A wonderful culmination to the reading of ‘The Boys in the Boat’ By Karen Larsen Empire Press Correspondent

W

aterville Library Book Club members and members of the Friends of the Library carpooled to “An Evening with Daniel James Brown,” a North Central Regional Library event held April 9 at the Numerica Performing Arts Center (PAC) in Wenatchee.

The trip was organized by book club member Sharon LaCrosse.

The book club read

Brown’s most recent book, “The Boys in the Boat” last month and discussed the book at their April 1 meeting.

Those who attended from the Friends group had also read the book and were impressed by it.

“The Boys in the Boat,” about the University of Washington crew team that won the gold medal in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, has gripped readers across the country, and especially readers in Washington state.

Members of the Waterville group arrived at 6 p.m. for the reception that was held  SEE A wonderful on page 10

Waterville and Pateros congregations enjoy Easter cantata By Joel

Harding Empire Press Correspondent

O

n Easter Sunday, the congregation of the Waterville Federated Church enjoyed a cantata, sung by their choir and directed by Pastor Sheila Miranda. The week before, on Palm Sunday, Mi-

randa and the choir traveled to Pateros and presented the cantata to the congregation at the Pateros Community Church. Miranda’s husband Pastor Daniel Miranda is currently serving as the interim pastor at Pateros Community Church. A permanent pastor for that church will assume leadership July 1. The Pateros Community Church is associated with the Pacific Northwest Conference of the United Methodist Church.

The Waterville Federated Church Choir is made up of 15 members of the congregation.

Dee Shriner is the accompanist. Bobby Ann Willms was the narrator for the cantata.

Joyce Huber sang the solo on “Via Dolorosa.” The canata itself was entitled “Jesus Is Alive” and was created by Johnathan Crumpton.

There were five selections within the cantata. “Hosannah, Messiah” was the first and it celebrated Palm Sunday.

“Come To The Altar” was the second piece. “Via Dolorosa,” with the solo sung by Huber, was in the center of the cantata. The Via Dolorosa is commonly recognized as the route through the streets of  SEE Waterville on page 5

n Saturday, April 4, the Viebrock family gathered at the old Midway schoolhouse, continuing the 50 year reunion tradition. The schoolhouse is located on the property where the original family members all grew up.

The family that traveled the farthest to the reunion came from Olympia and the youngest was 23-month-old Greyson Pancoast, the greatgreat grandchild of Chuck and Martha Viebrock and the great-great-great nephew of Irene and Doris Viebrock.

Over 75 people came for lunch, visiting and the egg hunt. After the egg hunt, kids played on the swings and giant strides. The next ac-

Center for Rural Affairs

icroenterprise and microfinance have the power to empower people and transform lives. The concept was pioneered in 1976 by Muhammad Yunus, founder of the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and Nobel Peace Prize winner.

The bank was established for the purpose of making small loans to the poor − predomi-

nantly women – to help them obtain economic self-sufficiency.

The fundamental principle behind the Grameen Bank is that credit is a human right. This strategy was highly effective as the bank grew from 15,000 borrowers in 1980 to 7.67 million at the end of 2008.

An astounding 97 percent of the 9.4 million Grameen Bank members today are women.

A Center for Rural Affairs’ study in the 1980s demonstrated high rates of self-employment in rural areas, but no economic development strategies to help in this area. Influenced by Yunus and Grameen, the Center created the Rural Enterprise Assistance Project in 1990 to fulfill the need uncovered by that research (www.cfra.org/ reap).  SEE Creating on page 10

Creating jobs and self-sufficiency through self-employment

Vintage Market began in 2011 as a fundraiser for the Waterville Elementary School’s Parent Teacher Organization.

We will admit, that we were pleasantly surprised by its success. Over the next few years, we continued to try to find ways to expand and improve the market. So much so, that we have added a second show to our calendar.

With the addition of more vendors and a nominal admission fee at the Waterville show, we have been able to give back — not just to the PTO as we originally planned — but to other Waterville organizations such as the local food bank, skate park and Waterville

Octogenarian reflects on farming, flying, cycling

By Karen Larsen Empire Press Correspondent

N

eil Petersen started life on a farm about one mile west of Farmer’s Hall in the town of Farmer. There he, his parents and his two younger sisters grew wheat and raised cattle. They also raised or grew most of the food that they needed, which kept everyone in the family busy.

