Oroville adopts changes to Critical Areas ordinance

RODEO BY DAY, FIREWORKS BY NIGHT

BY GARY A. DEVON MANAGING EDITOR

OROVILLE – After several public hearings and nearly two years of interim ordinances, the Oroville City Council adopted the changes to the Critical Areas Ordinance at their Tuesday, July 2 meeting.

“At the last council meeting I proposed changes to lessen the impact of the prohibitions in the floodplain as long as they have at least 5000 square feet to include in upland property or to designate as open space,” said Chris Branch, director of community development.

Councilman Jon Neal expressed concern about 100 foot setbacks in the riparian areas and said it looked like there was an additional buffer of 25 feet on top of that.

“Did I read that right?” asked Neal.

Branch said that 25 feet of riparian area was required, but not 100 feet from the ordinary high water mark, only 50 feet.

Following these few questions about setbacks in the riparian area Councilman Ed Naillon made the motion to adopt a

resolution making the changes, including making a change to reflect a lesser setback requirement. The motion was seconded by Councilman Tony Koepke and passed unanimously.

Rod Noel, superintendent of Public Works, updated the council on mosquito spraying for this year.

“I received a call from the Public Works director of Omak last Friday afternoon and he said they are not going to spray as they neglected to get a spray permit for the Tribal side of the river.

That pretty well prices us out of the market. We wouldn’t be able to get the acres required to get the copter guys at a price we could afford.”

Police Chief Clay Warnstaff asked the council if they had seen that the school district had cut down the trees along the elementary school.

“Those trees were city heirlooms,” said Warnstaff, asking if that was city or school property.

“Part of the sidewalk ordinance says that all trees within the city right of way are property of the city, like the

OHA still intends to sue, Crown vows to defend itself “vigorously”

BY GARY A. DEVON MANAGING EDITOR

YAKIMA – Crown Resources Corp. has entered into an agreement with the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) to settle a penalty issued last year for water quality violations at the Buckhorn gold mine near Chesaw.

On July 16, 2012, Ecology assessed a $395,000 penalty to Crown when the operation’s water treatment systems failed to adequately capture and treat mine water during the 2011 and 2012 spring seasons, resulting in permit violations. Also in 2011, Ecology determined that discharges of treated mine water created slope instability and triggered a

landslide that impacted a small stream below the mine.

As part of the settlement, Crown will pay $80,000, a portion of the penalty and will undertake environmental projects worth $180,000 in the local area of the mine. The projects will be approved by Ecology and completed within the next three years.

Crown agreed to the process and schedule for issuing a new wastewater discharge permit that will contain more stringent limits for groundwater and treated wastewater discharged from the mine. A schedule of compliance and interim limits will allow Crown to bring the Buckhorn Site into compliance with the new limits in a timely manner. The new permit is scheduled to be issued on Nov. 1, 2013.

Crown also agreed to reimburse Ecology for the costs of dedicating one full-time and one part-time employee

Jack was here Black and family kick back in valley, highlands

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - Jack Black’s Tonasket-area connections are not a secret.

Nor was his vacation here last week as the well known actor/ musician and his family didn’t exactly hunker down and hide during his visit. Black, his wife Tanya and young sons Sammy and Tommy, while visiting dad and stepmom Tom and Linda Black, took in plenty of the area, from buying fireworks at the stand in the TVBRC parking lot, fishing, causing a bit of a stir while grocery shopping at Grant’s and consuming a pizza with his

family (and a reporter) at the Tonasket Pizza Company.

“I’ve been here quite a few times,” he said. “Even before my dad moved back here, we had lots of family here. My grandma, Gladys Black, lived here. The Fanchers are all my aunts and uncles and cousins.

“This is my third time with the boys. The first time Sammy was just a baby. The second time it was just me and Tommy. But this is the first time with both my boys (at once). It’s a great town and we always have a great time when we visit here. Plus, there’s less traffic here than in L.A.” While Jack and Tom enjoyed a fishing trip on July 4, the rest of the family took in the Chesaw Rodeo, though to their regret, the boys didn’t enter the chicken chase.

“When Sammy found out he could have kept a chicken he was a little upset,” his dad said. “I told him I didn’t think they’d like it on

the plane.”

The boys were also treated to a tour of the inner workings of the local ambulance by the Tonasket EMS, which, as it turned out, found they were dealing with a five-year-old locked in a braineating zombie trance.

“So we go on the ambulance, and they let us turn on the sirens and they took turns getting on the gurney and getting carried out of the ambulance,” Black said.

