A new shot on farming Omlin farm finds niche in the craft distillery business BY JILL FITZSIMMONS editor@qvpr.com It isn’t often farmers can identify a spud or ear of corn in a grocery store that came from their field. That’s why, after 30 years of farming, Arnie and Phyllis Omlin are excited to see their family farm on the label of their newest endeavor – growing corn and rye for Woodinville Whiskey Co., a craft distillery that released its first 5-year-old bourbon last month. The beautiful custom label on the straight bourbon whiskey reads in part, “All of our staple grains are cultivated exclusively for us on the Omlin Family farm in Quincy, Washington.” It might be pride, but there’s something about that label that excites him, said Arnie, who also manages the two (soon to be three) barrel houses on his farm where the whiskey is stored and aged to perfection. “This is different,” he said. “I can put my finger on something and say I am part of that. We are part of the brand.” The Omlin family and its Quincy farm have played an important hand in the company’s success, said Orlin Sorensen, co-owner of the Woodinville Whiskey Co. Woodinville Whiskey has created the first craft whiskey aged in a full-size barrel for a comparable length of time of those in the Kentucky region, which produces about 95 percent of the nation’s whiskey. “Frankly, we would not be close to where we are at without the Omlin family,” Sorensen said. “They have supported us on so many levels – grain supply, warehousing and inventory management. Arnie has allowed us to focus on growing our business and

Phyllis and Arnie Omlin may be the only farmers in the Quincy area growing rye. After 30 years in farming, the Omlin family started growing the crop to supply it, as well as corn, to the craft distillery Woodinville Whiskey Co. The new venture has paid off, and Woodinville Whiskey last month released its first 5-year-old bourbon, made from grains grown on the Omlin family farm. production while he takes care of logistics on that end.” The grains grown on the Omlin farm are mashed, distilled and barreled in the Woodinville distillery, then trucked back over the Cascade Mountains to the barrel houses on the farm. On one recent day, a semi-truck delivered 92 barrels, each weighing about 550 pounds and holding about 53 gallons of newly barreled whiskey. The Omlins, along with a few friends, were busy unloading the barrels and rolling them into the barrel houses, where they will be mapped by age and stacked, or ricked as they say in the craft distillery business. The massive rows of the barrel houses are six barrels high in parts and nine to 11 barrels deep. Arnie figures there will be 10,000 barrels stored on his property when the third barrel house is completed

and filled. “We didn’t have any idea when we first said yes,” the Quincy farmer said recently while sitting with Phyllis among the barrels. The Omlin family found its way to the Quincy Valley soon after irrigation was first brought to the Columbia Basin in the early 1950s. Today, Joel Omlin, Arnie and Phyllis’ son, is the third generation in the family to farm in Quincy. The Omlin farm is a small but diversified farm. The family owns about 200 acres and farms about 650 acres in irrigated row crops. Farming can be a tough life, and anyone who has farmed as long as he has could probably say they were in danger of going broke at least three times, Arnie said. And for him, after 30 years in the business, there were aspects of farming that just weren’t See Whiskey, page 10

Post Register NEWS BRIEFS Man facing 9 months in jail for Gorge accident

EPHRATA — The California man who drove through a crowded campground at a Gorge Amphitheatre festival will be sentenced in October. Tanner Alexander Drayton Williams, 19, pleaded guilty Sept. 9 to vehicular assault and reckless endangerment in the Memorial Day weekend incident, in which he injured four people, three of them seriously. Grant County prosecutors seek a sentence of nine months’ jail time, to be imposed in an Oct. 12 hearing. The term would include six months in the vehicular assault plea plus 30 days for each count of reckless endangerment. Williams, of Woodland Hills, Calif., was arrested May 23 during the four-day Sasquatch! Festival after he drove a friend’s Volkswagen Touareg through the Gorge campground at about 8:55 a.m. The SUV ran over tents with festival attendees still sleeping inside them. Three of the four injured campers were hospitalized, including an Oregon woman who suffered a fractured skull, back and pelvis. Williams had no alcohol in his blood but admitted to Grant County sheriff’s deputies he’d taken tablets of Ecstasy, eaten psilocybin mushrooms and smoked MDMA in the course of the weekend.

Commissioners lift county-wide burn ban

EPHRATA –Due to the recent cooler temperatures and moisture, as well as a reduction in the overall fire hazard conditions, the county-wide burn ban has been lifted. The Grant County Board of Commissioners and the fire marshal announced the lifting of the burn ban on Wednesday. The use of burn barrels is prohibited and only natural vegetation may be burned.

