GGHI releases Business Recognition Award nominees
From RV enthusiasts and boaters to daytrippers, picnickers and festival goers, warmer weather, winding down the school year, and holiday weekends get people out and about on highways and byways in the Grays Harbor region.
The United States is two years beyond the end of the COVID-19 pandemic and travel continues to increase.
“Travelers, especially Millennial and Gen Z, are motivated to book thoughtful, meaningful trips this year,” said Audrey Hendley, president of American Express Travel.
According to IPX1031, a Fidelity National Financial company,
“Our new 2025 travel outlook report finds 92% of Americans are planning to hit the road or take to the skies this year. More than half of people across the country are eager to travel more than they did in 2024, with many putting travel as a priority as they plan and budget their finances.”
U.S. Highway 101 winds its way through Washington state, including local urban centers and residential areas such as Aberdeen and Hoquiam, carrying travelers to and from various destinations. With local residents emerging from winter hibernation and an increase in tourist traffic, safety considerations of all types move to the forefront. Also,

Sen. Braun blasts House Democrats after bill to address
‘The new facility in Aberdeen — months away from being operational — is unlikely to resolve the crisis’
The Chronicle staff
Washington state Senate Republican Leader John Braun,R-Centralia,released a statement Thursday, April 17, airing his frustration with House Democrats for not moving forward with a bill that, if passed, would implement juvenile rehabilitation reforms designed to alleviate overcrowding and safety concerns at Green Hill School in Chehalis.
“This legislative session will end without giving the
(Department of Children, Youth and Families) the tools it desperately needs to confront overcrowding that has already led to riots, smuggling, assaults and overdoses. It’s a stunning failure — and it will have real, human consequences,” Braun said.
The bill at issue, Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5278, makes policy changes that would enable the Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) to
Rep. McEntire scores victory for coastal shellfish farms
Rep.JoelMcEntire,R-19th District, celebrated a major win for coastal communities today as the governor signed Substitute House Bill 1309 into law.
The bill establishes a research program through the Washington State Department of Agriculture to develop sustainable methods for managing burrowing shrimp. This pest threatens oyster and clam beds farming operations in Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor.
Growers say controlling the shrimp is vital to the shellfish industry in Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor.
The native shrimp are kind of like finger-sized moles of the ocean. They dig tunnels in the tide flats and anything put on top — whether it be an oyster or a rubber-booted shellfish farmer — just sinks into the mud.
“This is a big step forward for one of our state’s most iconic industries,” said
McEntire. “Burrowing shrimp have been wiping out shellfish beds and putting jobs, families, and local economies at risk. This billgivesusasmart,sciencebased path forward.”
The new law creates an Integrated Pest Management Research Program, bringing together scientists, shellfish growers, tribal representatives, and regulatory agencies to explore innovative solutions to control burrowing shrimpwithoutharmingthe broader ecosystem.
“We’ve spent years trying to replace outdated control tools that are no longer permitted,” McEntire said.
“This program will help us find real alternatives that are safe, effective, and grounded in research.”
The bill passed the Legislature with overwhelming bipartisan support—94-1 in the House and 48-1 in the Senate.
“We don’t just grow oysters in Southwest Washington—we grow opportunity,” McEntire added.
take immediate action to reduce the population at Green Hill School. Among other changes, the bill incentivizes the department to transfer residents either toward community programs or to the state Department of Corrections when certain criteria are met.
The session has seen a swath of bills aimed at addressing overcrowding in the juvenile rehabilitation system, and work has begun on a new facility in
Aberdeen; however, the timeline for that facility to begin operating has seen regular delays. In his statement, Braun came down on House Democrats for not moving forward with the bill that has so far seen bipartisan support in the Legislature.
“The fact that this bill didn’t even receive a vote in the House after passing unanimously in the Senate is a dereliction of duty by House Democrats and the Speaker,” Braun said.
“Washington has already closed two juvenile rehabilitation facilities. The new facility in Aberdeen — months away from being operational — is unlikely to resolve the crisis. Without legislative action, it will remain unmanageable and unsafe.”
Green Hill School has been operating over its safe capacity for more than a year, according to DCYF. In the summer of 2024, reports showed the 180-resident facility hosting more than 230 residents. Washington Republicans have
frequently placed the blame for recent overcrowding and safety concerns on a 2018 policy commonly referred to as JR-to-25 that allows residents to remain in juvenile facilities until turning 26. Given the financial impact of the bill and comments from Senate Democrats who included funding for juvenile rehabilitation in earlier budget proposals, it’s possible the bill could still be passed before the final legislative deadline of the 2025 session on April 27.
“This new law protects our working waterfronts and keeps our rural economy strong.”
The program is set to run through 2035, with a governing board of growers, agency officials, and community stakeholders guiding the research and grant funding process.
The2025sessionisscheduled to adjourn on April 27.

