Council asked to form ‘Destination Oroville’
DESTINATION: OROVILLE AND BEYOND
GARY A. DEVON
MANAGING EDITOR
OROVILLE – Chamber of Commerce President Clyde Andrews asked the Oroville Council to consider the formation of a Destination Oroville Committee to help the city designate recipients of lodging tax money for tourism promotion. At the council’s Tuesday, Oct. 1 meeting, Andrews said that the Chamber had already formed a special Tourism Committee, but suggested Destination Oroville as an advisory committee, similar to the Okanogan County Tourism Advisory Board. OCTAB helps the county award grants of Hotel/Motel Tax money collected in the unincorporated portions of the county for tourism development. “I realize it would not be a require-
ment of the state law to form a committee, that’s for cities over 5000 in population. However, we have a unique tourism area and we’d like to give input on spending lodging taxes if that’s what you folks decide you’d want.” Andrews said the make up of the committee could include members of the three places that offer lodging where the tax is collected, the City of Oroville (at Veterans Memorial Park), the Camaray Motel and River Oakes RV Park, as well as other interested members of the community. “There are those who are resistant to seeing more tourists come through, but this is one of the cleanest industries an area can have,” said Andrews, who added his organization was leaving it in

Above, members of the Valley Riders Motorcycle Club took over Oroville’s Osoyoos Lake Veteran’s Memorial Park campground last weekend for their Last Chance Campout. The group, which has several campouts in British Columbia each year, saves Oroville for lasts, thus the “Last Chance” moniker. Over two dozen riders and their machines, mostly BMWs, but all brands were welcome, camped Friday and Saturday, leaving for various destinations on Sunday morning. There were riders from B.C., Eastern and Western Washington, as well as one rider from Idaho. Right,Valley Riders from Canada, Idaho and Tonasket, plan out their route for a ride on Saturday. The group chose to ride from Oroville to Loomis and from Loomis on to Tonasket. After a lunch at the Kuhler they went up the Havillah Road and stopped at the Old Molson Museum for some history, before heading back to Veterans Memorial Park.
THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE
OLYMPIA - Okanogan Valley GazetteTribune reporter/photographer Brent Baker won four awards at the annual Washington Newspaper Publishers Association Convention held in Olympia last week. Baker, an integral part of the GazetteTribune team, took first place in the Best Feature Story, long form, category for his article “Tonasket veteran donates kidney to daughter.” “Great article! It really grabbed my attention from the ‘lede’ to the final paragraph....” wrote the contest judge. He also took a first place win for Best Personality Profile, long form for his article “Hyde’s masterpiece comes to life.” “Visually engaging narrative and quotes from Hyde that move the story
and capture his personality and emotion,” said the judge. Baker, who covers sports for the Gazette-Tribune as well as general news, also won a third place for Best Sports News Story for “Mat Mettle.” In the Color Sports Photo – Action category, Baker took second place for “Close Encounter.” The judge writes, “This rodeo photo is strong because even though you can’t see the cowboy’s face, his hands do all the talking and what they are expressing is desperation. Also, the bull’s look is telling, almost like his eyes are lifeless, showing little sympathy for the cowboy.” This year the newspapers in the Sound Publishing Group won 218 awards overall, 75 first place awards, 72 second place, 67 third place and had four finalists, two for News Writer of the Year and two for Sports Writer of the Year.
Man arrested for Riverside robbery Orovillle man also suspected in Dan’s Market robbery BY GARY A. DEVON MANAGING EDITOR
OKANOGAN – A suspect in the armed robberies of two small grocery stores was arrested following several tips from people who recognized him from a video of the robbery of the Riverside Grocery released by the sheriff ’s office. On Monday, Sept. 30 the Riverside Grocery was robbed by a suspect who assaulted the clerk and stole approximately $600 in cash Sheriff Frank Rogers from the till. From the information obtained at the time and a video of the robbery that was put out to the public, the sheriff ’s office received several calls in reference to the suspect in the video. On Wednesday, Oct. 2, Alex A. Sanchez, 37, of Oroville, was arrested and booked for the robbery. “We had received numerous calls from citizens stating that they had watched the video and told us that the suspect
Alex A. Sanchez in the video was Sanchez. We also knew that Sanchez drove a van which had been described to us by the victim of the robbery,” said Sheriff Frank Rogers in a press release. Rogers continued, “When we felt we had enough on Sanchez we put out the information to local law enforcement to look for him. At around 5:30 p.m. last night Chief Clay Warnstaff of the Oroville Police Department spotted Sanchez who got out of the van and went
OKANOGAN VALLEY GAZETTE-TRIBUNE Volume 109 No. 41
into an apartment in Oroville.” Deputies were responding to the scene when Sanchez left the apartment and got back in the van and started to leave. Chief Warnstaff stopped the vehicle and arrested Sanchez at the scene without incident. Sanchez was transported to the Okanogan County Jail and booked for robbery in the first degree. “The case is still under investigation and we believe that Sanchez was possibly the one that robbed the Ellisforde store last month. Sanchez is well known to law enforcement and has extensive criminal history. We are also looking into other possibilities,” said the sheriff. In that theft a masked man with a box cutter, described as a Hispanic male wearing a red bandana over his face held up Dan’s Market on Sunday, Sept. 8. “A Hispanic male with a box cutter came into the store wearing a hat, mask and gloves last Sunday afternoon demanding money,” said Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers at the time. “He took $1500 and locked up the woman working there….” The man was wearing black jeans, a dark hoody, a cap and a red bandana over his face, according to the clerk’s grandmother, who added that her granddaughter was locked in the beer cooler until someone came into the store, heard her and let her out. “She blocked the door from the inside
so he couldn’t get to her if he decided to try to get in to the cooler,” said the grandmother. Sanchez is known to travel between Douglas County, according to Sheriff Rogers. “I give a lot of credit to everyone involved, they put a lot of time and effort

