Families at the event said it’s a great way to get to know members of the community and get into the Christmas spirit. More than 40 people attend the event every year. Adna Grange Master-Elect Betty Sipp said the Grange has held the event for at least 10 years. Each year, they plan for about 50 people to attend. In between making Christ- mas crafts and having pancakes and sausage, children at the event visited with Santa. Jackie Lester, who played Santa this year, said she got lots of high fives. “I wish more of them would come up and see me,” she said. “Some are a little shy to come all the way up.” Sipp said the Adna Grange needs to have events partly to at- tract community members to the organization. “We don’t want the Grange to disappear,” she said. Laurie Veatch joined the Grange not long after last year’s Breakfast With Santa and helped in the kitchen this year. “I was really looking forward Natalie Johnson / [email protected] to it,” she said. “It’s a lot of fun.” Errol Anderson-Thomas, 6, picks out a treat from Santa Claus Saturday morning at the Adna Grange’s annual Breakfast with Santa.

Local Bowling Standings Saturday’s Prep Boys Basketball Tigers Fall in Shootout with 4A Evergreen

By The Chronicle Centralia came out firing, but couldn’t keep pace with 4A Evergreen on Saturday in an 83-71 loss in the Hub City. Christian Peters scored 26 with six boards to lead the Ti- gers, but a 9-point second quarter gave Evergreen a 10-point halftime advantage. “We executed beautifully, and we’d get the shot we wanted, but then five different guys missed a layup,” Cen- tralia coach Ron Brown said, of the second quarter. “But we did a nice job. It was a pretty interesting high school game.” Tyrus Hosley led Ev- ergreen with 30 points and added nine rebounds. Deter Voetberg added 16 points for Centralia, while Nolan Wasson scored 11 and Layne Pertzborn tallied 10. Cale Shute scored 7 with eight rebounds. “Deter Voetberg was wonderful defensively, and he’s just so much fun to watch on the court. Christian (Pe- ters) shot pretty well and kept us around,” Brown added. “But everybody really contrib- uted.” Centralia (2-3) will host Hoquiam on Wednesday, and will play at Rochester on Saturday. Note: Hodges Bai- ley, a junior guard and first-team All-League pick last season as the Tigers’ leading scorer, has missed the first five games of the season with an injury, but is expected to return for Wednesday’s game.
