Writer to Discuss New Book at Packwood Library

Author Kenton V. Smith will be at the Packwood Timberland Library from 5 to 6 p.m. tonight to read from and discuss his new western novel “The Pipsqueak Kid: Tales from the Chisholm.” Smith will include a discussion of his writing process.

The book summary de-scribes two characters: “U.S. Marshal Ruston Lovell, who does not know the meaning of fear, and U.S. Marshal Buster Gibbs, who shares Lovell’s com-mitment to the camaraderie, jus-tice and rollicking humor of the real Chisholm Trail as it shoots from Abilene, Kan. to Austin, Texas.” The story brings Rus-ton, Buster and others they meet along the way to “the mother of all gang wars near Austin.”

Smith is also the co-author of “I Solemnly Swear: Conmen, DEA, the Media and Pan Am 103.” He and his wife are year-round residents of Packwood.

The Packwood Timberland Library is located at 109 W. Main St. For more information, please contact the library at (360) 494-5111 or go to www.TRL.org.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT: Debbie Chaney Gould Accusing Jim Day of Unwanted Advances

By Bianca Fortis

[email protected]

The human resources man-ager at the Lewis County Pub-lic Utilities District is suing the utility and its former superin-tendent for $1 million, alleging in court documents that she was the recipient of dozens of unwanted advances over the course of several years and that her superiors were slow to halt the activity.

Jim Day, who retired in March 2011, has denied most of the the sexual harassment claims made by Debbie Chaney Gould in court documents filed earlier this year in Lewis County Superior Court.

Gould alleges that, begin-ning in 2008, Day made her uncomfortable by staring at her and frequently complimenting her. She also alleges that he gave her presents, including Valen-tine’s Day gifts, flowers and a di-amond necklace, and that he fre-quently asked her out to lunch or to get drinks.

In court documents, Gould detailed the unwanted text mes-sages and phone calls she says she received from Day even after requesting that he cease contacting her. She said that he became angry and erratic as his retirement neared and that his demeanor combined with his continued advances toward her made her fearful.

“On February 2, 2011, I re-ceived a phone call from James Day’s extension,” she wrote in her initial claim. “He just sat there and made weird breath-ing noises into the phone. This frightened me.”

According to Gould, she re-peatedly told Day to stop and reported the harassment to her supervisor, Dave Muller, the for-mer PUD manager. She alleges that Muller and other employ-ees did nothing to address the problem and that all the while she was often forced to ride with Day to PUD-related events and meetings as part of her job.

Gould wrote: “The severe mental and emotional anguish and humiliation I have suffered is compounded by the fact that I am the Human Resources Manager. My job is to address problems with and between employees, but I was afforded no protection from my superior from sexual harassment and a hostile work environment, even though they were repeatedly in-formed of the unlawful conduct of James Day.”

Muller declined to comment when reached by The Chronicle.

Gould says she was fright-ened by the fact that Day could still access the PUD building even after he retired. Muller had also retired and was replaced by the current PUD manager, Bob Geddes. Geddes changed the locks on the PUD building and installed a deadbolt on Gould’s office door, according to court documents.

According to court docu-ments, Day said he is “without

sufficient knowledge to admit or deny the allegations” and, as a result, denies almost every claim.

According to Day, most of the text messages were work-re-lated and none contained “con-tent that could be considered risque, untoward or bawdy.”

Day admitted to buying some of the gifts for Gould; he says one was a sympathy gift be-cause Gould was distraught over her divorce and had been com-plaining to Day in an emotional state.

Day also said he did purchase a $100 necklace for Gould, and he left it on her desk as a Christ-mas gift. Gould asked him to re-trieve it, and he did, he said.

Day denies ever calling Gould and making strange breathing sounds as well as driv-ing by her house to make his presence known.

According to the documents, Day said he was not notified by Gould or the PUD that his behavior was objectionable, and that his behavior invited a friendship.

Gould’s initial claim is for $1 million, but the claim may in-crease, according to court docu-ments.

OLYMPIA AP) — With less than four months to go before Election Day, Republican Rob McKenna holds a $900,000 cash advantage in Washington's race for governor.

New campaign finance re-ports filed this week show that McKenna has $3.7 million avail-able to spend while Democratic

opponent Jay Inslee has $2.8 million. Inslee burned through a large chunk of his cash in re-cent weeks with a television ad blitz.

Both candidates have raised a little less than $7 million, with McKenna holding a slight ad-vantage there. Inslee has ben-efited from more than $1 million

in contributions from the state Democratic Party. Inslee has also been aided by money that he'd previously raised from his federal account during his years in Congress. State officials have allowed him to directly transfer some federal contributions to his state account, but he must first get the permission of the donor.

URGENCY: City Supports Building on Property Before Possible Floodway Designation

By Kyle Spurr

[email protected]

Centralia officials hope that property where a dilapidated, fire-ravaged motel currently stands can be purchased and de-veloped by a private buyer.

But if the Riverside Motel property on Harrison Avenue in Centralia is not sold and rebuilt before the Federal Emergency Management Agency releases its newest revised flood maps, building on the property may not be allowed.

The property along the Skookumchuck River is cur-rently considered in the flood-plain, which allows building, but early drafts of the new FEMA flood maps show a por-tion of the 614 Harrison Av-enue property in the floodway, where building is prohibited, according to Centralia building official L.G. Nelson.

The motel that stands on the property — still scarred by an arson that burned up several rooms and a flood that left it un-inhabitable — is considered an eyesore by many.

“If someone doesn’t buy it soon, it’s going to be a bare piece of land,” Nelson said.

A timeline for the new flood map has not been determined. Nelson said the flood map plans could also easily be changed as local, state and federal agencies continue to give their input.

In the meantime, Greg Go-forth, the commercial real es-tate broker for the Riverside Motel, said the 0.96 acre prop-erty remains on the market for $375,000.

Goforth reduced the price from $665,000 on Jan. 11.

Goforth said the Riverside Motel owner Harshida Thakor is aggressively trying to sell the property, but no buyers have yet stepped forward.

A couple of developers in Olympia and Centralia have contacted Goforth about the property with plans to build apartment buildings or office space, but Goforth said nobody has committed.

Goforth said he is also open to the city of Centralia purchas-ing the land.

Centralia City Manager Rob Hill said the city does not have the money, but an email conver-sation The Chronicle obtained through a public records request showed the city didn’t outright reject the idea of purchasing the land earlier this year.

In the email between Go-forth and Centralia City Planner Tammy Baraconi on May 2, Go-forth suggests the city could buy the property and be reimbursed

later through at grant. “If I hear anything I will defi-

nitely let you know,” Baraconi responded on June 20. “The city would rather see the site devel-oped also.”

The one-story motel, built in

1950, has been vacant and in dis-repair since the flood of 2007.

Documents requested by The Chronicle detailed an in-spection on Jan. 15, 2009, where health specialists visited the motel to investigate a complaint

that motel units were being rent-ed despite a lack of cleaning and mold from the 2009 flood.

“It was obvious that the rooms all had extensive mold growth as observed on floors, walls and their ceilings with an odor in those rooms characteristic of mold,” Environmental Health Specialist John W. McFadden wrote in the inspection report.

The city deemed the River-side Motel property uninhabit-able on Feb. 2, 2009.

In a letter from L.G. Nelson to Thakor, Nelson wrote, “After inspections on Jan. 9 and Jan. 10, 2009 we concluded the Riverside Motel at 614 Harrison Avenue was unfit for human occupancy and was red tagged.”

After an arson to the River-side Motel on Jan. 27, 2010, by two 14-year-old juveniles, Tha-kor fenced the property and mostly left it the way it sits now.

Following the arson and floods, Thakor filed a $2.5 mil-lion lawsuit against the city in February 2010, claiming build-ing officials racially discrimi-nated against her and that the city failed to prepare for flood-ing that led to the building being condemned.

The city denied the claim in March 2010.

The Riverside Motel con-tinues to sit uninhabitable and enclosed by the fencing. Nearly all the windows are broken and weeds grow through the empty parking lot.

Despite the condition of the old building, Nelson said the property located at the north en-trance of the city along the river is valuable to the community.

As Thakor, the outright owner of the floodplain property, looks for a buyer, Nelson said, the city supports her search and would like to see the land put to use.

“If they could get something in there,” Nelson said, “I’d be more than happy to help.”

The state health depart-ment’s Office of Immunization and Child Profile recently recog-nized Northwest Pediatric clin-ics in Centralia and Chehalis as top health care providers in the state.

With whooping cough on the rise throughout Washington, in-cluding the greater Lewis Coun-ty area, the Northwest Pediatric clinics have been busy working to increase vaccinations in the region.

The clinics call and mail each patient due or overdue for immunizations, especially chil-dren 11 to 12 years old, who are mostly likely to spread whoop-ing cough.

During visits, the clinics also screen for other needed vaccina-tions and spend extra time with parents to educate them and en-courage vaccination.

The state health department honored the Northwest Pediat-ric clinics with a plaque for their work, which also includes up-dating their child profile immu-nization registry records, using

their electronic medical record alerts to track vaccine deferrals and discussing immunizations during their monthly nurse meeting.

The state health department also noted the work of Lewis County Public Health and So-cial Services Immunization Coordinator Jane Sheldon and Child Profile Health Market-ing Specialist Margo Harris for supporting the clinics with tools and training.

In 2010, Sheldon said, both clinics increased immunization rates by about 30 percent in four months while participating in a quality improvement project.

This year, Sheldon said the clinics have recalled teen pa-tients for whooping cough vac-cinations and other immuniza-tions while they are in the office.

The Lewis County Health Department said whooping cough cases have reached 64 reported cases in the county through July 13. Three cases were reported last week, includ-ing an infected infant.

In the past month, 11 cases were reported in Lewis County.

News in Brief

Amtrak Engine Derails; Rail Line Blocked

WOODLAND (AP) — An Amtrak spokeswoman said the lead engine of an Amtrak Cascades train trav-eling from Portland to Seattle derailed in southwest Wash-ington Wednesday, but no one was injured.

A Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway spokesman said the Wednesday evening derailment blocked both main lines in a rail corridor used by more than 50 freight and passenger trains daily.

Amtrak spokeswoman Danelle Hunter said the train was carrying 86 passengers when the engine went off the tracks near Woodland. Bus transportation was being ar-ranged for the passengers.

Also affected Wednesday

night was a southbound Am-trak train headed from Se-attle to Eugene, Ore. Hunter said that train stopped in Centralia and Amtrak was working to secure buses for its passengers.

BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas said crews hoped to have the route reopened sometime today.

Fund, Averill, Lord and Schulte Debate Before Aug. 7 Primary

by bianca fortis

[email protected]

All four candidates vying for a seat on the Lewis County Commission faced off for the first time Tuesday night. A fo-rum was held at the Stillwaters Estates housing subdivision on Cooks Hill Road in Centralia.

Current Commissioner Ron Averill and Centralia City Coun-cilor Edna Fund are running in District 1; current Commission-er Bill Schulte and Jerry Lord, who owns the M&K Town Store in Chehalis, are running in Dis-trict 2. All four candidates are Republicans.

Jim Walton, the president of Centralia College, moderated.

One of the questions asked was what the candidates’ goals are for high utilizers of the criminal justice system.

Averill and Schulte defended their decision to implement the one tenth of one percent sales tax increase to support chemical dependency, mental health and therapeutic court programs.

Averill said funding at the state and federal levels has dried up, resulting in cutbacks to the county budget.

“We find ourselves in the county with people that have problems that we have no fund-ing with which to help them,” he said.

Averill said there are people in need of mental health ser-vices who are in the jail because they can’t get into the right fa-cilities.

Schulte echoed his thoughts.“You say, ‘Why is the county

responsible for paying for men-tal health?’ It’s because you al-ready are,” he said.

Keeping mental health pa-tients in jail is ineffective and expensive, he said.

“We think this is a better way,” he said. “This looks like it’s an expensive process, but it’s actu-ally way cheaper than paying for it through the jail.”

Fund brought up her experi-ence in rehabilitation counsel-ing for the state.

Fund said the goal is to get users “off drugs and have them be back in society working and becoming taxpayers.”

“It’s a balancing act,” she

said. “We did that in the state of Washington and I feel like we could do it here, too.”

Lord said he often deals with the adults and youths who go to drug counseling and eventually end up using again.

Many people don’t want help, he said.

“It might be more efficient to give them 160 bucks and a ticket to San Diego,” he said. “At least they’d have a place to live during the cold months.”

Another question was about what the candidates would do to address flooding in Lewis County.

Schulte, Fund and Averill, who have all been openly sup-portive of an idea to build a dam on the Chehalis River, listed wa-ter retention as the right way to mitigate flooding in the basin.

Lord said he’s not opposed to the dam, but acknowledged that it already faces a lot of resistance.

“One of the issues is the fish,” he said, referring to the possible damaging effects the dam might have on salmon in the river.

“Once everybody comes to an agreement, you’re going to have suits.”

The primary election will be held August 7.

repairs: City Is Paying $10,000 a Day to Cover Lost Power Cost

by Kyle spurr

[email protected]

Centralia City Light has had to shut down its hydroelectric plant on the Nisqually River, which produces nearly a quarter of the city’s electricity.

The move came earlier this month after inspectors found a small sinkhole inside the canal that delivers water to the plant’s generators.

With no power coming from the Yelm hydro plant since July 6, City Light Manager Ed Williams said the city has to pay the Bonn-eville Power Administration, the primary energy provider for the city, an additional $10,000 a day to cover the lost hydropower.

Williams said City Light has

money set aside for issues like a leak in the canal, but if the problem is not fixed in the next couple months, energy rates will have to increase.

However, Williams expects the sinkhole to be repaired with-in two weeks.

City Light inspectors found the sinkhole on July 6 when they noticed water being sucked out of the canal. The inspectors believe the leak may have been caused by an old decayed tree root or animal in the area.

Williams said he will meet with the Federal Energy Regula-tory Commission in Portland on Friday to propose his repair plan. Williams needs the FERC’s per-mission to repair the leak.

To repair the sinkhole, Wil-liams is looking for a contractor to provide the right consistency of soil to fill the leak. The total repair project could cost nearly

$250,000, Williams said. “(The leak) is not unusual,”

Williams told The Chronicle from Yelm on Wednesday. “It’s just irritating and expensive.”

The leak is not related to the recent day-long power outage for much of the Hub City on July 1 as Centralia City Light worked on a new substation.

“It’s just bad luck,” Williams said.

federal grants increase transportation options for veterans By The Chronicle

Military veterans throughout Washington, in-cluding the greater Lewis County area, will have more information and access to transportation options from four federal grants worth $400,000.

The Washington State De-partment of Transportation administered the four grants, through the federal Veterans Transportation and Commu-nity Living Initiative, for the transportation projects.

In Lewis, Thurston and Grays Harbor counties, veter-ans will benefit from a $50,000 grant through the nonprofit Paratransit Services to fund an outreach coordinator, who will raise transportation ser-vice awareness, identify veter-ans’ resources and make pre-sentations to veterans groups about various transportation resources available in their communities.

The other three grant re-cipients are Hopelink, Hu-man Services Council and Pierce County Community Connections, which will each offer transportation options to veterans in other counties around the state.

The four grant recipi-ents, which are all non profit transportation providers, worked with the WSDOT to identify needs and develop proposals.

teens struggling to find a Job this summerBy The Seattle Times

Teenage job-seekers be-tween 16 and 19 years old have been hit especially hard since the recession, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data show. The national unemployment rate was 7.6 percent for adults last month, while 26.5 per-cent of teens looking for work couldn’t find a job.

