The National Weather Ser- vice in Seattle has issued a winter storm warning that replaces a winter storm watch for the Cascade passes that began late Friday night and ends 6 a.m. Sunday. Forecasters expect 12 to 20 inches to fall in the passes, including White Pass, with snow becoming heavy at times and possibly impacting travel.

It looks like it will be that way for the foreseeable future, meaning if you want to see James Franco and Seth Rogen take down Kim Jong-Un on the silver screen this weekend — you’re going to have to travel out of town. Coming Attractions Theatres, which owns 15 theaters, including Midway Cinema in the Lewis County Mall, has responded to multiple inquiries on its Face- book page regarding the controversial movie “The Interview,” stating that a decision by Sony Pictures Entertainment to allow some theaters to show the controversial movie after pulling it last week came too late for them.

“We may in the future, but not Damian Dovarganes / The Associated Press at this time,” the company stated A Dec. 17 photo shows a movie poster for the movie "The Interview" on display outside the AMC Glendora 12 movie theater, in Glendora, Calif.

Then she turned around and gave it all, totaling $500 in value, to the Lewis County Animal Shelter on Wednesday. The sixth-grader at Napavine Elementary School has a self- proclaimed “soft spot” for animals and expressed a desire to volunteer at the shelter, which largely relies on donations and volunteer time from the public to keep its operations going. But she can’t do so until she turns 14, so she did the next best thing. Mekinsy and her family all stopped by the shelter on Christ- mas Eve to drop off bags of food, pellets for heating, chew and squeak toys and more for the cats and dogs at the shelter. “I already have everything I need, and I really wanted to help out the shelter,” the rather shy 12-year-old said.

This mosaic image provided by NASA made from photographs taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover looks to the west of the Kimberley waypoint on the rover's route to the base of Mount Sharp. The mountain lies to the left of the scene. Sets of sandstone beds all incline to the south, indicating progressive build-out of sediment toward Mount Sharp. These inclined beds are overlain in the background by horizontally bedded ine-grained sandstones that likely represent river deposits.

And in Michigan, both a nativity set and Satanic Temple display were allowed once the door was opened to religious displays. The Washington state Capitol had its turn in the spotlight in 2008 when atheists, Christians, Jews and controversial groups such as the Westboro Baptist Church vied for space inside the Legislative Building. An atheist’s display was stolen that year, though later recovered from a Seattle radio station, and the long list of groups wanting displays eventually prompted a moratorium and rule change that banished religious displays to limited outdoor areas of the Capitol Campus lawn. This year, the Freedom From Religion Foundation didn’t put up its atheist display, but the Chabad Jewish Discovery Center once again installed its electric- No Endangered Listing for Prized Pinto Abalone SEATTLE (AP) — The Na- tional Marine Fisheries Service has declined to list a prized 6-inch Pacific Ocean marine snail as an endangered or threatened species. The federal agency announced this week that its status review found that the pinto abalone is not currently in danger of extinction and does not warrant federal protection under the En- dangered Species Act at this time. Pinto abalone, valued for its delicate flavor and mother-of- pearl shell, are found from Alas- ka to Baja California. Two conservation groups pe- titioned the agency in July 2013 to conduct a status review for pinto abalone. The mollusks need federal protection because their popula- tions have plummeted from 80 to 99 percent in much of their range, according to the Natural Re- sources Defense Council and the Center for Biological Diversity.

2A Wrestling Bailey Focused for Tacoma Dome CHAMPIONSHIP DRIVE: Three State Trophies, Two Finals Appearances Give Kyzer Bailey a Clear Goal in His Senior Year By Brandon Hansen [email protected] While wrestling season cli- maxes at the Tacoma Dome every year, it doesn’t show the whole story of the individual parts of the sport. It doesn’t show the hard work that a wrestler puts in day in and day out, and the only way an outsider can really follow who’s who is the state rankings. You could call it the BCS of the sport. The state wrestling rankings can serve as a target for someone to reach and also put a target on someone’s back. Ask senior Centralia wrestler Kyzer Bailey — who has placed at the State 2A tournament the past three years — and he’ll tell you he’s not taking aim anymore. “During my sophomore year, I put a lot of my attention on those rankings,” he said. “I kept checking to see if ‘oh am I No. 1?’ and that set me up for failure. So I really don’t pay much attention to them anymore.” Brandon Hansen / [email protected] Centralia’s Kyzer Bailey is currently ranked No. 2 in the State 2A ranks for the 220-pound wrestling weight class. The senior has placed three times at the state tourna- please see BAILEY, page S4 ment and is looking for the ultimate prize — a wrestling championship — this year.