warmer weather brings a rise in pedestrian and park activity.
“Just slow down. Don’t be in a hurry. Give yourself some time to get where you’re going to be,” said Commander Steve Timmons of the Aberdeen Police Department. “There’s gonna be a lot more people walking, people on bikes, kids out in the residential areas riding bikes. That’s the biggest thing for us, just watch your speed and have your head on a swivel, and just be careful.”
RV and trailer traffic is sure to increase in the coming months as well, especially as people flock to their rented lots along the coast. Recently, a homemade trailer separated from its tow vehicle and caused an injury accident on state Route109thatresultedinan airlift to a Tacoma hospital.
“Make sure it’s hooked up correctly. Make sure you take your turns a little wider, make sure you slow down making your turns, the shift of the weight of the trailer can obviously (cause it to) tip over, so slow down around corners,” Timmons said. “It comes down to watching your speed, slowing down, and giving yourself plenty of time. That’s what I emphasize, don’t get a rush, give yourself plenty
Another concern as the school year comes to a close and kids head out for summer vacation is the proliferation of a new generation of younger, inexperienced drivers on the road.
“Well, my son being one of them, he has to drive everywhere. They just gotta go do something all the time,” Timmons said. “I know they’re excited. They have that freedom to go and drive around, as long as they’re being careful and not speeding and not being irresponsible. It does add a lot more cars on the road. It’s just having that freedom. It’s exciting.”
Fairs, festivals, outdoor concerts and other community events can stress a police department and Timmons says Aberdeen is no exception.
“It just utilizes a lot of resources, and we don’t really have a ton, so we need to have three or four officers work the streets, so we bring people in,” Timmons said. “It’s a lot to deal with, just to make sure everybody’s safe. We’re out there being visible, getting people to slow down and make sure people are having a safe and enjoyable time. It does take a lot of resources.”
Timmons said interagency cooperation is paramount when it comes to the larger events, but also with the general increase in traffic and activity.
“You always see the State Patrol working the highway with people coming into town, so hopefully it’ll slow people down. Having the relationship we have with other agencies is huge,” Timmons said. “We have no doubt that if we needed more help officers from any of the neighboring agencies would help us out. The sheriff’s office is always one to help out. We’re pretty fortunatetohavetherelationship we have with other agencies. If anything ever came down, we have no doubt they would be here in a second to help us.”
Alcohol sales and consumption tend to increase with warmer temperatures as people take to their backyards, parks and beaches for recreation and attend social gatherings.
“With the warm weather, our biggest thing is people start drinking. So just the amount of impaired drivers out on the road, we’ll get out looking for that kind of stuff, making sure people aren’t driving under the influence,” Timmons said. “So, that’s one of our biggest things. Once we get into the summer months, the nice weather, the alcohol consumption seems to go up, that’s what we focus on.”
The Aberdeen Police Department recently received a grant that allows a dedicated officer, Dillon Mitchell, to focus solely on drinking and driving enforcement.
“We were one of two agencies in the state of Washington to get a grant through the Washington StateTrafficSafetyCommission. They are paying the
wages and benefits through 2027 for one of our officers to be a dedicated DUI officer,” Timmons said. “His sole purpose, 44 hours a week, is to go out and look for DUIs. Doesn’t take calls. He’s on the road, he’s finding DUIs. His hours will shift based on need. It’s going to help us having his position available to do that and hopefully make things a lot safer for everybody. I think he got six DUIs in the first three days. We’ll catch all those people driving impaired that we wouldn’t have caught before. So it’s going to hopefully make things a lot safer for the community. The community is lucky to have him, because he’s like a magnet to DUIs.”
Warmer weather also brings more construction projects and infrastructure
improvements and the Grays Harbor region has plenty planned. Once again, Timmons says to mind your speed and be on the lookout when going through those areas.
“The biggest thing is just don’t be in a hurry. Slow down as you go through construction zones,” Timmons said. “My biggest thing I can emphasize is just don’t be in a hurry. Just slow down and make sure everyone’s safe. Give yourself plenty of time to get where you need to go.”
The bottom line when it comes to spring and summer safety according to Timmons: “Don’t drink and drive. Don’t get behind the wheel if you’re under the influence. We see a lot more of that in the summertime. That’s gonna be a big priority for us this summer.”
The Grays Harbor area has already seen an influx of RV traffic since the weather started to improve.

