Tonasket lends official support to Water Ranch BY BRENT BAKER
BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE
TONASKET - Though Tonasket’s City Council members and mayor have voiced their support on numerous occasions for the Tonasket Water Ranch project, the council officially announced their support of the project at the Tuesday, May 14, city council meeting. The council passed a resolution declaring not only its backing, but the parameters of the city’s involvement. Spearheaded by Linda Black under the auspices of the Tonasket Visitor and Business Resource Center, the TVBRC is responsible for the design, engineering, materials and construction of the project. The city has agreed to process the environmental review, among other details, and once completed the ownership, operation and maintenance will be assumed by the city.
ORDINANCES DISCUSSED Two ordinances were discussed and tabled pending further adjustments to meet concerns raised by council members. An ordinance that will restrict the number of yard sales within city limits will likely be voted upon at the next city council meeting after the council agreed to limit its effects to residential areas. It was determined that differentiating between a yard sale, as defined in the ordinance, and normal business activity on business properties was not desirable, nor the original intent of trying to restrict the proliferation of yard sales which have caused traffic congestion in residential areas. The will also likely vote on an ordinance to convert Tonasket Avenue between Division and Third Street at the next meeting. The ordinance as written was tabled due to concerns over a provi-

Gold Digger Apples celebrating 75 Years By Gary A. DeVon Managing Editor OROVILLE – What began as Oroville United Growers in 1938, has grown into Oroville’s one remaining warehouse, Gold Digger Apples and this May 24th marks the growers’ cooperative’s 75th Anniversary. The original board members included J.A. Blacklerr, Gladys B. Evans, Jesse H. Neher, L.E. Graham and George W. Rodgers. The total capital stock for the association was $10,000. Oroville United Growers grew out of the United Fruit Exchange, according to local orchardist Perry Blackler, son of J.A. Blackler. “Oroville Fruit Exchange was
connected with the Wenatchee Exchange and they packed under the Skookum label at that time. In 1938 Oroville United Growers was formed as a co-op. There packed under the Gold Digger label, something my dad had established several years before,” said Blackler, who added that co-op was formed in reaction to the hard times brought on by the depression. He also explained why the cooperative’s name was changed from United Fruit Growers to Gold Digger Apples in the early 1970’s. “The reason they changed to Gold Digger was while everyone in Oroville knew what Oroville United was out in the market we
were known as Gold Digger. A lot of places did that like Oro Fruit, which was changed to Cariboo because that was their brand,” Blackler said. “Dad started in a packing shed on the orchard, probably in the 1920’s. A lot of growers would just pack boxes in the orchard then load the apples onto a truck and take them to the railroad to be loaded on cars,” said Blackler. “They would ice them in Pateros, by dumping ice into the holes at the end of each car. They did that until the 1940s when refrigerated cars came along.” Greg Moser, general manager of Gold Digger said that they have done several things in honor of the 75th Anniversary.

AND READ AT THE LEGACY PARK
“The Navy motto is Honor, Courage, Commitment. It took a lot of commitment to pull this off, and it took a lot of courage to keep everybody together, contributing and finishing a project like this. It’s amazing... “How does a man who grew up in a small orchard just miles from here get honored with the opportunity to speak to those with which he shares a common bond? ... Whether you are or were a soldier, a sailor, an airman, a coast guardsman, or a family member of such, you’ll understand through your own experiences and your family stories why militaries on this wall served this great nation. “I’m proud to have grown up under simple and family-rooted values that are the foundation, core values honored today ... As a strong family man, growing up with a rural upbringing here in Tonasket made it possible not even to think twice about the opportunity to serve when the opportunity presented itself... My thoughts didn’t focus on what I was leaving behind or the duty of it all. But rather the honor to serve our nation and do something beyond self-purpose. “We live in a land that holds endless opportunity for any willing to pursue it, and honoring those who protect it or have protected it. I serve because I want to give back a small portion of what others have sacrificed and to protect what we have been given. I want my children and their children to continue to pursue opportunities and know the true meaning of what it means to live in the land of the free and home of the brave. “I want others to realize how lucky they are to know honorable men and women like these on this wall on both sides, 969... and growing... I want people to feel the tremendous honor that these people bestow on us, making it possible for us to continue living in a country based on the highest ideals us humans have ever seen. This is about men and women of every background, every walk of life, who have contributed to our nation’s freedom and made our ultimate sacrifice and service to this great nation.... “We have lots of enemies. Our very existence as a great nation depends on how well we transmit these values and ideals to the following generations. This is a daunting task for everyone, and one we need to take seriously.... We have the responsibility to act on what we know is true and right, and make sure our children inherit the same promise we’ve been given. “Freedom is not free. The emotion expressed by stating these words is almost more than I can bear. For I have witnessed extreme casualty. And many memorial services of fallen friends and heroes. As I listened to every one of those eulogies, their contributions to service and family along with their life stories, tears as they are right now roll down my cheeks. I don’t wipe them, but I let them dry in honor of my fellow veterans and families and their service and sacrifice and their continued grief after the fact. “By doing what we are today, sitting here listening, thinking, reflecting; by doing so we uphold the very values I talked about today, that we hold dear. “I thank the men and women who had the heart and fortitude to build this memorial... It takes a lot of work to do what these folks have done... Be proud of the hard work to honor our heroes here today, and the heroes that have fallen that are on our wall.”
“It is on this day we remember the legacies of those who answered America’s call to freedom and so valiantly defended it. The dedication of a score of volunteers from American Legion Post 82 and the surrounding community has brought us to this day. Without individuals like you, the United States Armed Forces Legacy Project would never have come to fruition. “Thank you for providing this reminder of the sacrifices of our veterans and military, and for providing a place for veterans and their family to meet and retain reminders of the honor brought to Eastern Washington by these brave men and women.

