I would like to say on behalf of the Nisqually Indian Tribe to Congress, and to any individuals at all who have any decision making ability in this matter, that we do not want any reduction of budget or finances to JBLM — and I want to say that in the most forceful way possible. We don’t want to see any financial reduction at all. Cynthia Iyall, Chairwoman of the Nisqually Indian Tribe

I just wanted to stress that JBLM is a good neighbor, we have a great partnership, and we would really suffer economically if the drawdown occurs. Sandra Romero, Thurston County Commissioner

of 1st Corps and the senior Army commander at JBLM, welcomed everyone to the session and thanked them for their support of local servicemembers. “The purpose of this discussion today is really to hear from you. ... This is really a chance to shape how this decision is going to be made,” he said. Cynthia Iyall, Chairwoman of the Nisqually Indian Tribe, spoke on behalf of the 800 members of the tribe. The tribe is close neighbors with JBLM and has developed a long-term relationship with the base, she said. “It’s taken several generations to get to the point where we are, and it’s taken a lot of issues and initiatives between the two of us to get to a point where we’re working very well together, and the benefits from us working together are both for the tribal people as well as the individuals of JBLM and our surrounding communities,” Iyall said. There are two issues important to the tribe impacted by its relationship with the base, she said. The first is cultural and natural resources.

“That includes fish, our wildlife and everything that’s important to us, from the prairies, to the river, to the Puget Sound,” she said. “We work really well with JBLM and the staff there to keep all of those natural resources as pristine as we possibly can.” The other main issue is economic development. “Through the generations, we’ve had to become players in economic development, and we’ve had to create our own economy, and we’ve had to become very active,” Iyall said. “And that is another point in our relationship that we want to continue on with JBLM. We’re at the point where we’re able to participate in business activities that we haven’t done before and as a partner with JBLM, that’s an important part of our growth. I would like to say on behalf of the Nisqually Indian Tribe to Congress, and to any individuals at all who have any decision making ability in this matter, that we do not want any reduction of budget or finances to JBLM — and I want to say that in

Tractor Supply Store Volunteers Needed for Homeless Census, Proposed for Yelm New Store Would Resource Events Be Twice as Large as Del’s at 21,000 Square Feet by Steven Wyble swyble@yelmonline.com

A Seattle Architectural Group has submitted an application to construct a new Tractor Supply store in Yelm. Tractor Supply Company is a large, national retail chain offering home improvement, agricultural, garden and livestock supplies. The company owns Del’s Feed and Farm Supply. The proposal calls for demolition of the existing Del’s Feed and Farm Supply store located at 16533 Yelm Ave. E., which is approximately 10,000

square feet, and building a new 22,000-square-foot Tractor Supply store. Public comment for the application proposal closed Wednesday. Local activist group True Grass Roots sent an email to its membership urging people to submit comments opposing the proposal. The email compares Tractor Supply to Home Depot and asks, “Do you want another ‘Walmart’ to drive businesses out of Yelm?” The email contends that local businesses such as Sunbirds, Yelm Farm and Pet Supplies, Tools West, J&I Power Equipment and Mountain Lumber, among others, may be forced to close if the “big warehouse” store opens in Yelm.

Thurston County is seeking volunteers for its annual homeless census and homeless resource events in Yelm, Tenino, Rochester and Olympia. The events are all Jan. 29-31. The census and resource events are part of a national “Point in Time” homeless count designed to determine who is homeless, why they’re homeless and what resources are needed to rehabilitate them, according to a press release from the county. The resource fairs offer families and individuals struggling with homelessness an opportunity to connect with social services and get a hot meal,

warm clothing and other survival commodities. Homeless fair events will occur Thursday, Jan. 29 in Yelm and Rochester, and Saturday, Jan. 31 in Tenino and downtown Olympia. The 2015 census organizers intend to send hundreds of volunteers throughout the county to find and interview homeless residents. Previous census volunteers include people from local schools and colleges, nonprofit organizations, faith communities, businesses, elected officials and even homeless people, according to the release. “We need a lot of volunteers to make this a successful census,” said Homeless Census

Yelm Lions Provide Free Dictionaries to McKenna Elem.

Photos Courtesy of Yelm Community Schools

This McKenna Elementary third-grader writes her name in her new, personal dictionary on Wednesday after Yelm Lion’s Club members passed the books out to every third-grader in the Yelm Community School district.

Larry Sickles passes out brand new dictionaries, courtesy of the Yelm Lion’s Club, to third-graders at McKenna Elementary School on Wednesday. An annual tradition that has been going on for years, the Lion’s donate a dictionary for every third-grade student in the Yelm and Rainier school districts. In Yelm alone, that total was 382 as of last Wednesday. In addition to purchasing enough for the current population, the Lion’s Club also provides extras for any third-graders who join the districts mid-year. On the inside of the dictionaries is a sticker where the student can write their name and also lets them know it was provided to them by the Yelm Lion’s Club. In addition to the gift, teachers will now include a lesson on how to navigate the dictionary. Yelm Schools Community Relations Assistant Coordinator Chrissy DeHan said these are one of neatest gifts because they give kids the freedom to look up a word and learn it on their own. This was Lion’s Club member Pamela Kraai’s first time handing out the dictionaries to students. She has kept a dictionary gifted to her when she was in school her whole life, packing it and moving it wherever she went, and Kraai’s three children all received Lion’s Club dictionaries when they went through the YCS system. “I enjoyed the kids’ reaction to their dictionary,” she said. “You never know as an adult what type of impact that you’ll have on young lives in the community, so this was worthwhile.”

Thurston County’s New Jail Closer to Opening Sheriff Asks for More Time to Review Proposal From County Commissioners by Steven Wyble swyble@yelmonline.com

Thurston County is getting closer to funding its new jail. The county and sheriff’s office have been working together to find money to operate the Accountability and Restitution Center (ARC) in the Mottman Industrial area of Tumwater. The county has written a draft letter of intent between the Thurston County Board of Commissioners and the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office that outlines how the county intends to fund moving into the new jail. Sheriff John Snaza met with the board of commissioners Wednesday afternoon to go over the letter. The draft letter of intent specifies how the county will work to fund the new jail: • The cost of one full-time employee will be transferred to the general fund in the 2015 first quarter budget amendment. The fund will be reviewed during the 2016 budget development process to assess if part or all of the cost of a second full-time employee must be transferred to the general fund to maintain a positive balance. • The corrections department’s payment to the Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund (ER&R) will be reduced to $31,943 in 2015. The amount needed to adequately establish

a replacement reserve fund for the ARC will be reviewed during the 2016 budget process, and the corrections budget for 2016 will be increased in the amount determined necessary to fund the reserve, not to exceed $170,000. • Once the ARC is occupied, at the earliest possible legal date, the corrections department’s 2015 budget general fund appropriation will increase by $111,879, resulting in a total general fund appropriation of $18 million. • The amount of the 2015 budget appropriation in general fund non-departmental earmarked for corrections will be increased to $283,000. In 2015, funding will be transferred to the 2015 corrections budget for certain, specified purposes. • Up to $183,000 is available to transfer to the corrections budget under certain circumstances. • Six months after the ARC is occupied, the sheriff and the county’s budget team will assess the cost of operating the jail, with cost increases not to exceed $150,000. • If the corrections department spends less than the $412,000 budgeted for contract housing of inmates, the difference will revert to the county’s general fund. • Any equipment in need of repair will be paid from the ER&R fund. • Any building repairs will be paid from the building reserve

fund. • In the event the cost of operating the corrections department in 2015 exceeds $18 million, the sheriff’s law enforcement appropriation won’t be reduced to pay for it. The letter stipulates, “This is not a guarantee that the Sheriff’s Law Enforcement and Corrections budgets will not be reduced in accordance with budget instructions given to all offices and departments in order to maintain an adequate general fund balance as determined by the board in future years.” Snaza said he’d need more time to review the letter of intent. “I do want to say that I do really appreciate us working together on this,” he said. “I just want to go over the letter of in-

tent, and there … (were) only a couple things I saw. … Obviously one of my big concerns is … what it’s going to look like moving into this facility. By the time we get in there it will be the end of June probably, if not sooner, when we agree on this and then after that, we allow six months that we agreed we should all come back and review this. And then after that we’ll probably get a better picture of the whole year for this. “What I would like to do is ... show we’re working together on this. Because I don’t think the citizens are seeing how hard we really have been working behind the scenes for so long. And I think that’s important, to show that.” Commissioner Cathy Wolfe

Rainier Food Center Working on Moving Cooler Feeding 800 Families Each Month: Unit Would Mean Lower Power Costs, More Space for Clients, More Storage for Food

Jenna Loughlin / Nisqually Valley News

If You Want to Go:

Rainier Emergency Food Center Executive Director Nancy Decker, left, and volunteers Steven Cross and Julie Scoggin, unload items for the center from a Thurston County Food Bank truck recently. The center is still working on moving its walk-in cooler and freezer unit from its old location on Centre Street to its current location on Vail Cut Off Road Southeast.

