Shockers enjoy homecoming week By Joel
Harding Empire Press Correspondent
By Joel Harding
Empire Press Correspondent aterville students enjoyed homecoming week Oct. 5-10. Dress-up days, buff-puff volleyball and powder-puff football, homecoming royalty, a parade through town and a dance were all part of the fun. Stu-
W
dents enjoyed themselves and the community was involved as well. For the dress-up days, there was widespread student participation. The elementary students were invited to join in spirit day on Friday and wear their Shocker colors. The most involvement among the older students was on blackout day when everyone wore black. Central Washington Grain Growers won the business decoration award with a window full of Shocker letter jackets, annuals and memo-
rabilia from past years. In the opposite gender games on Wednesday, the junior/senior teams won twice. In the volleyball buff-puff match, the older boys were victorious in two games of 25-18. The sophomores and freshmen won the third game, 26-24. McKaylin Gormley, Kalah Toomey and Kelsey Browning coached the upperclassmen, and Elaina Thomsen, Stephanie Chavez and Sarah Velasquez coached the younger players. During the powder-puff game, the older girls were
dominant, winning 30-0. Kelsey Browning made contributions with two touchdown runs and a touchdown pass to Matilde Coria. McKaylin Gormley had a 70-yard touchdown return on an interception. Kalah Toomey caught a 25yard touchdown pass. The volleyball team took a match win from Soap Lake on Thursday evening, but lost to Kittitas on Tuesday. The football team lost to Liberty Bell on Friday evening. SEE Shockers on page 5

Medicaid Mythbuster No. 2: Source and Quality of Care By Jon M. Bailey
Guest writer for the Center for Rural Affairs constant complaint about Medicaid is that fewer healthcare providers take patients on public insurance programs, and the resulting quality of care suffers. The facts, however, tell a different story. According to the Commonwealth Fund Biennial Health Insurance Survey nearly all Medicaid (95 percent) and private coverage patients (94 percent) have a regular source of health care. The quality of care (rated excellent or very good) is higher for Medicaid patients (55 percent) than for those with private insurance (53 percent). Unfortunately, uninsured people are severely disadvantaged in both respects. Only 77 percent of those without insurance have a regular source of health care. And only 40 percent of uninsured rate their care as excellent or very good, compared to 55 percent of those with Medicaid. Those with private insurance are slightly better able to schedule a same day or next day medical appointment (58 percent) compared to those on Medicaid (53 percent) or uninsured (43 percent). But those on Med-

‘A Great Place to Come Home To’: Tabatha Mires
This is the third of a series of profiles featured ahead of the sixth annual NCW Community Success Summit, which IRIS (Initiative for Rural Innovation & Stewardship) is convening in Waterville on Nov. 12. This year’s theme, “A Great Place to Come Home To,” celebrates the return of people from multi-generational families to the community. It also welcomes the contributions and successes of more recent arrivals who have chosen to make their home here. For more information about the summit visit www. irisncw.org.

about five years and have been here about 38 years.” Tabatha has a wonderful answer for why Waterville is a great place to come home to. “This community, this school, the people and how you feel supported by all those pieces and how there is so much tradition and so much support,” she stated. Tabatha explained how Waterville, in her opinion, is better now than when she
was a teenager. She said, “Waterville has always been great but Waterville is better now than it was when I was a kid. I think because of the work with leadership and character and focus on our mission here. I think our students are more inclusive. I think they support one another more.” Mires also added her attraction to the local landscape in that, “you forget how unique it is until you visit other places and come back and see Pine Canyon or Moses Coulee.”

Those who oppose expanding Medicaid, as provided in the Affordable Care Act, use these myths to support their arguments. But the facts tell us that the right choice, the only moral choice, is to extend Medicaid coverage to the hundreds of thousands who fall into the Coverage Gap, where working Americans who don’t currently qualify for Medicaid and whose income is too low to participate in the new health insurance marketplace.