“What a tribute and what great respect and honor to our veterans this is. (VSO) Shane Barton, who now resides here, and the great service that happens in the hospital as a result of the efforts of Dale (White) and Michael (Stewart) and all the rest of those vets who came down and to us at the board of commissioners. As a board of county commissioners, we increased the ad valorem tax so that Shane (Barton) could be fully employed. That’s the only tax that (the commissioners) unanimously agreed with. “Today, as we see scandals, lies, from powerful people in high places, I’m proud to tell you that we do things different in Okanogan County, and especially Tonasket. To all the veterans, my hat’s off.” Okanogan County Commissioner Jim DeTro
“They say that warriors come from warriors. I’m the honored leader of a group of warrior mothers who had the foresight and ability to pass on their value of bravery and service to our children... As our active duty children become veterans, I know they have a great legacy to come home to.”

“The stories that are behind all these plaques, and the many, many hours and days of dedication these people have put forward in defense of freedom of this country, is something I hope each one of you will try to remember ... “I have been privileged throughout my career to travel and see all the memorials ... Visiting those memorials, this is a smaller scale, but none of them hold a candle to this. The community, the county and the people you see here have something to be proud of. “Freedom comes at a very, very high price... We’ve got a lot a lot of young folks coming home now. They are some of the finest this country has ever produced. And they’re all volunteers... many of them injured. We need to keep fighting for the veterans’ rights, the health care and benefits, find jobs for them when we can, rehabilitate them. It’s a heavy price many have paid. Many have paid the ultimate price, and their families need that assistance too to help carry them through. “We need to remember to pass this on. These young folks ... they’re our future. We need to educate them. All of you as parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, get out there and make sure the young people of today understand just what it is that they have, and how they gained that freedom, and that right to do what they choose to do.”

“Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness/property ... because of the veterans, each of those words mean something to us today. They’ve carried that legacy on for us. “I want to welcome back especially the Viet Nam veterans. Apparently the generation before didn’t give you proper welcome when you returned. In the history books ... I always have had a soft spot in my heart for you folks. I apologize for what has happened, but Tonasket has stood up. “When people ask me why Tonasket is great, I (refer to) this. We have something that no other community has done.... “Look at this... This is a jewel. I can’t tell you how many big, highfallutin’ people continue to say, ‘What have you people done on the south end of your community?’ There’s not really a good answer other than sacrifice, commitment, honor and the legacy of the veterans in the community surrounding us. “Thank you for your service. We will be eternally grateful in Tonasket and we will show you every day by maintaining this well past my lifetime... I truly do believe God is on the side of the veteran in Tonasket. “This Legacy here is a project beyond our personal belief that we actually accomplished. The service office we have inside there is even beyond that. We host the county service officer that’s now a paid employee to take care of the veterans in this county. We know of 4,000 that we’re taking care of ... there’s a potential 10-12,000 in this county. So we’re looking more and more to help them. “Understand, we are state of the art, and the model for service work in this state.”
“There’s not been a battle in air, land or sea that has been fought without a veteran’s sacrifice. Many paid the price, suffering wounds, giving their lives, most to remain unknown heroes. Bless them and their families for their sacrifice and love of country.”

“History has taught us that brave Americans who willingly fight for freedom and democracy do so for a cause they consider more important than life itself. Because of their willingness to serve, we enjoy the freedom to choose, freedom from tyranny and freedom to attend whatever church we choose. We have the right to freely express our views and the right to raise our families free from government control. “Because of their conviction and sacrifices, we owe the men and women of the Armed Forces, and those who served before them, a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid.”
“Excuse me, but I’m a Viet Nam vet and I’m damn proud of it. “There are 969 names on the wall. Every war is represented except the War of 1812. “George Frank and I came down here in August of 2005. The parcel was owned by the City of Tonasket. The city had received it from the Department of Transportation. George said the city wasn’t going to do anything with it right away; what about placing a memorial for the vets here? “All I saw were weeds and rocks, and plenty of them. “George, Ted Huber and I approached the Tonasket City Council and asked if we could lease the property from them The council and the mayor agreed. We entered into a lease with the city for 99 years that cost us $10, and we still haven’t paid it.”

Firewise workshops planned
CUTTING HAIR AT HIS & HERS
SUBMITTED BY KIRSTEN COOK EDUCATION AND OUTREACH COORDINATOR
Conservation Dist. hosts workshop in Methow, June 1 OKANOGAN _ Okanogan Conservation District is coordinating six Firewise workshops throughout the county this summer. The first of these will be in Methow, WA, in partnership with Washington Department of Natural Resources and Okanogan Fire District 15. This Firewise wildfire preparedness workshop will take place on Saturday, June 1, at the Methow Community Center, a.k.a. “the schoolhouse,” behind
the Methow post office. From 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., local fire managers will discuss ways to prepare one’s home and property for wildfire, and how to react when a wildfire is in the area. From 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., there will be an optional field trip to see Firewise techniques being implemented on private property in the Methow/Carlton area. Light refreshments will be provided. Those that plan to stay for the whole workshop should bring a brown bag lunch. The national Firewise Communities program is an interagency program designed to encourage local solutions for wildfire safety. The program offers simple ways community members can work together to prevent their properties from becoming
fuel for a wildfire. Residents can reduce the risk of their home’s ignition by simply modifying their homes and immediate surroundings. With adequate planning and cooperation among homeowners, public agencies, and community leaders, wildfires can occur without disastrous loss of life, property, and resources. In Okanogan County, the Firewise program is coordinated by the Okanogan Conservation District in cooperation with Washington Department of Natural Resources. For more information, visit www.okanogancd.org/firewise The mission of the Okanogan Conservation District is to help cooperators achieve their conservation goals.

75 YEARS | FROM A1 We want to give back to our communities, especially Oroville and Tonasket. We made a sizable donation to the Spray Park in Tonasket and in Oroville we decided to turn the area in front of one of our warehouses on Main into a park for the community to use,” said Moser. The general manager credits Brad Scott for engineering and leading the crew that set up the new park. “We’d like to offer it for use for the farmer’s market if they need more room,” added Chad Smith, an employee with the co-op. He added that the company got lots of positive comments for their presence in the May Festival Parade. They not only had the big yellow Gold Digger semitrailer they also pulled a large
flat bed trailer full of growers and employees and their kids. They threw hats, shirts, frisbees and of course, candy. “The growers really enjoyed themselves, they were reluctant to do it, but they all had a good time. In addition to the parade, the co-op always donates to the May Festival 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament and the fun run. They also give a lot of donations to the school, both for athletics and academics. “We also donate apples to the school program,” said Smith. Other things they help to sponsor include the Okanogan County Fair Queen, youth rodeo. People don’t really know how much we give back to the community, not just Gold Digger,
but the growers too. Gold Digger growers have stuck with our company through thick and thin,” Moser said. Gold Digger continues to make a strong commitment to the community. They have a new electronic cherry line that will be coming on line in the near future. “The objective of the board is to take the dollars we make and spend them back into the community. That’s been very important and I think it has been very successful,” said Moser. “We’d like to thank our board of growers and our employees that have stayed with us to make Gold Digger what it is to day and thank the community for all their support.”