The Rainier Emergency Food Center is located at 11318 Vail Cut Off Road SE in Rainier. The center is open for food distribution 9:30 a.m. to noon Wednesdays and Saturdays, or in an on-call capacity for emergency need situations any time of day and day of the week. For more information, to volunteer time or to make a donation, call 360-280-7326, email nancyd98576@comcast.net or find the center on Facebook.

BY JENNA LOUGHLIN jloughlin@yelmonline.com

Those involved with the Rainier Emergency Food Center like their new location, but there is one thing missing — the center’s walk-in cooler and freezer. The center moved from its location in the Rainier Historical Society’s building on Centre Street in the old Rainier school building to its new location on Vail Cut Off Road next to the Valley Heart Assembly of God church in September 2011. However, it did not move its walk-in because of the cost and electric work involved. The center’s Executive Director Nancy Decker has been working since the middle of last summer to bring the unit to the new space, but various roadblocks keep holding her back. Decker and the historical society’s board had written up a contract after she got on the group’s agenda with a deadline of having the cooler/freezer moved by the end of October. But the weather and family health issues derailed that plan.

“It just wasn’t possible,” Decker said. She is once again working to get on the society’s agenda to create a new contract, and is hoping to have the unit in place by March at the latest. Having the walk-in at the center’s current location will mean Decker can get rid of all the typical home refrigerators and chest freezers being used in its stead. This will downsize the center’s power consumption and lower its electricity bill, which the church is covering. “They have been so awesome,” Decker said. Removing the fridges and freezers from the center’s distribution building will also mean more space for clients when they come by to “shop.” “It’s really important to me that we present it as a shopping experience,”

Decker said. “You pick the food that you will eat and there’s no waste.” Instead of being housed indoors, the cooler/freezer will be placed on a concrete slab that has been poured behind the center’s receiving building, making it more convenient for workers, volunteers and recipients alike. Finally, it will allow the center to store more food due to its size, for longer, since Decker will be able to freeze items like pastries to keep them fresher. There are already volunteers with the proper electrical certifications to assist with the three-day process of removing, moving and setting up the unit. What Decker still needs is financial assistance for the fuel necessary for the moving truck, as well as the electrical permit. She estimates the amount required to make it

all happen is between $1,200 and $1,500. To raise this money, Decker plans to hold fundraisers or raffles as the center relies solely on community donations. She currently has a committee of volunteers working on these ideas. “I let them roll with it,” Decker said. The center currently has 50 “awesome” volunteers, 15 to 20 of which work on the the organization’s food distribution days. The center currently feeds between 600 and 800 families per week. In December 2014, the Rainier Emergency Food Center brought in and distributed 35,847 pounds of food, which Decker called a low number. Decker said the center is the number one satellite location of the Thurston County Food Bank, feeding the largest population within the area.

Brodersen to Run for Full Term as Tenino Mayor By Nisqually Valley News

Tenino Mayor Bret Brodersen has announced his plans to run for a full term as mayor of the city in 2015. Brodersen has been the mayor of Tenino since June 2013, after the Tenino City Council voted 2-1 to appoint him for the position, which was vacated after the previ-

ous mayor, Eric Strawn, resigned in May 2013. Brodersen is currently serving the remainder of Strawn’s term, which ends Dec. 31, 2015. The mayor of Tenino served as a council member and mayor pro-tem since 2010. His goals include the continued stabilization of city finances, the improvement of the efficiency of government operations, the in-

creased transparency of city government and increased citizen engagement, he said. Brodersen believes focusing on economic develTenino opment and makMayor Bret ing investments Brodersen to improve the city’s infrastructure

will lead to the improvement of the lives of Tenino’s residents. If elected, the mayor plans to serve Tenino in “a thoughtful and open way, encouraging public dialogue” and seeks “to find longterm solutions to make Tenino the best small city in Washington while promoting (its) historic south Thurston County character,” stated a press release. Brodersen and his wife of 13

years, Kristy, have raised a son and daughter in Tenino, volunteering in the community as well. During the Tenino Farmers Market season, the mayor can often be found volunteering at the market. The press release stated he looks forward to serving the Tenino residents in the years to come. More information can be found on the Facebook page Bret Brodersen for Tenino Mayor.

Proposed Tenino Culvert Replacement Heard by Examiner by Steven Wyble swyble@yelmonline.com

Thurston County Hearing Examiner Sharon Rice held a public hearing Tuesday on a proposed $620,000 culvert replacement project near Tenino. The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife is seeking a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit from the county to remove an existing 36-inch culvert carrying Troller Creek under a paved surface on hatch-

ery grounds and replace it with an 8-foot, 9-inch by 3-foot bottomless arched culvert. The project would take place at 10500 Skookumchuck Road SE, Tenino. As part of the project, Fish and Wildlife will regrade the creek so the culvert is no longer perched above the creek bed, relocate underground utilities as necessary, create additional salmon habitat at the outfall of the culvert and plant a mix of native shrubs at both ends of the culvert. The project is adjacent to a con-

servancy shoreline environment as designated by the Shoreline Master Program for the Thurston Region. Hearing Examiner Rice said her decision would be issued as a written document within 10 business days. Robert Smith, of the county’s resource stewardship department, said county staff recommend the county approve the permit. Fish and Wildlife applied for a shoreline development permit in 2006 to do substantial upgrades to the hatchery, and it’s still operating

under that permit, Smith said. The culvert replacement “is kind of a maintenance activity for the existing facility,” he said. The hatchery is in a zoning area that allows agriculture, including aquaculture, which includes fish hatcheries, Smith said. Troller Creek is governed by the county’s critical areas ordinance, and the ordinance allows for the replacement of culverts under certain standards to conform with current standards, he said. “The whole intent of this proj-

ect is to actually bring this culvert up to current standards for fish hatcheries,” he said. “It’s a positive for the environment, so it is allowed by the critical areas ordinance.” The county’s shoreline master program designates the area as conservancy, Smith said. Hatcheries are a covered cultural activity, he said, and it does allow for hatcheries subject to a number of policies and regulations contained within the shorelines master program.

Collaboration Is the Model of Yelm Chamber’s New Director Casey Cochrane Brings 25 Years of Community, Government Relations Experience to Position

BY JENNA LOUGHLIN jloughlin@yelmonline.com

After taking over the role of executive director for the Yelm Area Chamber of Commerce a month ago, Casey Cochrane is ready to make the organization strong and relevant. His goals for his tenure include working with the Board of Directors to have a fiscally strong Chamber of Commerce that’s relevant because it is providing policy feedback to the community and its constituents, as well as providing programing and activities that add value to the chamber’s membership. “I think getting through this year and finding out where the energy is, where the passion is, where the support is and try some things that are new and really capture energy that’s already there, but focus it on business and our community development,” Cochrane said of his plans for his first year in the position. “I want the organization to be relevant and important to the community, more so than it is even now.”

Community and government relations have been Cochrane’s professional responsibility for the past 25 years. Prior to being hired by the chamber, he worked at Puget Sound Energy for the last 10 years in community relations outreach and customer service. He also worked for Tacoma’s Chamber of Commerce for 14 years doing public policy, government relations and community relations. “Working and playing well with others has kind of been my mantra,” Cochrane said. In addition, he has served on a myriad of boards, including regional economic development councils, which is where he first met Yelm Mayor Ron Harding and Nisqually Valley News Editor and Publisher Michael Wagar. Cochrane also knows Yelm City Administrator Shelly Badger from his years working for PSE. He comes from a small town in Eastern Washington and is still connected to his hometown as he is actively involved, along with his brothers, in keeping his family’s 100-year-old wheat farm in business. “I know small town, but I also know big city,” Cochrane said. Cochrane believes he was hired because he wants to be successful, and wants the organization and

I don’t want crisis to be our motivator to get things done. I want common community vision and everybody using their talents in the best way they know how to make for a better community.

community to be successful as well. He took the job because he sees it as a learning opportunity and a chance for personal growth as well as a challenge. “I’m at a stage in my career where I want to continue to do better, be successful and challenge myself to be great at what I do with the help of others,” he said. The method Cochrane plans to use is that of collaboration. While every community is unique, they do have similar issues — transportation, schools, the environment, infrastructure, tourism and getting people to spend money at small businesses. The key, he said, is to find what the community’s niches are and to work collaboratively to solve these issues. “I don’t want crisis to be our motivator to get things done,” Cochrane said. “I want common community vision and everybody using their talents in the best way they know how to make for a better community.” The strengths he sees in the area are a very motivated, tight-knit community wanting to continually have something better and a high level of accessibility to city and community staff. “They’re your neighbors,” Cochrane said. “They go to the same grocery store you do.”

