Area affected by Comcast outage

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com SOUTH BEND – South Bend and Raymond were impacted by a Comcast Xfinity power outage that affected their users from noon Friday through 9:45 am Saturday.

The outage shut down the Internet, phones and television, and it also affected several states throughout the country, including at least California, Texas, Florida, New Jersey, Iowa, Illinois, Arizona, Rhode Island, Georgia and West Virginia.

Comcast has not been very forthcoming about releasing information on the matter.

“I'm still trying to get some information; they (Comcast) were very evasive (about releasing information),” Information Technology Manager for Pacific County Andy Seaman told the Her-

ald Monday morning. “I'm trying to find out what the outage was caused by. We had no Internet access at all; it was fairly major. We've fixed most of this morning.

There was also a fire district out in eastern Washington and Charter Cable in Long Beach was out.”

Seaman added that locally, “The 911 circuits were up. Some patrols didn't have access to their database. Our internal email was working.”

Director of Pacific County Emergency Management Agency Scott McDougall told the Herald, “It did have an effect on the county. It was serious and the county is waiting for an explanation from Comcast to see what happened.”

“It took down city hall for most of the day,” SBPD Officer Eric Fuller said. “I was not able to utilize my computer in my patrol car.”

Fuller labeled it a “huge” problem.

Pacific County 911 Dispatch Director Ed Heffernan said,“We had no reports of 911 being shut down.”

A spokesperson at the Raymond PUD office said, “We had nothing to do with it. We don't know what the cause was.”

An employee at Comcast in the Philippines told the Herald that Comcast “is A driftwood sculpture created by Van Adam Davis of North Cove. doing enhancement repairs to fix the situation.”

Freeman loves kids, addresses pressure of competing in a super conference

Photo Courtesy USC Athletics Former Raymond HS track and field standout Karlee Freeman has one year of eligibility remaining at USC.

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail. com Former Raymond junior and senior high school standout student-athlete Karlee Freeman set the standard for what to achieve both athletically and scholastically. Her work ethic earned her a full-ride scholarship to attend the University of Southern California, where she is now in her fifth year of eligibility.

While at Raymond, Freeman achieved a “Top Gun” status after a countless number of successes. In junior high, she placed first in the discus at the National Junior Olympics in Humble, Texas, while competing in the 1314-year-old age bracket. As an eighth grader, she was ranked number in the country in the discus.

As a senior at RHS in 2018, she was named the 2017-18 Gatorade Washington Girls Track and Field Athlete of the Year – the first Gatorade Washington Girls Track and Field Athlete of the Year to be chosen from RHS. At the Class 2B state meet in 2018, Freeman won the discus, shot put and javelin, and showed her versatility by finishing fourth in the 100-meter dash. She rewrote her own meet record in the discus, and set the standard for all state classifications in the shot put. Her sweep of the three throwing events was the first for the 2B girls since Ilwaco's Cathy Schmidt did it in 2000. Freeman also starred in basketball and volleyball at RHS. Freeman, now 22 and living in Los Angeles, is the daughter of Briana and Philip Freeman.

She has a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and is working on a second masters. She plans to compete in track and field as a thrower this season.

Freeman conducted a track and field training camp for three different age groups last month including kindergarten, first through third graders, and fourth, fifth and sixth graders. Of the camp. Freeman said, “I had a blast putting a camp on. It feels great being able to share the love for track with other kids from this community. It was a great group of kids with great attitudes. If I am able to put this on again, I hope I see all of these kids turn out.”

Freeman, who, to many is a star in more ways than one, responded to several questions from the Herald the past couple of weeks. Below is Part II of Freeman's interview.

Herald: What did you enjoy the most about your five-day track and field training camp that you conducted in Raymond recently?

Freeman: Kids are hilarious. I loved spend-

ing time with them. I’m glad it gave the kids something to do and they got a taste for what track and field is like. I could see them become more and more interested and passionate about it once they realized that they were actually pretty good and they were getting better throughout the week. We kept track of their PR’s each day, so they all came in the next day eager to break their records. I like putting that fire and passion into these young kids. They have so much potential, they just need someone to tell them that. I’m hoping this can become a yearly event that I can put on for the community. It is just as life-giving for me as it is for them.

