Amanda will be in three events, while Athena, nursing a hamstring injury, will be in one.C o l u m b i a n s t a ff w r i t e rAmanda and Athena Alvarezare just a tad bit competitive.Usually, the twins fromColumbia R iver tr y to avoidone -on-one battles in athletics.They are better of f workingtogether to push the ball downfieldon the same soccer team.They provide encouragementto each other in gymnastics, aswell, an act that was rewardedwith a team championshipat the state meet.Even in track andfield, they usually excelin dif ferent events.U s u a l l y .But there is oneevent that puts them upagainst each other.Amanda is the moreaccomplished triplejumper. Athena got alate start in the event. But theyare close. Close enough, in fact,that Athena has beaten hersister once this season.“Bad meet,” A manda claimed.“It was a great meet,” Athenacountered.“It was horrible. The worstmeet of my life,” Amandareported.Then Athena gave her closingargument: “It was awesome.”This past weekend, Amandawas back on top, setting a meetrecord at the Class 3A bi-districtas she advanced to the statemeet. Athena finished in secondplace and also advanced tostate.A manda qualified in twoother events, as well — the longjump and the 100 hurdles. Athena,battling a right hamstringproblem, had to settle for triplejump. She is an alternate in thehigh jump. A nd both of themwill have competed at state allfour years of high school.This week in Tacoma, thesisters, three -sport athletes forthe Chieftains, will completetheir high school careers.W hen it is all over, they willhave combined for 20 varsityletters. In perfect symmetry,they have earned 10each — two in soccer,four in gymnastics,and four in track andfield.“It ’s the saddestweek ever,” Athenasaid. “I’m going to cryat the banquet. I’mexcited for state, but Iwant five more weeksof track. I’m ready forschool to be over, but not track.”It is the end of the AlvarezSisters Era. Or, would that bethe end of the Alvari Era, anickname they have picked up,a faux plural to A lvarez? ( Youknow, like cactus, cacti).It is for high school, anyway.The two will remain teammatesat Seattle Pacific University.Because even with the intensityof their triple jump rivalry,the bottom line is the two areinseparable. They’re not justsisters; they’re best friends.“ We never spent more thana night apart from each other,”A manda said.“And we freaked out,” Athenasaid, recalling that night.2x 3 =A l v a r iAlvarez sisters have starred in track and field,g y mnastics and soccer at Columbia Riverprint editionH IGH SC H OOL SPORTSC hris Hayes went 100 milesout of his way just for thechance to run 200 meterslast week.It was worth ever y gallon ofgas.Hayes, a senior at Camas,was on his way home early fromthe Class 3A bi-district trackand field meet in Tacoma onSaturday, excited about qualif y-ing for state in three events, butdisappointed that he missed outin his best event.A fter his blocks slipped inhis 200-meter preliminary heat,Hayes stumbled at the start andnever recovered. When all wassaid and done, he was the fourthalternate.In other words, he was done,right?Well, maybe not. More onthat later.Instead of moping about hismisfortune in the 200, Hayesrefocused and qualified forstate in the 100, the long jump,and the 400 relay. All of thosefinals were before the 200, sohe figured he would get out ofTacoma early and caught a ridewith his parents.About 50 miles down theroad, Camas sprint coach BobHolman called Hayes and toldhim there was a chance, albeitsmall, that Hayes could still runin the finals of the 200. At thetime, two people had scratchedfrom the finals, leaving sixathletes.OK , for this meet, seven goon to state. So with only six inthe finals, that left one opening.A nd the standing operatingprocedure was to have a runof fwith several alternates. Withone spot open for state, threealternates were scheduled torun off for that spot. Of course,at No. 4, that still left Hayes outof position.Still, Hayes prepared like hewould be racing.“ W hen I got there, I stretchedin the car,” Hayes said. “I had 15minutes to get ready and run.”He needed one more of thesix in the finals to scratch or bedisqualified. It was a little weirdfor Hayes, because as a competitor,he wanted in the finals. Itwas his best event, and he onlydid not make the finals becausehis blocks slipped. On the otherhand, it can be dif ficult to rootfor someone else to make am is t a ke .Crack. The gun goes off.Crack, another shot fired.False start? Was Hayes in?Nope.