YELM AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CASEY COCHRANE

The challenge he sees is that Yelm is growing quickly, becoming more complex, and is in an awkward stage of “municipal maturity” as the area changes from a mom and pop community and is losing some of that access. The role of a Chamber of Commerce in the community, according to Cochrane, is to provide advocacy opportunities, networking and education for its members. The newly formed Yelm Business Association states it wants to advocate for small, local businesses as well, and Cochrane commented that perhaps it was formed from a sense of a “vacuum of advocacy” combined with a crisis or concern. “It’s very important that if a person or organization or a business doesn’t think they’re getting what they need and they get together and create something else, I think that’s very important,” Cochrane said. “To be not engaged is the worst thing.” He added the two organizations may have different motivations behind their advocacy work and come from two different perspectives, but through collaboration and communication over a period of time, they will meld back together again.

Thus far, Cochrane has not seen moves made by the city of Yelm as anti-business, nothing that a city is not a business itself and does not run like a business. As a jurisdiction, it represents residents, environmental groups and constituency groups as well as businesses. Talking specifically about the recent move by Ice Chips Candy to Tumwater instead of the city of Yelm, Cochrane said he does not believe the perception that the city not going the extra mile was done with a mindset of not wanting businesses in town; perhaps it was a mindset of being worried about the appearance of granting favors. He also believes if those involved had to do it over again, they would make different choices. The organization is named the Yelm Area Chamber of Commerce and includes members from Rainier, McKenna and Roy. Cochrane would like to include those communities and their activities more. For example, he pictures next year’s State of the School forum will be more regional and more of a panel discussion including the other two school districts as well as South Puget Sound Community College and St. Martin’s University.

BIZ BRIEFS

Regional Tourism Expert Speaks at Joint Chamber/YBA Meeting Last week the newly established Yelm Business Association and the Yelm Area Chamber of Commerce jointly sponsored a speaking engagement at Yelm’s Triad Theater. Invited guest speaker, George Sharp, executive director of the Olympia-LaceyTumwater Visitor and Convention Bureau, spoke on the subject of “how to attract and keep visitors in your business community,” according to a press release from both

organizations. Appearing on stage together to introduce Sharp was Casey Cochrane, executive director of the Yelm Area Chamber of Commerce, and Dan Crowe, executive director of the Yelm Business Association. Sharp gave a high-energy presentation emphasizing that “it’s all about the experience.” He said Yelm is seen through the eyes of visitors and that for the city and individual businesses, you only get one chance to make that first impression. Sharp said the physical appearance of the city and individual businesses is critical. Sharp said visitors should want to stop at area businesses and amenities, as well as make a return visit.

Sharp said Yelm has the ingredients to be a thriving city that invites new businesses and customers, adding Yelm is the fastest growing city in Thurston County. Both Cochrane and Crowe agreed the YBA and the Chamber, by working together, have before them a great opportunity to help create a positive business climate and healthy Yelm economy, where Yelm is perceived as a desirable destination and not just a “drive through” experience. “I think it’s important that tourism and attraction of people to our area is a regional priority and that we work in concert with other organizations here in Thurston as well as Pierce and Lewis counties,” Cochrane said.

Yelm Chamber Hosts After Hours Networking Event The Yelm Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and the general public to an after hours networking event 4-6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29 at its offices located next to Casa Mia, 138 Prairie Park Lane. This monthly mixer (the last Thursday of each month) is an opportunity to visit with other business owners and community leaders, and also to meet new Executive Director Casey Cochrane.

little to do with the youth program and parental support. Lest you think Strand is all smiles and hugs, he has an aggressive side, a proud warrior spirit who honors his opponent. He does not believe in playing not to lose (Green Bay, can you hear me?), of stalling for a points win instead of a pin. Yelm Athletic Director Ron Barnard said Strand does it all within a frame of being positive and productive. If I was a parent of a young boy or girl in the Yelm school system, I would seriously consider pushing them into the wrestling program. Growing up, I played basketball, and thought wrestling was, well, weird. Sweating all over each other, starving to hit weight and perhaps the hardest practices of any prep sport wasn’t appealing. That said, I do remember tough football practices in junior high where the coach would step on our stomachs during sit ups and run us to near death. This same coach also had us running the lines in basketball with an intense full-court

defense. I’m nostalgic for those days in the gym and on the field. I learned some strong lessons on my way to being a man that stay with me today. It’s the little things that build to excellence. We taped our socks up with masking tape. Our hair couldn’t hit our shoulders (in 1975). We played for each other. I’m sure no seventh-grade basketball team at the time worked harder or was in better shape physically and mentally. In seventh grade, we were undefeated. I would have loved to wrestle for a coach like Strand. The quote by Strand in today’s story is compelling: “When you see a kid come in and turn into a man and enjoy the program, you give them everything you would give your own son, and you hope they come away with the values that you would teach your own son.” I encourage you to consider taking in the match next Thursday night. At some point, Strand will retire. This week you still have the opportunity to watch a legend in action.

First and foremost safety and security upgrades are due in all our schools. Second, we are in need of adequate space for classrooms, cafeterias and gyms to house the current number of students attending Yelm schools. Third, renovation or rebuilding is needed in our oldest schools. Continued repairs of old systems is costly and not always the healthiest choice for students and staff. Proposition 1 on the February 10, 2015, ballot is a great use of local dollars and optimizes state matching money available to us. For the local cost of $53.9 million and state matching dollars of $36 million, we will get a total project worth $90 million. To get over a third of our project paid for by timber money is outstanding. We are growing and we will continue to do so because others come to Yelm to raise their families. In addition to the wonderful folks who live here, Yelm has the

greatest teachers and other support staff, programs and cared for facilities where our students flourish. Let’s continue to be known by the schools that we keep. Please vote yes February 10.

Thurston County Woman Sentenced to 18 Months for Arson Test Revealed Amphetamine, Methamphetamine in Suspect’s Bloodstream BY STEVEN WYBLE swyble@yelmonline.com

A Thurston County woman was sentenced to 18 months after pleading guilty to charges of arson and eluding police stemming from two separate incidents in June. Rebecca Ybarra, who is homeless according to court documents, was charged with eluding police after a June 1, 2014 incident, and first-degree arson after a June 28, 2014 incident. Around 1 a.m. June 1, a Yelm Police Officer spotted Ybarra accelerating quickly on First Street South heading northbound, ac-

cording to court documents. The officer estimated Ybarra was driving 50 mph in a clearly marked 25 mph zone. When the officer activated his lights and sirens, Ybarra reportedly accelerated and continued northbound on NP Road. Ybarra reportedly ran a stop sign and turned left onto Canal Road, causing her vehicle to slide, striking the curb on the east side of the road. She reportedly overcorrected and drove across both lanes into an embankment. She got back on the road and continued northbound on Wilkensen Road Southeast, according to court documents. As Ybarra approached 92nd Avenue Southeast, she reportedly made a hard right turn onto the road, over the curb, and across a lawn. She reportedly struck a parked vehicle hard enough to cause it to collide with three other vehicles parked in the driveway. When the officer approached the vehicle, which was still running, he told Ybarra to unlock

the car door and exit the vehicle. When she reportedly didn’t comply, he broke a window with his baton and pulled her out of the vehicle. She was placed in restraints and allegedly stated, “I never get this drunk.” The officer reportedly smelled intoxicants “on or about” Ybarra’s person. “All of her actions appeared to be slowed and he observed that her eyes were bloodshot,” court documents state. “Aid arrived and transported Ybarra to the hospital for possible injuries.” Ybarra’s BAC was .12, over the legal limit of .08. Her blood test also showed .09 mg/L of amphetamine and .34 mg/L of methamphetamine. Ybarra had another run-in with the law on June 28. At approximately 4:45 a.m., a Yelm Police Officer was dispatched to a theft call in the 100 block of Mountain View Road Northwest. A man reported he’d just chased

a woman — later identified as Ybarra — off his property who was allegedly trying to steal scrap metal. As she fled, she reportedly stole a children’s BMX bike from the man’s neighbor. The officer spotted Ybarra riding a “very small” bike. As he approached her, she turned into a driveway in the 800 block of Crystal Springs Northwest. The officer reportedly knew who lived there and that it was not Ybarra’s residence. He pulled into the driveway and told Ybarra to stop. He detained her and frisked her for weapons, finding a folding knife. He told her why he’d detained her and asked if she’d taken the bike. She told the officer she did steal the bike, but that it was her friend’s kid’s bike. When the officer asked what Ybarra was doing with the child’s bike, she said she was in a trailer with three rooms on either side and that people in the exterior rooms were making her nervous, so she was trying to escape, ac-

cording to court documents. She reportedly told the officer that in order to escape the trailer, she “had to throw a heater through a window” and steal the bike to leave. She stated she was not kidnapped or held against her will. Shortly thereafter, a call came in that a camper trailer was fully engulfed in flames. When the officer asked Ybarra where she had come from, she was reportedly unable to give him a street name or a description of where she’d been. While speaking with Ybarra, the officer came to believe she was “high on some type of stimulant narcotic,” according to court documents. She told the officer she was not high, but admitted to starting the fire in the trailer, court documents state. She reportedly could not tell the officer where the trailer was or the name of her friend. The officer contacted the owners of the trailer, who stated they did not know Ybarra.