“Then Tommy looked like he lost consciousness. But when he woke up he wasn’t Tommy any more, he was the Living Dead.

“We all ran. He wanted to eat our brains.

“It was amazing, one of the highlights of the visit.”

Black himself is not working on any zombie movies. Most of his time and energy is currently feeding Tenacious D, the comedy

Trees at school got ‘axed’ for parking Planting new trees at elementary and high schools

By Gary A. DeVon Managing Editor

OROVILLE – Despite the uproar, Oroville School Superintendent Steve Quick said there was a need to cut down nearly a dozen trees at Oroville Elementary – making room for parking.

“One of the big reasons for their removal was complaints about lack of parking,” Quick said. “I hear there have been several comments on Facebook about the trees being cut down. I suppose that doesn’t count the earlier com-

ments on Facebook about there being not enough parking.”

Several parking spaces were lost when the school instituted a pick-up and drop-off zone at the elementary, partly in response to safety concerns brought up by the Oroville PTO. Quick said the trees were also starting to lift the sidewalk in some areas and added that their removal will aid the district in snow removal.

“It has been harder in the past to clear the entire area of snow,” said Quick The superintendent responded by phone while on his way to Utah for a vacation, too late to make last week’s newspaper deadline.

He was unable to say whether the trees were on school property or part of the city right of way, but felt that the district, which had

always been responsible for the trees, like the adjacent sidewalks, had the right to cut them down.

“We plan on replanting several trees inside the fence at the elementary, as well as several at the high school where we cut down some trees last year,” Quick said.

Cut down were nine old maple trees and two locusts trees that lined the east side of the elementary school along Main Street. Most of the comments on Facebook last week concerned the beauty of the trees, many of them suspected to be over 100-years-old, as well as the shade they provided the primary end playground.

“When we plant new trees and replace some of the playground equipment and bring up the play area to the new standards, it’s going to look sharp,” said the superintendent.

State budget passed but questions remain

By Brent Baker

bbaker@gazette-tribune.com

TONASKET - The state legislature, after months of negotiations, finally approved its budget at the end of June. With it comes $1 billion in new funding for education in an attempt to meet the requirements of the landmark school-funding lawsuit known as the McCleary case, which ruled that education funding must increase by $3-4 billion by 2018.

How the funding increase will play out for the Tonasket School District is still in question, said superintendent Paul Turner.

The funding increase is real, he said, but specifics are still few.

“The analysts still need to go through it all and let us know what it all means,” he said. “(Business manager) Debbie Kitterman is waiting (for information) but will be hitting the

(Tonasket) budget hard starting Monday. But we still haven’t heard anything on the ‘pivot table,’ which is what we get that tells us how the money will roll out.

“So we’re still waiting to see what it really means for us.”

He said that, though it hasn’t been confirmed, that the 1.9 percent salary cut that teachers took two years ago may be eliminated.

“That’s what we’re hearing,” he said. “We’re 99 percent sure, and if it’s true that would be good.

Overall we’re hoping to get at least to take out some of the anxiety.”

The district’s budget hearing will be at its next school board meeting on Monday, July 29, beginning at 7:00 p.m.

STEM Turner said that a team of five, including himself, attended stra-

tegic planning session aimed at moving the STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) initiative forward.

“We got to visit Boeing and sat with some of the people who work there in a panel discussion,” he said.

“It became very obvious, both from Boeing and our own institute, that STEM fields are very, very important for kids. But just as important are the ‘soft skills’ - being able to work collaboratively, or just being able to get to work on time, things like that.”

He said that there will be a similar gathering in August to do more planning.

“The week was good,” he said, “and we’ll be working to move that forward.”

NORTH COUNTY – There are several events planned for the July 19-21 weekend, with Heritage Days in Oroville, a Tractor Pull in Tonasket and Sock Hop in Wauconda.

“During the course of the investigation, which began in 2011 at the La Espiga De Oro store on First Ave. in Okanogan, the Task Force purchased over $18,000 worth of cocaine from the suspects. Also during the two year period Task Force Detectives purchased or seized over two and a half pounds of cocaine and one pound of marijuana,” said Sheriff Frank Rogers Sheriff and USBP Drug K9 units were also involved in the searches. All three warrants were executed at the same time, one at the store in Okanogan, another at Trailer #13 at the M Bar J Trailer Court in Malott and at 2 S. Elm Street in Omak, the owner of the store’s residence.

“The result of those warrants included weapons, a substantial amount of cash, approximately three quarters of a pound of heroin, over a pound of cocaine and a pound and a half of methamphetamine,” said Rogers. “Several vehicles were also seized from the various locations.”