in this case to make an arrest before someone less was robbed or hurt. But we are extremely grateful and want to thank the citizens of Okanogan County, for all who called in with information. Because they took an interest we were able to make a speedy arrest in the case and for that, we thank you,” Rogers said.

Food drive to highlight Tonasket homecoming Submitted by Anita Asmussen Tonasket HS ASB Advisor
TONASKET - Homecoming 2013 will be held the week of Oct.14-18. Our theme is “Your World Our World.” The thought behind the theme is, no matter what your culture or point of view is we all live in the world together. As always we are trying to do our best in our community service project; therefore, this year we are holding a canned food drive during homecoming week. We’ll do that by having a week long food drive competition. Each class will have a shopping cart that they must decorate, and fill with collected canned food. We encourage our community to help out Wednesday night at the annual Powder Puff football game by bringing canned food, and Friday during our Homecoming parade and evening football game. Please bring a can of food to show your support for our local food bank. We will push our shopping carts decorated (with supplies by Grant’s) through the parade on Friday, and during halftime Friday night. We are using shopping carts instead of making banners this year. Shopping carts will be in the high school commons starting Monday, Oct 14.
More homecoming information: The yearly Homecoming Parade will take place on Friday, Oct. 18, at 12:40 p.m. We will drive the usual pattern through the bus lane, down through town, and then return to the high school parking lot. The THS Homecoming Assembly will fol-
low. Kick off is at 7:00 p.m. Friday, as the Tigers take on the Quincy Jackrabbits. The cost will be $6.00 for adults and grades 9-12. Visiting schools and home grades K-8 are $4.00, or free with your THS ASB card. Senior citizens (age 65 or older) price is $4.00 per game or Golden Oldies Cards $10.00 available at the gate or the THS Office and good for home games and all Caribou Trail League games. Activities for the week: Monday Oct. 14 (PJ and Crazy Hair Day) Noon activity - Bed Race Evening activity - JV Football at Lake Roosevelt, 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15 (Formal Fancy Day) Day activity - Taco Eating Contest Evening activity - Soccer at Okanogan, 4:30 p.m.; Volleyball at Okanogan, 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16 - (Color Day) Noon activity - Tug of War Evening activity - Powder Puff football, 7:00 p.m. (Cost $2.00).

The team of (l-r) Elizabeth Jackson, Kathryn Cleman, John Symonds, Vanessa Pershing and Brisa Leep took third in state horse judging, with Symonds taking second in individual competition. By Brent Baker bbaker@gazette-tribune.com
TONASKET - Tonasket’s FFA program added to its alreadyextensive collection of banners in late-summer and early-autumn competition as they participated in state horse judging, the Central Washington State Fair and the Adams County State Fair. Tonasket took third in state horse judging competition in Othello, with John Symonds placing second individually. Tonasket also took third in livestock juding and fifth in horse judging at the Central Washington State Fair and finished third in dairy judging at the Adams County Fair. “Everyone is doing exceptionally well in all the areas they’re performing in,” said Kathryn Cleman, who was part of the state horse judging team that included Symonds, Vanessa Pershing, Brisa Leep nd Elizabeth Jackson. “At state horse judging you judge six classes of horses in halter, performance, showing and riding,” Cleman said. “You take individual things like putting horse shoes and match them to a scenario. We did colors of horses.
One of our halter classes we had to publicly speak to a judge as to why we placed them that way. “Livestock judging we had our four classes and you assessed them on how they’re looking, muscling and that kind of thing. We did dairy and poultry judging as well.” At the Central Washington State Fair livestock competition, Tonasket claimed five of the top nine team spots. In dairy judging, Tonasket brought home its third place team finish behind the efforts of three (Chelsea Vazquez, Wyatt Pershing and Morgan O’Brien) that finished in the top seven individually. “At Yakima with horse judging, we didn’t have our original state team there,” Cleman said. ‘But everyone did very well.” The FFA will continue to be busy this fall as the first trap shoot takes place on Nov. 9 and the shop contest will be held Nov. 22 in Bridgeport. Tonasket FFA is also putting on the high school Tolo dance on Nov. 16 And, of course, the state champion rituals team will be heading to the national convention in Louisville, KY, Oct. 30-Nov. 2.