Yelm Man Sentenced for Driving Car Into Sheriff Patrol Vehicle Incident Included Deputy Firing Three Rounds at Suspect BY STEVEN WYBLE swyble@yelmonline.com

A Yelm man was convicted of second-degree assault after he allegedly intentionally drove his car into a Thurston County Sheriff’s patrol car. Richard Paz was sentenced to 17 months in jail stemming from the June 28 incident. A Nisqually Police Department officer on patrol around state Route 510 near the old Nisqually Tribal Jail reportedly observed a vehicle — an orange 2000 Plym-

outh — drive through the parking lot, over grass and onto the highway, where it drove westbound and out of sight. The driver of the vehicle was later identified as Paz. The officer tried to locate the vehicle, and drove southbound on Reservation Road when he was reportedly forced off the roadway by the vehicle, which was traveling northbound in the southbound lane. The officer avoided a collision, turned around and stopped his vehicle, according to court documents. The officer stopped Paz, and he pulled over to the side of the road, but then fled northbound on Reservation Road. Two Nisqually officers pursued Paz with their lights and sirens activated, court documents

state. Paz reportedly reached speeds of 85-90 mph on Reservation Road. He reportedly slowed to about 50 mph in the 1600 block of Reservation Road and began driving in the oncoming lane. Around the 1200 block, he attempted to make a U-turn, but one of the officers used his patrol vehicle to block his path. The officer exited his vehicle and approached Paz, but he backed his vehicle up, maneuvered around the patrol vehicle and fled southbound on Reservation Road, according to court documents. A Thurston County Sheriff’s Office deputy was in the area assisting the Nisqually officers. As Paz fled southbound on Reserva-

tion Road, he reportedly drove into the oncoming northbound lane, which was occupied by the deputy’s vehicle. Paz continued driving in the wrong lane toward the deputy. The deputy reportedly attempted to pull his vehicle to the shoulder, but Paz reportedly crashed headon into him, deploying the deputy’s airbags and causing burns to his arms. Paz’s vehicle spun into the ditch and ended up facing outward toward the roadway, pointed toward the deputy’s vehicle. The deputy got out of his car, moved to the passenger side and gave Paz commands to stop. One of the Nisqually officers arrived on foot and also commanded him to stop. Paz allegedly failed to comply

with the verbal commands and drove toward the officers, again striking the deputy’s patrol vehicle. The deputy and officer continued giving commands, but Paz reportedly continued to resist, backed up his vehicle, revved the motor and drove toward the officers “in what was perceived to be a deliberate attempt to run them over.” The deputy fired three rounds from his pistol through Paz’s windshield, court documents state; at least one of the rounds struck Paz’s arm. His vehicle came to a stop and he was removed and placed in handcuffs. Paz was later transported to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia for treatment of his gunshot wound.

YELM POLICE Vehicle Stolen Yelm officers responded around 8 a.m. Jan. 12 to a report of an automobile theft in the 16600 block of 91st Avenue Southeast in Yelm. The owner of the vehicle told police the stolen 1998 Acura Integra was parked near his residence with the windows and doors locked. Later that day, the vehicle was located by a Thurston County Sheriff’s Deputy abandoned in the area of Nisqually Park Drive and Gardner Court. The owner reportedly took ownership of the vehicle; it was not damaged during the theft. Middle Schoolers Arrested for Marijuana Possession Officers responded around 8 a.m. Jan. 12 to a narcotics violation at Yelm Middle School. School officials reportedly located two students who smoked marijuana in a restroom using school surveillance cameras. Yelm officers responded and arrested two boys for possession of marijuana, as both students had small amounts of marijuana in their backpacks.

Oregon Ducks Loss Reportedly Leads to Assault Officers responded around 10 p.m. Jan. 12 to a report of an assault in the 14900 block of Prairie Vista Loop Southeast. Andrew J. Baumgardner, 25, reportedly damaged his home due to “a high level of intoxication in conjunction with an Oregon Ducks loss.” Baumgardner was reportedly transported to the hospital for his injuries. While enroute to the hospital, he reportedly became combative with medical staff and assaulted one of them. Officers responded to the medical unit and transported Baumgardner directly to Thurston County Jail, where he was booked on multiple counts of assault. Criminal Trespass Officers responded around 7:20 p.m. Jan. 14 to a report of a trespass in the 800 block of Yelm Avenue West. The suspect, identified as Elizabeth J.A. Lovato, 30, allegedly entered a residence she’d already been trespassed from. An investigation revealed Lovato was likely staying

inside the residence unlawfully for a period of time. Vehicle Prowl Officers responded around 8 p.m. Jan. 14 to a report of a vehicle prowl and theft in the 15300 block of Berry Valley Drive Southeast in Yelm. The victim told police she was at a friend’s house and left her vehicle unlocked in the driveway. When she was leaving, she noticed items in her glove box has been removed, including her registration and insurance card. Driving Under the Influence Officers conducted a traffic stop around 9:42 p.m. Jan. 15 on a recklessly driven vehicle in the 200 block of Yelm Avenue West. Several citizens reportedly called in to report reckless driving on the suspect vehicle before the officer made the stop. An investigation reportedly showed Maria Polvos Chavez was under the influence of alcohol while operating her vehicle. Chavez was cited for DUI and reckless endangerment, as her young daughter was in the vehicle with her. Her daughter was reportedly picked up by a family member.

WA Lawmakers Debate Undercover Farm Video Bill Forceful Opposition: JT Wilcox Removes Name From House Bill Co-Sponsorship

OLYMPIA (AP) — Washington state became the latest battleground in the fight over whether to outlaw the unauthorized recording of farm practices after a bill drew wide-ranging criticism in front of a House committee Tuesday. Rep. Joe Schmick, a Colfax

Republican, said the measure was necessary to prevent animal rights activists from distorting footage of legitimate farm work to “look like the absolute worst thing ever.” “Every farmer — and I’m speaking as a farmer — is scared to death of misrepresentation when we’re doing everything right,” Schmick said. A series of opponents, including labor organizers and animal rights advocates, urged the House Public Safety Committee to kill the bill, saying “ag-gag” measures chill free speech, cover up abuse and deter whistleblowers. “This bill is incredibly bad policy, and it really does not protect farmers,” said Matthew

Dominguez, a public policy manager with the Humane Society of the United States. “It only protects bad actors.” The proposal JT Wilcox would make it a crime to interfere with agricultural production and would extend “a lot of the same protections you would have in your home” to the state’s farmers and ranchers, Schmick said. The measure was patterned after an Idaho bill that passed last year. Several other states have enacted similar laws and debated the issue in recent years. Idaho and Utah are involved in

protracted legal fights over their legislation. The opposition was forceful in pushing back, and it’s not likely that the bill will advance, Public Safety chairman Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, said. “After hearing the testimony and discussing it with my colleagues, it’s pretty clear that the bill can’t move any further.” If the committee fails to advance the bill, it could be revived through legislative maneuvering. But it faces several hurdles before it could become law. Claire Tonry, a Seattle environmental lawyer, called the Washington bill “absolutely antithetical to public safety and public health.” She said cases of

animal abuse and environmental damage would go undetected if it passes. “The chilling effect that this legislation would have on my clients really can’t be overstated,” said Tonry, who represents the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance and the Washington Environmental Council. After the hearing, House Republican Floor Leader JT Wilcox, R-Yelm, whose family operates Wilcox Family Farms, said he had removed his name from co-sponsorship of the bill. He said he doubted the measure would advance very far. “It seemed to me the reception was not strong, was not favorable in committee,” Wilcox said. “But we’ll see.”

taxes. But licensed pot businesses say those taxes are so burdensome that they can’t compete with untaxed or lesser-taxed black market or medical marijuana sales. State Sen. Brian Hatfield, a Democrat from Raymond, is expected to file a bill Thursday to change the tax structure to one 37 percent excise tax levied at the point of sale. That amount would drop to 30 percent in mid-2017 and 25 percent in mid-2019. Hatfield’s co-sponsor on the measure is leading Republican Ann Rivers of La Center, who has already introduced a bill to overhaul medical marijuana in Washington state.

old among the 45 states that have laws to make repeat DUI offenders felons, said the bill’s author, Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley. Padden first proposed the idea last year but said that bill failed because of concerns over the expense of imprisoning more drunken drivers for felony convictions. He said Wednesday he believes this year’s bill has a better chance because a handful of Senate Democrats have signed on as co-sponsors. The measure also has support from Padden’s Republican colleagues. “I think it’s a matter of priorities,” Padden said. “... We may need another prison, or to put one that we have in mothballs into operation.” He said several victims of car crashes caused by repeat DUI offenders are scheduled to speak at a public hearing Thursday. Senate Bill 5105 will be before the Senate Law and Justice Committee, of which Padden is the chairman. Capitol lawmakers have contemplated lowering Washington’s threshold for felony DUI from the fifth offense to the fourth offense since 2013, upon the recommendation of a work group created by Gov. Jay Inslee to toughen impaired-driving laws after a series of fatal wrecks. can get our mission on.’” Foster served in the Marine Corps for five years, he said. “The thing I’d like the ... listening panel to keep in mind is that as you’re being asked to draw down now, so shall you in the future be asked to regenerate,” he said. “And where better a place to get those troops than here in the Northwest, where we’ve created this community that supports what the Army does? When the time comes — and it will — we’ll be here. We’re your extended family and we want to thank you for helping develop that strong relationship between our communities and your mission. I don’t think you’ll find a stronger base from which to engage our future challenges.”