Each candidate’s responses, with a 300-word limit, is in his or her own words.
Bridgeport School District, Director Pos. 4 (Nonpartisan office, four-year term)
Wayne van Zwoll 1. What do you see as the key issues that the Bridgeport School District currently faces? Are there projects of changes that you would like to help put in place? Providing high-quality education in a test-driven curriculum; providing personal attention to students in everlarger classes; meeting un-
funded mandates from the state (eg. limiting class sizes); funding local infrastructure (building, facilities) for a rapidly growing study body, with a limited and narrow property tax base. 2. What education and experiences do you have that would help you serve well in this position?
Age: 65 City: Bridgeport Work History: Early: farming, state and federal natural resource agencies; recent: journalism-teaching (high school and university), but mainly writing, photography (16 books and nearly 3,000 magazine articles) Education: Bachelor of Science degree, Michigan State University; Master of Science degree, Oregon State University; doctorate degree, Utah State University

In the last 10 years, I have been actively involved in the community and have established ongoing collaborative relationships with community organizations to promote access of services to children and families. I am a good communicator and my bilingual and social skills allow me to interact skillfully with a diverse population.
Age: 42 City: Bridgeport Work History: 2014-present: social service specialist at the Department of Social and Health Services, Children Administration; 2011-2014: center manager at Inspire Development Centers; 1995-2011: family support and mental health coordinator at Enterprise for Progress in the Community (EPIC) Education: Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology, Ashford University, Clinton, Iowa; Associate of Arts and Science degree, Wenatchee Valley College, Omak; infant/ toddler Child Development Associate (CDA) certificate; preschool Child Development Associate (CDA) certificate Personal: Lived in Bridgeport for 25 years; married; three children; enjoys spending time with family, reading and taking on new challenges; “Cultural values and traditions are important to me. Respect, honesty and integrity are principles I strive to uphold in everything I do.”
Ayde Garza 1. What do you see as the key issues that the Bridgeport School District currently faces? Are there projects of changes that you would like to help put in place? A key issue currently facing Bridgeport School District is the continuous involvement of parents in their child’s education. It is not only important for a parent to be active in their child’s learning at a young age but continue as they grow and develop. Continuing parent involvement in middle and high school children is just as critical. Parents should be
aware of what the educational plans and goals of the district include. Learning is a continuous process that occurs inside and outside the school. Incorporating culturally appropriate ways of communicating with families can help increase involvement. Parents’ awareness of the academic expectations and standards can help them contribute more to their child’s education. 2. What education and experiences do you have that would help you serve well in this position? I have a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and a Child De-

Eastmont School District, Director Pos. 5/At Large (Nonpartisan office, four-year term)
Stephen Piccirillo 1. A Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Report (posted on the Eastmont School District website) states that 42.7 percent of the district’s 2013-14 student population is Hispanic/Latino. Three initiatives in the draft of Eastmont’s 2015-16 Strategic Improvement Plan call for upgrading non-discriminatory grading policy procedures to reduce grading discrimination, increasing Spanish language instruction for native English speakers and increasing bilingual staff. Are you satisfied there is a commitment and capacity to make those improve-
ments? Why or why not? Yes. The Eastmont School District’s commitment to increasing the percentage of the staff that is bilingual is ongoing and measurable improvements have been made in this regard. On the issue of grading practices, WSU staff recently completed an audit of the district’s grading methods and, while the report was favorable regarding the district’s current grading methods, we are acting on recommendations from this audit that we believe will improve our grading practices. We have the commitment, capacity and passion to ensure that all of our students have access to the finest learning
environments possible. 2. Which specific programs would you like to strengthen within the district, for example vocational/applied learning, arts programs, bilingual education, kindergarten, or others? This past year the Eastmont School Board made a fundamental investment in our arts and music programs. Going forward, I believe we should be focusing on our vocational/applied learning programs to ensure that Eastmont School District students have access to course offerings in these programs that will ensure they are career and college ready at the time of graduation.