Based on the latest avail-able state-by-state figures, the unemployment rate for teen-agers in Washington state was 32.9 percent last summer, ac-cording to data from North-eastern University’s Center for Labor Market Studies.

JUST THE DOCTOR AND

THE PATIENT: New Medical Service Offers Alternative to Existing System

By Amy Nile

[email protected]

An Onalaska doctor has opened a mobile clinic in an old ambulance and takes cash for consultations with the idea of providing inexpensive, immedi-ate care that is available even to those without insurance.

Dr. Ronald Williams quit his job after six years at Steck Medi-cal Group in Chehalis in June as a protest to President Barack Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the current medical system.

“I’m so opposed to Obam-acare, I wanted out,” said the self-described conservative Re-publican. “I want to take the middle people out so it’s just me and the patient.”

Williams, the grandson of the late U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond, a one-time segregationist and powerful politician, said he is concerned that the new law will create more government interfer-ence in a system already plagued with problems due to insurance companies and medical malprac-tice lawyers determining care.

“I’m not going to attack Obamacare,” he said. “I just of-fer an alternative.”

Williams, 52, opened Shoe-string Valley Medical Care just before the Fourth of July.

The rural Onalaska resident has provided emergency and urgent care medicine in Lewis County for more than 25 years.

He previously worked as an emergency room physician for 10 years at Morton General Hospital, before he was fired in December 2005 after a disagree-ment with the hospital board over the hiring of a new chief executive officer. Williams also spent several years at Provi-dence Centralia Hospital during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The 1981 University of Washington Medical School graduate has converted an old ambulance into a mobile of-fice so he can make house calls, schedule appointments and take walk-in patients. Williams sets up his clinic for same-day ap-pointments outside of Brenda’s Country Market in Onalaska on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and may practice elsewhere de-pending on the need.

Brenda Elliott, who owns the market and has been a patient of Williams’ for 25 years, said the new service will be an asset to the community because many elderly people like her 78-year-old father could benefit from house calls and same-day appointments.

“If you’re elderly, you want to go now or forget it,” she said.

Elliott said the service ad-dresses a need in the communi-ty by giving the uninsured treat-ment options.

“They can afford an office visit and their medication if they go to him,” Elliott said.

The Economic Opportunity

Institute projects that 12,600 Lewis County residents, or 16 percent of the population, will have no health insurance by the end of next year.

Williams aims to provide an alternative for treatment of mi-nor acute illnesses or injuries like urinary tract infections, si-nus infections or cuts.

“I’d like to treat simple things that people have an idea of what’s wrong,” he said.

Williams will provide labs and imaging orders that patients can have done at a local medical facility when necessary. Patients with problems requiring exten-sive treatment will be referred to the appropriate medical provider.

Patients can call ahead and Williams will tell them if he can treat them or if another provider would offer more appropriate care.

“I’m free to do that now,” he said. “When I worked at Steck that was interfering with their business.”

Williams will charge $50 for a basic visit for uninsured pa-tients. Throughout his 30 years in medicine, Williams said he has often seen the uninsured pay outrageous amounts of money for simple procedures.

“This county doesn’t need more practices. It needs more efficient ones,” he said. “They are no longer forced to pay insurance rates.”

Those with insurance will also pay around $50 at the time of ser-vice. The doctor will provide nec-

essary documentation so patients can bill their insurance company for reimbursement of the cost mi-nus the co-pay. Williams said he aims to charge a reasonable, flex-ible fee depending on time factors involved in the evaluation and the level of medical decision-making required.

Williams said he would charge less for visits requiring little time or for problems patients have self-diagnosed and he simply agrees then writes the necessary prescription. In fact, he said, that is one of the things he used to get in trouble for doing at Steck.

Patients will pay an appropri-ate cost for medical supplies or equipment when they are used. However, Williams will not have narcotics or controlled substances available due to safety concerns.

He will carry small amounts of basic medicines like antibi-otics so patients will not have to visit a pharmacy right away when they are not feeling well.

The new business, he said, will allow him to spend more time with patients which will im-prove the quality of care. At Steck, Williams said, he usually saw 30 to 50 patients in a 12-hour day.

“It’s not a good way to prac-tice medicine,” he said.

He aims to reduce that num-ber to around 20 patients daily at SVMC. Williams said he saw many patients at Steck who said they had to wait to come in be-cause they weren’t well enough to travel to the doctor. In addi-tion, he notes, that urgent care

centers and emergency facilities often have long wait times.

Williams said because he won’t have the overhead most medical facilities do, he can offer more affordable care to patients. And he will no longer be forced to order unnecessary tests for fear of a medical mal-practice suit or prescribe the medications of the insurance companies choice.

“I hope we can contribute by providing alternative, more cost-effective treatment and less hassle than the current system,” he said.

Chronicle to Begin Printing Aberdeen Daily World and Its Weeklies By The Chronicle

The Chronicle Printing Division will begin printing The Daily World of Aber-deen and a number of its af-filiated weekly newspapers next month.

The Daily World cited economic conditions and its aging press equipment that is more than 40 years old in the decision to outsource printing of the six-day-a-week newspaper, its special sections, and its weeklies: the South Beach Bulletin, East County News, North Coast News and the Vidette.

“We have successfully col-laborated with The Aberdeen Daily World on projects in the past and are happy to be able to partner with them by providing the press work for their papers,” said Chronicle Publisher Christine Fossett, who called the agreement “a mutual win.”

The change will be effec-tive Aug. 1. The announce-ment was made to Daily World employees on Tuesday.

“We believe forming this relationship with The Chronicle will assist us in streamlining our operation and continue to guarantee high quality products into the future for our advertis-ers and our readers,” Daily World Publisher Bill Craw-ford said in announcing the change.

The change will mean the layoff of seven Daily World printing and distribution employees.

The Chronicle’s advanced printing press, which regu-larly takes top printing awards among Northwest news publications of all sizes, will allow more vivid color, sharper images and crisper production, according to Jeff Andersen, general manager of Chronicle Printing, a di-vision of Lafromboise Com-munications Inc.

The Chronicle installed the first portion of its print-ing facility in 1998 and added on in 2004 as it relocated to Galvin Road in the Port of Centralia.

“While we at Chronicle Printing are not happy to see any employees at The Daily World lose their jobs, we are grateful for their show of confidence in our ability to produce their daily news-paper and weekly products,” said Andersen.

The move is the second major collaboration between neighboring newspapers to be announced in the state this month.

The Yakima Herald-Re-public announced last week that it will be printing the Tri-City Herald starting in mid-August.

When a girl becomes preg-nant, her life and prospects change, according to countless studies of teen motherhood.

Simply getting a high school diploma becomes much harder. Going on to college and a career are fraught with challenges that often aren’t apparent to those who become sexually active in middle or high school.

Some of these young moth-ers, including Krystal Brooks, profiled in Tuesday’s Chronicle, are repeating life patterns they learned from their own young mothers. Brooks, now 19 and raising two kids, said she hoped that having a child at age 16

would fix some of the big prob-lems in her life.

Of course, adding a child to the mix actually makes the complications and challenges multiply.

Fortunately, a number of lo-cal groups with a widely diver-gent set of philosophies all are working with one goal in mind: to support the young mother and her choices as she works to overcome the odds that sud-denly stack against her.

Less than half of young teen mothers complete high school. Even fewer, less than 2 percent

of those who give birth before age 18, attain a college degree by age 30.

Statistically, adolescent mothers are more likely to have low family incomes, live in pov-erty and be on public assistance.

Teen mothers are also more likely to experience substance abuse, domestic violence, depres-sion, and divorce or separation.

Among the groups working to help is Teens Entering Educa-tion Now at Centralia College, which focuses on getting teen-age mothers an education.

The program helps young mothers with the difficult jug-gling act of attending classes,

graduating from high school and learning the vital skills of parenting that they might not have learned on their own.

Success in this program and others like it can help create a system of success for mothers who are barely out of childhood themselves.

Another program that aims to help is the Teen Council Pro-gram, which trains teens to offer advice and help to their peers.

Other programs such as those offered through Planned Parenthood and the pro-life al-ternative across the street, now known as Possibilities Preg-nancy Center, have their own

perspectives on the best way to help girls who are about to be-come mothers.

The fact is that many teens are choosing to have sex. A 2010 survey found that 65 percent of high school seniors in Lewis County are having sex, com-pared with 53 percent statewide.

Whatever we think about those numbers, the conse-quences are real and affect all manner of lives that are just be-ing formed.

We appreciate the service of people and groups who want to help vulnerable young mothers do the best with the new life ahead of them.

Flood Victims Deserve Action, Not TalkTo the editor:

As a candidate for the Wash-ington state Senate, I was invited to attend an update presentation at the Baw Faw Grange in Curtis on the efforts to determine a so-lution to the flooding in the Lew-is County basin area that was so particularly devastated in 2007.

People who were directly af-fected by the highest water levels in modern history found it hard to keep their emotions in check. Property loss, loss of livestock and equipment, and the impact to generations of families made it hard for even those of us not directly involved to not feel their pain and frustration five years after the event.

In reality, this is a problem and a concern that has been dis-cussed and studied and studied and discussed for decades. And all we have had to show for all that previous activity was a stack of studies, many “solutions” and a whole lot of empty words. Until now.

The July 10 update showed a proposed solution that ad-dressed most all of the concerns to protect residents, businesses, farms and the Interstate 5 cor-ridor. Proposed was a series of retention projects within the ba-sin that will allow a sudden and tremendous downpour of rain to be spread out more evenly across the entire basin and released at a controlled and measured rate, al-lowing water to drain out of the basin without cresting anywhere near the 2007 flood levels.

This is a solution that is vi-able, doable and affordable, and should be endorsed by all who have worked so hard and dili-gently since the 2007 event.

And, in order to gain the re-quired momentum to successful-ly navigate the bureaucratic red tape of the approval and funding process, I would suggest that our elected state representatives from

Lewis County secure the sup-port of our neighboring districts in Thurston, Cowlitz and Clark counties.

Whenever I-5 is closed due to high water, the domino effect into these adjoining counties is not being able to move freight up and down the corridor, cost-ing manufacturers, trucking and distribution companies millions of dollars a day in lost mobility.

During the time — 10 to 15 years — that it will take to plan and construct this project, im-provements in weather moni-toring and emergency warning communications will help to protect the lives of our citizens. It amounts to a win-win-win for all who experienced 2007 to-gether. And it is way past time for the talk to stop and the action to begin. The people who have had to live with this problem deserve that.

I know that this will be one of my main priorities if elected to the state Senate in November.

Citizens Should Control Our Political ProcessTo the editor:

Recently, I was talking with a woman who told me that she was not active in politics. The reason, she said, was that political parties are always focused on re-electing incumbents or building a brand, instead of doing what is best for America.

What struck me about this conversation is that this is exactly the type of person we need in the political process. This woman truly understood what the in-cumbent political class has for-gotten — that every elected per-son is a public servant chosen to represent the people.

It is we the people who elect those who serve. Those elected should never forget that we have

every right to question what they have accomplished, and if they have represented our needs. As it stands, incumbents believe that they should not be challenged or questioned, and that it is their right to hold a seat. This seat belongs to the people and those chosen represent the voters.

The beginning of the 1800s was a time of the second great awaking in American history. Through this movement, many came to Christ and all knew that they could be saved if they placed their faith in Christ. This new trust in God totally changed the way people view American and the political system.

Now the belief was that men with God’s help could be good. The byproduct of the Great Awakening was that people’s view of men had changed, and the common man’s influence was no longer to be feared.

In 1828, Andrew Jackson, the first president “of the people,” was elected because of this think-ing. In his inaugural speech Jack-son felt privileged “to be elected under the circumstances which have marked the recent contest of opinion to administer the af-fairs of a government deriving all its powers from the will of the people, a government whose vital principle is the right of the people to control its measures.” Jackson was the first American president to see himself as the president of the everyday folks.

Now, 184 years later, we need to stop and evaluate what has happened to the government for the people, by the people and of the people. We need to remind the politicians that we have a right to replace any elected of-ficial who does not represent the American people. Join me in making 2012 the year of the peo-ple by getting involved in taking these parties back and gaining responsible government.

I know it’s old news by now, but I feel compelled to give my two cents worth on the arrest of the surviving alleged killer of Ed and Minnie Maurin nearly 27 years ago. If I were Rick Riffe, I’d waste no time in trying to bargain a confession to a lesser crime instead of hoping to win a victory in a jury trial.

Why? Because, if I were Dennis Hadaller I would be tempted to be my own judge and jury if Riffe were to walk out of the courtroom a free man. How many cop shows have we seen on televi-sion where a person is found not guilty by a confused jury, only to be gunned down by a grieving survivor on the courthouse steps.

Yes, if I were Riffe I’d choose a shorter prison time over the very good possibility of death from a person, who, nearing his own end of life af-ter more than a quarter century of working to achieve justice, would have nothing much to lose by taking matters into his own hands.

I remember a conversation with former Sheriff Bill Logan many years ago when he said,

“Oh we know who did it, and we know where they are. We just can’t prove it in a court of law.”

I know I’m labeled a bleeding heart liberal, but I was raised to believe in the Biblical dictum,

“An eye for an eye.” To those who claim that the

death penalty is not a deterrent to murder, my answer is, of course it isn’t a deterrent, be-cause it isn’t enforced. Except in Texas.

•••

I officiated at two weddings last weekend (July is a busy month with eight weddings already on my calendar.) The reason for mentioning this is because in both of the wed-dings I had also officiated at the wedding of the bride’s parents roughly 20 years ago! That re-alization was enough to go back

to my records to see that I have tied 875 marital knots since I began in 1990.

•••

There is one commercial on television that is particularly galling to me. It’s the one for a company that makes jams and jellies and has the slogan “With a name like ----- it has to be good.” You know the one. Two boys — known as children of the company CEO from previ-ous commercials — are playing a game of Hide and Seek.

They both have fresh hair-cuts. Their hair is carefully combed and plastered down. They are wearing brand new, freshly cleaned and pressed clothes, and THERE IS NOT A SPOT OF DIRT ON EITHER ONE OF THEM!

Now, how can we believe the product is any good if the commercial is so obviously phony? Someone at the adver-tising agency either had a very bad idea or caved in to pressure from the client.

•••

I see where someone spot-ted an odd formation in the bark of a tree, and immediately it was touted to be the face of the Virgin Mary. We shouldn’t have been surprised. Whenever an image appears which has a faint resemblance to a human face it’s always either Jesus or the Virgin Mary. It’s never W. C. Fields, or Myrna Loy, or a half-wit cousin from eastern Pennsylvania. It’s ALWAYS Je-sus or Mary.

•••

Here’s one from the “Can’t Win” department. For as long as there has been civilization, gays have been criticized for their perceived promiscuity. Now they’re being criticized for just the opposite: wanting to settle down into a traditional family life by making a commitment and getting married.

That’s enough for this week.

How wired is Washing-ton?

Nine in 10 residents here age 3 or older lived in a home with a computer in 2010, and 84 percent of them could ac-cess the Internet from home

— ranking Washington ahead of the nation and third among the states and the Dis-trict of Columbia, according to census data.

Only in Utah and New Hampshire did residents use computers and the Internet at higher rates than in Wash-ington.

For the past 26 years, through its Current Popu-lation Survey, the Census Bureau has periodically in-quired about the nation's In-ternet and computer access, as use of both has exploded everywhere.

In its most recent survey, the census found that nation-ally in 2010, 80 percent of people lived in a home with a computer and 75 percent had Internet access in that home.

While the census doesn't issue the report every year, the state's rankings have re-mained fairly consistent since the bureau began doing the survey in 1984.

