There’s Still Time to See Fort Borst Park Drive-Through Light Show HUB CITY TRADITION: Event Continues to Grow, Adds 10 New Displays; Walkers Get Trail Saturday Morning By The Chronicle If part of your family’s holi- day tradition is cruising around and checking out the Christmas lights, be sure to drive by Fort Borst Park in Centralia. Year after year, the Borst Park Drive-Through Light Display keeps growing. This year, the colorful display has grown to include an extra 10 displays over last year and is open for a longer period of time. “We have Santa shooting hoops, a hippo jumping on pack- ages, a 60-foot long train...,” said Centralia City Councilor Lee Coumbs. “It’s a lot of fun to look at.” For $3 per car, or $2 and a can of food, people can visit from 5 to 9 p.m. through Saturday. For the first hour on Saturday, the display is only open to people who want to walk through rather than drive the half-mile exhibit. “We had a lot of people asking for that,” he said. Coumbs said the extra nights were put in place to give more lo- cals the opportunity to come see it, but it is even starting to pull people off Interstate 5. “It’s visible from the high- way,” he said. “We’ve had two cars from Vancouver who saw it while they were driving, flip around and come check it out.” Different nonprofit groups have been hosting every night to collect the money. For their cause, they’ll take home $200. The rest of the money will go to a new and bigger light display next year. Coumbs said a drive through Pete Caster / [email protected] the display should take about Top: A car drives through the exit gate of the Fort Borst Park Christmas Lights on Monday evening in Centralia. Over 250 cars drove through the assortment of lighted 15 minutes, but inevitably some holiday displays on Monday evening and organizers said that over 5,300 people have seen the lights since the displays opened last week.

"I'm so glad my mother made me study Chinese," laughed property broker Janie Lee, after showing a client from Beijing a $4 million home in the suburb of Medina. "I've been using it a lot." This year, Chinese visitors are on pace to top the list of in- ternational travelers to the Ever- green State. More than half of the 7,300 international students at the University of Washington are from the People's Republic. And a recent top-grossing Chinese ro- mantic comedy featured a Beijing woman who finds love in Seattle. The influx has made its way to high-end property markets, and observers don't expect it to slow down any time soon. "This Ted S.

Local Bowling Standings College Basketball Blazers Balanced in Loss to Umpqua By The Chronicle EVERETT — Poor shooting from long range hindered Centralia here Saturday in a 67-60 loser- out loss to Umpqua in the Everett Crossover Tourna- ment.

Jordan Madrid-An- drews went 6 of 12 from the floor for 16 points and added 20 rebounds with three steals to lead Umpqua, while Mikko Balmes added 7 points and 11 assists.

College Basketball Hawkinson Scores 25; WSU Beats San Jose St. 82-53 PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Josh Hawkinson scored 25 points and grabbed 13 rebounds Sunday as Washington State defeated short-handed San Jose State 82-53. Hawkinson made 12 of 17 field goals. “Pretty much that’s the goal going into every game, get 10 points 10 rebounds, try to get that double-double,” Hawkinson said. San Jose State (2-10) only suited seven players for the game. On Dec. 13, coach Dave Wojcik suspended five players - includ- ing the team’s top four scorers - for violating team rules. Wojick brought players from the football team just to have enough bodies Sunday. “I think we got tired, we got worn down,” Wojcik said. “Cred- it them - they played 12 guys to wear us down.” The Cougars were trailing 11-6 before Hawkinson made three-straight shots which sparked a 25-5 run by Washing- ton State. Hawkinson’s 3-pointer from the right wing put an excla- mation point on the run, making it 31-16. Washington State had a 34-5 advantage in bench points as coach Ernie Kent utilized his en- tire roster. Josh Railey scored 12 of those as WSU took advantage of the circumstances. “They were depleted in num- bers, but also going into a game like this guys have to realize they don’t have anything to lose,” Rai- ley said. “They might have even more confidence because they know they’re going to get their minutes, they know they’re go- ing to get their shots up.” Washington State (5-6) fin- ished the first half with a 53-35 lead and the margin dropped be- low 20 points in the second half. DaVonte Lacy scored 14 points and Dexter Kernich-Drew added 10 for Washington State. Darryl Gaynor II led San Jose State with 24 points on 8-of-27 shooting.

TIP-INS San Jose State: The Spartans have not beaten a Division I team since Feb. 18 when they defeated Nevada 68-64. Before that, their last win over a Division I team was Dec. 18 of 2013. Washington State: The Cougars only shot 6 of 24 from 3-point range. The contest marked the first home game for WSU since Dec. 6. Railey’s 12 points were a season high.

NFL Seahawks Close in on NFC West Title ON TRACK: Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch Come Up Big in Seattle’s 35-6 Rout of Arizona By Bob Baum The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. — Seat- tle's defense was stifling as usual and its offense had a record- breaking eruption against a de- fense that's supposed to be one of the NFL's best. That team from the Pacific Northwest sure looked a lot like the Super Bowl champs of last season in its 35-6 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sun- day night. "I think it feels better than last year," Seattle defensive end Mi- chael Bennett said. Russell Wilson threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and the Seahawks amassed a franchise-record 596 yards to close in on another NFC West title and the No. 1 seed in the conference. "That's about as much fun as you can have playing NFL foot- ball in the regular season," Se- ahawks coach Pete Carroll said. Seattle (11-4) moved into a tie with Arizona (11-4) for first