Eastmont School District, Director Pos. 1 (Nonpartisan office, four-year term)
Cindy Wright 1. A Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Report (posted on the Eastmont School District website) states that 42.7 percent of the district’s 2013-14 student population is Hispanic/Latino. Three initiatives in the draft of Eastmont’s 2015-16 Strategic Improvement Plan call for upgrading non-discriminatory grading policy procedures to reduce grading discrimination, in-
creasing Spanish language instruction for native English speakers and increasing bilingual staff. Are you satisfied there is a commitment and capacity to make those improvements? Why or why not? Yes I am satisfied, because the strategic improvement plan is a directive from the board to the superintendent for him to give to his administrators. Ultimately they will be held accountable to implement these programs.
2. Which specific programs would you like to strengthen within the district, for example vocational/applied learning, arts programs, bilingual education, kindergarten, or others? As a board, we are bringing back programs that were cut during the financial emergency in 2006. It is important to the board to bring back K-12 music and art and to hiring staff for these positions.
John Brangwin 1. A Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Report (posted on the Eastmont School District website) states that 42.7 percent of the district’s 2013-14 student population is Hispanic/Latino. Three initiatives in the draft of Eastmont’s 2015-16 Strategic Improvement Plan call for upgrading non-discriminatory grading policy procedures to reduce grading discrimination, increasing Spanish language instruction for native English speakers and increasing bilingual staff. Are you satisfied there is a commitment and capacity to make those improvements? Why or why not? I am satisfied with the district’s efforts on the improvement plan, but will want updates from the administration on measuring the district’s progress. What I am not satisfied with is the district’s efforts at making all Eastmont graduates bilingual (English and Spanish) at time of graduation. Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world. Locally, Spanish is spoken by roughly one-third of our residents and increasing all the time. Employers in our valley seek bilingual EnglishSpanish employees. Eastmont School District should be teaching Spanish at every grade level; foreign languages are much easier to learn when started early. 2. Which specific programs would you like to strengthen within the district, for example vocational/applied
learning, arts programs, bilingual education, kindergarten, or others? In addition to improving our education of Spanish, I’d like the district to explore the following ideas: 1. Starting a magnet school as an alternative to private schools, charter schools and students “choicing” to other districts. 2. Standardized dress. 3. Decreasing standardized testing to only the minimum required by state/federal requirements/funding. 4. Starting the school day later to allow students — especially in high school — more sleep.
5. Improving “college in the classroom” as a better alternative for high-achieving students doing Running Start. 6. Better evaluating instructors, to include student evaluations. Consider pay for performance — measured not just by standardized tests but based on real teaching. I would bring a new face to the Eastmont School Board and challenge the status quo. I’d play “devil’s advocate” during board meetings — something that is sorely missing now — and get more out of a good administration.

The band and cheerleaders led the procession with the floats and classes marching behind. The football players had two floats because of their numbers. The volleyball players rode the next float. The two middle
school teams, girl’s basketball and boy’s football, were next. The players on all the teams from Mansfield came down for the parade. All the classes, including the decorated shopping carts of the middle
and high school classes, completed the parade line-up. Royalty was introduced at halftime of the homecoming football game. Ali Mires and Angel Lucero were the freshman princess and prince. The sophomore royalty were Sarah Velasquez and Johnny
Mullen. Drew Koenig and Dillon McCullough took the honors for the juniors. Senior princesses and princes were Kim Parcells and Lakin Thomsen, Joe Dahlke and Maria Mullen, and Kaionni Burke and Andy Caballero.

Time CONTINUED from page 2 says that financing from an export credit agency such as Ex-Im is required for some $11 billion of projects in the pipeline, including power turbines, generation equipment and aircraft engines. It has been a long and contentious battle; however, Congress can rectify the situation before it adjourns for the year by reauthorizing the bank. For Washington, there is too much at stake not to. According to the Puget Sound Business Journal, Washington state is the largest single beneficiary of ExportImport financing, largely due to Boeing, which sold $64 billion in Ex-Im financed exports from 2007 to 2012. But it’s not just Boeing, says Kris Johnson, president of the Association of Washington Business. “Of the 183 exporters in the state of Washington that use the Ex-Im bank, 133 are small- and medium-sized businesses.” Since 1935, the Ex-Im Bank has provided financing to foreign companies seeking to purchase American goods. The purchasers buy needed products and American companies export billions of dollars’ worth of goods each year — $37 billion in 2013 alone. A federal agency, the bank borrows money from the Treasury Department and
pays interest on the funds to the Treasury. It then lends that money to foreign companies at higher interest rates. The Ex-Im Bank is selfsupporting through interest payments and fees. No tax money is used and, in fact, the bank generated a $1 billion surplus for the U.S. Treasury in 2013. Congress provides funding for the bank’s Office of Inspector General and sets the bank’s lending limit. Companies like Ethiopian Airlines need the ExportImport Bank to secure its loans to buy Boeing aircraft. It hopes to buy more than two dozen planes in coming years, but will consider going to European rival Airbus if the U.S. Ex-Im Bank stays out of business, the Wall Street Journal reported. The Ex-Im Bank has been clouded in controversy. Some in Congress question whether the federal government should be involved in providing loans and loan guarantees to foreign customers of U.S. companies. They believe companies like Boeing should finance aircraft sales themselves. The U.S. airline industry, led by Delta Air Lines Inc., sued the Export-Import Bank over its long-standing support for Boeing’s sales to foreign airlines. Delta and other airlines say the loans
allow foreign carriers to purchase planes at below market prices, giving them an unfair advantage against U.S. carriers on international routes. But our strong dollar and weaker growth hampers U.S. exporters. America’s exports of goods and services were down 3 percent from a year earlier in the first seven months of 2015. Exports fell 3.2 percent in August, according to the Commerce Department. Declining exports, combined with a lack of U.S. Ex-Im Bank funding, is “a double-whammy,” says David Ickert, finance chief of Air Tractor Inc., which makes small aircraft for the agriculture industry. The bottom line is many foreign companies say they can’t secure financing from commercial banks without some kind of governmentbacked financing or guarantee and most developed countries, our competitors, secure loans through their own Ex-Im banks. As difficult as it maybe, it is in our collective best interest to resurrect the bank. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist.

