IT ALL HAPPENED AT THE FAIR

Library board suggests money saving tips for future remodelBY GARY A. DE VONMANAGING EDITOR

OROVILLE – The first order of busi-ness at the Oroville City Council meeting was for Mayor Chuck Spieth to recog-nize Kathy Jones’ many accomplishments over the past 40 years with a Certificate of Appreciation.

Jones, the city/clerk treasurer, received a round of applause from the council and those in attendance at the Tuesday, Sept. 2 council meeting. The long time city employee has announced that she will be retiring toward the end of October and Joanne Denney has been selected to fill her position.

Sally Bull, treasurer for Oroville Library Board, addressed the council

about money saving programs available from Okanogan County PUD that might help in reducing costs when the future remodel begins on the library.

“The PUD offers incentives for light-ing projects that could save us 30 to 70 percent on costs... if we use volunteer labor with a supervisor it could be even cheaper,” said Bull.

She said a recent lighting assessment of the library resulted in lumen readings on the south side of the library that were extremely low, nine lumens, while the north side was much better at between 36 and 38 lumens. Just changing out 34 lighting fixtures could result in much better lighting at much lower energy costs, she said.

“We’re just trying to find different pockets to use which would extend the remodel money quite a bit,” said Bull, adding that there are other grants or low interest loans available for insulation and Energy Star heat pumps and duct work.

CITY ACCUSED OF SPYINGProperty owner Ginger Downs

appeared before the council expressing concern about a letter she received seek-ing information on whether she was rent-ing an apartment or taking in boarders.

“I’m a little concerned about you council people so I’m having you guys watched... it bugs me when you have my house watched, now see how you like it,” she said.

She said the letter she received said only two boarders were allowed. She told the council that what she had was a sign saying she had an apartment for rent. She claimed the city had “scared away” her tenant.

“Who watches our houses?” she asked. “I have an apartment for rent. I have a sign that says ‘apartment for rent.’ That bothered me because they didn’t look at what the sign says.”

Chris Branch, director of Community Development, commented on what the

Network to help warn of potential flash floodingTHE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

YAKIMA – Operators of the Buckhorn Gold Mine near Chesaw will soon spend $180,000 on proj-ects benefiting the environment across Okanogan County. The work is a result of a penalty settlement between the company and the Washington Department of Ecology.

In July 2012, Ecology fined Crown Resources $395,000 for water quality permit viola-tions at the Buckhorn Gold Mine. In June 2013, the two agreed that $80,000 would be paid immediately and $180,000 would go toward funding envi-ronmental remediation projects in the vicinity of the mine to settle the penalty.

The first project will apply $100,000 toward installing a network of 17 rain gauges in the burned area of the Carlton Complex wildfire. The gauges will auto-matically record and transmit precipi-tation data to provide early warning to residents of flash floods. It will also help gather information about the fire’s

effects and recov-ery. Partners in this effort include Ecology, the Okanogan C o n s e r v a t i o n District, National Weather Service and Governor’s Office.

“We are extremely pleased to be able to help support the peo-ple and the environ-ment of the Okanogan County region in the wake of the devastat-ing Carlton Complex fires and recent flood-ing. It’s good to see that these dollars can

be put to use on the ground to make a positive difference in the region,”

Oroville man recovered from Palmer LakeSheriff credits use of side-scanning sonarBY GARY A. DE VONMANAGING EDITOR

LOOMIS - After 55 days missing, the body of Darrel L. Williams, 57 of Oroville, was located on Wednesday, Sept. 3and recovered from Palmer Lake.

Williams, a retired U.S. Border Patrol Agent, whose last duty station was at Oroville, was found at the bottom of the lake in approximately 62 feet of water. He was located using side scan sonar which is owned by Gene and Sandy Ralston, who are from Kuna Idaho and a friend who helps them, John Zeman who is from Vancouver, Wash., according to Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers.

“We had been searching for Williams since July 11 when he drowned in the

lake while fishing. Williams’ partner had shown us where the drowning had occurred and the search area had been mostly in that area which is 60 to 70 feet deep,” said Rogers on Thursday.

“Yesterday we searched most of the day in the area that we had been told Williams drowned using the sonar that Ralston’s had but we still had not located Williams. Later in the day we talked

to other Border Patrol Agents who gave us a possible different location which was approximately 500 yards farther south down the lake,” added Rogers.

The Ralston’s took their sonar down to the other search area and within 30 minutes had located the body of Williams at approxi-

mately 62 feet on the bottom of the lake. The area was marked with a buoy and a diver was sent down to recover the body. Williams was brought to the surface at around 7:30p.m. Wednesday night. Williams’ family was then notified SEE RECOVERED | PG A4

BY GARY A. DE VONMANAGING EDITOR

OROVILLE – The Deep Water Blues Band played the last note for the Pastime Bar & Grill last Thursday as the business closed for a month promising to reopen in October under a new name and vision.

The owners, Brant and Vicki Hinze, sent out an email blast let-ting their loyal customers know that Thursday would be the last day for the Pastime Bar & Grill and that while they would retain ownership of the building, Brant’s daughter Stacey would be open-ing back up with a new business in the north half of the building, which houses the bar. The south half would be closed, with the exception of the kitchen, wash rooms and offices, according to Vicki Hinze in a telephone inter-view last week.

“We are writing to tell you about the new directions our family has decided to take at the Pastime Bar and Grill, starting by dividing the ownership of the building from the running of a restaurant. The Pastime has played a unique role in Oroville for most of a century, a tradition we expect to continue. We will remain owners of the Pastime Building, a role that fits with the retirement chapter of life we are about to begin,” said the Hinzes in their email.

“Our plan has always been to pass the torch, and now seems the right timing for all of us. To our daughter, Stacey Hinze, we will be giving over the running of a restaurant of her choosing. Having served as general man-ager since the Pastime Bar and Grill opened, she wishes to estab-lish a new restaurant concept. Stacey worked tirelessly to help restore the building and to build the Pastime into the restaurant it is today. We know she will pour her heart and soul into this new endeavor that is her own.”

The new Pastime Bar and Grill sign will change to Pastime Building, according to Vicki

Hinze. Stacey and her fiancé Patchen  Gallagher, the chef, are about 98 percent sure what the new name of the 21-and-over business will be, but Stacey Hinze says they’re not ready to announce it yet.

“We plan on an October 1 or 2 reopening,” she said. “The menu will change but we will have the same chef and style.”

She says just what the new menu will include hasn’t been “nailed down” but she expects a lot of rotating specials featuring local meat and produce and that they will continue to offer locally raised bison.

“For Patchen and I are really excited to see what we can do with the fresh stuff, because we

have so much right here with the farming and ranching.”

“At the bar we want to start making everything from scratch – right down to the tomato juice for the Bloody Marys,” she said.

The kitchen and washroom areas will be part of the new busi-ness, while the south end will be closed off. Although they plan the addition of more seating, the two pool tables and shuffle board will remain “and they’re always free.”

“I’m excited it is going to be really fun to see what’s in store for the next step,” said Stacey Hinze, inviting everyone to come back and see what the new business has to offer.

Deep Water Blues will return, as well

of his recovery.“We probably wouldn’t have

been able to locate Williams with-out the use of their sonar equip-ment and skills. Gene Ralston and Sandy Ralston use their sonar all over the United States, Mexico and Canada to search for drown-ing victims. They donate all of their time and equipment and only charge the expense of them to drive to the area and back home,” said the sheriff.

The Ralstons said that they do this to help out families who have lost their loved ones and Gene Ralston said they donate all of their equipment and time

because it is something they love to do. Since they began using this equipment 14 years ago, they have located over 98 bodies, sev-eral at depths of 500 feet deep in Canada. Including Williams they have located seven drowning vic-tims this year.

The couple also have a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) that they can also run down that has a camera system on it and an arm

that when they locate the body they are able to grab ahold of the victim and bring them to the service. They use this a lot when they are searching in extremely deep waters.

“We at the Sheriff ’s Office and the Border Patrol staff in Oroville are extremely grateful for the help we received from Gene, Sandy and John. They are special peo-ple,” said Rogers.

letter from Christian Johnson, the city’s building and permit admin-istrator, had to say.

“When we got there the sign was gone,” said Branch, adding that zoning law requires certain standards be met before an apart-ment can be let or boarders taken in.

“I get a letter and all the sudden my renter leaves. It has to be that someone is watching my house,” she said.

