Army Rechristens JBLM-Based Brigade

ghanistan and Iraq wars.
Stryker brigade. The 3rd Brigade, 2nd In-fantry Division was rechristened with the identity of a command the Army inactivated in South Korea a year ago, the 1st Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division.

In this case, the name of a unit with a deep history at JBLM and in Iraq will be re-

Thurston County is updating its capital facilities plan.
The plan describes the coun-
and maintaining its capital facili-ties for the next six years: 2016-21.
Counties and cities in Wash-ington are required to have six-year capital facilities, and are required to update their plans an-nually.
The plan describes capital projects necessary to support the county’s expected population
accomplish them.“Capital projects are the du-
rable, typically very expensive, facilities and equipment neces-sary to support County opera-tions and services to the public,” the plan states. “These gener-ally include but are not limited to such facilities as roads, bridges, sewers, parks, open space, water supply and conveyance systems, stormwater management systems, waste and wastewater disposal and treatment systems, and gov-ernment buildings.”
The plan is part of the coun-ty’s comprehensive plan, which is required by the state Growth Management Act.
The county’s comprehensive plan projects that by the year 2035, the Thurston County popu-lation will grow to 378,000, an increase of 120,000 — 46.5 per-cent — from the 2013 population of 258,000. Within the next six years, the population is expected to grow by almost 14 percent.
The Board of County Com-
missioners adopted impact fees in December 2012 to help pay for transportation, parks and some school districts. The updated cap-ital facilities plan indicates which transportation and parks projects will be funded by the fees.
The plan notes that it is a plan-ning document and not a budget for expenditures, or guarantee projects will be implemented.
“It assumes receipt of outside grant resources, and if grants are not received, projects may be delayed or removed,” it states. “Each capital project listed in the … (plan) will need to go through a separate environmental review and approval process.”
One area the plan’s supple-ment touches on is the need for updating the current county courthouse complex.
“The County moved into its current Courthouse in 1978,” the supplement states. “Although sev-eral portions of the current space are overcrowded, reductions in staff and service levels in the Great Recession prompted orga-nization and space consolidations and eased some immediate needs for additional space. However, the resulting space layouts are not al-
Accessibility and security issues have arisen that weren’t taken into account in the original
design, the supplement continues.The county also has had trou-
ble maintaining and operating the aging facilities; the buildings that make up the courthouse complex, nearly 40 years old, are “reach-ing the end of their useful life and will require major maintenance and rehabilitation to continue as
and secure facilities,” the docu-ment states.
On the upside, the document notes that the county has reduced its reliance on leased space, re-
-ciency.
The county is in the process of
of renovating versus replacing the existing courthouse complex, and has developed maintenance plans for county buildings that iden-tify major maintenance projects and the reserve money necessary to fund the work for the next 30 years, the document states.
The county has succeeded in constructing or remodeling build-ings, such as the construction of its new jail, the Accountability and Restitution Center; remodel-ing an adjacent corrections facil-ity; and building new Emergency Coordinator Center and Public Works facilities.

Community Center to Open in October
BY STEVEN WYBLE
The new community center at Yelm City Park will be open soon — it’s just taking slightly longer than expected.
The community center, ini-tially slated for an early Septem-ber opening, is now expected to open in October, Yelm Mayor Ron Harding said.
The tentative date is Oct. 24, although that could change slight-ly, he said. The delay isn’t unusual,
-tuate as details of the project get changed during the construction process.
The members of the city coun-cil toured the construction site last Wednesday, and Harding said it al-lowed them to see the size of the
to see from the outside.Currently, the city council and
the park advisory board are work-ing on writing policies for renting the center out, Harding said, so it was also good for them to see the space to help them visualize it dur-ing that process.
Though the building should be completed by October, the city is hoping to have a soft opening in November, allowing enough time to ensure everything is function-ing, Harding said. Exact plans are
not set, but may include public tours of the building and a ribbon-cutting ceremony, he said.
event in the park featuring a fully-functional community center will be Christmas in the Park. The city will probably open the building up to rentals after that event, Harding said.
One of the things he heard early in his career from Yelm resi-dents was the need for a commu-
need not only in Yelm, but in the whole southern part of the county, and it’s a good feeling to have that need so close to being met, he said.
“It’s a valuable asset for the
community; not just as a gathering place, but a place to draw people into the community,” he said.
The city twice put a bond to voters in 2013 seeking $5.7 mil-lion to overhaul Yelm City Park. After those measures failed, the city council voted to move ahead with construction of a community center using funds the city had al-ready secured.
To save costs, the city had the community center redesigned to stay under 5,000 square feet. But the look and feel of the facility is similar to the original design,
Harding said. The community center is one
of several projects the city has been able to check off its list as completed, Harding said.
“We continue to do that. We continue to have those successes with a minimum impact to the community,” he said.
The new community center will include a 3,300-square-foot multipurpose space to accommo-date events with up to 250 people, a commercial kitchen, 23 parking stalls and exterior restrooms to serve park users.

The Yelm City Council ac-cepted a $485,000 grant from the state Department of Com-merce for the city’s new com-munity center at Yelm City Park.
The city requested $1.5 million for the project last year, but received only $1 million, leaving a $500,000 shortfall. The city received this almost $500,000 in the state’s 2015-17 capital budget.
The city will receive $485,000, as the Department of Commerce retains 3 percent — $15,000 — to cover its direct administrative costs, accord-ing to a staff report from Noah
-rector.
In October 2014, the Yelm City Council unanimously ap-proved a $1.87 million contract with Stetz Construction to con-struct the community center.
The city twice put a bond to voters in 2013 seeking $5.7 million to overhaul Yelm City Park. After those measures failed, the city council voted to move ahead with construction of a community center using funds the city had already se-cured.
The new community center will be 4,950 square feet, and is located at 301 Second St. SE. It will include a 3,300-square-foot multipurpose space to accommodate events with up to 250 people, a commercial kitchen, 23 parking stalls and exterior restrooms to serve park users.