In 2001, for example, 66 percent of all Washington households had a computer and 60 percent had Internet access. Washington ranked third then, too.

Even as the price of com-puters has dropped and com-petition has driven down the cost of Internet service, ac-cess to both still varies geo-graphically and is based on various social and economic factors.

Urban households, for ex-ample, are more likely to be wired than rural areas, and states in the North and West more likely than Southern states.

In 2010, eight of the 10 states with the lowest rates of both computer and Internet access were spread across the South, while those at the top included such states as Mas-sachusetts, Oregon, New Jer-sey and Maryland.

Ironically, California, home of the Silicon Valley, was ranked 22nd for Internet access and 21st for computer access at home.

When it came to hand-held computer devices, such as smartphones, Washington fell a few notches down the list.

Just more than 27 percent of residents say they have such a device. Alaska, Utah, Oregon, Hawaii and Wash-ington, D.C., had higher rates.

Washington Ranked Third in Computer, Internet Use

OLYMPIA (AP) — The state Health Department reports the number of whooping cough cas-es in Washington this year has topped 3,000.

At this time last year there were only about 200 cases.

The department says the dis-ease also known as pertussis has been reported in nearly every county in the state, but Skagit has the highest rate.

Whooping cough is most common in children and most dangerous for infants. Vaccina-tions are the best way to prevent the spread of the disease.

Health Secretary Mary Se-lecky declared the epidemic in April, and since then the vaccine has been made available for peo-ple who don't have insurance.

The Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention plans a brief-ing Thursday on the epidemic in Washington.

Whooping Cough Exceeds 3,000 Cases in Washington

OLYMPIA — Washington state saw continued job growth last month, but state officials said Wednesday that the un-employment rate remained un-changed at 8.3 percent.

According to numbers re-leased by the state Employment Security Department, there was an estimated net gain of 10,200 jobs from May to June, with the biggest growth in professional and business services, manufac-turing, and leisure and hospitality.

"We're gradually building momentum on the job front," Mark Berreth, a labor economist with Employment Security, said in a written statement. "We've now regained more than half the number of jobs we lost dur-ing the recession."

The state lost about 205,000 jobs from when employment peaked in February 2008 to the low point in February 2010. With June's numbers, the state has seen a net gain of about

111,400 jobs since February 2010. All the gains have been in private-sector jobs: with 123,600 gained during that period, while the public sector has seen a loss of 12,200. Four industries saw a loss of jobs in June, including education and health services, government, financial activities, and construction.

The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the esti-mated number of unemployed who have sought work within

the past four weeks by the state's total civilian labor force.

An estimated 293,200 people were unemployed and looking for work in Washington state in June. Nearly 145,000 claimed un-employment benefits last month.

More than 4,500 unem-ployed workers ran out of un-employment benefits last month. Since extended benefits were ac-tivated in July 2008, more than 101,000 people have exhausted their benefits.

State Gains 10,200 Jobs in June

Liquor Law Sends Boozers to the BorderSALEM, Ore. (AP) — Or-

egon liquor sales surged 35 per-cent in June at stores near the border with Washington as new regulations here took ef-fect north of the Columbia River, Oregon Liquor Control Com-mission data show.

The numbers back up anec-dotal reports that shoppers from Washington have been cross-ing the border to escape higher liquor prices resulting from an initiative that voters approved last year.

One store in Rainier across the Columbia from Longview, saw a 60 percent increase in June over the same month in 2011, ac-cording to OLCC data obtained by The Associated Press un-der Oregon's public records law. Stores in Umatilla and Milton-Freewater — close to the Tri-Cit-ies and Walla Walla in Washing-ton, respectively — reported sales spikes above 50 percent.

Altogether, at 13 liquor stores near the Washington border, rev-enue was up 35 percent in June, providing Oregon an influx of nearly $870,000 in gross revenue.

Statewide, liquor sales grew by just 12 percent.

The state doesn't track where buyers live, so there's no conclu-sive proof that the Washington law is driving the influx, but owners of several border stores said their new customers are af-ter lower prices in Oregon.

"We haven't done any adver-tising to promote it, but word of mouth is getting out there, and we're just continuing to grow," said Paul Babin, owner of State Line Liquor Store at Jantzen Beach in Portland, the first Ore-gon liquor store along Interstate 5 south of Vancouver, Wash.

The store's nearly $930,000 in June revenue was a 46 percent increase over the same month last year, and much larger than the modest increase Babin saw at his other store, in South-east Portland. Babin estimates that 80 percent of his business comes from Washington resi-dents, and he now requires an additional shipment of booze each week.

Washington voters last fall approved an initiative taking the state out of the liquor business for the first time since Prohibi-tion. The measure allows large retailers like grocery stores and Costco to sell liquor, but it also imposed an additional 10 per-cent distributor fee and 17 per-

cent retail fee to replace money the state lost when it shut down its state-run liquor stores. The result was higher prices for con-sumers at many retail outlets.

Oregon law allows the sale of packaged hard liquor only at stores run by state-contracted agents who are compensated based on their sales. The profits are divided by the state, cities and counties.

Sandi Carlson, assistant man-ager at the Rainier Liquor Store, said she's heard a lot of "horror stories about Washington's pric-es," and she doesn't' expect the new customers to disappear.

"A lot of people are stocking up, but I think it will continue this way," Carlson said."

Mike Gowrylow, spokes-man for the Washington state Department of Revenue, said Washingtonians who buy liquor or other items in Oregon, where there is no state sales tax, are supposed to pay a "use tax" on their purchases.

"It's bringing back tangible personal property they'd have to pay at the same rate as Washing-ton's sales tax," Gowrylow said. Consumers are supposed to cal-culate taxes owed by getting in-formation from the Department of Revenue website, something Gowrylow conceded was diffi-cult to enforce.

"We're not holding our breath that a lot of people will do that," he said.

In Remembrance

norma "Darlene" (olson) ritzman

Norma “Darlene” (Olson) Ritzman of Port Orchard passed away at the age of 75, on July 11, 2012 in Tacoma, Wash.

Calendar: Historians to Stage ‘Battle of Chehalis’; Seminary Hill Flora; GroupsContinued from Main 2

KELSO (AP) — The trial of a Longview couple accused of mistreating five adopted children began with a 14-year-old boy testifying that the pair hardly fed him so he resorted to eating dog food.

The boy weighed only 50 pounds — half the normal weight for his age — when he and four adopted sisters were placed in protective custody in March of last year, The Daily News reported.

Jeffrey and Rebecca Trebil-cock rigged a motion-sensing alarm to keep their adopted children from taking food, some of which was kept locked up, Deputy Prosecutor James Smith said Monday in Cowlitz County Superior Court.

The Trebilcocks, both 45, have denied the abuse and sug-gested other health problems caused the children to be under-weight. Each is charged with one count of first-degree criminal mistreatment and four counts of second-degree criminal mis-treatment in the bench trial be-fore Judge Michael Evans.

The boy was severely mal-nourished and near death when he was rushed to a Portland hos-pital last year, his heart beating so slowly one doctor was sur-prised he was conscious, Smith said. The boy and his four ad-opted sisters, ages 8 and 13, all rapidly gained weight and im-proved in health once they were away from the Trebilcocks.

The couple’s four biological children, most of them in their

late teens, were well-fed, author-ities said.

Defense lawyers Kevin Blon-din and Ted Debray said the Tre-bilcocks are good parents who clothed their children and gave them all the food they wanted. The kids were underweight be-cause they’d recently suffered a bout of the flu, the attorneys told the judge.

The lawyers suggested other

medical problems, such as fetal alcohol syndrome, also could explain the boy’s condition.

The boy who testified Mon-day said he wasn’t allowed to use the bathroom at night so he urinated in a cup. He said that if his parents found the cup, they made him drink it.

The boy said his parents taped his mouth shut as a pun-ishment. He testified that he

was often cold and damp. When he wet himself or the bed, the Trebilcocks made him wash his own sheets and clothes in a bucket in the yard, regardless of how cold or wet the weather. He then hung the clothes and sheets outside.

He wasn’t allowed to wear shoes often on the Trebil-cocks’ roughly 30 acres in west Longview and did chores —

feeding and watering goats and other animals — in his bare feet, he said. And his parents insisted that his bare feet be inspected before he came inside to ensure that he didn’t track dirt into the house. But no one would bother, he said, so he spent hours hud-dled on the porch. If he cried about it, he said, his mother or another family member popped out the door and doused him with cold water from a glass.

The boy said his parents sometimes fed him on the porch. They put food in a plastic po-tato salad container, which they called his trough, then passed it out the door to him. Breakfasts often amounted to dry oatmeal, he said. And on at least one oc-casion the Trebilcocks gave him moldy bread because they didn’t want it to go to waste.

“They gave it to me in the back in my trough,” he said.

The boy’s biological sister and another sister who was born in Haiti testified Tuesday. One of the girls, a 12-year-old, said she wouldn’t get to eat if she didn’t finish her chores, KATU reported. She said she was also made to stand outside in the cold with no jacket or shoes.

The girl testified she stole bread and took toothpaste from the bathroom to eat.

The prosecutor showed a pic-ture of a locked cabinet in the Trebilcocks’ master bedroom. It was stocked with food, includ-ing candy bars and soap.

The trial is expected to last two weeks.

Longview Couple on Trial Accused of Child Abuse

Bill Wagner / The Daily News

Jeffrey and Rebecca Trebilcock, of Longview, listen to the prosecuting attorney lay out his arguments against them for abuse

of adopted children during a bench trial Monday in Cowlitz County Superior Court, in Kelso. The couple are accused of

mistreating five adopted children which began with a 14-year-old boy testifying that the pair hardly fed him so he resorted

to eating dog food.

SEATTLE — The Washing-ton Supreme Court on Wednes-day gave another win to the co-alition that sued the state over the way it pays for basic educa-tion.

In a follow-up to its January ruling, the court said the coali-tion of school districts, parents, teachers and community groups will get a chance to critique the Legislature’s reports on its prog-ress toward meeting the goal of fully paying for basic education.

In the two-page order signed by Chief Justice Barbara Mad-sen, the court also set specific deadlines for filing those re-ports, which must show “real and measurable” progress to-

ward achieving full compliance with the Constitution.

The order left open the possi-bility of further action. It also set a firm deadline of 2018 to fix the way the state pays for education in Washington.

The lawyer representing the coalition called the decision fan-tastic.

“This is as good as I could possibly expect,” Thomas Ahearne said.

The Washington attorney general’s office was more reserved.

“We think that it strikes a good balance between the court’s desire to monitor progress and the Legislature’s decision-mak-ing authority,” said Janelle Guth-rie, spokeswoman for Attorney General Rob McKenna.

In January, the court ruled that

the state isn’t meeting its constitu-tional obligation to amply pay for basic education, but it also gave an endorsement to the reform work the Legislature already started.

That reform work was men-tioned in Wednesday’s order as a good framework for the future. The first report is due in 60 days. Future reports are due within 60 days after the governor signs the state budget each year. A copy of those reports are to be filed with the court, given to the coalition’s attorney and may be published on the Legislature’s Web page.

The coalition’s attorney will have 30 days after that to file their written response and then the court will review the reports and decide whether to take further ac-tion, which could include asking for more information or directing

the trail court to do further fact-finding or assigning someone else to oversee the process.

In their briefs to the court af-ter the January decision, the co-alition had asked for a role in the review process, while the state had argued against that idea.

“The court really is saying in this order: We take the constitu-tion seriously,” Ahearne said.

The 85-page ruling in Janu-ary said the judiciary would keep an eye on lawmakers to make sure they fully implement education reforms by 2018.

State Supreme Court Sets Next Steps School Suit for Basic Education

Clark County Prisoner Suffocated

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — The Clark County medical examiner says a pris-oner at the county jail who died in February suffocated as he was being restrained by officers.

The cause of death was released Wednesday for 28-year-old Marius Asa-nachescu, who was being held for investigation of second-degree assault. The medical examiner’s office said he suf-focated because officers who were trying to keep him from hurting himself compressed his chest and prevented him from breathing.

The office also said psy-chosis was an underlying cause and obesity a “signifi-cant condition” leading to the death.

Vancouver police detec-tives continue to investigate.

The Clark County Sher-iff’s Office said Wednesday that its internal affairs unit is conducting its own investiga-tion and reviewing any appli-cable policies and procedures.

The officers involved were initially put on admin-istrative leave but have since returned to work.

OUTSIDE VIEW:

Combination of Projects Needed, According to Draft Document

By Bianca Fortis

[email protected]

A draft of a major report that could impact the future of flood mitigation projects in the Che-halis River basin was released Monday.

The 276-page report gives history of some of the major flood events in the basin, ex-plains how flooding has affected people in the basin and details what responses to flooding have been. It also includes interviews with people who have been af-fected by floods and a list of flood mitigation projects and alternatives.

In 2011, the state Legislature provided funding to the Cheha-lis River Basin Flood Authority; as a stipulation, the Legislature required the Office of Finan-cial Management to complete a report on flood mitigation proj-ects. OFM contracted with the Ruckelshaus Center, a nonprofit organization, for $274,855 to complete the report.

The projects listed in the re-port are predominantly oriented around Centralia and Chehalis because, over the past several

decades, most studies have fo-cused on the Twin Cities. Many projects do not have cost esti-mates.

The report notes that, be-cause of the complex hydrology and diverse geography and hu-man communities within the basin, no one project can allevi-ate flooding on its own. Instead, it is likely that a combination of projects will be needed.

The report provides an ini-tial set of three examples of proj-ect combinations.

The report reads: “The pur-pose of these project combina-tions is to show how potential flood mitigation benefits would change if various projects were combined. They are not present-ed as preferred or recommended options, only as examples; many other possible combinations exist. Each provides a different mix of potential flood mitiga-tion benefits and potential natu-ral resource risks and impacts and costs.”

Combination 1 is made up of

floodwalls and berms to protect Interstate 5, improvements to the Airport Levee, and Mellen Street and Scheuber Road flood-water bypasses, Skookumchuck levees and modification of the Sickman Ford and Wakefield Road bridges.

Combination 2 consists of a dam on the Chehalis River, the Airport Levee improvements, improvements to the Skookum-chuck levees, modification of the Sickman-Ford and Wake-field Road bridges and a small floodwall along I-5 near Dillen-baugh Creek.

Combination 3 is made up of a dam on the Chehalis River, the Airport levee improvements and flood walls and berms to protect I-5, improvements to the Skoo-kumchuck levees and modifica-tion of the Sickman-Ford and Wakefield Road bridges.

Lewis County Commis-sioner Ron Averill, who sits on the Flood Authority, said, of

the three combinations, he pre-ferred the third. The second could be a fallback if it’s studied further.

The first, he said, is unac-ceptable.

“It just protects I-5,” he said. “It doesn’t provide any water re-tention at all. In my estimation, all you’re doing when you put up walls and levees is direct where the water goes.”

Edna Fund, the Centralia city councilor who also sits on the Flood Authority, said she prefers the second combination and is also against protecting just I-5.

“Whenever I see ‘flood walls on I-5,’ I think of water staying off I-5, yet it goes onto our citi-zens,” she said.

The final report will be com-pleted at the end of August.

RESTORATION: School Board Discusses $323,000 to Spend on Programs Lost in Budget Cuts

By Amy Nile

[email protected]

The Centralia School Board met Wednesday to discuss spending $323,000 to restore or partially restore several edu-cational programs the district lost due to budget cuts in recent years.

School board member Mi-chael Kelly said the district is fortunate to be restoring some of the programs lost after four years of cuts that he said amount to $2.3 million.