Herald: Who and what do you attribute your academic and athletic successes to in elementary school, high school and college?

Freeman: All glory to God. I undoubtedly would not be where I am today without my God-given talent. But I also wouldn’t be where I’m at today if it wasn’t for my dad installing hard work, grit, determination, and mental toughness into me at a young age. It wasn’t fun running sweet 16’s at the end of each basketball practice when I was 8 or coming home and running around the house after soccer games, but I quickly realized that every time my parents were pushing me physically/athletically, it was building my character, dedication, and love for sports and getting better. My parents pushed me and coached me in everything until I was in high school. Then I had a few Raymond coaches who helped develop me in other sports, which ultimately contributed to my athleticism in track.

It wasn’t until I met my private coach, Shaun Straka, my junior year of high school that I took throwing to the next level. He developed me in the ring and in the weight room. He took me across the country for national meets, got me some recognition in the collegiate world, and really became family to me. He’s the reason I got into USC. What I’ve learned being in college sports is that it’s pretty rare to stay at the same school and keep the same coach your entire career.

Coaching staffs change, athletes transfer, coaches get fired/quit, etcetera. But not only have I had the same coach my entire time at USC, but USC track and field has had the same throws coach for 30 years. Coach Dan is one of a kind. He’s the most authentic person I have ever met. It’s hard to find a coach who prioritizes your mental and emotional wellbeing just as much as they prioritize your physical and athletic well-being. But Coach Dan does that. He really cares about his athletes

Second drive for SBSD mascot in full swing

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com SOUTH BEND – After not getting enough interest to choose a new mascot last year, South Bend School District hopes to find one the second time around before next March, if not sooner.

The new mascot timeline for South Bend Jr./Sr. High School is March 1, 2023, set by the board of directors at last month's regular school board meeting. This action follows a year-long pause from when the mascot matter was put on the shelf.

South Bend Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jon Tienhaara put the mascot issue back in the forefront when he posted information on his blog July 6: The mascot issue stems from a recent Washington State law (HB 1356) banning the use of Native American names for school mascots, which was signed by Governor Jay Inslee in 2021.

Though the school did some extensive work to identify and select a new mascot during the spring of 2021, no clear mascot replacement was identified. Rather than rush the decision, the board elected to pause the selection See freeman Page 2

process until now.

From now until August 31, 2022, the board invites the public to provide ideas for the new mascot. Input can be provided one of two ways: 1) sending an email to school director Wendy Manlow at wmanlow@ southbendschools.org; or 2) completing a feedback form found at:https://forms.gle/ ezirv5igjC9hKML37.

The board will select possible mascots from the summer input collection and provide visuals for the public to view at upcoming fall sports events. Collected feedback will then be shared with a focus group in January, 2023, preceding the March 1, 2023, deadline. The focus group will evaluate the collected mascot input and provide a recommendation to the board.

School Hirings, Construction News Dr. Tienhaara addressed questions from the Herald concerning the mascot and other school news.

Firstly, Tienharra informed about the new teacher hirings for 2022-23, including Carlee Cavanaugh (first grade), Savanah Friese (preschool-fourth grade, spe-

cial education), Jose Ramos (junior high ELA (English Language Arts), Stacey Webber-Villenueva (Pediatric Mental Health); and Jamie Howell (9-12 special education teacher).

Secondly, Tienharra addressed the progress of construction projects on the South Bend campus. “Rognlins is still on schedule for the seismic retrofit of Koplitz Field House. They are doing extensive work to build structural supports. We are about to begin a major stormwater upgrade and a couple paving projects across the district.”

Dr. Tienharra fielded questions from the Herald concerning the new mascot drive.

Asked how much feedback/response does SBSD need to finally make a decision about what to change the mascot to, Tienhaara said, “The board is moving forward as required by the new Washington State law signed

by Governor Jay Inslee that bans Native American names and imagery from being used by schools. The board has outlined their process for selecting a new mascot.

beyond winning an NCAA championship. He has taught me how to handle life through track and field. He’s taught me how to use the obstacles in my path to become a better human being. He is the best throwing coach to ever do it. Coach Dan has been the only person to not give up on me while at USC – even when I gave up on myself.