It is the peak of the grow-ing season and farmers now have more to offer than at any other time of the market season. The Yelm Farmers Market at Nisqually Springs Farm in Yelm features a number of local farms with a variety of crops. Two local farmers in particular, with very different approaches to organic farming, have found great success at the market, which is the only place their goods are sold directly to the public.
Both operated by women, Mari’s Farm and Brenda’s Farm
Mari’s, run by Mari Mankamyer and husband Tim Mann, is in the Bald Hills and she prefers to call it an “oversized garden,” while Brenda Campbell’s farm is on Vancil Road, inside Yelm’s city limits. There was a time when Campbell’s stand was open to the public, but as a one-woman opera-tion, the logistics of running the stand and doing the actual farm-

techniques to get the most from their space and is currently work-ing on some vertical planters in which they grow basil without the use of soil. In addition to growing actual food, the couple continues to relocate the overabundant pop-ulation of rocks on their property to claim more territory for grow-ing space. They built a soil screen-ing operation that can handle
large loads of dirt. The rock pile is growing taller, the growing space is growing wider, and Mankamy-er is looking forward to planting more crops. Mann is pondering how to put the rocks to good use.
While he is the engineer and inventor of the family, Mankamy-er is all about the garden and said she would rather just pull weeds and spend time with the plants than do pretty much anything else.
When people ask why her veg-etables seem better than others, she said she always tells them it’s because of her love for gardening. The couple doesn’t grow every-thing they eat. Since they special-ize in what pays the most for their time, they buy vegetables they don’t grow from other farmers.
At the farmers market, regular customer Neil Kaber said Mari’s greens are a good value because they last a long time in the re-frigerator. The secret to that, said Mankamyer, is getting them very dry after they’ve been washed. She uses a large spinner to remove
up her greens.Campbell’s farm yields pota-
toes, cucumbers, squash, cabbag-es and other standard vegetables, but the property is undergoing a transition. She’s shifting her fo-cus to specialty berries and fruits because there isn’t anyone else focusing on that market. Her farm took a beating during the last storm, so she’s cleaning it up and planning her new strategy, while her berry plants mature in nursery beds.

Campbell is adjusting and her stall is different and she’ll do ber-ries and bring what no one else has got, but that’s the life of farm-ers, Rae added.
All the farmers at market bring what is fresh, delicious, and beautiful and it’s wonderful when someone wants to bring some-thing different.
Rae advises now is the best time to get veggies and the “fab-ulous fruit” while the market is abundantly full of choices, which includes some holiday shopping.
Why search for great things made by local artists around
anything, Rae asked.“We have some really great
crafters at the market.”

The Yelm Business Associa-tion is rescheduling the art show planned for this weekend. Be-cause of the city’s initial determi-nation that each artist participat-ing in the art show be required to have a business license, many art-ists declined to participate.
The business license require-ment for each of the artists was a major impediment to recruit-ment according to YBA spokes-person, Steve Craig. By the time
business license determined to be a requirement for the event sponsor only, weeks had passed. This, combined with the increas-ing likelihoods of fall rains, led to the prudent decision to cancel and reschedule for a winter indoor art show.

The proposal comes after the court ruled public funding for charter schools is unconsti-tutional.
“Under the proposed mea-sure, a justice would be required to step down from hearing a case if his or her campaign received a donation of $1,000 or more within the past six years from any person or entity that is part of the case,” according to The Associated Press.
Several of the justices had received large donations from the teachers union, which is staunchly opposed to state funding for private institutions.
The proposal might turn out to be more of a political state-ment than a legitimate pursuit of change, but even if that’s the case, it’s worth considering the loyalties of the current court.
The justices stretched back to the early history of the state to find wording that would jive with their findings against the
voter-approved charter school initiative. Even traditionally liberal editorial boards have questioned the decision.
Citizens shouldn’t have to question whether the court’s determinations are motivated by political donors.
Manweller’s proposal would eliminate that idea from the discussion.
The court has taken a strong-arm approach to public education already, electing to fine state government $100,000 per day until lawmakers find an agreeable and effective solu-tion to meeting the terms of the landmark McCleary decision.
The debate over charter schools is mostly separate, but taken together the matter brings political donations for judges into focus.
At a local level, municipal and superior court judges often recuse themselves from cases in which they are familiar with individuals involved.
Supreme Court justices shouldn’t be held to a lower standard when it comes to iden-tifying who is putting money in their campaign coffers. If the initiative is indeed filed, then
the people of Washington will decide whether to approve it.
Will the court then rule that initiative unconstitutional?
State Rep. Richard DeBolt, R-Chehalis, filed legislation last
year calling for state Supreme Court justices to be identified by political party. That proposal was deemed largely symbolic, and failed to gain traction in the Legislature.
Perhaps it’s time to approach the concept once more.
While partisan judges pose a number of issues, continuing to pretend they have no affiliations is proving challenging.

Another inaccurate statement at the forum has been circulating around the city for about a year. It has to do with the Ice Chips grannies expanding and moving their operations out of town because the city wouldn’t allow them to grow here in Yelm.
The truth is Ice Chips was never located inside city limits, but in the county. They did ask if there was any space available already built in the area, was told there were no existing structures they were seeking, and that was the extent of their dealings with the city. The fact is they needed a warehouse right away, and none existed in Yelm. This had nothing to
do with city services or an anti-business climate in the city administration.

Tesla is the pre-mium entry in the electric car market, with a starting price of $75,000. Accord-ing to the Wall Street Journal, the high-end “Signature” model costs $132,000, slight-ly more than the base price for Porsche’s
AG’s 911 GT3.Even with a $7,500 federal tax credit,

However, Tesla’s luxury styling and impressive performance give high-end buyers the best of both worlds — luxury transportation and the satisfaction of environmental stewardship.
In that light, it might surprise some that Tesla’s success depends in large part on lithium mining.

sparking huge investments in the technol-ogy.
Tesla is building a $5 billion battery factory near the lithium mines in northern
Nevada in hopes of reducing battery costs by at least 30 percent as it plans to ramp up production to 55,000 cars this year.
Reducing costs is important to Tesla, because its competitors are intent on pro-ducing more affordable electric cars.
BMW has introduced a new two-seat electric commuter car in the $15,000 range. That prompted BMW and partner SGL to invest more than $200 million in
Moses Lake where low cost hydro power is abundant.
Hybrid car sales are growing. In 2010, roughly 275,000 of the 11.6 million autos sold in the United States were hybrids, according to the Electric Drive Trans-portation Association. Pure electric cars registered just 19 sales. Fast forward to 2013, when plug-in vehicles sales were nearly 97,000.

However, hydropower is not as abundant in drought years. Just ask California.

Then there is the matter of where the electricity comes from that recharges electric cars at home and in parking lots. Right now fossil fuel power plants or hydropower dominate the electric power grids in the west.
The point is it is important that new technologies be developed. It also is important to remember that electric car makers are subject to the same economic and environmental challenges as other manufacturers: production costs, avail-ability of supplies, affordable energy and abundant water.