Mansfield School District, Director Pos. 4 (Nonpartisan office, four-year term)
Jackie L. Tupling 1. What do you see as the key issues that the Mansfield School District currently faces? Are there projects or changes that you would like to help put in place? As with all small schools, Mansfield faces fluctuating student enrollment. The school needs to have a model in place that will best use the funding that it receives to serve all students. Staffing and spending needs to be looked at yearly, making sure they are in line with revenues and adjustments need to be made as needed. I would like to get more
involved with the school and all its programs. Our school is the hub of our community and I want Mansfield school to be a positive influence in our community. A place kids want to go and parents are proud of. 2. What education and experiences do you have that would help you serve well in this position? I have over 30 years of job experience in administration and customer service. More specifically, experience in developing and implementing regulations, rates and policies; experience in developing, maintaining and distributing
information including correspondence, board resolutions, contracts, surveys, analysis, meeting minutes and marketing publications; experience in collaborating and coordinating with state, federal, and tribal entities; excellent working relationship with public agencies, schools, community organizations and customer groups; and knowledge and experience in payroll, accounts payable/receivable, grant writing, state reports and budget preparation. I have also held many positions on a variety of committees and clubs that help prepare me to serve on the board.

City of East Wenatchee, Council Pos. 1 (Nonpartisan office, four-year term)
Art Murison 1. The city has established an Alcohol Impact Area to reduce problems of alcohol abuse along Valley Mall Parkway and the Apple Capital Loop Trail. The area includes six alcohol licensees, five of which have voluntarily agreed to restrict selling highalcohol content products for six months. If there is no reduction in alcohol abuse after six months, would you support a city petition to the Washington Liquor Control Board for mandatory restrictions on
products sold by liquor licensees in the impacted area? I would support this but at this time reports back to the council have been positive with the voluntary restrictions. Businesses that had complaints have reported less problems since restrictions, more police presence in the problem areas were implemented. I have been to council meetings when these issues were brought up. 2. The city is investing funds in a Gateway Project that would require
property purchases, traffic revisions including possible roundabouts, and increased access between the Apple Capital Loop Trail and the Gateway. What are your preferences for design and funding for that project? The project has been budgeted for with the general fund and is still waiting final designs and as I understand, this has to do with the traffic revisions and what the state has to say in this. Have been at council meetings when this is being discussed.
John D. Sterk 1. The city has established an Alcohol Impact Area to reduce problems of alcohol abuse along Valley Mall Parkway and the Apple Capital Loop Trail. The area includes six alcohol licensees, five of which have voluntarily agreed to restrict selling highalcohol content products for six months. If there is no reduction in alcohol abuse after six months, would you support a city petition to the Washington Liquor Control Board for mandatory restrictions on products sold by liquor licensees in the impacted area? The city made the correct decision in addressing the
alcohol abuse problem. I would support seeking the expertise of the Washington State Liquor Control Board in the event that the present approach is ineffective. 2. The city is investing funds in a Gateway Project that would require property purchases, traffic revisions including possible roundabouts, and increased access between the Apple Capital Loop Trail and the Gateway. What are your preferences for design and funding for that project? Just about any alternative to the present situation would be better than what we have now. What should be a welcoming and prac-
tical introduction to our city is anything but that. I would be interested in viewing and considering all options. While I am not opposed to roundabouts, I cannot envision how it would be done. All funding options should be explored but we should not hesitate to share in funding local improvements.

