting tri-als to more closely measure the effects of exercise and diet. One randomized trial underway at Wake Forest University, dubbed EXERT, is testing the effects of high-intensity aerobic exercise on adults with mild cognitive impairment by enrolling them in exercise programs at a YMCA.
Even before December’s pas-sage of the 21st Century Cures Act, public funding for Alzheim-er’s research has been rising. The National Institutes of Health al-located almost $1 billion to Al-zheimer’s research in fiscal 2016
— a $350 million increase over the previous year, according to Laurie Ryan, chief of NIH’s De-
mentias of Aging Branch. There are 468 open clinical trials re-lated to Alzheimer’s, and over a hundred more in progress, list-ed on the government database ClinicalTrials.gov.
Meanwhile, Alzheimer’s ad-vocates still grapple with a basic question: Is the rate of Alzheimer’s actually going down? A study in JAMA in November found that even as scientists have made no progress in changing Alzheimer’s course, overall dementia rates, which include Alzheimer’s and other dementias, appear to be dra-matically declining. The paper cast doubt over a major talking point of the Alzheimer’s lobby: That as baby boomers age, the number of Americans living with Alzheimer’s will explode from the current 5 million to 14 million in 2050. The study also suggested that lifestyle changes may make a difference.
While some heralded that as good news, others downplayed the finding.
Even if dementia rates drop, Alzheimer’s remains a major killer, and the number of afflict-ed people will likely still rise, be-cause the U.S. population is ag-ing so rapidly, predicted Fargo. He also questioned the study’s methods, which relied largely on telephone interviews.
“It’s not time to let our foot up off the gas,” Fargo said.
Eli Lilly’s closely watched tri-al, dubbed Expedition 3, was the latest potential breakthrough to fall flat. In 2,100 people with mild dementia, solanezumab failed to show significant results compared to a placebo.
Some critics said the failure casts doubt on the hotly disput-ed hypothesis that Alzheimer’s is triggered by the buildup of amyloid plaques.
But Eli Lilly spokeswoman Nicole Hebert said more work is needed to test the hypothesis, because the trial explored just one method of removing amy-loid, on one subgroup of people. She said the company is pursu-ing seven other lines of attack.
“Rumors of the death of the am-yloid hypothesis have been around for many years, and they’re prob-ably premature,” Fargo agreed.
Fargo noted that brain im-aging has shown that amyloid plaques start to build up 15 to 20 years before signs of dementia appear. So to really test the amy-loid hypothesis, he said, scientists may have to intervene earlier than they did in Expedition 3.
Despite the latest failure, Fargo said, “there’s still more optimism in Alzheimer’s re-search right now than there has been for 10 years.”

World’s Tallest Flagpole Cracks Into Pieces When World’s Largest Flag is Unfurled From it at Camp Lewis Flag-Raising Ceremony on Oct. 12, 1918
A ceremony is held at Camp Lewis in Pierce County to celebrate the raising of the world’s largest flag, measuring 60 by 90 feet and weighing 257 pounds, on the world’s tallest flagpole, a 314-foot-tall Doug-las fir pole. No record is set, however, because the weight of the flag breaks the pole into three pieces the moment it is unfurled. Undaunted, the Tacoma and Pierce County boosters who have sponsored the record-flag attempt recon-struct a smaller, sturdier pole from the pieces of the original, and hold a second dedication on Nov. 12, 1918. This time the pole holds, but the flag shreds in two as soon as it is raised, and is later replaced with a smaller flag. The Camp Lewis attempt is one in a long line of efforts to fly ever-bigger flags on ever-taller poles. A quarter century earlier, the Washington State Building at the World’s Columbian Expo-sition featured what was said to be the largest American flag and tallest flagpole, and by the twenty-first century, flagpoles around the world will exceed 500 feet.
Largest Flag at the Fair
On May 1, 1893, the World’s Columbian Exposi-tion opened in Chicago, and the Washington building was a popular stop. This was an opportunity for Washington to stand out among the states. Washington’s exhibit featured a 238-foot-tall fir-tree flagpole flying a massive American flag that measured 60 feet by 20. At the time they were described as the largest American flag known and the tallest flagpole. Following the Chicago world’s fair, Washington boosters promoted the state’s towering Douglas fir trees internation-ally as tall flagpoles. It was hoped that the tall, straight firs could be sold around the world for this purpose.