Petersen was 12 in 1942, and with many young men gone off to war, he was needed with the harvest. One day, his dad took him out into a wheat field with an old truck and taught him how to double clutch. He was an integral member of his family’s harvest team that summer, which he enjoyed very much. He also enjoyed gardening and other farm work. “It was a good life,” Petersen said.

At that time, Farmer’s Hall was a vibrant community center. “There were a lot of families back in the 30s and 40s,” Petersen said. Card parties and dances were frequently held at the hall. A store and a post office stood across the street.

Berries were one crop that was hard for most families to produce on their own.

However, a family that lived near McCartney Creek in Moses Coulee had enough water for a berry farm. When the berries were ripe, the family would bring them to the store in Farmer and sell them there. Local people would buy them to can and preserve. Fruit trees also do

not thrive on the plateau, so families traveled to Orondo to buy apricots, peaches and other fruit to preserve for the winter.

From first through eighth grade, Petersen attended the Happy Home School in Farmer. The students would ride their horses to school and then stable them in a barn next door.

Petersen has many fond memories of attending the one-room schoolhouse. Discipline was strict, and all of the students were required to study quietly throughout the day. However, when recess came they went outside and played ball or other games.

Petersen remembers playing “fox and hounds,” “wagon wheel” and “pump, pump, pull away.” The children, though of different ages, had a good deal of fun together.

Petersen also enjoyed taking part in the school’s Christmas programs each year.

When he was done with eighth grade, it was time to attend Waterville School. He had a 1935 Ford and he alternated with three other local boys, who also had vehicles, to drive the group to school.

When he was a sophomore, his family moved to a house at the foot of Badger Mountain, and he continued to drive to school each day.

From a young age, Petersen loved airplanes, and so when he graduated it was a natural thing to enter the Air Force.

He was sent to Denver to study electronics for nine months and then was sta-

tioned with the Strategic Air Command in Rapid City, S. D., where he flew B-36s. When his term of duty was over, he went home and began a career of farming on his family’s land. He missed flying, and kept up his skills by renting a plane until he was able to purchase his own in 1954.

This airplane was important in the community during the winter of 1954-55 when five feet of snow accumulated on the Waterville Plateau. Because of the limitations of the plowing equipment of the day, the roads were impassable. Petersen put skis on his plane and ran errands for people, such as delivering milk and mail.

Petersen enjoyed flying to locations around the U.S. for vacations and continued to fly until several months ago. He has passed his love for flying, as well as his airplane, on to his son Randy.

Asked if he ever wished he chose a career other than farming, Petersen said he hadn’t. “I loved it,” he said, adding that there was always something different every day and he enjoyed the chance to work outside.

During the 1960s, Sheriff Billy Mack Williams persuaded Petersen to run for the position of Justice of the Peace. Later, Petersen couldn’t convince anyone else to run for it, so he continued to serve for many years. In this position, he was responsible for solving civil matters, traffic issues and some juvenile problems. He said that

Neil Petersen is a third generation farmer and a lifelong resident of the Waterville area. he also performed marriages for six couples. All in all, Petersen said it was a difficult job because he knew everyone and though he tried to be fair, people weren’t always happy with the results. “It was a rather thankless job in Waterville,” Petersen said.

In time he developed the hobby of riding a motorcycle.

He and his wife Ailsa road together for 27 years, visiting 11 states and three Canadian

provinces entirely on secondary roads. Ailsa refused to ride on freeways.

Nowadays, Petersen has retired from farming. He enjoys eating lunch with other retired pilots each Tuesday and Thursday and breakfast each Saturday at the Country Inn in East Wenatchee. He still loves this area in which he was raised and remembers with fondness the pursuits of his life.

Orondo residents celebrate Arbor Day By Darlene Paterson Empire Press Correspondent

S

ix varieties of trees and shrubs were displayed for distribution in the parking lot beside Orondo’s Post Office on Arbor Day, April 11.