ruling in the McCleary case, the state Legislature lowered the class size required to receive state funding in kindergarten through third grade. In non-high poverty schools, they are 22 for kindergar-
-ond grade and 25 for third grade. In high poverty schools, they are
for fourth grade. The requirements remained the same last school year to this school year for fourth through 12th grade with 27 for fourth through sixth grade, 28.53 for seventh and eighth grade, and
“We continue to grow,” Wolf said. “It’s not anything outside that prediction that we saw last year when we were talking about the bond. It’s coming true.”
some Southworth students to Mill Pond has been maximized as Mill Pond is full this year. Because all elementary schools are tight for space, having already lost technol-ogy rooms and some libraries as they are turned into classrooms, redistricting will not help to alle-viate the issue. Wolf said the dis-trict is looking to add three more double classroom portables to the more than 70 it already has — one each at Southworth, Mill Pond and Fort Stevens. However, due to changes to the permitting process, environmental issues, the amount
of space remaining on campuses and water and sewer connections, this process is now more compli-cated and takes longer.
“It’s tricky to put portables in anymore,” Wolf said.
Also, more classroom space means more students, who add stress to the original school.
“The infrastructure of the building — lunchrooms, libraries, bathrooms, playgrounds, parking — they’re not designed for that,” Wolf said. “We can put portables out there, but it doesn’t help us as far as relieving the crowding of the buildings.”
The district is also continuing to look into another bond propos-al.
“What is the tipping point?” Wolf asked. “When you have a
school, for example like South--
dents and you’re pushing 600, at what point in time does the actual infrastructure of the building have to change to be able to handle the capacity?”
As a public education system, YCS cannot turn away students.
“We can tell a student that they can’t go to school X if it’s full, that they have to go to school Y, but what if X, Y and Z were all full?” Wolf asked. “I don’t know how that works.”
What the district has done is limit the number of students liv-ing outside of the district who re-quest to be educated in Yelm.
“We’ve managed the growth really well, I think, but we’re at a point now where our strategies
are becoming more limited,” Wolf said.
Another factor that is adding
Yelm, along with the rest of the state, is experiencing a teacher shortage and still has a few open positions even with the school year underway. Teachers have to be

million in local and tribal grants, the Nisqually Land Trust plans to conserve important shoreline property forever. This project proposes to acquire property that connects two substantial blocks of Mashel River shoreline already protected, creating nearly six miles of protected river corridor.”
With this grant, the Nisqually Land Trust proposes to buy more than 1,000 acres, including 3.1 miles of the Mashel River, 6.2
of shoreline, and 128 acres of the surrounding forest near Eaton-ville.
The Mashel River is the largest tributary to the Nisqually River, and the salmon recovery plan for the area calls out these sections of the Mashel River as the highest priority for protection. The river is used by Chinook salmon and steelhead trout, both of which are listed as threatened with extinc-tion under the federal Endangered Species Act.
The land has steep, unstable slopes and is part of a larger in-
dustrial forest. Buying the land would prevent further habitat degradation from logging and de-velopment and would buffer pro-tected habitat for northern spotted owls and marbled murrelets, both of which also are listed as threat-ened under the Endangered Spe-cies Act.
The purchase would help rec-reation by providing room for ex-pansion of the Mashel Greenbelt Trail and by protecting a key sec-tion of the popular Mount Tahoma Trails cross-country ski trail.
The Legislature created the Washington Wildlife and Recre-
ation Program in 1990 to conserve land before it was developed, and provide more places for outdoor recreation.
The Legislature recognized that the state’s growing population would need more places for out-door recreation and wildlife, and it would be more economical to buy the land early. Today, the program is the largest state funding source for development of local parks and trails and the conservation of working farms and ranches.
The competition for grant funding is high, with projects rated by citizens and profession-
als on many factors, according to the press release, such as threats to the habitat, project support, public access opportunities and ongoing stewardship of the land.
“Only the best of the best projects get funded,” Cottingham said. “The Nisqually Land Trust has consistently brought forth out-standing projects. The land trust has been awarded 30 grants since 1997, totaling nearly $8 million, all for salmon recovery work.”
Cottingham presented the award Sunday to the land trust at its annual volunteer recognition meeting in Olympia.

the 10 years she lived in Yelm and Rainier, Wortberg is al-ready familiar with many of the area businesses. She also knows YACC Board President April Sage through WCWB.
Her goals as the chamber’s executive director are to help all local businesses thrive, to pro-mote the area as a place to shop, to create a sense of pride around what Thurston County can offer and to work with the board and the community to create a strate-gic plan. In order to accomplish that, Wortberg brings with her connections to EDC as well as contacts with lenders and angel
investors.-
ing with a chamber of commerce.
multiple states including Virgin-ia, Florida and Missouri.
“I believe the chamber of commerce can be a vital link in a community,” she said.
She took the position in Yelm because she saw an opportuni-ty to be of service and loves to work with communities “to cre-ate magic.” With one of her com-panies, which was a community
travel the country helping com-munities revitalize.
“I loved that work and spent a lot of time in volunteering, in working with communities,”
Wortberg said.The key to a successful ex-
ecutive director is to promote the area, be a “cheerleader for the community,” to understand the dreams and goals of business owners and to help them achieve their desired outcomes.
“You have to respect where the business owner is and pro-vide the services that they need and want, not what you think they should do,” Wortberg said. “Owning a business is like hav-ing a baby, going to college and getting married all at the same time. It becomes a relationship that is constantly demanding something new of you. And my job is not to tell them what to do, but to provide the resources
they’re going to do with this in-credibly demanding child that never shuts up and how to even survive the challenges of being a small business owner in an econ-omy that is just starting to pick back up.”
She credits working with and learning from EDC Executive Director Michael Cade to leave her ego at the door and to col-laborate.
THE CONNECTION people who live in the Yelm area have to their town is a strength Wort-berg sees, as well as the diversity among the area’s businesses.
“I think this whole commu-nity is very solid; it’s basically a very healthy community ... and you’ve got a lot of success-ful businesses who have been here for a long time,” she said. “There’s something charming about coming to shop in a small
town. You get personality and uniqueness.”
One of the challenges Wort-berg plans on tackling is creating a shared, comprehensive vision for the business community. To do this, she wants to speak with every business owner and invites any of them to contact her or stop
“I want to hear from business owners what they’re facing ... so that I can learn what are the chal-lenges for their individual busi-ness, what are the challenges for the industry that they’re in and what are the challenges for the community in general,” Wort-berg said.
To that end, she wants to have
hours per week, but is still decid-ing what hours would be the most friendly to small businesses and is looking for input. Anyone who wants to share their thoughts can contact Wortberg or chime in on the chamber’s Facebook page.
Other challenges she sees are businesses being able to access the capital they need and to make Yelm a place people come to shop. Though Wortberg does not have a particular plan as to how to achieve the latter, she knows communities across the country have already found solutions and will look at those examples.
WHEN IT comes to the is-sue of how city government han-dles its small businesses, this is a topic Wortberg has dealt with on every chamber board she has been on.
“I’ve never been in a com-munity where that wasn’t a topic of conversation,” she said. “It’s
almost to be expected. In every community, there is a need for the business community and gov-ernment to continually improve their relationship. It’s not unique to here. That being said, I think, from what I’ve heard, everybody wants the same thing, which is a thriving community, which is
-uring out how to get there. I see tremendous potential for small businesses and the city to have a fantastic relationship. I hope that the chamber will play a role in that by being supportive in that process.”
Members of the Yelm Busi-ness Association have reached out to Wortberg and she is look-ing forward to meeting with them. Her job is not to take sides, but
organizations agree and work to-gether in the same direction.
“From what I understand, we have the same goal, which is
-nesses and existing businesses to grow or to accomplish their dreams,” she said. “In that sense, we are completely in sync.”
Wortberg is the second ex-ecutive director the YACC has hired since long-time executive director Cecelia Jenkins retired from the position in December
announced in a press release that Casey Cochrane, who preceded Wortberg, was no longer with the organization.