She wascantankerous and unpredictable, as Ilearned many times while living onthe Kenai Peninsula.My parents had divorced and itwas Dad’s time to have custody ofme. He had applied and had beengranted a homestead in Ninilchick,Alaska. This was bareland that had to have improve -ments done by a scheduledtime line over a period ofyea rs.Nelly started pulling the wagonwith my possessions backof f the main graveled roadtoward a world unknownto most, even at that time. Itwas a very narrow trail that wefollowed between large Sitkaspruce and cottonwood trees. Ittook about an hour to arrive at thehome site.No buildings were to be seen, justa large army tent. I asked my dadwhere the house was and he pointedat the tent. The plans were to build ahouse on the cleared site to the eastof the tent. I looked towards the siteand could see that many large treeshad been cleared. Nelly was the maindragger of most of the logs. Biggerhelp came with the purchaseof a 6-by-6 truck from theArmy surplus. It not onlydragged the logs but alsocould pull stumps quiten i c e l y .Settling into the tent did nottake long, and then it was time toexplore. My dad let this exploringhappen for a short time before hecalled me over to large pile of wood.He explained that a wood stove andcook stove were in need of being fed.My adventuring was now directed tosplitting the wood and filling the woodbox in the tent.Spruce is not easy to split. It tooka wedge and a sledge to get thingsstarted. The cottonwood was easierand was mostly split with an axe andwas the main fire starter. My handswould soon turn tough but the woodbox would be filled each day afterschool. The other job I was responsiblefor was to carry water from thespring about one mile away. Thisinvolved buckets being carried in myhands that had been calloused fromall the wood splitting. The trail tothe spring was rough. The job was alittle easier in the winter in that Nellypulled a sled back and forth with barrelsfull of water.One water run with Nelly wasHa rd work , advent u re fi l led A lask a n ch i ld hoodC o l u m b i a n s t a ff w r i t e rR IDGEFIELD — As R idgefieldprepares to turn 100 in August, AlleneWodaege is looking forward to theparty of the century.“I really am,” she said. “A community celebrating 100 years is significant.”But the cit y centennial is more thanthat, Wodaege added.“It ’s an opportunit y to bring membersof the greater R idgefield communitytogether, look at their heritage,reconnect and celebrate all the eventsof the past,” Wodaege said. “And it’s achance for us to honor the forefatherswho established this communit y.”That of ficially happened on Aug.20, 1909. According to a newspaperaccount of the day, “the people decidedin favor of incorporation by a vote of 62in favor and 12 against. After the voteswere counted and it was found that thepeople had decided to incorporate andwould henceforth control their ownaf fairs, the church bells were rungand fireworks were exploded and thepeople had a big celebration.”Now it ’s time for another celebration,highlighted by daylong festivitieson Saturday, Aug. 22. The anniversar yweekend actually opens Friday witha picnic from 4 to 7 p.m. at the boatlaunch.Saturday’s events start at 9 a.m. witha volksmarch walk; 10a.m. will mark the startof a wide range of eventsaround town, includingactivities, exhibits, tours,art events and history-and heritage -relatedpresentations.The centennial will belinked with Ridgefield’sannual summer HeritageDays celebration.It’s an appropriatetime to reflect on thecommunit y’s roots, andconsider “the hardshipspeople had to endure insettling the area,” Wo -daege said. Foundersof similar communitiesexperienced similarhardships, but still,“It’s mind-bogglingwhat folks did backt h e n . ”Some of those sto -ries will be part of the celebration.Many will be told by the peoplewho lived them — including a few whono longer are alive.Their stories are among the video -taped memories that bring personalvoices to significant events of the 20thcentur y: World War I, Prohibition andthe Dust Bowl. Those memories arepart of an oral-histor y presentationshown at the communit y center.Steve Seymour, a fifth-grade teacherat South Ridge Elementary School,interviewed several longtime residentsand preser ved memories that nowreach back more than 90 years.A nd there’s plent y of hardshipin their stories, Seymoursaid. A soldier returned homeafter sur viving the combatof W W I, only to find thathis father had died becauseof an infected cut on hishand. Dust Bowl refugeesabandoned their homes andmoved here in search of abetter life.L ongtime residents willshare their memories ina 1:10 p.m. “Old-Timers”panel discussion at thecommunit y center.The stories of otherformer R idgefield residentswill be the focus of a cemeterytour. The stories of those gone -but-notforgottencommunity members will be… well, fleshed out by members of theVancouver Heritage Ambassadors.Many of the stories are more thanjust civic heritage: They representfamily roots.Kay Kammer, city clerk who isworking with the centennial committee,said it’s impressive to see thenumber of families that have been hereas long as they have.A nd some of them go back a lotmore than 100 years. The Carty family,the first to settle here, traces its arrivalto James Carty. He arrived in the areaon a Hudson’s Bay Company ship andfiled a land claim in 1840.“ We’re going to honor families thathave been here 50 or 100 years, andthe list is phenomenal,” Kammer said.“It ’s ver y cool.”K ammer attributes it to “the communityspirit, the hometown charm,the camaraderie.“ They’ve stayed friends, looked outfor one another,” Kammer said. “We’revery fortunate to have the communitywe have.”Tom Vogt: 360-735-4558 ortom.vogt@columbian.com.L O O K I N G F O R W A R D T O 1 0 0 Y E A R S O FA motor vehicle shares Pioneer Avenue with a wagon, parked in front of a blacksmith shop.

Returning the money would letbanks avoid restrictions on executivepay and hiring.Approval for big banks to repay TA R Pfunds could start in early June, a FederalReserve official said on condition ofanonymity because the applications arestill being reviewed.But before big banks can repay apenny and quit the bailout, they mustagree to a price for the warrants thegovernment received in return for theoriginal loan. Those warrants gave thegovernment the option to buy stock at aset price over 10 years.Since the start, a key selling point forthe bailout has been that, as the financialcrisis eased and banks regainedtheir health, taxpayers would get to goalong for the ride and benefit from thestock gains.Bargain for one bankSo far, only one publicly traded bank,Old National in Evansville, Ind., hasbought back its warrants after repayingTA R P funds in March.