Lawmakers Want to Limit Ballot Measures Without Funding Plan OLYMPIA (AP) — Nearly 40 senators are supporting a proposed constitutional amendment that would prevent budget-busting ballot initiatives from being filed unless supporters also include a way to pay for it. Sen. Joe Fain, a Republican from Auburn, says that under the proposed measure he introduced Tuesday, supporters of initiatives that would eliminate specific taxes also wouldn’t be allowed to collect signatures if the measure doesn’t specify which state programs would be removed or cut. Senate Joint Resolution 8201, which has a long list of bipartisan co-sponsors, would apply to all initiatives whose costs were determined to fall outside of the state’s four-year balanced budget requirement. The measure directs the secretary of state, under advice of the attorney general, to determine whether proposed initiatives exceed that budget requirement.

Extra Teeth?

While peering into their youngsters’ mouths, some parents may be convinced that their children are sprouting an extra set of teeth. Although the “extra row” of upper/lower teeth usually turns out to be permanent teeth erupting behind the baby teeth, there are cases in which patients will have extra (“supernumerary”) teeth erupt. These unusual teeth are typically located in the middle of the upper jaw near the nasal area. Treatment is straightforward in cases where the root of the extra tooth is small. The patient can be referred to an oral surgeon, who can simply extract the extra tooth. The other place where extra teeth are typically found is in the area of the third molars. P.S. After maxillary incisors, maxillary and mandibular (lower arch) fourth molars are the next most common supernumerary teeth. We invite you to come see us for all of your dental needs. Good experience with dentistry is based on making the right choice in a family dentist. At TODAY’S DENTAL CENTER, we strive to teach good oral hygiene so that you will have better dental health and, of course, spend far fewer dollars.

we have.” Thurston County Commissioner Sandra Romero praised JBLM, calling the base a good neighbor for Thurston County. “We really don’t want to lose any of you,” she said. Compared with other counties in Washington, Thurston County has the seventh largest number of veterans, Romero said. “Many of them come to JBLM — many people come to JBLM — and they stay here, and so we have a robust … program for veterans in Thurston County, and that’s because 40 percent of all people that come to Washington state stay in Washington state. So with that, I just wanted to stress that JBLM is a good neighbor, we have a great partnership, and we would really suffer economically

if the drawdown occurs.” Thurston County Commissioners Cathy Wolfe and Bud Blake also attended. Yelm Mayor Ron Harding praised the relationship between the city and the base. Yelm, a city with just under 9,000 residents, shares a border to the south with JBLM, he said. About one in eight residents are active-duty members of the military, he said. “We have worked really hard in the city of Yelm to create a quality of life that has been replicated not only in Yelm, but in Thurston County and around the state,” Harding said. “And that quality of life is what attracts a lot of folks who are activeduty military to request Joint Base Lewis-McChord. So what

I would just ask is, do not deny those active-duty families the opportunity to live in a state that has the quality of life that we provide.” Harding passed the mic to Yelm City Councilor JW Foster. Foster said he grew up in a small town in Rhode Island that was near Quonset Point Naval Air Station. “When it closed, our town had the impacts that our communities here are likely to suffer as well from that closure,” he said. “We got over it. And then later on, when I decided to join the service myself ...

Bill Would Make Fourth-Offense DUI a Felony OLYMPIA, (AP) — Washington state lawmakers are revisiting an idea to make a driver’s fourth drunken-driving conviction within 10 years a felony.

lawmakers from the state House and Senate announced bills that would move the state’s smoking age of 18 to 21, following the lead of several cities and counties nationwide. Possession of tobacco or e-cigarettes under 21 would be a civil offense. It would be a misdemeanor to sell or give tobacco to anyone under 21. Ferguson and other officials said they were inspired to change Washington’s smoking age after seeing the number of teenage smokers decline in cities that banned tobacco for those under 21. Similar bills failed in the last two years in Colorado, Utah and New Jersey.

Fain said that the passage of Initiative 1351 in November — a measure that would decrease class sizes and is projected to cost about $2 billion through the middle of 2017 — was a catalyst for many lawmakers. “The citizen initiative process in this state is sacred,” he said. “But 1351 provided a very highprofile example that it’s not working the way it’s intended to. This is a fix that will help the initiative process work better.” To pass a constitutional amendment, the Legislature must approve the measure by a twothirds majority and then it goes to the people for a simple majority vote.

The Thurston County HOME Consortium oversees the census and uses the data to help make recommendations for the county’s housing programs. pliance with city regulations. The city must conduct a review of the project’s environmental impacts, she said. “That will be the next step in the process and during the environmental review when we review impacts to land, air, traffic and all that, we can either issue a mitigated determination of nonsignificance (DNS), meaning that we conditioned the project so it meets any impacts, or we can just do a DNS if we feel that what

Ice Chips co-founders Beverly Vines-Haines, top left, and Charlotte Clary, speak to Rainier High School teacher Sandy Rossmaier’s senior English class on Tuesday, after they read the book “Two Grannies in a Garage” by Vines-Haines.

Ice Chips Co-founders Visit Rainier English Class Students Read Book About Business, Get to Ask Questions in Person BY JENNA LOUGHLIN jloughlin@yelmonline.com

ost students do not get the opportunity to ask questions about the books they read in school to the author in person, but that is exactly what happened to some lucky local seniors. Rainier High School teacher Sandy Rossmaier assigned “Two Grannies in a Garage” by Beverly Vines-Haines, one of the cofounders of Ice Chips Candy, to her senior English class in conjunction with Washington state’s new standards encouraging nonfiction reading. “We have had an awesome opportunity to incorporate local, small business to accomplish the reading goal — giving students a ‘hands on’ feel to reading,” Rossmaier said. In addition to reading the book, the class tried different flavors of Ice Chips throughout the second quarter. The students had questions about vocabulary, concepts and skills written about in the books, so Rossmaier decided to contact the Yelm author and entrepreneur, who had donated 35 copies of her 2013 book to the

RHS library, and see if she would be willing to talk to the class in person and answer questions. The result of the inquiry was both Vines-Haines and Charlotte Clary, the other co-founder of Ice Chips, visiting RHS last Tuesday. Even Rainier Superintendent Tim Garchow was in attendance for the unique opportunity. Interestingly, all of the senior’s questions were related to the pair’s line of herbal body care products, Healing Leaf LLC, that pre-dates Ice Chips and is how Vines-Haines and Clary first got into business together. Clary said they started the herbal line because they were tired of watching their families buying toxic products that did not work. “When we met, we shared this love for natural herbs,” Vines-Haines said. “We started experimenting with some salves. ... From there, we started just realizing you could make any medicine for anything, almost.” The two came up with their products from their own life experiences as well as from books and researching empirical information. In addition, Clary has a degree in natural health, including herbology.

Through experimentation, Clary noticed different herbs that worked for the same condition tended to be the same color. Over the years, Vines-Haines said the two had invented more than 100 items, and, though Ice Chips has understandably taken up much of their time lately, they are looking forward to relaunching and growing their Healing Leaf line.

We have had an awesome opportunity to incorporate local, small business to accomplish the reading goal — giving students a ‘hands on’ feel to reading. Sandy Rossmaier Rainier High School teacher

“We have a lot of things we still want to make,” she said. The two ladies shared their different styles of how they go about creating their products. Vines-Haines has a “less is more” approach while Clary said, “I throw the kitchen sink at it.” All of the ingredients in their body care products are natural, unlike many all natural claims made by products available in stores.

“We do not like chemicals added, we don’t like GMO food and we like to stay as natural as possible,” Vines-Haines said. She admits the two did not pay themselves for seven years while working on the body care products. What they did do was use the revenue from Healing Leaf to start Ice Chips. Now that investment will come back full circle as the revenue from Ice Chips will pay for the relaunch of Healing Leaf. “Ice Chips absolutely took us to the dance, but I still love this (Healing Leaf),” VinesHaines said. “This is where it’s fun.” While the manufacturing of Ice Chips may be moving to Tumwater, the two ladies said they will continue to create the Healing Leaf line at their current location in the unincorporated Thurston County area of Yelm. What they will have to compete against is deceptive and sneaky marketing by the major corporations. Both ladies stressed how important it is to read labels clearly, even if they claim to be all natural or pure. They recommended the Environmental Working Group’s website as a source of information since Vines-Haines said that after 26 seconds, a product put on the skin is in the bloodstream.