Okanagan Symphony Orchestra Concert SUBMITTED BY ROSEMARIE FULBROOK
OKANAGAN SYMPHONY SOCIETY
PENTICTON, B.C. - The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra opens their 54th season with music to lift the human spirit from three composers at the height of their creative power. Rossini’s rambunctious “William Tell Overture” starts the program which is followed by Franz Schubert’s unfinished “Symphony No. 8.” The expressive melodies and vivid harmonies of these two movements combine flawlessly in this beautiful composition which is considered to be one of Schubert’s finest works and which continues to perplex musical scholars as to why it remained uncompleted. The concert closes with Johannes Brahms’ last major orchestral work, the “Concerto for Violin, Cello and Orchestra,” a sweeping lyrical piece with the challenging difficulty of balanc-
ing two solo instruments with similar symphonic usage but dissimilar sounds. Distinguished guest artists Dale Barltrop, violin and Joseph Johnson, cello elaborate on the strong orchestral themes in a fusion of Romantic sternness and delicacy. Please join the OSO for this stellar season opening which will be dedicated to founding symphony member and supporter Bev Gay. The concert takes place on Saturday, Oct. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cleland Theatre. For additional insight into the musical selections, join Music Director Rosemary Thomson for the preconcert talk one hour prior to the performance. Tickets are available from the Penticton & Wine Country Information Centre, 553 Railway Street, Tel:250-276-2170 or 1-800-663-5052.

The Rumble in the Valley Returns to Richter Pass Motorplex in Osoyoos on Oct. 13.
It’s rumble time again for area drag racers Rumble in the Valley, Oct. 13. Submitted by Shana Cachola Wine Country Racing Association
OSOYOOS - The seasons are changing yet again in our Okanagan Valley. Along with Autumn comes The Rumble in the Valley. Wine Country Racing Association (WCRA) hosts the last event of the 2013 racing season at Richter Pass Motorplex in Osoyoos, on Oct. 13. This last race is always a fun one to take in for racers, fans and volunteers alike. Three car clubs from up and down the Okanagan come out in force to prove which one is the fastest. Along with these fun-loving car enthusiasts comes a real treat for the fans. It’s not every day that a person gets to see beautiful, classic cars pulling up to the starting lights. Ian Haryatt, of the Kelowna Kustoms, sped the trophy away from the Okanagan Rodtiques last season. Oliver’s Coachmasters
club will be itching to slam the peddle down, since they have yet to reign victorious in this event. The good-humoured grudges make this race day one for everyone to look forward to. Gates open at 9 a.m. Anyone interested in racing needs to come early to register and get your vehicle passed through a technical inspection. Time trials begin at 11 a.m. Final elimination rounds start at 1 p.m. Concessions and grand stands are available on site. Fans are welcome to bring their lawn chairs and coolers. Please remember events are alcohol-free. Cost at the gate is $10, with people 12 and under admitted free when accompanied by an adult.
Sept. 22 Results: Rain may have kept a few away from the track last Sunday, but the the threat couldn’t keep the die-hards away. It turned out to be a perfect day of racing for 35 race cars. The fans that ignored Mother Nature’s threats were treated to 135 separate drag races
and a day of fun. Glenn Taylor from Osoyoos won the Sportsman’s Bracket. He drove his black 1951 Mercury pick-up to victory over Osoyoos’ Blair Ogilvy, in his white 1981 Chevrolet pick-up. The Pro Bracket final was a battle among Oliver residents. Shana Cachola (in her pink 1972 Nova) barely ripped the victory from the grasp of Doug Blatchford in a close race. Blatchford drove his red 1969 Chevelle. The Super Pro victory belongs to Peachland’s Phil Walter. Walter zipped his 1986 Nissan by Dick Warren of Tonasket. Warren races a purple 1972 AMC Hornet called Rant ‘n Rave. David Madsen of Summerland took the trophy home in the Bike/Sled class, with his 2003 black Arctic Cat snowmobile. He defeated Osoyoos’ Steve Macor on his purple 2002 Kawasaki motor cycle. The fastest reaction time trophy went to Chip Sabyan of Oliver. Go to www.winecountryracing.ca for more information.
Andrews also discussed the vacant lot behind the Old Peerless Restaurant and the Chamber’s plans to rent the lot for free parking for shoppers and those with large vehicles. He said several local businesses have agreed to contribute in order to help pay the rent and maintain the lot, but wanted to know if the city could put the lot under its liability insurance and maybe help with signage directing people to the free parking. The idea is to get RVs, trucks and even employees of nearby businesses to park there, as well as offering an easily accessible parking area for downtown shoppers. “The Chamber will maintain the lot taking care of the weeds and snow removal and also control who parks there and for how long,” said Andrews. “The chamber would pick up the cost of
maintenance and whatever the extra cost it would take for the city to insure it.” Kathy Jones, Oroville City Clerk, indicated to the council that she had contacted the city’s insurance provider about whether they city could carry the liability for the lot, but hadn’t heard back yet.
Guest Rooms Lastly, Andrews said that as manager of the Camaray Motel, he would love to be able to develop a Guest Room program where local homeowners would make rooms in their homes available to rent. “There are days when the city park is full, we’re full and so is the River Oakes, if we establish Guest Rooms in a number of homes... clean accommodations... people would be glad to pay $60 to $100 a night,” said Andrews. He added he would be happy to start training people and set up a network and help with the
bookkeeping. “It’s a great way to serve the public when there are times we are full and we have no where to send people. It is also a great way for people to make some extra money,” he said. The city is investigating whether sprinkler systems would be required as that would most likely put an end to the plan. “Pullman had what they called ‘bed finders’ and we stayed two or three times and there were no requirements for sprinklers,” said Councilman Jon Neal. “I think we’ve heard some good ideas tonight,” said Mayor Chuck Spieth to the Chamber president.
Race to the Top Oroville High School Principal Kristin Sarmiento requested and got the support in the schools bid for a Race to the Top Grant. She said the funding would focus on rural schools to make online education and technical improvements at the school,” she said.