The suspects were booked into the county jail, charged with crimes ranging from identity theft, delivery of a controlled substance-cocaine, possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver, heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine, money laundering and the delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 of school property, according to Rogers.

On June 11, the Okanogan Highlands Alliance notified Crown Resources, a subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation, that it would be submitting a “Notice of Intent to Sue” letter to Crown.

This letter is a prerequisite to the filing of a citizen suit under the Federal Clean Water Act. After Ecology’s recent announcement about the penalties, OHA, a watchdog group released a statement through their director, David Kliegman, saying the agency’s actions are a step in the right direction, but don’t go far enough.

“Ecology’s negotiated penalty agreement provides a better way to compensate for the Buckhorn Mine’s water quality violations then straight payment to the Washington State coffers,” said Kliegman. “However, the penalties only covered a portion of the mine’s permit violations and more vigorous enforcement is needed. OHA still plans to file a citizen lawsuit for permit violations, which go beyond the water quality violations that Ecology’s penalty covered.”

After they were informed of OHA’s intent to sue in June, Crown released this statement: “We are deeply disappointed that the OHA decided to pursue this unnecessary legal action, as we continue to work extensively with the Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE)

to address water quality concerns at the Buckhorn Mine. With the WDOE’s knowledge and oversight, Crown has implemented significant on-the-ground measures aimed at ensuring ongoing permit compliance, including modifying its water treatment plant, increasing treatment capacity, adding “capture” wells, implementing a variety of source control measures, and undertaking a number of additional activities to ensure future permit compliance.”

The statement continues, “Kinross is strongly committed to the ongoing protection of water quality at Buckhorn and will continue to work with the WDOE to ensure that water quality is protected in the vicinity of the Buckhorn Mine. Crown’s operations have not resulted in harm to human health or the environment and we will vigorously defend against any lawsuit filed by the Okanogan Highlands Alliance.”

Drug case leads to arrests The Gazette-Tribune

OKANOGAN – Simultaneous search warrants were served at a store in Okanogan and residences in Malott and Omak ending a two year drug investigation that led to several arrests The warrants were served by law enforcement from NCW Narcotics Task Force, the Okanogan County Sheriff ’s Office, USBP and DEA. Three subjects were taken into custody: Marcelino Corrales, 47, of Omak, who is a part owner of the La Espiga De Oro Store. Also arrested were Alberto MontejanoRangel, 32, of Okanogan and Rodrigo Taizan-Rodriguez, 26, of Bridgeport.

MINE | FROM A1 to oversee the ongoing permitting and compliance efforts at the Buckhorn Mine over a three-year period.

“We believe this settlement with Crown, along with a new, more stringent permit, provides us the best path to assure that the Buckhorn Mine protects surface and groundwater from contamination while the mine continues to operate,” said Charlie McKinney, Ecology’s water quality manager in Yakima, who oversees the permit.

According to Mark Ioli, Vice President and General Manager of Crown Resources, the company has also agreed to implement a variety of source control measures such as the installation of liner material beneath overburden piles and the like to minimize infiltration. Other measures focused on eliminating compliance concerns will also be taken like additional wells, stormwater cutoff trenches, etc., he adds.

“We are pleased that we are able to resolve the appeal and look forward to continuing to work closely with the WDOE to ensure ongoing environmental compliance at the Buckhorn mine,” said Ioli.

“We are strongly committed to the protection of water quality and working with regulatory authorities to maintain the highest environmental standards at Buckhorn.”

Ellen Roberts celebrates 103 years

By Joyce Emry

Correspondent

It has been three years since a great celebration, honoring Ellen Roberts on her 100th birthday, was held at the Oroville United Methodist Church, where Ellen is a member and, attended regularly, since 1935, until the closure of the Assisted Living complex, Tonasket. The new residence she lives in is farther away and church begins at an earlier hour, all of which make it impossible for her to attend, which she thoroughly misses. On July 8th she reached the 103rd anniversary of her birth, which occurred in Nebraska.

Ellen and her husband, Lester Roberts, came to Washington State as newlyweds, during the depression and “dust bowl” of Nebraska, as it was thought the apple industry, which was getting started, might be a better means of making a living. The young couple traveled with the Lloyd Emry’s (Lester’s sister was Merna Emry) and they settled in the Oroville area, where Lester worked in the orchards and eventually bought his own, which he successfully operated and was tragically killed in an accident on the farm, leaving Ellen, a widow, with their three children, Gene, Gary and Dorothy.

