Mack presented Zack Miller with a certificate in honor of his actions on Feb. 22. Early that morning, Miller’s family’s home in the 500 block of South King Street caught fire.

Still, when the opportunity arose to purchase the Country Corner Market in Rochester, he seized the chance. That was four years ago, and all signs indicate that Martin seems to be settling into his new role as a liquidation grocery purveyor. When Martin, 30, Rochester, purchased the Country Corner Market from the previous owner, the grocery store was nearly three years old already with a small but dedicated customer base. One presidential term later, Martin has implemented plenty of changes while keeping things familiar and satisfying for his Pete Caster / [email protected] loyal customer base. Wendell Martin, owner of the Country Corner Market in Rochester, stands in the produce section of his store on Thursday. “I’ve made a lot of improvements, but there have been a lot of answered prayers’ too,” said Martin. “My sister worked here from the very beginning, so I’m thankful for that.” The first few years were a bit of an adjustment period for Mar- tin, and his bottom line seemed perennially poised to sag. These days, though, Martin feels as if he finally has his feet firmly un- derneath him on the store front. “The fourth year is the year you're supposed to make a million dollars, right?” asked Martin with a laugh. “It won’t happen, but that’s alright.” When Martin took over the grocery operation on the main Employees at Country Corner Market in Rochester help a customer on Thursday.

2A Baseball Bearcats Go Off in Fourth to Pound Aberdeen EVCO: W.F. West Scores 15 Runs in Long Fourth Inning, White Efficient in 18-0 Win Over Bobcats By Aaron VanTuyl [email protected] The only concern about Brandon White’s performance on Thursday was the amount of time he had to let his arm cool off in the fourth inning. White, W.F. West’s big junior right-hander, cruised through the Aberdeen lineup four times — facing just two batters over the minimum — and was only in notable peril once. Between his fourth and fifth innings on the mound, though, he had over 40 minutes to hang around — thanks to the 15 runs his teammates put up in what wound up being an 18-0, five inning Evergreen 2A Conference win in Chehalis. “He convinced me he wanted to finish this thing out,” Bearcat