City of East Wenatchee, Council Pos. 5 (Nonpartisan office, four-year term)
Sandy McCourt 1. The city has established an Alcohol Impact Area to reduce problems of alcohol abuse along Valley Mall Parkway and the Apple Capital Loop Trail. The area includes six alcohol licensees, five of which have voluntarily agreed to restrict selling high-alcohol content products for six months. If there is no reduction in alcohol abuse after six months, would you support a city petition to the Washington Liquor Control Board for mandatory restrictions on products sold by liquor licensees in the impacted area? The alcohol impact question asks if I would support mandatory restric-
tions, if the voluntary restrictions yielded no reduction in alcohol abuse after six months. Public safety is an important factor in this issue and if no reduction or positive result was achieved after six months then perhaps we will need other alternatives. I am hopeful that this voluntary restriction will yield positive results in which I will be in support of the mandatory restriction. 2. The city is investing funds in a Gateway Project that would require property purchases, traffic revisions including possible roundabouts, and increased access between the Apple Capital Loop Trail and the Gateway.
What are your preferences for design and funding for that project? I know that many people have very strong opinions about roundabouts. They can have increased efficiency in the right traffic situations. I do not have enough traffic flow and design layout information to say affirmatively on whether I support a roundabout in this location at this time. Location of traffic lights and a roundabout are critical for consideration for many reasons; particularly pedestrian traffic crossing Highway 28 in addition to managing traffic during peak hours. Once we have an efficient design and project cost estimate, we can then address funding.

Randy Agnew 1. Development underway is expected to significantly increase the population and change the rural character of Rock Island. What actions would you undertake to increase more development, restrict development or continue at the same pace? First, I’d like to say that I don’t believe the government should be determining the pace of private development. That said, I do believe the government has the responsibility to ensure that things get developed in a rational and safe manner via zoning rules, building codes, etc. We don’t want a skyscraper in the
middle of a bunch of farms or a smelting plant in the middle of urban housing. My goal is to make sure the city can provide the streets, water, sewer and other service capabilities to keep pace with the needs of the private developers and market demand. 2. A proposal is currently being considered to use an existing plant in Rock Island as a garbage transfer for Waste Management. What actions would you would undertake to prohibit or create that transfer station? As a city councilman, and mayor if I’m elected, I’ve always felt that it is my duty to represent, advocate and
vote for what is in the best interests of the citizens of Rock Island. Not what’s in the best interest of a private garbage company, the people on the west side of the state or even Rock Island City Hall. The issue of a garbage transfer station isn’t quite as simple as it may seem. The main reason being because the only rational place it could be built is on the old silicon plant property, which is not owned by the city, and which nobody seems to know if or how contaminated that property is, and if or how much clean up may be required before anything could be built there. The possible

Assuming the contamination/clean up issue was
resolved, I would have to consider what, if any, benefit a garbage transfer station would provide to the citizens of Rock Island. So far, I haven’t heard of any.

Town of Waterville, Council Pos. 5 (Nonpartisan office, four-year term)
Joseph R. Johnson 1. How long have you lived in Waterville and how have you kept current with issues affecting the town? I have currently been a resident of Waterville for two years now and previously lived in Entiat for several years. I keep up with the current issues through reading the Empire Press, Wenatchee World, KPQ news and word of mouth. I have sat in on town meetings and keep current through
the local flyers and input from the mayor’s address. I know there is a huge study about water usage and upgrading the town’s service. I do support that effort and know that new services will be better for our city. 2.

see in Waterville and they are: a) Gay marriage.

Douglas County Fire District 2, Commissioner Pos. 1 (Nonpartisan office, two-year unexpired term)
Ettore J. Castellente 1. Would you be in favor of a ban on private fireworks under certain conditions in the district? Why or why not? Before any local government official considers joining an effort to ban fireworks, the fire chiefs and fire marshals should be consulted. Gathering all of the facts regarding actual fireworks-related fire causes and potential hazards vulnerability would provide an official with the needed facts in determining support for such a ban. The effort to ban fireworks should not be driven by politics. I would be in favor of considering a ban if the facts supported discontinuing the private use of fireworks. 2. What actions, both voluntary and mandatory, would you recommend that citizens, businesses,
municipalities, county, state and federal agencies undertake in a collaborative effort to reduce both the danger and destruction from wildfires and to improve the resiliency of landscapes in Fire District 2? As soon as possible, I recommend that all of the fire agency chiefs and their respective partners in the other state and federal agencies participate in an after-action review of all of the most recent destructive wildfires of this current season and determine the following: 1. Are the current public education messages to property owners effective regarding defensible space and other simple solutions to prevent the spread of wildfires on their property? 2. What other preventive measures need to be applied
or enforced? 3. What specific preventive and suppression measures should each municipality consider in order to ensure proper prevention of and control of spreading wildfires? 4. What collaborative efforts, based on current findings, should be considered by all levels of government — federal, state, county and local? After all of these studies are conducted in a very timely manner, leaders of all of these entities should meet to collectively address what efforts are needed to apply a preventative plan prior to next year’s wildfire season. Whether your personal property was lost due to wildland fires, or just someone else in your county — all community members suffer a loss.
Rick McBride 1. Would you be in favor of a ban on private fireworks under certain conditions in the district? Why or why not? I believe that the ban that was in effect this year went well. I’ve been in the fire service for 33 years and have seen an increase of fires and injuries from fireworks. We live in such a fire-prone area that the risk is too great. The public fireworks display is a great way to celebrate the Fourth of July. 2. What actions, both voluntary and mandatory, would you recommend that citizens, businesses, municipalities, county, state and federal agencies
undertake in a collaborative effort to reduce both the danger and destruction from wildfires and to improve the resiliency of landscapes in Fire District 2? The National Fire Protection Agency has already put together a program that addresses this. It can be found at Firewise.org. I have included an excerpt: “In 1986, the major federal agencies with responsibility for wildfire response — the USDA Forest Service and the U.S. Department of the Interior — partnered with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to create a national project to address
the ‘wildland/urban interface’ problem.” They came up with three points for communities to address: 1. “Keeping large flames at bay by clearing a modest amount of vegetation” 2. “Ensuring small flames in grass or shrubs could not touch the home” 3. “Using nonflammable roofs to minimize the damage that embers can cause” I believe not only the Fire District commissioners, but also all local governments should look at this seriously. By adopting ordinances, we can prepare for future developments and address currents issues.

