Quincy leaders reach out to Confluence Health BY JILL FITZSIMMONS editor@qvpr.com Several local leaders, including those representing Quincy Valley Medical Center, have invited Confluence Health to visit the community to talk about what the Wenatchee-based medical provider can do for Quincy. The written invitation, which was initiated by the Port of Quincy, is expected to be sent to Confluence Health in the coming days. The invitation was supported by severBrian Kuest al local leaders who Commissioner gathered at a special meeting on Sept. 2. Jeff Davis, vice president of business development and special projects for Confluence Health, confirmed on Tuesday that the medical provider has an interest in serving Quincy. However, no conversations have taken place

about what Confluence’s presence may look like, Davis said. “We don't have an interest in Quincy Valley Medical Center. We have no interest in in-patient care in any form or fashion,” Davis said. “We do have an interest in Quincy.” More than 30 people attended the leadership meeting. They represented such organizations as the Quincy Valley Medical Center, the port, the Quincy School Board, Grant County Fire District No. 3, the Grant County Health District, Quincy Community Health Center, the Quincy City Council, Grant County commissioners, the Moses Lake Community Health Center and the Quincy Valley Chamber of Commerce. Minutes from the meeting state that port commissioner Brian Kuest opened the floor to discuss "Confluence interest in establishing in Quincy." Comments were given about not only the importance of the hospital to the community but its financial struggles and the district voters' unwilling-

ness to support a special hospital district levy last November, according to the minutes. The minutes also state the group agreed to "invite Confluence to meet and describe what their plan for Quincy is." After the levy was turned down by the community, it became apparent that the community needed to address the question of what kind of quality healthcare is needed in Quincy that is sustainable and affordable, Kuest said of why the port initiated talks with Confluence Health. "It is going to have to be a blending of efficiencies that make a quality healthcare (system) for Quincy," he said. Kuest, who the group charged with writing the letter, said he planned to bring a letter before the port at its Wednesday meeting before sending it to Confluence Health. Kuest expects that several agencies, including the port, City of Quincy and the hospital, will sign the letter. He hopes Conflu-

NEWS BRIEFS City center stage at Seattle symposium

The City of Quincy’s $24 million water reuse utility project took center stage last week at the 30th Annual WaterReuse Symposium in Seattle. The annual four-day event brings together water managers and industry leaders to talk about water reuse policy, operations and technology. Mayor Jim Hemberry spoke of the city’s own challenges and actions. Since 2007, the city has Tammara Green/Post-Register been making progress on a Another successful George Washington Bluegrass Festival came to massive project that intea close last weekend. Among the performers on Saturday were Kevin grates its industrial and municipal wastewater treatment Pace and the Early Edition.

ence Health will accept the community’s invitation in the coming month and schedule a presentation with the Quincy leadership group. Medhi Merred, CEO of Quincy Valley Medical Center, said the hospital is open to any options that build a stronger, more viable healthcare model in the community while retaining physicians in Quincy. "I am always open to looking at other options," Merred said. He and the hospital board members also appreciate the input from the local leaders, Merred added. Confluence Health, an affiliation between Central Washington Hospital and the Wenatchee Valley Medical Clinic, currently is in the process of exploring an affiliation with Samaritan Hospital in Moses Lake, Davis said. It also is building a primary care clinic in leased space in Ephrata. Confluence Health has 23 locations in 11 cities that are as far north as the Ca-

systems. The city is designing a “one-water” system that addresses water supply and water quality issues. The Quincy Water Reuse Utility project is a four-phased, multiple-year water infrastructure project that’s expected to be completed by 2018. “As we have heard in multiple presentations and work sessions this week, and have read in headlines from around the world, our water supply is valuable,” Hemberry said in his opening remarks. “And it’s threatened in multiple ways that limit capacity, availability and use. Our collective job is to seek solutions to reduce these threats to water quality and supply, improve conservation efforts and increase our ability to re-use water over and over again.”

