Protesters Occupy Hamilton Sign A SHORT GATHERING: About 30 People Danced And Cheered in Support of Transgendered Awareness Monday Morning By Stephanie Schendel [email protected] The consistently conservative Uncle Sam billboard along Interstate 5 in Napavine briefly displayed a mes- sage from the opposite side of the political spectrum Monday morning. Individuals from a regional group who said they ad- vocate for transgender awareness staged a “dance party” on Hamilton Road underneath their banner that read “Transgender health, not fossil fuel wealth.” The banner was draped over the billboard between 9 and 11 a.m. and covered Uncle Sam’s current message of “When did science become subject to political whim?” “There is a lot of traffic that comes through here and this billboard has a reputation for putting up things that Pete Caster / [email protected] are not necessarily kind,” said a woman who would not Jonenao Lee, bottom, along with his wife, Ong Lee, and three other workers pick kai-lan, or Chinese broccoli, at their farm in Ethel on provide her real name, but asked that she be identified Monday morning.

Workers from the Lebanon, Oregon-based Rick Franklin Corp. have been contracted to dismantle 420 intermodal rail cars owned by the Greenbrier Cos. of Lake Os- wego, Oregon. Rick Franklin Corp. senior vice president Jared Cornell said Monday that crews will take the metal from the cars to Cascade Steel Rolling Mills in McMinnville, Oregon, where the scrap will be re- used in other products. Intermodal cars, as they are called in the railroad industry, are the ones that move ship- ping containers along railroad tracks. Cornell said he expected crews from Specialized Metals Recycling, a division of the Rick Franklin Corp., to be on site for “awhile.” The work is taking place on a side track in the light industrial area between State Avenue and Pete Caster / [email protected] Market Boulevard, near Cheha- A welder from the Rick Franklin Corp. slices through the scraps of a rail car on Friday morning in Chehalis. The construction company, based out of Lebanon, Ore., is lis’ Old West Side neighborhood. tasked with the job of deconstructing over 400 train cars and expect to be working on the job until December. Cornell said workers are us- ing two big pieces of equipment, one being a long-reach excava- tor with a magnet and the other, an excavator with a large shear, chewing and tearing through the cars until the job is complete. “It looks like a giant claw and basically acts like a big pair of scissors to tear the cars apart,” Cornell explained. Western Washington Rail- road Co. is bringing 10 cars in per day for removal, Cornell said. The company scraps everything except for the wheels, which go to a Greenbrier shop in Tacoma, and the couplers, which will go to Illinois. The Rick Franklin Corp. pri- marily serves railroads with a variety of services dealing with heavy equipment. The company also functions as an emergency response company in case of a washout or derailment, being called on to rebuild sections of railroad in a pinch. Cornell said the work on the intermodal cars is being done in Chehalis because it eliminates the need to bring them to Lebanon, 70 miles south of Portland, and then back to McMinnville, 60 miles northwest of their home base. “We tend to do it from our home site in Lebanon, but it wouldn’t make sense to bring them down here and bring them back to McMinnville,” Cornell said. Workers from Rick Franklin Corp. use heavy equipment to shred up rail cars for scrap metal in Chehalis on Friday morning.

Newborn Killer Whale Spotted in Puget Sound Waters FIRST SINCE 2012: Orca Is Less Than a Week Old, Researchers Say SEATTLE (AP) — Whale researchers are celebrating the newest member of a population of endangered killer whales that frequent Puget Sound in Wash- ington state. The baby orca spotted over the weekend in waters off San Juan is the population's first calf born since 2012. A researcher saw it swimming between two adult females, most likely the or- ca's mom and aunt, said Ken Bal- comb with the Center for Whale Research, which keeps a census of the whales. The orca is probably less than a week old, he said. Researchers don't know yet whether it's a boy or a girl. The baby is a member of the L pod, one of three extended families of whales that are closely tracked and photographed by re- searchers. Its birth is reason to celebrate, Balcomb said. But he cautioned that orcas are still struggling to recover because of pollution, lack of food and other reasons.

Columns, Celebrations, Voices Community Conversations Voice of the People Amphi Car Glides Along Mayfield Lake

Chronicle readers share their thoughts everyday through social media, including Facebook, Twitter and the comment section of Chronline.com. Here are some of the recent highlights of conversation. Readers react after protesters briefly unfurled a banner in favor of increased funding for transgender issues and oppos- ing fossil fuels over the Hamilton Sign near Napavine Mon- day:

Not even by this summer's scientific results that sparked headlines like, "DNA analysis in- dicates Bigfoot may be a big fake." It turned out that this region was a major contributor of hair samples to the study done at the University of Oxford, hairs thought to come from the elusive being. Washingtonians sent in half of the 20-some samples from the U.S.; there were a total of 57 sam- ples worldwide from alleged yetis and others, and 30 were found good enough to test. After two years of work, out came the results in July, pub- lished in the prestigious Pro- ceedings of the Royal Society B Mark Harrison / The Seattle Times ("B" for biological sciences).