The board is proposing to fully restore a few of the pro-grams, including spending $195,000 for all-day kindergar-ten and $67,000 for the summer school program.

Other programs are pro-posed to receive funding for partial restoration including $13,000 for the district’s pro-gram for highly capable stu-dents.

The state defines a highly capable student as a one who exhibits high capability in in-tellectual and/or creative areas, possesses an unusual leadership capacity, or excels in specific ac-ademic fields, who requires ser-vices beyond the basic programs provided by schools, according to the Office of Superintendent

of Public Instruction’s website. Kelly said there was much

public outcry when the pro-gram was cut from the Centra-lia School District. The board recently received a petition from a parent group with more than 200 signatures of community members urging the board to fully restore the program. Kelly said the board discussed the petition at their June 25 budget workshop.

Kelly brought up allocating more money to the highly capa-ble program at the Wednesday evening meeting.

“I see it as a benefit not only to our kids but also to the tax-payers,” Kelly told the board.

The board members agreed to meet again to discuss the res-torations before the final budget is approved but have yet to set a date for that meeting.

“My fear though is as you restore programs, you have to make sure you can keep paying for them,” said Robert Fuller, another board member.

The board will meet Aug. 15 to approve a final budget plan for next year.

PREVENTION: Planned Parenthood’s Teen Council Members Aim to Protect Peers from Pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Diseases

By Amy Nile

[email protected]

Editor’s note: This is the sec-ond of a two-part series on teen mothers in Lewis County.

Local teens have teamed with Centralia’s Planned Parent-hood and area school districts to combat adolescent pregnancy, HIV and sexually transmitted infections.

Caitlin Simmons, a com-munity outreach educator for Planned Parenthood, works to-ward prevention by teaching in area schools.

“Not talking about it doesn’t make it go away,” she said.

The teen pregnancy rate in Lewis County in 2010 was 27.9 per 1,000 women ages 15 to 17 years old, or 41 pregnancies, according to the Washington State Department of Health. The same rate for the state was 21.9 pregnancies per 1,000 women.

Because the rate varies from year to year due to the relatively small numbers, DOH looks at rates for 3 years combined. In Lewis County, for 2008 through 2010, the teen pregnancy rate was 28.8, compared to the state rate of 24.4 pregnancies per 1000 women ages 15 to 17.

Simmons said education is critical, especially in rural areas like Lewis County.

“One of the most important reasons is because people are sex-ually active,” she said. “You’d nev-er toss someone into a pool with-out teaching them how to swim.”

A 2010 Healthy Youth Survey found that 65 percent of high school seniors are having sex in Lewis County, compared to 53 percent statewide.

“We are certainly promot-ing abstinence with teens. But that doesn’t happen with a lot of teens,” said Ryl Sherrett, the manager of Planned Parent-hood’s Centralia and Shelton health centers. “Planned Parent-hood does not OK kids to have sex. ...It’s not about giving them permission to be promiscuous.”

Simmons said abstinence is a great policy for families but it’s not a good public health policy.

Simmons leads the local Teen Council Program, which is a group of teens from area high

schools that aim to prevent teen pregnancy and disease.

Elyssa Smiley, a sophomore at W.F. West High School in Chehalis, became a teen council member after her friend had a miscarriage at age 15.

She said she often answers questions from peers about birth control and emergency contraception and remembers one time in which her knowl-edge was particularly useful.

“They had a pregnancy scare and they were one of those sweet and innocent girls so they were freaking out,” she said.

After receiving the training, Smiley said, she helps students locate information to protect themselves.

“Even if they don’t want kids to do it, they need to learn about it anyway,” Smiley said.

Holly Haviland, a junior at Adna High School and a teen council member, said peers often ask questions via text message because sometimes they are too embarrassed to ask in person.

“They don’t have to wonder, “Who’s going to kill me,’” she said. “It’s not that they don’t have a con-nection with their parents, it’s just they might not want to talk about that with them.”

The teen council members have even met with legislators in Olympia to discuss reproductive planning and legislation.

Every dollar that Washing-ton state spends on family plan-ning saves $4 because uninsured women can get care, according to Planned Parenthood’s data.

“It costs so much less for a year of birth control. Provid-ing for family planning makes sense,” said Simmons.

Simmons said recent legisla-tion across the country to restrict women’s access to contraception, abortion and other health services feels like a war on women’s health.

“We fought really hard for women’s rights. You want to take our right to vote away too? It’s in the same container,” Sherrett added. “Why make it a whole state’s business? Before con-demning an organization like Planned Parenthood find out what it’s all about. It’s a women’s and men’s health clinic.”

The Centralia health center treated 1,777 unduplicated pa-tients in 2011.

The organization is funded mostly by donations and service payments, with a quarter of the funding coming from the gov-ernment.

The clinic does not base treatment on ability to pay and offers a sliding scale for fees

based on income of the patient, with the average cost of a visit around $25. Sherrett would like to see more patients with insur-ance because service payments help their bottom line.

One in five women use the services for cancer prevention and sexually transmitted infec-tion (STI) testing and treatment. Men visit for check ups, STI test-ing and treatment and vasecto-my counseling.

“I wish word got out that we’re not just birth control,” Sherrett said. “Once you get labeled it’s really hard.”

In Lewis County, the most common services provided are annual women’s health screenings, birth control, pregnancy testing and STI testing and treatment.

Planned Parenthood offers many health programs, includ-ing one that will treat a STI pa-tient’s partner or partners for free. Another program pays for birth control and a pap yearly and cov-ers men in need of a vasectomy.

Planned Parenthood also takes walk-ins and has appointments for Spanish-speaking patients.

While Planned Parenthood does provide abortion, 92 per-cent of the services for preventive health reasons. The Centralia clinic only provides medication abortions and does not perform surgical abortion at all.

“The last thing in the world Planned Parenthood wants is for someone to get an abortion,” Sher-rett said. “But I don’t think it’s right to take away a woman’s choice.”

Sherrett said the clinic is a place where people can get education.

“This stuff isn’t tucked in a drawer,” she said. “If people who are so anti would just come in for an hour, it’d make a huge difference.”

THE BIG PICTURE:

Possibilities Pregnancy Center Aims to Prevent Teen Pregnancy With Discussion of Overall Goals

By Amy Nile

[email protected]

Possibilities Pregnancy Center in Centralia, former-ly the Care Center of Lewis County, has expanded its ap-proach to preventing teen pregnancy and providing ser-vices to women in the com-munity.

The faith-based center re-cently changed its name after hiring a medical doctor to ap-prove education and provide free pregnancy verification, which is testing with a stand-ing doctor’s order that enables women to get health insurance for their pregnancy.

Previously, the Care Center of Lewis County only offered pregnancy testing, so clients with a positive result still had to have a medical verification before they could receive so-cial services. Now, Possibilities Pregnancy Center specializes in pregnancy verification and continues to support for those choosing to give birth with counseling and resources for to-be moms like diapers, wipes and baby clothing.

While the organization mostly focuses on advocacy for women who are already pregnant, it does teach some prevention classes in juve-nile detention centers, a few local high schools and does workshops for various youth groups.

“We do a prevention piece by empowering women in their choices,” said the Ex-ecutive Director Celeste Avy.

“It really is more about total goals because these kids have to start thinking about more than just getting out of high school.”

The program focuses on helping teens make the appro-priate choices to attain their goals and is not intended to be a health curriculum. It does not include information on birth control but covers the consequences of sexual activ-ity.

While the program does not focus on abstinence, Avy said, it does discuss the ben-efits of it.

“It’s about making the kids cognitively think about those choices,” Avy said.

For teen or adult women already in need of a free preg-nancy test, the center first of-fers counseling on the posi-tives and negatives of each decision before administering the test.

“We really believe women are really intelligent and once they get the information, they can make a decision,” Avy said.

If the result is negative, counselors discuss how not to come back.

Clients with questions regarding birth control are given a Department of Health pamphlet on contraceptive choices and are referred to a physician.

For women who are preg-nant, the center provides pre-natal support and education. Those interested in adoption are referred to an agency spe-cializing in that field. While the organization does not pro-vide referrals for abortion, it will provide support for the woman once she has terminat-ed her pregnancy.

“We basically support the person where they’re at,” Avy said.

Nation/WorldNation in Brief

More Than 3 Million Older Americans Risk Losing Homes, Minorities Hit Hardest

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 1.5 million older Americans already have lost their homes, with millions more at risk as the national housing crisis takes its toll on those who are among the worst positioned to weather the storm, a new AARP report says.

Older African Americans and Hispanics are the hardest hit.

“The Great Recession has been brutal for many older Americans,” said Debra Whit-man, AARP’s policy chief. “This shows that home ownership doesn’t guarantee financial se-curity later in life.”

Even working two jobs hasn’t been enough to allow Jewel Lew-is-Hall, 57, to make her monthly mortgage payments on time. Her husband has made little money since being laid off from his job at a farmer’s market, and Lewis-Hall said her salary as a school cook falls short of what she needs to make the payments on her home in Washington.

With Quixotic Bills, Congress Can’t Resist Allure of the Presidential Race

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is spending this week de-bating, and summarily rejecting, Democratic-written bills to dis-close the names of people who give more than $10,000 to help elect people such as, say, Mitt Romney, and to take away tax breaks from companies taken over by people such as, say, Mitt Romney, who move operations overseas.

Their latest effort, unveiled Wednesday, would make candi-dates for federal office, like, say, Mitt Romney, disclose any of their financial holdings in offshore tax havens, such as Bermuda or the Cayman Islands.

Senate Democrats certainly aren’t alone in devoting congres-sional workdays to bills attacking the other party’s presidential can-didate.

House Republicans last week voted to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. Next week, they plan to vote on freezing all of former President George W. Bush’s tax cuts for an-other year, including those on the top 2 percent, whom Obama says should pay more. On Wednes-day, the House passed a GOP bill ordering Obama to specify how many thousands of defense work-ers will lose their jobs if the deficit-cutting deal he and Republicans negotiated a year ago stands.

Swarming Invasive Insect Found in U.S. for 1st Time

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An in-vasive insect commonly found in south-central Europe has been detected in southwestern Idaho, marking the first time the elm seed bug has been spotted in the U.S., according to federal officials.

A U.S. Agriculture Depart-ment specialist has confirmed the discovery of the pests that officials say don’t pose a threat to trees, despite their name — but do tend to enter houses and buildings in huge swarms.

The Idaho Department of Agriculture issued a statement Wednesday warning that the bugs recently found in Ada and Canyon counties can prove to be a “significant nuisance” for homeowners. Elm seed bugs in-vade homes during the summer to escape heat, and then stick around through the winter, the department said.

The quarter-inch pests, which feed on elm tree seeds and resemble tiny, brown cock-roaches with triangular back markings, do not pose a public health risk, officials said. But the bugs can have an unpleasant odor, “especially when crushed,” said Pamela Juker, a spokes-woman for the Idaho Agricul-ture Department.

World in Brief

Syrian Troops Attack Rebel Areas in and Around Damascus

BEIRUT (AP) — Anti-regime activists say government forces are shelling a number of neigh-borhoods in and around the capi-tal Damascus a day after a bomb killed three members of President Bashar Assad’s inner circle.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported shelling in number of areas today. It says residents are fleeing parts of the Mezzeh neigh-borhood after troops surrounded it and clashed with local rebels.

The group says rebels dam-aged one helicopter and disabled three military vehicles.

Wednesday’s bombing tar-geted a high-level crisis meeting, killing the defense minister, his deputy, who is Assad’s brother-in-law, and a former defense minister. Other officials were wounded.

The whereabouts of Assad, his wife and his three young children remain unknown.

Hezbollah Squeezed By Syria Uprising, Sunni Ascendency Across Region

SIDON, Lebanon (AP) — On a main road connecting the Lebanese capital with the south, Sheik Ahmad Assir kneels un-der a blazing sun to pray and then sits down with supporters at his anti-Hezbollah protest camp and launches into a new tirade against Lebanon’s most powerful and well-armed force.

“By God, Nasrallah, I will not let you sleep at night,” he vows in a fiery speech, addressing He-zbollah’s leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah.

Few in Lebanon have dared take on the Shiite militant group in such a public way, but Assir, a hardline Sunni cleric, senses weakness. He sees a chance to push back against Hezbollah’s domination of the country’s politics.

The growing popularity among some Sunnis of the pre-viously little known local cleric is a sign of how vulnerable He-zbollah has become as it faces the possibility of the downfall of its crucial ally, President Bashar Assad in Syria. Its reputation as a popular resistance movement has already taken a severe beat-ing for siding with Syria against the anti-Assad uprising even af-ter it supported Arab revolts in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Bah-rain.

UN to Vote Today on New Syria Resolution

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council scheduled a vote today on a new Syria resolution after a last-min-ute delay failed to get key West-ern nations and Russia to agree on measures to end the dramati-cally escalating violence — but both sides remained deeply di-vided.

Britain’s U.N. Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said his coun-try’s Western-backed text would be put to a vote at 10 a.m. on today. It threatens non-military sanctions against President Bashar Assad’s government if he doesn’t withdraw troops and heavy weapons from populated areas within 10 days and is tied to Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which could eventually allow the use of force to end the con-flict.

Russia, which is a close Syr-ian ally, has said it will veto any Chapter 7 resolution.

In Moscow on Wednesday, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov pointed to Wednesday’s deadly bombing in the heart of Damascus that killed the de-fense minister and his deputy, Assad’s powerful brother-in-law, and accused the West of inciting the Syrian opposition.

Russia is vehemently op-posed to sanctions and any mention of Chapter 7 and Lav-rov argued that the British text amounted to support for the rebels and would lead to more bloodshed.

WASHINGTON — Build-ers are putting up more houses than they have in nearly four years, a long-awaited recovery that could help energize the U.S. economy.

From areas like Phoenix that are finally arising from the hous-ing bust to Chicago and Minne-apolis, where strong economies have lifted demand, the outlook for home building looks healthier than at any time since sales and prices collapsed in 2007.

“We’ve been hoping for this for a long time,” said Celia Chen, a housing economist at Moody’s Analytics. “It looks like things are turning.”

The improvement has been gradual. But builders are respond-ing to interest from buyers drawn by reduced prices, record-low mortgage rates and rising rents, which have made home purchases comparatively appealing. And the supply of new homes has shrunk

to near-record lows.The increased construction

coincides with stronger home-builder confidence and higher stock prices for building com-panies. The stocks of the 13 U.S. builders whose shares are public-ly traded have increased an aver-age 60 percent this year. By con-trast, the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index is up about 9 percent.

Last month, U.S. build-ers broke ground on the most homes in nearly four years. Sin-gle-family home building — the bulk of the market — rose for a fourth straight month. Permits to build single-family homes reached their highest point since March 2010.

The news helped boost stock prices Wednesday. The Dow

Jones industrial average closed up 103 points.

Home construction still has a long way to go. June’s seasonally adjusted annual rate of 760,000 is the highest since October 2008. But it’s only about half the 1.5 million annual pace that econo-mists consider normal.

From the depth of the hous-ing bust in April 2009, when the seasonally adjusted annual rate bottomed at 478,000 homes, the improvement has been slow but steady.

Building increased in early 2010 as the government’s tax cred-its for home buyers lifted sales. Beginning that summer, the pace essentially stalled until late 2011, when it began rising gradually.

Arizona Sheriff Arpaio Faces Profiling Allegations At Trial By Jacques Billeaud


PHOENIX — For six years, the self-proclaimed toughest sheriff in America has vehe-mently denied allegations that his deputies racially profile La-tinos in his trademark immigra-tion patrols.

Joe Arpaio would dismiss his critics in his signature brash style at countless news confer-ences and in numerous appear-ances on television.