QSD enrollment looks steady this year

At this time, enrollment at the Quincy School District appears to be steady. Superintendent John Boyd said the QSD has 2,835 students this year. “We are looking at exactly where we were last year,” he said. "We are not up, and we are not down.” At the QSD board meeting on Tuesday, members heard a presentation about the Highly Capable Program and its process of identifying students who qualify. As part of the process, teacher Camille Jones said, all third-graders will be given a CogAt 7 test. “It is sort of like an IQ test – cognative abilities,” she said. We will be testing in February and in February collecting the data.”

Report: Industrial users benefit PUD

LOCAL NEWS

School pride soars

BY JILL FITZSIMMONS editor@qvpr.com

The growth in the last 10 years in ag-related food processors and data centers in Grant County has resulted in an additional $150 million for Grant PUD over the last 10 years, according to a recently released report. “Without the load growth that we had over the past 10 years, our revenues would have been 12.1 percent less,” PUD spokesman Chuck Allen said. In addition, to make up for that $150 million, the utility would have had to increase rates by 12.1 percent, Allen said. PUD staff on Tuesday presented Grant PUD commissioners with the report. The report was meant to explore – and answer – the question of whether industrial load growth from 2005 to 2014 financially benefited or hurt the district. The results show that the district benefited from the industrial load growth. The report isn’t necessarily surprising; however, it does add some science to that answer, Allen said. In 2004, Grant PUD powered the entire county with 341 average megawatts of electricity. Last year, that need had grown nearly 46 percent to 497 megawatts, an approximate annual growth rate of 4.6 percent. Utility projections estimate the county will use an average of 698 megawatts by 2030. The report comes as the PUD prepares to hold its annual budget hearings. Public hearings are 2 p.m. on Oct. 13 at Grant PUD offices in Ephrata and 6 p.m. on Oct. 13 at the Moses Lake Fire Station, 701 E. 3rd Ave. in Moses Lake. Increases in power rates have been hotly debated at times this past year, as Grant PUD commissioners have adopted a costof-service method when establishing rate increases through 2023. The policy stipulates customer classes must pay at least 80 percent of the cost of providing their electricity and can’t pay more than 15 percent over the cost of service. The two user groups currently most out of line with their cost of service are irrigators and large industrial users. Irrigators pay more than 40 percent below the cost of providing their electricity while large industrial users pay about 35 percent above their actual cost.

Have you seen a giant bird roaming the halls of Monument Elementary School, home of the eagles, recently? That’s the Monument eagle. In the photo above, the Monument eagle greets students Alejandro Trujillo and his younger sister, Olivia Trujillo, on the first day of school. The eagle has been a fun addition to the school, said principal Marcia Hershaw. The mascot builds school pride and adds a little excitement in the day, Hershaw said. “We wish for our students to feel a sense of enthusiasm and unity through the use of our mascot,” she said. “We feel pride in our school as teachers and want these feelings to be felt throughout our student body as well.”

Confluence, from page 2 nadian border and extend to Moses Lake and Royal City, Davis said. Meanwhile, the hospital's warrant line with Grant County is at $3,058,000, Merred said. County commissioners last year set the warrant line cap at $3 million and warned any warrants submitted over that cap may not be paid. County Treasurer Darryl Pheasant said the county is waiting to see if the hospital administration follows through on promises to make more cuts to bring that warrant line down. While some cuts have been made, hospital revenues this summer were down, Pheasant said. The county also is waiting to see if any action comes from a future meeting with Confluence Health, he added. Part of the reason the hospital is over the county's cap is because concert season at the Gorge Amphitheatre required additional staffing on concert weekends, Merred said. The hospital expects to be below that cap by November, after at least $500,000 in property tax revenue arrives from the county in late October, he said. At this time last year, the hospital’s warrant line was at $4.2 million, so the hospital is making progress, Merred added. "We are asking for their patience," he said of the county.

Scarecrows to again liven up Quincy businesses

Pumpkin patches opening this weekend

Staff report

The Quincy Business Association invites the community to join other local businesses that will be creating scarecrows to decorate the town for the month of October. Scarecrows can represent a business or follow a sports or Halloween theme. Or they can be a superhero or just a favorite person or character. The business association encourages people to use their creativity. The association also asks that scarecrows be put up the week of Oct. 1 to show a community-wide effort. If you would like to participate, but do not have a store front or an area to place your scarecrow, the association can place the scarecrow in an appropriate spot downtown. Some scarecrow tips are: Use PVC, rebar or wood to assemble the skeleton. Do not stuff with hay, which can cause mold issues. Use plastic bags, balloons, empty containers or jugs, packing pellets, etc. For the head, the association recommends a plastic pumpkin, Styrofoam or a burlap bag.

