We feel like we’re saving a lot of stuff,” he said. “If they could talk, there’s so much history to them.” When Juan and Gerardo Aya- la first started the business, they built some of their own furniture. Now, they mostly stock antiques and items bought at auctions, Pete Caster / [email protected] Ayala said. Juan Ayala, co-owner of Ayala Brothers Furniture Co., leans on a wall at the entrance to the massive antique and furniture store in downtown Centralia on Thursday. “We hardly ever build any- thing anymore because of the economy,” he said. “It’s a differ- ent market now.” The brothers opened their ABOUT THE BUSINESS: own business in 1989 and moved into their current location in AYALA BROTHERS 2001.

Farm Internship Project Comes to Lewis County

By The Chronicle The Farm Internship Project has been extended to cover Lew- is County as well as others across the state. The program, run by the state Department of Labor and In- dustry, allows farmers with an- nual sales lower than $250,000 to have three interns for a year to help on the farm. The interns will learn about farming as they lend a hand. “It’s important for more farms to reap the benefits of the proj- ect,” said Julie Gullett, of Seed- pod Farm in Centralia, in a press release. “We are losing the knowledge of elder farmers as they retire, and fewer folks are entering farming.” The goal of the project when it was created in 2010 was to help get more people interested in farming and give older farmers a way to pass on their knowledge to the next generation. “Farm internships are great ways for farmers to mentor young people with an interest in this field — and keep food on our tables,” Gov. Jay Inslee said when he signed the expansion. In total, 20 counties are able to participate in this project and it has been extended to the end of 2019. NO HIDDEN FEES Before the project, the only way farmers could pass down their knowledge was through volunteer labor or an on-farm PLUS education stipend. This put both the farm and the workers at risk due to the lack of insurance. Un- der the program, workers have worker compensation protection and the opportunity to learn, the UNLIMITED DATA press release said. All the farms are certified by the Department of Labor and Industry. “We want to ensure a quality FOR JUST $40/MO. learning experience for partici- pants while making it easy for farms to take part,” said Kelly – With 4 lines – Kane, who manages the project for L&I, in a press release. “We’re encouraged with this first-in- the-nation effort’s expansion Plus Unlimited Talk and Text, across the state.” Applications for the project and curriculum resources are including Mexico and Canada. available at Lni.wa.gov/FarmIn- ternProject.

While those who live in tents or in camps in wooded areas and under bridges said they appreci- ate the food, hygiene products and sleeping bags that help them get through the day and night, they said what they really need is a leg up to break the cycle of ex- treme poverty and homelessness. “Most of the time (we need) an address,” said Chuck Wie- gard, who has been homeless in Centralia for about two years. “When you’ve got an address, you can go out and get jobs.” Not having a physical address becomes a catch-22, Wiegard and others said.

Life 4 • The Chronicle, Centralia/Chehalis, Wash., Saturday, July 29, 2017 Faith Religion, Church News His Art Is a Way of ‘Meeting With the Divine,’ Iconographer Says

By Katherine Burgess The Wichita Eagle WICHITA, Kan. — Theodo- ros Papadopoulos has painted images of Christ, the Virgin Mary and angels that cover the walls and ceilings of churches. Those images are not decora- tions, he says. Rather, they are a way of “meeting with the divine.” “The icon has as its purpose to transport us into the realm of the spiritual experience, to go beyond the material world,” said Papadopoulos, a professional iconographer from Greece. Last month, rather than working on icons for a church in Greece, Papadopoulos was in Kansas, sharing his knowledge through a workshop held at the Catholic Diocese of Wichita’s Spiritual Life Center. Glenn Gunnels looked closely at the canvas in front of him, then at the example of St. Michael the Archangel. Slowly, he painted a few lines — by the nose, on the forehead, around the lips — giving depth to Mi- chael’s face. “I love the spirituality of the icons,” Gunnels said. “They’re supposed to be a window to the Bo Rader/Wichita Eagle saint you’re praying to.” Greek iconographer Theodoros Papadopoulos spent a week sharing his knowledge and talents through a workshop held at the Catholic Diocese of Wichita’s Spiritual Gunnels and the other stu- Life Center. Those images are not decorations, he says. Rather, they are a way of “meeting with the divine.” dents in Papadopoulos’ class spent nearly eight hours each and has created icons to cover cause they are meant to depict portrayed, she must have three home state of Wisconsin. day for an entire week working the walls and ceilings of at least the illumination from God’s small stars on her head and When she heard Papadopou- on a single image of Michael. five churches. kingdom, which is everywhere. shoulders, indicating that she los would be back in the United Sometimes they worked on Being an iconographer is not Geometric shapes are used was a virgin before, during and States, she decided to fly to blending different shades to- easy, Papadopoulos says.