Now, the sheriff in Arizona’s most populous county will have to convince a federal judge who is presiding over a lawsuit that heads to trial on Thursday and is expected to last until early August.

The plaintiffs say Arpaio’s of-ficers based some traffic stops on the race of Hispanics who were in vehicles, had no probable cause to pull them over and made the stops so they could inquire about their immigration status.

“He is not free to say whatever he wants,” said Dan Pochoda, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, one of the groups that has pushed the lawsuit against Arpaio.

“He will be called as a witness in our case,” Pochoda said. “He will not have control over the flow of information, and he is not the final arbiter.”

The plaintiffs aren’t seeking money damages and instead are seeking a declaration that Ar-paio’s office racially profiles and an order that requires it to make changes to prevent what they said is discriminatory policing.

If Arpaio loses the civil case, he won’t face jail time or fines.

Arpaio declined to comment, and his lead attorney, Tim Casey, didn’t return a call seeking com-ment Wednesday.

But at a late June hearing, Casey said the sheriff wanted the trial so he could prove his critics wrong and remove the stigma that the racial profiling allegation carries. “What we want is resolution,” Casey said.

The lawsuit marks the first case in which the sheriff’s office has been accused of systematically

racially profiling Latinos and will serve as a bellwether for a simi-lar yet broader civil rights lawsuit filed against Arpaio in May by the U.S. Department of Justice.

That lawsuit makes many of the same racial profiling allega-tions, but goes further to say that Arpaio’s office retaliated against its critics, punished Latino jail inmates with limited English skills for speaking Spanish and failed to adequately investigate a large number of sex-crimes cases. No trial date in that case has been set.

Law Enforcement Monument Cast in BronzeMEMORIAL GROWS CLOSER: Tacoma Foundry Begins Process of Bronzing

By Stephanie Schendel

[email protected]

TACOMA — As artisans poured the 2,300-degree bronze into some of the first pieces of ceramic mold for Lewis County Law Enforcement Memorial,

“The Guardian,” it glowed bright red and heated the room.

Six people from the Lewis County Sheriff ’s Office, in ad-dition to Jim Stafford, the Adna artist who designed the statue, went to the Tacoma foundry Wednesday to see some of the first of bronze poured for some of the initial pieces of the statue. The first pieces of the statue filled were the chest, legs and head of the police officer.

The memorial will honor law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty since 1903. The statue will depict an officer kneeling on his right knee. His right hand is placed on a sitting police dog, and a young, con-cerned-looking girl looks up at him. The statue will be erected outside of the Law and Justice Center in Chehalis and a brick walkway will surround the it.

The casting and bronzing of the statue is taking place at Two Ravens Studio, located in Tacoma, which has six employees who work in the 5,000-square-foot foundry.

The statue will almost be true-to-life size, and will weigh about 500 pounds.

In order to make a monu-ment this large, the artisan crew needed to cut the mold into sev-eral smaller pieces, said Katrina Toft, co-owner of Two Ravens Studio. Once all the pieces of the mold are filled with bronze, they will be welded together. The welding will likely happen in about three months.

Once the bronze is poured, it takes several hours to completely cool, said Toft. While it cools, the ceramic mold it was poured into begins to crack, making it pos-sible to eventually chip it away.

The idea process for the

statue began last fall, and the clay model for the memorial was completed last January.

From that point, the nine-step process for casting and bronzing the statue began.

The mold for the statue is in about 20 different pieces, Toft said. The artisans just began the pro-cess of pouring the bronze into the molds, which will take anoth-er three months to complete

The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office Association is still in fun-draising mode for the remainder of the statue’s cost, said Sherri Guenther from the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. The association recently made the last payment toward the construction of the statue, totaling about $35,000.

They still need to raise a re-maining $20,000 to finish off the project, Guenther said. The memorial will hopefully be com-pleted by next spring, she said.

The sheriff ’s office associa-tion is currently hosting a “Buy a Brick” campaign to help fun-draise for the remaining costs of the memorial. People who purchase a brick will be able to engrave it with a short message. The bricks cost $100, and those interested can visit http://lewis-countywa.gov/sheriff/pennies-for-protectors.


Flames come out of a kiln as Kirk Hauptman drops a used crucible into the boiling hot leftover bronze after pouring it into

shells of pieces that will be used to construct a Lewis County law enforcement memorial statue on Wednesday at Two Ravens

Foundry in Tacoma.

MOVING UP: Lefthanded Toledo-Winlock Pitcher Gives Early Verbal Commitment to Play for Huskies

By Aaron VanTuyl

[email protected]

Athletes at small schools don't typically get a lot of looks from big-time colleges — and so, when Mack Gaul got his audi-tion, he made the most of it. The Toledo senior-to-be spent the spring and early summer emailing University of Washing-ton associate head baseball coach Dave Nakama. He sent Nakama a schedule, and eventually got word that Husky head coach Lind-sey Meggs would be on-hand to watch Gaul pitch for his summer Mudville Pinnacle 18U squad. The 6-foot-1 left-hander promptly worked a no-hitter into the eighth inning, and last week made a verbal commitment to play college baseball for the University of Washington. "It's been done before," he said, of a 1A ballplayer making the jump to the NCAA Division I level. "I've just put in a lot of hard work and tried to get noticed by the right people. It's trying to be in the right place at the right time, and a lot of coaches have put in the sacrifices to make me a better baseball player." The University of Washing-ton, he said, has been the goal for a while, both for its academic reputation and proximity to home.

ACCIDENTS: Climbers Sliding Down Mountain Cause Safety Concern

By Kyle Spurr

[email protected]

Gifford Pinchot National Forest officials issued a message this week reminding Mount St. Helens climbers to not purpose-ly slide down the active volcano after a day on the mountain. The reminder may seem obvious, but the Forest Ser-vice is serious about glissading down Mount St. Helens after a 26-year-old woman recently ended up hospitalized from de-liberately sliding down the ice and snow. Netsanet Habtu, 26, Seattle, was with a group of five people July 7 when she lost control sliding down the mountain, hit some rocks and suffered head and facial injuries, Tom Mc-Dowell, Assistant Chief of North Country Emergency Medical Services, said. The accident occurred around the 4,800-foot level of Mount St. Helens, about where a 14-year-old Boy Scout from Van-couver was also injured on July 3 from apparently falling down the mountain, McDowell said.

The boy temporality lost consciousness after hitting a rock as he fell. McDowell said he believes both climbers have recovered from their accidents. For the climbers who pur-posely slide down the mountain, McDowell said they tend to use large pieces of plastic. Unlike sledding in a back-yard as a child, McDowell said

sliding down the mountain on a piece of plastic is dangerous and can easily get out of control. Despite the danger, McDow-ell said many climbers still slide down each year and need to re-member to scope out the area before sliding. “They should look around to where they will end up,” Mc-Dowell said. The safety reminder comes

at a busy time of year for Mount St. Helens climbing. Gifford Pinchot National Forest spokesperson Ken San-dusky said climbing permits for the summer are sold out, but climbers can still check purmit.com for possible unused or can-celled permits. Permits for climbing from May 15 through Oct. 31 cost $22 each.

For The Chronicle

Most high-altitude hiking trails in Western Washing-ton are not accessible until the snows have melted out in Au-gust. However, there are a few alpine hikes on southern-facing slopes than have begun to open up in mid-July, and I had the pleasure of enjoying one such hike last week: the Eagle Peak trail in Mount Rainier National Park. With both of our sons now graduated from high school and heading off to college in the fall, my wife and I have tried to squeeze in as much family hik-ing as possible this summer. Hiking seems to be the one ac-tivity we all enjoy a great deal, and even with all of our crazy schedules a family hike followed by ice cream always seems to bring us together like nothing else.

Most of our favorite alpine hikes in the Olympics and Cascades require hours of highway driv-ing followed by miles and miles on remote, primitive logging roads just to reach the trailhead. But we set out from the South Sound relatively late last Friday morning because the Eagle Peak trailhead — to my great shock — can be found at the back of the Longmire parking lot. I’ve been going to Longmire for over 30 years, and I never knew this trailhead existed. You can consult the park’s web-site to find its exact location, but I’ll warn you, the trailhead is marked only by a small sign near the ground and is very easy to miss. Perhaps that’s why, even though Longmire is one of the most well-traveled places in the park, we saw only two other people during this 7.2 mile out-and-back hike. The hike itself is not spec-

tacular; it’s a steady uphill climb through old-growth forest with a couple nice creek crossings. But because the entire hike is southern-exposed, the snow melts sooner in the season, al-lowing hikers to climb to 5,500 feet much earlier than other hikes at similar altitudes. This hike is somewhat mis-named because the maintained trail does not actually take one to the top of Eagle Peak, but rather to a saddle between Eagle Peak and Chutla Peak. But upon reaching the saddle, the uphill climb rewards hikers with spec-tacular views. To the north looms the enor-mity of Mount Rainier, virtu-ally filling the entire sky. If you have sharp eyes, like my younger son Sawyer, you can see lines of climbers making their way across the Muir snowfield from Paradise to Camp Muir. If your eyes are not so good, like my older son Emerson’s, then car-

rying up a pair of binoculars is well-worth the extra weight. The real treat from the saddle is the view to the south, where we had a panoramic outlook of Mount St. Helens, Mount Ad-ams, and even the sharp, snowy peak of Mount Hood off in the distance. Sawyer is the photographer in the family. He’s won a num-ber of national competitions and awards for his photography, and he hauls his trusty Canon SLR along on every hike, the extra weight be damned. But Sawyer tells me that sometimes good photos involve just a bit of luck, as was the case last week at the Eagle Peak saddle. He snapped off a few land-scape shots, then lined up the rest of the family for the obliga-tory “We’ve reached the top” photo. It was at that moment that a proud mountain goat stood up from his resting spot on the snowbank above us, look-

ing for all the world like a stuffed trophy. Sawyer just kept shooting pictures and eventually let us in about the party-crasher behind us; one does not, after all, want to surprise a mountain goat. De-spite their generally docile na-ture, they can be aggressive and have caused severe injuries and even deaths of hikers who got too close. After the climb up, the 3.1 miles back to the car seemed relatively easy. We’d had a great family day together, Sawyer had a cool photo – and there was ice cream waiting back at the lodge in Longmire.

Rainier Hike Offers Gorgeous Views, a Few Surprises

MOUNT ST. HELENS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Climbing parties should use good judgment and take special care of weaker members and novice climbers

• Be prepared for treacherous slopes (steep and slick, with dan-gerous areas below), especially on the way down, going from the basin at timberline to the crest of Monitor Ridge

• Before climbing, gain knowl-edge of competent ice axe or ski poles use on all snow slopes and the ability to self-arrest a fall un-der any conditions

• Be aware of receding snow on current glissade paths higher on the Mountain, exposing rock hazards

• Stay well back from cornices along the summit rim

• Prepare for warming tem-peratures demanding climbers carry three liters of water at a minimum

• Know and use proper foot-wear, clothing, sun protection and sunglasses

• Prepare and carry gear for bad weather

• Carry a first aid kit and use it

• Experienced Forest Ser-vice climbing personnel and volunteers are present to assist in emergencies, but personal safety is ultimately the climber’s responsibility

GLOBAL: Basketball Stars From Other Countries Have Made it More Difficult for Team USA to Win Gold

By John Smallwood

Philadelphia Daily News (MCT)

WASHINGTON — OK, so the back-and-forth among Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley about whether the 2012 USA men’s Olympic team could have de-feated the original, one-and-on-ly “Dream Team” was fun.

For what it’s worth, I think the 1992 team was better, but not by as big a margin as Jordan, Barkley and now even President Obama have suggested.

In a seven-game-series, I think the Dream Team wins, 4-3.

But one factor that no one can dispute is that the competi-tion the United States will face starting in London is far supe-rior to anything the 1992 squad faced in Barcelona. The quality of play in other countries has increased exponentially since FIBA opened the Olympics to professional players in 1989 and NBA players first suited up in Barcelona.

With the growth of basket-ball worldwide and the prolif-eration of international players on NBA rosters, no USA team will ever again win an Olympic tournament by an average of 44 points, as the Dream Team did.

At this point, because of the quality of competition, winning an Olympic gold medal or FIBA world championship is good enough for the United States.

“We have to thank the Dream Team for making the game more global and allowing us to become international su-perstars,” said Sixers swingman Andre Iguodala, who had five points in the USA’s 80-69 vic-tory over Brazil in an exhibition game Monday night at the Veri-zon Center. “We can also thank them because there are a lot of great basketball players in the world now and that just shows how much the game has grown since the Dream Team.”

A lot of people believe that

the Dream Team came about because the United States want-ed to reassert its dominance after the Soviet Union beat up on our college kids at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.

That really wasn’t the case. Despite winning just a bronze medal, USA Basketball joined the Soviet Union in voting against the FIBA proposal to al-low professionals at the Olym-pics.

The NBA was not exactly overwhelmed when USA Bas-ketball asked it to fill the roster for the Barcelona Games with a team that included Jordan, Bar-kley, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and other superstar players. In perhaps the last marketing mis-calculation the NBA has made, it didn’t realize the world-wide cultural impact sending its most recognizable players would have. FIBA’s motive had nothing to do with American pride or NBA global marketing assets.

I don’t think anyone be-lieved basketball would reach the worldwide status of soccer, but being No. 2 in the world wouldn’t be a shabby proposi-tion.

For that to happen, FIBA needed the biggest and most recognizable faces in the game on the biggest international sports stage.

FIBA wanted the Dream Team to inspire a German youngster like Dirk Nowitzki to become so enamored with see-ing a player like Scottie Pippen in the Olympics that he would put down his soccer ball and pick up a basketball.

Things like that happened all over the world, and it wasn’t long before the international seeds that the Dream Team had planted begin flourishing and migrating to the NBA.

In 1992, the Dream Teamers faced only a handful of play-ers who would ever play in the NBA. The best were Toni Kukoc and Drazen Petrovic, of Croatia, Arvydas Sabonis and Sarunus Marciulionus, of Lithuania, and Detlef Schrempf, of Germany.

In pool play alone, the 2012 Olympic team will face NBA champion and All-Star Manu Ginobili, Milwaukee Bucks for-ward Carlos Delfino and vet-

eran NBA forward Luis Scola of Argentina; NBA champion and All-Star Tony Parker, plus NBA players Nicolas Batum, Boris Diaw, Kevin Seraphin and Ron-ny Turiaff, of France; and 2011 lottery pick Jonas Valanciunas and NBA veteran Linus Kleiza, of Lithuania.

Spain, another heavy fa-vorite, features the Lakers’ Pau Gasol, Grizzlies’ Marc Ga-sol, Raptors’ Jose Calderon and Thunder’s Serge Ibaka.

Even the host nation of Great Britain, which last played in the Olympics in 1948, fea-tures NBA All-Star Luol Deng, of the Chicago Bulls.

Monday night, Brazil, which is also going to London, fea-tured solid NBA players Ander-son Varejo, of Cleveland; Nene, of Washington; Tiago Splitter, of San Antonio; and Leandro Barbosa, of Indiana.

“I think even Charles Bar-kley said that (the Dream Team) didn’t face any team of any measure that stacked up to them,” Minnesota Timber-wolves forward Kevin Love said.

“We definitely have a lot of stiff competition from teams with guys who have come from over-seas and made big impacts in the NBA.”

The world is no longer in-timidated. No player will ask LeBron James for his autograph during an Olympic game.

The USA’s invincibility crumbled on Sept. 4, 2002, at the FIBA World Champion-ships in Indianapolis when Ar-gentina became the first nation to beat a USA team composed solely of NBA players. It took the world only one decade to catch up to the best the United States had to offer.