It did not take long for third graders at Rainier Elementary School to crack open and begin exploring their brand new dic-tionaries this week, thanks to the Rainier Lions Club.
Rainier Lions member Linda Lazelle was in charge of orga-nizing the dictionary donation project, which the club has been doing for 10 to 15 years, she esti-mated. This year, the number of Rainier students receiving dic-tionaries was 66. The club also donates to Eagle View Christian School and to The Phoenix Ris-ing School.
“This is a project that many organization do,” Lazelle said. “The Lions have been doing it for years ... because the kids just light up and they have this very own book with all these words.”
As she pre-dicted, the Rainier students i m m e d i a t e l y started flip-ping through their dictionar-ies on Monday as they were being handed out, pointing out pages they found interest-ing to those sitting next to them. Lazelle said the third grade is an ideal year for the do-nation because it is when children begin to build their vocabular-ies.
“Instead of learning to read, they’re reading to learn,” she said. “It’s just a prime time that they’d really be interested, when they’re kind of switching into high gear
in their com-prehension and reading.”
With Raini-er into its third week of school, giving the dic-tionaries now allows the stu-dents to have them for the entire school year. Teach-ers, who get their own copy as well, are as enthused as the kids, Lazelle said, to have these books as a teaching tool.
“Even though we’re in this world of technology, they re-ally like this very own book that they can have and learn from,” she said.
In addition to containing the definitions of a plethora
of words, the dictionaries also contain other information like world maps, facts about the United States and how to make each letter of the alphabet in sign language. The Rainier Li-ons also include a letter to par-ents encouraging them to look into the club, what it does for the community and potentially join.
This is Lazelle’s sixth year organizing the project, which is funded through the Rainier Li-ons and the club’s fundraisers. She enjoys getting to see the ex-citement of the students.
“Just the response of the kids is really worth it,” she said. “They just seem really happy and are just in a learning mode.”

It is harvest time in the vegetable garden, so keep picking ripe tomatoes, cucumbers and summer squash. Share fresh produce with your local food bank if you’re lucky
enough to have a bumper crop. The hot summer weather was great for growing tomatoes, basil, peppers and corn, but berries and leafy crops suffered in the heat.
Cut back the canes of raspberries that are turning brown as these bore berries this summer. Tie the new green raspberry sprouts to horizontal sup-ports as these will bear fruit next summer. Spread a mulch of wood chips, manure, compost or bark chips on top of the soil to keep the weeds out and the moisture in.
Q: Why does the end of my tomatoes turn black and start to rot? I have grown them in the same sunny spot for several years and never had this problem. P., Enumclaw
A: Sounds like blossom
end rot, a tomato disease that strikes when the soil is lacking in calcium or when watering is inconsistent. Growing toma-toes in the same spot will suck the calcium right out of the soil, so be sure to amend your soil this fall with lime or another form of calcium. Blame the hot weather f o r many cases of blossom
end rot this summer as the sun dried the
soil quickly in early summer before many
gardeners had established the habit of daily watering.
Tomatoes like soil that is con-sistently moist or they will adapt
to somewhat dry soil, but do not like dry soil followed by lots of water.
Next year, use mulch on top of the soil to seal in moisture and prevent inconsistent watering.
Q: How do I know when my patty pan squash are ripe? B., email
A: The unusual shaped patty pan squash is ripe when the color is light
or less in diameter. Harvest all summer squash such as zucchini before we are hit with a hard frost.
Q: When should you har-vest corn for the sweetest
RentonA: Give
-nail test. Peel back the husk with the corn still on the stalk. Pierce a kernel with a thumbnail. If the liquid is clear, give the corn more time. If it is thick and creamy it is overripe. When the kernel leaks liquid that is the color and consistently of milk
when picked in the late afternoon and used within one hour of picking. Keep ears cool if you cannot cook them the same day as the harvest. A patch of corn can be harvested at the peak of ripeness for one to two weeks depending on the weather and the variety.
Q: How do I know when my purple eggplants are ripe? This
-ing this beautiful plant. T.P., Kent
A: Eggplant loved our unusually hot summer. A bigger eggplant is not a better egg-plant, however, so harvest when the
peak of ripeness is when the skin is shiny and deep purple. The eggplant is overripe if the skin looks dull and the seeds are brown.
Q: How can I make the green tomatoes turn red before winter? T., Email
A: You can uproot an entire tomato plant and hang it upside
down by the roots in a garage or shed, and as long as the tomatoes stay dry they will continue to ripen. You can
also collect the green tomatoes
that are ripen enough to have a darker green
star-shaped area on the blossom end of the fruit. Store these indoors with good air circulation in a dry spot. Green tomatoes do not need sunlight to turn red as long as they have the green star stage. If you protect your tomato plants from the rain and cold with plastic covers or by growing them under the eaves of the house they will continue to ripen rather than rot on the vine.

Frank Bower was an impos-ing force on education in Yelm during the 1940s. Bower worked in edu-cation for nearly four decades.
His career spanned a remarkable era in American history.
He began teaching during the Great Depression in the 1930s and by the time World War II began he was the principal of Yelm High School. Bower left Yelm as the Korean War was ending in 1953 and continued his career in the North Thurston district.
In 1938, Bower, 28, took a teaching position at Yelm High School. Bower, with his wife Jeane, moved to Yelm, living a block from the school. They would live and work in Yelm for the next 15 years.
Once in Yelm he completed coursework for the new adminis-trative credential that was increas-ingly expected of principals. Six decades after she accompanied her husband to Yelm, Jeane Bower recalled with pride that her hus-
-tion.
Education in a Different Time
Bower arrived in Yelm in 1938 and two years later took charge of the high school as principal. Dur-ing that decade and a half at Yelm he seemed to do it all. Bower taught the physics and chemistry curriculum. He was the math department for a number of years. In a pinch, he taught P.E. and even ran a photography class in 1950. In addition to these responsibili-ties, Bower coached basketball, baseball and football at one time or another. Naturally, he was the head of the Lettermen’s Club, but found time to be senior class advi-sor on occasion.
These, however, were only his contracted roles. According to his son he also mowed the lawn of the
game days you might have found
Edgar Prescott remembered pour-ing cement for a school sidewalk with Bower. When custodial help was busy, Bower put his carpentry skills to work. A small picture of Bower in the 1945 annual captured the era. Amid the photos of student shenanigans was one of Bower. He stood on the school grounds, leaning on a shovel.
The 1945 high school was a much smaller world than the one that exists at YHS today. For instance, 331 YHS students re-ceived diplomas in 2015. Seventy years earlier, according to the 1945 annual, the freshman class numbered 40 students. When the teaching staff stood on the steps on the recently built brick high school they numbered seven. This included Bower, principal and teacher. O.L. Montgomery, the su-perintendent, joined the teachers to bring the count to eight. It was
a small fraternity of educators on the prairie at that time. Teach-ers lived where they worked. The road to Olympia wasn’t even paved yet. Besides, the school board required teachers to live in the district. They became a tight-knit group. Not only did they work together, but socialized outside of the classroom. Jeane Bower recalled that the Faculty Wives Club she belonged to often discussed books at one of their get-togethers.
Students liked him. He was, according to one, “a friend, a reg-

the high school principal. There weren’t a lot of days left until school would start. Frank was a big fellow for that time, about 6 feet 2 — anymore it seems that half the kids in high school are 6 feet 2, even the girls — and he weighed close to 200 pounds, all of it brawn, but he had a gentle voice and eyes that I described to Alice as being understanding. They were the kind of eyes you wouldn’t be bashful looking into if you were hurting or needing help or advice; but it sure wouldn’t be easy to look into them if you

