A resident, unaware of a search for a suspect in the area, mistook the sound of the officer for a prowler and emerged from a garage yelling and wielding a hammer. The result was “an unfortunate set of circumstances” that led to Joshua Putman being bitten in the stomach by police dog Reign, according to the Chehalis Police Department. Putman and family members told The Chronicle Friday they don’t believe enough has been done to address the issue. “If my dog bit someone in their house, it wouldn’t be ok,” Putman said. “I’m just kind of

House Bill 2310, sponsored by Kevin Van De Wege, D-Sequim, calls for the sale, purchase and use of consumer fireworks to be prohibited from June 1 to Sept. 30 of this year. It also would require people to get permits to burn outdoors July 1 through Sept. 30, but not allow agencies to permit outdoor burning “unless the burning is necessary to protect life or property, or necessary for the public health, safety or welfare.”

ToledoTel Honored in Corporations for Communities Ceremony Voice of the People

Chronicle readers share their thoughts every day through social media, including Facebook, Twitter and the comment section of Chronline.com. Here are some of the recent highlights of conversation.

Cynthia Sommers: I loved the part about the goat with his face to the rain looking out over his domain. Now he is dead, so he can be mounted on a wall. That’s just beautiful.

Steelers WR Antonio Brown Ruled out Against Broncos

By Ray Fittipaldo Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (MCT) Steelers All-Pro receiver An- tonio Brown will miss the AFC divisional round game against the Denver Broncos Sunday afternoon because of a concussion, the Steelers announced on their Twitter account this morning. Brown, who was concussed late in the fourth quarter of the Steelers’ 18-16 victory against Cincinnati Saturday night, did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. The Steelers were holding out hope that he would be able to practice Friday and play, but Brown did not pass through the NFL concussion protocol in order to be cleared to play. Brown had 16 catches for 189 yards against the Broncos when the teams met last month at Heinz Field.

West coach Jamie Rakevich said. “Our kids took care of business with what was out there.” W.F. West racked up 10 victories out of the 14 matches held. Roehre Cunningham (106), Ethan Lund (120), Jacob Knowles (132), Damon Thomas (145), Mi- chael Matagi (152), Michael An- derson (160), Drew Alexander (182) and Brayden Bostwick (195) all scored victories by pin. Logan Sigler (138) was the lone Bearcat to win by major decision, while Franklin Taylor (113) won by forfeit. Rakevich was especially im- pressed with Cunningham’s performance. “Roehre did great and got the pin against a tough kid. It was solid,” Rakevich said. Like the Thunderbirds, the Bearcats had a couple empty spots to fill in due to illnesses, forcing Alexander and EJ Matagi (170) to move up weight classes for the dual. Rakevich praised both of their performances. “Drew and EJ both moved up to fill some spots and really wrestled tough for us. Overall, the kids went out and did pretty well,” Rakevich said. W.F. West (7-2 in duals) will be traveling to Ellensburg for the Ray Westburg Invite, which starts at 9 a.m. today.

By Patricia Montemurri Detroit Free Press DETROIT — Because their Catholic faith is against same- sex marriage, Bryan Victor and Thomas Molina-Duarte made their wedding vows this summer before a Protestant minister in a Detroit Episcopal church. Those in attendance included many family members, including Victor’s uncle, who is a Catholic priest and Macomb County pastor. The Rev. Ronald Victor did not officiate but was there because, he told his nephew, the Catholic Church “needs more examples of gay holiness.” When Victor and Molina- Duarte attend Mass every Sun- day, the couple go to an east side Detroit Catholic church, where Bryan Victor’s mom and dad join them in the pew. In their shared Catholic faith, Victor and Molina-Duarte find spiritual sustenance. And at their parish, they’ve also found accep- tance. “We remain in the church rather than leaving,” said Bryan Victor, 30, a Wayne State Uni- versity doctoral student in social work. “The reason is that it’s my faith. It’s one of my guides. It’s how I treat people. It gives me a deep sense of community.” Eric Seals / Detroit Free Press The practice of his Catholic Tom Molina-Duarte, left, 28 and husband Bryan Victor, 30, pose for a portrait on Oct. 3 in their Detroit, Mich., home. The couple married in August but had been dating faith, said Molina-Duarte, 29, a four years prior. They say that their Catholic faith is very important to them. “We were driven to our marriage by our faith and not by the marriage equality law,” said leadership coordinator for the Molina-Duarte.
