Sets of 13-25, 24-26, 25-21, 25-22, and 15-9 gave the Warriors the match. “Going down 0-2 was a little worrisome,” admit- ted Head Coach Staci Mi- ethe. “But I knew the pres- sure was on them. We had nothing to lose, so I told the girls, play all out; make them earn it. And they stepped up and became the team I have known them to be.” “We played hard and scrappy,” said defensive setter Noel O’Bryan, a senior. “We didn’t get down on ourselves. And what also helped was that we had such tre- mendous fan support.” The Warriors, with a Bruce Dustin/The Columbia Press 4-2 record, were to host Avree Miethe, Leah Schiewe, and 4-1 Rainier on Tuesday, Natalie Osegura go up to block a shot.

We both felt as if no one wanted to deal with us.” Dutton and his wife pur- chased and donated a con- crete bench for Barnett to use as a community project me- morializing her father. “I just felt compelled to do it,” Dutton said. “I have kind of a patriotic streak, I guess. I knew he was a Pearl Harbor survivor and there are not very many of them left.” Thanks to Velva Bradish, Port Lite Cafe manager, the bench was placed outside her restaurant at Camp Rilea, where Barnett already cares for the planters. “The man was in Pearl Har- bor, he fought for what we stand for today and he de- serves to be recognized for what he’s done,” Bradish said. “I wanted something Donna could go to besides generosity of both lo- cal business owners. “My dad would be so happy,” she said. “I can finally get some closure and also have a place to visit Dad in the most appropriate location for him on this planet. I cannot Donna Burnett with her father, Spurgeon begin to describe the Keeth, and a granddaughter shortly be- loving ‘soldier thera- fore his death. py’ that Dad received, her home where she could and still is, from his Camp Rilea buddies. I am so thank- remember her father.” Barnett was touched by the ful.” 5 Woman cited for transient camp in park The Columbia Press A woman who was given six hours to move her belong- ings from Robinson Commu- nity Park failed to do so and her items were thrown away. She also was cited for crimi- nally offensive littering. A resident who lives near the park called police about 11 a.m. Sept. 28 when it looked like a woman was set- ting up a camp in the park, according to a police report. A police officer contacted the camper and recognized her as a woman who has been asked to move from other places in town. He told her she had to remove her belongings by 5 p.m. and couldn’t “keep setting up camps on property that does not belong to her,” according to the report. When the officer returned at 5 p.m., the woman was gone, but her stuff was still there. He returned at 5:50 and the items still were there. A city crew was called to discard the woman’s belongings. At 7:15 p.m., the woman went to the police depart- ment and wanted to retriever her possessions and said “she felt like we were harassing her,” according to the report. Natasha Ann Fleming, 36, no known address, was cited for offensive littering and giv- en an Oct. 16 court date.
