Jared Lanphear and Aeriel Strough, 22-yearold White River graduates, were killed at a logging site near Wilkeson Thursday evening after an excavator they were in rolled down an embankment. The driver, 35, survived and reported the incident at about 10:45 p.m. The three reportedly met over drinks and decided to go for a ride in the woods that night. “They were located 10 to 12 miles from Wilkeson, up a gravel road near a logging camp,” East Pierce Assistant Chief James Jaques said. “Both patients were dead at the scene.” The survivor’s injuries were treated by East Pierce firefighter-paramedics and he was transferred to a local trauma center for further evaluation. His injuries were not reported to be life threatening. Law enforcement began the initial search for the other two victims, who were pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of the accident is being investigated by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.

“This store is going to be a great new addition to historic downtown Sumner, and we really appreciate the Ladds, Chase and Goodwill for investing in the heart of our town,” Mayor Dave Enslow said. “Sumner is really getting to be a shopping destination that offers unique stores that specialize in up cycling. It fits perfectly to have the best donations offered in a boutique format on our

His vision was consistent with that of Goodwill, Clara Ladd said, because he used his position to leverage opportunity for young people. “His restaurants provided a first job for many young people,” said Clara Ladd. “He loved to see young people blossom as they gained confidence