The District dealt with 390 outages in 2024, which was an increase from 230 in 2023.
“Working on the Washington coast, you expect wind and tree related outages to occur, but storm season hit Grays Harbor hard in 2024,” said PUD Engineering Director Tyson Reeves in a press release.
“The bomb cyclone event in November and a number of widespread, storm related outages in January and December caused PUD outage numbers and customer hours to jump
According to that press release, November 2024 was the busiest month for PUD crews, who responded to 74 outages that month.
As a result of those storms, downed trees were responsible for an uncharacteristically high number of outages. In all, the PUD responded to 246 tree relatedoutages in2024,well above the five-year average and nearly double the 129 that occurred in 2023. The areas most impacted by tree related outages were the North Beach, Central Park, Wishkah Valley and Lake Quinault areas.
“This is why we put such an emphasis on tree trimming and vegetation management,” said General Manager Burkhart.
“Our engineers and crews have designed and built a strong and capable system, but with so many trees growing along the lines and strong winds coming off the coast, it is imperative that we remove ‘problem’ trees and cut back other vegetation to reduce the chance of storm related outages.”
Heading into 2025, Grays Harbor PUD commissioners have approved a $121.3 million budget with $12 million earmarked for capital projects. Also, the commissioners approved a new 20-year Bonneville Power Administration contract.