“That’s the thing with marketing and the day and age you guys live in, it’s very deceptive,” Clary said. “It’s not marketed to help your psoriasis, your dandruff, your zits or anything. It’s marketed to line somebody’s pockets somewhere else.” As an example, she asked to see the lip balm of one of the seniors in the class. Clary explained the butyl in the ingredient list actually dries out lips and skin so the person using it needs to apply more of the product. Another reason it is hard for truly natural products to compete with products made by the big companies is that the companies have patents on their ingredients while Healing Leaf cannot patent its ingredients like beeswax and menthol. Clary said how they started “flies in the face of what people are taught” because they were able to be successful without having to take out a business loan or even the deal offered by the “sharks” on the TV show “Shark Tank.” “That’s (taking out a big business loan to pay for an office and salary) where we see failure right and left because they’ll get all that before they’ve proved their product, before they’ve proved that anybody wants their product, before they have any sales,” she said

Thurston Energy Launches Efficiency Rebate Offer ColdCa$h for POW&R to Benefit Propane, Oil, Wood Heated Homes, Rentals BY NISQUALLY VALLEY NEWS

Thurston Energy has launched a new weatherization rebate, ColdCa$h for POW&R, designed specifically for homes and/or rentals heated with propane, oil or wood. This rebate can help property owners save on the cost of weatherization projects as well as the purchase and installation of ductless heat pump systems. In order to be eligible for this rebate, homes must be located in Thurston, Grays Harbor, Mason, Lewis or Pacific counties and be primarily heated by propane, oil or wood. “For the ColdCa$h for POW&R rebate program, we wanted to target homes heated with propane, oil or wood because these are homes that are not typically served by utility rebates. ... Oftentimes, these rebates can make the difference between a project moving forward or not,” Thurston Energy’s Energy Services Manager Mark Rentfrow said. “Likewise, we also wanted to include rental homes because while tenants are typically the ones paying for the utility, (they) do not have a choice on how to heat their home. An inefficient heating system can have an ad-

verse effect on a renter’s disposable income and ultimately their quality of life.” Two rebates are included in this promotion. One is a 40 percent rebate on the cost of weatherization improvement services and materials, up to a maximum rebate amount of $2,000. Qualifying measures to increase building envelope performance include: air sealing; insulation of attics, walls, floors and ducts; electrical wiring upgrades associated with insulation measures; whole house ventilation; and duct sealing. “Weatherization measures such as adding insulation and air sealing prevents airflow within a home,” Rentfrow said. “All homes are naturally ventilated, but by reducing the amount of natural ventilation and controlling it, a homeowner can dramatically reduce their utility expenses and improve the comfort of their homes.” The other is a rebate for the purchase and installation of a single-head ductless heat pump system with a limit of one rebate per house. Ductless systems use 25 to 50 percent less energy than zone systems, such as baseboard, wall and ceiling heat or electric forced-air furnaces. Homes heated with propane, fuel oil or wood are eligible for a $1,500 rebate, and rental homes heated with electricity are eligible for a $1,500 rebate. “A ductless heat pump heats a home’s main living areas by creating and distributing conditioned heat, like a standard furnace,” Rentfrow said. “(The difference) is that the heat comes from a single source rather than from a network of ducts and vents. It is also designed to run continuously

rather than in starts and stops like a standard furnace.” Customers should contact Thurston Energy at 360-528-2112 prior to making improvements in order to make arrangements for an initial energy evaluation, to connect with a pre-approved contractor and to assure that the project scope of work qualifies for rebates. Weatherization improvements must be completed between Jan. 1 and May 31, and funds are available for a limited time only. For more information about ColdCa$h for POW&R and to get

Do These Five Things for Your Garden This Winter The end of January and beginning of February means it’s time to dig in and start planning and planting. 1. Buy and plant bare root roses. Area nurseries have a great price on roses during the winter because they are sold “bare root” or without a pot and soil. This means they usually have their roots encased in a plastic bag with damp sawdust keeping the bare roots damp. Bare root roses this time of year are still dormant, so this also makes them easier to plant as they won’t suffer as much from the shock of transplanting. Bare root roses are much easier to load into the car and carry about the garden. This is the best time of year to find named varieties of hybrid tea roses like the disease resistance Peace rose, climbing roses like the classic New Dawn pink rose and hardy shrub, landscape and species roses such as the thorny but tough Rosa Rugosa. Planting Tip: Soak the bare roots overnight in a bucket of water. If you buy a boxed bare root rose, do not plant the cardboard box with the rose no matter what the package recommends. Our mild winter climate means the

2. Buy and plant bare root fruit trees and berries. Once again, winter is the best time to add bare root fruit trees because they are under the anesthetic of winter and won’t suffer from the transplant operation. If your New Year’s resolution is to become more self-sufficient by growing more food, make this the week you add a mini orchard to your property. Apple trees come in dwarf and semi-dwarf rootstocks and there is also a “Columnar” apple tree that bears fruit on the trunk or short spurs. This tree does not branch out. The “Columnar” apple tree needs

just 2 feet of room and can be grown in a half whiskey barrel. Raintree nursery of Morton Washington sells this super compact apple tree for under $30 and will ship it to your door. Go to www.raintreenursery.com. 3. Buy and plant bare root flowering shrubs. Old-fashioned favorites such as lilac, spiraea, forsythia and quince can be purchased bare root and a dozen of these blooming shrubs will take up less space in your car than a week’s worth of groceries. Use a mix of inexpensive bare root shrubs and a few evergreens to design a border of plant material along a property line or in front of a fence line to

The Territorial Legislative Building sometime between 1877-91.

As it turned out there was quite a bit of professional malfeasance at the state’s lock-ups. Subsequent investigations turned up prison supplies in the homes of penitentiary officials. In addition, hundreds of pounds of tobacco, and numerous bags of grain and oats were missing. A more careful inventory of the prisons documented that everything from pipes, tools and even machinery were mysteriously unaccounted for. Bills were introduced to investigate the situation. Yet, to the frustration of reformers like J.C., a bill attacking corruption was tabled, thus avoiding an up and down vote. Issues of crime and punishment have always been part of the legislative sphere whose legislative remedies reflect the public’s current thinking on the subject and constraints of government budgets. J.C. left no written record of his opinion on capital punishment, but there was a bill introduced that year abolishing the practice. It got nowhere. The Daily Olympian provided its editorial support for continuing the practice, arguing: “The fact is there are very few men who really need killing, and yet most men who are sentenced to our penitentiaries for twenty years or a lifetime would be better off dead and done with it. The hope of escape is about the only thing that makes the cell preferable to the rope.” Anticipating a steady growth in the state’s prison population, lawmakers introduced a series of bills to put the prisoners to work on state roads or making grain bags to sell to local farmers. Both measures met with a barrage of criticism that argued such steps would put the state in competition with free labor. The measures were set aside to have their cost effectiveness examined.

sion, the state of Washington still relied on extractive industries, products you could harvest, catch or remove, and not manufacturing. Not surprisingly a large number of bills introduced in the session were related to these activities. There were bills to protect one’s investment. Beekeepers wanted to reduce the poisoning of honeybees, while shepherds pushed for legislation to combat disease in sheep. Certain fishing interests attempted to legislate away their competition by forbidding certain types of fishing techniques from being used. Cognizant of fishery declines, another fish hatchery was proposed. Pacific County oyster farmers had their local representative propose a bill to help protect oyster beds. One legislator went to bat for his constituents by calling for a war against the squirrel. The business side of farming was attended to in other proposals. Farmers, tired of what they believed to be cheating on the part of the railroads and refiners, wanted a state grain inspector who would oversee the weighing Fixing the Schools of grain and stop the cheating Rep.

Legislators from The Changing Role of Eastern Washington disliked Government the travel required while others At the time of the 1897 ses-

were inspired by more pecuniary issues. Legislative sessions meant infusions of cash when the legislators were in town. A government with increasing numbers of agencies meant offices to be built and jobs in the bureaucracy. With each debate the faults of Olympia were detailed with glowing excess while places like Ellensburg or North Yakima were touted as being particularly wise choices. Inveterate Olympia booster John Miller Murphy always maintained that Ezra Meeker was the engine behind the effort to relocate the capital to Puyallup. While there might have been consensus on Olympia’s shortcomings, there was never broad agreement on where the new location should be. Even in this session the battle resumed. A proposal was made to set up a commission to examine options for locating the capital. Many in the legislature accepted the idea of a commission, but only if representatives from King, Pierce and Spokane counties were excluded in order to help some smaller town receive the honor and economic plum of being the seat of government. Naturally, as was so often the case with the Legislature, rumors abounded. One maintained that land somewhere between Tacoma and Seattle had already been purchased and its owners were attempting to guide the capital to their holdings. One opponent opposed to the move argued on constitutional grounds. Those with a historical frame of mind recalled that the issue of the relocation of the capital had already been voted on three times in the state with Olympia the winner each time. Enough was enough. The status quo prevailed.

