By Justyna Tomtas [email protected] The new owners of the Hub City Club have big visions for the event space. The dream is to create a family-friendly concert venue, and a place for other events — but they have a lot of work to do first. Drew and Elizabeth Wood started operating the club in June. Since then they’ve had a few events and local musicians have been a large part of their support system, Elizabeth said. Currently the club is under- going renovations and Drew is working to spruce the place up. The venue has a shabby-chic look to it, but upgrades are being made to help modernize it. Drew has been working on smaller projects, such as repair- ing the floor and the front bar. But the dream is much bigger than that. The couple wants to do work to the stage, making it a better environment for artists, and also has a dream of someday opening up a rooftop terrace and recording studio. “We want to emphasize growth in the community and give the artists what they de- serve,” Elizabeth said. After holding some successful mic nights, the Woods said they want the venue to become a place where artists can get 100 percent of the ticket sales. The Centra- lia couple have musical back- Pete Caster / [email protected] grounds, and the one thing they Elizabeth Wood and her husband, Drew, talk about their plans for the Hub City Club in Centralia on Thursday afternoon. believe is missing in the county is a good place for artists to come together. “There’s just no place to play,” Drew said.

Elizabeth said she wanted to bring in other family-friendly events. Drew Wood stands near the skylighted stage of the Hub City Club on Thursday “The venue space is not just afternoon in Centralia. for music,” she said. “ We want to have kid events, things for adults and private parties.” At its peak, Elizabeth predicted, the event space could employ up to 12 people, and would also help generate local revenue as performers and groups come to the area for events. The problem for now is money. The couple is currently leasing the building that houses Hub City Club, but funds are tight. With ongoing renovations, the Woods have held two fun- draisers. They have also established a gofundme.com account to raise more funds. “The business community is really behind our idea,” Elizabeth said. “They think it’s great.” Elizabeth, an anthropologist, said that when the national and global economy isn’t doing well, the local economy is what people learn to depend on. She hopes one day the event venue will be like a community square where people will come to meet. The couple is in it for the long haul, they said. They plan to bring the event venue back online to help pump resources into their local economy. “We’re not going anywhere,” Drew said. Drew and Elizabeth Wood and their daughter, Kindle, 1, are seen in the relection of a ceiling mirror in the entrance of the Hub City Club in Centralia on Thursday afternoon. Going on Vacation?

Growing up in Akron’s inner city, he said he knows “kids don’t really grow up thinking beyond high school.” College isn’t a realistic future for many, he said, and “kids need to see a finish line.” Scarborough said UA will work with the foundation over the next five years to raise the money to cover the tuition and general fees for the first recipients, who will be graduating from high school in 2021. As a fallback, UA will pri- oritize its regular financial-aid program to make sure the free college promise is kept, but Scar- borough said he is confident fun- draising efforts will meet most of the demand. In each of the last four years, the foundation has selected about 300 third-graders attending Ak- ron Public Schools to enter its Wheels for Education program, which provides summer technology camp experiences, after- school activities and mentorship opportunities. As those students enter middle school, they are moved to the foundation’s Ak- ron I PROMISE Network, where they remain through high school. Students eligible for the free four-year scholarships include about 1,100 students currently in those programs, as well as an estimated 1,200 expected to be added over the next four years. Scarborough said he hopes the “renewable partnership” will go beyond even that. Scholarship recipients will be expected to meet grade-point average, attendance and other standards that are yet to be de- termined, Scarborough said. A committee will meet to draft the guidelines. “Our goal is to make it reasonable, to make it a level that these kids have a good chance of suc- ceeding when they come to the

Rainbow Cafe Operated Until 1930s

Submitted by Janice Duncan / for Our Hometowns These 1927-28 photos show Walter Henry Phillips and his second wife, Cora Snider, along with two restaurant workers, both inside and outside of their business. The couple owned and operated the Rainbow Cafe Restaurant at 1977 Chehalis Ave. They owned the restaurant until the mid- to late-1930s. Walter died on Oct. 4, 1944, and is buried in the Phillips family plot at Fern Hill Cemetery in Chehalis. His mother, Julie Smith, was a daughter of John Partial and Lucy Rachel Smith, who were early settlers of Lewis County. His father was Simon Phillips, who came west during the California Gold Rush.