“Ginger, the sign itself draws attention to your apartment... it’s an advertisement. There are always rumors of renters in garages. When we receive a com-plaint we take it to the staff to investigate. Did you talk to the staff?” asked Mayor Spieth.

Branch explained that the regu-lations are in the zoning code and that the codes are available for review at city hall, at the building department and online.

“I’m upset because this isn’t a big town and that’s why I live here even though I don’t live there,” said Downs, who earlier said she lives outside of town.

Branch said the thing to do is find out what is required in the code first.

“No the thing is I should move to the county so people don’t spy on me,” she replied.

CITY PROJECTSRod Noel, Superintendent of

Public Works, reviewed a list of city projects, both completed and about to begin. He said that the North End Reservoir project, which serves people living north of the city limits on the west side of the lake, as well as the new U.S. Border Patrol Station, was work-ing as intended.

“Apparently what is holding up closing on the issue is what our contract requires with the tank manufacturer,” said Noel.

“Generally the warranty is cov-ered by the general contractor. In this case if there is an issue with the tank then the general and subcontractor can fight it out.

“The project is completed, done, everything is working as it should.”

Other than the final repair to Main Street where the water line was connected for the Central and Cherry Street projects, that project is done, according to Noel.

The runway project at Oroville’s Dorothy Scott Airport has received its Notice to Proceed, said Noel.

“We have an anticipated schedule to start the project on Monday, Sept. 8 and the runway should be closed through Friday,” Noel said.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTChris Branch talked about

the Kernan Street Trailhead for the Similkameen Trail. He said the city had gotten a letter from Okanogan County Planner Perry Huston about the city taking over the trailhead.

“I don’t know why that popped up... it was talked about a long time ago and the state doesn’t like that idea,” said Branch, add-ing that the city is discussing a maintenance agreement regard-ing the trail that would be similar to one Omak had with the state Department of Transportation.

Branch also discussed the Mosquito District and the fact that a public hearing was not held in time to get it on the upcoming general election ballot. Instead it will probably have to wait until next year.

“About assessments, we don’t have a lot of control over them. Once it goes to the ballot we’re pretty much done with it and it is up to the district commissioners,” said Branch. “They’re guessing

at $150,000 to $200,000 to get started.”

Branch said the county com-missioners “were on the fence” about whether to try to get it on the ballot this year.

“One commissioner said the cities should put it on their util-ity bill,” said Branch, adding that Grant County has been helpful in identifying some of the mosqui-tos in this area.

The council approved the pur-chase of some mosquito traps to continue toward better identify-ing the types.

“Identifying the kind of mos-quito is important to determine what we have, because some of those already trapped are the kind that carry the West Nile Virus,” said Branch.

Editor’s Note: On Monday, Grant County Public Health announced a Pierce County woman in her thirties who recently spent time in Grant County has been con-firmed as having West Nile virus. Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department has investigated the case and determined that the individual was likely exposed to the infected mosquitoes during her stay in Grant County.

The press release states: “So far this year, there have been four other human cases in Washington; two of those cases were exposed in-state in Walla Walla and Benton counties, the two other cases were exposed while traveling out of the state. The virus causing West Nile dis-ease has been detected in 26 mos-quito samples from Grant County so far this year.

West Nile virus is a bird illness that can spread to people and other animals through mosquito bites. The best way to prevent West Nile virus infection is to prevent mosquito bites.”

The Oroville Public Library was discussed at the Tuesday, Sept. 2 city council meeting. Sally Bull, treasurer on the Oroville Library Board, asked the council to consider the many energy saving grants available through the Okanogan County PUD. If the city takes advantage of these and low interest loans the money saved could stretch the dollars being saved to one day do a major remodel of the library, according to Bull.

stated Mark Ioli, vice president of Crown Resources.

Unrelated to the fire, funding will also go toward relocating a frequently flooded road at Lost Lake in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. This $25,000 project will benefit water quality and road users. The remaining $55,000 is slated to support other wetland and habitat enhancement and stream restoration projects in

the area surrounding Buckhorn Mountain, providing a variety of benefits to fish and wildlife.

Ecology often recommends the funding of supplemental environ-mental projects as part of a settle-ment or in lieu of a portion of a penalty issued for environmental violations. This allows local com-munities and environments to benefit instead of payments just going into the state’s general fund.

There will be two new teachers this year -- William Mann, of Walla Walla, will teach English and Commercial while Mary Jane Armstrong, of Ellensburg, will teach the first three grades and music. Returns on a car load of ore containing 40.73 tons recently shipped by the Crystal Butte Mine, southeast of Chesaw on Buckhorn Mountain, to the Trail Smelter were received by R.C. “Bud” Hirst, one of the principal stockholders of the company. The total value of the minerals was $1,083.58. After transportation, smelting and referee assaying charges were deducted, it left a net of $735.73. Thousands of people from all parts of Okanogan County and Southern B.C., Canada enjoyed the fair. R. F. “Bob” McCoy, of Molson, purchased the gro-cery department of the Oroville Commercial Company Store located in the First National Bank building in Oroville. The largest number of cars since the Canadian Border Station was moved from Osoyoos to the line. Saturday, September 2, a total of 364 cars passed both ways through the American and Canadian Customs and Immigration and on Sunday, 712 cars carrying 1,565 persons. According to Andy LeMay, Water Superintendent, a recent survey of delinquent water accounts, a more rigid collection policy was necessary and that beginning October 1, 1939, all cur-rent bills not paid by the tenth of the month, regardless of circumstances, will be shut off.

September 10 - 17, 1964: An estimated 1000 persons will compete for premium points, ribbons and 52 awards, cash prizes and trophies for the 18th annual Okanogan County Fair, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Last year’s fair drew 970 exhibitors who earned more than 25,000 points for their red, blue and white ribbons. The board will pay 10 cents a point. The annual Pioneer Picnic drew people from as far away as San Francisco, many from Oregon and sev-eral from Seattle. About 442 people enjoyed the picnic and reminiscing about the “olden days” and many received purple ribbons for 70 years and/or a rosette for 75 years. The time in Okanogan County ranged from 1889 thru 1891. At a meeting of the Board of Education voted on September 8 to allow Kindergarten and pupils of grades 1 and 2 to be transported home on the 2:40 p.m. school buses even though they live within the city limits. The ruling stipulated that pupils must live within at least eight blocks from school and the first to will be at the city limits.

September 7 - 14, 1989: A brief history of the Okanogan County Fair is a part of this issue including a picture of the full to the raf-ters grandstand and a portion of the racetrack with the beach, which shows the Indian tepees on the beach and the lake in the background. This picture was taken in 1932 and I’m sorry that it can’t be reproduced here. It states that the first County fair was held in Riverside in 1905. In 1913, the Grange held the first fair sited in Okanogan and in 1916, it was moved to Oroville at the site of the present Oroville Veteran’s Memorial Park just off Highway 97, where it continued until 1945. It moved to the Methow Valley in 1946, then to Okanogan in 1947 where it is at present in 2014. Sports teams for Oroville and Tonasket for the current year: Oroville Volleyball, 34 mem-bers; Cross Country, 15; Tonasket volleyball, 16, Cross Country, 14: Oroville Football, high school and middle school, 37; Tonasket high school, 31 and middle school, 36. Marijuana plants the size of small trees and the man who was tending them were both eradicated from the U.S. Forest Service Wednesday, Aug. 27. The 44 plants ranged in size from the smallest of nine and a half feet to the tall-est, an eleven foot behemoth. The council here voted to adopt a resolution accepting the Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan drafted by the recently formed Oroville Planning Commission. The comprehensive plan identifies all city parks and recreation opportunities available in the town’s jurisdic-tion. “In the park survey you asked about the possibility of having an ATV park” said Susan Christensen, council member, “I feel that such a track could be a problem for the city.” She also explained that bleachers could rep-resent a liability problem also. Real Estate Bargains: Fixer Upper 2 story log cabin on 7.62 acres, nice tree cover, driveway to cabin, only $11,900 on good terms; 4 bdrm, 2 bath home in Tonasket, hot tub, deck, large corner lot, $72,500; Great family home plus great view – this 3 bdrm home has 4 bdrms on two levels with a large deck facing Lake Osoyoos, extra building lot or good gardening area; forced air electric and wood furnace, approx. 2000 sq. ft., $50,000.