Agility, the ability to move smartly and quickly, is one of the goals for the Army as it transitions into the future. It is also a driving force behind the reorganization of units across the force. At Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the 191st Infantry Brigade was officially inactivated and merged with the 189 Infantry Brigade during a Jan. 8 ceremony at Soldiers Field House. It was the first inactivation for 1st Army Division West as part of a multi-year plan, Operation Bold Shift, which rethinks the process of Reserve component training. “(By combining the two units), we’re making a more efficient training support organization for the change in approach under Operation Bold Shift. The change being that previously we were working with units here on JBLM, who were mobilized, during the last 100 yards of their training, and now we train with them prior to mobilization and get the true benefit of the Army Total Force Policy,” said Col. James W. Danna III, former commander of the 191st Infantry Brigade. The Army Total Force Policy was enacted in 2008 and enhanced the integration of the active duty force, the Army Reserve and the National Guard in order to achieve a higher standard of readiness across all components. Danna stated that this ensures combat experience and knowledge passes more evenly across the components and is simply a more efficient way to train. “(Operation Bold Shift) works hand-in-hand with a fiscally responsible Army because if we can keep the readiness of the Reserve component forces at a higher level, then we can (maintain) less force structure in the active force, which enables the Army to save money,” Danna said. Maj. Gen. Jeffrey N. Colt, the commanding general of 1st Army Division West, spoke at the event, saying agility is key to the Army’s continued success. “Our Army must constantly assess the strategic and operational

environments and make the adjustments, which are appropriate to its force design and structure in order to best address the security needs of the nation,” Colt said. Colt acknowledged that meeting this objective, while necessary, was somewhat bittersweet for the soldiers within the unit. It meant the end of a proud brigade lineage that dated back 93 years, during which the unit served in multiple wars and responsibilities, most recently tasked with the important duty of training thousands of Reserve soldiers prior to their combat missions. He credited the leadership for helping to make the transition successful and stated that the high standard of professionalism and experience within the brigade would transfer to the new unit and con-

saved (Matthew 7:13-14; 15ff). So, how does that work if God always forces His will? Bibles are chock full of great principles God wants us to follow. How many of us follow all the principles, perfectly? Answer: zero. None of us can be that perfect. That’s why we need a Savior. This is the fundamental basis for Christianity (John 3:16-17). God’s will is that we would follow his principles, but He doesn’t force us all to do His will. That’s where free will comes into play. We are not puppets under the control of some Grand Puppeteer. We all have choices we make, and we will be held accountable for those choices (Luke 6:4649). If God totally controlled everything we do, how could He be upset when someone deviates from His principles? Wouldn’t it

be His fault if He forced people to do everything they did, good or bad? Wouldn’t people also have a right to blame God for things that go wrong on this earth if God always forced His will on us? This is the problem with buying into the concept that God’s will always happens. It gives people this idea that it is God’s fault when someone is taken from us in some tragic accident or overwhelming sickness. God does not will evil to happen. People make choices because God has given them the free will to do so. Our actions come with consequences, good or bad. Do you always do the right thing, the thing God wants you to do? No? You sometimes displease God? Well, if God’s will always happens because He

forces it, wouldn’t it be His fault you erred? Don’t buy into the lies that God’s will always happens, or that if something happens it has to be because He made it happen. God is sovereign. He can do what He wants when He wants and how He wants. Yet, He chose to give us free will. Since none of us always do His will, His will does not always happen. “Focus on working on your own development and on what you teach,” according to 1 Timothy 4:16 (CEB). “If you do this, you will save yourself and those who hear you.” n Jeff Adams is pastor for Paramount Christian Church.

FROM THE HILLS

are three indicators. 1. Pride False teachers can be spotted by their arrogance. Every conversation, sermon and writing points one finger to God, and the remaining fingers at themselves. They want you to know how many years of experience they have, the challenges they have overcome, or the credentials they hold. Healthy leaders won’t tell you about their humility and expect to be admired for it. The truly humble don’t bring it up. They are focused on serving you, not impressing you. 2. Patience When I read Paul’s instruction to Timothy, I am sobered by the contrast between God’s standard for Christian leaders and the mediocrity for which we often settle. In 2 Timothy, Paul says, in part, “Convince, rebuke, exhort.” We are to speak the truth of the

gospel, address sin, correct error and be encouragers. That’s the “what.” Then he tells us how: “… with all long-suffering and teaching” (2 Tim 4:2). One definition for long-suffering is “complete patience.” I am concerned when I hear a Christian leader berate others. Ministry is not easy. Whether someone is a senior pastor, chaplain, missionary, makes the Sunday coffee or works in the nursery once a month, each job is equally important and can be equally frustrating. Armstrong wrote that we are to be “marked by self-control. One who doesn’t blow his top every time he gets frustrated, who isn’t a bully in the pulpit. Who doesn’t wield his authority as a weapon, haphazardly declaring men and women to be goats or swine.” 3. Integrity

OBITUARY

It is with great sadness that I report Chris has passed away. She was born on Aug. 20, 1941, in Portland, Oregon and died on Tuesday morning, Jan. 13, 2015 at Madigan Army Hospital, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. She retired as a Sergeant Major, after serving 30 years in the U.S. Army, and has been residing in Roy, Washington since 1989. Chris is survived by her spouse, Cathleen M. Hennie; her sister, Lennie M. Hartley; and

Is there a consistent discrepancy between teaching and doing? Does your leader preach peace and live conflict? Do they talk about joy but exhibit negativity? Write about kindness, gentleness and mercy, yet lead from an unapproachable position of authority? Because false teachers see themselves through their own reflection, they rarely see their teaching as false. That’s why those who are called to lead need periodic evaluation. It’s how we mature So if you cower at the thought of talking to your pastor about these indicators, cut out this column and mail it to him or her. The Holy Spirit will take it from there.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK According to the Thurston County Economic Development Council, Yelm is the fastest growing city in Thurston County, and it estimates a 40 percent population increase (170,000 people) over the next 20 years, added to the roughly 252,000 people already in the county. As the city has grown, what is the biggest difference in Yelm you’ve noticed throughout the past 5-10 years?

“A growth boom would be fantastic for community health and pride, with a greater chance for multicultural balance and exposure. However, I tend to ‘worry’ about space (as well as property costs/taxes/ availability) being walled in by Joint Base LewisMcChord, Rainier, and the reservation. It seems as though Yelm can only grow out so far. Even though satellite imaging shows adequate space, it’s still mind-boggling to think of an actual 40 percent increase to the present 250,000.”

Nisqually Valley News • Friday, January 23, 2015

Tyler Huey / Nisqually Valley News

Yelm senior Darren Harris, top, takes on teammate Jacob Rash during Tuesday’s practice. Harris, who pinned his 100th in-season high school opponent last week, plans to break the Washington state four-year pin record by season’s end. Along with setting a new pin record, he will vie to be a three-time state champion next month at the Mat Classic in Tacoma.

Leaving a Legacy

Strand Wins His 300th Match; Harris Eyes State Pin Record BY TYLER HUEY thuey@yelmonline.com

“It’s a community effort. It starts with the youth group and we’ve got a lot of parents in the community that contribute to helping out with that youth program,” he said. “It just keeps growing, and from there if you don’t have that base to start with, you’re not going to be successful in high school. … I’ve got some good coaching and I’ve been blessed with some good athletes, but most of all it’s the parent involvement in the community.” These numbers will soon grow, but as of now Strand’s tenure has led to 85 state placers, 15 state champions (some are multiple winners) and 11 academic state champions. His coaching style is based off collegiate success, which involves good hand control, at least two good takedowns, be good on your feet and always go for the pin. In general, he wants his wrestlers to be aggressive. “It’s all about respecting your competition,” Strand said. “You bring it to the mat and you give them the best you have, and you hope they give you the best. If you pin them quick, that’s great. But if you run or you stall, that’s not giving your opponent or yourself any honor.”

he way Yelm coach Gaylord Strand and senior Darren Harris are going, their respective school records may never be broken. With the wrestling state tournament one month away, they both reached milestones in last week’s 63-9 win against Timberline. Strand won his 300th match, and Harris (132 pounds) pinned his 100th in-season high school opponent. “I don’t know if it has really hit me,” said Strand, who’s coaching his 41st year at Yelm. “I was looking at my stats at the beginning of the year and I realized it was going to happen this year, but I didn’t know when (so) I kept it quiet. When I found out that Darren had just pinned his 100th kid in high school, I shook his hand and congratulated him, thanked him for what he had done. Sharing with him my 300th win was a special time, especially with his 100th pin.” Strand might be known throughout the state as a great coach, but he isn’t one to toot his own horn. What’s the main reason for Yelm’s success these past four HONOR IS one reason Strand decades? Well, it’s not the head respects Harris so much. Harris coach, according to Strand. gives it his all every match and

tries to finish each opponent. Last week against Timberline, Harris said he led 13-1 and was about to win by technical fall, “so I just did a three-quarter, and because I know if I get a big one on someone it’s going to stick them, and they’re not going to get out of it if I get it.” Harris got his 99th pin at the PacCoast Championships, but could not compete at the Jan. 9-10 Gut Check Challenge due to having the flu. Now with 100 pins in the bag and many more matches to come, he has his eyes set on a Washington state pin record. “Now I realize that the high school state record for four years is only 107 pins, so now I kind have a new goal,” Harris said. “It would feel great (to break 107), because

If You Want to Go:

Yelm wrestling will attempt to win the Narrows 4A League title Thursday, Jan. 29 against South Kitsap. The Tornados host the dual, and varsity matches should start around 7 p.m. Yelm defeated South Kitsap two years ago, but lost a close dual last season on the road. Coach Gaylord Strand said South Kitsap has good heavyweights and are in a rebuilding mode with middleweights. “But we’re ready to take it back again,” Strand said. “We want that league championship.” also knowing I set my school record it just means I accomplished so much more that no one else has. It would make me feel a lot better.” Harris, whose career record is 115-7, had missed up to 10 matches this season, thus having the state pin record right now would have been possible.

