Botello-Garcia, a 39-year-old Disabled Army Veteran, Was Convicted Earlier This Year By Stephanie Schendel [email protected] A Lewis County judge sentenced a former Centralia man to 30 years in prison Friday afternoon for the rape and molestation of a young girl over a pro- longed period of time. A jury found Paulo R. Botel- lo-Garcia guilty of two counts of second-degree child molestation and second-degree rape of a child on Feb. 13 as well as a series of aggravating factors, which contributed to the length of his prison sentence. During his sentencing hearing Friday afternoon, Judge James Lawler sentenced the 39-year-old man to 116 months for the two counts of child molestation and 244 months for the two counts of child rape. The sentences will be served consec- utively.

They couldn't see elk themselves from that high up, but they knew they were there.

The three-day survey over a section of public land was a first- time trial run using the technology to survey elk in dense, forest- ed areas.

News in Brief Woodinville Sewage Plant Invites Weddings WOODINVILLE (AP) — A sewage treatment plant near Se- attle is advertising its availability as a wedding venue. The Brightwater Wastewater Treatment Center says on Face- book it has a full catering kitchen, audio-video equipment, dance floor and ample parking. You could even hold the wedding outside. The director of the Bright- water Environmental Education and Community Center, Susan Tallarico, tells KIRO that recep- tions would take place just steps away from where raw sewage is processed. She says there's no odor because all the processing is contained. The King County plant was finished three years ago but has been available for rent for about seven months. It costs $2,000 to rent the center for eight hours. One couple has already booked the sewage plant for their nuptials.

After carving a large block of snow of the roof of the Paradise Inn, maintenance workers Jonathan Lawton, left, and his brother, Daniel Lawton, toss the icy block down the snow bank as they clear the hotel's roof on Thursday at the Paradise area of Mount Rainier National Park. The road between Longmire and Paradise at the national park is now open over night. The Paradise Inn plans to open its doors May 21.

Golf Bubba Watson Goes on Birdie Spree at the Masters By Paul Newberry The Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Bub- ba Watson likes the way he looks in green. He wants to get that color back in his wardrobe. Watson surged to the Masters lead with a spree of birdies on the back side Friday, positioning him for a weekend run at his second green jacket in three years. “I’m trying to get the jacket back,” Watson said. “I want that feeling again.” The 2012 champion at Au- gusta National sparked the best run of the tournament so far when he stuck his tee shot at No. 12 within 3 feet of the cup. He tapped in for the first of five straight birdies that propelled him to a 4-under 68. Even after making his second bogey of the tournament by missing a short putt at the 18th, Watson walked off with his second straight round in the 60s, a 36-hole score of 7-under 137, and a three-stroke lead. “It’s not science here,” Wat- son said. “It’s try to hit the greens, and if you’re hitting the greens that means you’re obviously hitting your tee shots well.

Rev. Sprague Faces Charges n 1890, a trial in Lewis The Davis Family Home in 1925 ICounty court was scheduled for a Centralia pastor. “Methodist circles are agi- tated over charges preferred against the pastor, Rev. Sprague Davis, by Mr. A.P. Ross, former superintendent of the Sabbath school,” The Centralia Chron- icle wrote. “The charges are ‘gambling, falsehood and slan- der.’”

Don’s mother, Katherine Dunn Davis, died 18 day’s after Don’s birth. She was 21 at the time of her death. Cicero married Babe in 1921 and they raised the two boys together.