We have a 50/50 relationship, but I know I can rely on him to pick up any extra percentage when I can’t give my 50. I’m thankful that God gave me a coach that has turned into a lifelong friend.

Herald: How has your track and field career at USC gone after four years of competition? What events have you participated in? What is your best event? What events/competitions have you placed the best at?

Freeman: I came to USC primarily for discus, but have trained and competed in all the other throwing events. In the last four years, I’ve PR’d by 12 feet in the discus and set the USC freshman discus record. I have PR’d by 3 feet in the shot put and have scored points at the USC-UCLA dual meet and Pac-12 Conference championship meet in shot put.

I have thrown the weight throw a few times in indoor meets. I have thrown and scored in the javelin at every USC-UCLA dual meet. For the first two years of college I also trained

Mailed to every local home weekly - Nearly 5000 ... Facebook can't beat that!

for the hammer throw but decided to solely focus on discus this past year.

Discus is still by far my best event. I placed fourth at the Pac-12 Conference championship meet this past year. I have competed at the first round of NCAA’s every year since I’ve been at USC. I’m excited to see what I can do in my last collegiate year of throwing.

Herald: How intense is the competition in the Pacific-12 Conference?

Freeman: The PAC-12 conference has some pretty good throwers. We usually have a good handful of people make it to the second round of NCAA’s from the Pac-12 Conference. Any collegiate level competition is very hard and stressful, but I had my best competitive performance at this year's Pac-12 meet. Once you get into these championship meets (USC-UCLA Dual meet, Pac-12’s, NCAA round 1, and NCAA round 2) anything can happen. It’s a brand new season. You have to be mentally and physically prepared to be a strong competitor in these meets.

Herald: During your career from middle school to high school and now during college, have you felt a lot of pressure to succeed, and if so, how do you prepare yourself or respond to alleviating pressure before a big meet or throw?

Freeman: If there’s one

thing I’ve learned in college from my coach, it’s the importance of authenticity. So to be completely honest, I didn’t struggle with pressure in middle school and high school because it came so naturally easy for me. Throwing for a small school in a small league made it easy for me to freely compete. Because of my Godgiven athletic ability, I was just naturally ahead of the rest of the girls, so that pressure to be better than everybody else hadn’t set in yet. However, the pressure to succeed at a collegiate level has been my biggest limiting factor. Learning to overcome this is still a work in progress. Everybody at this level is good. Everybody was the big fish in their small town when they were in high school.

It’s a different world. The way I’m learning to overcome this pressure is by being completely, 100 percent authentic about it with my coach. He’s on my side and he’s there to help alleviate this stress when it arises during a meet. Although, the biggest factor that has helped me has been placing my identity in Jesus Christ instead of my accomplishments in track. This puts track into perspective and reminds me that there’s always something greater than the outcome of the meet – and that’s the love that God has for me. It wins when I fail. So before I step into the discus ring I always thank God for the opportunity to be doing

something I love and remind myself that God’s not living in my world, I’m living in His and no matter what happens, it’ll be okay.

Herald: Do you have any thoughts about USC and UCLA leaving the Pac-12 and going to the Big 10 in 2024?

Freeman: USC leaving the Pac-12 for the Big 10 won’t affect me since I only have one more year left, but I think there are pro’s and con’s to the change. USC athletes will have to travel to completely different places to compete. The weather will be different, time zones will be different, travel dates will be longer. I think it might get a little more difficult to travel and compete on the athletes especially when taking classes.

However, I think the competition will be stronger and better and there will be a lot more recognition for the athletes. The Big 10 has a lot more money than the Pac-12 does. There are twice as many, maybe three times as many, fans watching Big 10 sporting events than fans watching Pac-12 sporting events. Our football and basketball teams will get more viewership, which means they will receive more money, so hopefully some of that money will trickle down to the USC track and field team, which would help with facilities, equipment, gear, etcetera.

Herald: You already have two degrees and are going for a third. What career field are you open to with a BA in communications and a masters in social entrepreneurship? What would you do with a masters in social entrepreneurship? And, what type of career would you be open to with a masters in human resource management?