Oregon also joined in the competition for the tallest flagpole. In the spring of 1914 the residents of Astoria donat-ed the tallest flagpole erected at the Panama-Pacific Inter-national Exposition in San Francisco. The forests around Astoria were searched for the perfect tree. A Douglas fir was selected, felled, and floated down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean. A tug boat towed it down the coast to San Francisco. Just as the tug neared San Francisco Bay a terrific storm hit and the flag-pole broke loose. Two days lat-er it was found and recovered. The 251-foot tree was taken to the exposition grounds and sunk 10 feet into a concrete block. Astoria residents made a flag 40 feet long that was raised at the exposition open-ing.
Barrage Balloon Strikes Seattle Again From the Air on Oct. 12, 1942
Just after 6:00 a.m., a U.S. Army barrage balloon, trail-ing 1,000 feet of steel cable, drifts over Seattle shorting out power lines and starting a fire. Power is lost to the Magno-lia Bluff neighborhood, Lake Union, and Capitol Hill and the City Light steam plant is
damaged.The balloon dragged its ca-
ble over the Seattle City Light Lake Union steam plant caus-ing short circuits and a seri-ous fire. “Wherever the cable struck a power wire, bright blue flashes would shoot into the air” (Seattle Star). Track-less trolley lines were pulled down at Third Avenue and Pine Street and the Madrona trolley line was knocked out for 40 minutes. At Fourth Av-enue and Blanchard Street, a force of soldiers, police, and crews from City Light and Puget Sound Power & Light se-cured the balloon.
Other mishaps occurred on Feb. 2, Feb. 4, April 15, June 5, Sept. 5, Oct. 31, Nov. 20, 1942, and on Jan. 24, 1943.
A frustrated City Light Su-perintendent Eugene Hoffman wrote to the Federal Power Commission on June 6, 1942, that Seattle “experienced a sus-tained attack by United States Army balloons last night. The attack started about eleven o’clock and involved approxi-mately twenty-five balloons.”
When Hoffman submitted claims to the Army for dam-ages, the reviewing board at Fort Lewis asked for more evi-dence. Ultimately, the Army paid most, but not all, of City Light’s claims.
Barrage balloons, tethered by long cables, were used dur-ing World War II as a defense against air attack. Fifty-four balloons of the 303rd Balloon Barrage Battalion protected the Boeing Plant at Boeing Field. By most accounts, the balloons in locations around the world interfered with at least as many friendly aircraft as enemy aircraft.
Bothell Man in Bear Costume is Almost Shot on Oct. 12, 1957
Vern Strong, a member of the Bothell Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) climbs a tree dressed in a bear costume as a publicity stunt for an up-coming Jaycee event. Mistak-ing him for a real bear, anxious Bothell residents, including a Deputy Sheriff, almost shoot him down.
Trouble’s a Bruin
Strong donned the bear costume to promote the Jay-cees’ upcoming Laff-O-Rama event, a hometown circus for the benefit of the Bothell Teen-Age Canteen. Carrying hand-bills, he climbed up the town’s 108-foot tall Christmas tree, hoping to draw attention. That he did, but not in the way he had hoped.
Because Strong was so high up in the branches, passersby mistook him for a real bear. Some ran home to retrieve their rifles. Others called the Sheriff ’s office. When Sher-iff ’s Deputy E. L. Kirkpatrick arrived on the scene, a large crowd had gathered. Some had their guns at the ready, just in case they needed to protect themselves against a wild ani-mal.
As a matter of public safety, Kirkpatrick planned on shoot-ing the bear dead. He raised his high-powered rifle, and just as he was lining up the shot, he noticed through the scope that the bear was wear-ing shoes. He immediately lowered his gun, and rushed through the crowd, urging hunters not to join him in a barrage fired at the treetop.
Grin and Bear It
After the commotion end-ed, Strong slowly made his way down from the tree, scattering handbills along the way. When he reached bottom, he took off his fake bear head, and noted,
“It was awfully hot up there.”Kirkpatrick replied, “Bud-
dy, you don’t know how warm it nearly was.” The Sheriff ’s Deputy also stated that this
was as close as he had ever got-ten to shooting someone.
At the foot of the tree, Strong was trembling notice-ably. He stated that when he was high in the branches, all he could do when he saw anyone pointing a gun at him was to
“get around on the other side of the tree or wave at them.”
Seattle Storm Wins WNBA Championship on Oct. 12, 2004
The Seattle Storm wins the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) cham-pionship, becoming only the third professional sports team in the city’s history to earn a national title (after the Seattle Metropolitans, who won hock-ey’s Stanley Cup in 1917, and the Seattle SuperSonics, cham-pions of the National Basket-ball Association in 1979).
