Davison Acted With ‘Criminal Negligence’ By Dameon Pesanti [email protected] The Mineral man jailed last October for allegedly shaking his ex-girlfriend’s 4-month-old baby was sentenced in Lewis County District Court Friday. Kyle J. Davison, 23, was sentenced to 36 months of in- carceration with credit for 441 days already served. He also will have to pay $500 for victim assessment fees, $200 criminal filing fees, sheriff's service fees of $1,561, $1,000 for other fines or costs from the Lewis County Jail, and as of yet undetermined court fees. The baby had sustained inju- ries consistent with shaken baby syndrome, according to charg- ing documents. Most of the benches in the courtroom gallery were full of people, many of whom were teary eyed and sniffling. “I don’t think there’s anybody in the courtroom that doesn’t wish the clock could be turned back, but that’s not an option,” said Judge James Lawler during sentencing. “There has to be re- sponsibility and accountability.” Lawler explained during sen- tencing that while he saw “no evidence of anger or malice,” Da- Pete Caster / [email protected] vison acted with “criminal negli- Kyle Davison looks over at Lewis County Deputy Prosecutor Will Halstead during a sentencing hearing in Lewis County Superior Court on Friday afternoon at the Lewis gence” when he overreacted and County Law and Justice Center in Chehalis.

The annual event, known as Business Week, gives students an accelerated crash course in busi- ness. The students have to come up with an original product or service, and later have to learn about production, marketing, sales, stock prices and profits, capping it off with a trade show where they find investors who are interested in their company. The goal of the program is to teach the up-and-coming gen- eration about the world of work, the workplace and the market- place, said Washington Business Week Executive Director Steve McGraw. “It’s very interactive, and very engaging,” he said. “Students re- ally enjoy the experience because their company succeeds or fails based on their choices, their de- Pete Caster / [email protected] cisions, where they want to go, Students look on as W.F.

Charter Get up to $200 back when you activate any new iPhone and iPad on a Shared School Placed Connect Plan. All on a network with national coverage where you need it most. on Probation OLYMPIA (AP) — Wash- ington's first charter school has been placed on probation for not meeting all the requirements of its charter. The Washington State Char- ter School Commission in- formed First Place Scholars in Seattle of a list of requirements it must fulfill. Problems identified at the school included not keep- ing the commission informed of school board actions, not prop- erly providing special education and not giving proof that every staff member had completed a criminal background check. Commission staff told school leaders they will be making fre- quent visits to First Place to make sure they are in compliance. The commission is in charge of approving and overseeing most of the state's charter schools. It has approved seven other char- ter schools, with six scheduled to open in fall 2015. Spokane Public Schools, which can authorize charter schools, has approved two more schools scheduled to open in 2015. Commission executive direc- tor Joshua Halsey said at a meet- ing on Thursday that the decision to put First Place on probation is step three in the commission's due process procedure. The school will remain on probation until it fulfills all the require- ments of the commission's cor- rective action plan, which will continue at least until the first month of the next school year. "I'm hopeful that First Place will fulfill their obligations," Halsey said, after reporting on a meeting with school leaders ear- lier in the week. Halsey described the action plan as being focused on moving forward. In a letter dated Tuesday to the school, the commission outlined the problems with the school's response to its concerns. "Most troubling, though, is that the school's proposed plan was almost entirely deficient," the letter states. The school did not address the commission's findings, there were inaccuracies in the school's proposal and the plan did not offer details about how the cor- rective action would be accom- plished, according to the letter. Voters in 2012 passed a char- ter school law focused on meet- ing the needs of at-risk children, with very specific requirements for proposals that get a charter.

For 23 people whose ashes were scattered Thursday in Puget Sound, their ending is all that's known. "We decided to finally put these people to rest," said Amber Larkins, operations manager for the Pierce County Medical Ex- aminer's Office. The cremated remains dumped into the water during the informal ceremony belonged to people whose families chose not to claim them or whose loved ones could not be located. None was believed to be a homicide victims - mostly they died of natural causes or from an accident or suicide. All but six had a name.

2A/1A Girls Basketball Thursday’s 2B Boys Basketball Defense Leads the Way in Bearcats’ Win Over Woodland

By The Chronicle WOODLAND — The of- fense was a bit on the slow side, but W.F. West’s defense more than made up for it here Friday in a 40-26 nonleague girls bas- ketball win over Woodland. Julie Spencer led W.F. West with 12 points and 15 rebounds, and the Bearcats led 19-11 at halftime while holding Wood- land to 9 of 51 shooting (18 per- cent) for the game. Bearcat center Tiana Parker finished with 8 points and 11 re- bounds but found herself in foul trouble and missed time in the first half. Still, the defense kept Woodland leading scorer Jessica Flanagan off the board entirely. “That was even with Tiana out of the game quite a bit,” Bearcat coach Henri Weeks said. “So I thought our defense was spec- tacular again tonight, and that’s really what made the difference.” Rylee Hanson and Taylen Pannette played well at guard off the bench, Weeks added, against a 1-3-1 defense the Bearcats were seeing for the first time.

MLB Selig to be Baseball’s Commissioner Emeritus After Retirement By Tom Haudricourt Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Bud Selig will be retiring as baseball commissioner in January after 22 years on the job but still will have a hand in the game. Major League Baseball Commissioner-Elect Rob Manfred announced Friday that Selig will be given the unprecedented title of Com- missioner Emeritus, effective Jan. 25, when he officially retires. As Commissioner Emeritus, Selig will be avail- able to advise Manfred when asked as well as assist with special projects under his successor. “Commissioner Selig has had an unparalleled career of decorated service to the Na- tional Pastime, and this role will allow the game to benefit from his unmatched insti- tutional knowledge, experi- ence and relationships,” said Brandon Hansen / [email protected] Manfred, who was elected to Adna’s Shanay Dotson drives to the hoop during Central 2B League girls basketball action against Morton-White Pass on the Pirates’ home court. a five-year term in August. “I could not ask for a finer men- first half and finished with 43 points to lead Toledo to a 54-31 Ilwaco Holiday Tournament on tor during this transition Girls free throw attempts. win over Winlock in Central 2B Dec. 29-30. process, and I am grateful Mossyrock pulled ahead with League girls basketball action that Commissioner Selig will Continued from Sports 1 four minutes left to play, but Pe here on Friday.

I soon spotted a low-lying, glow- ing cloud (from all of the LED lights) that pointed me to 173 Duane Lane. You see, when Greg was growing up, he watched the movie every Christmas Eve with his extended family. It took him a few years to convince his wife to allow him to wrap the house in lights. The outcome is marvelous and hysterical. The back of the two-story home is as decorated as the front. The couple say visitors are welcome to walk behind their house, but watch for stinky land mines courtesy of two large pets. Greg and Rachel threw a party when the display was of- ficially lit this year. Family and friends came to the lighting dressed as characters from the Chevy Chase hit. The lights will remain lit each day of the week from dusk to 11 p.m. While sightseers are not invited inside their home, the couple permitted me indoors to take a peek. In staying with the Gris- wold theme, there’s a decorated Christmas tree similar to that in the movie. On the floor, they re-created the outline of an elec- trocuted cat — the fur of which came from a kitty owned by one of Rachel’s family members (eww). The Osterlands are encour- aging spectators to donate to charity, a practice that’s becom- ing more popular in our area. All contributions collected at their home will be given to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, said Greg, who has the disease. I love this idea.