New BBCC drone program to focus on ag applications

BY MIKE IRWIN Wenatchee World

MOSES LAKE — When it comes to drones, the community college here wants to teach you to fix ’em and fly ’em. A new $2.6 million program to train drone technicians and pilots will launch in fall of 2016 as part of Big Bend Community College's expanding aviation curriculum, the college announced last week. The new program, titled “New Opportunities in Aviation,” will focus on agricultural applications of drone technology, such as measuring crop acreage, checking irrigation and analyzing effectiveness of fertilizers or pesticides. “The opportunity to use a

Leas said students in several of the college’s programs will likely be interested in the new drone classes, including those in computer science, commercial piloting and aviation maintenance, along with science, technology, engineering and agricultural offerings. The federal grant will provide around $520,000 a year for five years, according to Leas. The first year of the grant is dedicated to hiring staff, developing curriculum, renovating 5,560-square feet of an existing college hangar for lab space, developing an advising system and training advisors. The $2.6 million federal grant was received from Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI), which provides funds to help local Hispanic students complete college degrees.

new UAS education program and our 50-year aviation tradition to serve one of the most diverse and productive agricultural areas in the world is exciting,” said Terry Leas, BBCC president. “It will have a ripple effect,” he added. “The UAS program will create connections among many of our existing educational programs.” “UAS” refers to unmanned aerial system, the technical name for what’s commonly known as a drone. The new program’s three components will include “mechatronics,” the mechanics and electronics of drones; piloting of UAS devices; and “pathway advising,” or the counseling of students on the benefits and requirements for enrollment in the drone curriculum.

Executive director of Grant County EDC resigns

MOSES LAKE – The Grant County Economic Development Council announced Executive Director Jonathan Smith has resigned to become the president and CEO for the New Vision Yakima County Development Association. “We very excited for Jonathan and the new opportunity ahead for him and his family,” said Juanita Richards, board president. The EDC plans to retain a search firm to help the organization choose Smith’s successor. The goal is to have a new executive director on-board in early 2016, Richards said. Smith starts with New Vision on Oct. 21. In his time with Grant County, Smith has assisted more than a dozen companies in relocating or expanding in Grant County, creating more than 1,000 full-time jobs. Smith said of Quincy, “Quincy is a posterchild of successful rural economic development. The port and city are very proactive. Instead of waiting to see what the city will become they use all the means available to them to create the community they want to have. I have learned so much from working with the port commissioners and the city.”

Runaway pickup crashes into bank Staff report A runaway pickup last week crossed a parking lot before crashing into the east entrance of Washington Federal Bank in Quincy. On Sept. 25, the driver of the runaway pickup had stepped outside the vehicle to use dumpsters in a gravel parking lot that’s adjacent to the bank’s property when the pickup started in motion, Quincy Police Chief Bob Heimbach said. The moving pickup performed something of an act of marvel, rolling between two cars parked a space apart from one another as well as two trees. It then continued past the obstacles and missed another car parked outside the bank. And nothing stopped the runaway vehicle. “Well, yeah, the bank did,” Heimbach corrected. The pickup crashed into the bank after traveling some 30 yards, the chief said. The accident happened at about 1:15 p.m. Minor damages were re-

bank. Madera, who apparently tried to get back into the vehicle to stop it, was taken to Quincy Valley Medical Center, where she was treated and released.

August figures show that the month was Quincy Valley Medical Center's most profitable of the year. The hospital had a net income of $83,861, according to figures from QVMC. Net operating revenue in August was $877,294. The hospital at this time is operating at a net loss for the year of about $500,000. The hospital's board of commissioners was to meet on Monday; however, the meeting was rescheduled to Thursday because of a lack of quorum. Commissioners will be asked to approve nearly $118,000 in charity care and bad debt adjustments for September. If approved, charity care and bad debt adjustments will be at nearly $530,000 for the year.

Looking Back: 1910 This photo was taken around 1910. Early day harvesting took a large crew of men and horses. Wages were 75 cents to $1 a day for a 13- to 14-hour work day.