Support makes quilt show a successDear Editor,

First and foremost we want to thank the community for supporting us by purchasing our products at the quilt show and Marylou’s Gifts and More throughout this year. You have enabled us to make 51 quilts to donate to Morning Sun Indian Ministries and 28 quilts to the Carlton Complex fire victims just this year! Your support means a lot to us and allows us to donate quilts wherever there is a need.

Attendance was down at this years quilt show, but it didn’t stop those who were there to show us once again how generous this community is. We received cash donations and promises of fabric donations that we will be using to make quilts for the Carlton Complex fire victims in the coming year! We’d also like to say a big thank you to the Osoyoos Quilting Guild and friends for the quilts they have already donated for the fire victims! We are so happy to be your interna-tional quilting buddies! We are already busy sorting fabrics and getting started!

We also could not do this without the sup-port of Marylou Kriner! Her support of our mission is amazing! Thank you for selling our items and for supporting us throughout

the year and advertising the show. Hughes Department Store also played a big roll this year. Not only did they come to the show to sell their merchandise, but they donated the funds from their raffle quilt to us for the fire victim quilts and advertised the show for us! Aikins Harvest Foods also generously donated all the hamburger buns and water that we served! The Oroville Depot Museum lent us the racks we used to hang quilts on. Last but not least is the Molson Grange. They are always there to offer a helping hand to get the show set up and taken down! Their support of our efforts and to this community are greatly appreciated!

Thank you to everyone who brought a quilt in to display. It’s always a pleasure to see what other quilters are working on!

The Highland Stitchers of Molson.Thanks,Vicky DidenhoverMolson

Nation’s debt problem is the fault of Congress Dear Editor,

Constitution Day, September 17th, cel-ebrates the signing of the Constitution at the constitutional convention in Philadelphia

in 1787. The Constitution has served our nation well as we have enjoyed the most individual freedom and economic prosperity in the world. Yet this year a coalition of con-servative and liberal groups have introduced resolutions calling for another constitution-al convention in many State Legislatures. Twenty-three State legislatures have passed resolutions applying to Congress to call a constitutional convention to propose a bal-anced budget amendment. It takes only 34 states to call a convention so we are danger-ously close to a new convention that could propose new amendments or propose a whole new Constitution.

Our nation’s debt problem is not the fault of the Constitution but Congress’s failure to obey the Constitution and limit spend-ing to the specific areas enumerated in it. The Freedom Index monitors how each member of Congress votes based on the Constitutionality of each bill. According to the Freedom Index Cathy McMorris Rodgers votes about 63 percent, Maria Cantwell 12 percent and Patty Murray only about 10 percent in agreement with the Constitution. Please contact your State Legislators and ask them not to support any resolutions calling for a constitutional convention.

First of all, we hope you had a good Fair – it was perfect weather wasn’t it? The numbers may have been down some, but there was still lots to see and do.

While summer ended that doesn’t mean that things are going to slow down any time soon – back to school and the fair are just the beginning. Now it’s school sports season and as you can tell by our Fall Sports Preview, Brent Baker has already been busy getting the informa-tion you need to know about our Tonasket and Oroville teams.

Speaking of school, it’s hard to fathom not having a place for your kid to go to school, but just north of the border kids in B.C. schools are staying home due to a prolonged teachers’ strike for more money and smaller classrooms. It already seemed like our neighbor’s kids went to school later in the summer than ours do – what’s it going to be like when they finally get back to class? Last day just before Canada Day maybe? Maybe the strike is Oroville’s answer to falling enrollment; according to the last school board meeting there have been Canadian par-ents inquiring about enrolling their kids in the Oroville District. It wouldn’t be the first time there’s been some cross-border school shopping.

Speaking of school kids, just a reminder that the Oroville Booster Club Auction Dinner, which used to take place later than the event at the American Legion, is next Saturday, Sept. 13 at Veranda Beach Resort (see the ad on page 2). They tried this out last year and it was a big success. So go and show your support for our local youth. The other Booster Club Auction will take place in October.

You can also support our local youth from Oroville and Tonasket by taking part in the upcoming Explorer Golf Tournament at the Oroville Golf Course Saturday, Sept. 20 at 11 a.m. The fundraiser helps the local Troop, which is sponsored by the U.S. Border Patrol. The Explorers have become a very visible part of our communities, especially at events where they do everything from park cars to help with security. For more info contact Keith Harris at keith.harris@dhs.gov or call 509-476-3622.

Although it seems like it was a long break, the Oroville Chamber of Commerce is starting up their meetings again. This Thursday, Sept. 18, tonight, they have a special evening meeting at 6 p.m. at the Plaza Restaurant. The “Hot Topic” as Chamber President Clyde Andrews says is the Hot Lake.

The first meeting of the fall will feature a presentation by research-ers from the Pacific Northwest National Labs, writes Andrews. The PNNL has for several years been conducting research on Hot Lake, a very small pond less than two miles northeast of Oroville that does not freeze over in the winter.

Clyde says if you plan on ordering dinner (not required), arrive at 6 p.m. The presentation will be from 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

“Located in Richland, Wash., PNNL employs 4300 and is one among ten U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories managed by DOE’s Office of Science. Their research strengthens the U.S. founda-tion for innovation, and they help find solutions for not only DOE, but for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the National Nuclear Security Administration, other government agencies, universities and industry. Come learn what they hope to find by studying Hot Lake.”

Might be worth checking out – I’ve always been curious about the lake, which is near the family ranch.

PAGE A6 OKANOGAN VALLEY GAZETTE-TRIBUNE | SEPTEMBER 11, 2014

OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE

Labor Day ends summer, but some-times we have some very warm days in September. It’s time to be thinking about getting the winter wear out of wherever you stashed it for the hot sum-mer months.

And now that the weather is cooler, I’ll have to tackle the storage shed. There is a lot of stuff we don’t use, but why do we keep so many empty boxes -- making it look worse than it really is?

Baseball is coming to an end and football will be taking over the airwaves. But, I’ll have to wait a while before Gonzaga starts running up and down the floor with the basketball.

Our country is in a real mess. The beheading of the two journalists is so barbaric and all I hear is, “there will be justice.”

Wonderful News: Sprint is making a telephone, just for five year olds! I can’t think of anything more needed than phones in the hands of yet younger children.

There is new playground equipment at the elementary school, compliments of Veranda Beach, so I’m told. Very nice gesture!!!

A lot of the celebrities are really upset about the nude photos of them that are floating around due to modern technol-ogy. Easy answer to that happening! Keep your clothes on!

Once again we were entertained at the

Senior Center by a guy that made beauti-ful music from our out of tune piano. He had been traveling for seven weeks from his home in Hood River, Ore. to Alaska and was lonesome for a piano practice, as he was returning home. He has my vote to come again anytime!

There is another breakfast buffet at the Senior Center, this coming Saturday, Sept. 13. And be thinking of the annual Christmas bazaar with ideas of how to make it bigger and better. When the days get colder we need more money to keep the building warmer.

We, at the Center were saddened by the news of the death of Jane Scwitzer, Thursday morning. Jane was such a friendly and fun person, but it was becoming more difficult for her to breathe, due to COPD and other affili-ated lung problems. Jane was the mother of Sue Chapple. Condolences go out to the family.

Being greeter at the Senior Center I become real personally attached to some of the folks, and Jane Schwitzer was one of them. Some days she was so tired, due to breathing problems she’d ask for my arm to lead her to “her place” at the table. One day at the sign-up sheet, she wrote Jane and hesitated and I teased her, asking if she couldn’t remember her name, and I told her to just write “Doe” as it much easier to spell then her real name. Thereafter

she wrote Jane Doe and the site direc-tor just drew a line through it and put the correct name in. What a character! We’ll miss you Jane, whatever your name was!

Roberta Cole was all smiles as she returned from her Viking River Cruise, which was delightful. Her advice is, “Start saving your money and go’! You’ll never be sorry.”

It’s so good to have Neoma Vandiver back in town. She isn’t feeling 100 per-cent, but then who does when they’ve had as many birthdays as a lot of us seniors have.

We don’t have assigned chairs at the lunch tables, but some folks just usually do sit in the same area and it’s nice to have those places filled. I sit in all areas, as I like to visit with everyone.

Well, we made it to the fair, again. And just like I’ve said before, they keep moving the exhibit buildings farther and farther apart ‘til a bench to sit on looks more inviting than a pig in the swine building, so we do skip the livestock buildings.

