NORTHWEST The Chronicle, Centralia/Chehalis, Wash., Saturday, April 5, 2014 • Main 9 Monitoring Can Warn of Impending Slides — at a Cost UNUSED: Instruments Used to Monitor Movement of Slopes Rarely Used in Pacific Northwest Sandi Doughton The Seattle Times In the weeks before the Oso mudslide, Shari Brewer and her husband noticed a change in the bluff that towered over the North Fork of the Stillaguamish. A crack at the top of the slope was widening, but it didn’t seem like anything to be alarmed about. “It was just sliding down a little,” said Brewer, who lives west of Darrington. “It wasn’t a lot, but we could see that it was opening up.” Jeffrey Moore isn’t surprised. Large landslides don’t strike out of the blue, said the Univer- sity of Utah geologist. Unstable slopes almost always creep, slough and sag long before they let loose. Monitoring that movement can provide lifesaving warnings, though the approach is rarely used in the Northwest. “I don’t know why we don’t in- vest more in trying to pre-empt AP Photo / Elaine Thompson these disasters,” said Moore, be- Workers use hand tools in Oso Thursday next to heavy equipment at the scene of a deadly mudslide nearly two weeks earlier nearby.

Columns, Celebrations, Voices Community Conversations Voice of the People Diapers for Pope’s Kids Place Respite Care Center Chronicle readers share their thoughts everyday through social media, including Facebook, Twitter and the comment section of Chronline.com. Here are some of the recent highlights of conversation.

The city of Centralia is piloting the 24/7 Sobriety Program, a new state initiative that requires twice daily breath tests for repeat DUI offenders facing new charges. What do you think about the program?

Thomas Payne: “Other options besides incarceration could very well give those people that are deserving of the program a chance. As for repeat offenders? Probably not a good idea. It’ll be a waste of tax dollars.”

Gary Gelder: “Anything to keep the drunks off the road.”

2B Baseball Lindsay, Doughty Lift Tigers Past MWP

TIGERS BITE LATE: Seventh-Inning Walkoff Sac Fly By Napavine’s Cole Doughty Gives Tigers 3-2 Win Over Morton-White Pass By the Chronicle NAPAVINE — After losing to Morton-White Pass on Thursday, Napavine bit back on Friday with a 3-2 victory behind a strong pitching performance by Jensen Lindsay and a walk-off sacrifice fly by Cole Doughty. The Tigers improved to 3-3 in the league while sending MWP to a 1-5 Central 2B League mark. “The biggest key for us in this game was that we kept Ry- lon Kolb off the bases,” Napavine coach Bryan Bullock said. “Yes- terday, he was on the base paths for us, causing havoc all day.” Morton-White Pass took a 1-0 lead in the third inning on a sac fly by Kalen Dunlap.

SOUTH REGION Best Team: Florida Biggest Upset: Stephen F. Austin over VCU Athlon Sports’ Final Four Breakdown Most Surprising Team: Dayton Most Disappointing Team: Kansas Best Player: Scottie Wilbekin, Florida. The SEC Player of the Year continued to sparkle in the postseason. The Gators’ senior point guard averaged 16.8 points in four NCAA Tournament games and, more impressive, only committed two turnovers in 140 minutes of action. Honorable Mention: Jordan Adams, UCLA; Michael Frazier II, Florida; Dyshawn Pierre, Day- ton; Dwight Powell, Stanford; Chasson Randle, Stanford Best Game: Dayton 60, Ohio State 59, Round of 64 — The Flyers’ surprising run to the Elite Eight began with a thrilling one-point win over in-state rival Ohio State. Vee Sanford, a transfer from Georgetown, delivered the winning basket on a layup with 3.8 seconds remaining. Most Disappointing Game: Pittsburgh 77, Col- orado 48, Round of 64 — This was far from the most anticipated game of the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament, but 8/9 games are at least supposed to be competitive. Pittsburgh jumped out to a 13–0 lead in the opening minutes and cruised to the easy win.

The man affectionately known as “Frank the Tank” averaged 18.5 points while shooting 54.5 percent from the field in the Badgers’ four wins.

Filling the Biggest Need SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS: Respite Center Gives Families Needed Break By Carrina Stanton For The Chronicle Long before Jan Millam and her husband became foster parents they felt called not only to welcome children into their home, but to help those who had special medical needs. “It's a 24—hour a day job,” Millam said. “You don't get a break. You've got to do feeding pumps and medical equipment and wheelchairs. It is a process just getting out the door. Every- thing has to be checked. You can't just say 'I'm going to go take a bath' unless you know someone else is there to do all those things.” The Millams are just one of about 25 families in Lewis County who use the Vivian's House Respite Center at Pope's Kids Place in Centralia as a way to ease their daily burden. The Millams became foster parents focusing on medical foster care in 1991 and have since have housed more than 300 foster children, many with special needs. Together they have five Pete Caster / [email protected] biological children and have Tanya Jenkins helps her son, Chase Conzatti, wake up from a nap on Wednesday, March 26, at the Vivian’s House Respite also adopted one child and have Center at Pope’s Kids Place in Centralia.