Someone, somewhere is studying us If someone unfamiliar with the area asked you to describe your city or community what would you say? How would you summarize Moses Lake, Ephrata, Warden or Quincy in a few sentences? How would you describe the region, its diversity and its quality of life? This is such an open-ended question that the conversation could go almost anywhere. You could talk about tourism, schools, healthcare, transportation, housing, workforce or the economy. Most of us don’t have these kinds of conversations on a daily basis, but the reality is that every day someone somewhere is evaluating, analyzing, studying, assessing and scrutinizing our community. This could be someone who has just gotJonathan Smith ten a job offer and is looking to move to the area. It could be a current resident who is Grant EDC trying to learn more about public safety and other government services. It could be a business that is looking at the area as a potential location for a new facility. It could even be a local company that is comparing our region’s assets with those of another community. The questions asked in each of these scenarios will vary greatly. However, each will expect their answers to contain these common elements. The information being sought must be verifiable, reliable, accurate and easy to understand. In short, it must be information that can help them make informed decisions. This is the reason that the Grant County Trends Website (www.grantcountytrends.ewu.edu) was developed almost five years ago. The website provides detailed information for over

130 different indicators of the Grant County community. From population growth to housing costs to commute times to the top crops grown in the region, just about every facet of local life is covered in some way. Wherever benchmarking is possible, the information provided is compared to information about Washington and the nation as a whole. For example 12.3 percent of the Grant County workforce is employed in manufacturing. In isolation, what does 12.3 percent mean? Is that a good percentage of manufacturing jobs? Is it high? Is it low? More information is needed to put this into perspective. The website also shows that only 9.6 percent of the state’s workforce is employed in manufacturing. This reveals that as a percentage, the Grant County manufacturing sector is almost a third larger than the state’s manufacturing sector. Knowing the rate of employment in manufacturing, or the infant mortality rate or even how many fishing licenses are sold in the area, may help you win a game of “Central Washington Trivial Pursuit,” but it is an entirely different exercise to seek out this kind of information to help make important decisions. Decisions such as what industry to pursue an education in, where to seek healthcare or where to start a new fishing-related business. These kinds of decisions are made every day. In the absence of a trusted friend, or expert in the field, these decisions are sometimes made based on instinct and gut reaction. With the Grant County Trends Website, individuals and organizations can make more informed decisions. Jonathan Smith is the executive director of the Grant County Economic Development Council. He is the new chairman of the Washington Economic Development Association.

Dear Editor, “How do you keep your hope alive?” someone asked my friend the other day. My friend thinks we’re at a tipping point in our understanding of what it means to live on this earth inextricably connected to our fellow human beings and the natural environment. She says we’re experiencing something like the cataclysmic shifting of the earth’s geologic plates, except that these “plates” are in the social, moral and spiritual world in which we live. Our consciousness of what it means to be human is being shaken to the core, she says, as she looks at the picture of Aylan, the little 4-year-old Syrian boy whose body was washed up on the beach. I think my friend is right. The human race is experiencing an “earthquake” in its soul. Reminds me of these words of Thornton Wilder: “When we come close to humankind there are layers and layers of nonsense.” And these words of Martin Luther: “If we could see our sin the way God does, we’d drop dead.” These words have in them the jarring sound and feel of the moral, social and spiritual “plates” of the universe shifting, moving, announcing the end of our old way of living on this earth, and our old consciousness of what it means to be human, so that a new way of living and a new consciousness can rise from the rubble. That’s my hope, kept alive in the crucified and resurrected Christ. Ron Moen, Quincy

Memorial wall honors local firefighters' dedication BY TAMMARA GREEN QVPR contributor A new memorial wall built in front of the Grant County Fire District No. 3 fire station honors nearly four dozen men and women for their dedication and service to the district and the Quincy Valley. The memorial wall honors all volunteers and career firefighters – past and present – who have more than 20 years of service to the district. Forty-four names are currently on the wall, which has room to add more. “The memorial wall has been in the works since the station was built eight years ago,” said Don Fortier, the fire district’s chief. “We build pretty fast when there’s an emergency and take our time when there isn’t.” Volunteer firefighter Tom Keller has been with the fire district for nearly 37 years and

is among those named on the wall. “My aunts and uncles were volunteers,” Tom Keller said. “Don Fortier is my uncle. My two brothers were also volunteers. It was sort of a family tradition.” Other professional firefighters, such as Jim Kling and Rick Smith, have been been working with the department for many years. Kling started 26 years ago, and Smith has 40 years of service accumulated with the district. “I think it’s important that we recognize 20 years of service to anyone who has provided that level of service to the community,” Fortier said. Current career firefighters, volunteers and support staff with more than 20 years of service who are on the wall are: Fortier, Kling, Smith, Tom Keller, Ed Bews, Dirk Dunn, Steve Evens, Duane Hardt, Dale Hille, Duane Hubbard,