Foods are so good at these kind of functions. My choice was the Asian noo-dles with a funnel cake for dessert. Yes, it was way more than I could eat, but it was so good… and messy. I had caramel syrup from the cake on everything that was near by.

The firefighters can pile ice cream on

a cone, higher than I’ve ever seen and it looked so good, ever the brilliant blue.

Our local Jack Hughes had a most catching display of ACE Hardware buckets and lots of other merchandise from his store, which represented a LOT of work getting it all down there on rather short notice. That guy is good at what he does and is good to his help and they’re ready to give him a hand, along with family members.

And what would the Okanogan County Fair be without Betty Roberts at her spinning wheel? So far we haven’t had to find out.

Congratulations to Bea Alden, pastor Leon’s wife, of being awarded a blue ribbon and grand prize on the painting she entered of her hus-band, while he was hiking in the high country, where he loves to be.

Lots of fantastic gardeners in the area with gorgeous floral displays. There were some “Big Bugs” there too. Displays, that is.

The NCW Blue Star Mother’s “Boots” display was exceptional, having one of the boots of the different sons and daughters, shown with their name and branch of service they are in.

Youth from the jail, with the tradition-al broad stripe uniforms on, were busily doing custodial chores. I always think how sad for some mom and dad to have one of their own, that didn’t listen when smaller and now doing that kind of duty, while they perhaps “think”

I’m sure the attendance numbers will be found to be smaller. Friday is usually a very busy day. Not so many this year.

In chatting with some it was the consen-sus that the devastating recent fires was cause for lack of some the exhibitors not

having anything to show. All the visiting that happens

is so great. Perhaps seeing some that you hadn’t seen since last year.

And I still miss seeing Brock Hires, entertaining, at the grandstand. I guess I thought he’d just stay “little” forever. Now he’s all grown up.

Much thought had gone into the planning of the Memorial Service held for Velma Colbert Hill, some of it done by herself. With her love for horses and riding it

was perfectly fitting at the end of the service, that she rode off into the sunset, to the tune of Roy Rogers, “Happy Trails To You.”

It had been a long time since I’d seen Ernie and Lavina Fields. They, along with many others remembered the fun times, on horseback, they’d enjoyed with Velma.

A salmon dinner was held at the American Legion Hall last Saturday night, sponsored by the Okanogan Borderlands Historical Society (the museum) along with auctions, both silent and live, and I’m sorry to say it wasn’t very well attended. So much work went into the preparation, and there just weren’t enough folks there to make the auctions as successful as they might have been. If I might give a suggestion, next year try a pre-sale of tickets. I heard a number of people say they didn’t know about it.

‘Til Next Week.

Time to start thinking winter weather wear

Tonasket Library fundraiser SUBMITTED BY MARIAM CADDYTONASKET LIBRARY BOARD

TONASKET - The Tonasket Library Board and Friends of the Library are holding a fundraiser at the Community Culture Center on

Friday, Sept. 19, 2014 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Reed Engel/John Jones and Steve Kinzie will provide music and there will also be short story and poetry readings. Desert will be served. The entry fee is $8.

Alpine Sheds installed a shed

for book storage at the library last week. Due to the many com-munity donations for our book sales we needed a close place to store the books between the semi-annual book sales. We are holding the fundraiser to help pay for the cost of the shed.

For anyone who is unable to attend the event but would like to contribute to the cause, donations will be accepted at the library.

TONASKET LIBRARY

Keeping an eye out for snow on BonaparteSUBMITTED BY MARIANNE KNIGHT

This last week has been pretty quiet, at least around our house. The weather has been a little of sun and hot and a little of rain and cool to almost cold in the morn-ings. Fall could be coming soon. We are keeping an eye out for S_ _w on Bonaparte and then count-ing six weeks on the calendar for a real S_ _w. Don’t want to bring it on too early.

Our bow hunters will be on their way next week to try their luck at finding a deer in our area. Good luck guys and I know we will enjoy the visit.

The Highland Stitchers and the Chesaw ladies are busy making more fire quilts (just in case). They do such good work.

At BINGO last week we had a good crowd and the pay back was good for both the players and the Molson Grange. Plan on playing with us on the 19th of Sept. 19 at the Grange Hall at 7 p.m. The buy in is $10 per person. Please bring a snack to share at break time.

The Ladies Auxiliary is busy gathering items to put into the

drawing baskets at the Pancake Breakfast’s starting in January. If you have items or even a basket or two, the ladies will gladly accept them.

There is going to be a special Fund Raising Pancake Breakfast on Sept. 28 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bring your friends, neigh-bors and relatives.

The Okanogan County Fair is over for this year and the Grange Building was quite a sight to see with the theme of Barns, Boots, and Country Roots. Each Grange Hall received a Grand Champion Ribbon to display and add to previous ones. Thank you to all that helped.

The date and time has been set for the Havillah Church Harvest Dinner in October. Join in the festive evening of food (pot luck-salad or dessert) friendship and fun. The date is Oct. 25, that’s a Saturday, and starts at 4:30 p.m. with fellowship and dinner from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. All are welcome, Bring your friends. Games for the kids to follow.

MARLENE JOAN MORGAN

Marlene Joan (Campbell) Morgan passed away August 21, 2014 in Olympia, Washington at Providence St. Peter Hospital.

Doug very much enjoyed jok-ing, teasing and playing with all of his grandchildren. Doug was an amazing father, grandfather and friend who will be missed but never forgotten.

companion Maryjane Cowdrey who loved, cared for and inspired Doug until his last day, sister and brother-in-law Richard and Lula Mae Allgood, his children Robert and Crystal Click, Jeffrey and LaRee Click and Mike and Karla Archie, 12 grandchildren, Tristen, Zachariah, Dominic, Kahtyanna, Jillian, Kamiah, Jordan, Dawson, Madeline, Garrett, Everett and Owen, nieces and nephews Bill Click, Randy Click, Bob Kies, Marcie Brown, Renee Hirst and Diana Hirst.

Are you ready for this? September is National Preparedness Month. Sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Preparedness Month seeks to educate Americans on preparing for natural disasters and other types of emergencies. But you’ll also need to prepare for unexpected events in many other areas of your life — particularly those

and your family.

Here are some of the most important of these events, along with possible preparations for them:

Unanticipated early retirement – If you encounter a “downsizing” or other occurrence that results in the loss of a job, or even the end of a career, before you expected it, would you be able to avoid major disruptions to your lifestyle? To help prepare for such a loss of

may need to explore private coverage.

Personal liability – If someone were ever injured on your property or due to some action of yours, you could face legal actions demanding hundreds of thousands of dollars. To help protect yourself, consider adding umbrella liability insurance.

Changing family situation – Changes in your life — marriage, divorce, remarriage, children, stepchildren — can drastically affect your estate plans and the type of legacy you want to leave. To prevent unpleasant surprises for your family, make sure you periodically review

accounts, such as your IRA and 401(k), and work with your tax and legal advisors to update your estate-planning documents — will, living trust and so on — as needed.

Outliving your money – Once you reach retirement, your greatest concern may be that you’ll outlive your money. To help prevent

this from happening, create a sustainable withdrawal strategy — that is, determine how much you can take out each year from your investment and retirement accounts, and stick to this amount.

Need for long-term care – You can’t predict whether you will ever need to enter a nursing home or require the assistance of a home health care worker, but one thing is for sure — these services are extremely expensive. Consider this: The national average for a private room in a nursing home is nearly $84,000 per year, according to a recent survey

Joy Lawson has informed me that their band will be unable to perform for us on the third Friday this month. I will be contacting other musicians to fill that spot for us.

The Memorial Service for Velma Hill was on Saturday, Sept. 6, and was attended by much of her family and friends. She had lunch with us three times per week at the Center and was always cheerful even though she must have been in pain most of the time.

She was also active in the Red Hat Society and always looked so elegant in her beauti-

ful hat.We were also sorry to hear

of the death of Jane Sweitzer. She had lunch with us as often as she felt up to it and had a good sense of humor. She could often be seen riding her scooter around town. We will miss them both.

Arseniuc and Old Lace, with Cary Grant, is the movie that is scheduled to be shown on the fourth Friday of September, Sept. 26, at 1 p.m.

Pinochle scores for Aug. 26: The door prize was won by Dave Russell; most pinochles by Beverly Holden; high scor-ing man was Jim Fry and Nellie Paulsen was the high scoring lady for the evening.