VOTE | FROM A1 For Oroville, School Board Todd Hill wants a return to Director Position 1 for the twoyear unexpired term and Travis Loudon for Director Position 4 for a full four-year term. No one filed for the seat vacated by David Nutt who moved from the area. Two members who have served on the Tonasket School Board for several years have filed for fouryear terms – Lloyd E. Caton Jr. for Director Position 1 and Ernesto Cerrillo for Director Position 4. In the Seventh District Legislature, recently appointed Senator John Smith of Colville has two challengers for a oneyear unexpired term. Fellow Republicans Mike Brunson of Springdale and Brian Dansel of Republic also want the office.
OKANOGAN - This summer, the US Forest Service will continue its inventory and control program for noxious weeds on National Forest lands in Okanogan County. Crews will work to reduce existing weed populations and to reduce the risk of invasive species introduction and spread on the Forest. Each year, between May and October, Forest Service employees and contractors actively seek and treat noxious weeds on the National Forest. About 5,000 acres have been identified as having weed populations. Specific weed sites within these areas are prioritized for treatment by hand pulling, releasing biological control agents or applying herbicide. “Weeds within the sites are patchy and scattered,” said Dean McFetridge, Noxious Weed Program Manager for the Methow Valley Ranger District. “Treatment is site specific and

Noxious weeds to be treated include diffuse, meadow, spotted and Russian knapweed, orange and meadow hawkweed, sulfur cinquefoil, St. Johnswort, dalmatian toadflax, Canada thistle, oxeye daisy, white top, musk and plumeless thistle, scotch broom, common houndstongue, hoary allysum, common tansy and tansy ragwort. The herbicide is mixed with a blue or yellow dye so that areas treated are readily identifiable. Herbicide treatment areas will be posted with application dates and the herbicides used. “While the same weed populations may be treated each year, the amount of herbicide actually applied to each population continues to be reduced or the need to use herbicide is eliminated,” said McFetridge. “Monitoring shows that herbicide treatments are effective.” If you have questions please call Dean McFetridge at Methow Valley Ranger District (509) 9964030 or Carol Ogilvie at Tonasket Ranger District (509) 486-5119.

Prevention measures include the use of certified noxious weed free hay, mulch, and seed on all National Forest land and that all ground disturbing equipment be cleaned of dirt and debris that may contain weed seed prior to arriving on National Forest. Most of the herbicide treatments will be done with spot applications to individual weeds using backpack sprayers. Low volume boom sprayers may also be used. Applications will be made by Washington State licensed applicators. “The use of spot spraying with backpack sprayers and low volume boom spraying minimizes the risk to non-target plants,” said Carol Ogilvie, Noxious Weed Program Manager for the Tonasket Ranger District. “The herbicides are biodegradable and are low risk to fish, wildlife, and to human health”. Treatment is scheduled to begin in May and continue to mid-October.

THE TOWN CRIER LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Border crossing fees raise ugly head again What about subsidies for solar power?
At the last Oroville Chamber of Commerce meeting Bill Robinson, a member from Osoyoos, said there was talk from the Homeland Security Department asking for a study about charging $10 to cross into the U.S. from Canada or Mexico. Robinson said, and most would agree, this would be devastating to Oroville’s rebirth as a shopping, food and entertainment destination for our neighbors to the north. He asked us to envision what a family of four would think about coming down to eat at one of our restaurants if it cost them $40 before they even made it to the city limits. The same would go for people wanting to buy groceries, clothing, hardware, auto parts or gas at one of our local businesses. Well, it looks like the U.S. Senate has quashed the idea, realizing the detrimental affect such Out of fees would have on both sides of the border. But why does this fee idea keep raising its ugly head? My Mind We on the northern border go through this kind Gary A. DeVon of scare every few years. About every three years or so we have a plea in the letters to the editor and to the local chamber of commerce to write our legislators asking them to consider the consequences of such an action. Last time they were going to ask for less to cross, but it’s still a charge just the same. Along the 49th Parallel our legislators need to be promoting cross border traffic. It’s good for both countries. Before the Senate shut the idea down, the Homeland Security Department was asking for a study on fees to help with the cost of security at land crossings. If a fee was imposed what would stop Canada from retaliating with a fee of their own? We will tell you what we thought– common sense. However, it seems the Canadian government has looked at imposing fees of their own to help deal with their increasing debt. Rather than discouraging Americans from coming to spend our money in their stores and restaurants, the provinces and individual communities spend millions of dollars trying to entice us into their country. Why would their country want to throw up an additional roadblock? The best way to deal with debt is for more of their businesses to thrive. And, when most of their population and businesses are lined up along our shared border – they rely on cross border business even more than we do. Oroville is just starting to recover from the low Canadian exchange rate of the last decade or so. That, combined with post 9-11 enhanced security at the border, turned the community into somewhat of a ghost town. Now we are seeing business come back, the familiar parking lots and streets are full of cars bearing BC-plates and that is a good sign. Although this almost-crisis was averted once again, we need to stay on top of our two governments and let them know imposing a fee is not the answer to either of our countries’ security or debt problems. Free and easy trade between our countries is something we depend on and should be encouraged, not discouraged.

