While Ventura was finishing her son’s haircut Tuesday afternoon, another walk-in customer came through the door wanting a Seahawks cut. Matt Amoroso, Winlock, brought in his 8-year-old son Cameron for the popular haircut. Amoroso said he heard about Jae’s Barber shop from a friend and decided to make the trip from Winlock. “This guy I went to school with, all of his kids got it done,” Pete Caster / [email protected] Amoroso said. Mary Ventura, at Jae’s Barbershop in Centralia, cuts a Seahawks logo into the side of her son Joseph’s head at the barbershop on Tuesday afternoon.

Most recently, he was the executive director of the Gif- ford Pinchot Task Force, a non- profit organization that protects and restores the national forest around Mount St. Helens and Mount Adams. On Dec. 9, he resigned to campaign full time. During his visit with the Lewis County Democrats Thurs- day, Dingethal spent time an- swering questions, most of which were related to the economy. It all goes back to education, he told the 20 attendees. “The United States’ current graduation rate — 68 percent — is abysmal,” Dingethal said. “How do you built an economy when you have people who don’t graduate from high school?” Schools need to teach trades for students not on the college- track; having skilled technicians in the U.S. is the only way to slow outsourcing, he said. Tradesmen, he said, boost the economy and support the country’s way of life. “You can’t build a strong economy without a middle class,” Dingethal said. “We need to keep manufacturing here. It makes no sense to me to cut a tree in the Gifford Pinchot, have it sent to China to be made into plywood and then sent back here to be sold in a Home Depot.” “Plus,” he went on, “just try calling a plumber in India.” Increasing the minimum wage would be a band-aid, not a cure, for the middle class’s financial woes, according to the candidate. “It’s a palliative measure that soothes things along the way, and that’s good. But we have to do so much more, and in my mind, it’s education,” he said. A hefty increase also could threaten small businesses, he said. One attendee on Thursday wanted to know about Dingeth- al’s campaign strategy and “how (he) might win?” A grassroots effort, he told her. “It’s different than for Jaime (Herrera Beutler), who has huge amounts of money pouring in from all over the country,” he said. “For me, I’m not going to be able to raise $2 million, but there are certain things in my favor.

Both Brent and Grant scored all our points in the first quarter." King's Way struck back in the second quarter and trailed just 29-25 heading into the break.

NFL Seahawks Title Could Ease Seattle’s Miserable past LONG-SUFFERING Seahawks Fans ‘Deserve to Be There’ By Tim Booth The Associated Press SEATTLE — Standing in the middle of the locker room, nod- ding his head to the beat of the music thumping with bone shak- ing bass, Ben Haggerty absorbed the scene. As he shook hands with players and coaches who for the most part lacked association to Seattle other than employment as members of the Seahawks, Haggerty watched the chaos around him with special appreciation as a hometown native. Better than most, Haggerty knew how special the moment was as the Seahawks celebrated winning an NFC title and getting to the Super Bowl, because they happen so infrequently in Seattle. “This is the team. At the beginning of the year, preseason, it was like this was the team to do it,” said Haggerty, a Seattle native better known to his millions of fans as Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist Macklemore. “All these guys, the defense, Russ, Pete, everybody, it’s been an amazing year to watch. We deserve to be there.” The last sentence Mackl- emore uttered is the one that is so rare in Seattle. This is the region of jets and technology, of guitar riffs and coffee. It’s not a place where expecting championships is the norm, because there’s been so much disappointment in the past.

NFL MLB Seattle Promotes Mather to Team President SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Mariners promoted Kevin Mather to team president and chief oper- ating officer on Friday, replacing Chuck Armstrong, who is retiring at the end of the month.