Freeman: I’m interested in a lot of things, especially on the business side, so I’m keeping my options open. I’m trusting God will reveal my post-collegiate purpose at the right time and I’m excited to step into that.

Karlee Freeman has responded to the pressure of maintaining high expectations throughout her life, and there's no reason to think that she won't continue to be a rising star in more ways than one when she enters her postcollegiate career.

We have had students and community members voice their desire for a mascot, and the board desires to bring conclusion to the situation while honoring the input and ideas from our students, alumni, staff and community.”

Hopefully, the mascot issue will not have to be put on hold again.

“We believe we will have a good response, and we also have the data from the original efforts,” Tienhaara said. “One thing the board would like to provide, this time, is artwork for potential mascots, and we feel this could help all stakeholders make a better informed decision.”

The first time around only 354 people voted about which mascot to choose, and most of those were students and staff from the school (189 Jr./Sr. High students/staff votes, 88 elementary students/staff votes). And only 77 people returned ballots through the mail of 1,400 mailed out.

“There is not a minimum number of votes,” Tienhaara said.

“There was not a clear, identified direction as to where folks wanted to go with regards to the mascot a year ago. The board did not feel there was a definite student and community selection. The board is sensitive to the fact that the school mascot is important to our students, alumni, and community members and desires to proceed in a manner that respects all stakeholders.”

Unlike the first time, ballots will not be mailed out to the community.

“Mailing out ballots is not part of the board's recently adopted process,” Tienharra said. “Any community member can provide input as outlined in our press release, either by contacting school director Wendy Manlow or by submitting the online form. I certainly understand that many folks are unhappy about dropping the name "Indians". The school does not have a choice in that matter and we are doing our best given the circumstances given to us by state law.”

Is there any chance SBSD could just go by South Bend Athletics or South Bend Student-Athletes and have no mascot as the Washington Redskins did for a season while referring to themselves as The Washington Football Team before finally changing it to Commanders? “I cannot speak to what the ultimate decision will be as we have not gone through the new process as outlined by the board,” Tienhaara said. “The board respects and wants to hear from anyone who has input on this matter.”

At press time, a focus group had not been selected. “The board and administration will facilitate the selection of the focus group,” Tienhaara said.

People from the general public can volunteer to be in the focus group. “We always desire public support,” Tienhaara said.

“Anyone with questions on this can feel free to contact me and I will be sure their desire is communicated.”

RESS Obituaries

In Loving Memory of Letha (Edythe) (Dee Dee) Ralston April 13, 1928 - June 29, 2022 Letha J. “Edythe Stearns” Ralston was born April 13, 1928, in Raymond, WA to Hertha (Dennis) King and the late F. King.

She attended schools in Longview, Olympia, and South Bend before the family moved to Raymond in 1943 where she attended RHS until 1946. Twenty-nine years later she received her GED. On October 3, 1953, she married Bernard Ralston in Ilwaco, WA. They spent their entire lives on Willapa Harbor.

Edythe played the organ, piano, violin, and accordion.

She performed in many events in Pacific, Grays Harbor, Mason, and Lewis counties with the Lewis & Clark Gang between 1983 and 1990. She also played music at the Willapa Harbor Care Center, Alder House, and at the Senior Center.

She was a life member of Pacific Post 968 VFW Auxiliary and the American Legion Post 150 Auxiliary where she held various positions, including the president of both organizations. For years she helped on hamburger night and helped to arrange food for the monthly potlucks.

Her other interests were Scrabble, doing crossword puzzles in ink, letter and poetry writing, crafts, cooking, and baking.

Edythe was preceded in death by her husband “Bernie;” sister Margaret Dye; mother and stepfather, Hertha and Dwight Murray; and nephew, Gary Brown.

She is survived by sister Dorothy Brown of Raymond; nephews Brian Brown of Richland, WA; Steve Brown of Raymond, WA; Dyke (Tina) Dye of Hood River, OR; nieces Carol (Mike) McMurren of ID; Donna Gulani of Vancouver, WA; Janet (Joe) Anderson; and Victoria (Mark) Wells of Kalama, WA; and other numerous relatives.

Edythe and Bernie’s ashes will be laid to rest in Bernie’s father’s grave.