Dear Editor, I can appreciate Joseph Enzenspergers position of not wanting the Okanogan PUD to lose $32 on every megawatt hour of power the Enloe Dam project will produce. I’m not in favor of public subsidies for money wasting projects. Maybe he would like to tell us how much the government subsidizes each megawatt hour of the solar power he claims is providing new power to our nations grid? Brian Thompson Oroville
Deeply touched by May Festival honor Dear Gary, A heartfelt thank you to the May Day Committee for honoring us as the Grand Marshals of the parade and to the Oroville community for your warm and loving support, greetings and cheers throughout the festivities. We were honored to be selected and deeply touched by the many ways the community included us. At the end of the day we asked our Granddaughters who were visiting from Spokane what they will remember the most about Oroville’s May Day. Maddie,13-yearsold, said she would remember “The way everyone in the community cares for each other and supports each other.” You can take a bow, you are a wonderful community indeed. You have made Oroville May Festival 2013 a cherished memory for us and our family. We will always be proud to call Oroville home. With joy filled hearts and deepest grati-
tude, Marilyn and Jim Prince Oroville
Show your appreciation for our freedom Dear Editor, I grew up in a family with parents who married in December 1941 after Pearl Harbor attack and my dad was drafted and served in WWII. My parents spoke of their classmates who served and didn’t return home and of brothers who served also. I had classmates and cousins who served in the Korean and Vietnam wars. We had a daughter and sonin-law who were in the military and currently have another son-in-law serving. Knowing how important our military is to our country
and the sacrifices of these people has always been part of my life. We have enjoyed our freedom in the U.S. because of these people. We attended the Legacy Memorial dedication yesterday and we are so very proud to be part of the Tonasket community, Okanogan County and Washington State for such a wonderful facility to honor our military men and women of the past, present and future. Looking around at those present, there were very few with dry eyes during the presentations. We thank George Frank for his vision and all the other volunteers and donators for what you have accomplished here. There are so many of you involved and we appreciate all that has been done and continues to be done. We are proud to be Americans. Fly that flag and show your appreciation for our Freedom. Patti Hill Tonasket
ITEMS FROM THE PAST BY CLAYTON EMRY FORMER GAZETTE-TRIBUNE PUBLISHER
75 YEARS AGO: May 13-20;1938 The 3rd Annual May Day Celebration held last week-end was a huge success again. Following the grand parade, which included all of the royalty as well as floats from the PTA, Civic League, Future Farmers, school busses loaded with children and the fire truck carrying the firemen in their new uniforms? More festivities of the day were held at the baseball diamond at the edge of town. The crowning of the Queen by Superintendent Crabb and a track meet between the Oroville and Tonasket Schools, in which Tonasket got away with most of the events. At night, a dance was held at the Liberty which was very well attended by mostly young people of Tonasket and Oroville. George Potter, Oroville’s town marshal for the past two and a half years, says he has definitely made up his mind to stick his neck out and run for the Republican nomination for County Sheriff in the primaries this fall. There Are Ships That Ride The Ocean, There Are Ships That Fly The Air But The Biggest One Is Friendship Because You Can Find It Everywhere! WPA workers this week began the construction of sanitary units for installation in rural communities and un-sewered town areas throughout Okanogan County, under a Federal Allotment of $10,210. The improved sanitary facilities project is being sponsored by the Washington State Department of Health and the United States Public Health Service. Those interested in replacing their out door privies with these new units, should get in touch with the town clerk or mayor. The property owner agrees to furnish the materials with the understanding that the labor or replacement will be free. The work will be done in the local lumber yard. Wm. Mallice, architect of Seattle, arrived in Oroville the first of the week to confer with the school board and Superintendent, John Crabb, in regard to plans for the construction of the new combined Junior/Senior high school building. The property was purchased from Mrs. T. E. Collier and consists of approximately 15 acres of ground just across the road from the grade school, known as the Dr. House place. This will make an ideal school site as it will give ample room for athletic grounds and experimental plots for the Agricultural course now part of the school curriculum. This is National Air Mail Week and according to W. A. Grube, postmaster, the Oroville community still lacks considerable numbers of going over the top with their quota of around 2000 air mail stamps for the week. The bulk of the mail leaving the Oroville Post Office, goes to points within the radius of Spokane and Seattle from the local office and there air mail stamps do not do any good even if they are affixed, however if all mail going beyond these two cities would carry air mail stamps, the quota would be easily made. The resale of county tax title lands in Commissioner District #3, held last week, drew a large crowd of buyers from this district. Acreage advertised, approximately 18,000; Acreage sold, 8,546 or 47 percent of that listed; Total selling price of acreage, $10,645 or an average price received per acre, $1.25. The Lowest price was $1.00 while the highest was $11.50. 100 town lots were sold for a total of $529.50 or an average of $5.30 per lot. A few of the grocery specials: 2# tin Cocoa, $.15; 4# macaroni, $.19; 2# coffee,
$.55; tin of Prince Albert, $.10; KC Baking powder, $.25 size, $.19; Jell-O, all flavors, $.05 per pkg; mustard, 1 qt., $.19; Clothing: Men’s sport oxfords, $2.98; Women’s white oxfords and sandals, $1.98 to $2.25.
50 YEARS AGO: May 16th – May 23rd, 1963: Joanne Anderson and Marsha Harnasch, acting president and secretary of the Oroville Chamber of Commerce, heard interesting reports from the Timber and Roads Committee in regards to the Oroville to Nighthawk Rd. The girls were taking parting the chamber meeting as part of the World Contemporary Problems class in school. The report featured pictures, taken by Ed Scott, of the road at some of the most dangerous spots and a ten minute film shown by George
Recalling May Days Past 75 Years Ago: Third annual May Day with grand parade, track meet with Tonasket and a dance at the old Liberty Theater. 50 Years Ago: Jeeps, each with two men, are stationed along the parade route to prevent accidents. 25 Years Ago: Oroville May Queen Stacey Sawyer and Princesses Dana Kernan and Bernadine Wildermuth reign over the festivities.
Krusoff that was taken of the group touring the road last week. A few of you, no doubt, noticed one or more of six jeeps, each with two men stationed along the parade route last Saturday, two days before the parade, police chief “Buck” Gates stood on a corner talking earnestly to Leonard Fish, parade chairman. They didn’t want any kind of an accident to stall the parade, hence the jeeps. If anything went wrong, (and once in a while they do go wrong even in Wenatchee) one or more of the jeeps would be on hand in a matter of seconds. The Oroville Scholastic Team, members of the Wenatchee Scholastic team, was honored with a banquet and program at last Wednesday’s regular meeting of the Kiwanis. Members of the team receiving awards from High School Principal, Stan Porter, were: Marsha Harnasch, Nancy Gadberry, Joanne Anderson, Anne Robinson, Martha Lawless, seniors, Patricia Sagli, Raymond Wilson and Angie Milicia, juniors, and Bruce Scott, Edna Ballard and Pat Siegrist, sophomores. Weather Wise, by Marge Frazier: May 8, 69 degrees maximum and 30 degrees minimum; May 9, 61 and 32; May 10, 65 and 35; May 11, 71 and 38; May 12, 69 and 49; May 13, 69 and 38 and May 14, 73 and 34. Total precipitation for the week, .12 inches. Petitions are now available for the inclusion of lands into the Oroville-Tonasket Irrigation District. These are available to anyone having property adjoining and above the present system, who will be wanting water under the new proposed system’s contract for the pressurized delivery system. The American Legion Flag Committee reports that there were 48 flags flying on Main Street on “Mother’s Day.” Out of the 48, 38 were 50 star flags. It is the hope
of the flag committee that eventually all flags will be 50 stars. When the Legion started this project, they put 32 flags out. They thank the business people for their co-operation. Chuck Wagon Buffet Dinner, all you can eat, each Saturday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Kozy Kitchen for $2.25. Grant Rainsberry, Oroville Postal employee, was elected as the Ninth District Vice Commander of the American Legion at the District Conference held in Omak last Thursday. The Oroville Chapter of FFA, has as a project in 1963, an orchard which was planted at the south end of the football field. All members were engaged in the planting and installing the irrigation system. We also have some members of the club who are planting their garden projects in the lower end of the orchard.
25 Years Ago: May 19th – 26th, 1988: Jim Eberlein, a life time resident of Tonasket, will be retiring from the position of appliance manager at Lee Frank’s He has been with Lee Frank’s for the last 12 years. Annual elections for the 1988-89 ASB officers were held at the Tonasket High School recently. The four students to reside are all juniors. President will be Jason Rise; Vice President of Program is Brent Timm; Vice President of publicity is Stacey Jorgenson and rounding out the group is Pippin Rosebrook who is the Secretary-Treasurer. The Oroville May Day royalty, Queen Stacey Sawyer, Princesses Dana Kernan and Bernadine Wildermuth had a regal perch to view the parade from the Oroville float. Mother Nature was in top form as she supplied sunny skies and warm temperatures for the many people who turned out for the 54th May Festival celebration. As part of the ongoing and upgrading program at the Chesaw Rodeo Grounds, the original grandstand will be torn down and replaced this year. The structure was built in 1946 and was quite an undertaking at the time. It has six tiers of seating and is approximately 100 feet long. Three of the seven Rodeo Club members that still reside in the area, are pictured standing on the bleachers they helped build over 40 years ago are, Marvin “Hungry” Colbert, Dave Leslie and Lloyd “Bus” Fields. Also pictured are current members of the club, Jean Vernon and Rose Ann Leslie. A dedication of a gate will take place at the Molson Cemetery on May 29th to honor and in memory of Cleland Emry. Mr. Emry lived and served in communities of North County for 40 years, over 30 years was spent working, editing and publishing the Gazette-Tribune newspaper, first as employee then owner/ publisher. He was also co-owner, with his wife Vivian, of the Molson House Restaurant. At the last Tonasket Town Council meeting, local area pilots asked the council to consider re-opening the local airstrip. The pilots were told by the council that they would consider opening the strip, provided it was eligible for state funds to upgrade the runway. According to Dwayne Wilson, the pilots contacted the State Aeronautics Division with inquiries when they heard the town was thinking of selling the airstrip as surplus. 91-year-old Margaret George is the Grand Marshall of this years Founder’s Day celebration in Tonasket. Burna Frank, Vice President of the Tonasket Chamber of Commerce, said that enthusiasm is mounting, parade applications are pouring in and “it looks like everything is shaping up well and all is a go.” A spokesman for the Rodeo Club stated that as many or maybe more cowboys will be in this year’s