Professional women’s bas-ketball came to Seattle partly as a result of the success of the University of Washington’s women’s basketball team in the mid-1980s through 1990s. The city was one of 12 to be included in the American Bas-ketball League, the first pro-fessional women’s league, es-tablished in 1995. The Seattle Reign built a small but dedi-cated base of fans before the team, and the league, folded in December 1998.
The WNBA, established in 1997 as an offshoot of the NBA, awarded Seattle a franchise in 1999. Like other WNBA teams, the Storm plays in the sum-mer, during the NBA off-sea-son, and benefits from media contracts, sponsorships, and advertising arranged through the NBA.

Someone having a heart at-tack may experience any or all of the following:
— Uncomfortable pressure, fullness or squeezing pain in the center of the chest
— Discomfort or pain spread-ing beyond the chest to the shoulders, neck, jaw, teeth, or one or both arms, or occasion-ally upper abdomen
— Shortness of breath— Lightheadedness, dizziness,
fainting— Sweating— NauseaA heart attack generally
causes chest pain for more than 15 minutes, but it can also have no symptoms at all. Many people who experience a heart attack have warning signs hours, days or weeks in advance.
What to Do If You or Someone Else May Be Having a Heart Attack
— Call 911 or your local medi-cal emergency number. Don’t ig-nore or attempt to tough out the symptoms of a heart attack for more than five minutes. If you don’t have access to emergency medical services, have a neigh-bor or a friend drive you to the nearest hospital. Drive yourself only as a last resort, and realize that it places you and others at risk when you drive under these circumstances.
— Chew and swallow an as-pirin, unless you are allergic to aspirin or have been told by your doctor never to take aspirin. But seek emergency help first, such as calling 911.
— Take nitroglycerin, if pre-scribed. If you think you’re hav-ing a heart attack and your doc-tor has previously prescribed nitroglycerin for you, take it as directed. Do not take anyone else’s nitroglycerin, because that could put you in more danger.
— Begin CPR if the person is unconscious. If you’re with a person who might be having a heart attack and he or she is un-conscious, tell the 911 dispatcher or another emergency medical specialist. You may be advised to begin cardiopulmonary re-suscitation (CPR). If you haven’t received CPR training, doctors recommend skipping mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing and per-forming only chest compressions (about 100 per minute). The dis-patcher can instruct you in the proper procedures until help ar-rives.
— If an automated external defibrillator (AED) is available and the person is unconscious, begin CPR while the device is retrieved and set up. Attach the device and follow instructions that will be provided by the AED after it has evaluated the person’s condition.
Your lifestyle affects your heart health. The following steps
can help you not only prevent but also recover from a heart attack:
— Avoid smoke. The most im-portant thing you can do to im-prove your heart’s health is to not smoke. Also, avoid being around secondhand smoke. If you need to quit, ask your doctor for help.
— Control your blood pres-sure and cholesterol levels. If one or both of these is high, your doctor can prescribe changes to your diet and medications. Ask your doctor how often you need to have your blood pressure and cholesterol levels monitored.
— Get regular medical check-ups. Some of the major risk fac-tors for heart attack — high
blood cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes — cause no symptoms early on. Your doc-tor can perform tests to check for these conditions and help you manage them, if necessary.
— Exercise regularly. Regu-lar exercise helps improve heart muscle function after a heart attack and helps prevent a heart attack by helping you to control your weight, diabetes, cholester-ol and blood pressure. Exercise needn’t be vigorous. Walking 30 minutes a day, five days a week can improve your health.
— Maintain a healthy weight. Excess weight strains your heart and can contribute to high cho-
lesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes.
— Eat a heart-healthy diet. Saturated fat, trans fats and cho-lesterol in your diet can narrow arteries to your heart, and too much salt can raise blood pres-sure. Eat a heart-healthy diet that includes lean proteins, such as fish and beans, plenty of fruits and vegetables and whole grains.
— Manage diabetes. High blood sugar is damaging to your heart. Regular exercise, eating well and losing weight all help to keep blood sugar levels at more-desirable levels. Many people also need medication to manage their diabetes.
— Control stress. Reduce stress in your day-to-day activi-ties. Rethink workaholic habits and find healthy ways to mini-mize or deal with stressful events in your life.
— If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. For healthy adults, that means up to one drink a day for women and men older than age 65, and up to two drinks a day for men age 65 and younger.

Calcium is important for op-timal bone health throughout your life. The mineral is also a component of the plaque that develops in your heart arteries if you have atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. Does this mean taking calcium in-creases your risk of heart disease and heart attack?
Authors of a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association examines
this issue and found that, when taken in supplement form, calci-um may increase a woman’s risk. But the opposite is true when consuming calcium-rich foods. In that case, calcium is good for your heart.