NBA College Football Blazers Blow Past 76ers PORTLAND (MCT) — The Trail Blazers continued to succeed every which way imagin- able Friday night, using a barrage of three-pointers, a surplus of players and a new lineup to de- feat the Philadelphia 76ers 114- 93 at the Moda Center. The Blazers won for the seventh time in the last eight games, claiming their 24th victory of the season — the most in the NBA. And even though they were playing the lowly 76ers (4-24), who have the fewest wins in the league, the victory was impressive considering the Blazers (24- 7) played without two starters and their most prolific rotation player. They overcame their limita- tions by bombing away on Phila- delphia, making a season-high 18 three-pointers to establish a franchise record for long-range success and attempts.

Pro Sports Cleveland Reaches 50 Years of Sports Futility By Tom Withers The Associated Press CLEVELAND — For this golden anniversary, there won’t be any gifts exchanged or cham- pagne-sipping celebrations. There’s no reason to party or toast these 50 years, a half-centu- ry of sports suffering and failure best forgotten. This Saturday will mark the 50th anniversary of Cleveland’s last pro sports championship when the Browns beat the heav- ily favored Baltimore Colts 27-0 to win the NFL title, the last for the franchise and the city. Since then, the Browns, Indians and Cavaliers have gone a combined 141 seasons without winning it all. That’s five decades. That’s 18,262 days. That’s a long time. “It’s hard to believe,” Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown said. “Because when you look back at 50 years, something’s wrong, because somebody should’ve figured out something. ...

By The Chronicle Photographs are much more than images created to accom- pany newspaper articles. In many cases, photographs tell stories by themselves, cap- turing a powerful moment and freezing it in time for viewing by future generations. Many of the photographs found in this collection of work by Chronicle Visuals Editor Pete Caster fit that description. They show light-hearted mo- ments of life in Lewis County along with depictions of turmoil and tragedy. They show the simple act of living at its very best and its very worst. Above all, they represent a reflection of life in the greater Lewis County area. At The Chronicle, we strive to present readers with the news as it is, not as we would like it to be. We take great pride in chron- icling the successes of our area, and we are mindful of the great responsibility of documenting the failures when they unfortu- antely occur.

Workers from Grant’s Towing attempt to pull a semi-truck out of the ditch as chunks of corn on the cob sit in a ield along state Route 6 after the truck spilled its load when attempting to avoid a collision at the intersection of Curtis Hill Road on Tuesday, April 1, in Adna. The driver of the truck, who asked not to be identiied, explained that he swerved out of the way of a vehicle that was stopped in the intersection. He noted that he was forced to choose between hitting the car or putting his truck in the ditch. Over half of his load of corn spilled into a ield when his truck hit the ditch. Traic was stopped in both directions for nearly a half hour as crews from Grant's Towing and the Washington State Department of Transportation worked to remove the truck from the ditch. The displaced corn was picked up by a crew hired by the trucking company later in the day.

Coachman’s Sleigh

Used for riding over snow and ice, instead of wheels, the sleigh glides on curved stripes called runners. This sleigh was driven by a coachman and used for driving in the park on a sunny afternoon to show off the passengers and horses. The sleigh was intrinsically restored to match its original condition including the detailed iron- work, pin striping, hand-painted deer on the front and back, with hand carved eagles detailing the front. The sleigh proudly displays a Stroock Robe for warmth, a foot warmer and the ever famous sleigh bells — necessities for a winter ride. This is one of two sleighs, proudly displayed among the collection of 27 horse drawn vehicles at the Northwest Carriage Museum in Raymond.

To learn more, please visit nwcarriagemuseum.org or call (360) 942-4150 for hours of operation or to arrange a tour!

Laurie Bowman, director, and Jerry Bowman, curator, stand next to a Brewster Summer Coupe Brougham at the Northwest Carriage Museum in Raymond. The museum houses one of the best collections of historic horse-drawn vehicles in the country. Laurie manages the museum while Jerry does restorations and historical Pictures courtesy of the Northwest Carriage Museum research.