OKANOGAN VALLEY GAZETTE-TRIBUNE | MAY 23, 2013
OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE A week to unwind We’ve had a week to unwind after the May Day festivities and busy past weekend. And the weather has cooled down considerably, with even a bit of rain. The river is still rolling right along but of course the flooding dangers have slowed down a bit, due to the cooler temperatures. The local clinic is sometimes like “old home week” where often a gathering of “old-timers” getting checked out, for one reason or another. It was good to see THIS & THAT Roy and Buelah Joyce Emry McDougall, both up and able to navigate under their own power, with the aid of a cane. Juanita Waggy still remains in the Extended Care Facility, Tonasket, where she is receiving therapy for the broken hip she was unfortunate enough to be stricken with. Beverly Holden seems to be progressing very nicely, after suffering strokes and associated maladies. Her daughter has gone home to Alaska and now a son takes over. Doris Hughes has been selling tickets on another handmade quilt, with the proceeds going to the United Methodist Church and she has announced that the winner went to one of the Thorndike sisters, Connie Madson. Another of the sisters, Margo has been spending some time with their dad, Ted, to fill some of
the void left by the death of his companion, Phyllis Sheyner. The days of advanced technology that we live in today never ceases to amaze me. Last Sunday, Mother’s Day greetings from London, came from granddaughter, Janae, who is currently working there for a couple of months, which included pictures she had taken and within a few hours they were here in Oroville. Remember when we used to take a roll of film to the drugstore and wait a week for it to return to us (or it sometimes got lost in the shuffle) especially if they were of a wedding or anniversary, and couldn’t be duplicated? I’ve had to try and unruffle the feathers of several when that happened. The customer could be offered a dozen rolls of film, free. but that couldn’t replace the loss. Ah! Yes, those were the days. I also received Mother’s Day greetings from Brazil, from our Marco, exchange student from the past and part of our extended family of the present. Unfortunately for Marco, death has taken both of his parents, with the recent death of his father. Kudos to Tonasket for the Armed Forces Legacy Project, that has been several years getting completed. Take time to stop and admire the good work that has been done. You’ll be glad you did. Also orchids to teachers and educators from Tonasket and Oroville (and others) that were recognized for the good works they do. Congratulations to our local Oroville Pharmacy for being the recipient of the Patriotic Award from the Blue Star Mother’s. Small town newspapers have a most
difficult time keeping afloat, these days with instant news happenings on TV, but the little community happenings don’t reach that media, so it is always with regret that the owners of the local paper has to “give up the ship.” Take it from one who knows. So it is indeed sad the Republic News-Miner had to call it quits. “It ain’t easy” having a newspaper… there are always those that wanna know why you didn’t print this or the other and those that are upset because you did. Those that say “All there is in the paper is Tonasket” and I suppose there are those that say the opposite in their area. Give the folks a break… they try to make a balance!! I did a lot of walking last May Day, but didn’t make it to the May Pole dancers on time. I was told they had a glitch, but you know what, they do know how to perform the routine perfectly, at practice, but once in a while there is a “boo-boo.” Be proud of the patience and leaders it takes to keep it going. As many know Bob Hirst has been on the “sick list” for quite a spell and not able to get out and “mingle” with folks, which is one of his favorite things to do. Bob has lived in the Molson-ChesawOroville-Tonasket area for quite a few moons, been in business, and been politically active and has made a multitude of friends (and possibly others) and his head is filled with so many funny stories, as well as some educational “stuff.” It is such fun to just sit and listen to him reminiscence. And, he plays a “mean game” of cards, and I really don’t think he cheats while doing that, but he does get accused of it, in our little circle. He has wanted so much to go on the Honor Flight to Washington D.C. for veterans but it seemed out of the question, for some time, due to his weakened condition. But being the stubborn guy, that many of our World War II survivors were (and are), he fought the battle