Bell, Hook & Spindle opens in Tonasket Funding available for forest landowners in Okanogan and Ferry Improve forest health, reduce wildfire risk Submitted by Janet Pearce DNR Communications Manager
OLYMPIA – During the 20132015 biennium, the Washington State Legislature appropriated over $1 million in forest hazard reduction funding for private landowners in the Forest Health Hazard Warning Area in Okanogan and Ferry counties. This funding is administered through the Washington State
Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The funds are an investment by the state to help landowners cover a portion of the cost (up to 50%) for practices such as thinning, slash disposal and pruning that improve forest health by reducing tree density and target wildfire risk by removing fuels. Many forest stands in the region are too dense, which weakens the trees and makes them more susceptible to damage agents such as western spruce budworm or pine bark beetles. DNR foresters are available to meet with landowners, assess the health of their forests and make recommendations for how landowners can best achieve their
goals and objectives. Landowners interested in having a forester assess their forest or applying for cost-share practices such as thinning, pruning, or slash disposal should contact: Steve Harris, Landowner Assistance Manager, Washington State Department of Natural Resources, Colville, WA or call (509) 684-747 or email steven. harris@dnr.wa.gov Forest landowners may also apply for cost-share funding online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/dnrcostshare.

OCHS annual meeting Nancy Cole: Brass Bell author to speak The Gazette-Tribune
MALOTT - The Okanogan County Historical Society will hold its annual membership meeting on Saturday, Oct. 19 at the Malott Grange Hall from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. At 11 a.m. there will be a featured speaker followed by a potluck luncheon and a Board of Trustees meeting. The public is invited. The speaker will be author Nancy (Camille) Cole, a resident of Portland, OR, who will talk about her book—The Brass Bell—which is the life story of her great aunt, Marion Parsons. Cole’s narrative non-fiction account of Parson’s life begins in Omak, where Parson had gone by train from Syracuse, NY, in 1924 to teach for two years at the Omak school. Parson left the people in Omak she had come to
love, the place in the frontier she had learned to call home and she did it all with courage and stature when her father asked her to take the helm of a new school back home in upstate New York. She had wanted to stay in Omak, but was obligated to fulfill her father’s wishes. In the end, her dreams were realized in ways she never could have imagined. Cole wrote the book from journals her aunt kept, letters that were written to her, newspaper
articles, and the many stories told to her by her Aunt Marion when she was a child, and by Parson’s former students who are still alive today. For more information about Camille Cole see the author’s website: www.camillecole.com.

