Onalaska Celebrates After School’s Removal From Poor Performer List WORK: Superintendent of Public Instruction Among Those in Attendance By Justyna Tomtas [email protected] Community members gathered in the gymnasium at Onalaska Middle School on Thursday to celebrate the school’s success after the the Washington State Board of Edu- cation released the school from Required Action Status. The school was placed on the list in 2011 after low performance scores in reading and math pinpointed the school as one of the lowest performing schools in the state. That is no longer the case after programs and support from the federal government helped boost scores by as much as 30 percentage points. The RAD community celebration brought together a number of speakers who commended staff and the students for their hard work. State Superintendent of Pub- lic Instruction Randy Dorn said Onalaska was one of the more unique schools in the School Improvement Grant process because initially it was not approved for funding.

2B Softball Adna, Napavine, PWV All Make Semifinals By The Chronicle YAKIMA — The Central 2B League sent five teams to the State 2B Softball Tournament and, in what should come as no surprise given the league's domi- nance on a statewide level, still has four of those teams vying for the title. Adna will face first-year com- bination program Pe Ell-Willapa Valley, and Napavine will take on defending state champion Toutle Lake in today's State 2B semifinals. Both games are slat- ed to start at noon here at Gate- way Sports Complex. The Central 2B League con- tingent combined to outscore the rest of the state by a whop- ping 73-15 margin in the first round, and the closest contest of the quarterfinals was Napavine's 13-9 victory over Morton-White Pass. The Timberwolves will play a loser-out contest against Kittitas at 10 a.m. this morning, and will need three wins today to reach the third/fourth place game.

River, at Iron Creek Campground, outside of Randle, Washington.

Layser Cave is located near the Cispus Learning Center, just outside of Randle. Archaeologists, anthropologists and historians who have examined the site believe that the site was likly used by Upper and Taidinapam Cowlitz Indians as many as 7,000 years ago, with several periods of inactivity that coincide with major volcanic events in the area. The site was apparently abondoned about 300 years ago. Today, you can visit the site, via a short, family- friendly trail, and imagine what it might have been like to live in a cave, as a Native American, thousands of years ago. The Cispus River bends around Iron Creek Campground, near the junction where Iron Creek meets the larger stream, outside of Randle.