NORTH VALLEY HOSPITAL
A Stroke or cerebral vascular accident (CVA) can be very frightening. If ignored or left untreated a CVA can lead to long term debilitation, additional cost to your family, or even death. To improve your outcome, seek medical attention at the first sign of a stroke. The warning signs of a stroke; • Sudden numbness or weakness of the arm, face, or leg, especially on one side of the body. • Sudden blurred vision, decreased vision, or double vision in one or both eyes. • Slurred speech. • Trouble thinking or understanding speech. • Difficulty walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination. • Sudden, severe or unusual headache. If you think someone is having a stroke. Think F.A.S.T. to remember the warning signs of stroke: Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop? Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms in front. Does one arm drift downward? Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange? Time: If you observe any of these signs, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY! North Valley Hospital (NVH) has trained staff available 24/7 to triage, treat and when necessary transfer all stroke patients. Upon arrival to our hospital, be it by ambulance or walk in, our staff is trained to activate a stroke team and begin treatment at the door. Our staff will rapidly begin a physical assessment. Patients or family will be asked questions about their symptoms, what time the symptoms began, their medical history, what medications they are taking at home, and other pertinent questions. You can expect the staff to check your vital signs, give you oxygen based on your vital signs, start two IV’s, draw
(again) and was able to board the plane in Spokane last Thursday. With son Ron at his side to aid him, when needed, they went with 30 or so other guys. It will give Bob more new stories to add to his repertoire. Good thoughts and prayers were accompanying him for a safe journey. And, again we must remember to give thanks to young Justin Peterson who has diligently worked on fund raising projects, making thousands of dollars, to help with the funding of these trips. P.S. Bob made the trip, tired but extremely happy! Also learned from Bob that Al Robinson went on the flight. News is that Jim Manuel, after having several small strokes, had one that has put him in the hospital. Will try and have more details, at a later date. There is a couple living in the MolsonOroville area that will have an anniversary coming up, soon, and they have been married 70 years. Many know Harry and Vera Stockwell, in both communities, as they once lived “down in the valley” and grew apples and now they live “on the hill” and take it easy. Harry didn’t tell me if they were having a celebration, but they have children, so probably something will be in the “works.” On behalf of the Oroville community, we wish you much happiness and keep taking care of each other. You must be doing something right. Returning from the Memorial service for Ray Oliver, and seeing many friends and acquaintances I couldn’t help but think how proud Ray would have been to see all those present. He would have been more than proud of his daughter Diane for the superb eulogy she delivered. Nothing flowery, just told it like it was and (it was) beautiful. The music was so fitting (especially, “There’ll be Peace in the Valley”) and the pictures through the years were such a nice additive. You’ve all heard the phrase, “Still water runs deep” -- that was Ray. Quiet, but somehow, got

Co-author Eva Martin, RN at North Valley Hospital blood for labs, collect an EKG, notify a flight crew of possible transfer and obtain a CT scan as soon as possible after arrival. The CT will distinguish between a hemorrhagic stroke (brain bleed) or an ischemic stroke (a clot in the brain). Hemorrhagic strokes are treated with surgery where an ischemic stroke is treated with TPA or thrombolytic drugs which are used in medicine to dissolve blood clots. The thrombolytic drugs limit the damage caused by the blockage of a blood vessel. The goal is to administer TPA within three hours from onset of symptoms. That’s why seeking prompt medical attention at the first sign of a stroke will aid NVH in optimize your care and your recovery. After the CT, the doctor and staff will continue to ask questions. The questions are important for the safety of the patient, and the answers to the questions will determine if NVH can safely administer TPA. When our physician, nursing staff and the consulting neurologist have determined that TPA is the appropriate treatment, TPA

The Streetscape teams have been busy planting flowers in the pots in front of the businesses along Main St., in Centennial Park and the hanging baskets are now in place, and how beautiful they look, as well as the flags. It is nice to have the BIG flags back in place at the shopping center. The entry into town at the south end of town (a high school senior project) is looking nice and then on the north end we have a sizable row of “porta potties.” Granted, they are essential but must they be where they are presently located? There is a new business (to open soon) located in the empty Village Appliance building. Will try and make a stop there and see what it happening. George Penner had the misfortune of having an accident, while coming “down the hill” to attend May Day festivities. His motorcycle went a little different route than was intended and it and George ended up in the ditch, but I’m pleased to report that the damages to George will heal with time. Don’t know about the cycle. It can be replaced but there is only one George. It’s handy to have a nurse on hand and I’m sure wife, Willie, is seeing to his needs.