Although diet is the best way to get calcium, calcium supple-ments may be an option if your diet falls short. Before you consid-er calcium supplements, be sure you understand how much calci-um you need, the pros and cons of calcium supplements, and which
type of supplement to choose.Your body needs calcium
to build and maintain strong bones. Your heart, muscles and nerves also need calcium to function properly.
The Benefits of Calcium
Some studies suggest that cal-cium, along with vitamin D, may have benefits beyond bone health: perhaps protecting against cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure. But evidence about such health benefits is not definitive.
Calcium and Diet
Your body doesn’t produce calcium, so you must get it through other sources. Calci-um can be found in a variety of foods, including:
— Dairy products, such as cheese, milk and yogurt
— Dark green leafy vegeta-bles, such as broccoli and kale
— Fish with edible soft bones, such as sardines and canned salmon
— Calcium-fortified foods
and beverages, such as soy prod-ucts, cereal and fruit juices, and milk substitutes
To absorb calcium, your body also needs vitamin D. A few foods naturally contain small amounts of vitamin D, such as canned salmon with bones and egg yolks. You can also get vita-min D from fortified foods and sun exposure. The RDA for vita-min D is 600 international units (15 micrograms) a day for most adults.

10 Reasons to Quit Smoking Right Now
By Chronicle News Services
Quitting smoking can greatly improve smok-ers’ long-term health and can even begin paying dividends almost immediately.
Smoking is a leading contributor to many dis-eases and harms nearly every organ of the body, advises the U.S. Department of Health and Hu-man Services. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says smoking causes more deaths each year than HIV, alcohol use, illegal drug use, motor vehicle injuries, and firearm-related in-cidents each individually. Smoking not only ac-counts for 90 percent of all lung cancer-related deaths, but also it increases the risk for coronary heart disease, stroke, and cancers almost any-where in the body.
Nicotine is a toxic, colorless or yellow liquid that is the chief active constituent of tobacco. Because nicotine is addictive, people who want to quit smoking must recognize they will need to overcome their addictions en route to getting healthier. The good news is that, for people who smoke infrequently, most remnants of nicotine are gone within three to four days of quitting, says the Quit Smoking Community. It may take longer for nicotine to leave the bodies of heavy smokers or those who have been smoking for a long time. As nicotine levels decrease, the body will eventu-ally recover from withdrawal symptoms and be-gin to feel better.
The following are 10 reasons to quit smoking today.
1. Financial savings: The cost of a pack of ciga-rettes varies depending on where you live, but the cost savings of quitting can add up quickly. New York City and London have some of the most ex-pensive cigarette prices in the world. In America the average price of cigarettes is $5.51, according to Fair Reporters, based on cigarette prices across the United States. Many states fall between $6 and $8 per pack.
2. Cleaner teeth: Smoking can stain teeth, so quitting smoking can prevent future smoking-related stains.
3. Greater lung capacity: Many people find their lung capacity improves by as much as 10 percent within nine months of quitting, accord-ing to the World Health Organization. Within one to nine months of quitting, coughing and shortness of breath decreases.
4. Better circulation: Blood flow improves when smokers quit smoking, which can mean fewer feelings of “pins and needles” in extremities and warmer hands and feet.
5. Improved fertility: Nonsmokers often find it easier to get pregnant because the lining of the womb is stronger and sperm is more potent, says NHS Choices, the United Kingdom’s larg-est health resource. Quitting also can reduce the chances of birth defects or miscarriage.
6. Blood oxygen improvement: Within 12 hours of quitting, blood oxygen levels return to normal and carbon monoxide levels will drop to normal, offers the quitting helper QuitSmoking-Support.com.
7. Coughing decreases: Chronic cough due to tobacco smoke irritation, and damaged cilia in the lungs can abate over time, says the Mayo Clinic. The cilia can recover, regaining mobility, and mucus production begins to return to a nor-mal level as well.
8. Better sense of smell and taste: The Cleve-land Clinic says that smoking can damage the nerve endings in the body, including those in-volved in taste and smell. People who quit may be-gin to taste flavors and experience aromas better than they did when they were still smoking.
9. Improved aroma: By quitting smoking, smokers will no longer have the odor of cigarette or cigar smoke clinging to their hair and cloth-ing. That can make them smell more pleasant to themselves and others.
10. Longer life: Quitting significally improves smokers’ chances of living a long, healthy life.
ADVICE: Dear Abby
DEAR ABBY: I retired after a 40-year career. A friend from work, “Bernie,” is the same age I am (62) but is still working.
