That’s going to be a major concern two, three and four years down the road.”

For people who study fire ecology, it’s difficult to predict when and where a fire will strike, but they consider it a natural part of the ecosystem. For researchers, it’s easier to understand how a fire will behave once it’s on the ground. In a forest as geographi- cally diverse as the Gifford Pin- chot, officials break the forest into vegetation zones based on moisture and temperature gra- dients.

Longtime Chehalis Plumbing Owner Putting Down the Wrench RETIRING: David Critcher Sells Business After 36 Years; Once Plumbed the Summer Home of Bill Gates By Justyna Tomtas [email protected] After 36 years of running a successful business in Lewis County, David Critcher is looking forward to his retirement. The founder of Chehalis Plumbing decided to start up his own business over three decades ago when his hours started to dwindle due to the economy. Even with the economic slowdown, he decided to take a chance and started his own plumbing company. At first, Chehalis Plumbing consisted of just Critcher working out of his garage. But as the demand grew, he moved his business into town and started working better jobs. He switched from residential jobs to a large percentage of commercial jobs, working on the addition of Morton General hospital, a De- partment of Social and Health Services building in Vancouver, Justyna Tomtas / [email protected] and an assisted living facility in David Critcher, the former owner of Chehalis Plumbing, stand by one of the company's vans.

"If water managers can understand which streams are most vulnerable it helps them target efforts for drought relief," said Chris Konrad, a research hydrol- ogist with the federal agency and the study's project chief. The spring snowpack in the West in 2015 was much lower than long-term averages, and many rivers in the region are now at historically low flows. GUARANTEED What is especially unusual about the low snowpack, Konrad said, is that many areas received to beat average amounts of precipitation. However, it came down as rain rather than snow, meaning it immediately ran through basins rather than forming a high- elevation snowpack that func- VERIZON & AT&T tions as a kind of reservoir slowly melting through the summer to replenish streams.

2A Boys Tennis Bobcats Best Centralia By The Chronicle The Tigers picked up a win in doubles action, but couldn’t muster any additional victories in a 5-1 loss to Aberdeen Friday in nonleague boys tennis action in the Hub City. Ben Kallus and Noah Corwin, in the No. 1 doubles slot, earned the Tigers’ match win with a 6-2, 6-1 defeat of Luis Garcia and Bryen Sidor. “For the first match of the season, I’m really proud of the boys,” Centralia coach Keith Hopkins said. Josh Burritt, who lost 6-2, 6-3 in the No. 2 singles match, played well, Hopkins added. The coach also pointed out that Vance Voetberg, playing his first- ever tennis match, fought hard in a 6-3, 6-4 loss in No. 3 singles action. Centralia (0-1) will host rival W.F. West on Monday at 3:30 p.m.
