She ran out in front of a 2000 Ford Excursion driven by a 16-year-old boy. Time seemed to slow as she watched the grill of the SUV come toward her. It hit her. The next thing she knew, she was lying on the ground on her stomach. She tried to get up. An off-duty emergency med- ical technician, who was nearby when the collision happened, told her to stay down. A man from her church was there, and when she heard his familiar voice, she felt calm. At that point, she wasn’t in pain; her body just felt hot from the waist down. An ambulance came. An EMT she knew was working. Having another familiar face there was comforting as she was transported to Providence Cen- tralia Hospital. Then she was flown with her mom to Harbor- view Medical Center in Seattle. Her father drove up separately. Brasher said she stayed at Harborview for about 10 days. Her pelvis was broken in multi- ple places and one of her scapu- las was cracked. Her doctor said her good physical condition contributed to her injuries not being more extensive, Brasher said. She worked with a physical therapist for about two months. “I kept a good attitude, but inside I was just so frustrated because of where I was I was so athletic … it set me back so far,” Brasher said. But she said she was lucky it wasn’t worse and that she didn’t have to start all over. She was in a wheelchair for about eight weeks. She advanced Pete Caster / [email protected] to a walker and then to two crutches and then one crutch.

It was a damp, cold day when the pair, on their lunch break, saw the rock and walked into the river, which was running shal- low, to inspect it. It was big — about 2 feet in diameter, with a domelike top filled with grooves and small de- pressions. Reid scraped off some moss so they could see it better. All Wasankari could make out were “just some triangles and rectangles and shapes,” but he re- alized they had found something special. “The symbols that we saw were too unique,” said Wasan- kari, a 44-year-old contractor who grew up in the area and now lives in Gig Harbor.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2014 SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) It will be easier to complete projects if you work alone. Asking questions will lead to interference.

You will not feel satisied if you try to live up to someone else's expectations. Reconsider your past choices and make adjustments that suit your current needs.

Relationship woes could lead to a costly mistake if you mix your business and personal lives.

College Football NFL Bolding Says 49ers Have Something to Play For SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco wide receiver Anquan Boldin said he’s mystified by the 49ers’ 7-6 record heading into their game at Seattle on Sunday. “No one expected this,” Boldin said Friday. “If you asked us at the beginning of the season, we would have said 14-2 or some- thing like that. Things don’t always work out like you plan.” The 49ers’ playoff hopes are still alive, through a loss to the Seahawks would virtually knock them out though. “We had a pretty good week and guys look ready,” Boldin said. “The feeling in the locker room is we still have a lot to play for.” Boldin, on the verge of his second straight 1,000- yard season, knows that Tyler Tjomsland / The Spokesman-Review playing in Seattle presents Eastern quarterback Vernon Adams (3) is congratulated by backup quarterback Jordan West (14) after defeating Montana during the second half of a second-round its own set of problems. game in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playofs on Saturday at Roos Field in Cheney.

CHRISTMAS LIGHT DISPLAY: Centralia Man Puts 100 Hours Into Display By Carrina Stanton For The Chronicle When Ray Moore was a child, Christmas was a special season for him. Today, it still is because it means he gets to live out his childhood dreams. “I always wanted a nice tree and a house that was decorated but we didn’t have it,” he said. “Now I do.” Ray and his wife, Bon- nie, have been dazzling their Centralia neighborhood with Christmas lights for seven years now. Each year, the spectacular display gets bigger and bigger. Ray says it is his childlike won- der at the season that motivates him, along with the joy he sees it bring the many families that come by each year. The Moores are originally from Kelso and lived in Palm Springs before becoming full- time Centralia residents in 2006. Their home was inherited from Bonnie’s grandmother, and they originally planned to fix it up and sell it. They would come during the summers and stay in the house and work on it. Eventually they began to love the home and area. They sold their home in Palm Springs and purchased a second home in Boise, Idaho, so they had a place to stay when they visited their grown children. The couple’s first Christmas in Centralia was in 2007, and Ray put up Christmas lights that year.