WA House’s prudent approach to transportation is the right one
Faced with rising project costs and falling gas tax revenues to pay for them, state House and Senate transportation committee leaders laid out far different spending plans in Olympia this year. While the need to maintain roads, fix bridges and build ferries is critical work, negotiators should steer more toward the House’s, one that hews more closely to budget realities without overpromising projects too financially risky to deliver now.
Soaring costs have added hundreds of millions of dollars to projects including the state Route 520 Portage Bay Bridge replacement. That is in
Imagine my surprise when in the spring of 1939 a letter arrived at my house inviting me to dinner at the Old Chancellery with the world’s most reviled man, Adolf Hitler.
I had been a vocal critic of his on the radio from the beginning, pretty much predicting everything he was going to do on the road to dictatorship. No one I knew encouraged me to go. “He’s Hitler. He’s a monster.” But eventually I concluded that hate gets us nowhere. I knew I couldn’t change his views, but we need to talk to the other side — even if it has invaded and annexed other countries and committed unspeakable crimes against humanity.
part because a limited number of contractors, whose strapped workforces are already swamped with other infrastructure projects, can only take on so much. State contracts often attract little competition, which drives up the price tag. Meanwhile, as more drivers move to electric cars or at least more fuelefficient ones, the state’s gas tax revenues continue to fall as the transportation budget’s primary revenue source.
Amid this backdrop, the House committee, chaired by Rep. Jake Fey, D-Tacoma, chose to pump the brakes on its twoyear, $15 billion budget proposal, delaying some large projects including widening a section of
state Route 18. The Senate committee, led by Sen. Marko Liias, D-Edmonds, doubled down, resorting to new fees, issuing new debt and tapping the state’s general fund budget for funding to continue breaking ground and keep projects including Highway 18 work on schedule.
Fey, along with ranking member Andrew Barkis, R-Olympia, approached the budget conservatively, acknowledging that the more than $1 billion hole in this year’s two-year budget might require cuts exclusively. The Senate version, which includes the bipartisan blessing from Sen. Curtis King, R-Yakima, relies on a mix of new gas taxes and construction bonds. Simply put, it
spreads the money too thin and is unrealistic about what it can accomplish.
Spending more might jump-start some projects but it will certainly not rein in costs. A state Transportation Department study found that since 2017, projects with four or more bidders cost the state less than the state engineers’ estimate. Those with three or fewer bidders cost more — including a whopping 65.5% average gap between the estimate and the actual cost when just one contractor bids.
Better to wait until the labor supply and market conditions improve enough to attract more bidders. The House approach wisely pauses some work. Their budget
funds in-progress projects like the Puget Sound Gateway program, completing Highway 167 in Pierce County and Highway 509 in King County. But it delays others.
“It’s not great to push these projects off, but our sense was until things settle down, this isn’t the time to ramp up projects,” Fey said. That’s the right move.
The Legislature will debate gas tax increases this year that are not certain to pass and gain Gov. Bob Ferguson’s signature.
The House’s budget still cobbles together revenue from new fees while still ensuring important programs. Among them are the rebuilding of the state’s ferry fleet and adding more than $1 billion in work
Larry David: My Dinner With Adolf
Two weeks later, I found myself on the front steps of the Old Chancellery and was led into an opulent living room, where a few of the Führer’s most vocal supporters had gathered: Himmler, Göring, Leni Riefenstahl and the Duke of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII. We talked about some of the beautiful art on the walls that had been taken from the homes of Jews. But our conversation ended abruptly when we heard loud footsteps coming down the hallway. Everyone stiffened as Hitler entered the room. He was wearing a tan suit with a swastika armband and gave me an enthusiastic greeting that caught me off guard. Frankly, it was a warmer greeting than I normally get from my parents, and it was accompanied by a slap on my
back. I found the whole thing quite disarming. I joked that I was surprised to see him in a tan suit because if he wore that out, it would be perceived as un-Führer-like. That amused him to no end, and I realized I’d never seen him laugh before. Suddenly he seemed so human. Here I was, prepared to meet Hitler, the one I’d seen and
heard — the public Hitler. But this private Hitler was a completely different animal. And oddly enough, this one seemed more authentic, like this was the real Hitler. The whole thing had my head spinning. He said he was starving and led us into the dining room, where he gestured for me to sit next to him. Göring immediately
grabbed a slice of pumpernickel, whereupon Hitler turned to me, gave me an eye roll, then whispered, “Watch. He’ll be done with his entire meal before you’ve taken two bites.”
That one really got me. Göring, with his mouth full, asked what was so funny, and Hitler said, “I was just telling him about the time my dog had diarrhea in the Reichstag.” Göring remembered. How could he forget? He loved that story, especially the part where Hitler shot the dog before it got back into the car. Then a beaming Hitler said, “Hey, if I can kill Jews, Gypsies and homosexuals, I can certainly kill a dog!” That perhaps got the biggest laugh of the night — and believe me, there were plenty.
But it wasn’t just a oneway street, with the Führer dominating the conversation. He was quite inquisitive and asked me a lot of questions about myself. I told him I had just gone through a brutal breakup with my girlfriend because every time I went someplace without her, she was always insistent that I tell her everything I talked about. I can’t stand having to remember every detail of every conversation. Hitler
through 2031 to restore fish culverts under a court decision and advocated by local tribes. That Liias and King crafted a bipartisan proposal is notable, and the pair should remain in lockstep through the process for the good of all Washingtonians. But the House budget is wise to slow some spending, and lawmakers should steer negotiations for the final budget toward its more prudent vision.

said he could relate — he hated that, too. “What am I, a secretary?” He advised me it was best not to have any more contact with her or else I’d be right back where I started and eventually I’d have to go through the whole thing all over again. I said it must be easy for a dictator to go through a breakup. He said, “You’d be surprised. There are still feelings.” Hmm … there are still feelings. That really resonated with me. We’re not that different, after all. I thought that if only the world could see this side of him, people might have a completely different opinion.
Two hours later, the dinner was over, and the Führer escorted me to the door. “I am so glad to have met you. I hope I’m no longer the monster you thought I was.” “I must say, mein Führer, I’m so thankful I came. Although we disagree on many issues, it doesn’t mean that we have to hate each other.” And with that, I gave him a Nazi salute and walked out into the night.