Since she had been a teacher in Nebraska she went to Eastern University, got her credentials updated and taught fifth grade, until she reached retirement age, teaching many who are still in the area, including our daughter Vicki Haney and another niece, Luanne (Emry) Billings. They had a difficult time remember-

Ellen Roberts celebrated her 103rd birthday on Monday, July 8. ing to call her Mrs. Roberts, as she had always been Aunt Ellen to them.

Ellen was and is, an avid reader, but dimming eyesight has made her cut back somewhat, but if the print is large enough she still enjoys a good book. And she has a great vocabulary, and keeps her hands busy with crossword puzzles. Ellen had the opportunity to do extensive traveling with fellow teachers, after retirement, which she thoroughly enjoyed.

She gracefully moved into assisted living, after giving up her apartment and it was with sadness she had to make yet another move, with the closure of her “home” in Tonasket, to a family owned and operated facility, “The Golden Years,” located at 48 Hubbard Road, Riverside, WA

98849.

She enjoys company, but it was her idea to not do the “party thing” but invites you to stop by, as you come or go from Omak.

I have known Ellen for over 65 years and learned so much from her, in so many areas. She was and is a joy to be around.

Her pleasant attitude, her faith, her knowledge, her friendliness, make her a lady to pattern your life after.

She is my husband’s only aunt, but I claim her too. We love her a lot, and just love the way she points her index finger at you when she wants to make a point.

We call it the “schoolteacher point.” We think she is an exceptional lady and wish her a Happy 103rd Birthday and good days to follow.

Work has begun to bury water pipe to connect Champerty Shores with the Oroville water system. The homes will eventually connect to the Eastlake Sewer system as well.

OROVILLE | FROM A1 sidewalk. The adjacent property owner is responsible for taking care of them, like pruning. I’m not sure that would include chopping them down,” said Branch.

“Those were healthy maple trees,” added Noel.

Warnstaff suggested that the city inventory other trees within the right of way and look at ways to preserve them.

The council was also informed of the final copy of an easement from the state Department of Natural Resources that will allow a water line connection between the city water system and Champerty Shores. The new connections will serve over a dozen homes on the east side of Lake Osoyoos, just south of the Canadian border.

This fall and winter, Tenacious D will be playing in Germany, England and other European countries, as well as a music comedy festival in Santa Monica, Calif.

“That one’s called the Festival Supreme,” he said. “Check it out: festivalsupreme.com.”

Black said he has a couple of movies that he is trying to develop: one based on a book called “The Financial Lives of Poets,”

by Spokane author Jess Walter, and another with Mike White, who wrote Jack Black fan-favorite “School of Rock.”

“Nowadays, things have slowed down,” he said. “So I don’t believe any of them are going to happen until they actually start filming, or until someone gives you $5 million or however much it costs

to make them.”

While Black said he isn’t trying to push his boys toward replicating his career, he and Tanya (a cellist and vocalist) have naturally exposed them to the arts.

“We’ll just see what their interests pull them towards,” he said.

“Try to limit the iPad time. I’m not sure what kind of career there is in the iPad field. We already encourage the music, dance and theatrics. They like it and we do it with them. It’s what we know.

“They’ll probably rebel and go into engineering or God knows what. But I hope they go into the arts so we have something to talk about, because I don’t know anything else.”

Black, of course, is known to the Tonasket schools for his generosity in donating Disneyland passes to the entire Tonasket High School band in 2011 when it traveled there to perform and take part in a music clinic. But one of his long-term commitments has been to the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation.

“I got involved because we thought we had a family member who had mitochondrial disease,” Black said. “It turned out that person did not, but I’d already become involved. I couldn’t bail out on a good cause and the good people involved, you know? So whenever they call up and ask if I

could so something, I do my best to oblige.

“I was just at a big convention for that, met a lot of the doctors.

There’s a lot of support building for that organization. They say that it’s connected to a lot of other diseases. If they ever figure it out, it will have a huge domino effect to other related things, wide-ranging from autism to all kinds of things, though I’m not smart enough to talk about what they all are.”

As the Black family was headed back to Los Angeles, they hoped to swing by Quill Hyde’s “A Cavallo” mobile carousel, as it is a truly unique piece of Tonasket art.

“Were really impressed with the arts community here in Tonasket,” Black said. “There’s a whole subculture of stuff going on. I met Quill and he couldn’t have been less interested in me or my famousness. So I was immediately intrigued. I found out he was a really cool artist and found out he went every year to Burning Man (the art event/ community that appears annually in the Nevada desert, for which A Cavallo was originally built).