Fall is in the air in the Quincy Valley, and that means some of our favorite annual events and celebrations are upon us. If you're looking for a way to get into the harvest spirit, check out these upcoming events: Beginning this weekend, the Quincy Valley Lions Club, in conjunction with Becerra Gardens, will be hosting its annual maze and pumpkin patch. The popular kid hangout is 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 25. Halloween is open to groups by request only. The entrance fee is $6 a child, which includes one pumpkin per person. Group rates are available. New this year, the Harvest Moon Pumpkin Patch off of Highway 281 also opens on Saturday. The pumpkin patch is open 11 a.m. to dusk and will be open Thursdays through Sundays. A special grand opening on Oct. 3 will feature special prizes and giveaways for visitors. The pumpkin patch, 4 Spanish Castle Road between Trinidad and Rock Island, is on 1.5 acres and offers some 20 varieties of carving and decorative pumpkins. Cost is $2 for the children's hay maze and $2 for the children's game area. Cost of pumpkins not included. The Grant County Historical Society presents its annual Pioneer Day on Saturday. There will be displays and demonstrations throughout the event, which is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Grant County Historical Museum, 742 Basin St. N.W. in Ephrata. The Grant County Sheriff's Posse will be performing a mock bank robbery and street shootout, and lunch will be sold by the Art Semro Post No. 28 American Legion in the gazebo.The museum closes for the season Sept. 30, re-opening May 4. And don't forget the 13th Annual Harvest Festival on Oct. 10, hosted by the Quincy Valley Historical Society and Museum. The free festival, which is 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., puts oldtime skills on display in a free, hands-on festival at the Reimann-Simmons House, off of Highway 28 in Quincy. Live entertainment and food will be available.

Jill FitzSimmons/Post-Register

The Quincy Business Association invites businesses to once again celebrate the harvest by putting up scarecrows. This older gentleman was outside The Cambridge last year. Place your scarecrow in a spot where it will be safe from the elements, as it will be up for a month. Keep those scarecrows clean or the public to enjoy.

Looking Back: 1918 1918: The photo was taken of Crescent Bar around 1918. An article in the Quincy Quill 10 years earlier reports about 30,000 trees were planted in 1908 at Crescent Bar. Most of the trees were apple and peach trees. Of the peaches, only about 5 percent “missed.” However, about 25 percent of the apple trees needed to be replaced. In 1908, land at Crescent Bar cost $250 to $350 an acre. The information was taken from “They Claimed a Desert.”

U.S. facing historic ﬁscal crisis A couple of months ago, the Congressional Budget Office issued a sobering report on the U.S. economy’s long-term prospects. Not to put too fine a point on it, we’re headed for the fiscal rocks. Federal spending accounts for about 20 percent of the nation’s GDP, the budget analysts note; if current trends continue, that will rise to fully 25 percent by 2040. Revenues will not keep up — they’ll amount to only 19 percent of GDP. Here’s what the non-partisan CBO has to say: “Mainly because of the aging of the population and rising health care costs, the extended baseline projections show revenues that fall well short of spending over the long term, producing a substantial imbalance in the federal budget. As a result, budget deficits are projected to rise steadily and, by 2040, to raise federal debt held by the public to a percentage Lee Hamilton of GDP seen at only one previous time in U.S. history — the final year of World War II and Columnist the following year.” We face a fiscal crisis of historic proportions. Our presidential candidates can talk all they want about American prosperity and world leadership, but without a firm fiscal base it’s just hot air. Unless we can stabilize the debt and put the country on a path of sustainable economic growth with prosperity evenly shared, we’ll have no firm economic base for all those lofty goals to rest upon. This means tackling a host of complex problems. We have to get long-term debt under control. We have to preserve Social Security yet find a solution to rising entitlement spending, which will be a key driver of federal spending for decades to come. We have to deal with health-care costs, which pose the same challenge. We have to invest in skills, education, and infrastructure without breaking the bank. We have to craft a simpler, fairer, less intrusive tax policy that promotes economic efficiency and is conducive to long-term growth. The people who have to do all these things are politicians who, thus far, have been unwilling and unable to take these obvious challenges head on. The problem is not with the system itself.