Six years ago, I had a seri-ous health crisis. Three years ago, Bernie survived a heart at-tack. Since then, Bernie worries incessantly about dying. He exercises rigorously and eats a strictly vegan diet. I like to spend time with him, but I’m more casual about diet and exercise.
Neither of us is going to be a GQ model, regardless of how much we diet or exercise. I say life should be enjoyed, but Bernie is too busy obsessing, compulsively taking medicine and working out.
Today he invited me out to supper. Instead of going to a res-taurant, he said he was cooking another of his (not-too-tasty) vegan meals. I don’t want to of-fend or discourage Bernie, but I hate his cooking. What should I do? Would a steak and a baked potato kill him? — PAUNCHY BUT HAPPY IN KENTUCKY
DEAR PAUNCHY: Be-cause you enjoy Bernie’s com-pany, call him and tell him you would love to come to supper, but because you are a carni-vore you will be bringing your own steak and potato with you, so fire up the broiler.
DEAR ABBY: My mother died from a heroin overdose when I was 8. As a mother with children of my own, I often find myself getting upset when people say nice things about her
— things that would normally make people feel good, such as, “Oh, she would have been so proud of you,” or, “She was such a great woman.” I feel that
if she was such a great woman, she wouldn’t have chosen drugs over her (or our) well-being. How can I let go of the anger I feel toward her when everyone else sees her only in a good light? — MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT MOM
DEAR MIXED FEELINGS: I’m sorry for the loss of your mother at such a tender age and under such tragic circumstanc-es. Far more is understood about drug addiction today than was known when you were a child. We now know that addiction can be less about a lack of char-acter than a medical problem.
I seriously doubt that when your mother gave herself her final fix she realized it would be her last. While I sympathize with your anger at being cheated out of her presence in your life, it would be better for your own quality of life if you could accept that she was a human being and fallible. A licensed mental health professional can help you work through your anger, and I hope you will talk to one soon.
DEAR ABBY: We host many gatherings in our home during the year, including pic-nics. We have a downstairs bathroom that is intended for guests. But twice now, I have encountered guests using my upstairs bathroom. I have never offered it, and I’m offended that they take it upon themselves to go uninvited into private ter-ritory. I would never do that in someone else’s house. Am I wrong, or are they overstepping the boundaries here? — WON-DERING IN THE EAST
DEAR WONDERING: To use your upstairs bathroom without asking your permis-sion is overstepping. The excep-tion might be if the downstairs bathroom was in use, and the need to get into one was urgent.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2017
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)Don’t overanalyze. Live in the moment and deal with matters as they arise. Don’t make life more complicated than it is. Keep life simple and your goals reasonable.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) An unrealistic promise will put you in a compromising position. Schedule your plans carefully and use common sense when making decisions that could
advance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Simplify matters by living within your means and only taking on what you know you can handle. Underestimating the work and cost involved in a project will leave you in a bad position.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You or someone you are dealing with will overreact. Protect important relationships and do your best to keep the peace. A physical challenge will do you good and ease stress.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Put your passwords, credit cards and anything else that matters in a safe place. Someone will take advantage of you if you are too gullible or open about your personal business.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Money and emotions won’t mix. A deal is only as good as the work you are willing to put in to make it succeed. Take positive action.

affairs carefully. Overspending or making unrealistic promises will leave you in a sticky situation. Offer creative solutions, but don’t donate your cash.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your kindness will lead to trouble if you trust a smooth-talking individual. Put your time, effort and cash into personal gains, home improvement and romancing someone you love.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll face emotional controversy at home or when dealing with institutions, government agencies or
and regulations to avoid being put in a precarious position.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t be tempted to take part in something just because you want to impress someone or be near him or her. Take a pass, but be there to help when things fall apart.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2017LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

inch your way toward it. Don’t lose
patience or let anyone or anything
distract you from reaching your goal.
The experience will be enlightening.

relationship. A plan will put you in

A pleasure trip will do you good. You’ll
get a different perspective on life if
you interact with people from diverse
backgrounds. Romance is on the rise.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
An investment will tempt you. Don’t go
into debt on a risky venture. Children
will offer insightful information that
should be considered before you make
a game-changing decision.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Thoughts should lead to actions that will
improve your home life, making it more
comfortable and convenient. Make a
point to discuss your plans and feelings
with a loved one.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You’ll be tempted to follow the crowd.
Take a closer look and consider what
you stand to lose if a deal doesn’t
unfold as expected. Say no and cut
your losses.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Share your feelings and be open about
your plans. Not everyone will agree, but
at least you will know who is willing to
help.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Take care of personal business with
shrewdness. Don’t gamble with your
assets or take a chance of getting hurt
Caution and integrity will keep you safe.