“That’s another movie I’m trying to develop, one about Burning Man,” Black added. “I’ve never been to that. So now when I meet someone who’s been there, I’m interested.”

Sheriff ’s Office after locating him.

Herriman went missing in the river on on June 23 near Dunckel Trailer Courts off Omak Riverside Eastside Rd., approximately seven miles north of where his body was discovered.

According to the Sheriff, it appeared that Herriman, 25 and Jeremiah V. Tachell, 22, of Omak went into the river near the trailer court.

“Tachell was pulled to a log jam and was able to pull himself up onto the logs but Herriman was last seen swimming south

down the river,” Rogers said.

“Search and Rescue was called to the area and searched until dark with searchers and divers but were unable to locate any sign of Herriman.”The search of the river continued the next morning, but the river was running high, very muddy and cold and faster than normal.

“Divers (could not) see anything underwater, everything was being done by feel,” said Rogers, who added that the Colville Tribe assisted in the search of the river with their boats.

THE TOWN CRIER

Jack Black: Like Bigfoot I missed seeing him again

Jack Black is kind of like my Bigfoot. I hear he’s spotted everywhere – Tonasket of course, but even at the Molson Midsummer Festival a few years back. Everyone asks me if I saw him, but like the mythical giant footed creature I guess I just missed him.

This week our intrepid Tonasket reporter Brent Baker has a front page article on the actor/musician. When I told a friend from Seattle Black was going to be featured this week, he asked why I wasn’t doing the interview. I just said well, that’s what I’ve got Brent for – he’s our Mr. Tonasket.

But, said Geoff, you could have told him about the Tumbleweed International Film Festival. I should have known better. Geoff and friend Mo are the folks that bring the Tumbleweed to Oroville every year and are gearing up for the Out of fourth annual festival the first Thursday, Friday My Mind and Saturday of August. Maybe next year Black Gary A. DeVon could enter one of the short online movies he mentioned to Brent in his article.

I guess I could have told Geoff that Black, whose dad Tom belongs to the same fly fishing club as I (that is if I ever catch up on my dues), was as elusive to me as the famous Bigfoot of the Northwest. Or maybe Ogopogo would have been a better answer.

As kids, whenever my younger brothers and I would travel to Penticton and points north with our folks, dad would tell us to keep a lookout for Ogopogo in Lake Okanagan – never saw him/her either. And a trip to Scotland and Loch Ness at age 15 didn’t reveal Nessie to me either.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, I’ve been compared to both Bigfoot and Ogopogo. Canadian friends at college likened me to the sea monster because of my swimming style (or lack thereof) and my motorcycle club, made up of mostly Canadians, nicknamed me Bigfoot when I rode my motorcycle with a walking cast on my size 14 foot after surgery. I see a pattern developing here – is it me or just the Canadian sense of humor (or is that humour)?

Going back to a theme from last week’s editorial when we talked about all the excitement being generated on Facebook over Oroville School District cutting down the trees on the east side of the elementary – that’s nothing compared to the comments and likes we’ve gotten on Facebook since Brent posted a photo of Black hamming it up at the Tonasket Pizza Company. Most of the comments are positive, but there were a few “Where’s Tonaskets” as well as a few “What’s he doing in Tonaskets.” If Black’s stepmom Linda, the volunteer coordinator at the Tonasket visitor information center, has anything to do with it no one will be asking “Where’s Tonasket.” Maybe having Black on our Facebook page and in this week’s issue will also go a long way towards getting the word out about what a great community Tonasket is.

As for me, I guess I’ll have to settle for seeing Black in movies, or in our newspaper, because I certainly keep missing him when he visits.

Like Bigfoot and Ogopogo I know he exists; people keeping telling me so.

THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF OROVILLE & TONASKET

Solutions for today’s high energy costs OPINION BY DOC HASTINGS U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Remember when gas prices were under $2 a gallon? It wasn’t that long ago. In fact, the price for a gallon of gas was just $1.89 when President Obama took office in January 2009.

Today, gas prices near $4 a gallon are beginning to feel like the new normal. However, it doesn’t have to be this way and the American people shouldn’t have to accept Rep. Doc Hastings skyrocketing gas prices as simply a way of life.

Without a doubt, high energy prices are one of the biggest drains on our economy and the impacts are felt every day. Especially in rural areas like Central Washington where residents must often travel miles for the most basic of necessities, these high gas prices are forcing families to make tough choices in their budgets, causing schools to run fewer buses, and driving up the costs of business for our nation’s job creators.