THE TOWN CRIER LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A few of the members of the Valley Riders motorcycle club take in the sights at the Old Molson Museum last Saturday. Those in this group made the loop from Oroville to Molson, stopping to eat at the Kuhler in Tonasket before heading up the Havillah Road and then to Molson and back to Oroville again.
Some riders still give ‘bikers’ a good name
I know motorcycle riders who hate to be called “bikers” and from what we’ve seen on the news in New York recently they may have a point. Many of those who ride motorcycles have experienced times when they’d like to kick the car that cut them off -- especially if you can see the driver was busy chatting away on their cell phone. There’s an old saying, ride like you’re invisible and that all the four wheeled vehicle drivers, “cagers,” are out to kill you. Sometimes it feels like it’s true. However, what took place in New York City recently, with the large group of motorcyclists where a few members broke the windows of a family’s SUV in order to extract some sort of punishment was totally uncalled for. If the video is to be believed the driver can’t be faulted for Out of wanting to get his wife and young child to safety. My Mind Despite his large vehicle he was outnumbered Gary A. DeVon by riders, some of who wanted to do him harm. There are “bikers” who travel in groups who aren’t like that and are a benefit to the areas they visit. Take the Valley BMW Riders which is made up of Canadians and some Americans, mostly from the Okanagan/Okanogan Valley. About 25 members (on a variety of motorcycle brands) and a few visitors from other motorcycle clubs, made the annual trip to Oroville for the “Last Chance” Campout at Osoyoos Lake Veterans Memorial Park. This year we had mixed weather, but the group seemed to enjoy themselves. While here they not only ate and drank at the local restaurants, from here to Tonasket, they also spent money at the grocery stores and other businesses. A few, non-campers, even stayed in the local motel. But most of all they enjoyed travelling around Okanogan County, visiting Molson, Chesaw, Havillah, Loomis and several points in between. They raved about the sights they saw and enjoyed the history of our area. These, and those who participate in the annual Run for the Border Charity Ride are the type of “bikers” we should think about when we see someone on a motorcycle. Most who ride are among the 99 percent and not the few who give motorcycle riders a bad name. So remember, put down your cell phone and watch out for your twowheeled companions on the road like me.

Dear Editor, Eden Valley Guest Ranch has had the privilege to provide lodging and trail rides for professionals performing services for persons with blindness. I was pleased to learn more about their services to provide devices and teach persons to use them available to veterans and non veterans at no charge. The representatives asked that I share their information with you so the Gazette-Tribune can share it with their readers. Veterans who have low vision or blindness can receive independent living training in their homes by the VA. They must be enrolled in the VA to receive services. Kelly Golden provides instruction in all areas of daily living skills, computer training and cane training. She meets with the veteran and provides an assessment to determine the areas that they need training in, including any low vision devices that will assist them in reaching their training goals. The VA also provides low vision exams to enrolled veterans. Interested veterans may contact Kelly by email or phone listed below. Kelly Golden, M.Ed, CLVT, COMS, CVRT, Blind Rehabilitation Specialist, Dept. of Veterans Affairs, (509) 434-7214, Kelly. Golden@va.gov Non Veterans may contact Cheryl Martin at Lilac Services for a similar program. She can be reached at Lilac Services for the Blind 1-800-422-7893. Their web site is www. lilacblind.org. Their home page provides an
overview of their program including information for persons needing assistance and also how groups or individuals can donate to support this program. It is based in Spokane and has outreach to many counties. In this time with shrinking budgets to help persons with blindness and low income, it is wonderful to know about these programs. I hope some of your readers will benefit from this information. Robin Stice Eden Valley Ranch
A mystery
Dear Editor, On Saturday, Sept. 14, 2013, the annual lasagna dinner and silent auction for our library was held at the American Legion Hall
in Oroville. It was a truly enjoyable and funfilled evening. For a donation, you got to experience many different types of tasty lasagna, a side of salad, bread, delicious homemade cookies, coffee and punch. The creativity of each individually decorated table is always a pleasant surprise.The silent auction had many terrific items on with to bid. Live music was provided by Cheat Grass, always a treat. Thank you. Thanks also to all the volunteers who worked hard to pull this together, the donors of the auction items and the patrons who attended to show support for our local library. Oh yes, the mystery.... There was one thing missing. The plethora of people who use the services of our library. Linda Heagy Oroville

And today, I’m here to talk about another exciting new opportunity in health care coverage in Washington State. Starting Oct. 1st, Washingtonians will be able to purchase affordable, quality health coverage through Washington’s new health insurance marketplace, Washington Healthplanfinder.