Working With BowerPrescott provides an interest-
ing snapshot of what it was like to work with Bower. Prescott wrote:
“But things were different
back then. There was a war going on. There were only six teach-ers and a couple of hundred kids to teach. All of us had a lot of classes, and if any of us needed help or inspiration or an example, we had Frank Bower to look to.
“It was Frank who got me started off right in that general science class. He taught me how to set up those experiments, and how to prepare slides for the microscope. He lent me his rock collection and his biological displays. Frank was not only the principal — he had no secretary — he was also coach, football, basketball and baseball, and he taught all the math classes, and the science classes — chemistry and physics — with the exception of the general science class I was teaching.
“And that wasn’t all! I was never more surprised in my life than on that Saturday morning when he roused me out of bed and asked if I would like to help get

The BudgetThe minutes of school board
meetings during the 1940s pro-vide an insight into the workings of schools and the issues before them. The following are excerpts from those minutes.
Budget issues were in many ways no different in the 1940s than today. Salary, energy ex-penses, transportation costs, and purchasing supplies are still with us. The district was conscientious about spending as much money in
-cally possible. The budget for the 1949-50 school year of $165,170 ($1.6 million in 2015 dollars) was presented, discussed, and voted on.

Cheryl Slopak cried, just like she has for the last three years¸ when she and husband Jim hand-ed a check over to Maj. Andy Walls, Executive Officer of the Servicemember and Family As-sistance Center at Joint Base Lewis-McChord Monday morn-ing. They were tears of gratitude and sentiment for the service members who are wounded and preparing to return to active duty or transition out of military service.
They, along with the Yelm Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5580 and the Yelm United Methodist Church, presented combined funds raised through car shows and silent auctions in August and September for the Warrior Transition Battalion, or WTB.
An eleventh-hour check for $110 brought the overall total to $10,000. Jim Bob’s Chuck-wagon BBQ in McKenna sup-plied $6,600. VFW Post 5580 Commander Terry Ray did the honors of handing over $3,400 earned by the VFW and Meth-
odist church from the proceeds of their recent car show in Yelm City Park.
“The money totally stays at JBLM for the people here who need it,” Cheryl Slopak said.
Also on hand for presentation of the money were Yelm’s Dis-trict 3 Commander of the VFW Jerry Fugich and VFW Judge Advocate Col. John Thomson, State Commander Glenn Albert and his wife Judy from Spo-kane, VFW Department Chair-man and Surgeon John Rust, from Port Orchard, District 3 VFW Auxiliary President Ei-leen McKee, of Puyallup, SFAC Outreach Coordinator Jinnea Blakey, SFACE volunteer Staff Sgt. Mike Rainier, SFAC events coordinator and VFW member Corky Berthiaume, and SFAC Director Jacqueline Seabrook.
Walls accepted the gifts say-ing to the Slopaks, “We’re al-ways humbled by the support.”
To the VFW members Walls continued, “And we are grate-ful for your continued service in this capacity.”
Seabrook said when SFAC receives a gift such as this, it is used for the most immediate need. Most likely the money will be used to send a group of service members and their fami-lies to a places where they can get away for some family time.
The SFAC provides comput-er access, classes and other ser-
vices to families and soldiers. In a large classroom connected to the reception area, SFAC Educa-tion Counselor Jane Kessler was showing Sgt. Lee Duke, Master Sgt. Rosie McNair, and PFC Chrisandra Graham the ins and outs of tuition assistance and their post service education op-tions. McNair, already a nurse, said she will continue in nursing once discharged.
WTB is a military unit just like any other, said Thomson, who has used the facility him-self. It has a normal command structure, but WTB also has nursing staff, occupation and physical therapists, and so-cial workers to work with the wounded service members for their next phase of service or exit to civilian life.
Other WTBs in the country are closing and JBLM will be receiving more people. At one point, the facility held more than 600 service members. With the recent draw down, the num-bers are lower now, Blakey said.
SFAC, in addition to refer-ral and other services based on their needs, also accepts dona-tions of goods and services for wounded service members such as dinners, tickets to events and getaways. Once Blakey puts the prospective donor through a vet-ting process, a staff member connects the gift to the recipi-ent.

SHELTON (AP) — The Army says a soldier who van-ished during a parachute train-ing operation in Washington state has been found dead after a 10-hour search.
Maj. Timothy C. Chavis, a 1st Special Forces Group spokes-man, says a local rescue team helping in the search discov-ered the soldier’s body around 10 p.m. last Friday in a heavily
wooded area of Mason County.He says the soldier was part
of the special forces unit based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord who jumped from a plane at noon with other service mem-bers.
Chavis says he believes the training was a common exercise but that he can’t release other information until the end of an investigation.

Visiting Gram was always a special treat without my parents and younger siblings. We never missed church, but one conversa-tion still haunts me. In fact, each year it becomes more worrisome
and increasingly controversial.
One Sunday a man sat in front of us, his arm resting casually on the pew. Gram knew every-
one; she didn’t know him and I couldn’t take my eyes off that
arm. It was completely covered in a multicolored tattoo of a woman clad only with occasional

Club Leader, Thurston County 4-H STEM Club
Youth in Thurston County will join hundreds of thousands of youth across the world in leading the eighth annual 4-H National Youth Science Day (4-H NYSD) experiment.
This year’s experiment, called “Motion Commotion,” will com-bine a speeding car collision and a distracted driving demonstra-tion in a simulated activity that investigates the physical and hu-man factors of motion.
Thurston County youth will conduct the two-part “Motion Commotion” experiment 6:30 p.m. Oct. 7 at Southworth El-ementary School, where they will use everyday materials — in-cluding a toy car, modeling clay, ruler, calculator and cell phone — to explore physics in the real-
will construct a simulated runway to analyze the speed, momentum and kinetic energy of a car in mo-tion, and will explore the science behind the car’s collisions. In the second phase, they will lead an experiment that uses the same physics principles to demonstrate the consequences of distracted driving.
4-H NYSD is the world’s larg-est, youth-led science experiment. The national rallying event for 4-H Science, 4-H NYSD is an interactive learning experience that gets youth excited about sci-ence, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and spot-lights the many ways Thurston County youth are engaging in 4-H Science programs year-round.
“I’m really looking forward to this year’s experiment. I hope it will show these kids that dis-tracted driving could have serious consequences,” said Steven Yabs-ley, Thurston County 4-H STEM Club Leader.
The 2015 activity was de-signed by Oregon State Univer-sity Cooperative Extension in partnership with Vernier Soft-ware & Technology and selected as the winning experiment for the
eighth annual 4-H NYSD.In addition to youth in Yelm,
youth will conduct the “Motion Commotion” experiment at hun-dreds of local events taking place nationwide. National 4-H Coun-
event, with hundreds of youth participating in the experiment on Oct. 7 in Washington, D.C. The national sponsors of 2015 4-H NYSD are Hughes (HughesNet satellite Internet), Lockheed Mar-tin and U.S. Cellular.

