I found this today through through the TechCrunch RSS and thought, hey it’s Friday, why not. This is not a joke. Its time for the Rock Paper Scissor Championships.
The Rock Paper Scissors World Championship will be held in Toronto on October 13, 2007. The best of the best will come together to be crowned the RPS World Champion.
It turns out the the World RPS Society helps organize events all over the world. They have an online trainer, trading cards and even an RPS Strategy Guide.
Start your training today and get those hands loose. The RPS Challenge is on.
The music scene is alive in Centralia and the surrounding area this weekend. It’s time to get off the couch and head out. Forget about that lousy work week you just had, because the weekend has officially begun!
Choose your flavour: Hip-Hop/Punk/Funk/Country. Only in Lewis County!
Where to Go
Friday:
Start of with a hip-hop battle down at the Hub City Ballroom for the Alder House Hip-Hop Battle II presented by Tim Kennedy Productions. See freestyle performances by The Avenue and Abstrakt, as well as other local artist.
Local band Desensitized Youth will be showing off their raw energy along with The Insurgence and Tim McBride for a Live and Loud show at the Matrix Coffee House in Chehalis on Saturday June 2nd. Desensitized Youth is working on some new stuff right and you can catch a new song at each of their upcoming shows.
Out at the Napavine Amphitheater, Eric Church will be performing. Eric is a promising country star. Show starts at 6pm with gates opening at 3pm.
The Punk Rock Wedding Show at the Hub City Ballroom has been canceled.
Just Added: The Empty Hollow will be playing at Garbes Tavern in Chehalis. Empty Hollow is from Olympia and is working on their first album now. Influences are Tool, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers and others. Check them out now before they blow up.
The Lewis County Transfer Station does recycle most materials, I’ll give them that. But when is the Centralia Transfer Station going to start accepting plastic? Lewis County, which now runs the transfer station, needs to step up and start offering the citizens of this community full recycling.
How Much Plastic Do You Throw Away?
Take alook around your home. Look in your refrigerator, laundry room, or your bathroom. How many of the items in there are plastic that you have to dispose of each and every day? Milk jugs, shampoo containers, laundry detergent, creamer bottles, yogurt containers, soda bottles, water bottles, and the list goes on. All of this stuff gets thrown away, it just ends up in the landfill now.
Collecting Once a Month
Right now the transfer station’s answer is to collection plastics once per month. On the 1st Saturday of every month, the Centralia Transfer station located at 1411 S Tower Ave opens up a container for disposing of plastic. Hours of operations are 7:30am to 5:30pm.
Tell Them to “Go Green”
Let the Centralia Transfer Station know that we are tired of throwing our plastic away. They need to move forward with the proposal to offer curbside recycling for all recyclables. The City of Centralia and the City of Chehalis are proposing 95 gallon containers to place all of the recyclable materials minus glass, that would be picked up every other week. Many other communities around the State offer this service. Call the transfer station at 360.740.1452 or email them and voice your opinion.
Kick off the Memorial Day Weekend the right way by heading down to the Matrix Coffee House for a dish of alternative, post punk, punk and a little hardcore music on Friday night.
Tickets for the show can be purchased at the door for $6/person.

One Corps organizers in Lewis County are putting together a simple, powerful plan to combat the worst effects of poverty in our communities today while building the support they need to end poverty in America tomorrow, and they need your to make it happen.
One Corp is looking for volunteers to help out with this event on Saturday, May 19th. The event will consist of setting up a table outside of a supermarket (to be determined) to collect food goods for the local food bank, pass out information about the John Edwards plan to end poverty, and sign up people who want to join the cause.
Here’s a list of the types of goods to collect:
Canned meats: chicken, turkey, ham, beef stew
Canned fish: tune, mackerel, salmon
Canned fruits and vegetables
Soup
Peanut Butter
Rice
Pasta
The event is still being planned as far as the location, but organizers know the event will take place in either Centralia or Chehalis. For more details, please contact the official site for the Lewis County One Corp chapter; One Corps - Together We Can Make a Difference or by emailing the Lewis County One Corp Chapter.
Let us know if you plan on attending or have any other information regarding this event.
