Centralia College Toledo Students Hope a Realistic Optimistic About Scene Creates Safer Driving Habits Fall Enrollment Numbers, Efforts By The Chronicle After experiencing a decrease in enrollment, officials at Centralia College reported numbers are rising for the spring and fall se- mesters. Robert Cox, vice president of Student Ser- vices, told the college’s board of trustees that the recruitment and marketing campaign for new students is producing positive results. “It’s been very doom and gloom it seems like since I started here in terms of enrollment,” he said. “It’s been dropping fast and we’ve been doing so much to try to turn that around and we continue to do a lot.” Spring and fall application trackers show the numbers of future students are increasing. For the spring term, the college has more applications than it did this time last year, but Cox said the real indicator is the fall application tracker.

The church began offering its brand of high-priced spiritual retreats near the end of January, and complaints from unhappy or dissatisfied participants started making the rounds on the Inter- net almost immediately thereaf- ter.

Appeals Court Miniature Horse From Toledo Brings Therapeutic Services to Seniors Orders New Sentence in 2014 Lewis County Drug Conviction

By The Chronicle A recent Washington State Court of Appeals decision has upheld a Lewis County man’s 2014 conviction for selling methamphetamine, but has ordered him to be resentenced, ruling that the trial court abused its discretion during sentencing. Eugene Lee Kolb was convicted in 2014 for delivery of a controlled substance with special verdicts for selling the drug within 1,000 feet of school grounds and a school bus stop. He was arrested on those charges after selling methamphetamine to a confidential informant in December 2013.

The opinion upholds Kolb’s conviction and the sentencing enhancement for selling drugs within 1,000 feet of school property. However, it did not uphold the enhancement for selling drugs near a school bus stop. Celebrate According to the court’s opinion, the state, represented by the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office, conceded that there was insufficient evidence to uphold St. Patricks Day! the second enhancement. However, the appeals court ruled that the trial court “abused its discretion” both by failing to consider a lower sentence and by imposing a requirement for a substance abuse evaluation without finding formally that substance abuse played a role in the crime. The appeals court vacated Kolb’s sentence, and ordered a new sentencing hearing. May you ind a little News in Brief in every bottle!

Bryana Peters, a junior with Two Hands on the Wheel, said just seeing the wrecked cars before acting in the mock crash scared her.

By Manya Brachear Pashman Chicago Tribune GLENVIEW, Ill. — Aasiyah Bhaiji knew the boys in her class were just clowning around, but their words stung just the same. As they headed inside from an ultimate Frisbee game at Spring- man Middle School in Glenview, Illinois, one of them wrapped his team’s colors around his head like a turban. “Are you trying to go Mus- lim style, terrorist style?” his buddy asked. Aasiyah’s stomach burned. “Stop it,” she snapped. “You can’t tell me he doesn’t look like Osama bin Laden,” the kid shot back, Aasiyah would later recall. She explained to a friend later why she took offense, even though the boys hadn’t di- rectly insulted her. “My religion is me,” Aasiyah said.

‘The Major,’ His Son and the Family Dog

Submitted by Bernadette Gardner-John / for Our Hometowns Joseph H. Gardner, “The Major,” is pic- tured in this 1951 photo with his son Joseph. They’re shown in the strawber- ry patch with a hay ield behind them. “The Major” was in the Fighting 69th Infantry Division, Army, and worked for Gen. George S. Patton in Europe. After the war he and his wife, Sylvia, bought a farm on Logan Hill and “The Major” registered the brand “Lazy J” in 1949. They raised cattle, pigs, horses and 5,000 white leghorn chickens. For ield crops they had 40 acres of strawberries and when the strawberries froze, in 1953, they switched to oats. The couple had three children, Joseph F. Gardner, Sylvia S. Swanson and Bernadette G.