What is the role of commu-nity-based high school sports journalism? Is it to be fair (even if it can come off as negative at times) or
angle it in a way that primarily focuses on the positive?
That’s a delicate balancing
act. Over the years I’ve tried to walk that line of being factual in articles, as well as providing a personal outlook with a column. However, sometimes on the other side of that line is a cliff.
Recently there has been some negative feedback from readers, which I’d like to address in order to pinpoint some of my potential
the best possible sports section. In last week’s paper, “Compete Every Day” was a preview story for Yelm’s cross-country team. I interviewed coach Dan Baker and four athletes, two of whom are up-and-coming freshmen
who might be the top-ranked male and female runners. Baker talked about how hard the 4A Narrows League is, and because Yelm isn’t currently at the level of Olympia, Bellarmine, etc., the goal is to focus on individual improvement.
Cayla Gable, who coaches the girls, sent me an email earlier this week saying she was disap-pointed in the angle I took, de-scribing it as bad for the athletes, their families and the program. We talked in person on Tuesday. Her response surprised me, but
BY TYLER HUEY
With two league games slated for 7 p.m. Fri-day, the Tornados and Mountaineers are planning to showcase how much both foot-ball teams have improved.
Yelm (2-0, 0-0) hosts its 4A Narrows League opener against Timberline (0-2, 0-0), while Rainier (2-0, 1-0 Pa-
not make or break a team’s season, but the results may provide a glimpse into how much success each local pro-gram will have this fall.
Jason Ronquillo and Terry Shaw, the respective Yelm and Rainier head coaches, believe their squads are primed to make a statement. Despite two lopsided losses last year to the same opponents in Week 3, both third-year coaches said they’re good enough to win.
Yelm TornadosThe biggest challenges are still to come for Yelm, such as
Olympia (2-0, 0-0) and Gig Harbor (2-0, 0-0). But the Blaz-ers provide a stern test in the form of a hungry opponent that got thumped last week by powerhouse Tumwater (2-0, 0-0 2A Evergreen) 48-10, and lost 38-32 to North Thurston (1-1, 0-0 3A Narrows) prior.
Ronquillo thinks last year’s 24-point defeat to Timberline
victories, perhaps he’s right.So far Yelm has defeated Steilacoom 44-14 and shel-
lacked Foss 41-8. Those margin of victories are similar to last season; what’s different is how Yelm is scoring. While junior running back Brandon Thompson is a focal point, the Tornados are no longer solely dependent on the ground game.
Senior quarterback Daylon Matthews honed his skills in the offseason, and his hard work is paying off. Matthews com-pleted 17 of 32 passes for 287 yards and two touchdowns at Steilacoom, then was 10 of 14 for 159 yards with three touch-down passes and scored on an 8-yard run against Foss. Junior wide receiver Kaleb
for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and senior wide receiver Jacob Nolan scored by catching an 8-yard fade pass.
Thompson has also played a big role in each win, just hasn’t had to carry the entire load. Thompson rushed for 52 yards on eight carries and returned a 55-yard punt for a touchdown. The prior week at Steilacoom, Thompson rushed for 111 yards on 19 carries, plus had 122 receiving yards on four catches with one touchdown.
In addition, Ronquillo described the defense as “stel-lar,” noting that senior DeVante Pearson returned a defen-sive fumble for a touchdown in the third quarter.
“The guys are playing at a pretty high level. We’re not playing at our best, but we are playing at a the highest level since I’ve been here,” Ronquillo said. “I’m really happy with the progress the kids have made, and if we continue
to keep making the strides that we’re making, you never know what’s going to happen.”
He went on to say that Timberline is going to give Yelm its best effort.
“They’re coming off a loss that I’m sure hurt them pret-ty well, but you learn a lot from losses so I’m sure we’ll get their ‘A’ game,” he said. “I do know that they’re a little bit bigger physically than we are. We’re faster, more athletic. We’re going to follow the game plan as much as we can and try to put our kids in a position to be successful, and it’s their job to execute once Friday night rolls around.”