Site managers Bob and Linda Johnson said there were about 250 rooted plants available for area residents to choose from. The Johnsons have been managing the Orondo site for 10 years.

Bob has been involved in the Greater Wenatchee Arbor Day Tree Celebration since its beginnings about 18 years ago.

“Initially I wanted to be part of this program because I was interested in the conservation and preservation of trees,” he said. “Eventually I realized there was no reason why Orondo could not be a distribution site too, so we brought it here. We always do five or six varieties at this location including one conifer tree. This year’s conifer, a Colorado Blue Spruce, grows to between 60 and 80 feet.”

In addition to the Blue Spruce, Quaking Aspen, Rose

Film focuses on children and the outdoors WENATCHEE — The Wenatchee Valley Environmental Film Series presents “Mother Nature’s Child,” at 7 p.m. April 21 at the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center, 127 S. Mission St. The film addresses the value of outdoor experiences for children and is sponsored by the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust. There is no cost to attend but a $5 donation is suggested.

Land Trust staff will be on hand before and after the screening to talk about their “Kids and Nature Connections” program, designed to provide events and outings in the Wenatchee foothills that are tailored to families.

For more information call 888-6240 or visit wvmcc.org.

of Sharon, Vine Maple, Wild Mock Orange and Common Lilac were available for a suggested donation of $2 each to help cover nursery costs.

The Greater Wenatchee Arbor Day Tree Celebration begins with a packing party on the Thursday evening before Arbor Day at Ballard Ambulance building in Wenatchee. Linda Johnson demonstrated the correct method for packing a barerooted tree. “Placing seedlings into individual moist wrapping makes them ready for transport to the individual sites,” Linda said.

About 2,500 trees were packed this year. Volunteers worked in an assembly line to pack the rooted trees.

Area businesses donated prizes that were raffled off during to evening. Pizza was served to volunteers for their three-hour labor. “It is a fun evening and a great volunteer opportunity,” Linda concluded.

A Master Gardener representative is available at each distribution site for consultation. Penny Bickford, who lives south of Orondo, has been assisting at the Orondo site for the last five years.

Bickford grew up on a farm in Canada and has always enjoyed growing things.

CHURCH DIRECTORY

“When I was ready to retire from my career as a pharmacist, I decided it was time to join the Master Gardener program.”

Jenny Beck also volunteered at the Orondo site. She is living with Bickford while fulfilling her term with AmeriCorps, a volunteer community service organization. Young adults ages 16-24 serve a community at various venues. “I am stationed with Children’s Home Society,” Beck said. “I help at schools in Wenatchee and East Wenatchee with things like tutoring, mentoring, and helping children learn social skills. When I found out Penny was coming to help today, I asked if I could come too, so here I am. It has been fun.”

Arbor Day, a day planned each year for planting trees, began in Nebraska when Julius Sterling Morton, a newspaper publisher, realized that trees conserve moisture and enrich soil. Through his efforts, the first Arbor Day celebration was held April 10, 1872. The Nebraska legislature later changed the date to April 22 — Morton’s birthday — and made it a legal holiday in the state. Since then the celebration has spread and is now observed in every state at various times of the year.

It included the familiar hymn “The Old Rugged Cross.” The final selection was “Worship Christ, The Risen King,” in which the congregations participated. After only a few lines of the song, many in the

congregations recognized that the tune was the same as the Christmas carol “Angels From The Realms Of Glory.”

On Palm Sunday, when the cantata was presented in Pateros, Sheila Miranda offered the sermon along with the music at Pateros. Daniel Miranda filled the familiar pulpit at Waterville on that same day.

The adult Miranda children, with musical talent in abundance, provided the music for the Waterville worshippers.

Members of the two congregations have visited one another before. The praise team from Pateros was part of a sacred music concert in December at the Waterville church and Daniel Miranda has served the Pateros church since last September.

Port of Douglas County announces rebranding

Provided image

EAST WENATCHEE — The Port of Douglas County has finalized its rebranding effort.