Cider Fest provides a weekend of orchard fun By
Karen Larsen Empire Press Correspondent
O
rondo Cider Works held its annual Cider Fest harvest celebration Oct. 10 and 11. The festival provided a lively and fun-filled day for guests of all ages. Field games, including a ball toss, inflatables, a jolly ball raceway, a tire course, an apple slingshot and more provided long hours of fun for children of all ages, and even for their parents. Up above, there were bin train rides, a barbecue, hard cider tasting, a pumpkin patch, a straw pyramid, farm animals and live music. Families from neighboring towns and cities, and some from further away, enjoyed the chance to celebrate harvest in the orchard. Luz Segura of Manson said that this is the third or fourth year that she has had a birthday celebration for her son Sebastian at Cider Fest. She said Sebastian’s birthday is Oct. 12, so it works perfectly each year. Her extended family came and they all en-
joyed bin rides and games. Barbara LePage of Mercer Island brought her twin grandchildren Piper and Rowin Boehme. LePage and her husband own a vacation home in Chelan and Cider Fest was a fun way to spend a day with their grandchildren. “I definitely recommend it,” LePage said. Piper and Rowin didn’t show any signs of being ready to leave the ball toss area, let alone the whole game field, so it looked like LePage was committed to be there for awhile. Grandmother Pam Miller drove from Seattle Oct. 10 to have a birthday party for her grandchildren Penelope and Ollie Miller, who live in Wenatchee. The two children both have birthdays in October and like to celebrate at Cider Works each year. “This is what they chose,” Miller said. She added that the children have come for a number of years and have learned a lot about how orchards work. They especially enjoy watching fresh cider be pressed. Throughout the festival area, young people in red Cider Works T-shirts helped children enjoy the games, directed parking and otherwise helped the day to go smoothly. For Annie Chavez, a seventh-

Chavez was in the game area and she said it was fun to see how excited the kids were and to help them enjoy the games. Hannah Poush, who is the
daughter of Cider Works owners Chuck and Sharon Podlich and who serves as human resources manager, said that Cider Fest is not about making a profit, but rather is a chance to bring the public in to see orchard life and to help Cider Works
celebrate another harvest. Poush said that Cider Works has been having a festival since 2004, but that it has grown bigger over the last three to four years. She said Oct. 10 that attendance for the first day of this year’s festival was strong.