It’s no longer shocking for the USA to lose a big interna-tional tournament.

“It’s an eye-opening experi-ence,” said Love, who will be in his first Olympics. “It’s also an eye-opener to find out how many guys who are not in the NBA, but are still very good players. Basketball is now a game where, on any given day, any team can win or lose.”

That’s the legacy of the Dream Team. It’s a legacy Team USA will have to contend with in London.

The World Has Caught Up to USA in Basketball

By Annika McGinnis

McClatchy Newspapers (MCT)

WASHINGTON — Presi-dent Barack Obama on Wednesday thanked the Baylor University women’s basketball team for helping him get it right

— at least in the realm of NCAA basketball.

“I want to thank all the out-standing young women who are behind me, and the coach, for making my bracket look good — at least on the women’s side,” Obama joked. The presi-dent had correctly picked the Texas team to beat Notre Dame in the NCAA championship game.

“He’s the smartest president we’ve had,” said Lady Bears coach Kim Mulkey.

In the East Room of the White House, Obama con-gratulated the team for its 40-0 record as well as its academic and extracurricular successes. Some players had perfect GPAs, he said. They read for students at Waco elementary schools, worked at homeless shelters, built houses in Kenya and worked at an AIDS orphanage.

They are, he said, a “terrific example for girls everywhere.”

The Lady Bears broke the NCAA record — men’s and women’s — for the most wins in a single season. Their suc-cess comes 40 years after the passage of Title IX, which gave women and girls equal oppor-tunities to play sports.

“As the father of two daugh-ters who are tall and beautiful just like them, it is great to have role models who can show that women can be strong and ath-letic and competitive, but also play as a team,” Obama said.

Obama gave special recog-nition to the team’s star player, the Associated Press player of the year, 6-foot-8 Brittney Gri-ner.

“This young woman is the new face of women’s basketball.

She blocks shots, she rebounds, she’s got the jump hook, she’s got the dunk,” Obama said. Griner, along with the other team members, met the presi-dent individually before his speech.

“This means everything,” Griner said in an interview after the ceremony. “This is a once in a lifetime experience, to come to the White House, to meet the president, to shake his hand. It was amazing.”

Forward Destiny Williams agreed.

“He’s taller than I expected, though, unless his ears give him a couple inches,” Williams said.

Williams said the team achieved its success primarily through relentless hard work, although she said the players were having “so much fun” that they “weren’t really keeping up with the wins.”

Obama said Mulkey, AP’s coach of the year, is the first in the history of college basket-ball to win titles in three roles: player, assistant coach and head coach. Mulkey won two as a player and one as an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech, and now two as Baylor’s head coach.

“I heard she plans to win her next one as mascot,” Obama said to laughter.

The president has a long per-sonal history with basketball. In “Barack Obama: The Story,” author David Maraniss wrote that basketball is “central to his self-identity.” He’s played bas-ketball recreationally through-out his life and now helps coach his daughter Sasha’s team.

Griner, a rising senior, said she definitely wants to come back to the White House next year. With her and the other four starters returning, Obama’s betting on them again.

“I suspect that they’re the odds-on favorite for my bracket next year as well,” he said.

The Butler Did it in M’s Loss

This Week in Mariners Baseball

M’s Rough up RoyalsKANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —

Ryan Verdugo’s big league debut Tuesday night eerily resembled Jonathan Sanchez’s final start a day earlier for the Royals.

That’s not what Kansas City was hoping for.

Verdugo, a 25-year-old left-hander, gave up six runs on eight hits and two walks without making it through two innings of a 9-6 loss to the Se-attle Mariners.

ROYAL PAIN: Seattle Done in by Ninth Inning Home Run

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Billy Butler took the first pitch from Josh Kinney leading off the ninth inning to get a good look at it.

Two pitches later Butler hom-ered and the Kansas City Royals outlasted the Seattle Mariners 8-7 on Wednesday night.

Butler hit the 1-1 pitch from Kinney (0-1) out to left center for his 18th homer. Butler went 3-for-3 and walked twice.

“Billy is a special hitter,” Roy-als manager Ned Yost said. “He went up in that inning and said, ‘I’m going to take the first pitch and I know it’s going to be a slid-er and take a good look at it and gauge it.’ He sat on one and then drove it into the stands.

“Billy is not afraid to take a pitch or two to see what it is do-ing. He’s a special guy, knows ve-locities, knows exactly what ball is doing, if it cutting or sinking. He studies that stuff real reli-giously.”

Butler, the Royals’ lone rep-resentative in the All-Star game, raised his average to .300, while he tops the club in home runs and with 56 RBIs.

“I just got a good pitch to hit and didn’t miss it there at the end,” Butler said. “It was big to pick up the pitching staff. It’s obviously been a tough series for them, but they’ve picked us up throughout the season.”

Butler was not sure if the ball was going to clear the fence.

“Never at night here,” Butler said. “As the night goes on it gets tougher and tougher to hit one out of here. The air gets thicker. Earlier in the game I felt it would have gone a lot further. I knew I had at least a double, got on second base and had a pinch-runner.”

Kinney threw Butler a fast-ball, but in the wrong spot.

“It was the right pitch,” Kin-ney said. “I wanted to keep the ball away from that guy and

make him hit it to right field, but the ball just ran right back over the middle of the plate. He’s sup-posed to hit it. I just missed my spot. You just say, ‘Hey, good AB.’ He got me this time. I’ll get him tomorrow.”

Greg Holland (4-2) pitched a perfect ninth for the win.

Lorenzo Cain, who had a pinch-hit homer Tuesday, hom-ered in the fifth inning with Butler aboard. Cain, who also singled and scored in the Roy-als’ three-run second inning, is 10-for-20 in his six-game hitting streak.

Royals starter Bruce Chen, who had an 11.85 ERA while giving up 24 hits and 18 runs in

13 2-3 innings in his past three starts, gave up four runs and seven hits in 5 1-3 innings, walk-ing none and striking out six.

Chen gave up a solo home run to Kyle Seager in the second and a two-run shot to Casper Wells in the fourth. He has al-lowed nine home runs in 19 in-nings over his past four starts.

The Royals led 7-4 after five innings. Alex Gordon had a two-run double in the fourth, while Cain homered in the fifth.

The Kansas City bullpen, however, failed to hold the lead after Chen left. The Mariners scored three runs in the sev-enth off Jose Mijares and Aaron Crow. Jesus Montero hit a two-

run single and scored on Sea-ger’s two-out double.

“That would have been a tough one to drop,” Butler said.

“There’s no doubt, putting up seven runs and getting a nice lead and having the lead late in the game and them coming and fighting back. They brought their sticks this series.”

Mariners starter Kevin Mill-wood, who has not won since May 23, allowed seven runs and 10 hits in five innings.

Mike Moustakas doubled home Butler in the Royals’ three-run second. Brayan Pena’s groundout and Chris Getz’s bunt single drove in the other runs in the inning.

Notes: LHP Will Smith will be recalled and start Thurs-day for the Royals. He was 3-0 with a 1.30 ERA in his past four starts with Triple-A Omaha. The Mariners will start RHP Fe-lix Hernandez, who is 3-0 with a 1.40 ERA in his past six starts. ...The Mariners placed LHP Charlie Furbush on the DL with a strained left triceps and re-called RHP Steve Delabar from Triple-A Tacoma. ... The Royals optioned LHP Ryan Verdugo, who surrendered six runs, eight hits and two walks in 1 2-3 in-nings in his major league debut Monday, to Omaha. They pro-moted LHP Francisley Bueno from Omaha.

HOUSTON (AP) — Jer-emy Lin loves New York. He wanted to stay.

Even so, it was more im-portant to him to be on the court as a starting point guard, and he’s convinced the Hous-ton Rockets will put him there.

“They made a very compel-ling pitch in terms of what I could bring to the team and for the city,” Lin said in a state-ment released through the team Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the Knicks de-cided not to match Houston’s bold three-year, $25 million offer sheet. “I am also im-pressed with (Houston owner Leslie) Alexander and the management’s commitment to improving the team.”

The Rockets put out the statement not long after SI.com reported that Lin had acknowledged in an inter-view, “Honestly, I preferred New York. But my main goal in free agency was to go to a team that had plans for me and wanted me. I wanted to have fun playing basketball.”

Fun is what the 23-year-old undrafted guard was all about last season.

Coming out of nowhere — well, Harvard, by way of Gold-en State and then Houston

— Lin got to New York when the Knicks claimed him off waivers in December. He was briefly demoted to the devel-opmental league, recalled, and got his chance to play when coach Mike D’Antoni put him in with the Knicks flounder-ing at 8-15.

He scored 25 points in a 99-92 win over New Jersey Nets and “Linsanity” was born. Soon New York was in playoff contention and Lin was having drinks named af-ter him.

Lin said Wednesday that he “loved this past year with the Knicks and truly appreci-ate the opportunity that New York gave me,” even though the team decided to let him go.

“The way the fans fully em-braced me and our team was something I’ll always cherish forever,” he said. “It was an extraordinary and unforget-table time that was easily the best year of my life.”

And now it’s on to Hous-ton, which made its move and got its man.

Why did the Rockets go for him? Because it made bas-ketball sense and marketing sense.

The Rockets not only filled a position of need, but also snagged a player who may re-establish the franchise in Asia, where the team enjoyed mas-sive popularity during Yao Ming’s career.

Lin is American-born, but of Chinese and Taiwanese de-scent, and his timing is per-fect to capitalize on the NBA’s explosive growth in China. He’ll wear No. 7 for the Rock-ets, a change from the No. 17 he wore with the Knicks. The team began taking pre-or-ders for Lin jerseys online on Wednesday.

Yao was widely credited with breaking open the Chi-nese market for the NBA, but his retirement last summer hasn’t slowed the game’s growth or popularity.

Television ratings for live NBA games on CCTV5, the national network in China, were up 21 percent in 2011-12 from the previous season, the league said. The NBA had about 16 million followers on social media when Yao re-tired, and that number spiked to 49 million last season, the league said.

Marc Ganis, president of Chicago-based SportsCorp, says the Rockets will be able to build on Lin’s marketability.

“There is still a lot of inter-est in the Rockets in China, even without Yao,” Ganis said.

“This is clearly an effort to get a good player, but also capital-ize on the in-roads that the team has already made with

Chinese spon-sors and the fans there.”

Reaction among fans closer to home was muted, although Lin was the talk of sports ra-dio in Houston all day and exploded on social media. Since the acquisition be-came official late Tuesday night, the Rockets’ Twitter page has picked up 3,000 new followers and the Facebook page added 10,000 “likes.”

However, late Wednesday afternoon, the marquee at the Toyota Center men-tioned only season-ticket packages for the Rockets, along with an Aerosmith concert and a WWE Smackdown.

On the basketball front, general manager Daryl Morey still has work to do.

The next major priority for Houston is finding a big man. Dwight Howard is still available, but that may be long shot. The Rock-ets expect to sign Bulls center Omer Asik to a three-year, $25 million offer sheet that’s similar to Lin’s deal.

Beyond that, Morey must replenish a roster that’s been gutted over the past two weeks. The Rockets traded Chase Budinger and Samuel Dalembert as they collect-ed draft picks for a package aimed at enticing Orlando to send them Howard, a six-time All-Star.

Houston ended up keep-ing all three first-round draft picks, selecting Connecticut guard Jeremy Lamb, Iowa State forward Royce White and Kentucky forward Ter-rence Jones, who all remain unsigned.

The Rockets lost unre-stricted free agent Goran Dragic to Phoenix, began their pursuit of Lin and traded Kyle Lowry to Toronto. They with-drew their qualifying offer to guard Courtney Lee, com-pleted a sign-and-trade that sent center Marcus Camby to New York and used the amnesty clause to waive for-

ward Luis Scola.On Wednesday, the Rock-

ets waived forward Jon Leuer and center Jerome Jordan. Leuer came to Houston in the Dalembert trade with Mil-waukee, and Jordan was ac-quired in the Camby deal.

Houston has only won one playoff series since 1997 and missed the postseason entirely the last three seasons. Whether Lin becomes a cor-nerstone to a championship-contending team is anyone’s guess — he’s only started 25 games in his young career.

But just adding Lin has made the Rockets more in-triguing than they’ve been in a while. It’s up to Morey to turn them into a contender again.

INFLUENCE GAME:

Supporters and Detractors of Armstrong Take Sides on Captial Hill

WASHINGTON (AP) — When the Justice Department decided not to prosecute Lance Armstrong for taking perfor-mance-enhancing drugs, his le-gal problems seemed to be over.

Now the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has weighed in with its own investigation of the seven-time Tour de France cycling champion, and Armstrong’s supporters are turning to Capi-tol Hill for help.

On Tuesday, the office of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said she met in June with the Lance Armstrong Foundation’s CEO and its chief lobbyist to discuss domestic and international can-cer care as well as the possible

consequences to the foundation from the proceeding against Armstrong.

As a Texas-based nonprofit, the foundation has had a long-standing relationship with Hutchison, a Texas Republican who is a member of the Senate Cancer Caucus.

In addition to the meeting with Hutchison, a Washington lobbyist representing the foun-dation spoke last week with the staff of Rep. Jose Serrano about the USADA and its pending al-legations against Armstrong. The meeting was “substantially if not all about USADA and concerns about the process that Lance Armstrong is being put through,” said Serrano spokes-man Philip Schmidt.

Targeting Serrano for such a meeting hits the anti-doping agency in a sensitive spot. Ser-rano is the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations subcommittee on financial ser-vices and general government,

which oversees part of the agen-cy’s budget. The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy provides $9 million a year to USADA, nearly two-thirds of its budget.

USADA is not without its own supporters in Washington. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., says Congress authorized USADA to enforce anti-doping rules for athletes like Armstrong regard-less of their public profile.

USADA had given Arm-strong a deadline of last Sat-urday to either send the case against him to arbitration or ac-cept sanctions from agency.

Armstrong’s supporters have called the fairness of the arbitra-tion process into question. Mc-Cain says USADA’s arbitration process is the proper forum.

McCain’s comments came the day after Rep. James Sensen-brenner, R-Wis., questioned the fairness of the arbitration process in a letter to the White House Office of National Drug

Control Policy.“USADA asserts that Lance

Armstrong must either accept the sanctions it propose or con-test the charges to an arbitration panel subject to USADA’s rules where the burden of proof will rest on him,” Sensenbrenner wrote.

USADA responded immedi-ately.

“We will reach out to Con-gressman Sensenbrenner and offer to come in and discuss the process, which is the same in all cases whether it involves high profile athletes or those who are not,” said USADA CEO Travis T. Tygart.

If the arbitration process goes against Armstrong, US-ADA would probably ban him for life from cycling and other sports along with stripping the Tour titles Armstrong won from 1999-2005. USADA has granted Armstrong an extension of up to 30 days to contest the drug charges.

“People are concerned, we are very concerned and we have spoken publicly about the need for fairness and due process and we hope Lance is given the op-portunity for the due process any American deserves in this respect,” says Katherine McLane, the spokeswoman for the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

The foundation has hired one of Washington’s most ven-erable and powerful law and lobbying firms, Patton Boggs, to represent it.

“The foundation has worked with many firms in Washington over the course of the last de-cade to further the fight against cancer and we’re pleased to partner with Patton Boggs on the important domestic policy issues that will have such an impact on cancer survivors and their families,” said McLane.

