COLLABORATION: Police Hope to Be Proactive With Help From Communities By Natalie Johnson [email protected] When a home is burglar- ized, or a vehicle is broken into, the police can only do so much without the community’s help. “The only way we’re going to solve these vehicle prowls is to have people be our eyes and ears,” said Cmdr.

They’re planning to launch the operation with a unique twist. They hope to use hops grown on their farm in their brews. Tim and Mirinda Moriarty moved to Lewis County from California in 2014 and fell in love with the area. They decided to start working toward opening Jones Creek Brewing. The couple own a 10-acre farm across the street from Tim Moriarty’s sister’s land. He said they may work together to grow grain for the beers there, while he hopes to cultivate hops that grow in the area. Both properties are around 1 mile east of Pe Ell. While hops in Washington state are generally associated with the east side of the moun- tains, Tim Moriarty said there’s Pete Caster / [email protected] a certain variety that survived Tim Moriarty, who co-owns Jones Creek Brewing, puts up a wall in what will become the Jones Creek Brewing building on Thursday afternoon outside of Pe Ell.

MATT BAIDE / [email protected] W.F. West’s Julia Johnson pressures Black Hills’ Emma Duff (22) as teammates Kiara Steen (31) and Shasta Lofgren (5) look on Friday night at St. Martin’s University. Bearcats

Continued from Sports 1

It was a much-improved performance for the Bearcats against their Evergreen 2A Con- ference rivals, after a pair of double-digit losses during the regular season. The Wolves (21- 1) turned the ball over 21 times, shot 25 percent from the floor and were kept under 40 points for the first time all season. “We frustrated them,” Kelly said. “We really put some pres- sure on them, and they didn’t like it.” The Bearcats, however, didn’t do themselves any favors in the first quarter, failing to score a point and trailing 9-0 after 8 minutes of action. “There’s some opportunities missed there, and coming out like that, that’s what killed us,” Kelly said. “The game was pretty much decided right there.” Not entirely, though. Julia Johnson hit a pair of 3s in the second quarter — after W.F. West missed its first nine at- tempts — and cut the lead to just 2 points at 18-16 going into half- time. And after a 7-0 run to start the third, kicked off by a 3 from Kiara Steen, the Bearcats were actually ahead 23-18. The Wolves finally found their shooting groove, with Lindsey Nurmi, Megan River and Rachel LaBelle knocking W.F.

NBA Little Big Man: Isaiah Thomas a Full-Fledged All-Star By Tim Reynolds The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — Isaiah Thomas isn’t even average. The Boston Celtics list their two-time All-Star point guard at 5-foot-9 — even that is believed to be a bit generous — and 185 pounds. That means Thomas actually is slightly shorter and even a bit lighter than the typical male in the United States, at least based on the latest federal data that tracks such things. So in society, he’s obviously not a big guy. But in the NBA, he’s the little big man right now. Averaging 29.9 points per game and leading Boston to the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Con- ference so far, Thomas is being mentioned by reigning two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors as some- one worthy of consideration for the league’s top individual honor this year. “Nobody in their right mind would have thought that,” Thomas said of his MVP hopes. “At one point I might not have even thought I was going to be the MVP. But now I do. I’m go- ing to keep going. I’m not trying to play for MVP — if it happens it happens, if it doesn’t it doesn’t.