maybe it shouldn’t have. My wife has told me many times that I’m blunt, which can come off as rude even though that’s not intended. I quoted Baker saying similar things I referenced in the article, as well as seemingly talked up several of the kids, but did I focus too much on the negative?
It’s a line that I crossed for some. These athletes are teen-agers, not collegiate or profes-sionals, so I never intend to hurt anyone’s feelings. Being factual even if it’s not on the positive side is OK, but maybe there have been times I unknowingly delved
too deeply into losses, or worded sentences that can be taken the wrong way.
Another wake-up call came via the Nisqually Valley News’ Facebook page. I was described as a “pretentious sports writer slamming local kids,” to which another person agreed saying, in part, “Articles he writes degrade local athletes and have personally affected my children as a result of those negative remarks.” Multiple “Likes” were also given for each comment.
Ouch.In all my years here I’ve
never been critiqued so harshly. A couple weeks ago I wrote an opinion piece about the Yelm and Rainier football teams after both had won convincingly in Week 1. I said I hope I’m wrong, but had doubts on whether the programs would reach the postseason and state tournament, respectively. In no way was I trying to anger any-one, but in hindsight I can see how those words could be hurtful.
I was once a high school ath-lete, so I understand the countless hours and preparation these young men and women put in every day. What’s important isn’t always how many awards a player or team wins; rather, it’s the stories that have led them to where they are and where they hope to go.
Just because I never meant to upset anyone in a previous article is irrelevant. That happened, I’m sorry, and it’s best to own up to an unintended wrong instead of hid-ing behind a keyboard.
The readers of this newspaper deserve better than that.
involved a passing game that was not established. Yelm ran a lot of options, and Pearson was the quarterback at that time. Thomp-son played well, but it was easier to contain him since there wasn’t a passing threat.
“I think some of the holes they have are in their second-ary,” Ronquillo said of the Blaz-ers. “Being able to know that we can attack them in all areas of the
can do that.”Despite approaching 290
yards passing in Week 1, Foss often put eight in the box to stop the run and played man coverage on the outside, which “proved to be deadly for them because it al-lowed us to run off a lot of points in the second quarter and put them in a big bind.”
“They thought that they could run with our guys man-to-man and some of our players just out competed them for the ball in the air and it happened to work in our favor,” Ronquillo said. “So it kind of threw me for a loop to think that they’d just put everybody in the box to try to stop our run game when it was clearly noted in that game prior that we could ac-
Ronquillo is happy with the progress Matthews and his re-ceivers have made. Being able to run or pass keeps opposing de-fenses off-balance, which makes Yelm unpredictable and harder to stop.
Team morale has often been high after Week 2. However, with a legitimate passing game and an improved defense, the team mo-rale has even more reasons to be high.
Everyone is having fun, which makes winning that much sweet-er.
“The work that you put in, it makes it harder to give up. The kids have really worked hard in the offseason,” Ronquillo said. “The time that they put in during the spring and summer, it makes everything worthwhile in com-peting.
“They’ve worked hard to be in the position that they’re in. … There’s no exception to hard work,” he continued. “There’s no way to get there and the kids that have stuck it out, it’s starting to show what can come of it.”
Rainier Mountaineers playoffs a season ago, Rainier is poised to make a return trip and advance farther. The Mountain-
eers defeated South Bend 58-20 and overwhelmed Kittitas 34-6 last week.
Those results are similar to 2014 but are even more impres-sive, Shaw said.
“Both the teams that we beat were better than they were last year when we beat them, and we kind of came out with the same score,” he said. “I think that’s just a result of being that much better too. I feel good going into our biggest game of the season right now.”
Raymond will be a strong test, having shutout Rainier a year ago. The Mounties are ready for the challenge, having the league’s reigning MVP, senior quarterback McKoy Bichler, at their disposal.
“I think he’s been playing re-ally well,” Shaw said of Bichler. “He’s distributing the ball like he’s supposed to and he’s keep-ing the ball when he’s supposed to. … We feel like we’re getting pretty good quarterback play from him.”
Sophomore fullback Ian Rus-sell is another reason for opti-mism. Shaw said he’s doing ex-actly what’s expected, which is “run the play, rumble for a few more yards and sometimes … he’ll get 20 or 30 extra yards. He’s a load to bring down,” Shaw said.
Shaw has emphasized playing football with a hard-hitting edge. It wasn’t the case as much back
“It’s just how we play now, which is really encouraging to see,” he said. “That’s how Ray-mond plays. They’re very tough, they’re very physical, they tackle well. There’s going to be a lot of sore bodies on both sides of the ball on Saturday morning.”
One thing that makes Rainier more prepared for the rematch is how much improved the de-fense was from Week 1 to Week 2. Shaw said Kittitas is not a bad team, but even though the Coy-otes (1-1, 0-0 Central Washing-ton B) threw many passes, they could still only muster six points.
Offense is another upside. The players understand the sys-tem more, which is imperative for the triple option. Shaw said the only way to improve on of-fense is through repetition on game day.
“Kittitas came in with the defense we thought we were go-ing to see, which is a 4-3, and
they jumped into a 4-4, which we’ve seen before but is not what we’ve practiced all week,” Shaw said. “It didn’t affect our kids at all. They knew how to react, they knew what to do and just kept playing football. The big-gest thing is understanding the scheme and constantly playing fast and playing hard.”
One of the main keys for Friday’s game is ball security. Rainier trailed 28-0 at halftime last year due to committing four turnovers, Shaw said. Another
matter of importance is stick-ing to the plan and believing in themselves.
“The thing about it is it’s not random people from Rainier just going into Raymond playing a football game. This is a Rainier football team, which is made up of our guys and our coaches,” Shaw said. “We’re a unit and we believe we can do this. We be-lieve we can beat this team.”
He went on to say that Rainier can be better than Raymond for a number of reasons, such as re-turning most of last year’s roster and having a successful offsea-son.
“Our kids are bigger and stronger than last year. They (Raymond) got guys out there that can play, but I don’t think
they have the same team as last year,” Shaw said. “All things considered, I think we’re fair-ly matched in all honesty. We played them in camp and we kind of walked away feeling that like, ‘Hey, you know, we can match up with these guys in a game.’”
Shaw is not predicting a win. However, he believes Rainier is capable of doing so, and regard-less of the outcome, the Moun-taineers will be better off playing good competition.
“Take it back to where this program has been, the recesses of the bottom of the basement three years ago, to where we’re at now, it’s certainly more impor-tant to a program like us then it would be to Raymond who’s used to winning all the time,” he said.

FISHIN’Fishing has been productive
on the Columbia River. Chinook continue to return to the upper
the catch rates are piggybacking on those return rates. Between Aug. 1 and Sept. 14 of this year a total of 562,383 fall Chinook successfully navigated beyond the Bonneville Dam barrier. That number is the second larg-est since 1938.
Correspondingly, the Wash-ington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) announced last week that this summer’s har-vest of 5,928 Chinook salmon in
the largest on record since at least 1965. The previous high was recorded in 2011 when 5,160 kings were caught.
Just last week anglers on the lower Columbia River made
-ted 9,439 adult Chinook (3,707 of those were released). An ad-ditional 186 adult coho and 37 summer steelhead were caught. Chinook harvest below Warrior Rock is now closed through Sep. 30.
The best lower Columbia Riv-
Buoy 10 where anglers averaged 1.45 coho and 1.31 fall Chinook per boat. Gorge anglers gave the buoy bonkers a run for their mon-ey by hauling in 2.41 fall Chi-nook per boat. From Vancouver to Cathlamet boat anglers reeled in almost a whole fall Chinook per boat, while bank anglers in the between the gorge and Van-couver averaged less than a third of a Chinook each.
The coho bite was down across the board outside of the Buoy 10 area. The WDFW’s pre-season prediction estimated that 540,000 adult coho would return to the Columbia this season but so far only about 18,695 silvers have been counted. Those num-bers should improve over the next few weeks; however, as the coho appear to be staging near the mouth.
statistics from the WDFW show that anglers in Marine Area 1 (Il-waco) averaged 1.4 salmon per rod, which is almost double the previous tally. North Jetty an-glers reeled in just more than half
salted catch was comprised of 71 percent coho. WDFW numbers
indicate that about 20 percent of the coho quota and 65 percent of the Chinook quota were harvest-ed by Sept. 6.
Up in the Bonneville Pool an-glers have been mainly catching fall Chinook along with a smat-tering of steelhead. A newly in-stituted anti-snagging rule went into effect at Bonneville and two of its tributaries on Sept. 15. That regulation means that any spe-

variety is also allowed, and a free festival celebrating the Columbia
Vancouver on Sept. 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Water Re-sources Education Center.
On the tributary scene it’s been a bit of a mixed creel of re-sults lately.
Cowlitz River anglers have been hooking a medley of fall Chinook, coho, summer-run steelhead and sea-run cutthroat, with the bulk of the coho being found in the lower river. Cut-throats and steelhead have been loitering around the trout hatch-ery and Chinook have been caught throughout the river.
On the heels of tragedy, an-glers should remember to be cau-tious in and around the water. A Gig Harbor man died last week
he slipped on a submerged rock and was carried downstream and beneath the current. Nearby an-glers recovered and attempted to save the man.