90 YEARS AGO:
Molson Leader Oct. 10–17, 1923: W. E. Morris, who lives about three-quarters of a mile south of town, has a crop of oats which averages 102 bushels to the acre. The grain is from extra fine imported seed and is the heaviest yield ever reported in this section. The number of high school pupils is increasing. There are now 35 enrolled and we expect several more in the near future. Monday morning, Floyd Burnham, Keith Ross, Jack Geoghegan, Sidney Sneve and Wm. Priest joined our studious group. As a result of a booze affray, five men were arrested in Molson Monday and taken to jail in Okanogan. Late Sunday night, three drunken men, Ed Almey, better know as “Red,” Chas. Johnson, alias Harry Smith and Torry Allstot, who had previously come into possession of a half-case of Gorden’s Gin, started a rough house at the residence of Miss Nellie McNeil, kicking in the door, breaking windows and finally chasing her out in her night clothes. She appealed for help and was given clothing by some of the neighbors. Chesaw News: The Raymond Mack threshing machine and crew is at Bolster this week, threshing for the Pickering’s and Lind’s, while the Jenson-Davidson Threshing machine is south of town, being at present at Martin Larson’s. The grain is now being moved to local warehouses more rapidly and outgoing shipments are also rapidly increasing. Several trucks are being used for hauling grain to the warehouses. A gang of men have been working on the OrovilleMolson Road the past week, dragging, filling holes and generally repairing it. This is a much needed improvement and autos can now make the trip between the two towns easily in 45 minutes. The O.H.C. of the Molson High School gave a wiener roast on the shore of Molson Lake Friday evening from 7 p.m. to midnight. The evening was passed singing, playing games and toasting marshmallows and wieners. The pupils of the school and four teachers were present. Oscar Morris, who was arrested here last week for selling liquor, pleaded guilty and was sen-

Healthplanfinder will ensure sure you have all the information you need to be confident in choosing the plan that best fits your needs and your budget. Families and small business owners will continue to benefit from better access and more choices, and insurance companies will be forced to compete for the business of Washington state families. No one will be denied coverage because they are sick or have a pre-existing condition. And most health plans are not allowed to have annual benefit limits and none are allowed to have lifetime benefit limits. I’m confident that Washington state is going to lead the way nationally in offering competitive and quality choices for consumers. I encourage you to find out what options are available to you and your family, when open enrollment begins October 1st. Simply visit www.WAHealthPlanFinder.Org.

Following a discussion, which went well beyond the usual adjournment, the Oroville Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, voted to go on record as opposing the proposed Wilderness Bill. This bill would establish a Wilderness Area of the Cascade Range from the Canadian Border to Yakima. It was the feeling of the Chamber that the Forest Service has been administering this area for the benefit of all for several years and should continue. Grocery Prices: 22 oz.

25 YEARS AGO:
Okanogan Valley Gazette-Tribune Oct. 6 -13, 1988: The Sept. 27 continuance of the previous Tonasket Town Council meeting here was adjourned without a decision as to whether the town will declare the Youth Center land surplus and sell it to a builder for senior housing. Crest Construction, the contractor who is planning to build 20 units of senior housing in Tonasket, had approached the council in an attempt to purchase the site where the Tonasket Youth Center is located. Crest had offered to move and/or help rebuild the youth center at a new site. The Omak Pioneers invaded Tiger Country in Tonasket last Friday in a Caribou Trail League contest. Both teams were fresh from wins and ready to do battle. With 1:27 left in the first half Bayley powered his way to pay dirt to end the half at 6 - 6. Omak applied the pressure in the second half and at the final bell, the score was 17 – 14 in favor of the Pioneers. The Oroville Hornets dropped a tough game to the Lake Roosevelt Raiders and came out on the losing end of a 28–7 score. The Hornets only score came in the final minutes of the fourth quarter when Brad Scott completed a 20-yarder to Dave Howe for the TD. The Washington State Liquor Control Board announced today that it will distribute excess funds for the first quarter for the fiscal year in the amount of $10,000,000. The state will retain $5,000,000 with $4,000,000 to the incorporated cities and $1,000,000 to the counties. Tonasket’s share will be $1,811.22 while Oroville will get $2,690.23 and the county $7,651.31.

Okanogan Valley Life Still some apples left to be picked Into October and just a wee bit of frost, in some places. My poor straggly flowers are just waiting for the “big one” and then out they go ‘til next spring and we’ll start the cycle all over again. I’m just catching up with yesterday. By tomorrow I should be ready for today. Do you ever feel like that? Thank goodness for big grandsons to give the mattress a turn.

Nature paints some beautiful pictures with colors that just can’t be matched with oil paints and a brush. Have you had the new cereal called Krave? It’s little pillows of crunch, filled with real chocolate. Just what we need another cereal. Hairdresser Peggy is back in her shop... Yeah.