“I would already have it so now it’s going to be a little tougher, but there’s plenty of matches to get it,” he said. Missing all those matches has been frustrating, and he felt “like I was dying out there” during practice while battling the flu.

Rainier Tourney Honors Fallen Soldier BY TYLER HUEY thuey@yelmonline.com

Although Rainier wrestling had its ups and downs last weekend, there was something more important than just the standings. For more than five years, the Sgt. Justin Norton Memorial has drawn a large wrestling field to Rainier High School. The tournament, which started in 1987 as the Mountaineer Classic, was renamed in 2009 to honor Norton, coach Chris Holterman said. Norton, a 2003 Rainier graduate, died in combat at age 21.

“As the years pass by, there are less and less people in our school that knew Justin, but for those who did, it is a great honor to pay tribute to him through this tournament,” Holterman said. “The medals all have his portrait on them and several of the kids on various teams commented that this is the coolest medal they’ve ever won. It is extra special that Justin’s family is here to present the medals.” Rainier’s 74.5 points placed ninth out of 35 combined varsity and junior varsity teams, including five placers: junior Israel Elwell (126 pounds) took second; fresh-

man Ian Russell (195) tied for third; junior Michael Jackson (145), and sophomores Brayden Lasher (160) and Steven Roberts (170) tied for fifth. “As a whole, I felt like we improved in some areas but fell short on others,” Holterman said. “I did not get to watch all of the wrestling as I was running around doing tournament things, but I did see some great steps forward and a couple steps back. Wrestling at home is always a challenge for some as their friends and family are there watch-

LEGACY:

Continued from page C1 In addition, he “messed up” his thumb about month and half ago. He is taping the injury now, and the pins keep coming so it’s not a big deal, he said. Strand understands that breaking the state pin record is possible; Harris believes it’s only a matter of

time. That killer instinct is something he has grown into. “You can beat a kid by points or whatever and it’s a close match, and there’s also times where you can just catch a kid and pin him. … But when you’re just out there, winning by a lot and then you pin them, it just shows you totally dominated the match,” Harris said. “It just feels great, honestly. You just know you went out there with

long, recent list of examples who prove the possibilities can come to fruition. “It’s important because it gives you exposure to Parker McFadden the best teams in the nation,” Bensen said of hopefully following in McFadden’s footsteps of playing for an upper-level university. “I’ve been playing college-level ball a long time, and the D-I guys are special. Mixing your talent with those kind of guys is a blessing. They’re for real and I feel like I can play on that level. With this opportunity, it’s just a stepping stone to get you better and prepared.” Bensen and McFadden are doing what I wanted to do at that age. You know, play baseball beyond high school, have part of your schooling paid for by playing a game, and, heck, in a dream world scenario get drafted by a major league team. That fantasy was always just that for a then-high schooler like me, one who lacked the dedication it took to develop into a really good player. I liked baseball, but didn’t love it enough to not be lazy in the offseason. It’s possible that my talent wouldn’t have advanced regardless of the effort put forth, but one never

knows without trying. The Yelm seniors both spoke of the work they’ve put in through the years. Baseball is primarily played in the fall and spring, but to be a standout player, one must practice year-round. Whether it be pitching, fielding, hitting or lifting weights, if you’re not doing everything possible to improve, skills stay stagnant or decline while the competition is passing you by. As for Bensen and McFadden, these two continually progress as their abilities impress those around them. One thing I appreciate is the seriousness they have. Baseball is a game, but it’s much more to them. McFadden said he loves the “competitiveness, shutting people down, making them look silly.” Bensen had a little more

to say. “It’s the biggest team sport that you’re lonely on,” the lefthander said. “There’s nine players on the field but you’re alone. If you think about it, you’re making that play by yourself. “I’m a pitcher so the loneliest spot is the mound and whatever happens after my pitch dictates the game, and I like that control. I like thinking that I’m better than the guy at the plate.” College seems to get more expensive every year, thus being able to pay for a large portion in this manner is fantastic. Bensen wants to pursue a business marketing degree, and McFadden plans to study criminal justice. The odds are against them throwing a ball for a living, yet baseball will open doors for their future professions.

a goal and you did it.” Strand couldn’t have predicted a future pin record years ago, but remembers that Harris’ older brother, Dillon, kept saying Darren was better than him. “One hundred pins is pretty impressive,” said the 2009 Washington State Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame inductee. “He’s something special. Not too many coaches get a chance to

coach someone with that caliber of wrestling. … Dillon wasn’t too bad of a wrestler himself, but Darren has proven to be a better wrestler, and sure enough he is better than Dillon.” And to be frank, Harris would have one more pin to his record if his opponent in last year’s 120-pound state final “would have given him honor instead of running,” Strand said.

with, they keep me young,” he said of the wrestlers. “When you see a kid come in and turn into a man and enjoy the program, you give them everything you would give your own son, and you hope they come away with the values that you would teach your own son. Most of the time you’re lucky and it happens, but sometimes it doesn’t.” Yelm District Athletic Director Ron Barnard is proud of them both. He has known Strand for 16 years, describing him as a “class act” who “brings out the best in his athletes in a positive, productive atmosphere.” “I am very proud of Gaylord’s achievement,” Barnard said. “This is a great accomplishment for any coach. He has worked hard with our youth throughout his 40 years at Yelm High School, and it shows in the number and caliber of athletes that turn out every year.” It just so happens that a young man Strand has coached the past four years may be the best wrestler he’s ever had. “Darren also has shown his focus and dedication to a high standard,” Barnard said. “This has allowed him to reach a milestone in his young career as an elite athlete in Washington state. I look forward to watching him in postseason at Mat Classic.” Harris is leaving a legacy, but as Strand might say, the potential three-time state champ is one of his hundreds of brothers.

WHAT MAKES this duo so good at what they do? Talent is a prevailing factor, but dedication and love for the sport also plays a big role. When it comes to Harris, Strand said he has some unorthodox moves that make him dangerous, as well as being quick with really good balance. Harris said his coach emphasizes great conditioning, focus and never giving up on a match. Strand cannot get enough of the wrestling brotherhood. In his time at Yelm, he began teaching half-time physical education; the other half was biology, anatomy and physiology classes, plus one kinesiology. While coaching wrestling is also part-time, it provides much more. When the Timberline dual ended, Harris and other captains gathered up their teammates and went into the locker room. As Strand eventually stepped in, he received a round of applause. “They’re fun to goof around

Continued from page C1 ing, many for the first time during the season and it puts some added pressure on them. Some handled it well, others did not. But from what I saw, I thought kids did a good job.” Elwell provided Rainier’s best outing, pinning his way to the finals before getting pinned himself. That is how Holterman expected Elwell to handle himself. He struggled in the championship round due to his opponent’s length, which made it difficult to score points. “He is aggressive, motivated (and) goal orientated. He has good takedowns and he is relentless in the top position,” Holterman said. “Israel’s focus is on (the) postseason and everything until then is just practice. He uses each match as a learning opportunity. Win or lose, he is looking at things he did well and things he can improve on. I don’t think he’s ever 100 percent satisfied with a match because he knows he can always get better.” Another grappler, junior Keanna Vermillion, went 1-2 and did

not place. Vermillion, however, is a female who wanted to test herself against the opposite sex in preparation for the postseason. She pinned her second opponent. “At Keanna’s weight, the difference in muscle mass can be a huge factor,” Holterman said. “If boys and girls were 100 percent equal at everything then WIAA wouldn’t have boys and girls teams. … This is only the second time she’s wrestled boys as we are trying to get her to more girl events, but this being our home tournament, she really wanted to participate in it.” Vermillion said she was happy with getting a pin, but acknowledged she must work on other moves beside the head and arm. On the other hand, since she knows the Norton family, competing in honor of Justin might be her greatest accomplishment. “To me it’s almost an honor not only because I knew his family personally, but just to know that we have a tournament specifically for him and something he liked to do,” she said. “He was also a wrestler, so doing something he liked to do in honor of him, it’s an honor to do it.”

WNPA STATEWIDE CLASSIFIEDS – WEEK OF JANUARY 19, 2015 This newspaper participates in a statewide classified ad program sponsored 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 submitted 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 number, 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.