The Port leadership team began efforts to revitalize its existing logo, tagline, and collateral suite in late 2014. The purpose was to freshen dated

materials, originally created over two decades ago, to match the revitalized and progressive focus of current staff and commissioners.

The effort began with the development of positioning statements, and followed with a new logo and tagline that captures the various offerings of Douglas County, its values, and solidifies the Port of Douglas County as a regional economic development leader. A full collateral suite has also been developed and

debuted in late March.

“The tagline we selected is ‘Trusted, Responsive, Ready,” explained Executive Director Lisa Parks. “These three words speak volumes about the position of the Port of Douglas County and communicate the message that the Port is ready and willing to support economic growth and prosperity within the county and region.”

The rebranding effort was led by Jennifer Korfiatis Marketing in collaboration with Carl Patterson Design.

aterville started slow against the freshman and sophomore Tigers April 7, but came back for an impressive win in the bottom half of a doubleheader. Ephrata took the first game, 6-3. In the second game, the Shockers jumped on the Tigers by a score of 10-4. They faced variety of pitchers during the last few innings after having jumped to a 3-0 lead early in the game. Unfortunately, the young Tigers took the lead at that time. Riely Stibal was the stalwart for the Shockers, hitting two sharp singles that scored runs early in the contest. He also came in to pitch two scoreless innings to complete the game.

The second game was a different story. Coach Damian Smith said that Waterville

“put together a complete game on both offense and defense.”

The field at Ephrata is lighted so darkness was not an issue as it had been at Bridgeport the week before.

The game was not over until 9:30 p.m., but continued to its completion. Nolan Ruud threw well from the pitcher’s mound in the nightcap of the doubleheader. He issued only three walks and struck out twice that many. Mat Deshazer hit a solo home run to start the Shocker spree of runs. Smith said it was the hardest hit ball by a high school player he had ever seen in his 10 years of coaching. Smith also complimented Ruud on “quality at bats“. Ruud drew three bases on balls, hit a clutch single and scored three times.

Playing at home April 11, Waterville lost both ends of

a doubleheader to the Kittitas Coyotes. The Shockers lost the first game by a score of 15-3. Nolan Ruud pitched most of the game with relief

by Riely Stibal in the last inning. The score of the second contest was 14-2.

The Shockers did well until the last two innings. One of the Coyotes hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning, which gave Kittitas an 8 to 1 edge. The, in the final inning, the Coyotes put together a string of seven runs.

There were some good individual performances, however. Andy Caballero blasted a double into left center field in the third inning, but was put out in a run down at third base later in the inning. In the fifth inning, Joe Dahlke got a walk, made his way around the bases and scored when Shaun Marchand hit a sharp infield grounder. The next inning,

Dahlke brought Nolan Ruud across the plate when he hit a solid hit which was bobbled by the Coyote second baseman.

Mat Deshazer pitched most of the game and Lakin Thomsen relieved him in the final inning.

Waterville plays again on April 18, when they travel to White Swan for a Saturday doubleheader. All the games against Kittitas and White Swan count in Central Washington 2-B League standings.

Waterville wins big at Ephrata, loses to Kittitas

By Joel Harding Empire Press Correspondent

I

n two games against the Ephrata C team, the Shockers brought along their bats. They beat the young Tigers by scores of 19-3 and 21-2.

Waterville started out with three runs in the first inning of the first game, but got an impressive 12 runs in the second inning. In the second game they scored 11 times in the first inning to clarify the direction the game would take immediately.

Kalah Toomey was a major contributor to the win with a four hit day at the plate. Marny Lowe was four-for-four at the plate as well and knocked in seven runs on her four hits.

Sarah Velasquez had four runs batted in on two hits. Evelyn Cazeres walked twice, scored three runs and got two runs batted in.

Kaionni Burke also brought two runners across the plate.

In game two, the story was much the same. Burke had two hits in three at bats, scored three runs and had three runs batted in. Julia Hinderer socked a two run

homer and had two hits and two runs. Laura Shriner and Maria Bustos both got three walks and turned each of those into runs for their team.

Toomey was perfect at the plate again with three hits in three at bats. She scored twice and knocked in four runs. The depth of the team was evident with major contributions by the substitutes in each game.