Local Author Tells Story of Finding

Pete Caster / [email protected] Local author, Tanya Phillips, poses for a portrait at her home in Hope in Chehalis on Tuesday afternoon. Change By Karen Frazier For The Chronicle

hen Tanya Chapman Phillips began writing her first novel, she did it out of a desire to tell a story that had beenW rattling around in her brain. Initially, it was a personal project. However, after receiving positive feedback from friends and family, Chapman decided to self-publish. She did so last year through Au- thor House. The book, “And Then I Danced in a Yellow Dress”, was a true labor of love. “The book is really about the changes we go through,” Chapman notes. The novel follows Beverly Brown, who isn’t in a very good place in her life. Relationship problems, difficult adult children, and judg- mental family members all add to the stress in Bev’s life, and she has withdrawn to the safety of a personal cocoon. “Bev is in her 40s — like a lot of us are when we realize our life isn’t exactly what we want it to be,” Chapman says. “Because of things that have happened, she’s created a shell around herself. She’s not really willing to put herself out there.” According to Chapman, Bev’s life begins to change with something small — a haircut. The haircut is a small change that sparks a cascade of bigger changes in her life. The book jacket description reads in part, “It is not a romance but there is love. It is not religious, but there is spiritual conflict. It is not a comedy, though there is humor.” Instead, “And Then I Danced in a Yellow Dress” shines a spotlight on a woman undergoing the process of change by rediscover- ing a passion for life that had been long dormant. Chapman admits there are parts of her own experiences in Bev’s, but denies the character is autobiographical. “There are so many people who have read it who think Bev is me, but she’s not.” Chapman says. “Bev is like me in that I know how to write about a person who thinks and feels like me, but the situations she finds herself in aren’t all from my life.” Instead, Bev is an amalgamation of women Chapman has known and observed throughout her life. Bev’s struggles are representative of theirs. About the Book “The book is very real,” Chapman continues, noting real Chapman was serving as the Program Coor- life isn’t always neatly tied up with the hero driving off into Title: dinator for the Lewis County’s Court Appointed the sunset. “It’s hopeful, but it’s realistic.” Special Advocates/Guardian Ad Litem (CASA- “And Then I Danced in a Yellow GAL) program when she began writing the story.

Large molehills (30 to 40) inches in diameter or areas of intensive mound building activity are probably nesting sites. Nest cavities average 9 inches in diameter and about 6 inches in height. Normally, three or four runways lead into the nest. Moles build nests of grasses or moss with a dry, inner pocket surrounded by wet, coarser grasses. Nests normally occur 5 to 18 inches under ground level. Although it may seem as though there are dozens of moles invading your lawn, there are likely only one or two. In general, they are at densities of only one to three per acre. Being loners, except during the breeding season, there’s no question that in most home lawns, a few moles are raising a lot of turf. Unfortunately the mole is here to stay. Extermina- tion is impractical. Trapping has been illegal in Wash- ington State since the passage of Initiative 713 in 2000. Ironically it’s not illegal to sell mole traps, but using them is. The use of deterrents, which include obnoxious substances like castor oil, Lysol and mothballs at best simply temporarily drive the animal elsewhere to find new hunting grounds. Initial research on several of the newer poisonous baits that are designed to look and supposedly taste like earthworms, suggests that moles found them to be less than appetizing. In one experiment, live earthworms were “smeared” on the artificial bait worms to enhance their attractiveness and still the moles pushed them aside. In the end, the baited worms slowly dissolved away into the soil and the moles continued to inhabit the runs. Even the ever popular “Mole Plants” (Euphoria lath- yris), which are frequently advertised as being effective mole repellents, have not proven to be effective in scien- tific studies. These plants are notorious for being prolific seed producers which can quickly invade an entire garden if not kept in check. Moles will respond to changes in food supply as different insects become available in different places and at different times throughout the year. If disturbed, moles may temporarily leave an area, but will usually return when you least expect it. Even without disturbance, mole activity may last only a week or two in a particular area. This “here today, gone tomorrow” behavior is probably the root of most of the misconceptions that make some home remedies appear credible. ••• Donald Tapio is a WSU Extension Regional Specialist Emeritus.