Similar barriers have been overcome repeatedly in the past, with reforms in Social Security in 1983, taxes in 1986, and repeatedly in budget agreements. Rather, the problem is that our leaders are divided between those who want to cut spending and those who want to boost taxes in order to expand government’s role. Yet it’s impossible to solve our problems by finding new revenues or cutting spending alone. Without doing both, we face a weakened future. It is unreasonable and unacceptable to try to continue our present course of trying to muddle through. There’s a reason that you don’t hear much talk about this in Washington. Americans themselves want it all — lower taxes without significant cuts in federal spending. But here’s the problem: Almost 60 percent of federal spending is accounted for by Social Security, Medicare and defense and national security. Add the 7 percent of the budget that goes to interest on the national debt, and there’s little room for significant progress without painful and difficult legislative action. Political leaders should grasp these realities and act now. But they have not, so it’s up to Americans to pressure them to do so. True, nothing will happen without presidential leadership. All issues will have to be on the table, because the pain needs to be shared broadly. And progress will require the adroit bipartisan participation of congressional leaders. Instead, those who believe in a single path assure us that we need only wait until the next election and they’ll get the forces they need. This is a pipedream. The electorate is too evenly divided and too volatile to sustain complete control by one side over several elections. So really, it’s up to the American people to demand action. We have to create the political will that drives our leaders to deal with these difficult economic problems — that leads them to tackle entitlements, health costs, investing in the future, and tax reform. The question is whether our political leaders are up to the task before our economy runs out of time. Lee Hamilton is director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

Dear Editor, On Dec. 18, 2001, Congress passed Public Law No. 107-89 designating Sept. 11 as Patriot Day. The purpose of this designation is to remind us to never take our freedoms for granted and that we are blessed to have men and women sacrificing to protect us while ensuring our freedoms. Traditionally, the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 28, assisted by The American Legion Post 28, has put on a ceremony to honor the United States of America and those that make this a great nation. Unfortunately due to a shortage of volunteers, we were unable to put on our annual Patriot Day Ceremony this year. However, we wish to remind everyone that as we go about our lives, young members of our armed forces are fighting the war on terrorism in countless ways. Just as veterans of earlier generations, today’s men and women in uniform understand that our precious freedoms come at a very high price. We also have men and women of our ambulance, fire, police and sheriff’s departments who give of themselves every day to help protect us and our freedoms. We owe these heroes, not just those who gave of themselves on 9-11-01 but also those who have given throughout our history and those who are still giving today, a vow to never forget their sacrifices. In addition, we owe them a promise to tell future generations of the price paid for their freedoms. Taking those freedoms for granted is a sure way to lose them. There is a saying: “Freedom shall endure.” Well, it won’t if we neglect our responsibilities in preserving it. As a nation united, we must remain committed to supporting the men and women of our emergency services and armed forces as they serve with courage and honor.

FFA president looks to make her mark in ag BY JILL FITZSIMMONS editor@qvpr.com Compared to some other Quincy-area teenagers her age, Liz Neilson is a relative newcomer to agriculture. While she’s lived in Quincy all her life, she didn’t grow up on a working farm or ranch. She didn’t even go to the Grant County Fair for the first time until about five years ago. But something ignited inside Neilson, a senior at Quincy High School, around the eighth grade when she joined 4-H. The following year, she joined FFA at the high school. "It sparked and from there it just took off," she said of her passion for agriculture. This year, Neilson will lead about 70 of her peers as the president of the high school’s FFA chapter. The budding leader also is the president of the state’s District 9, which includes FFA chapters from 16 high schools. Mike Wallace, FFA advisor at QHS, has much faith in his new president. He described his student as a charismatic young lady who shows much