USADA has long hired its own lobbyists in an effort to en-sure a steady stream of congres-sional appropriations.

of the sixth inning with a 2-run walk-off single by Hampson. Ryan Pedersen got the win, with Cooper Viggers and Kelly each contributing important innings. Jones and Dillon Smith each had three hits, and Daniel Fager-ness and Hampson each had two hits. Cy Bunker knocked a base hit that tied the game in the fourth inning, and Troy Yarter knocked a two-out, bases-clear-ing triple. The local squad topped Cascade (Vancouver) 6-3 on Wednesday to reach the semifi-nals. Chehalis trailed 2-0 until the fourth inning, when Smith drove a run with a one-out sin-gle. The All-Stars then erupted for 5 runs on four hits with two outs in the fifth inning, high-lighted by a game-tying RBI single from Jones and an RBI double from Bunker to put Che-halis' lead at 6-3.

Bunker, Jones, Smith and Hampson each had two hits, and Troy Yarter shut down Cascade for two innings on the mound to get the win.

If Chehalis should lose this morning, it will play play at 10:30 Saturday morning and, at worst, would finish third in the state.

"Being a small-school kid, just going anywhere would be nice," he said. "But staying local was a big thing, too." Gaul has played for the To-ledo-Winlock Warhawk combi-nation team under coach Brian Demarest for the past two years. Demarest saw him play as a freshman and knew Gaul was something special. "He throws fairly hard, but his heat really isn't what he lives off of," Demarest said. "He has really good control of his change up, and he has a true 12-to-6 curveball. It changes planes, and it makes him really difficult to hit off of." As a sophomore he went 4-1 on the mound with 43 strike-outs and a 1.61 ERA in 19 in-nings, and last season he went 7-2 with 89 strikeouts in 51 in-nings — and allowed a whop-ping 3 earned runs for a 0.41 ERA. He's also not a one-dimen-sional player, by any means. He hit .524 as a sophomore and .490 as a junior, posting an on-base percentage of over .720 last sea-son. Gaul's fastball tops out at about 88 mph, but that should change at Montlake. "I foresee him actually pick-ing up some velocity. They'll re-ally work his legs and get him in the best shape he's probably ever been in," Demarest joked.

"I think he'll pick up 4 or 5 mph pretty quick." Gaul will sign a National Letter of Intent in November. College coaches are prohibited from discussing recruits until that point. "I just wanted to know where I'm going, so I can get myself mentally prepared," he said of the early decision, "School-wise, and baseball-wise." Gaul and his Mudville team-mates will play in the Baden In-vitational Tournament, starting today and running through Sat-urday in Seattle. Mudville will face the Spokane BBC Blue at 10 a.m. Saturday on the University of Washington's Chaffey Field in a convenient debut for the fu-ture Husky.

He'll also play in the Ameri-cup tournament at Safeco Field on Aug. 24, in what he hopes will be another sign of things to come. "My mom always told me, when I was little, that I could play in the majors," he said. "I've always stuck with that goal, and I'm still working at it."

Pehl, Forgione Playing in Cape Cod League

Current University of Wash-ington sophomores-to-be and W.F. West graduates Robert Pehl and Erik Forgione are both play-ing summer ball in the Cape Cod League. Pehl is playing for the Yar-mouth-Dennis Red Sox and is

currently leading the East Divi-sion (second overall) with his .392 batting average. He's also leading the league with 28 RBI. In 27 games, Pehl is 40 for 102 with three homers and nine doubles. Forgione, playing for the Brewster Whitecaps, is hitting .273 through 19 games.

The Huskies went 30-25 last

season, with a 13-17 record in

Pac-12 action. Pehl started 50

games and hit .293, with 23 RBIs

(third on the team). Forgione,

who was drafted by the Los An-

geles Angels in the 31st round of

the 2011 draft, hit .173 and ap-

peared in 46 games.


Parker-Sexsmith, Tyler Pallas, Will Alexander and Drew For-gione each had two hits. Twin Cities put up 6 runs in the fourth inning, highlighted by a 3-run triple from Guerrero, and tacked on 7 more in the fifth on six hits, coupled with a pair of walks and a Kennewick error. Tysen Paul pitched a gem in Wednesday's regularly-sched-

uled game, holding Pasco to two hits in a five-inning, 10-0 win. He allowed an infield single in the first inning and a ground-ball single in the fourth, but both runners were thrown out attempting to steal. He walked two batters in the fifth inning to face a total of 17 hitters — two over the minimum — for the game, with three strikeouts. Guerrero, Parker-Sexsmith and Peters each had a single

for Twin Cities in Wednesday's complete game, and the All-Stars used five errors and seven walks from Pasco to help plate 10 runs. Twin Cities will play at 6 p.m. in the semifinals on Thurs-day and, with a win, play in the championship game at 10 a.m. on Friday for a spot in the Pa-cific Northwest Regional Babe Ruth Tournament in Meridian, Idaho.

FRIENDLY: Seattle Says Goodbye to Levesque, Plays in Front of 53,309 Fans

By Joshua Mayers

The Seattle Times

Buckets of goals.An emotional send-off for a

local favorite.The season’s biggest crowd at

CenturyLink Field.Sounders FC’s international

friendly Wednesday against Chelsea FC, the reigning club champion of Europe, had it all as the English visitors earned an entertaining 4-2 win in front of 53,309 fans.

The spectacle wasn’t lost on the one of the world’s premier teams.

“I know that the fans here in Seattle are crazy about soccer and they created a wonderful atmosphere,” said Chelsea man-ager Roberto Di Matteo.

The game action was equally enjoyable, at least in a six-goal first half, but for Seattle the most memorable moment came in the 65th minute. That was when veteran Roger Levesque, a Sounder since 2003, entered what would be his last game as a professional.

The 31-year-old announced last week that he would retire after Wednesday’s game.

Both teams combined for ex-citement worthy of the occasion.

Chelsea, playing its first game since winning the UEFA Champions League final in May, raced out to an early lead on goals by forward Romelu Lu-kaku, who muscled off defender Jeff Parke to finish a chance in

the third minute; and midfielder Eden Hazard, who scored off a deflection in the 11th minute.

The Sounders responded impressively through forward Fredy Montero, who took ad-vantage of a Chelsea giveaway and slotted home a cool finish in the 14th minute, then drove a long-range shot past goalkeeper Henrique Hilario in the 32nd minute.

Seattle kept the pressure on, and looked more likely to take a halftime lead than its supremely talented opponent, boasting a 10-9 shot advantage at the break.

Chelsea showed its class, however, and scored twice in a five-minute burst to retake the lead for good, starting with a goal on a deflected shot by mid-fielder Marko Marin in the 40th minute that was followed by a breakaway by Lukaku in the 44th minute after a Sounders turnover. The second half didn’t replicate the frenzied action of a head-spinning first as neither team scored amid wholesale substitutions.

Chelsea’s next stop in a four-game U.S. tour is Sunday in New York against French club Paris Saint-Germain at Yankee Stadi-um. The Blues also will play the MLS All-Stars (July 25) and AC Milan of Italy (July 28).

Seattle has a bye in the league schedule this weekend and plays its next game on the road at Col-orado on July 28.

“Obviously, we wanted to win the game, but at the end of the day we need to be focused on MLS,” Montero said, “and think and look forward to what we have to do better.”

Dwane Casey heard all the negatives about Terrence

Ross. Sorting through the yeas and nays of a player’s scouting report is part of a coach’s predraft job.

And when Ross, the for-mer Washington shooting guard, came to Toronto last month for his predraft work-out, Casey was as frank with him as a punch in the mouth, letting Ross know the dark side of the report.

“Everybody has told me that you have a tendency to fade in and fade out,” Casey, the Toronto Raptors’ coach, told him.

“They say I have to push you, stay be-hind you. But if you want to make it in the NBA, you have to play hard on every posses-sion. You have to work to get open on every possession. You have to work defensively on every posses-sion. Not just one, but every time. That’s how you make your mark in this league.”

Ross didn’t argue with Casey. In fact, he agreed.

“The big thing for me is that now that I’m in the NBA, I have to work hard all of the time,” Ross said after Mon-day’s Summer League loss to Dallas. “Keep working hard. That’s the only way I get out of (bad habits). I have to push myself to try to get through that.”

Ross created a buzz at the predraft combine. He impressed teams at his indi-vidual workouts.

He rose from a potentially late-first-round pick to be-come Toronto’s choice with the eighth pick.

“Now he’s come out here in the Summer League with a high motor,” Casey said this week. “That’s the thing we were looking at. I was told I had to stay on him, but I haven’t seen that yet. So far, so good. He’s been listening, and he’s been our hardest-working guy in the Summer League.”

Something good hap-pened to Ross in the second half of his second — and last — season at Washington. He became the team’s leader. He began to understand how hard he had to work. He real-ized he had to push himself more, demand more from his game. He grew up.

“My defensive effort has improved,” Ross said. “I’m just doing whatever it takes to win. That’s the biggest dif-ference for me. Part of it is just naturally maturing. It’s like everything just started to click in.

“And I think playing in the NBA is just going to help me motivate myself even more. I’m willing to challenge my-self, and I realize that’s what you have to do to be success-ful. They want me to have a scorer’s mentality, which to me means not worrying about the last shot. Always shooting with a clear mind.”

Casey began watching the 6-foot-7 Ross last fall, during the league’s lockout. He was a frequent guest at Washing-ton coach Lorenzo Romar’s practices.

“I called my staff back in Toronto and said, ‘Hey, this kid at the University of Washington can really play,’

“ Casey said. “ ‘We’ve got to keep an eye on him.’ “

Some of the scouts and coaches here say the Raptors might have gotten the steal of

the draft.“At his workout at our

place, he shot the ball really well, even off the dribble,” Casey said. “He defended, and that’s something I didn’t know he had, just that ability to guard his guy. I was really impressed with that.”

In three Summer League games, Ross has averaged 15.3 points and 31 minutes. He is shooting 38 percent. The Raptors have been run-ning much of their offense through Ross, setting mul-tiple screens for him to curl around, catch and shoot.

“He needs to learn how to get open in an efficient way,” Casey said. “Right now he’s just kind of running around like a chicken with his head cut off because the game is so fast and everything is hap-pening for him so fast. But once he gets the rhythm and the speed of the game, he’ll find a way to be more effi-cient with those screens.

“You have to grow up fast in this league now. You have to come in this game and be able to produce right away. That’s what we’re asking Ter-rence to do.”

Casey envisions Ross as a sixth man, a James Harden type who can come into the game with a scorer’s mental-ity.

“We need scoring,” Casey said. “We’re going to need that from Terrence when we begin our veteran train-ing camp. We need scoring punch off the bench in our halfcourt plays, running the floor, everything. We need all of that, so it’s important that he comes into our vet training camp with that same scoring mentality.”

After talking with Casey I told him I was going to inter-view Ross. “Tell him to get in the weight room,” the Raptors coach joked.

Ross is only 21, and like so many of the players in this al-ways-getting-younger league, he needs to get stronger, so he can take a hit, bounce off a screen and stay with his man. He’s going to be defending all of the strong physical two guards like Ray Allen and Wesley Matthews.

“I agree with coach Casey totally about the weight room,” Ross said. “I need to get stronger. I need to get in better shape. The weight room will get me so that I can really throw my own weight around.”

No more fading in, then fading out. Ross is committed to carrying his weight.

Saturday in the city of Emeryville, Of-

icer Peter van Eckhardt said.

COURT DATE: Marshawn Lynch Will Appear in Court on Aug. 14 After Charges Were Filed by Alameda County District Attorney

By Tim Booth


Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was charged Wednesday with driv-ing under the influence in Northern California.

Lynch was charged by the Alameda County district at-torney with driving under the influence of drugs and alco-hol and driving while having a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher. Lynch has a court date on Aug. 14, which is in the middle of Seahawks training camp.

But Lynch’s attorney, Ivan Golde, told The Associated Press that he feels the case could get thrown out or re-duced because of discrepan-cies in blood-alcohol tests.

Golde’s contention is that Lynch was not at the Califor-nia legal limit of .08 when he was pulled over in Emeryville, Calif., on Saturday and tested at the scene. Golde noted that Lynch’s level was higher when he was tested on a calibrated breathalyzer later at the jail.

“We think we have a really strong case,” Golde said.

Teresa Drenick, director of communications for the Al-ameda County district attor-ney, could not confirm Golde’s claim about Lynch’s blood-alcohol content and said she could not discuss the details of the case.

Lynch was seen weaving on Interstate 880 in the Oak-land, Calif., area on Saturday morning, leading to his arrest for investigation of DUI. An incident report released by the California Highway Patrol de-scribed Lynch driving a Ford Econoline van and having two near collisions with two other vehicles driving in adjacent lanes.

This is Lynch’s first off-field problem since coming over to Seattle from Buf-falo during the 2010 season. Lynch’s career stalled with the Bills and was highlighted by two off-field brushes with the law, one of which resulted in a three-game suspension.

He pleaded guilty in March 2009 to a misdemeanor gun charge in Los Angeles.

He was sentenced to 80 hours of community service and three years’ probation, and was suspended three games by the league for violat-ing the NFL personal conduct policy.

That was Lynch’s second run-in with the law with the Bills. He was also involved in

a hit-and-run accident in Buf-falo in May 2008. In the earlier incident, he pleaded guilty to a traffic violation and admitted to driving away after striking a woman with his car near Buf-falo’s downtown bar district.

The league is aware of Lynch’s latest legal trouble, but it’s unclear whether his past transgressions could get lumped together with his cur-rent DUI arrest and lead to yet another suspension.

Lynch signed a four-year contract in March that will keep him in a Seattle uniform for the prime of his NFL career. The contract is worth $31 mil-

lion, including a guaranteed $18 million. Lynch rushed for 1,204 yards and 12 touchdowns last season.

People watch a skirmish re-enactment during a Civil War Sesquicentennial event at the Veterans Museum in Chehalis last summer. The “Battle of Chehalis” this weekend will bring the Civil War to life with 500

historians taking to the ield of battle.

By Rick Bannan

For The Chronicle

A fierce battle involving artillery piec-es and hundreds of soldiers is scheduled for this weekend on the outskirts of Che-halis. One shouldn’t be alarmed, however, as this battle is more for the education and entertainment of spectators than any current military campaign.

The Veterans Memorial Museum is organizing a reenactment to commemo-rate one of the bloodiest days in the Unit-ed States’ history.

The re-enactment, “The Battle of Chehalis,” is part of ongoing events for the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, and more specifically for the Battle of Antietam on Sept. 17, 1862. The battle left both sides with 23,000 casualties at the end of the day.

While the chance for casualties this weekend will be hopefully zero, the Washington Civil War Association along with the Northwest Civil War Council (of Oregon) plan to provide spectators with a chance to see the history of the war, as well as the life of Americans dur-ing that era.

There will be four battles in total, at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Sunday. The battles will be held in a field on Tune Road, about a mile from the Veterans Memorial Museum.

Between battles, attendees can en-ter the camps to talk history with the re-enactors, who will be giving a “living history” performance discussing military life, history and equipment during the Civil War.

There will also be a civilian encamp-ment for those looking to experience more than just war. Period music, crafts

(including candle making and quilting), cooking, toys and a fashion show will fill the camp. An establishment known as a suttlery will also be present, which is historically run by a civilian near a war camp to sell provisions to the army.

Visitors will have the chance to buy all manner of items fashioned to the sensi-bilities of 1860s America.

The hosting for the battle was origi-nally the idea of W.F. West history teach-er Rob Sande two years ago, according to Chip Duncan of the Veterans Memorial Museum.

Sande approached the museum, which had contacts with the Washington Civil War Association, and it grew from there.

The battle originally was to be held in Port Gamble to the north, but the lo-cation was moved to Chehalis, where according to Duncan, it will become an annual event.