Exchange student adjusts to Quincy life BY TAMMARA GREEN QVPR contributor

Marie Schlederer was in her Spanish class for two weeks before her teacher realized there was a foreign exchange student in the class. That’s because the Austrian-born Schlederer, a junior this year at Quincy High School and a Rotary exchange student, has an accent that is undetectable to some. Schlederer studied English at home, as well as German and Italian, and is now adding Spanish to her repertoire. “I am really glad to know English and understand everything,” she said. “If you don’t know the language, it’s harder to make friends in school. Since I understand everything, the teachers expect more from me.” The past few weeks have been a bit of a daunting journey for Schlederer, who was hoping to study in Canada or Australia. “I thought I was going to B.C., and then they told me I was going to Washington,” she said. “It doesn’t matter where you go. It matters what people you meet and the connections you make.” With the support of her parents, especially her father Josef, a Rotarian, Schlederer was encouraged to make the journey across the Atlantic to the United States. The trip took 20 hours. of Quincy “I was afraid of going on the plane ean-Up Dayalone because I am a little afraid of flying,” Schlederer ber 10, 2015 said. “I met two other exchange students on m to the 3:00 pmand they were replane, ally nice.

Schlederer is adjusting to the differences between the Austrian and American school systems. In Leoben, 16-yearold Schlederer is in her junior year at BG/BRG (Bundesgymnasuim) Leoben 1. At her school, students are assigned classes; they don’t choose their classes as students in the United States do. In Austria, Schlederer would have 14 subjects on her schedule for the year. Schlederer took classes such as Italian, history, math, German, geography and biology. Subjects are taught on selected days of the week. “Here the classes are the same every day, so it can be a little boring,” she said. “It is cool that you go to different classrooms and meet other students. At my school you have the same classes with the same people all year long.” Schlederer also has interests beyond school, including

mer, when her school was on their nine-week summer break, Schlederer went to a diving school in Grublsee, Austria. Upon completion of her class, her family took a vacation to the Indian Ocean, where she swam with manta rays and other sea life. In Austria, Schlederer plays floorball. The sport is like floor hockey but is played indoors with sticks and a plastic ball. “In Austria, we don’t have any school teams,” she said. “If we want to be on a team, we have to go to a club. I like that we can join teams here and it’s free.” Schlederer joined the girls’ volleyball team at QHS. It is a new experience for her; she’s only ever played an occasional game on the beach. Schlederer already has visited the Bavarian-themed town of Leavenworth, where she felt at home. To the Austrian, the tourist town of Leavenworth is similar to a typical small, Austrian village. “In Leavenworth you can also buy schnitzel and bratwurst,” she said. “The food there is the same as what there is back home.”

fun anymore, he admitted. “And then this came along,” he said. “It’s new life.” The Omlin family’s adventure into the world of craft distilleries began about five years ago with a chance recommendation from a grain broker at TCG in Pasco. Sorensen had called TCG looking for a corn supplier. Arnie was recommended. The opportunity to get involved in a new start-up business didn’t intimidate the couple; the Omlins have stuck their toes in the entrepreneurial waters several times over the years, including starting a fitness club – the now closed Studio 90 – in Quincy. “(We) have had some pretty bad ideas,” Phyllis joked. “This one has been one of the best,” Arnie said of working with Woodinville Whiskey. By 2012, Sorensen and his business partner, Brett Carlile, convinced the Omlins to also grow rye for them. The quality of the grain, cleanliness and a consistent reliable supply is one of the most important elements of the business, Sorensen explained. “Without it, we cannot produce,” he said. “Arnie was not necessarily set up to provide us with cleaned, bagged grain when I first contacted him, but he figured it out and made it happen. That’s really one of Arnie’s strengths. You

ask for something and he finds a way to get it done without a lot of back and forth. QFC in Quincy has also been great to work with in the processing and shipping of the grain.” Also in 2012, Sorensen and Carlile decided Quincy would be the perfect place to store the whiskey, some of it then 2 years old. Quincy’s extreme temperature cycles promote the extraction of natural flavors from the oak barrels, Arnie explained. The first warehouse was built and another followed in 2014. A third warehouse is under construction that will be about 9,000 square feet, or about the size of the first two combined, Omlin said. Adjusting to managing the barrel houses was another first for Arnie and Phyllis. He had “daily schooling” from Sorensen after the first barrel house went up, said Arnie, who monitors such conditions as temperature and humidity in the barrel houses. The couple’s first attempt at ricking barrels was frustrating and tedious, taking three hours to rick two rows of barrels, Arnie said. That’s because the 550-pound barrels, lifted by a loader, must be perfectly rolled onto the ricks so that the poplar bung (the barrel plug, so to speak) is at the top of the barrel (so it’s not absorbed by the whiskey). These days, it takes the couple, with the help of friend