Jf Launier’s custom Hot Rod “Rivision” will be a special addition to Wine Country Racing Association’s “Rumble in the Valley” on September 28, at the Osoyoos airport.

SUBMITTED SHANA CACHOLAWINE COUNTRY RACING ASSOCIATION

OSOYOOS - It’s a custom car builder’s ultimate dream to win a Ridler Award - and it just might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportu-nity to watch that Ridler award-winner drag racing in Osoyoos. 

“Rarely, if ever, does a car-lover have an o p p o r t u n i t y to see a Ridler winning car be driven, much less raced on a drag track,” said Chip Sabyan, a member of the Wine Country R a c i n g A s s o c i a t i o n (WCRA).

The WCRA is a group of drag racing enthu-siasts that put on drag races in Osoyoos. Right now they are putting the finishing touches on the fifth annual “Rumble in the Valley” Car Club Challenge, and this year, it has a new twist. 

“Fans will be delighted to see beautiful vehicles from car clubs throughout the Okanagan Valley, settling their grudges on the drag track,” said Sabyan. But this year there will also be a special appearance from 2014 Detroit Autorama Chevrolet Performance Ridler award win-ner JF Launier, of Osoyoos, B.C.

Launier will be entering his award-winning vehicle, called “Rivision,” on behalf of the Coachmasters club of the South Okanagan. 

Launier - with the help of many

others - put in more than 20,000 hours to build his Ridler winner - a 1964 Riviera that won global acclaim at the Detroit Autorama earlier this year. According to the Autorama website, the award emphasizes creativity, engineer-ing and workmanship, and the minimum standard is that the vehicle must be minimally oper-able (It must start, move forward

and backward under its own power, turn left and right and stop using the brake pedal).

But let’s hope Revision can do a bit more than that on the Osoyoos track, because the members of the Okanagan

Rodtiques and the Kelowna Kustoms car clubs are no doubt itching to take it down. 

The drag racing takes place at the Richter Pass Motorplex on Sunday, Sept. 28. Gates open at  9 a.m. Racing begins at 11 a.m. with the final elimination rounds beginning at 1 p.m.  on Sept 28. Admission is $10, free for those 12 and under. It is a drug and alcohol-free event, with conces-sions available on site. Fill the grandstands, bring along your lawn chair, or back your pick-up up to “redneck row.”

Any drivers interested in rac-ing  their own vehicles must come early to register and pass through safety inspection. For more information, check outw-ww.winecountryracing.ca or call 250-498-6443.

OROVILLE – The 2014 Explorer Post 0023 Golf Tournament is planned for the Oroville Golf Club on Saturday, Sept. 20 at 11 a.m.

The tournament, which raises money for the Explorers group, is limited to 11 teams and features hundreds of dollars in prizes to be auctioned and raffled. In addi-tion to the tournament there are contests for closest ball to the pin and long drive, as well as a put-ting competition.

“Anyone is welcome to golf. The eleven teams will have four people per team, but if someone hasn’t got a team we will help to put them on a team,” said John Tafolla, who is helping to orga-nize the tournament.”

He said that there have been

lots of donations for this year’s event, the second annual. Last year the Explorers were able to raise about $2500 for their group. Explorer Post 2003 is for local youths interested in law enforce-ment, leadership and community service.

“There are lots of good dona-

tions, especially from up north. There are golf packages and resort stays,” Tafolla said.

The $65 entry fee includes green fee and cart rental, as well as a steak dinner.

WHITE SWAN - A youthful Oroville squad struggled to get its offense untracked against a White Swan team that returns many of its key players from last year’s Central Washington League championship squad.

The Hornets fell behind 28-0 midway through the third quar-ter before a pair of Dustin Nigg touchdowns cut the final margin to 28-16.

“They’re pretty much the same team as last year,” said Oroville coach Tam Hutchinson. “Their main running back (Albert Picard) - not the 400 pound guy but the fast, athletic one - he’s back, and their offensive line is back.”

With the league splitting into two divisions this year, White Swan is in the south division and the contest was a non-league game.

Nigg finished with 65 yards on 14 carries, with 51 of those com-ing on his scoring runs of 41 and 10 yards.

Hutchinson said that the

Hornets’ ability to narrow the margin in the second half was not simply a matter of White Swan letting up after building a big lead.

“We didn’t come out very well in the first half,” he said. “We defended well up the middle, but they hurt us with their mis-direction plays that got to the outside.

“By the fourth quarter their big guys were dragging, and we were still going. Their coach said afterward that if we’d have played another quarter, it could have really got-ten interesting.

“We were in better shape, but they were a lot more polished, and some of that is our lack of experi-ence at the ‘skill’ positions.”

Picard scored on a pair of pass receptions from Brian Kosik and added a six-yard touchdown run

to pace White Swan.Sophomore quarterback

Nathan Hugus added 18 yards rushing on four carries and completed one pass for 11 yards.

“We had a couple of turnovers that helped set up touchdowns,” H u t c h i n s o n said. “And I gave one up too - I lost track of what down it was and had us

go for it on fourth down when we were deep in our own end.”

He was particularly pleased with the play of his defensive line.

“Logan Mills, Mick Fulmer, Jaxon Blackler, and Blake Rise did a nice job,” Hutchinson said. “They really didn’t get anything between the tackles.

“I wasn’t at all pleased with the first half. We played tentative. But we really improved in the second half.”

Tigers lose a wild oneWardens big plays overcome Tigers’ dominant ground game in openerBY BRENT BAKERBBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - The Tonasket football team compiled an impressive array of statistics in their Friday, Sept. 5, opener.

It wasn’t quite enough to earn the one stat they really wanted: a notch in the win column.

The Tiger offense literally ran over Warden’s defense to the tune of 68 rushes for 409 yards, and despite running all those plays turned the ball over just once.

It still wasn’t enough as the Cougars and their junior ver-sion of Percy Harvin scored two touchdowns in the final 5:35 of the fourth quarter to edge the Tigers, 39-35.

It wasn’t Harvin that terror-ized the Tigers all night, but one Orlando Alba, who rushed for 142 yards on 12 carries and caught four passes for 94 yards. He also had an 80 yard kickoff return called back due to a team-mate’s penalty.

Alba reminded Tonasket coach Jay Hawkins of Okanogan’s Justin Rivas, who, unlike Harvin, has personally given the Tigers fits over the past few years.

“(Alba) can fly,” Hawkins said. “Right away, I thought, whoa, that’s Rivas. He could plant and cut, and that speed you can’t rep-licate in practice. Our guys were taking funky angles, and he’d just fly by. We have some guys who can play some bully ball, but he was an electrifying playmaker.

“We do have to tackle better,” Hawkins added. “We didn’t tackle in space at all, and he is hard to tackle in space.”

Alba’s presence alone was enough to throw the Tonasket defense into chaos, opening the field up for wide receiver Jerry Reyes, who also burned the Tigers for 106 yards and a pair of touch-downs on eight catches from quarterback Conner Haynes.

“We just gave up too many explosive plays,” Hawkins said.

Even with that, the Tigers’ offense moved the ball at will, albe-it not as explosively. Isaiah Yaussy-Albright ran the ball for 215 yards on 28 carries and a touchdown, while Austin Knowlton added 115 yards on 19 carries and three

scores. Jorge Juarez set up a couple of scores with his 71 yards rushing on 13 carries.

The teams traded scores throughout the first half, with Alba serving notice on the first play from scrimmage with a 63 yard touchdown run off a game-opening sweep.

The Tigers served notice of their own, plowing over the Cougars with a 13-play, 73-yard, six minute drive that ended with Albright’s five-yard scoring run.

The Tigers added scoring drives of 11, five and 13 plays, with Knowlton finishing off each with scoring runs of two, three and one yard, respectively.

But Warden’s scores came much more quickly, on a pair of scoring strikes from Haynes to Reyes, of 63 and seven yards.

Still the Tigers led 28-19 at the half, and opened the third quarter with yet another long drive, mov-ing 74 yards on 13 plays. Colton Leep’s fourth-down, 13-yard pass to Brock Henneman, followed by Alex Palomares’ extra point, gave the Tigers a 35-19 lead.

Warden, of course, struck back quickly, with a 35-yard touch-down pass to Reyes and the ensu-ing 2-point conversion cutting it the Tonasket lead to eight.

