On Thursday, the first ever diving expedition to the bot- tom of the pool was conducted. Despite limited visibility, Mayor Wayne Fournier and the rest of the dive team discovered a large steam engine used for mining. “I’m certainly hoping it is old steam equipment to put in the museum,” Fournier said when he surfaced after touching the large metal implement. After another trip down, he surfaced from his 75-foot dive and yelled for the local historian and president of the South Thur- ston County Historical Society Rich Edwards.

Twin Transit originally planned to demolish the old J and L Building, located at 415 N. Pearl St., and renovate the union building to serve as their new of- fices. However, after the contrac- tor hired to demolish the J and L Building began work on Monday to separate the two buildings, he discovered the union building had structural issues that were impossible to see during the ini- tial inspection, said Twin Transit General Manager Rob LaFontaine. The south wall has several problems, including loose mor- tar and crumbling bricks. The building’s electrical systems would have to be updated and Graham Perednia the floor would have to be raised / [email protected] to prevent flooding.

What could possibly cause a human to get into a van and run down people doing nothing but enjoying their day, peacefully walking along the sidewalk? What rationale for that behavior in civilized society could suggest those actions were in any way morally acceptable? It’s not civilized. In Charlottesville, Virginia, Nazis and white supremists clashed with counter protesters, and some idiot drove a car into the crowd and killed a young woman. I didn’t hear anyone support the nut bag so- called alt-right, but I continue to hear them lumped in with people like me who are con- servative. On the other side is the so called Antifa (apparently short for anti-fascists) group. They all apparently can only be described as something morally wonderful, or we’re racist.

And who gets to decide what is and isn’t a COMMENTARY: Shrinking Supply legitimate reason to protest? Is it those campus crybabies who really are acting like fascists by shutting down free speech? Neo-Nazi hate groups who would do the same thing and more? Who then?

Continued from Sports 1 game of a 12-game trip. MLB Statcast has been mea- suring home runs only in the last three seasons. Some players doubt the validity of the mea- surements, and some of the Mar- iners had doubts whether it was even Cruz’s longest homer. But catcher Mike Zunino, who had two doubles and drove in two runs, said “you could have told me 500 (feet) and I would have believed it.” Cruz acknowledged that he “squared it up pretty good, yeah.” Erasmo Ramirez won his first game for the Mariners since April 1, 2014. Ramirez, who was traded back to the Mariners on July 28 after pitching 2 1/2 seasons with the Rays, gave up one run and two hits in six innings, leaving the game with a 6-1 lead. “It feels weird because it’s no more than a month, but ... we have to fight for the playoffs so I cannot just come in here and give up,” Ramirez (5-4) said. “I have a lot of friends on the other side, but at the same time it’s a game and I have to play for my team at this moment.” CHRIS O’MEARA / The Associated Press Hits by Robinson Cano, Cruz, Seattle Mariners’ Mike Zunino follows through on his two-run double off Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Austin Pruitt during the fourth inning of a baseball game Friday in St. Danny Valencia and Ben Gamel Petersburg, Fla.

Carta-Samuels points out he came from a run-heavy high school offense at Bellarmine Prep in Saratoga, California, so his exposure in the pass game was limited. Two years ago, as a redshirt freshman at the UW, he was thrust into starting duty when Browning was sidelined by a shoulder injury. It came against then-No. 10 Stanford. He completed nine of 21 passes for 118 yards. He rushed for a touchdown in the SAMSUNG GALAXY SALE Huskies’ 31-14 loss. Last season, his only playing time came off the bench. His first pass was a 4-yard touch- AS LOW AS down against Rutgers. But he only attempted 13 passes the en- tire season. And yet, in this fall camp, Carta-Samuels has looked like a vastly-improved passer. $ “I want to say it’s experience,” 3 per month Carta-Samuels said. “I think also (it’s) confidence in my stroke. I am very confident in the way I am throwing the ball. ... When AUGUST 10–27 you feel like that, when you feel like you can throw the ball any- where at any time, it is a pretty powerful feeling.” That confidence has certainly caught the attention of Petersen, who offered high praise about the 6-foot-2, 221-pounder. “He should be brimming with confidence — he’s played well.