Joe Escure, about 10 minutes to finish a row. Row by row, from floor to ceiling, Arnie sets the barrel on the rick using a “clock” calculation and loader. Phyllis then shoots the barrel to Escure, who positions it perfectly in place. Escure moves up and down the rows, balancing atop the barrels beneath him. Sorensen’s future plans call for even more involvement from the Omlins. “We will begin building a bottling plant on the farm early next year to bottle all our product in Quincy,” Sorensen said. “And if we ever go through another expansion it would likely be a second distillery on or near the farm in Quincy.” On the business side, growing corn and rye for Woodinville Whiskey has created a new niche for the farming family. The corn and rye grown for the whiskey make up about a third of his yearly crops, and he spends about half his time these days focused on the whiskey side of business, Arnie said. On the personal side, however, this new niche has given the family something new to be proud of. Wherever the whiskey goes – wherever it is bought or sold – there goes a piece of the Quincy Valley with it, Arnie explained. "Among all the great things our valley is known for, we've also put Quincy on the map for craft distilling," he said.

Lady Jacks sweep Ephrata BY KURTIS J. WOOD sports@qvpr.com The Lady Jacks have kicked off their 2015 season on a hot streak. Quincy (1-0, 5-1) won its league opener against Wapato on Tuesday and capped its non-league season with a sweep of Ephrata last Thursday. Quincy now stands at 5-1 overall this season. The Lady Jacks travel to Othello (2-0, 5-1) on Thursday for their first CWAC road game of the year and then return home to host the Quincy Invitational on Saturday.

Quincy 3, Wapato 0 25-13, 25-23, 25-20 This was one of those games where the phrase “A win is a win” comes from. The Lady Jacks capitalized on a slew of Wapato (0-1, 1-5) errors to win the first set 25-13. That limited Quincy to a handful of kills and barely any blocks. But Sam Kleyn was able to collect three kills and three assists. The Wolves put up a fight in the next two sets and Quincy nearly got caught off guard both times. The second set went back and forth until the Lady Jacks won 25-23. In the set Liz Nielson had three kills and Kleyn had eight assists, while Heidi Bishop broke a 23-23 tie with her only kill of the game. A hitting error by Wapato sealed the win. “I think they knew they were better than the score,” said coach Nicole Dreher. “We kinew they would be scrappy and put some stuff back over the net they shouldn’t. I think it threw us off.” In the final set, Quincy jumped out to a 13-3 lead, but seemed to let the Lady Wolves back into it. Finally they took control and won 25-20. “I don’t think our intensity was up,” said senior Kaitlin Ramsey. “But it’s a win and goes in the book as 1-0. “I think we really had to come together as a team.” Highlights: Natalie Thomsen 9 kills, four aces, 11-12 serving; Kleyn 5 kills, 15 assists; Jaclyn Schwint 8 assists; Nielson 4 kills; Morgan Kleyn 13-13 serving. Quincy 3, Ephrata 0 25-23, 25-13, 25-16 The Lady Jacks evened the score with Ephrata last Thursday after a three-set sweep behind the serving and defense of senior libero Kaitlyn Ramsey and the power hitting of junior hitter Natalie Thomsen. Quincy (4-1) just barely shrugged off a pesky Lady Tigers (1-4) squad in the first set. But then the Lady Jacks took control and won 25-23, 25-13, 25-16.

