Election Local primary election results in few surprises BY GARY A. DEVON MANAGING EDITOR
OKANOGAN – While few local candidates faced challengers in the recent primary elections, there was one race, that for Okanogan County PUD Commissioner District 1, that drew three candidates, as well as incumbent David Womack. Womack, who has served multiple terms in the position, got safely through to the upcoming general election by earning the highest number of votes at 441, according to the early, not yet certified, ballot count last Friday. That was enough to earn him 29.2 percent of the vote. His next closest competitor was Scott Vejraska, who will be sharing the ballot in November. Vejraska, an area rancher, got 408 votes, or 27.0 percent. Next was Steve Nearants with 340 votes and James Miller with 320.

Rice fills vacant seat BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM
TONASKET - The Tonasket City Council appointed Lois Rice to fill the vacant council seat opened by Jean Ramsey’s resignation in June. Rice was approved by a 3-0 vote (council member Jill Vugteveen was absent) at the Tuesday, July 22, council meeting after a brief executive session to review the qualifications of Rice and fellow applicant Sandi Sunda. In other actions: • The council held its annual public hearing the Six-Year Transportation Plan, which was reviewed by city planner Kurt Danison, who added additional projects. The council later approved the plan, 4-0. • Danison was also authorized to draft a letter to the Economic Alliance with the city’s top three project priorities to apply for “.09 funds” that could move those projects along. Those projects included: a complete streets project to reconstruct Whitcomb Avenue (US-97) through the downtown core; infrastructure and annexation at the south end of the city; and the creation of south end
A Canadair CL-415 SuperScooper amphibious water bomber lands on Osoyoos Lake while swimmers, many from the airplane’s country of manufacturer, Canada, enjoy cooling off last week. The aerial firefighter, one of two making runs about every 15 minutes on Thursday, Aug. 7, would land on the lake, scoop up more than 1600 gallons of water and take back off headed for fires in the Methow. The water would then be released at designated points to help suppress the fire. The two flying boats would fly low and slow over Oroville and Veteran’s Memorial Park, appearing to nearly skim the trees as they made their approaches and take-offs. Gary DeVon/staff photos

Denney will be new Oroville City Clerk Water request denied after much discussion BY GARY A. DE VON MANAGING EDITOR
OROVILLE – Councilman Walt Hart, serving as mayor pro tem, announced that JoAnn Denney will be Oroville’s new city clerk/treasurer following the retirement of Kathy Jones at the end of October. The announcement that Mayor Chuck Spieth had selected Denney was made at the Tuesday, Aug. 5. Oroville City Council meeting to a round of congratulations from the council members, who confirmed her appointment. Denney, a 23-year employee of the city, was on hand as she was taking the minutes that night for the council. The first order of business was approval of the city’s six-year transportation plan. This plan, a requirement of the state, shows which roads the city would most like to see improved in the next six
years. Such a plan is drafted each year and aids a city when they apply for funding for things like paving and overlay projects. However, just because a road is not currently on the plan does not mean that it might be added or taken off as the need arises.
PROJECT UPDATES Rod Noel, Superintendent of Public Works, commented on several projects, including the North End Water Reservoir. The reservoir will serve people on the North End Water System, which is located mostly north of Oroville and west of Lake Osoyoos. The city felt it needed to be built if it was going to supply water to the new U.S. Border Patrol Station and much of the funding is coming from the federal government. “The project is complete and on line. It is functioning well and there are no major issues with the project as a whole, just a few issues that were mostly cosmetic and our crew handled those,” said Noel. He added that he had forwarded the