Speaker tells tales about Washington fruit By Joel Harding
Empire Press Correspondent umanities Washington speaker Julia Harrison visited the Waterville Library Oct. 8 and shared stories about blackberries, apples and strawberries for the program “Ripe for the Telling: Surprising Stories of Washington Fruit.” As an anthropologist, Harrison discussed the origins, uses and applications of “sweet things,” also known as Washington state fruit, and told unusual stories of people, past and present, involved in horticulture. Harrison started off by describing the first blackberry, native to Central Washington. It was a small and seedy, but tasty. This was commonly dried and eaten by indigenous tribes in the area.
H
Later on, a project headed by noted California botanist Luther Burbank helped to introduce the Himalayan blackberry — a much larger and juicier berry — to Washington state. Because it is a more aggressive species, the Himalayan blackberry is much more common, especially in western Washington. In describing how native Americans also welcomed the Himalayan berry, Harrison said, “to gather and dry the small berries took a greater number of calories than they provided to the person who consumed them.” Harrison also spoke about the apple, the fruit for which Washington is most famous. Originally, the only apples in Washington were crab apples. Those were edible but, like indigenous black-
berries, were small. However, because there were apples in Washington, early settlers brought other varieties which were larger, tastier and easier to preserve than the crab apples. The first imported apple seeds were planted at Fort Vancouver in 1829. An original tree still stands and Interstate 5 was slightly rerouted to preserve it. Harrison also discussed the relationship of the apple crops and the railroads. Once apples could be shipped greater distances, they needed to be more durable. These apples were mostly used for eating. But apples are also commonly used for cider and pies. Many of those apples are grown and sold locally. Harrison talked about apple crate labels, which have become an art form, and
the large numbers of apple festivals, held wherever the fruit was grown. She also mentioned that the apple industry first developed the use of migrant labor to pick the fruit. Harrison completed her presentation by talking about strawberries. These berries came from the eastern United States along the Oregon Trail. Once established in the Northwest, they were a candidate for export when transportation became available. Asians, especially Japanese, became associated with strawberry farms, first as pickers and then as owners. River valleys in the Puget Sound area were prime locations for growing strawberries. Bainbridge Island was also a center for the berries. Harrison talked

about that industry being primarily dominated by Japanese owners before World War II. However the relocation of Japanese Americans early in the war changed that demographic. Harrison provided a unique presentation about local fruit and how industries developed around it.
Coyotes edge Shockers in volleyball By Joel Harding
Empire Press Correspondent he Kittitas volleyball team visited the Shocker Dome Oct. 6 and came away with a win against the Waterville/Mansfield team. The Coyotes won three sets, 25-23, 25-16 and 27-25 to earn the match victory. The Shockers battled hard but lost the match. Too many long serves and long returns by the home team gave Kittitas the edge. Wa t e r v i l l e / M a n s f i e l d fought back in the first set from an eight-point deficit, but the Coyotes took the final two points. In the last set, the score was point-forpoint throughout the game, but again Kittitas scored the final points to win. One of the issues the Shockers had was that they were unable to sustain serving runs that have helped them in matches which they have won. The Coyotes were very efficient in returning serves.

Mountain Lions beat Shockers 40-22 in homecoming game By Joel Harding
Empire Press Correspondent iberty Bell visited Waterville/Mansfield Oct. 9 and went away with a 40-22 win in the Shocker homecoming game. Waterville/ Mansfield started slow but picked up momentum as the game wore on. The Lions were able to build an 18-8 lead by halftime, but the Shockers came back strong in the fourth quarter. It looked good for Waterville/Mansfield on the first drive until Liberty Bell intercepted a Nolan Ruud pass on their own 10-yard line. After a long run by the Lions, the visitors were able to cross the goal for the first touchdown of the game. Ruud’s tackle late in the drive was a classic noseto-the-numbers stop that dropped the Lion in his tracks. Waterville scored late in the first half. Cody Deshazer recovered a Lion onside kick attempt. Then Ruud ran a bootleg for a dozen yards. Dillon McCullough then took
L
the team on his shoulders with a series of five- to 12yard runs that brought the Shockers close to the goal line. After a holding penalty, Ruud came back with a screen pass to Mansfield’s Zane Salcido for the score. A pass to Lakin Thomsen on the conversion was complete. Waterville/Mansf ield’s second touchdown drive came after the team began to experiment with formations. On some plays, they spread the field by using flankers and slots. Other times, they added another blocker in the backfield. The result was success. Waterville/Mansfield was able to take over on downs on the Liberty Bell 21. Ruud got half the way to the goal line on a nine-yard run and Salcido took it in the rest of the way. The conversion was unsuccessful. The final score by the Shockers was exciting. Salcido made a great open field tackle and Matt McCullough sacked the Lion quarterback for 10

