COMMENTARY: Highlighting Lewis County Civil War Descendant’s Roots Go Deep in Winlock Last week I shared excerpts from a Civil War book written by a Toledo woman’s great- grandfather, who brought to life his experiences as a Union soldier. But Edna Washburn could write her own history book. She has plenty of fodder in her family’s history, which she has been researching since 1950. For example, she possesses a book published in 1884 called “The Marshall Family: A His- tory of the Descendants of Wil- liam Marshall (born 1722; died 1796) by Edna Washburn O.S.

It’s the gold medal, or go home. We plan to take the gold medal with your help,” McKenna said at the Lewis County Republican headquarters at the Fairway Shopping Center in Centralia. With polls showing a tight race between McKenna and Democrat Jay Inslee, McKenna’s campaign will remain focused and competitive — in every corner of the state — until the polls close, said Charles McCray, the attorney general’s communications director.

Quarterbacks Tanner Gueller, W.F. West: The Bearcat junior, starting in his first Swamp Cup game against Centralia, passed for 215 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another 104 yards for a cool 27 points. Not a bad game, by any means, for someone who was projected — in spite of very limited varsity experience — to be the top quarterback in LCFF this season. Mac Shaw, Tenino: Shaw ran for 81 yards and two touchdowns, and passed for 219 yards and three touchdowns, for 41 points in the Beavers' blowout of rival Rochester. Shaw came into the season as a bit of an unknown, after transferring from Rainier, and made a big splash early with huge games during the Beavers' 5-0 start, but quickly established himself as the highest-scoring quarterback in the league.