As Chairman of the Natural Resources Committee with jurisdiction over energy production on our federal lands and waters, I continue to pursue an all-of-the-above energy approach that harnesses the natural resources we have here at home.

Last week the U.S. House of Representatives approved, with bipartisan support, a bill to expand access and open new offshore areas to energy production.

The Offshore Energy and Jobs Act, which I authored, requires the Obama Administration to implement a new oil and natural gas leasing program that includes areas with the greatest known energy resources. This is not a “drill anywhere and everywhere” bill, COMPILED BY CLAYTON EMRY FORMER GAZETTE-TRIBUNE PUBLISHER

75 YEARS AGO: 1938: I was unable to find the issues for the rest of 1938 so this section will not be available for the balance of 2013.

50 YEARS AGO:

July 4th - July 11th 1963: Alaska Bound El Dorado Caravan stopped in Oroville to spend the weekend to take in the various activities the Chamber had lined out for them. Ten of the 11 campers were parked at the Civic League while their drivers and passengers were officially welcomed to our community. Although the rains came, 22 persons took advantage of the guided tour planned for them Saturday. The group was transported in the Dwinnell Bros. bus with Everett Easley, local real estate agent, as guide and narrator.

They were taken to Nighthawk and down to Loomis where they dismounted at Sully’s General Store for a photo op. Burglars got away with over $300 in cash and tools from the Oroville Gold Club last weekend. Police Chief Buck Gates said the burglars probably entered the clubhouse west of Orovllle some time early Saturday morning. Entry was gained by breaking a window. A cash register was looted, some items taken and a nearby tool shed was broken into. About $100 worth of tools are missing. A gas tank at the clubhouse was completely drained. Tourists are on the move through Oroville, according to Mrs. Ernie Thornton, caretaker at the local information booth. Mrs. Thornton’s records show that during the month of June, 364 cars holding 1,033 people stopped and asked information at the booth. Last year, for the same period, 349 cars with 1087 people.

So far it has been about 50 percent Canadian and 50 percent from the states. However, there was one car each from England and Mexico. Weather wise: June 26th, maximum of 77 degrees and a low of 55 degrees; June 27th, 73 and 48; 28 th, 76 and 56; June 29th, 73 and 53; June 30th, 73 and 51; July 1st, 82 and 50; 2nd, 90 and 62. A total of .97 inches of precipitation. The General Service Administration opened the bids

but rather a targeted approach that would open new areas in the Atlantic Coast, Pacific Coast and Alaska. It also implements critical reforms to strengthen the safety and accountability of our offshore energy agencies.

The need for this bill is a direct response to President Obama’s actions that have locked up America’s abundant energy resources.

When President Obama took office, nearly all of our offshore areas were open to energy production, thanks to the efforts of Congress and President Bush agreeing to lift the decades-long drilling moratorium. Instead of seizing this opportunity to increase our energy security, President Obama discarded this plan, canceled lease sales and imposed a

restrictive leasing plan that keeps 85 percent of offshore areas off-limits to energy production and offers no new jobs.

According to a recent Rasmussen Poll, 68 percent of Americans believe we need to develop new sources of energy; and there’s no reason why that shouldn’t include our offshore resources.

This bill would create over a million new American jobs and generate $1.5 billion in new revenue. We owe it to the American people to remove the barriers that block access to our resources and to take the steps necessary to help put us on a path towards greater energy security.

ITEMS FROM THE PAST

weather was warm and a recent rain kept the dust down. The crowds sat comfortably in newly constructed bleachers and watched cow, saddle bronc and bareback riding. A large quarter page ad by all Sprouse Reitz stores for the GRAND OPENING of the Omak Omache Shopping Center on July 14. Ciment Quebec, the Canadian cement firm is not closing the book on locating a plant north of Ellisforde, but is looking into options elsewhere. One of the many limitations is a state that at present does not have a policy that is geared to attract new business and industry. Another drawback came from environmental agencies. Although all the agencies involved were in agreement on the plant’s ability to be operated in such a manner as to not harm the environment, the approximate two year timeline for approval was unsatisfactory for the company which wished to start construction by September 1988. This project would have required a workforce of 250 jobs. Elaine Zieroth, former wildlife biologist on the San Juan National Forest in Colorado has started work as the Tonasket District Ranger. Wildlife has been Zieroth’s emphasis in the Forest Service, but she has gathered broader experience, including time as acting ranger on a Colorado Ranger District. Real Estate bargains: Large corner lot in Oroville, very nice 2 bdrm., 1 bath home, fenced large garden spot, electric and wood heat, new carpeting, $25,000; Lovely 3 bdrm., 1 bath home, fireplace insert, 1 car garage, nice lot with backyard fenced, located in Tonasket near the schools $47,000.00. A statement appearing in This & That‚ “A small town is usually a place this is divided by a railroad, a main street, two churches and a lot of opinions.” There are some recent additions to the decor at the Burgerhaus Restaurant in Oroville. These additions are the wooden model trains crafted by local restaurateur, Bill Ecklor. Ecklor started crafting his trains from drawing and pictures he found in books his wife purchased for a son whose hobby was electric trains. The wooden models are designed, roughed out, assembled and finished in Ecklor’s shop, which is the back of his restaurant. The change of decor has also prompted a change of name for the Burgerhaus. The restaurant will now be called “The Whistle Stop.”