poise and confidence. "She's pretty energetic," Wallace said. "If she makes her mind up to do something, there isn't going to be a whole lot that stands in her way of getting it done." The daughter of Dan and Frances Nielson, Neilson’s face is a familiar one around the high school. She is playing varsity volleyball and expects to play basketball in November. She’s also the president of the high school’s DECA club. As president of both FFA and DECA, Nielson knows there are many stereotypes for both clubs. She’s hoping she can influence the two sides and bring them together. "I am hoping to kind of bridge that gap," she said. In sports, you're only as good as your weakest link, Nielson added. FFA is more individualized, which means there’s lots of room to excel – if you want to, she said. "There's no limit to how good you can be," she said. Nielson has had a positive attitude since she was young, said Kaye Baumgartner, a longtime family friend. "Her spirit is positive and

chapter, the person who determines how active the chapter will be, Wallace said. Nielson will be an asset to the officer team and motivate the younger members, he said. "Liz is going to do a great job of that," Wallace said. Looking ahead to graduation, Nielson has her sights set on Washington State University or the University of Idaho. She's wanted to be a veterinarian for many years. In fact, she and her older brother had a pig-breeding business, selling piglets to other FFA members or locals for meat. However, the energetic

Nielson now is considering studying ag communications and politics so she can help the "whole ag industry in general," she said. She wants to be someone who initiates change, she said. In her time in FFA, she’s also learned how far reaching the industry is. There are few jobs or industries that are not impacted by agriculture, she said. "You can always relate it back to agriculture," she said. Wallace is anxious to see where life takes Nielson. "She's going to be one of those people who makes a difference in the world," he said.

Mary was a very bright woman with a great sense of humor. She handled the farm finances and was always there to help family and friends with their personal needs. She was active in her church, teaching CCD for many years. Mary loved her garden, especially her roses. She enjoyed her greenhouse and was known for nursing everyone's plants back to health.

Volleyball defeats Lady Bulldogs BY KURTIS J. WOOD sports@qvpr.com The Lady Jacks have had a nice run in non-league action to start the 2015 volleyball season. They stand at 3-1 after wins over Prosser and Ellensburg and placing second at the Ephrata Invitational over the weekend. Quincy has one non-conference match remaining this Thursday against Ephrata (1-3). Quincy d. Ellensburg 13-25, 25-21, 25-23, 15-25, 16-14 The big news for the Lady Jacks came on Tuesday night when they defeated the Lady Bulldogs (3-1) in five sets. A rough first set seemed to set the tone for Quincy, as they could not get anything going. But they recovered with back-to-back wins, before Ellensburg knotted the match at 2-all. In the fifth set, The Lady Bulldogs jumped out to a 14-8 advantage. But Sam Kleyn came to the line to serve and Quincy reeled off eight straight points for the win. “It was by pure determination, hustle and guts. They were so determined to win, and literally nothing hit the floor the last eight points,” said coach Nicole Dreher. “It helped that Sam was back to serve for us. Ellensburg also had a few errors on their side, like net calls, etc.” Kills: Natalie Thomsen 14; Sam Kleyn 8, Alex Bassett 6, Erin Nieuwenhuis 3. Aces: Bassett 7, Jaclyn

They swept Sedro Woolley (25-16, 2521), Connell (25-18, 25-15) and Kiona-Benton (25-20, 25-20) to reach the finals. Quincy lost their final game to Ephrata 27-25, 25-23 and settled for second place. Thomsen recorded 28 kills and three blocks, Alex Bassett had 18 kills, two aces and four blocks, Sam Kleyn had 17 kills, two aces and blocks and Erin Nieuwenhuis had five kills and three blocks. The two middle blockers, Heidi Bishop and Liz Nielson, combined for 12 blocks and 15 kills, while defensive specialist Kaitlin Ramsey had 38 digs.

Soccer edged by Chelan Staff report Bea Avalos may not beat you with her speed and she may not have been a goal scorer in her first three years, but if the senior finds herself with a shot on goal nowadays it’s a good bet she won’t miss. Case in point: The senior forward took an assist by Gabby Flores in the fourth minute and found the back of the net against Chelan on Saturday. A quick move past the goalkeeper, along with breaking free from a Chelan defender led to her second goal in the 77th minute in Quincy’s 3-2 loss to the Lady Goats during Saturday’s non-league contest. “Gabby put in and Bea put it back across the goal,” said coach Eric Nelson. “All you have to do is get it past the goalie.”