Join us for a potluck celebration of Edythe’s life at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 13 at Raymond’s American Legion Hall.

In Loving Memory of Richard “Aaron” Runyon

November 21, 1984 - June 07, 2022 Richard “Aaron” Runyon, 37, of Laguna Niguel, CA passed away unexpectedly on June 7, 2022 of natural causes. We are absolutely devastated by this great loss.

Aaron was born on November 21, 1984 to loving parents Richard D. Runyon and Debra J. Manavian. Aaron immediately filled the lives of those around him with Richard “Aaron” Runyon immeasurable joy.

Aaron graduated from Mark Morris High School in Longview, WA in 2003.

He went on to pursue an Associate of Arts degree from Orange Coast College, which he successfully completed in 2008. Aaron was most recently working as a Warehouse Operations Manager at RxSight Light Adjustable Lens in Aliso Viejo, CA. Although Aaron never married, he was a loving uncle to Payton, Mason, and Emme; a devoted son and brother and absolutely adored his family and extended family.

Aaron was passionate about the outdoors, hiking, skateboarding, snowboarding, animals (dogs especially) and loved spending time with his family and friends. His presence is sorely missed and his loss is deeply felt.

Aaron is preceded by his grandparents, Richard and Lilly Runyon, Harold (Lois) Burks and Carol Sedy; his aunts Carla Kubin and Chrissie Burks. He is survived by his father, Richard (Janelle) Runyon; his mother, Debra (George) Manavian; his sister Alison (Ian) Keber and their three children; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and beloved friends.

Aaron would have wanted a celebration of life be held in his honor as opposed to traditional funeral services. We request all of Aaron’s loved ones to join us in celebrating his beautiful life at the Mill City Grill in Longview, WA on Saturday, August 6 from 2:00-6:00 p.m.

SERVING PACIFIC COUNTY WASHINGTON SINCE 1995

COVID cases still high The Pacific County Public Health and Human Services received reports of 65 new COVID cases for a new pandemic total of 4390. There were five additional hospitalizations, but no deaths were reported in the past week.

COVID-19 Stats Update July 14, 2022 The numbers keep changing on a daily basis.

Cases New cases from 7/6 to 7/13: 65 New cases over the last 14 days: 143 Case rate per 100k over last 14 days: 628 Total cases since start of pandemic: 4390 Hospitalizations New hospitalizations over the last 7 days: 5 Total hospitalizations since start of pandemic: 181 Deaths New Pacific County Deaths this week: 0 Total deaths since start of pandemic: 59

Sub Variants causing reinfections this summer More COVID sub variants are announced nearly every week.

The latest is the Omicron subvariant BA.5.

This subvariant seems to be the most transmissible subvariant yet and the CDC expects it to quickly overtake all previous COVID strains and become the dominant version to spread across the globe. This variant is unique enough to cause those who have immunity from previous Omicron infections to become ill again.

A couple of weeks ago, the CDC reported BA.5 was the dominant variant in the U.S. and accounted for nearly 54% of the total COVID cases. The mutations in this variant allows it to be three or four times more resistant to antibodies, though it does not appear to cause a more severe illness.

Remember to take precautions to avoid being one of the case numbers.

Master Gardeners invite you to the 2022 Garden Tour

By Mary Shane, WSU Master Gardener Master Gardeners in Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties invite readers to attend their annual garden tour on July 23. This year’s travels will take visitors from just west of Montesano, through Central Park and on to three gardens in the Aberdeen area.

Two gardens have returned to the tour. One is a small yet handsome garden which was on the tour several years ago It is just west of Montesano, off the Highway 12 exit at Devonshire Road.

The second garden is atop the hills above Grays Harbor

Community Hospital. This garden, with its spectacular view of Grays Harbor. The garden includes a delightful area to stop to enjoy the vista offered.

In Central Park, off Deer Park Drive at Whitikan Place, the visitor will encounter a garden that is well over 40 years old which is under stumps of tree specimens, some at least three hundred years old. Still in the Central Park area, the visitor will drive a bit west and stop at 306 Linkshire Drive, a road on the south side of Highway 12. There the visitor will delight at the collection of bird