Against Kittitas on April 11, the situation was not so good.

The Coyotes got a three-run home run in the first inning and things just got worse.

Shockers got on base, but the Kittitas infield managed to catch them off base for outs.

Kalah Toomey did yeoman work behind the plate. Evelyn Cazeres’ alert play allowed a Coyote to be run down between second and third. The Coyotes emerged victorious 21-0. Marny Lowe got a single in the fourth inning to ruin a no hitter for the Kittitas pitcher.

In the second game, the result was much the same.

Kalah Toomey whacked a sharp single, them made her way around the bases to score a run for the Shockers.

McCall to speak at Orondo Community Church

By Darlene Paterson Empire Press Correspondent

H

ayden McCall, 20-yearold son of Pat and Julie McCall of Orondo, will speak at The Orondo Community Church at 10:15 a.m. April 19.

McCall returned three weeks ago from six months overseas attending University of the Nations in Townsville, Australia, followed by a six-week mission to Papua, New Guinea.

Hayden will speak about his studies at the university and adventures he experienced in New Guinea.

University of the Nations in Townsville is a Youth with a Mission (YWAM) affiliate.

Last year it purchased an old technical college in the middle of Townsville to serve as its new campus.

In addition to the university, Townsville YWAM also owns and operates a mercy ship, which travels to remote island nations to deliver humanitarian and medical aid.

Hayden McCall with some of the people he met in Papua, New Guinea.

Hayden and his classmates were the first to occupy the

new campus in Townsville.

Students at the university

spend mornings in classes, then perform ministry placement duties in the afternoon.

McCall, whose background is construction work, served on the buildings and maintenance crew. They remodeled the new campus, did landscaping/lawn work and maintained company vehicles each afternoon.

Hayden says it was good hard work but also fun. “I loved the Christian influence and being around quality, like-minded kids my age,” he said.

“Our outreach mission to Papua, New Guinea was a scouting mission for the mercy ship,” McCall continued.

Hayden is a 2013 graduate of Eastmont High School. He attended Central Washington University the following year where he played on the Rugby team, was in ROTC and took an 18 credit load each quarter.

“I enjoyed college life and being around kids my age, but I was a bit overloaded and ready for a break by the end of the year. Going overseas seemed like a good next step.”

“The experience taught me that our spiritual beings are so much more important than material things,” McCall said. “The people in New Guinea had nothing. They had to rely on God for everything, even their daily water supply. Here in America we get so comfortable we don’t think we need to depend on God. For me, money and material things are just not as big a deal as they used to be.

On April 19, I will speak about some of the miraculous things God did in New Guinea.”

McCall’s future plans include finishing his college degree and pursuing a career in law enforcement. He might also embark upon another YWAM adventure at an advanced school in Lausanne, Switzerland. There he would like to take a six-month Bible Core Course, where he would study one book of the Bible for a month at a time by going to the actual site where the book was written. He is depending on God’s guidance for his life in the days ahead.

Mansfield hosts annual spring community clean-up day

By Adrienne Douke Empire Press Correspondent

R

esidents loaded their trucks the night before and waited until the early morning of April 11 to go to the Mansfield Recycling Center.

Beginning at 8:30 a.m., they waited in line to depose of yard debris, furniture, mattresses and box springs, metal appliances, lawn mower parts, toys, bicycles, tires and inner tubes.

“The dumpsters fill up fast,” Mansfield City Clerk Tricia Sima said.

Household hazardous waste was also accepted. Mansfield residents were encouraged to bring paint thinners, solvents and cleaning products, insecticide and lawn fertilizers, contaminated motor oil, brake fluid, swimming pool and hobby chemicals, and even old batteries.

“This is a great opportunity to get rid of old junk that’s just lying around for no cost,” said Shawn Siggson, assistant to the director of public works in Mansfield.

The annual spring community clean-up day was sponsored by the Town of Mansfield, Consolidated Disposal Services, Inc., Countywide Solid Waste Programs and the Department of Ecology.

“It was great to see the Mansfield community take advantage of the free dumpsters and bring their unwanted stuff to the annual spring clean-up,” Mansfield resident Tammy DeLozier said.

