Washington $1,200 Bouquet of Roses in Chehalis Keeps Moving Toward New College Savings Plan SEATTLE (AP) — While Washington's prepaid tuition program remains on hold, the state took small steps toward opening a second college savings plan this week. The Senate Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday passed a bill that would establish a more traditional 529 savings plan. When the committee that runs Washington's prepaid tuition program met on Thursday, members discussed more details about how that new program might be set up. But they took no action. Betty Lochner, the director of the Guaranteed Education Tuition program, said officials would be able to take the next steps when the committee meets on April 20 because it would likely know by then if Senate Bill 6601, which would create the savings plan, passes. Meanwhile, nearly $164 mil- Pete Caster / [email protected] lion in refunds have been processed for Washington's prepaid A specially-ordered bouquet of a dozen roses with each individual lower wrapped in a $100 bill is prepared by Jangle Hillker, a lorist at Benny’s Florist and Green- house, on Friday afternoon in Chehalis.

Hudson’s Bay mon ground," said Chris Gibson, the 2A SPSL president and athletic director at White River. River Ridge will continue to compete with three of the schools in the current league — Clover Park, Orting and Steila- coom. "We were pleased that we were still able to be in there with Stei- lacoom and Clover Park," North Thurston Public Schools athletic director Rich Yelenich said. "Those are probably our two closest league schools. "Everybody did what they had to do to make this thing work." Of the other four schools in River Ridge's division, three — Highline, Renton and Tyee — come from the 2A Seamount League, which will dissolve at the end of this school year. Ea- tonville, a current member of the 1A Evergreen Conference, was reclassified to 2A. Gibson said this alignment will be re-evaluated in two years, and any necessary changes will be made. North Thurston Public Schools' eventual goal is to move River Ridge into the 3A classification so it could join a league with the other two schools in the district — North Thurston and Timberline. Those two schools will join the 3A South Sound Conference in the fall. The district school board voted unanimously in November to adopt boundary changes that are intended to balance enrollment among the three high schools. "The forecast is that River Ridge will be up in the solid 3A numbers," Yelenich said. Pete Caster / [email protected] "Whether that's in two years or W.F.

Ocosta kept within striking distance in the third quarter and took the lead on a layup by Bjornsgard, 35-34, going into the fourth quarter.

Harry Truman’s Lodge Featured Player Piano, Whiskey and Cats

Submitted by Doris Bier / for Our Hometowns This 1952 photo was taken in front of Harry Truman’s Lodge on Spirit Lake at Mount St. Helens. The lodge had a player piano, lots of whiskey and cats. Truman lived in the lodge and rented cabins to visitors. Truman lost his life in the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, and nothing was left of the lodge or Harry. Pictured in the photo are Nancy and Linda Bier, Rochester residents who were 3 and 4 years of age when this photo was taken. They were visiting the area with their parents, Doris and Clayton Bier.