As Congress is working to impose budget cuts, it has put the stability of the crucial Medicaid program on the chopping block. The leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives has set a target of cutting $880 billion from Medicaid, which will jeopardize the health of patients and communities here in Washington state. Nearly 2 million Washingtonians are covered by Apple Health, Washington’s statewide Medicaid program, including 800,000 children. Cutting Medicaid — America’s critical health care
safety net — would be both cruel and catastrophic. Medicaid covers essential screenings, contraception, prenatal care and delivery. Medicaid plays an outsized role in healthy pregnancies in Washington. Over 45% of births in the state are covered by Apple Health. Cutting Medicaid means that many of our patients will not have coverage for the prenatal care they need. Additionally, Medicaid covers postpartum health care for the year following delivery, when the majority of maternal deaths in Washington state happen. The United States continues to have the highest rate of maternal mortality among high-income nations, and roughly 80% of maternal deaths are considered
to be preventable. As we continue working hard to prevent maternal deaths, protecting Medicaid is essential to our progress. Medicaid is particularly critical for women in rural Washington, where it covers over 70% of births in Franklin, Ferry, Grant, Okanagan, Yakima and Adams counties. Our hospitals need Medicaid funding. Given that 90% of Washington’s hospitals are nonprofit or publicly funded, there is no way to estimate the immense harm that will be done by such a significant financial blow. Nationally, 25% of hospitals have closed their labor and delivery units between 2011 and 2021. Likewise, nine hospitals in Washington state
have closed their labor and delivery units in the past five years, including Naval Hospital Bremerton, Astria Health in Toppenish, Community Hospital in Forks and Virginia Mason in Seattle.
Struggling hospitals close their labor and delivery units for financial reasons, and if nearly half of pregnant women will no longer have adequate health insurance, more labor and delivery units will likely close. This will impact not only those currently covered by Medicaid, but those with private insurance who will also need to travel farther for care. When women live farther away from obstetric care, we see higher rates of preterm labor and poorer
pregnancy outcomes that can result in long-term health issues for the mothers and babies. Finally, everyone will pay the price. Those with private insurance will likely face higher health care costs as hospitals attempt to offset revenue losses resulting from Medicaid cuts.
We ob-gyns are deeply alarmed by the potentially disastrous impact Medicaid cuts would have on our patients. Our job is to ensure that our patients are empowered to live healthy lives and have access to the health care they need.
While Congress continues to deliberate these cuts, one thing is for sure: If Medicaid is cut in Washington state, women — and their families — will bear
the brunt of the consequences. It is not too late for us to raise our collective voices in support of Medicaid and opposition to these steep cuts. The lives of our fellow Washingtonians depend on it.

In the second half, Elma would regain the lead when Venegas stole the ball from a Montesano center defender and scored in the 67th minute. Ten minutes later, Montesano respondedwhenstandoutforward Felix Romero sent one of his patented long throw-ins toward the back post, where midfielder

Elma head coach Carson Seaberg credited the play of Venegas, sophomore midfielder Diego Morales andgoalkeeperTreyYeager.
“I thought Trey played an outstanding game. He’s a first-year varsity starter and he has just gotten tougher and tougher,” Seaberg said, noting Yeager extending his range to thwart potential Monte scoring chances. “Ballsthatwewerehavingto defend all the way back into our box, he’s picking up. … He caught the ball well and made a bunch of saves. Two set-piece goals against him, that’s tough to place on him when we’re leaving people open. He played really well.”
With the win, Elma stays a half-game ahead of Forks for fourth place in the league standings.
“This was an important win for us as far as trying to keep pace with the top teams in our league,” Seaberg said. “It was a good win for us in that matter.”
The loss moves Montesano 1.5 games behind Raymond-South Bend for the league lead, meaning the Bulldogs will need some help if they hope to claim the top spot in the 1A Evergreen this season.