Cruz, Westra lead XC team BY KURTIS J. WOOD sports@qvpr.com The Jackrabbit harriers had a busy second half of the week with a league meet in Prosser on Thursday and an invitational in Prosser on Saturday. After all the dust settled Daniel Cruz and Dezarae Westra emerged as the team’s clear-cut number-one runners. Cruz showed his mettle on Saturday. The junior found himself finishing behind six Ephrata runners in Prosser. He placed 17th out of 31 runners and clocked in at 20 minutes, 3 seconds in the 5,000 meter race. On Saturday, Cruz was able to break up the Tigers’ pack and beat out two of their runners. He had a time of 19:36 on the 5,000 meter course. He was 60th out 145 runners. “He beat three of their top-5 on Saturday,” said coach Greg Martinez. Cruz ran his race more consistently on Saturday and he was able to run a faster time. “I think his mile splits were closer on Saturday,” said coach Elijah Gregg. “The course was more challenging on Saturday.” The Jacks sent four freshmen and one sophomore to represent Quincy at the league meet against Ephrata, Toppenish and Prosser. Gregg said he has a young, but promising team. “We’ve got a lot of freshmen,” he said. “I’m excited. They are good runners who need more training.” At Prosser: Ephrata 23, Prosser 44, Toppenish 60, Quincy

She placed 21st in a time of 28:18. “Hannah jumped from our eighth to our third,” Martinez said. “She was consistent. Her splits were closer than the other girls.” On Saturday she had a time of 27:59 and was the team’s second runner to cross the finish line.

BY KURTIS J. WOOD sports@qvpr.com The Battle of the Basin came down to the wire last Friday night at Tiger Stadium. Ephrata (2-2) squeaked out the 13-12 win, as neither team found a way to pull away from the other. There were 14 punts, five turnovers, three turnover on downs, three missed PATs, two missed field goals and one untimely kneel down. The Jacks (1-3) were opportunistic during the 56th Battle of the Basin. They scored twice on Ephrata miscues and nearly pulled off the win. The first was a scoop and score by defensive back Johan Farias. The Tigers were forced to punt and low snap made the punter try to elude two Quincy defenders. But he was stripped of the ball and Farias ran it back 29 yards for the first score of the game. The point-after-attempt was wide right and Quincy had a 6-0 lead. “We practice scoop and scores every day as part of our TNT (Tackles-N-Turnovers) session.” said coach Stephen Wallace. The Tigers scored in the second quarter off a 60-yard touchdown pass from Quint Ostrowski to Tyler Lutz. The PAT was true and Ephrata grabbed a 7-6 lead. The game’s

second score came after the two teams combined for eight punts. The scored remained the same until the fourth quarter, when Ephrata capitalized on a short field. An interception put the Tigers on the Quincy 13-yard line and Lutz scored his second touchdown on a 2-yard run. The PAT was blocked and the Tigers took a 13-6 lead with 5:36 left in the game. The Jacks’ next possession ended in Murphy’s second interception and it appeared the game was about over. But the Jacks defense held, and Ephrata took an inexplicable knee on fourth down on its own 43-yard line. Quincy took over possession with 2:28 left. Murphy turned to Travis Harris (7 catches, 90 yards; 3 carries, 27 yards) for a pair of catches and a 5-yard touchdown run. But the second missed PAT left Quincy trailing 13-12 with under two minutes to go in the game. “We never had a doubt. Our defense had played great all day. After our interception, prior to Ephrata’s turnover (taking a knee on 4th), we talked about the defense giving us one more opportunity and had our no huddle unit ready to go,” said Wallace. The onside kick was recovered by Ephrata’s Gavin Allen and the Tigers hung on for a 13-12 win.

The Quincy High School girls varsity softball field had a team of volunteers putting in fence posts on Sept. 19. The new varsity field is inching closer to completion, but still needs the chain link fencing and a backstop installed. Amway volunteers were: Billy Porter, Nathan McDonnell, Alisha Ford, Greg Richardson and Oscar Trevino. Other volunteers: Frank Gonzales, Jack Eaton of Microsoft, coach Bill Gonzales and Jeff Thompson of JTT Construction.

and they were louder than ever. “Our fans were here!” said senior setter Sam Kleyn, who had 14 assists. The Lady Jacks fed off the energy, especially after the first set. Thomsen knocked down 15 kills, while Alex Bassett added eight and Heidi Bishop kicked in four kills. Coach Dreher said Bishop and Liz Nielson are starting to hit more than they have in the past. “I think our main thing is intensity,” Kleyn said. “When we keep our intensity up and are yelling we are a way better team.” Another key was both setters finding their hitters. Kleyn and junior setter Jaclyn Schwint combined for 22 assists, while senior Erin Nieuwenhuis added five assists and three blocks. On defense, Ramsey collected 22 digs and added nine aces off 28of-29 serving.