The Tigers seemed ready to put the game away with another long drive, but Leep was sacked to set

up a 3rd-and-12 that effectively ended the 13-play drive early in the fourth quarter.

Alba went to work, stretch-ing the Tigers’ defense and even-tually scoring on a 3-yard run. The Tigers stopped the 2-point conversion, and though 4:54 remained, one more clock kill-ing drive could have wrapped the game up.

“I really felt like once we stopped them on the two point conversion, at 35-33, that we would be able to sustain the drive,” Hawkins said. “Then, we have the only turnover the game.”

That fumbled did indeed prove costly, as the Tigers were again unable to slow the Warden offense. Peter Manville made a pair of big plays, catching a 14-yard pass on 3rd-and-3 and scoring the game-winning touch-down on a 12-yard pass play with 1:50 to go.

The Tigers had one last chance, and needing 80 yards on their final drive, covered 60 of them, but couldn’t quite get in scoring range.

“As a spectator, if you didn’t care what happened, that was quite a game to watch,” Hawkins said. “For a first game there were a lot of cool things.”

Tonasket takes to the road Friday, Sept. 12, with anoth-er non-league contest at Lake Roosevelt.

“They aren’t the same team as last year” Hutchinson said. “But they’ll still be tough.”

Highland Wonders Educational EventSUBMITTED BY JULIE ASHMOREOHA CONSERVATION COORDINATOR

TONASKET - Okanogan Highlands Alliance (OHA) announces a new kind of Highland Wonders event: an opportunity for the community to bring their curiosity about native plants to a panel of experts. The event will take place on Friday, September 26, at the Community Cultural Center (CCC) of Tonasket, beginning at 6:30 pm with dinner benefiting the CCC at 5:00 pm. Based on digital photos, pressed plant specimens, and other plant samples that community mem-bers will bring to the event, the panel will provide assistance with plant identification and under-standing the role of the plants in our Okanogan landscape.

“Evening with the Experts” will be led by a panel of botanists, each with their own unique experience and expertise to bring to the com-munity. George Thornton, retired Oroville high school teacher, long-time local botanist, and President of OHAís board, will spearhead the event. Thornton grew up in the Okanogan and raised his fam-ily here, contributing to the com-munity as a teacher and a bota-nist, and volunteering with a wide variety of community organiza-tions. His interest in plants began at an early age and developed

throughout this life; on Sept 26 he will share from his wide-rang-ing experience with unique and rarely seen Okanogan Highland plants, as well as the more com-mon species. Thornton provided the first Highland Wonders pre-sentation in November of 2010 on “Botanical Gems of the Okanogan Highlands,” and has also lead an OHA outdoor Native Plant Hike at Lost Lake and a Cedar Ecology event near Chesaw.

Dana Visalli will contribute his knowledge on the panel, return-ing to Highland Wonders after his initial presentation on Highland Wildflowers in November of 2012. Visalli has worked for the last 22 years as a professional botanist and naturalist. He has published the quarterly natural history journal, “The Methow Naturalist” for the past 19 years, and has directed a summer ecolo-gy camp for children for 22 years. He lives in the Methow Valley, where he is an organic market gar-dener, and maintains the regional species lists for flowering plants, mosses, lichens, birds, amphib-ians, reptiles and mammals. “I am becoming increasingly entranced by the story of the journey that life is on,” Visalli says. “Plants are a big part of that story, becoming more complex over time. There are 300,000 different species of plants on earth, each one of them intricately adapted to a particular environment. They are beautiful and intriguing in their own right, and of course they make our lives, and all animal life on land, pos-

sible. So let’s get into them!”Erica Heinlen will join the

Highland Wonders team for this event, sharing her unique spe-cialty in mosses. The commu-nity is fortunate to have a mosses expert living in Tonasket, and OHA is pleased that she will share her skill and understand-ing at this event. Heinlen stud-ied botany at the University of Washington and worked for the local Forest Service for several years doing vascular plant sur-veys. She caught an interest in bryophytes (mosses) on the job and so attended the University of Alberta and obtained her Masters degree in 2002, on “Patterns of bryophyte diversity and rarity of the Okanogan Highlands of WA State.”

She has been working part-time for the Forest Service and contracting other bryophyte work since then. Heinlen will be available to help identify lichen as well, which can also be brought to the event, in addition to mosses and regular (vascular) plants.

The event will begin with a brief overview of what flowers are for, how their shapes and colors function, and how they repro-duce. A description of the plant kingdom divisions will orient the audience to the way in which plants are organized. Participants will be invited to bring plant specimens and photos to the panel of experts, and volunteer plant enthusiasts will also be on hand to assist with plant iden-tification using field guides and

keys. Samples of interest will be projected onto a large screen for the whole group to see, and speci-mens, as they are labeled, will also be available for display on tables.

Community members are encouraged to bring digital photos on USB flash drives, SD memory cards, or email in advance to julie@okanoganhigh-lands.org. Now is the time to collect samples and take photos! Guidelines should be reviewed at www.okanoganhighlands.org/

education/mystery-plant regard-ing information to write down, tips for taking the photos, and how to collect plant specimens (including situations when plants should not be picked). Everyone is welcome to participate in the event, whether they bring in a mystery plant or not. There will be plenty of examples available for everyone to learn from.

OHA is a non-profit organiza-tion that works to educate the public on watershed issues. The

Highland Wonders educational series features the natural his-tory of the Okanogan Highlands and surrounding areas. OHAís Education Program, which is offered free of charge, is designed to build the capacity of the com-munity to steward natural habi-tats and resources by helping increase awareness of local natu-ral history. Donations are always welcome. Details are provided on OHAís website: www.okanogan-highlands.org/education/hw.

Expanded league to challenge inexperienced Hornet squadBY BRENT BAKERBBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

OROVILLE - Oroville football coach Tam Hutchinson admits that past couple of seasons have left him a bit spoiled.

Now that Luke Kindred, a three-year starter at quarterback, has graduated, Hutchinson jokes, “Now I’ll have to start coaching again.”

The Hornets lost far more than just their quarterback to graduation, though. Most of their skill posi-tion players on offense, as well as their defen-sive backfield, have moved on to their post-high school lives, leaving H u t c h i n s o n with some big shoes to fill.

The offen-sive and defen-sive lines, however, bring back quite a bit of experience, giving the Hornets some blocks to build around.

“We’ve got some guys that played a lot for us last year,” Hutchinson says. “Lane Tietje,

Blake Rise, Mick Fulmer, Charlie Arrigoni all played either on one side or the other or both. Brian Wise at tight end played a lot, too. Logan Mills ran the ball some, but he’s our nose guard and that’s where we really need him. EZ Delgado at linebacker played

some, too.”The offensive backfield

isn’t completely devoid of experience. Dustin Nigg, who rushed for just over 200 yards and four touchdowns last year, and 550 yards and nine touchdowns as a sopho-more, will be the primary running back.

He also serves as the team’s placekicker, as he ably demonstrated with his game-win-ning 41-yard field goal that was the difference between Oroville and

Liberty Bell heading to the state playoffs.

Hutchinson will be groom-ing another potential three-year starter at quarterback in sopho-

more Nathan Hugus.“That’s our biggest adjust-

ment,” Hutchinson says. “I haven’t had to do much coach-ing at that position the last couple of years, so it will take some time. Things don’t look as smooth offensively, but you wouldn’t expect that yet.”

That’s one reason why Hutchinson isn’t too concerned about what happens, win and loss wise, in the Hornets’ first two non-league games.

A road trip to defending league champion White Swan, along with a home game scheduled at the last minute against defend-ing state runner-up Mt. Baker, will give the Hornets the kind of education they’ll need to know what it takes to compete in the revamped Central Washington 2B League.

WIAA reclassification doubled the size of the league, breaking it into north and south divi-sions. The Hornets and hold-overs Liberty Bell, Bridgeport and Manson will be joined by former Caribou Trail League

members Tonasket, Brewster and Okanogan, who dropped down from Class 1A.

“I’ve been telling the kids, don’t worry so much about the score, just go out and play some foot-ball,” Hutchinson says. “Whatever happens, happens. Of course we’re disappointed if we lose, but the point is to improve and be competitive.”

Hutchinson says he feels the Hornets match up well against

the other teams from the old league - Liberty Bell, Bridgeport and Manson - and figures the other games will be more of a wait-and-see proposition.