at Goose Lake near Carson, though. According to John Wein-
WDFW, “Through next week, Goose Lake is being planted with rainbows, browns, and cut-throats. The browns will be quite small but will grow. We had to plant them way early because of water shortages at our facilities. The cutts are a beautiful size.”
Weinheimer also noted that “several hundred rainbows from a kids’ derby held at Carson Na-tional Fish Hatchery this past weekend will be put into the lake sometime this week. These are

Bouts of rain and depressed late summer temperatures have allowed the WDFW to reopen another batch of western Wash-ington rivers that were previ-ously shuttered due to drought conditions. This time 11 Puget Sound tributaries and six rivers on the west end of the Olympic Peninsula were put back on the anglers table.
HUNTIN’The gravy train that is hunt-
ing season is picking up the pace now and rolling through your neck of the woods.
Early archery season for elk began Sept. 12 and will run through the Sept. 24, while the ongoing deer archery season will continue through Sept. 27 or 30, depending on the area. Bear hunting season also remains an option through Nov. 15.
In other areas, the high coun-try buck hunts began on Sept. 15 and will run through Sept. 25. Those hunts are open to any type of weapon.
Fall turkey season begins Sept. 19, as well as pheasant sea-son, and geese are open in most areas after a rolling startup. A two-day youth only hunt for ducks, geese and coots occurs Sept. 19-20.
-peared on the target list on Sept. 15, and of course cougars, bob-cats, fox, forest grouse, cottontail rabbit, snowshoe hare, mourning dove, crow, raccoon and coyotes are all currently primed for the cross hairs as well.
SHELLFISHIN’With the typical start of
Washington’s coastal razor clam season sitting just weeks away,
the tide, the WDFW is seeking public input on how to best man-age the upcoming season.
Ongoing issues with domoic acid, which closed the spring season early, have put the regu-larly scheduled opening in doubt. According to the WDFW, levels of the toxic acid have dropped over the summer but remain high enough to make clams unsafe for consumption. Domoic acid can cause illness or death if con-sumed in large quantities.
“Obviously we can’t open beaches to digging until toxin levels drop, but we want to be ready to go when they do,” said
manager for the WDFW, in a press release. “That preparation includes hearing from the public suggestions about the upcoming season.”
Comments and suggestions should be sent via email to, [email protected], or by postal service to Razor Clams, 48 Devonshire Road, Montesano, WA 98563. All input must be re-ceived by Sept. 30.
During the past digging sea-son (fall/winter 2014, winter/spring 2015) Washington diggers bucketed 5.7 million razor clams for an average of 14.4 clams per person, per day. That average is just a tick shy of the 15-clam daily limit.
Clam populations are expect-ed to be slightly lower than last year but they will still be above the long-term average popula-tion. According to Ayres, a best-case scenario for the opening of razor clam season is mid-to-late October.
In Puget Sound, where domoic acid has made a few cam-eo appearances, marine areas 4, 5, 6, and 7 West were closed to spot shrimping on Sep. 15.
The closure is intended to protect female shrimp during their egg-bearing period. How-ever, areas 4, 5 and 6 will remain open through Oct. 15 for coon-
All other Puget Sound ma-rine areas are already closed to shrimping.

When people think of the Humane Society, they tend to picture dogs or cats. Many are surprised that a wide variety of rabbits are also available, all of which make excellent house pets. Bunnies, like people, tend to be packed full of personality, ranging from mellow and happy-go-lucky to giving the Energizer Bunny a run for its money. Featured Pet Snow is of the first category, friendly and as easy going as they come. As her name suggests, her coat mimics crystalline water ice, dark gray almost charcoal in some places and white streaked in others. Also like snow, the shorthaired rabbit likes to hop to and fro, almost dancer-like in her lightness of feet. Meet Snow and our other cast of characters today. All buns are $15 during the month of September. Her reference number is A499855. For more information on Snow or any other pets at the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County, call 253-383-2733 or visit them at 2608 Center St., Tacoma.

This newspaper participates in a statewide classified ad program spon-sored by the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association, a statewide association of weekly newspapers. The program allows classified advertisers to submit ads for publication in participating weeklies throughout the state in compliance with the following rules. You may submit an ad for the statewide program through this newspaper or in person to the WNPA office. The rate is $275 for up to 25 words, plus $10 per word over 25 words. WNPA reserves the right to edit all ad copy submitted and to refuse to accept any ad submit-ted for the statewide program. WNPA, therefore, does not guarantee that every ad will be run in every newspaper. WNPA will, on request, for a fee of $40, provide information on which newspapers run a particular ad within a 30 day period. Substantive typographical error (wrong address, telephone num-ber, name or price) will result in a “make good”, in which a corrected ad will be run the following week. WNPA incurs no other liability for errors in publication.

ARIESMar 21/Apr 20
Hasty reactions can lead to unnecessary problems, Aries. Instead of making
assumptions, wait until you get a clear picture before you come to any conclu-
sions this week.
TAURUSApr 21/May 21
Taurus, others are impressed with your analysis
and ability to get the job done at work. Don’t be sur-prised if you soon find your-self in line for a promotion.
GEMINI May 22/Jun 21
There is nothing wrong with trying to make special moments last as long as they can, Gemini. If you
want to linger over a roman-tic dinner or keep the party
going, do so.
CANCERJun 22/Jul 22
Try to find a balance between your need for con-nection and a desire to be alone, Cancer. This week you may have to do some
juggling, but it is nothing you can’t handle.
LEOJul 23/Aug 23
Leo, you may feel free and adaptable right now, but in reality your plans are much
more fixed. You may not want to stray too far from
what’s expected.
VIRGOAug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, the depth of your feel-ings this week may come as a surprise to you. Everything
makes you feel a bit more emotional than usual. It is
okay to spend some time in thought.
LIBRASept 23/Oct 23
Libra, your mood begins to lift as you find many reasons to celebrate this week. The simplest things can bring
you happiness. Don’t forget to share joy with others.
SCORPIOOct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, you can’t quite figure out if you are happy or sad, because each new opportunity seems like an emotional roller coaster.
Enjoy the ride and appreci-ate the good times.
SAGITTARIUSNov 23/Dec 21
Sagittarius, you can appreci-ate all the little details that come with tasks this week.
You may see things that others don’t because you
are paying extra attention to your surroundings.
CAPRICORNDec 22/Jan 20
Right now you aren’t very happy about having to deal
with someone who isn’t always honest with you,
Capricorn. Just maintain a neutral attitude and you will
find happiness.
AQUARIUSJan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, you appreciate all the positive feelings coming
your way, especially in a week as challenging as this one. Make the most of all of
the positive vibes.
PISCESFeb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, you may have a hard time distinguishing
between fantasy and reality the next few days. But enjoy the extra time to daydream.
