Earlier in the day, Felicity Holmes and her husband, Dan- iel, had been sent home from Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia. They said there wasn’t an open labor room, and while she was 5 centimeters dilated, her contractions weren’t regular yet. Felicity and Daniel Holmes went back home to Chehalis. Shortly after arriving, Felic- ity’s contractions became regu- lar, and an hour later, her water broke. The couple, who have two children already, headed to the hospital. At first, they were going to drive back up to Olympia, since that’s where they had been going Kaylee Osowski / [email protected] for prenatal care.

Mayor The News Tribune A young boy, about 8 years old, led his family of four through the door of Sucher & Sons. Two steps into the store, he came to an abrupt halt, causing the rest of the family to pile up behind him in the doorway. “Whoa,” was all the boy could say as his wide-eyed gaze panned from left to right. “I told you that you would like it,” the mom said. The boy’s star-struck reaction is typical of anyone who walks into the Sucher & Sons Star Wars Shop for the first time. After taking in his first view, the young boy bolted from the rest of his family, exploring dis- play cases, boxes, dioramas, bas- kets and shelves crammed with “Star Wars” toys, costumes, mag- azines, movie posters, photo- graphs and memorabilia.

Lewis County Sherif’s Oice — Shop With a Cop Voice of the People

Chronicle readers share their thoughts every day through social media, including Facebook, Twitter and the comment section of Chronline.com. Here are some of the recent highlights of conversation.

Readers respond on Facebook to story of a W.F. West High School student who has appealed to the school board after being told he could not wear a hat emblazoned with an im- age of the Confederate flag:

Spencer Ernst As a former student of WFW, this is ridiculous. Parents/ teachers should be instilling in children that hats indoors in front of teachers is so disrespectful. Also, just give the kids uniforms already that would solve so many issues not just the present issue. And, let’s face it your a child in school learn some respect and compassion the world is bigger than just you, and while yes the Confederate flag is U.S history it clearly offends some peo- ple, so why don’t you you wear it around the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office / Courtesy Photo farm or on a back woods drive where you are Lewis County Sherif’s Oice Reserve Deputy Clarence Lupo smiles while an attendee of Shop With a Cop rejoices Thursday not going to make anyone feel uncomfortable. at Walmart.

Dwayne Edward Mattson: As much as I stand for the First Amendment, it doesn’t ap- ply on school property where the administra- tion can impose standards of dress. The smart move on their part would be no hats indoors and no printed shirts other than the school teams.

Fern McKee: There are a lot more disgust- ing, offensive things being worn and said on school campuses and in public in general now than a hat with a Confederate flag im- age. The Confederate flag is a historical part of our country and anyone going to high school now nor their parents or grandparents had any participation in the events of that time. People Deputy Justin Rodgers poses with a young Shop With a Cop participant. need to quit trying to relive and change our history. We need to learn from it and move on. Someone is just trying to bully someone else. Wear your hat young man! One person’s per- sonal rights are not trumped by another. The bully is not being required to wear one.

J William Gleason: At first I was surprised that this was still an issue. The confederate flag is a symbol of hate and racist beliefs (church it up all you want) but then I realized, it’s in Lewis county. A county that is just as racist as Missis- sippi & as for the late coming to defend the bigoted symbol, again it’s Lewis county. They are always a few months (sometimes years) be- hind the rest of the nation.

Serena Griffin: I think it is nice that stu- dents are standing up for their beliefs and find- ing ways, within the rules, to be heard. That passion will come in handy as they grow up and their ideas and ideals change. Taking it to the school board is an appropriate response, Lewis County Corrections Oicer Jared Kasinger and his Shop With a Cop partner. especially in light of current school events around the country.

Daniel Henderson: Every flag that has ever flown over ANY part of the United States prior to 1865 was flown by people that had, at some point owned slaves... even our beloved Stars and Stripes! Now, the rest of you need to go back to school and learn about what really caused the Civil War. Slavery was secondary to the primary reason.

Malcolm R. Campbell: If we’re going to support the rights of those we agree with, we have to support the rights of those we don’t agree with. Unfortunately, public schools seem to be immune to the rights those of us not in school take for granted. They ban what- ever they want.