“Liberty Bell will be tough again - their quarterback is back, and he’s a good one,” he says. “We should do OK with Bridgeport and Manson.

“With as much learning as we have to do this year, we’re just looking to be competitive.”

Tigers hoping new league gives chance to rebuildBY BRENT BAKERBBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - Jay Hawkins has experienced both the feast and the famine of Tonasket football, at least as far as wins and losses go.

His run of coaching the Tigers has included playoff teams (including a state runner-up fin-ish in 2005) and the struggles of playing while overmatched as one of the smallest Class 1A schools in the state the last few years.

For the next two years, at least, Tonasket will be one of the larger

schools in its classification after dropping to Class 2B in the lat-est Washington Interscholastic Activities Association round of reclassification. It’s likely to be just a two-year stay, but it’s a chance for the Tigers to put the difficulties of recent seasons behind them.

“I truly believe this, and I’ve thought this all through our first two and a half weeks of prac-tice, we’ve just got to get some confi-dence,” Hawkins says. “From the neck up, gaining some momentum and gaining confidence would mean a lot for this team.”

The Tigers’ roster boasts 19 seniors, but last year’s graduating class was about as large and kept many of this year’s upperclass-men from seeing significant play-ing time.

The exception is along the offensive and defensive lines, which the Tigers will build around.

Chad Edwards and Frank Holfeltz both were two-way starters on the line last year. Seniors Dallas Tyus (offense) and Austin Knowlton (defense)

are also returning starters in the trenches, while Devyn Catone, Isaiah Yaussy-Albright, Jesse Manring and David Moreno

were also part-time starters.

In other words, Hawkins says, many of the Tigers will play their first meaningful minutes of varsity football this season.

Senior Colton Leep steps in at quarterback. Behind him at running back is a bevy of play-ers with a variety of strengths.

“We really have a nice stable of running backs,” Hawkins says.

Though include Albright, Knowlton, Manring, Jesse Ramon and Jorge Juarez.

The Tigers don’t figure to throw the ball much in their ball con-trol offense, but tight end Brock Henneman and receivers David Moreno and Devyn Catone will be likely targets.

Defensively, Hawkins says his aim this year is for an approach that will allow his players to react more quickly, rather than think about what they should be doing mid-play.

How this all will play out in the

revamped Central Washington 2B League, which is split into North and South divisions, remains to be seen.

Brewster and Okanogan moved into the 2B ranks with the Tigers, joining holdovers Oroville, Manson, Liberty Bell and Bridgeport in the north.

It’s unknown at this point how many state playoff berths will be available for the taking (the WIAA won’t make that deci-sion until Sept. 21-22), but Week 10 will feature both playoff and non-playoff crossover games with the south, which includes White Swan, Kittitas, Lake Roosevelt, Soap Lake (moving up from 1B)

and Mabton (moving down from 1A).

“It will be interesting to see how things unfold,” Hawkins

says. “Fundamentally, we’ll strike to get better on a daily basis. But more than anything, we just need to gain some confidence.”

Hornets to follow up playoff run with new coachBY BRENT BAKERBBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

OROVILLE - The Oroville girls soccer team qualified for a district tournament playoff spot for the first time in team history last year.

Now they’ll move forward with a youthful squad and a new coach.

Tony Kindred, a first-time var-sity head coach but a longtime assistant in multiple sports a the high school level, takes over the team.

Improving on last year’s fin-ish won’t be easy, what with for-mer Class 1A squads Okanogan, Brewster and Tonasket (all playoff qualifiers at that level) dropping into the Central Washington 1B/2B League for the next two years.

“The girls have agreed that they must expect more of them-selves individually and from one another,” Kindred says. “They agree that they want to ‘see the

field’ and communicate better as a team. They’ve set the goal to work together as a unit and want to work on their passing game.”

The Hornets return seven play-ers from last year’s squad, includ-ing three freshmen that were key to last season’s run to the playoffs.

Kali Peters is the lone senior.Blending the new with the old

into a cohesive unit is Kindred’s goal.

“All but just a few have played soccer since they were young and playing AAU,” he says. “The fresh-men are entering their second year of varsity soccer, so they have that experience and should work well with the upperclassmen.

“They work very hard on the field and in the classroom. They are a class act and have worked hard in practice, including a core building circuit in the weight

room.”To compete in the upgraded

league, Kindred says they’ll need to be at their best.

“They can’t stand alone, but must rely on each other,” he says. “They are working to encourage each other, as well as push each other. They are checking to see if their best really is the best and each is working to give more to the team.”

Young squad hopes to make noise in new leagueBY BRENT BAKERBBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - Despite graduat-ing a talented class of 10 seniors off last year’s district tournament qualifying team, Tonasket girls soccer coach Darren Collins holds high hopes for a promising 2014 season.

“We have a small team,” Collins says, with just 17 girls on the ros-ter. “We’re really young. But I still think we’re going to be good.”

Collins is optimistic despite bringing back just seven players from last year.

Hilda Celestino is the only senior who played last year. Jordan Sackman also returns after missing all of last season due to injury.

Juniors Myra Gaytan, Jaden Vugteveen and Rose Walts played key roles last year, and speedy sopho-more twins Kayla and Ashlynn Willis proved to be danger-ous.

Two new seniors, a pair of first-time juniors, four freshmen and three eighth grad-

ers fill out the Tigers’ roster. It’s the first year for eighth

graders to be eligi-ble for varsity play at Tonasket, thanks to the Tigers mov-ing to the smaller 2B school classification.

Along with Okanogan and Brewster, the Tigers will join Oroville, Liberty Bell, Manson, Entiat and Bridgeport in an eight-team league that suddenly moves up a couple of notches in terms of

competition.That means state-ranked 1A

teams like Cascade and Cashmere are no longer on the schedule.

“We’d like to make the playoffs, even as a young team,” Collins says. “It’s a little tough when we won’t even know for a few week how many (playoff) allocations our league even gets.

“Okanogan and Brewster for certain will be challenges. We haven’t lost to Liberty Bell since I’ve been here but they finished third at state last year, so they should be tough, too.”

Collins says that the teams’ youth was in evidence at the Tigers’ jamboree with Omak and Liberty Bell, but that he saw his young squad beginning to find its footing.

“I think at first we were a little nervous,” he says. “We started four freshmen and an eighth grader. It took awhile to get into

the flow of the game. But after awhile you could see them get used to the pace, the speed of

the game, and got used to how good everyone on the field is at this level.

“There’s lots of room for growth. But I think over the next

couple of years, we should devel-op into an outstanding team.”

New era begins for Oroville cross countryBY BRENT BAKERBBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

OROVILLE - Cross coun-try will look a bit different at Oroville High School this year.

Sierra Speiker - who won three state titles and was state runner-up once in her four years - has taken her considerable talents to the University of Idaho.

And longtime coach Doug Kee, who retired at the end of last year, no longer heads the program.

Billy Monroe, one-time holder of the Tonasket course record and a state qualifier in his high school days, takes over a small roster that includes five returners: senior Nahum Garfias, juniors Dakota Haney, and Daniel and Emmanuel Castrejon, and sophomore Phoebe Poynter.

Our goal as a team is to push ourselves in everything we do, whether it be practice or races,” Monroe says. “There are other people out there running, but for the most part you are competing

against yourself. I want my ath-letes to improve their times each week and each race.”

Part of that, Monroe says, is for his athletes to control what they can. What they can’t con-trol is how fast anyone else runs; their own effort is what they can manage.

“I tell my athletes, if it hurts when you’re training and it hurts when you’re racing, then you’re doing it right.”

Though the Hornets’ first

competition wasn’t until Tuesday at Tonasket, Monroe says he’s already seen improvement in the pre-season.

“In one week of training we had a few athletes drop 15-20 seconds,” he says. “I expect them to be much faster at the end of the season than they are now.

“I want them to try their hardest and to put through their minds telling them to stop,” Monroe adds. “Improve every day.”

Tiger runners to focus on team aspects of sportBY BRENT BAKERBBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - Cross country is often an individual sport at small schools. But longtime Tonasket coach Bob Thornton is hoping to turn this year’s solid turnout of athletes into a lesson of the team aspects of the sport.

“We’re trying to get the whole team to run in a pack,” Thornton says, “so that our top five or seven runners will finish within a min-ute to a minute and a half of each other. If we can do that we can beat teams that have just one or two good runners.