Some items were not accepted, such as latex paint, fluorescent lamps and bulbs and agricultural, commercial or medical waste. Explosives, asbestos and dioxin-bearing wastes, radioactive or Poison A gases were also not accepted as well as leaking containers, fuel, demolition debris and containers larger than five gallons.

Sima kept a close eye on the rigs coming in, asking if their loads contained any of the items listed. Everybody stayed in compliance with the rules.

The recycling center was also in full swing Saturday.

The center accepts paper, corrugated cardboard, aluminum cans, steel tin cans, No. 1 and No. 2 plastics that are clear or light green, milk jugs, semi-transparent soda bottles, opaque fluorescent light bulbs, mercury halide and high-pressure sodium bulbs, according to Chris Strotha, program assistant for the Countywide Solid Waste Programs. For more information on the hours of operation for the recycling center, call Mansfield City Hall at 683-1112.

Mayor Tom Snell was pleased with the turnout and the full dumpsters saying, “It was another good clean-up for our town.”

The clean-ups provide a valuable service to the Mansfield community because residents can no longer burn paper and wood products and so they bring them to the clean-up events. Keeping the town clean is also important for public safety, as it keeps fire hazard down and limits places for vermin to colonize.

 A wonderful CONTINUED from page 1 in the foyer of the PAC. As they ate cookies and strawberries, they spontaneously discussed some of their impressions of the book. The Great Depression is a major theme, and for some, like Pat Thomsen, who was born in 1931, this brought back not so much her own memories, but stories that her parents told her later.

In reading “The Boys in the Boat,” Thomsen said that she was impressed by the hard work of the rowing team boys to get themselves through school, while at the same time keeping up with their studies, and then training hard every day for the extremely vigorous sport. Also, Thomsen said that she appreciated that Brown included not only the personal stories of the boys, but also the big picture of what was happening in Washington state and in Germany.

Edith Ogle, another book club member, grew up during the Great Depression, but she doesn’t remember it as a hard time because she always had food, clothes and a warm place to live. When she read the book, however, she thought about the college students featured and how hard it was for them to get through school during those years.

Like other readers, she was especially impacted by the story of crew member Joe Rantz, who was abandoned by his family at the age of 14. “If we had folks, that’s a whole different story,” Ogle said.

The packed house at the PAC was a testiment to the number of people around the area who read and loved the book. Those who came for the reception had the first chance to enter into the auditorium, while many of those who arrived closer to the starting

 Rustique CONTINUED from page 2 Players Drama Club as well.

Recently, we have been asked to, and are considering, adding two more shows in other towns.

The prospect of expanding even more, is an exciting one.

It’s nice to think about what we can do with the opportunity.

We are very grateful for all of the support we have received from our friends,

family, Waterville city employees and community members for helping us give back to the community we love. We hope to be able to continue for a very long time.

For more information about the Rustique Diva’s Vintage Market, you can find us on Facebook or email us at rustiquedivas@gmail.com.

 Ask CONTINUED from page 2 Association health plan (AHPs) passed the legislature with strong bipartisan support and were signed into law by Gov. Mike Lowry (D) in 1995. They were designed to help small employers provide high-quality, affordable health insurance for their employees and families. The law allows associations to band their small member companies together so they have the same purchasing power as big companies.

Today, 20 years later, AHPs are working well. More than a half million people in Washington are insured through AHPs, and small employers are clearly happy with their plans. In fact, many AHPs report that more than 90 percent of the employers renew their coverage.

The success of AHPs is not surprising.

People covered by association health plans have access to top doctor and hospital networks, and they cannot be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition. In fact, all the benefits mandated by state and federal law, including the Affordable Care Act (ACA), are covered.

AHPs also provide a level of support and service not otherwise available to small employers. The ability to offer high quality, affordable health coverage through association health plans helps small employers compete with large employers for the best employees.

AHPs fill a critical void in the marketplace. Historically,

time of event did not get as good seats. About 200 filled an overflow room, according to one attendee.