The Okanogan River, which has been at flood stage since late last week, began receding Wednesday, May 15, after topping out at about 17.1 feet. The river is considered to be at flood stage at anything above 15.0 feet and had been there since May 10. At 17, flooding is considered “moderate” but water levels remained above that for only a few hours. The river dropped below flood stage over the weekend, but forecasters urged caution as heavy rains on Tuesday, May 21 - accompanied by nearly 50 lightning strikes between Tonasket and Osoyoos - threatened to bring the water levels back up.
Monday through Saturday. Come visit!

SPORTS Hornets ousted in wild playoff game By Brent Baker bbaker@gazette-tribune.com
BRIDGEPORT - Throw a bunch of freshmen and eighth graders on the field in a highstakes playoff game, and just about anything can happen. And just about everything did as Oroville’s youthful softball squad threw an upset scare into Bridgeport before bowing out of the playoffs with a 21-19 loss on Wednesday, May 15. The Hornets lost their three regular-season games to the Fillies by scores of 15-4, 23-14 and 26-7. But Wednesday, they didn’t trail until the bottom of the fifth inning, then nearly came back from a five-run deficit in the top of the seventh before seeing their season come to an end. “We played a hard game,” said Oroville coach Dane Forrester. “It was fun. We made a few little mistakes - things they know better than to do, but they got a little anxious and excited at times. “Their coach talked about how hard fought a game we played. We’re such a young team; next year we’ll have four more eighth graders coming in. So we’ll get stronger every year from here on out.” In a game that featured scoring by both teams in every inning, it would be decided by the squad that first found a way to shut down the other’s offense. That turned out to be Bridgeport during Oroville’s at bat in the fifth. The Fillies had scored five runs in the fourth to tie the game at 13-13, and the Hornets needed to answer to keep the pressure on. But after Faith Martin walked and scored on Rachelle Nutt’s ground out, Bridgeport pitcher Anita Velazquez retired Oroville without any further damage in the inning. Bridgeport took a 17-14 in the bottom of the fifth, aided by a pair of Oroville errors, and added four runs in the sixth (all with two out) to head to the top of the seventh with a 21-16 lead. Oroville didn’t go down easily. Nutt led off with a single and scored on an error on Marissa Garcia’s ground ball. Jasmine Nutt roped a two-run single to make it 21-19, and Cruz Ortega walked. A double steal put Nutt and Ortega on second and third, but a baserunning mistake on Tosca Pickering’s pop fly resulted in a game-ending double play. Courtnee Kallstrom, one of two eighthgrade pitchers that served as the Hornets’ starters all season, pitched the entire game, allowing 13 earned runs on 15 hits while striking out four. “I’m proud of my pitchers (Kallstrom and Kendal Miller),” Forrester said. “They did a good job all season. Once they get that con-

sistency, they’ll just be all that much better. I hope we can get them to a pitching camp so they can continue to improve.” Forrester was pleased with the team’s progress, coming off two very difficult seasons, including a winless campaign in 2012. “We struggled just to get a win the past two years, and this year we got five and almost had this one,” he said. “If we could have gone to Wenatchee (for the double-elimination portion of the tournament on Friday), that would have been so awesome. I told the girls if they played their best game and played hard they could get there.” Bridgeport (13-9) was eliminated two days later with losses to top-seeded Kittitas and Lake Roosevelt. Offensively, Rachelle Nutt had three hits,
scored three runs and had three stolen bases; leadoff hitter Pie Todd had three hits including a double and drove in two runs; Jasmine Nutt had two hits and three RBIs and Tosca Pickering had a double and two RBIs. Kallstrom also had two hits. Forrester said he while he was happy with the Hornets’ (5-16) progress, he wasn’t yet satisfied. “Next year we want to go all the way to state,” he said. “You need to get there continually, because the first time you get there, you’re overwhelmed. Once you get there every year, it’s not just ‘going to state,’ it’s going to play the game. And then it really becomes a softball game. “This has been a great group of girls, very fun to work with. I’m proud of them.”
Oroville positioned for medal haul By Brent Baker bbaker@gazette-tribune.com
EPHRATA - Several Oroville track and field athletes will be in the mix for state titles, while the girls team will try to improve on last year’s 14th-place finish. Six Hornets are ranked in the top six in state 2B, led by Sierra Speiker, who is a heavy favorite to win the 3200 title. Speiker and Kaitlyn Grunst each qualified in four events while Callier Barker qualified in three. For the boys, Tanner Smith and Luke Kindred each qualified in two. The girls team took District 5/6 runner-up honors to Kittitas.
The Coyotes finished with 158 team points to the Hornets’ 123, followed by Liberty Bell (89), Bridgeport (74), Riverside Christian (72) and Lake Roosevelt (71). The boys finished sixth with 47 points as Kittitas (155.5) outpointed Riverside Christian (123). “I’m pleased with the kids’ performances and getting most through (to state),” said Oroville coach Harold Jensen. “The athletes know what they need to do to fine-tune for state.” Speiker took first in the 1600 (5:38.39) and 3200 (11:38.60) and was runner-up in the 800 (2:33.87). Grunst took second
in the high jump (5-0), second in the long jump (15-5.5) and third in the triple jump (31-0.75). Callie Barker took third in both the 100 hurdles (18.77) and 300 hurdles (53.71). Topping it off, Speiker, Grunst, Barker and Brittany Jewett ran to a first-place finish in the 4x400 relay (4:34.02). Also victorious for the girls was Breanna Ervin in the pole vault (7-0) while Sammie Walimaki (4th, 29.02) was added to the state list in the 200 as an alternate after a Kittitas athlete bowed out due to a scheduling conflict. For the boys, Tanner Smith won both the 100 (11.86) and 200 (24.00), while Luke Kindred
earned a trip to state in both the javelin (2nd, 149-5) and pole vault (3rd, 10-6). Others competing for the girls were Ervin in the 400 (5th, 1:10.80) and 100 hurdles (5th, 20.00); and Lisa Hartvig in the 400 (4th, 1:10.30) and high jump (4th, 4-4); Alexa Werner in the shot put (5th, 30-2) and discus (5th, 81-3); and Jewett in the javelin (4th, 92-4) and long jump (8th, 12-3.75). The Hornets will compete in the state 2B meet at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, a two-day event May 24-5 that is run along with the 1A and 1B meets. Events start at 10:00 a.m.
Three Hornet golfers head to state By Brent Baker bbaker@gazette-tribune.com
OROVILLE - Three Oroville Hornets will be advancing to the state golf finals in Olympia this week. Senior Conner Hughes and eighth graders Bryce Glover and Jordyn Smith will be heading to the state 1B/2B finals at Oakbrook Golf Course, May 21-22. The Hornet boys defeated Riverside Christian 431-487 to take team honors as those two schools were the only ones to field full teams at the district tournament on May 14. The league started out with five full boys teams, but ineligibility reduced the numbers of most of those squads below the full-team
threshhold. “Overall our golfers did a great job this year,” said Oroville coach DeHaven Hill. “I look forward to more success with our young people who qualified for state.” He said he wasn’t surprised by the district success, even the performances by his eighth graders. “Looking at their Hughes averages for the year,” he said, “I thought the two eighth graders had a chance.” Oroville claimed five of the top 11 individual scores in the tournament. Hughes, who last year made the but to get to the second day
of the tournament, will look to improve on last year’s 32nd place finish. He carded a 91 on the 18-hole course to win the tournament by 14 strokes over Lake Roosevelt’s Austin Rosenbaum. Bryce Glover, an eighth grader, carded a 105 to tie Rosenbaum and also claim one of the district’s six spots to state. Blaine Weaver (116) finished seventh and qualified as an alternate and will compete if one of the district’s other qualifiers has to drop out. Also competing for the Hornets were Kyle Scot (8th, 119) and Blake Rise (11th, 124).
Smith carded a 114 in the girls tourney to finish third behind Tanecia Stansczak of Lake Roosevelt and Ashley Borello of Riverside Christian.