“The team aspect of cross country is something that is not always understood well. A team running together, helping and pushing each other, cannot only make themselves better but beat teams with a couple of better runners.”

In cross country, a team is scored based upon the place fin-ish of its top five runners (one point for first place, two for sec-ond, etc.), with low scores beat-ing high ones. Sixth and seventh place finishers serve as tiebreak-ers.

With six girls and 12 boys turn-ing out for the teams, the team scoring opportunities that haven’t been there in the past will add a new dimension to competi-tion this year. Plus, the move out of the Caribou Trail League into the Central Washington B League means that, for a change, the Tigers will have more runners than most other league teams, rather than competing as the smallest cross country running school in the CTL (Okanogan has

not had a cross country team). Returning to lead a young girls squad are junior Jenna Valentine and sophomore Johnna Terris.

For the boys, seniors Smith Condon and Abe Podkranic, juniors Bryden Hires and Adrian McCarthy, and sophomore Hunter Swanson return from last season.

Thornton is also looking to make this season a fun one.

“We want to eat lots of ice cream and enjoy running,” he says. “Running is a lifetime sport. We have at least two Tiger alumni running half marathons this fall. It doesn’t end with high school, or even college.”

New faces, new league for Tiger volleyball squadBY BRENT BAKERBBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - It’s hard to know what to expect from the Tonasket volleyball team this season.

The Tigers have a new var-sity head coach in Pam Leslie. They move out of the ultra-competitive Caribou Trail League, which had the top two 1A teams in the state last year, into the Central Washington 2B North Division.

Finally, they have only two players who started the season on last year’s varsity squad.

“We have only a few seniors and a large number of freshmen (in the program),” Leslie says. “This is going to be a learning and building year.

“My focus will be simple: serv-ing and serve receive. If we can be successful at those two things, we should be OK this season.”

Seniors Rachael Sawyer and Alissa Young are the two return-ing seniors, and are joined by senior Allison Glanzer.

Juniors Kasey Nelson and Vanessa Pershing are the only upperclassmen on the varsity ros-ter.

Leslie says that in order to meet their goals, the team needs to work on becoming stronger and faster, focus on being effective, smart servers, and spend plenty of practice time working on fun-damentals and defense.

The level of competition should also be better-suited to a young squad. State cham-pion Cascade and state run-ner-up Chelan are no longer on the schedule (along with Omak and Quincy. Brewster

and Okanogan move into the CWL with the Tigers, but other foes will include Manson, Lake Roosevelt, Liberty Bell, Bridgeport and Oroville, none of which escaped the 2B district

tournament last season.Leslie adds that plenty of con-

ditioning work will be on the

practice menu.“We will likely be the most-

conditioned team in the league,”

she says. “If we can’t out-play, we will at least be able to outlast other teams.”

Hornets look to continue riseBY BRENT BAKERBBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

OROVILLE - Oroville’s volley-ball team turned in its best season in 18 years in 2013 with an 8-8 record (5-3 Central Washington League) and qualifying for its first district tournament since 1996.

The Hornets return five of the eight regulars from that squad. But it will be a more difficult road to hoe for the Hornets as Okanogan, Brewster and Tonasket join the Hornets’ league (Okanogan and Brewster both enjoying playoff success at the 1A level).

New head coach Nicole Hugus, who assisted last season, will lean heavily on seniors Rachelle Nutt, Jessica Galvan, Andrea Perez and Monica Herrrera, along with junior Mikayla Scott.

“I expect a lot,” Hugus says. “We had a good season last year and have five players returning. The challenges we face are that we have two new setters to the team this year. Communication

is going to be very important.”Scott developed into one of the

league’s better hitters last year, and Nutt cements the defense

along the net with her blocking. Freshman Hannah Hilderbrand adds some height to the front line that last season’s squad lacked.

Perez, Galvan and Herrera also bring back the experience of last year’s run to the playoffs.

With 26 players turning out,

the Hornets are also developing depth in the program that they hope will sustain the success they had last year.

Hugus says she has been impressed by the dedication of her upperclassmen, who will play under their third head coach in three years. Before last season, the Hornet varsity had one just won match in three years before turning things around.

“I want to emphasize team-work and leadership,” she says. “They have shown a lot of commitment and love for the game.”

2013 SEASON IN REVIEW

We would like to take this opportunity to wish ourNorth County athletes the best of luck with their upcoming

FALL SPORTS SEASON!

Washington state high school modifications to FIFA soccer rulesAs much as any game, soc-

cer rules often differ from those seen in the major professional leagues, especially in regards to substitutions. The following is a summary of the modifications made at the high school level to FIFA laws that govern the sport worldwide.

LAW 1: THE FIELD OF PLAY

FIELD CONDITIONS

Up until the moment the game begins, it is the responsibility of the host institution or game man-agement to judge whether or not the condition of the field, the elements and other conditions affecting the safety of the field of play allow for a safe game to begin. Once the game begins, and until it ends, the determination of whether or not a game may be safely continued shall be made by the referee.

LIGHTNING GUIDELINES

When thunder is heard, or a cloud-to-ground lightning bolt is seen, the thunderstorm is close

enough to strike your location with lightning. Suspend play and take shelter immediately. Once play has been suspended, wait at least 30 minutes after the last thunder is heard or flash of light-ning is witnessed prior to resum-ing play. Any subsequent thunder or lightning after the beginning of the 30-minute count reset the clock and another 30-minute count should begin.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION DEVICES

The use of electronic commu-nication devices is allowed in the bench area. These devices, how-ever, cannot be used to commu-nicate with athletes on the field during the game.

LAW 3: THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS

SUBSTITUTIONS

With the permission of the ref-eree, either team may substitute an unlimited number of players at any stoppage.

CONCUSSION RULE

Coaches:• Shall educate their athletes

on the signs and symptoms of concussion and encourage ath-letes to notify a coach if they or a teammate exhibits those signs or symptoms.

• Shall immediately remove from participation/competition any athlete who is suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury.

• Shall not allow an athlete who has been removed from play because of a suspected concus-sion/brain injury to return to play until the athlete has received written clearance from a licensed health care provider trained in the evaluation and management of brain injuries.

BLOOD RULE

An athlete who is bleeding, has an open wound, has any amount of blood on his/her uniform, or has blood on his/her person, shall be directed to leave the field until the bleeding has stopped, the wound is covered, the uniform and/or body is appropriately

cleaned, and/or the uniform is changed before returning to com-petition. That player shall leave the field but may be replaced.

LAW 4: THE PLAYERS’ EQUIPMENT

COACHES’ RESPONSIBILITY

Each head coach shall be responsible for ensuring that each of his/her players is properly and legally equipped. The head coach shall receive the first caution issued for an illegally equipped player. All subsequent cautions for illegally equipped player(s) shall be issued directly to the player(s) and not the head coach.

LAW 7: THE DURATION OF THE MATCH

LENGTH OF PERIODS

The match lasts two equal peri-ods of 40 minutes. The WIAA recommends that middle level schools play two equal periods of 30 minute halves or four equal quarters of 15 minutes.

Periods may be shortened

if mutually agreed upon or in any emergency, by agreement of coaches or ordered by the ref-eree, provided it is determined to shorten the periods before the game or before the second period.

The referee is responsible for keeping the time of the game. If the field site has a clock, it shall be run to 2:00 then official time will be utilized which includes stop-page time kept on field. The ref-eree will indicate to both coaches as to how much time remains.

In the event a game must be suspended because of conditions which make it impossible to con-tinue play, the referee shall declare it an official game if one complete half or more of the game has been played. If less than one-half of the game has been played, the game may be rescheduled from the start, or restarted from the suspension of play.

INTERVALS BETWEEN PERIODS

The halftime interval shall be 10 minutes unless opposing coaches mutually agree to a dif-ferent length.

TIE GAMES

State Tournament Games: Two (2) golden goal five (5) minute overtimes. If still tied, kicks from the mark will decide the results.

LAW 12: FOULS AND MISCONDUCT

PLAYER SEND OFF

A player, substitute or substi-tuted player who has been shown a red card may remain in the team area.

COACH / ADULT BENCH PERSONNEL

A coach or other adult bench personnel, who has been cau-tioned, should be shown a yel-low card. A coach or other adult bench personnel who has been shown a red card must leave the vicinity of the playing area imme-diately and may not have con-tact, direct or indirect, with the team during the remainder of the game. Failure to comply shall result in termination of the game.