Lectures about the battle of Antietam are set for 10 a.m. each day. Sande will be giving one of the lectures, alongside Frank “Rusty” Starr, a former confeder-ate reenactor for the WCWA and current coordinator of the association.

Tickets for the event are $10 with $7 admission for those ages 60 and older, kids 6 to 18 and veterans.

Active duty military, fire and police can get in for free with the proper identi-fication, as can children under 6. Tickets also cover admission to the museum.

The events kick off with the lecture on Saturday at 10 a.m. and end on Saturday at 5 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m.

For more information, contact the Veterans Memorial Museum at 740-8875 or [email protected].

New Music Festival to Feature Tenino Native

The first Four Square Mile Music Festival will take place Friday, July 27, and Saturday, July 28, in conjunction with Tenino’s Oregon Trail Days cel-ebration.

The event in the Tenino City Park will be 6 p.m. to midnight both days. Headliner for both nights will be the Adam Craig Band (formerly TelluRide) from Nashville, Tenn. Both nights will feature local beers and wines for purchase and local food vendors Simply Or-ganic Cafe and Big T BBQ. The Adam Craig Band played at the Tenino Wine and Music Festival (Wino in Tenino) in 2009, mak-ing it the most successful in the event’s history, bringing more than 3,000 people into Tenino. The weekend’s event will begin Friday night with local beers and wine available for purchase.

Proceeds from the Four Square Mile Music Festival will go to the Tenino School District and Tenino Quarry Pool.

The Adam Craig Founda-tion is producing the show. It was created after Tenino native Adam Craig Seaunier moved to Nashville and found success in the music industry.

The 49th annual Schwing-fest was held at the Swiss Park in Frances over the weekend of July 6-8. Wonderful attendance and sunshine made for a fun and exciting event with Swiss wres-tling (Schwingen) and crown girls, a stone throw competition

(Steinstossen), yodeling, polkas and bratwurst.

The Blasers continued to entertain the crowd with their polka music throughout the Schwingen and dancin’. The current Swiss Miss, Ashley Brown, and one of this year’s candidates, Cali Kaech, served free ice cream to the kids.

The Swiss Folk group, Ka-

pelle Unspunnen, returned from Switzerland to entertain the crowd on Friday night with yodeling, singing, dancing and traditional music played on the alphorn, accordion, glass bottles, wooden spoons, washboards, ceramic bowls with coins and even brooms.

The audience was encour-aged to participate in the fun

and even children joined in.Next year marks the 50th

anniversary of the Schwing-fest for the Lewis-Pacific Swiss Society, so we hope to see you there.

More information about the Lewis-Pacific Swiss Society, its events, and its RV park and event hall rentals can be found at www.lpss.info.

Calender Format Change AppreciatedTo the editor:

Thank you for changing the Community Calendar to a much more usable and reliable format.

It’s great not having to worry whether or not your event will be listed. It’s even better knowing that after the initial “new” listing the notices will continue to ap-pear in smaller print right up to the date of the event.

I’m sure we’re not the only ones who appreciate it.

Life 4 � The Chronicle, Centralia/Chehalis, Wash., Thursday, July 19, 2012HISTORY

1909 — Small Boy and Butcher Knife Needed to Fight Lice in Hops

Local hop growers were combating hop lice. W.F. Slythe, employed by the Dobson, Bush and Herman Young yards, was spraying the hops then trim-ming up the bottom of the vines.

“A small boy and a butcher knife are effective fighters,” The Che-halis Bee-Nugget wrote.

“The first flight of the fly comes in May and settles on the lower arms before the up-per arms form. These flies de-posit the live lice on the leaves at the rate of about three a day and when these little crawlers are ten days old they begin to deposit young lice, which after ten days, attain maturity and help replenish the stock of ver-min. It would be interesting if someone of a mathematical turn of mind would figure out how many descendants a single hop fly should have to her credit at the end of two months.”

1932 — Cowlitz Mission Church Being Rebuilt After Fire

The church at the historic St. Francis Mission at Cowlitz Prai-rie was being rebuilt at the same site after the spring 1932 fire.

“The front wall of the old structure and a large part of the foundation will be used in the new building, which will be in similar appearance as the burned church, except bigger,” The Chronicle wrote.

1935 — Clear Forks Campgrounds Dedicated

The Clear Forks Camp-grounds in the Columbia Na-tional Forest in eastern Lewis County, on the White Pass Highway located seven miles east of Packwood, was dedicated with more than 2,000 people present.

“In a beautiful ceremony, pre-sided by N.B. Coffman, presi-dent of the Lewis County Gar-den club, the camp was officially claimed Lewiswis, an Indian name attributed to a beautiful Indian legend of the Cowlitz Tribe having reference to the wild roses that abound in the great area southeast of Rainier National park.”

1957 — Free Polio Shots Given in Mossyrock

Free polio shots were given at

the Mossyrock high school, af-ter similar sessions in Centralia, Chehalis, Pe Ell, Adna, Morton, Glenoma, Randle, Packwood and Mineral. The southern part of the county held its session a week later.

These shots were for county residents 40 years of age or un-der.

The sponsoring organiza-tions included the Lewis County Medical Association, the Lewis County chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly-sis, Lewis County Parent-Teach-ers Association and the Lewis County Health Department.

2002 — Casino Brings Wealth to Chehalis Indians

The Chehalis tribe members had benefited from the Lucky Eagle Casino as shown by their median income doubling — from $14,531 to $30,000 — in ten years, according to a study by The Evergreen State College.

The increase in casino prof-its had resulted in the expansion of programs, such as scholarship funds, social and health services and economic diversification.

2004 — Grange Fire Labeled Arson

The fire at Logan Hill Grange, a building which had been built in the mid-1930s, was labeled as arson.

“We were all disgusted,” said Grand Master Robert Knapp.

“Why would somebody want to do that?” The grange members felt lucky that the fire depart-ment was right next door.

Knapp, also a volunteer fire-man, had retrieved the Bible the grange used as well as a scrap-book from the building while the attic was burning and just before the roof caved in.

2006 — Drunken Shooters of Cattle Arrested

While bucking hay near Pe Ell, three young men were ar-rested for shooting cattle and partially butchering four of them the night before.

When asked where the re-mains of the butchered section of the cattle were, the trio could not remember, as they had been intoxicated while committing the crime.

ON THIS DAY IN LEWIS COUNTY HISTORY

What is the connection between Peterman Hill and Peterbilt trucks? Or is there a connection?

The answer is: a direct connection.

An article written by Jim Larsen in The Morton Journal in 1977 reads:

“He must have seemed like a white knight when he came to Morton in September 1934 to do a little logging. The Great Depression was taking its toll on the town of 750 people when suddenly a tall, rangy stranger named T.A. ‘Al’ Peterman rode into town in a Cadillac.

“Peterman needed logs for his plywood and lumber mills in Tacoma. Morton had some of the best timber around, especially at place then called Cottier’s Rock, but which has since been called Peterman Hill.

“It wasn’t long before the hill was alive with the sound of logging, a pleasant tune that led to the none-too-familiar jingle of money in Mortonites’ pockets.”

Peterman logged here until 1940, but not until he had developed what became Peterbilt trucks. He also left more than 100 employees with the memories of one of the nicest guys anyone could know.

Peterman built an eight-man shop in what is now Backstrom Park where many advances in building logging trucks were developed. He was helped by Ed Valentine who was as much an inventor as he was mechanic. Peterman used the Morton operation to try out different ideas.

One of the first ideas was to develop something better than the chain-drive trucks of the 1930s. Peterman first began modifying old logging trucks at his mill in Tacoma, then he built them from the ground up.

To avoid the constant problems with the existing trucks, Peterman invented the gear-driven truck with a drive line to the rear end. That alone was a major improvement, especially for the very steep roads on what is known now as Peterman Hill.

One of mechanic Valentine’s ideas was developing a brake drum cooled by specially designed “ribs”’ instead of water.

Eliminating the water made the brakes hold better and were safer.

Another major innovation that came from Peterman’s shop was the addition of rollers on the truck trailer to allow the logs to give a little when the truck rounded a corner. Sharp curves would no longer cause the load to be “bunk bound,” which could drag the whole truck off the road.

Later air brakes were added, a big improvement over hydraulic brakes, which got so hot they could burn out the wheel cylinders, which resulted in a runaway truck. The driver had the choice of riding it out or hitting the ditch.

It wasn’t long after Peterman completed his logging in Morton that he sold the truck he developed to a company in Portland. There the Peterbilt truck was manufactured until it went to a company in California.

Whenever you see a Peterbilt truck, take note that it originated in the little town of Morton.

ADVICE: Dear Abby

DEAR ABBY: What do you think about a grandmother getting into a Jacuzzi with her 6-year-old granddaughter? This has caused a big rift in our fam-ily. At a large recent fam-ily gathering, my daughter couldn’t accom-modate all of us sleeping at her home, so some of us rented rooms at a near-by motel. My son-in-law’s parents took my grand-daughter “Charise” to their room to spend the night. The bathroom had a Jacuzzi tub in it, and Grandma and Charise bathed in it together. When they told my daughter about it

the next day, she became upset because she thought it was inap-propriate for an adult to be in the tub with her young daughter. My daughter’s mother-in-law said she was not ashamed of her body and she refused to apologize to my daughter for what happened. My son-in-law has sided with his mother. What do you think? — SHOCKED IN CINCINNATI DEAR SHOCKED: I fail to see what the uproar was about, since the grandmother and grandchild are the same sex and we all come with the same stan-dard equipment. It’s not worth causing a rift in the family -- so tell your daughter to cool down and stop making waves. DEAR ABBY: I have a prob-lem with my husband, “Howard.” I moved two hours away from

my family, left my job and sold my house and car to be married to him. Now I feel trapped. We have been married three years. It wasn’t like this in the beginning. I’m a housewife who takes care of his mother who lives with us (another story). I can’t go anywhere. I’m at home all day, every day, except when his mother needs to go to the doctor. He refuses to get another car because he’s “afraid” I’m go-ing to meet someone else if I go out. I’m at my wits’ end. Howard doesn’t like my friends — the three that I do have. He has taken church away from me because he believes a husband and wife should go to church together, and he doesn’t, therefore neither should I. He’s verbally abusive and manipula-tive. I feel I can’t do anything right, and he proclaims to be

a perfectionist. Everything re-volves around him and his likes, needs and wants. This is a second marriage for both of us. He admits that he’s insecure. I love him, but I can’t take this anymore. I want to leave, but I don’t know how or where to begin. If I were to go home, I’d have nothing -- no home, no car, no job or money. We have no children to-gether. What is your advice?

— TRAPPED IN THE SOUTH-WEST DEAR TRAPPED: By now you must realize there is no way to assuage your husband’s inse-curity and need to control. No wonder this is his second mar-riage. I’m betting it won’t be his last, either. Look at it this way: He has a housekeeper, a built-in caregiver for his mother and someone whose every move he

can control. There are worse things than going home, starting from scratch and rebuilding your life. The first that comes to mind is continuing to live in a marriage like this one. So please, pick up the phone and ask your family to come and get you. And if you are afraid that he could become violent, call the National Do-mestic Violence Hotline. The toll-free number is 800-799-7233. They will help you formulate an escape plan.

Ministry of Gossip

By Melissa Ruggieri

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

ATLANTA — In the 1990s, somewhere between the novelty of MC Hammer and the genre-defining explosion of Nirvana, a slew of pop-rock bands and art-ists wound their way to the top of the charts.

Call it fate, call it coincidence or call your mom to ask her to dig out the Missy Elliott trash bag you wore as a Halloween costume in 1997, but the ‘90s are returning to Atlanta this week-end with tours fronted by Sugar Ray and Everclear and Bare-naked Ladies and Blues Trav-eler, with Richard Marx thrown in the middle with a dose of ’80s-’90s hybrid material.

Too bad it’s too hot for flan-nel.

Mark McGrath knows a ’90s package isn’t reinventing the touring industry. But he also knows that no one else has capi-talized on the potency of hits from dozens of acts from the era, so he and buddy Art Alexakis of Everclear figured, why not? He

hopes “Summerland,” the tour they planned — named after an Everclear song — becomes a sea-sonal institution.

“Every decade has their nos-talgia tour. The Turtles have their ’60s tour, Ringo (Starr) brings back the ’70s, Poison and REO Speedwagon represent the ’80s, but no one has galvanized the beautiful music of the ’90s,” McGrath said recently from his home in Studio City, Calif.

“There was such a hangover with the ’90s at the end of the millennium. The music indus-try imploded and they weren’t building any new rock stars. You’ve got about 50 million re-cords sold among (these acts). The value is there.” McGrath, the frontman for agreeable pop-rockers Sugar Ray (“Fly,”

“Someday,” “When It’s Over”), is a natural talker, a guy who fit perfectly as the host of “Don’t Forget the Lyrics” during its ten-ure and who drops pop culture references like the three-time

“Rock ‘n’ Roll Jeopardy “ champ that he is.

He’s also candid, admitting

he first reached out to ’90s com-rades Smash Mouth (too busy, they said) and Collective Soul (doing their own tour, which wrapped here last week).

Jesse Valenzuela, guitarist for the Gin Blossoms, another

“Summerland” hit factory (“Fol-low You Down,” “Hey Jealousy,”

“Found Out About You”), loves that the band is participating rather than doing its own tour as usual in the summer.

His only question is, why no women on the tour? “Shawn Colvin, Suzanne Vega, some-body? Professionally speaking, I’d like to have a nice girl band or singer with us. Bring on the chicks! I’d love to tour with Shawn Colvin,” Valenzuela said.

McGrath scoffs at any inti-mation that females were inten-tionally excluded.

“I think we just went to bands we knew we could work with best to get this up and running. There certainly wasn’t any con-versation of, let’s not get Alanis (Morissette). Believe me, there was no ban on females,” he said.

It will be enough of a chal-

lenge as it is for most of the acts on the roster to squeeze their hits into tight sets. The Gin Blos-soms will play for 35 minutes — a “heavy-duty tour,” Valenzuela said with a laugh — while Sugar Ray and Everclear will play in the 40-45 minute range.

McGrath is also hopeful there will be some cross-pollina-tion among the bands.

“Being the glory hog that I am, I can’t see myself not wanting to jump onstage in some capacity. We want to end the show with an all-star jam. There is defi-nitely that spirit and desire to surprise the audience. We want people to request cover songs online and we want to have fun, too,” McGrath said.

Valenzuela joked that LSD — Lead Singer Disease — would also afflict Gin Blossoms front-man Robin Wilson.

“He’ll be singing leads with the other acts whether they want him or not. I’m sure he’s already picked songs from each of their catalogs! I’ll be just as happy watching TV on the bus, but I’ll go out if they ask,” he said.

The tour has also served as an inspiration for Sugar Ray and the Gin Blossoms.

McGrath, a dad to 2-year-old twins, has started writing music that he isn’t sure will be for the band or his first solo project.

“We’ve always lived in a free world, that’s how we’ve stayed together for 24 years. The band is always open and no one will ever be fired,” he said.

Valenzuela said he hopes to see a handful of new Gin Blos-soms songs by next year. “I’d like to record a bunch and put them on our website. But I’m just one of five (band members) making that decision.” As for McGrath’s extracurricular activities, such as his TV co-hosting stint on

“Extra” a few years ago, he’s open to anything if he feels he’s capa-ble of doing it well.

“I’ve gotten more comfortable around the cameras,” he said.

“But you know, for every Marky Mark (Mark Wahlberg) in the acting world, that highway is lit-tered with a lot of Vanilla Ices.”