Aberdeen 2, Centralia 1
Aberdeen took a first-half lead and held on for a key 2-1 win over Centralia on Friday in Aberdeen.
The Bobcats (7-2, 4-1 2A Evergreen) got on the board at the midway point of the first half when Ricky Granados chipped a pass over the Tigers defense to senior forward Elmer Torres, who sent a shot on goal that was blocked.
The ball ended up on the foot of senior striker Marc Avila, who shot the ball past two defenders and the keeper from 12 yards out in the 21st minute.
Eightminuteslater,Torres was taken down in the box to earn a Bobcats penalty kick. Edgar Ceja converted the PK for a 2-0 lead.
But just 30 seconds later, Aberdeen’s inability to clear a long ball in its own defensive third led to a header goal by Centralia, making it a 2-1 game heading into halftime.
In the second half, the Bobcats’ efficient and effectivetouchandpassinggame that has led them to be one of the 2A Evergreen Conference leaders this season was “nowhere to be found,” according to Cats head coach Larry Fleming.
The Tigers took advantage by spending the majority of the second half in the
Bobcats’ defensive third, earning several good scoring chances in the process. But the Aberdeen defense and goal keeper Grady Osina were able to keep the Tigers scoreless in the second half to preserve the win.
“I’m not very happy with our overall performance. We obviously need to get back to basics and work on our first touch and passing game,” Fleming said. “Regardless, we were able to play well enough on the defensive end to get the win and that’s the big positive.” Fleming cited the performances of Aberdeen defenders Cris Lopez and Angel Espinoza, whom he said “played strong defense tonight.”
WiththewinandTumwater’s victory over W.F. West, the Bobcats move into a three-way tie for first place with the Thunderbirds and Bearcats in the league standings.

Aberdeen 6, Black Hills 2 Allseasonlong,Aberdeen pitcher Lilly Camp has used her right arm to dominate opposing teams. OnMonday,shealsoused her bat.
Camp led an Aberdeen offensive outburst with four hits in a 6-2 Bobcats win on Monday in Black Hills.
Aberdeen (10-1, 5-1 2A Evergreen) took an early lead with two runs in the top of the first thanks to RBI singles by infielder Britten Neal and Camp. The Bobcats doubled the lead in the third on an RBI double by Rylee Hendricksonandarun-scoringsingle off the bat of second baseman Ally Adams. A run in the fourth off a single by first baseman Maysinn Jones put Aberdeen up 5-0.
Black Hills, which was no-hit by Camp back on April 11, finally got to the Cats’ ace with two runs in the fifth on an RBI ground out by Makenna Oderman followed by a sacrifice fly from Madi Malone. But Camp would work of the jam and wiggle her way out of a Wolves one-out,

LeftfielderAudreeGaddis went 3 for 3 with an RBI and two stolen bases with Hendrickson and Adams collecting two hits apiece for the Bobcats.

Mom devastated by daughter’s intended wedding plans
Dear Abby: My oldest daughter, “Alexa,” is breaking my heart. She’s engaged to a nice enough man she’s been with for five years, but she has cast aside every single wedding tradition that’s important to us.
Alexa won’t wear an engagement ring because diamonds are “ugly” and not politically correct. She has refused to have either an engagement party or a bridal shower. Because they are forgoing a registry, my friends have no idea what to get them for wedding gifts. (Turns out, none of my friends are invited to the wedding — only their friends and family.) She also refuses to have a bridal party, so her sisters are hurt because they wanted to be bridesmaids.
stay home rather than be ignored, and I’m not sure I want to be there either. How do we navigate this without alienating our daughter?
—Ruined Wedding in New York
not obligated to inform us because it was locked and the ammunition was stored apart from it.
—Threatened in Oregon
3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition
I was so looking forward to shopping with her for her bridal gown, but she doesn’t want to wear one. (She bought a plain white dress instead.) Worst of all, her father can’t walk her down the aisle because, in her words, she’s not property to be given away. There will be no reception — just champagne and wedding cake in the basement of the church. There’s no wedding dinner, not even appetizers, and no wedding toasts. There won’t be a first dance because there’s no band.
Dear Ruined Wedding: You and your husband navigate this by reminding yourselves that Alexa’s wedding is hers, not yours. You have already had two weddings — your own and your younger daughter’s. Comfort yourselves with the knowledge that you and your husband can spend the money you would have blown on this shindig on a luxury vacation for yourselves.
I understand that she watched her younger sister turn into a bridezilla, but her sister did have a gorgeous wedding that we paid for. We’re willing to pay for hers too, but she and her fiance are refusing to do anything we want. They are both doctors and can pay for whatever they want. Her father is ready to
Dear Abby: What do you think about some relatives who asked to come and stay with us while they relocated to our state, and brought a handgun and ammunition into our home without our knowledge? We have a 7-yearold daughter! They don’t think they did anything wrong and claim they were
Dear Threatened: From what you have written, your relatives practice gun safety. Their weapon is locked, and the ammunition is stored separately. I will assume that your child did not find or handle their weapon. That said, no one has the “right” to bring a gun into someone else’s home without their permission. If your relatives can’t immediately find other lodging, they should check what the Oregon gun laws are and consider storing their weapon away from your house in the trunk of their vehicle.