Empire Press Correspondent ith strong serving and dominant net play, the Waterville/Mansfield volleyball team beat the Soap Lake Eagles in three out of four sets Oct. 8. The Shockers took games one, two and four by scores of 25-15, 25-15 and 25-19. Soap Lake won the third game by the score of 25-23. For much of the match, the Waterville/Mansfield game at the net was blistering. McKaylin Gormley and Kalah Toomey had 10 kills each. Elaina Thomsen had six kills. Rochelle Laney had five kills. The serving was not quite as
W
overwhelming, but dramatic in its own right. Gormley and Laney led the team with seven aces each. Kelsey Browning had four, Toomey had three and Kim Parcells had two. Laney was 21 for 21 from the service line and Gormley was 18 for 19. Toomey was 12 for 13 and Parcells was 12 of 14. Maria Mullen had five of six and Browning had 12 of 16. Parcells led with 16 digs, followed by Toomey with eight, Laney with five and Mullen with five. Both Gormley and Thomsen were ominous at the net with three blocks each. Waterville/ Mansfield had long serve runs in each game but the last, and
serve runs have often given them leads which cannot be surpassed. Coach Alyssa Moomaw stuck with the starters for most of this game, however Mullen made some good plays and Stephanie Chavez saw action as well. The C team dropped a 25-6 loss to the Eagles. The junior varsity topped Soap Lake in the first game but dropped the second and third by scores of 25-16 and 25-23. Waterville/Mansfield hosted White Swan at the Shocker Dome Oct. 13. The Shockers will travel to Mabton Oct. 15 and expect to trip up the Vikings as they did at Waterville Sept. 29.

Mansfield Theatrical Company presents ‘Spied!’ By
Adrienne Douke Empire Press Correspondent
T
he Mansfield Theatrical Company presented their production of “Spied!” Oct. 2-4. The play was one of several activities held during the annual Mansfield Lions Club Auction weekend. “Spied!,” written and directed by Mansfield resident Diana Mickelson, is a two-act comedy set in “Anywhere, U.S.A.” Harriet Lawson, played by Mickelson, has an inquiring mind and she wants to know what her neighbors are up to. Harriet thinks she knows because she listens to their conversations through a glass placed against the wall. But things aren’t always as they appear, as Harriet finds out. During Act 1, Harriet becomes convinced that Gudren Vander, played by
Lori Paine, and Karl Vander, played by Tom Paine, are Russian spies because she hears Gudren say through the wall, “This shouldn’t be too difficult of an assignment.” Harriet begins to think out loud to George Lawson, played by Jim Mickelson, “They plan to get us apart so Karl can pick your brains about your computer program!” She starts to think about how she can foil the assignment. Lawson is slightly more circumspect in his analysis of the new neighbors. He diligently directs his wife to more productive tasks, like cooking, baking and quilting. The plot twist comes when Harriet is convinced that Gudren and Karl are spies and that they are trying to find out the secret of George’s computer programming. Harriet thinks a clue might be found in Karl’s wet shoes he left in the hall. Harriet retrieves the shoes and listens intently to one
shoe and then the other. She wonders how to activate the shoes. Meanwhile, Karl realizes he’s missing his shoes. When Karl and Gudren go next door, they catch Harriet red-handed and the whole story comes out. It turns out Karl Vander was a famous author who travels to keep his imagination fresh. The scene concludes with a reasonable explanation from the neighbors and Harriet suitably chagrined. However, that doesn’t stop Harriet from using her ear glass again in Act 2. The members of the Mansfield Theatrical Company are all Mansfield community members. Under the experienced direction of Diana Mickelson, they can turn out a play that captures the imagination and provides entertainment and cultural enrichment. Mickelson encourages everyone to try acting. Lori Paine, a member of the cast for several seasons said, “It’s always an adventure, you never can tell what is going
Museum film series begins Oct. 20 WENATCHEE — The 15th annual Wenatchee Valley Environmental Film Series begins its 2015-16 season with a showing of “The Big Burn” at 7 p.m. Oct. 20 at the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center. The film tells the story of a devastating wildfire that swept across the Northern Rockies in 1910. The fire devoured more than three million acres in 36
hours, killed 85 people, and shaped firefighting policies for the fledgling U.S. Forest Service for the rest of the 20th century. Jeff Ostenson of North 40 Productions will also show the trailer of his film project, “The Truth about Wildfires.” He, retired Forest Service fire management officer Bruce Keleman and John Marshall, photographer for the museum’s current
“Wildfires and Us” exhibit, will speak briefly and answer questions after the film screenings. The event is free, but a donation of $5 is suggested. The film series is co-sponsored by the Wenatchee Valley Museum, Trust for Public Land and Chelan-Douglas Land Trust. The museum is located at 127 S. Mission St. For more information call 888-6240.

During this hectic season, between shuttling the kids from activity to activity and trying to enjoy the holiday spirit, it can be difficult to get a wholesome, homemade meal on your family table, day in and day out.