As the audience waited for Brown’s appearance, they had the chance to take in a 55-foot long eight-person racing shell displayed across the front stage. The shell was provided and transported by the Wenatchee Row and Paddle Club.

Brown gave an engaging discussion about the themes of the book, the story of how he took on the project, and how he did the necessary research for the book. This research had him delve deeply into the sport of rowing, learn the details of Nazi preparation for the 1936 Olympic games, research the personal stories of the rowers, learn about the Great Depression in the U.S. and in Washington in particular and then decide how to weave all the stories together. The presentation included a clip of the gold

medal race in Berlin, which brought rousing cheers from the Wenatchee audience.

Following the presentation, members of the audience asked a number of questions about the book.

One member told a story about how the racing shell builder George Pocock, who features prominently in the book, had come to his home when he was a teenager.

Another asked about his choice to add the sections on Olympic preparation in Germany, and whether there were other elements that he had researched for the book and then dropped later. One audience member asked if there was a film being made. Brown said there was, but that he is not able to give any input on the production of the film, and isn’t sure when it will be finished.

Reflecting on the presentation, Thomsen said that she was impressed to learn about all of the research

 Creating CONTINUED from page 2

that Brown had done in writing the book, including a trip to the race course at Grunau, Germany. She said she was also impressed by the help he had received from today’s Husky crew and coaches. She said she thought Brown was “an excellent speaker.”

Cathy Clark, another attendee from Waterville, said she appreciated learning how Brown wrote the book and why he wrote it. “He was a great speaker. I could tell he was really connecting with the audience and they were connecting with him,” she said.

Clark said that though she is finished reading “Boys in the Boat,” it is the kind of book she will cherish for a long time. There is a sense from her and others who attended the presentation that hearing the author speak deepened their understanding of the book and will help them to continue to appreciate it into the future.

Microenterprise development recognizes the fundamental ability of people to apply individual talents, creativity and hard work to better their lives. Microenterprise programs build on the unique ideas and skills of entrepreneurs by providing business assistance through micro-credit, one-on-one

counseling, and specialized training to small businesses employing 10 people or fewer.

Microenterprises often struggle to qualify for traditional lending services. Microenterprise Development Organizations like the Rural Enterprise Assistance Project create jobs, build assets and overcome barriers of income

and discrimination, all through small business development.

Established in 1973, the Center for Rural Affairs is a private, nonprofit organization, based in Lyons, Neb., working to strengthen small businesses, family farms and ranches, and rural communities through action oriented programs addressing social, economic, and environmental issues.

40-45 percent of the employers in association health plans previously couldn’t afford to provide health coverage for their employees.

Now they can, thanks to the foresight of Gov. Lowry and the legislature.

In fact, national surveys of health insurance in 2011 and 2012 by AHIP, a national insurance trade association, ranked Washington the second most affordable state in the nation for firms with five or fewer employees and fifth most affordable for firms with 50 or fewer employees.

Interestingly, the Affordable Care Act doesn’t require small employers to provide health insurance for their employees, but thousands of Washington small businesses can – and do – because of association health plans.

If AHPs provide such highquality, affordable health coverage, why does the commissioner want to get rid of them? That’s a good question.

In reality, Commissioner Kreidler prefers single payer, government-run health care like the Canadian system. When he moved to undermine AHPs in 2007, the Court ruled he did not have the legal authority to do so. But apparently that was just a bump in the road for him.

If small employers are happy with their association health plans and half a million people have good coverage because of AHPs, why is the commissioner unhappy?

That’s a good question.

President Obama’s goal in the Affordable Care Act is

for nearly every American to have health insurance, whether through the private market or a government program. It is something we can all agree on.

But rather than applaud AHPs for providing coverage, Kreidler is moving against them, stripping people of their coverage. In these uncertain times when the Affordable Care Act is struggling and key parts of it are being challenged in court, that just doesn’t make sense.

Chelan Public Library hosts 3D printer class

By Darlene Paterson Empire Press Correspondent

T

welve students attended Make It Now! Having Fun with 3D Printers, a free class held April 7 at the Chelan Public Library. The event was sponsored by Mobile Maker Space of the North Central Regional Library (NCRL) system. Maker Space representatives Chad Roseburg and Kim Neher taught the class.