Mills, relay sprint to state finals State’s 4th-ranked triple jumper to stay home By Brent Baker bbaker@gazette-tribune.com
CHATTAROY - Tonasket’s girls 4x400 relay team shattered a 28-year-old school record while setting a 10-second season-best performance, and Emily Mills (who is also part of the relay) also set a new PR in the 400-meter dash as both qualified for this weekend’s state finals in Cheney. Mills crept ever-closer to the hallowed (to 400 runners) minute mark while winning in 60.30 seconds. That ranks as the sixthfastest time run in 1A this season, third-best of the 16 state qualifiers in their qualifying meet. “She ran a great race,” said Tonasket coach Bob Thornton. Mills also had a part in the school-record performance of the 4x400 relay. She, Cassie Spear, Kylie Dellinger and Rose Walts grabbed the last state-qualifying spot by running a 4:12.30, breaking the 1985 mark established by Toya Vandersdale, Heather Maple, Kris Young and Sheri Dispenza. “They gave it all they had and ran awesome races,” Thornton said. A number of Tigers finished one spot out of state finals berths, including Mills in the 200 (4th, 27.25), Walts in the 100 hurdles (4th, 16.65) and Ethan Bensing in the triple jump (4th, 40-8.75). Bensing in particular was vic-
timized by the state’s allocation criteria. This year, the top three athletes from the Bi-District 6/7 meet advance to state (next year it will be four). Bensing actually is the fourth-ranked triple jumper in state 1A, but because he is also fourth-ranked in the bi-district, he didn’t make the cut. Ten athletes with lesser marks than Bensing last weekend will be competing in Cheney due to coming from weaker regions. Walts’ case was similar, though not quite as extreme. She recorded a faster time than six other athletes from other regions that actually did advance to state. There are additional qualifying time and distance standards that apply that qualify an athlete regardless of their placing. But they so difficult to meet that there were no athletes - male or female - in any event in any Class 1A region to meet them, and just one boy in Class 2B to do so. Other Tiger girls to compete included Dellinger in the 1600 (8th, 5:50); Kathryn Cleman in the pole vault (8th, 8-0); Shea Smith in the shot put (9th, 27-1); and Alissa Young (10th, 82-9) and Yasmin Cervantes in the discus (11th, 77-11). For the boys, Smith Condon trimmed two seconds off his personal best in the 400 while finishing sixth (54.47). Others included Bensing in the long jump (7th, 18-10) and Dallas Tyus in the triple jump (10th, 36-3.5). The state meet is FridaySaturday, May 24-25 at Eastern Washington University in Cheney.

Dumas, who also managed the tournament officials, said that the referees that hailed from Tonasket and Omak handled the tournament well. “They did an outstanding job managing time, people and the games with minimal altercations,” she said. “They worked well together to provide a smooth, fun-filled day. “Thanks to all of our board members, coaches, sponsors, volunteers and local vendors for making this day a huge success.”

TONASKET - Tonasket’s youth soccer squads turned in a successful Saturday while hosting 40 teams at its annual home tournament, winning titles in five of the six age groups. Participating teams traveled to Tonasket from Omak, Brewster, the Methow Valley and Oroville. “It was a very competitive day with many games ending in shootouts to break ties and crown winners,” said Tonasket Youth Soccer Vice President Christina Dumas. “As in all tournaments there were many surprises and eventful comebacks, which made the day fun and suspenseful for all. It sure makes all the volunteer hours worth it just to see all the smiles on the kids’ faces at the end of the day.”

Okanogan Valley Life RUN FOR THE BORDER The Annual Run for the Border Charity Ride took place last Saturday on Armed Forces Day. The ride runs 150 miles from Wenatchee to Oroville and raises money for various charities each year. Although they didn’t get quite the 300 riders they hoped for due to threatening weather, over 200 riders made the journey to Oroville and riders stopped to enjoy some of the local restaurants before heading back to Wenatchee.