for the remodeling of the U. S. Customs office at Oroville on June 26th. The bid was awarded to Jack Fast, Seattle, in the amount of $37,948. The bid covers extending the building about 15 feet to the east, taking in the first lane of the three-lane checking area. New rest rooms will be installed for public use and a remodeling of the present office is called for. Last Thursday evening, the Little League All-Stars were chosen by the coaches of the teams. The team will represent Oroville in the coming Little League Invitational Tournament. The players are: Tommy Siegrist, Donny Farmer, Nicki Rainsberry, Gene Harnasch, Steve Springer, Steve Chamberlin, Duwayne Edwards, Kenny Barry and Billy Rairdan. The coaches are Art Henderson, Norman Dull, Rodney Leavell, Rich Robinson and Rex Harden. Vic Didra, of Tonasket, was the All-Around Cowboy at the 21st annual Chesaw Fourth of July Rodeo last week. Didra took home the silvermounted spurs, donated by Mike Lynch of Mike’s Saddle Shop. Didra placed first in bareback riding and cow riding and second in calf roping. Charlie Eder, Grover Leslie and Walter Turner and Sons provided the cattle for the show. Grocery items: Cucumbers, $.10 each; 10 # bag of flour, $.89; Beef Cube Steaks, 10 2-oz. steaks, $.99; MJB coffee, $.46 per #. 6 8-ounce tubes Biscuits, $.59; Chuck roast $.59 per #; 3 roasting ears, $.19, peaches, 3 No. 2 1/2 cans. #.89.

25 Years Ago: July 7th - July 14th, 1988: The 1988 Chesaw 4th of July Rodeo was officially named and dedicated to Marjorie Leslie.

Mrs. Leslie was among the founders of the annual affair in 1942 and served as Grand Marshall one year. The Chesaw Rodeo held each year was once again a big success as witnessed by the crowd’s cheers and applause.

The town of Chesaw swelled from 15 or so population to several hundred overnight. The

Okanogan Valley Life Time to enjoy the sun and water So, the 4th of July is behind us. Now what shall we do? If the lake is ever going to be warm, this is about time for that. I used to love being in the water, but was never a very good swimmer, but many fun times were had at rivers and lakes in my younger days. Being in the water always seemed to bring on hunger, so maybe that is why I liked those outings.

Fried chicken, potato salad and even homemade ice cream. All day having fun…and nary a cell phone, iPod, Kindle or any other battery operated “thing.”

So, now the rain stops. After the dam-

It will bring back some thoughts of the “old days” as you view displays from the early days of the Peerless, Princes, Zosel’s, and others. Even have some pieces from an eating establishment in Molson. Those volunteers come up with some most interesting displays.

Well, the 4th of July has come and gone for another year. At this time last week Chesaw was buzzing with all of the things that had to be done in preparation of the “BIG” day.

The stands were repaired, the new speakers hung, the grass mowed and the rocks picked in the arena. The Drill Team was practicing some days and evenings to perfect their routine for your enjoyment.

The day before many of the Vendors and Concessions were busy getting ready for the crowds to arrive.

While the Family Sports were going on, the Parade was lining up just north of town. This years Grand Marshal was Dean Brazle.

I can’t tell you how excited he was to represent Chesaw and tell of his life on our Hilltop. All week long

“Mom, I’m joining the Army (Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard).” ... You fill in the blank.

These few words can stir up a huge range of emotions; fear, pride, anxiety, and always lots of questions. Eight years ago my son joined the Air Force. He and his family are currently stationed in California with one deployment under his belt. My son-in-law was also an Airman taking my daughter with him to Georgia for four years and then was deployed twice.