Finding a way to re-sign the right-hander, who turns 35 in April, was a priority for Seattle entering the offseason. There were several reports Dec. 7 of a $45 million, three-year agree- ment between Iwakuma and the Dodgers, pending a physical, and the Mariners then acquired left- handed starter Wade Miley from Boston. Japan’s Jiji Press reported Thursday the Dodgers were not satisfied with the physical, and Iwakuma was suddenly available again. “We said from the start that Kuma was a priority for us,” Di- poto said in a statement. “Obvi- ously, the developments from the last few days allowed us to get back in the game. It’s a credit to our ownership; to Howard Lin- coln, to Kevin Mather, to our entire ownership group that we were able to get aggressive and find a way to bring Kuma back to the Mariners. We’re all thrilled. This is a big move for us.” Iwakuma gets a $1 million signing bonus payable through December 2017 and a $10 mil- lion salary this year. Seattle has $10 million op- tions for 2017 and 2018, and Iwakuma would get a $1 mil- lion buyout if either option is declined. The 2017 option would become guaranteed at $14 mil- lion if he pitches 162 innings next year, and the 2018 option would become guaranteed at $15 million if he pitches 162 innings in 2017 or 324 combined in 2016 and ‘17. In each season, he can earn $500,000 each for 150 innings pitched and each additional 10 through 190. He receives a full no-trade provision, eight busi- ness class plane tickets annually between Japan and the U.S. and a trainer with a $100,000 salary. When the contract ends, he will become a free agent again. Iwakuma was 9-5 with a 3.54 ERA in 20 starts last season for the Mariners, including the first no-hitter of his career in August against Baltimore, and was 4-2 with a 2.17 ERA over his final seven starts.

Editor: Eric Schwartz Phone number: 807-8224 Life e-mail: [email protected] Family Uses Inheritance to Open New Leather, Glass Business in Downtown Chehalis THE JACKAL: Entire Family Moves From Vancouver to Napavine to Create New Retail Space By Lisa Brunette For The Chronicle Karac Helus remembers exactly what his father said when he called to tell him the news: “The lottery just hap- pened.” The family had received an unexpected windfall in the form of an inheritance from a distant relative. A long-lost great aunt, to be exact. After much deliberation, four of the men in the family decided they should use the windfall to go into business to- gether. “At first, we explored franchises,” said Karac Helus. “But we decided against it. They’re too controlling.” They settled on The Jackal, a store in downtown Chehalis specializing in leather motorcycle clothing and glass smok- ing accessories, used for tobacco and marijuana. Four members of the family have 25 percent ownership in the venture: the elder Tom Helus Sr.; his sons, Tommy He- lus III and Karac Helus; and cousin Peter Jacobsen. The store opened Nov. 23. “With the laws changing, we thought it would be a smart investment,” said Karac. “We wanted something that would last for a while. We want to use it to invest in the family.” While the four family members did mean to seize on the opportunity created by marijuana legalization, the store also reflects a shared lifestyle. “We’re all Harley riders,” Peter Jacobsen said. “We’ve been riding for about 15 years. We know what’s going to stand up and what’s not if you lay your bike down in the street.” “We’re also smokers,” he said. “We thought mixing leath- ers and glass would be cool.” On the leather side, the owners offer vests, chaps and jackets, with a 50-50 split between men’s and women’s mer- chandise. On the second day of business, two women perused the racks, trying on vests. “You have a very nice shop,” said one, Jan McKinnon. She and her friend, Sherri Scott, were drawn to the store because of their love of both leather and glass. Of the glass, McKin- non said, “It’s not as much a novelty as it used to be.” Jacobsen said they hope to double the leather offerings soon. They’re also looking into clothing for dirt bike and quad riders, realizing there’s demand in the community. They pay

attention to what they see is popular with riders and what has durability. On the glass side, they are fully stocked with custom originals made from handblown glass. All of it is local, Pa- cific Northwest glass from their supplier, Mary Jane’s House of Glass. “It’s functional art,” Jacobsen said, retrieving a pink-and- gold pipe from a display case. The glass reacts to the light, changing color as the light changes. Nearby are pipes bearing the names of sports teams, as well as a Hello Kitty pipe. “That one’s been really popular,” Jacobsen said. In a large display case is the store’s most valuable piece, Gooroo’s Home Defense model, so named because when you turn it on its side, it resembles a rifle. In a case lining the wall are pieces with glass shaped to create a tornado effect so the smoke cools through one or more chambers before it is inhaled. Other pieces glow in the dark. Such items for sale in downtown Chehalis could cause controversy, but so far, the owners haven’t received a single complaint. They purposefully avoided any actual tobacco or marijuana products and have no interest in selling them. They’re also strictly interested in retail, with no plans to sell online. “We just like talking to people,” Jacobsen said. The entire family recently relocated to Napavine from Vancouver, Washington, which Jacobsen describes as too big and noisy for their tastes. “We like quiet, small communities,” he said. ••• Lisa Brunette is author of the Dreamslippers mystery series and blogs at www.catintheflock.com.
