If approved, Ferguson says it will be one of the largest recov- eries by his office's antitrust di- vision in state history.

When Fritz and Meyer met, Fritz was filling in as executive director at the Human Response Network, which provides ser- vices for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. “His first question to me was, ‘How do we get a dog for our fa- cility?’ ” she said. “(Oak) put up his … sign that said, ‘Will work $ DOWN for kibble.’” Retail Installment Contract, Shared Working at the courthouse is Connect Plan and $25 act. fee required. an ideal job for Oak, who is very 0% APR; 20 mo. payments of $34 for perceptive of people’s moods and 0 Galaxy S® 6. emotions, Fritz said. “He has his happy on when he can work and be with people and share his inordinate amount of love,” she said.

Readers react on Facebook to Pearl Street Pool decision:

Sarah Charisse Fried: This was a very en- joyable place to hang out during the summer and it’s the first pool I took my daughter to. She has been asking when it would be reopen. Many in the community want this pool to open but do not have the funding to help raise enough money for the pool. I think the chamber of commerce should step up because not only is it a historical landmark pool everyone knows and loves, but it also a way to bring in jobs and money to the city. I am tired of Chehalis always getting new and nicer things and Centralia is forgotten about and has nothing. I use to walk to this pool every summer. It was close to home.