NCRL received a 3D printer grant from the Washington State Library and the Institute for Museum and Library Services. A separate grant, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and overseen by the Washington State Library, covers Maker Space technologies electronics, robotics, audio/video productions and web design usage. Roseburg and Neher served on the committee that created the grants.

The class began with Roseburg and Neher explaining the basic elements of 3D printers and how they work.

Students observed how spools, also called filaments that are located behind the printer, feed plastic into a nozzle where

it is melted and dropped out in strands that resemble spaghetti. These strands form layers that create whatever object was sent to the printer.

Sample items that were made with 3D printers – such as toys, dice, jewelry and even a GI Joe – were displayed.

A video showed the uses for 3D printers, such as in the medical field with robotic armor for the paralyzed, scoliosis braces and dental hardware. Other uses currently being explored include spaceship parts and fuel-saving engines. In China, 3D printers are used to build houses for disaster relief.

3D printers have been around since 1984 but the cost, from $20,000 to 30,000, had prevented wide usage.

Today, a 3D printer can be purchased for under $1,000.

The printer will reproduce most objects with some exceptions. Vertical objects with overhangs must have an adequate support structure in order to print. Newer 3D printers will also do scanning.

For example, one can scan a GI Joe action figure and print a replica.

Legal Notices

Those attending the class were given paper and pencil and asked to draw a small item they wished to make, considering how it would look from three views. After completing the drawings, the students were ready to put their designs into the computer. Using tinkercad.com, a free online computer-aided drafting program, they calculated measurements and prepared their objects for printing.

Currently, the 3D printer program is only available by being transported to locations. “We hope to eventually get it set up in our libraries so the public can have access to this technology,” Roseburg said. “We will need to provide more staffing and training in order to make it accessible to our library patrons. But that is a goal for the future.”

“It is wonderful that the library can provide this type of program. Kids are so advanced in their technology skills today,” head librarian Jennifer Oatey said. “We plan to provide more events like this in the coming months. We will have an exciting summer program at the Chelan Library. We

Fifty years of women’s suffrage in the state of Washington is commemorated on April 2, 1960 by the Sam B. Hill Democratic Club of Douglas County. Mrs. Herman Willms of Bridgeport, one of the first women to vote, appears at the anniversary luncheon in her wedding gown of 54 years earlier. Admiring her attire are, from left, Mrs. Cliff Jones of Waterville, Mrs. Arthur Forrester of East Wenatchee, Mrs. John R. Jones of Waterville and Mrs. Everett Rice of St. Andrews.

Chemistry class enjoys experimentation Selected by Karen Larsen

N

owadays, the Empire Press prints articles from Waterville elementary and high school students under the headings of J.I.T.-terbugs (Journalists in Training) and Shockwaves, respectively.

At earlier periods in the paper’s history, the school had a section of news written by students. This selection about the chemistry class was published in the “Shocker Satellite” portion of the April 13, 1978 Waterville Empire-Press.

Chemistry Class Mad Scientists

By Steve Todd Handling laboratory equipment is one of the skills taught in chemistry class by Mr. Don Rivers, instructor.

Presently, the chemists are working on the classification (of) ionic compounds.

In doing this, students must recognize the characteristics of a given substance and classify it as one of three types of compounds: acid, base or salt.

In their studies, the pupils first read an assigned chapter.

Then a lecture for better understanding is given by Mr. Rivers. Finally, questions are assigned at the end of each chapter to test the chemists on its contents.

In addition to this, every Wednesday is designated as “lab day” so that the chemists can conduct experiments from their lab manuals. In these experiments, the properties and composition of different compounds are tested.

One such experiment is to determine the percentage of water in a crystalline salt.

In this experiment a crystalline salt, such as magnesium sulfate, is weighed and then heated to evaporate the water in the compound.

After heating, the magnesium sulfate is weighed again and the amount of water lost is calculated.

“The students are all doing well and they really seem to enjoy doing the experiments,” commented Mr. Rivers.

“I wish there was one in here that told how to make an atom bomb,” an unidentified chemist was heard to say.