Cross-border partnership launches ‘Discover Route 97’ tourism website TOTA AND NCWEDD JOINT RELEASE
OKANOGAN REGION - A cross-border tourism partnership launched an eye-catching website today giving visitors to North Central Washington state and British Columbia’s Thompson Okanagan region a rich new source of information and online links to learn about and explore travel destinations up and down the scenic Highway 97 corridor. The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) and the North Central Washington Economic Development District (NCWEDD) have teamed up in a joint trans-border project to present a combination of new and existing tourism resources on the new Discover Route 97 website ñ route97.net. The goal of the site, with more than 30 attractive and informative webpages, is to make visitors aware of the amazing destinations along Highway 97, give them direct links to key organizations, places, and tourism resources in the area, and to promote travel on this important Canada-United States corridor. TOTA President & CEO Glenn Mandziuk says the new website demonstrates the benefits of two tourism regions working together to help expand visitor stays in both areas. “This is exactly the kind of initiative we envisioned in 2012 when TOTA and NCWEDD pledged to work together on ways to grow our tourism industries,” Mandziuk says. “By giving visitors to North Central Washington and the Thompson Okanagan a website full of information about the exciting destinations in both regions, we can help to draw visitors up and down Highway 97 for longer trips. This helps travelers and it helps our tourism industry stakeholders on both sides of the border.” NCWEDD Administrator Jennifer Korfiatis says this project recognizes that tourists don’t stop at the border. “We’re excited about this project. We believe that by working together, both
TOTA and NCWEDD can showcase our individual regions in a collective way and present compelling experiences that will help visitors to explore our regions.” Korfiatis and Mandziuk point out that this cross-border project has the support of elected officials from the cities, counties, and First Nations alliances in the regions on both sides of the border. The Discover Route 97 website project manager, TOTA Community Development Specialist Simone Carlysle-Smith, notes that the project was carried out by an experienced team of professionals who have created leading-edge tourism branding and marketing for areas in the Thompson Okanagan over the past two years. They include Roger Handling (Terra Firma Digital Arts), Teresa Nightingale (Attention Web & Graphic Design), and Kim Cameron (tourism marketing writer). “We are incorporating worldclass strategic tourism marketing elements to this project to make the new website as informative and useful for the visitor as possible,” Carlysle-Smith says. “It is being optimized for effective web searching and will be easily and attractively viewable on all mobile devices.” The website introduction notes: “Route 97 is the ribbon of highway that binds each community with the next, stretching from the Cascade foothills of the Wenatchee National Forest through Washington’s Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan Counties and crossing the Canadian border into British Columbia’s Thompson Okanagan Region, then onward to Alaska.” It includes lively and informative text, images and links about communities and destinations in areas such as Wenatchee National Forest, Lake Chelan, Leavenworth, the Channeled Scablands, Moses Coulee, the Omak Stampede, historic Winthrop, the Methow Valley, Osoyoos Lake, the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre, Oliver wine country, Summerland, Kelowna, Kalamalka Lake, Vernon’s Sparkling Hill and

There is a special page with information about crossing the Canada-U.S. border, as well as a Service Directory with links to listings of RV Locations, Accommodations, Electric Car Charging Stations, and Visitor Information Centers. Launch of the new Discover Route 97 website coincides with start-up of a new ground transportation shuttle service in the South Okanagan. The South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce, along with partners in the South and Central Okanagan including TOTA and Air Canada, have announced the new daily scheduled shuttle service from Osoyoos to Kelowna International Airport (YLW) with 10 inter-community stops along the way. The service begins Mon., Aug. 11 and offers four round trips per day. The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) is a non-profit society governed by an elected Board of Directors who represent business and community tourism interests throughout the region. It is an industry-led organization that represents and supports all business and community tourism interests in the region, while also helping to implement provincial tourism policies. The North Central Washington Economic Development District (NCWEDD) is a federally designated economic development district for the region covering Okanogan, Douglas, and Chelan counties and the Colville Confederate Tribes.

OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE
Full circle answered why we’re there, what we were there for. It was hard if you asked that question you wouldn’t get a straight answer.� When his military commitment ended, he says, “I was let go and back on the streets.� He was able to get credit for partial disability, went back to school on the GI Bill and got a job working at a VA hospital. That was also when he discovered that playing music was more than just a love of the art to him - it was actually a healing agent of sorts. “I had to learn music,� he says. “As part of my disability, my hand wasn’t working good because I got blown up. I was in physical therapy, putting my hand in sand and hot wax to stimulate it. This guy said I needed to get it working or they’d need to remove a finger or two. I went down to PX and they had a guitar there. So that’s when I learned to play the guitar. “So I went down and got this $10 guitar, which was a good one for $10, and learned how to go through and work through the pain and get my hands working again. I just kept playing. If I played, my hand doesn’t freeze up. When I stop playing, arthritis sets in when I don’t play much. My hand and fingers will lock up.� As for his anger, he says, “I just got busy. “I used the GI Bill to live on, raise a family and get an education. (I was) still living with the ghosts. You were just thrown on the streets. There weren’t a lot of support groups. I just did it myself, like a lot of vets did.�
Nam vet returns to village where he fought, was wounded BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM
TONASKET - Talk about a stranger in a strange land. John Jones, along with his wife River and his Cambodian interpreter (and self-proclaimed body guard) arrived in Memae Village last spring. Near the Cambodia/ Viet Nam border, the area is so remote that the sight of the American couple in the village was enough to bring life to a standstill. Jones had been there once before - in 1969, when he was wounded during a fierce battle with the Viet Cong in the midst of the Viet Nam War. Just finding the village meant stopping and talking to people, many of them working pepper and rubber tree plantations. What the reception would be once they found the village was an open question. “We talked to a bunch of people,� Jones says. “We finally found this Khmer woman. She knew what we were looking for, exactly. “We pull up (in the village) and here’s the pagoda. I said, ‘Go there. The way to do (make contact) is through their religion.’ And by God, out walks the monk who was there during the battle and a Viet Cong soldier who was there during the battle. The first two people that I meet. “We sat there, they looked at me, big smiles on their faces. I felt very safe, I felt really good. It was just an amazing, meant-to-be moment.� So, what does one talk about with a man that you may well have been shooting at 45 years earlier? For one thing, the Joneses were invited into the pagoda and participated in a Buddhist prayer of reconciliation. “I sat down with the one Viet Cong soldier,� he says. “He got shot at the same time (I did). He’d been wounded. We were talking about our war wounds. “He was a nice guy, pretty simple. He wanted to know why we were there. I said, I was there because I wanted to know how he felt, what his feelings were about what happened. And he said, ‘Oh, I don’t think about that any more.’ I go, ‘Really? Wow.’ “Their whole thing is just to get busy. Kind of like what happened to me. They had to replant their crops, rebuild their homes and their schools. They needed to go on. They got back to work. I think that’s how they think. They don’t harbor the animosity... (The Buddhists) don’t want to carry the baggage because it affects their life.� He said it took some time to get the villagers to understand why he’d taken the time to visit; in the time since the Viet Nam War, no one else had. “They were stunned,� he says. “They said no one had ever come back there. They had wondered why. But people just don’t know about it. It hasn’t been shared. Cambodia was different than Viet Nam. People have done a lot of work in Viet Nam. Unfortunately at the time, Cambodia was going through their pains, but America was already done with Southeast Asia. They weren’t going to go back to help Cambodia.� One reason Jones wanted to see the village was that he’d feared