With no history of military service in my family I had war movie/9-11 romanticism about the military. Following rules, regulations, procedures, relocations, and deployments and having my own children not always allowed to answer questions to my satisfaction was unnerving. Being a military mom isn’t always as easy as some can make it look.

I glommed on to any war seasoned military moms I could find once the deployments started.

Their stories told to me, sometimes with damp eyes and low tones, that they knew exactly what I was going through. Contact with them gave me comfort and encouragement. Next, I joined a military mom service group called the Blue Star Mothers of America forming a chapter in

The Parade had more than 20 entries this year, including some local Royalty from Oroville, Okanogan, Ferry County, and Tonasket.

Oroville Eagles 3865 would like to thank State Madam President Sheila Wilson, State Worthy President Ken Schnorr, Deana Reyes, Boby S., D. Lance, Tom and Donna Toust and Shirley Schaub for coming on July 3 for their state visit. We learned a lot from their visit. Oroville Eagles put on a great BBQ feed and we all had a great time with friends and Eagle sisters and brothers.

Recapping the ‘big day’

Death is not a period but a comma in the story of life!

Sometimes mysterious things happen at our house. Like where is our battery charger for the autos? And where are the millions of ants coming from that just appear out of nowhere and attack a crumb that is lying on the floor?

A drive to the Highlands found even more wildflowers than were blooming the weekend of the Summerfest celebration. Profuse beauty! An artist could have a “field day” painting the landscape, at this time of the year.

Friend Mary Ann Chamberlain has gone to her higher rewards, after being in Extended Care, Tonasket, for a lengthy time. I knew her mostly from bowling with her. She could throw a ball halfway down the alley, with ease. She was a hair dresser, by trade, and a former boss said she was a “darned good cook.”

Watershed Functioning, Plant Ecology and Stream Processes Submitted by Julie Ashmore OHA Conservation Coordinator

U.S. Border Patrol photos

CHESAW - Okanogan Highlands Alliance introduces a unique opportunity to learn about our highland waterways with two highly qualified stream experts.

On Saturday, July 20 at 10:00 a.m., everyone is welcome to attend an indoor presentation at the Chesaw Community Center about our local streams. Directly afterward, a field trip will be offered (preregistration required), providing on the ground examples of the concepts discussed during the presentation.

Gina McCoy, Stream Morphologist, will discuss how watershed functioning leads to characteristic patterns of streamflow and sediment delivery, creating the watershed ësignatureí. She will also explain how the resulting interactions among energy, water, sediment and structural elements in streams create the morphology we can see. Tom McCoy, Plant Ecologist, will discuss how disturbance ecology shapes the upland and riparian plant communities, contributing significantly to the characteristic watershed ‘signature’ and fluvial processes.

Gina describes the connections between the big picture and the close-up view: “Dialing down from the landscape to the site scale, watershed functioning is driven by interactions between nonliving and living elements,” she says.

“Stream processes are driven by watershed functioning and stream channels respond dynamically to both local influences and the integration of processes occurring across the watershed.”

Tom adds his perspective on the role of plant life: “Riparian vegetation is a highly diagnostic attribute of the landscape,” he says. “It can often be read like a book that describes the infinitely variable interaction between soil, climate, vegetation, channel characteristics, and past and present disturbance and land use patterns.”

Walking streamside, the event leaders will provide an opportunity to observe up-close and in-person the components of stream processes that affect channel degradation and recovery, channel incision and widening, and equilibrium within the stream. Channel stability will also be discussed, in terms of both energy dissipation within the stream and plant life near the stream. Myers Creek will be observed in the reach south of the Canadian border, and factors will be discussed that have contributed to its current state onsite, as well as what can be done to promote restoration.

Tom McCoy is Manager of the Methow Wildlife Area, and Gina McCoy is a Habitat Engineer with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Priority registration for the field trip is offered to OHA members, and remaining space will be available on a first come, first serve basis to the public. Those who plan to attend the field trip will get the most out of the experience if they also attend the indoor presentation.†Both are offered free of charge to the community, and donations are welcome. Field trip details will be provided upon registration.

Okanogan Highlands Alliance is a nonprofit that works to educate the public on watershed issues. Please visit okanoganhighlands.org/education/hw for more specific information or contact julie@ okanoganhighlands.org.

During an FBI conference I came up with the idea of basing an officer from within the school as kind of an “Asset Sharing Program” (Ms. Harvey’s words).

I met with Mr. Quick, the school Superintendent, along with Mayor Chuck Spieth to include the Police Committee members Mr. Tony Koepke and Mr. John Neal. Everyone agreed that the program would be beneficial

That does it for this week, thanks, and have a great week!