KETTLE FALLS - Seven Tigers ran personal bests at the Can-Am Invitational on Saturday. “It was a new flat and fast course,” said Tonasket coach Bob Thornton. “The weather was perfect for running and some fast times were produced.” Amber Monroe led the Tonasket girls with a 16th place finish in a personal-best 21:46. Johnna Terris (20th, PR 24:14), Jenna Valentine (35th, PR 24:41); Kallie Mirick (37th, PR 24:45), Lea Berger (38th 25:17)also competed for the Tigers. Running for the boys were Adrian McCarthy (48th, 19:55), Tim Jackson (59th, PR 20:21); Abe Podkranic (61st, PR 20:41);, Smith Coondon (63rd, 20:46), Bryden Hires (66th, PR 20:52) and Dallin Good (46:00 after being during the race). “The high school team’s legs were feeling the results from running hard on Thursday at Chelan,” Thornton said. “They were still able to run fast times. I continue to be impressed with the fact that everyone on the girls team is racing, not just running races. Everyone is improving
race to race, staying focused and racing.” The Tigers originally were scheduled to race at Lake Roosevelt on Saturday, but that meet was cancelled. The Tigers instead will host a meet on their home course on Friday, Oct. 11, with a middle school race at 4:00 p.m. and the high school races beginning at 4:30.
Tigers race at Chelan CHELAN - The Tigers also ran a 2.3-mile race at Chelan on Thursday, Oct. 3. Amber Monroe won the race with a time of 16:33. “We focused on racing, not just running,” Thornton said. “I was happy with how they all did. We are gaining experience.” Others for the girls included Johnna Terris (6th, 17:10); Lea Berger (13th, 18:46); Jenna Valentine (17th, 19:13) and Kallie Mirick (18th, 19:53). Hunter Swanson paced the boys with an 11th-place finish in 14:24. Also finishing were Adrian McCarthy (15th, 14:35); Tim Jackson (18th, 15:05); Smith Condon (26th, 15:21); Bryden Hires (27th, 15:24); Abe Podkranic (30th, 15:49); and Dallin Good (38th, 24:00).
Tigers’ hot start to be challenged this week By Brent Baker bbaker@gazette-tribune.com
TONASKET - Tonasket’s girls soccer team is on an early-season run none of the girls have experienced before. Tigers coach Darren Collins hopes that can keep their momentum in high gear, though the level of difficulty for their schedule increases significantly in the coming days. The Tigers, 5-1 overall (4-1 Caribou Trail League) dominated Chelan on Thursday, Oct. 3, in a 7-0 victory, but this week face perennial state powers Cashmere and Cascade, both on the road, as well as a third road game rematch at Chelan. “It’s a little better feeling this year,” Collins said. “We’re scoring more goals, which is nice. Last year it seemed like we were going to a shootout every other game. Either that or our wins were all by a goal or two, and our losses seemed like they were a goal or two.” Many of the goals have been notched by names familiar to Tonasket soccer fans in the past few seasons. Against Chelan, Kylie Dellinger and Kathryn Cleman each had a pair of goals, with another scored by senior Selena Cosino. But younger players have stepped into play critical roles as well. Freshman twins Ashlynn and Kayla Willis have been in the middle of the action from the start of the season. Their speed on the outside and ability to get accurate crossing passes into the goal box has set up numerous scoring opportunities. Ashlynn Willis had three assists in the Chelan contest, while Kayla added an assist and a goal.
Sophomore Jaden Vugteveen added an assist and scored a goal when her corner kick glanced into off a Chelan player. “The Willis girls really have great footwork,” Collins said. “We’ve got another freshman that’s not eligible yet that is of that quality too.” The “one that got away,” a 1-0 loss to Okanogan, still irked Collins, though. “We just didn’t bring it that game like we could have,” he said. “But hopefully we can play against Cascade and Cashmere they way we played them at home last year.” The Tigers beat the Kodiaks at home and kept it close against Cashmere until the late-going. “Everyone goes in to Cashmere scared of what’s going to happen to them,” Collins said. A big thing is not being scared to play them. We’ve played them tough a couple of times the past couple of years, so hopefully we can have the right attitude when we go down there.” The Tigers’ next home game is Oct. 17 against Oroville which starts a run of five of six games on their own pitch to close out the regular season.
Tonasket 2, Brewster 1 TONASKET - The Tigers edged Brewster 2-1 on Tuesday, Oct. 1, to temporarily left themselves into a second place tie in the Caribou Trail League. Ashlynn Willis and Kathryn Cleman scored for the Tigers, with Cleman and Jaden Vugteveen picking up assists. “We got 20 shots off and (goalkeeper) Baylie Tyus kind of got the night off with just two saves,” Collins said. “We just had trouble finding the back of the net.”