LAST WORD IN ASTROLOGY
By Eugenia Last
Happy Birthday: Embrace this year with enthusiasm and passion. Choose to be a participant rather than a bystander. Refuse to be a victim or attach yourself to something you don’t enjoy or a lifestyle that leaves you feeling cheated. Make choices that help you turn your dreams into a reality. Discontentment solves nothing if you aren’t willing to take control and initiate positive change. Choose to take responsibility for your happiness. Your numbers are 6 13 22 27 30 36 42
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Look for alternatives when facing negativity or disappointment. A backup plan will offer peace of mind and ensure you won’t lose time or your reputation. The risk of insult or injury is apparent if you participate in controversial events or activities. Patience, precision and a positive attitude are necessary. 3 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make a to-do list and embark on taking care of business and freeing up time to nurture yourself and meaningful relationships. Refuse to let anyone exploit you or bait you into a no-win situation. A positive attitude and willpower will help you outmaneuver anyone who gets in your way. 4 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Do the groundwork and avoid conflict. Today, take time to prepare and look out for yourself. Refuse to let the changes others make confuse or disrupt your agenda. Put a plan in place and finish what you start. Learn from experience and keep your documents, living space and responsibilities in order. 2 stars
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stop talking and start doing. Your words will have no merit if you are all talk and no play. Review your routines, lifestyle and health, and make changes that give you promise and hope for a brighter future. Obliterate bad habits and replace them with proper diet, exercise and a positive attitude. 5 stars
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Refuse to get upset over nothing. If you don’t like what’s happening, do something about it. Complaining won’t help, but actions and enforcing the changes that can improve your life will help you get results and gain respect. Communication, research and the path that soothes your soul is favored. 3 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Detail, precision and an affordable budget will produce positive results. Refuse to let anyone talk you into overdoing or overspending. Question and verify the information you receive. Changing how, where or with whom you live will result in peace of mind and a more manageable lifestyle. Personal gain and self-improvement are favored. 3 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Reiterate your plans to anyone affected by your choices before you begin. It’s best to get approval to avoid bailouts or setbacks. Stick to facts and question any information you receive that sounds far-fetched. It’s nice to give a picturesque adaptation, but don’t promise the impossible. 3 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take time to acquaint yourself with people of interest. Focus your energy on lively discussions that touch on topics that can enhance how you live and use your skills or what you choose to do next. Getting closer to someone who can assist you will encourage a joint venture. Romance is in the stars. 5 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Note how others react. What you hear and see will show discrepancies that you should address before you work side by side with someone. Tally up what things cost before you agree to an offer or hire someone for home repairs. A financial gain is apparent, but so is overspending. Easy come, easy go. 2 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep personal information to yourself. Someone will twist your words or mislead you if you aren’t specific. Changing your location, attending an event or starting a new activity will boost your confidence and encourage you to make a positive change. Establishing how you feel and what you want is in your best interest. 4 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Concentrate on your health and well-being. Physical activities will help you blow off steam that you might otherwise direct at someone close to you. Protect your reputation and choose to keep your thoughts to yourself. Update your skills to ensure you can keep up in a competitive market. 3 stars PISCES (Feb.
20): Cap your spending,