Hornet football swamps Manson Face key home contest with Liberty Bell this week By Brent Baker bbaker@gazette-tribune.com
OROVILLE – After last week’s gut-wrenching loss, the Oroville football team needed a “get well” game. The Hornets got just that on Friday, Oct. 5, steamrolling winless Manson for 32 first quarter points on the way to a 59-6 victory, Oroville’s first Central Washington League win of the year. Luke Kindred and Tanner Smith combined to rush for 355 yards and five touchdowns on just 14 carries as the Hornets led 46-0 at the half. Kindred started the onslaught with a 47-yard run to cap a twoplay 50-yard drive with 8:37 left in the first quarter. Less than two minutes later, Smith returned a Manson punt 37 yards to the Trojan 6-yard line. Dustin Nigg scored on the next play.
Kindred added a 21-yard touchdown run, Smith had a 50-yard score and Nigg returned an interception 14 yards to paydirt before the first quarter was done. Smith added scoring runs of 41 and 72 yards in the second quarter. Sean DeWitte and Logan Mills each added 5-yard touchdown runs in the second half. Smith finished with 207 rushing yards on six carries, while Kindred added 148 yards on eight carries. The Hornets, who didn’t attempt a pass all night, totaled 454 yards rushing to Manson’s
72. The Trojans added 64 yards through the air, but needed to attempt 30 passes (completing eight) to do it. Smith, Lane Tietje, Nigg and Kindred led the defensive effort. Oroville (3-1, 1-1 CWL) hosts Liberty Bell (2-0, 2-0) on Friday, Oct. 12, in a game that will go a long ways toward sorting out the league’s playoff picture. With only two state playoff spots available, the game is critical for the Hornets’ post-season hopes. The Mountain Lions, who didn’t play any non-league games thanks to an initially low turnout,

Cashmere trounces Tigers By Brent Baker bbaker@gazette-tribune.com
CASHMERE - Any hope that Tonasket’s football team held of staying with perennial power Cashmere was put to rest within minutes of opening kickoff as the Bulldogs scored early and often on the way to a 55-6 victory on Friday, Oct. 4. Cashmere (4-1, 3-0 Caribou Trail League) took just four plays to drive the length of the field with its first possession to score the opening touchdown, and after holding the Tigers to a threeand-out on their first possession, returned the ensuing punt for a score and a quick 14-0 lead. Three touchdowns in the final three minutes of the first half including two set up by Tonasket turnovers - gave Cashmere a 49-0 lead at the half. Cashmere just ran over and around us and didn’t let us get any rhythm on offense,” said Tonasket coach Jay Hawkins. Michael Orozco scored on a 63-yard run in the third quarter for Tonasket’s only score. The Tigers (2-3, 0-3 CTL) play their fourth straight CTL road game on Friday, Oct. 11, at Cascade.

Brewster 3, Tonasket 0 TONASKET - The Tigers gave Brewster a scare in the first set of the Monday, Oct. 1, CTL match, but couldn’t sustain their momentum in a 25-21, 25-6, 25-13 loss. “Senior libero Cassie Spear played very consistent for us tonight in the back row,” Gliddon said. “I appreciate her hustle and on-target passes. Carrisa Frazier served well for us.”

Vickie Reese
was very devoted to her job and met a lot of people in doing so. We want to remember her pleasant personality and her laughter! Vickie’s love for horses started at an early age and she always had one or two of her own. She grew up with her very special uncle, Darrell Reese, and special cousin, Linda Kitterman, who named Vickie her “sister chick.” She always spent as much time as possible with her great niece and nephew Skyler and Reese Noel. She made sure Skyler had a horse (Sadie) and Reese claimed “Buck” as his own. Vickie loved God, her family, her relatives and special friends. Vickie is survived by her mother, Ruby Reese; sisters Janet and Peggy Reese; her partner of ten years Matt Thacker; daughter Lisa Oliver, Brewster; grandson Eric Farley; great-grandson Trenton, Omak; and nephew Jason Reese, Oroville. She was proceeded in death by one son Troy Glenn Rairdan, her father Robert Reese, niece Melissa Reese Noel, nephew Justin Reese and her grandparents. We all love and miss her very much. At Vickie’s request there will be no service.

SpokAnimal gets donation Submitted by Shelley Sharp
SpokAnimal C.A.R.E.
SPOKANE – Executive Director of SpokAnimal C.A.R.E. Gail Mackie accepted a check for unrestricted funds from the estate of Tonasket resident Marjorie Harper for $125,000 on Wednesday, Oct. 2 The private donation, one of the largest in the 30-year history of SpokAnimal, comes at a time when the non-profit organization loses its long-standing contract for Animal Control Services with the City of Spokane, which has resulted in a loss of over 50 percent of the shelter’s annual revenue. Estate Executor Gerald Oakes, wife Peg, and daughter Michelle made the presentation to Mackie
at the entrance to the Dawg House, which kennels adoptable dogs. “This month and next we are in the process of evaluating and assessing what programs and services we can keep, and which ones we can’t,” said Mackie. “This very generous gift may mean we don’t have to do that.” The unrestricted money will be used to fund the many important services of SpokAnimal including: the Dorothy Clark Animal Clinic, which performs low-cost spay/neuter and microchip services to the public; the successful Prison Dog and Farm Livin’ barn cat programs; Crusin’ Critters, a transfer service which shuttles adoptable animals between shelters state-wide; education in the schools; senior pet-therapy visits; and training programs for volun-
teers working to socialize largebreed dogs.