John Jones, right, shares his love of music with a Cambodian woman on his recent trip to visit the remote village where he once fought - and was severely wounded - during the Viet Nam War. what had become of the area in the wake of the war and, later, the atrocities inflicted on the Buddhists by Pol Pot (as depicted in the movie “The Killing Fields.â€?) “I just wanted to go the full circle,â€? Jones says. “I just had the feeling there was no life left. Boy, was I wrong. Very vibrant. Even though they went through all of what we put them through, that they put themselves through, that Pol Pot put them through, they are Buddhists. They believe in not carrying it on, and letting it go. That gave me a lot of faith.â€? That, despite the remote and impoverished life lived by the villagers. “There’s no cities even close,â€? Jones says. “It was like the poorest of poor in Cambodia. Kids wear the same clothes every day. One set of school clothes. Then they strip off everything to a pair of shorts, go barefoot. “We just spent the day there. We ate at a little sort of cafĂŠ. Very rudimentary. Mike (Stewart) can tell you, some of those places the hygiene isn’t the best, but you eat because they are eating and sharing. They bought the food for us. They were very hospitable. They would have put us up as long as we wanted to be there. They wouldn’t have charged us a penny.â€?
MEMORIES Jones’s previous visit to the village hadn’t ended well. Memae Village may have been remote, but it also was an area where the Viet Cong had set up headquarters. “They were dug in; we were at their home,� he says. “Being on tanks and tracks, they could hear us coming five miles away.� As Jones tells it, it was a case of being in the wrong place at the
wrong time. “We got caught in an L-shaped ambush,� he says. “They set it up and the tanks up front, the big boys got hit first... they hit them all. They knocked all the tanks out. “So we pulled up and went around the right hand side. My ‘60’ was red hot, firing. I’m seeing people pop up and down, right back down in the hole with RPGs. We get up just about to the front and I see the tanks all smoking and the medics trying to get to people while the battle is still going on. “I see a guy pop up with an RPG, so close I couldn’t swing to him fast enough. And it just came at me. It was like getting hit in the head with a baseball bat. It hit the shield in front of me. It took the brunt of it and sent off a billion pieces of shrapnel.� Jones took hits in the arm, shoulder and face, losing an eye. “A lot of small pieces of molten ... Pooosh ... coming at me, like Whoosh! I tell people it blasted me off the tank but what really happened was I went into shock. I crawled up and off the track and fell to the ground. “I don’t know why I did that, but I think it was because it was so hot. And I was on fire. So I just laid there. I couldn’t see. I went into shock.� Much of what happened after is a haze, though Jones said his sergeant, who was also wounded in the battle, filled in some of the details after both had been shipped to Okinawa for surgery. “I was taken and put on a track first,� Jones says. “During the
fighting they had to protect all the wounded. I remember hearing screams, gurgling and all sorts of weird stuff. Then I was put on a helicopter. I remember a little bit, somebody checking my nose to see if I was breathing. They took me to a MASH unit .... “I remember I was in this area because I could hear all these people. I heard them talking saying, ‘Take that one, (etc.)’ Priorities. It’s kind of a ghost world. “I remember going into surgery. Coming in and out. The surgeon saying, ‘You’ll be alright.’ Saying that to me, that stuck.�
THROWN INTO THE FRAY Jones was drafted in 1968, though unlike many of his compatriots, he says he didn’t think about not going, despite spending most of his formative years in the San Francisco Bay area, one of the epicenters of the anti-war movement. “I just thought it was something I was supposed to do,� he says. “I know a lot of other people weren’t doing that. I didn’t have that at that time of my life. I was still pretty conservative.� He originally intended to become a warrant officer and fly helicopters, even passed the test. “But when they told me I’d have to ‘Up’ (for six years), I said, ‘Oh, no, that’s not what I want.’ So I ended up going into Basic at Fort Lewis.� Jones ended up in the First Infantry Division - the Big Red One. “I was training in Fort Lewis, in the middle of winter - one
2
of the coldest winters on record at the time,� he says. “That was really great training for Viet Nam. When we landed it was like 105 degrees. The last stop we’d made was Anchorage. “So then I got in country. You go through that real short orientation and readjustment thing they do. Then I got put in the Second Mechanized Infantry, with tanks and tracks.� There wasn’t much time to get used to the new environs. “We’d head off on these missions, circle up (tanks and tracks) like the wagons used to, get in a big circle, butt to butt, point different directions,� Jones says. “Then they’d send out four people on observation points. That was my job as the new guy in country, you know. “I did a few overnights. I hated those. That’s where I learned not to sleep... You get pretty in touch with your inner self and your fears, especially ... “I grew up in a real protected area. There was no violence, no street gangs. It was just middle class America... Everything was peachy keen and then you get sent to the jungles of Viet Nam. It was like, AAAHHHH! Everybody’s trying to kill me! I have to take this serious!� Jones spent about three months total in Viet Nam. He still had more than nine months to serve after his injury, most of which he did as a cartoonist at the Sharp Army Depot, in Stockton, Calif. “I was starting to get pretty angry,� he says. “I never did get, like a lot of us, the question
A HELPING HAND Many people have headed back to the scene of their worst nightmares come true in order to help those from the other side. After all, many of the Viet Cong were caught in the same nightmare, not sure of what they were fighting for, other than for the lives of themselves and the guys beside them. One such man, Jones said, had invented a machine that he was using to detect and safely detonate unexploded land mines that had been killing and maiming innocent civilians decades after the conflict had ended. “He went over there to help, almost like a Peace Corps kind of thing,� Jones said. “He had this tech knowledge.... He’s got this machine with these chains and tires on the front of it, with these big long arms that go out. We talked to him and got to know him a little bit.� That contact paid off. Jones also met a former Cambodian soldier who had stepped on a mine while fighting Pol Pot. “He was telling me that the Cambodian soldiers get no help,� Jones said. “They have no VA. He gets nothing. He was working at this bungalow and they were getting rid of him because he was missing a limb. He couldn’t multi-task.� Jones made a video of the old soldier, and when meeting with the land mine detonator showed the video. “The guy who is building these land mine machines.... has an organization that helps people that have lost limbs,� Jones said. “So I was able to get them connected.� And if that isn’t reason enough to return to the scene of the nightmare once more, what is?

WATER | FROM A1 then we will talk again with the federal government about what they will pay,” said Noel. Noel also discussed the airport grant. “The documents have been signed, but we had to go back to have them reprinted because the FFA did not like the heading on them. Apparently the engineer had some title wrong and we had to have them redone and resigned by the mayor,” said Noel. Road Products Inc. of Spokane bid $89,323 to do the FAA financed project which will be make repairs to the runway, including crack sealing. The city is also receiving $5339 from the Washington State Aeronautics Airport Aid as a partial match on the project. About the Central and Cherry Street pavement overlay and waterline project, Noel said there was only one thing remaining on the “punch list” before it could be signed off on as completed. He said the city was waiting for the contractor do the Main Street crossing. He also said the state would be sending someone from the Department of Transportation to check the work that was done regarding the streets.
MOSQUITO DISTRICT Chris Branch, Director of Community Development, discussed the proposed Mosquito District, which would include several of the municipalities in the county, including Oroville, Tonasket, Riverside, Omak and Okanogan. “We had a public hearing scheduled with the commissioners to get it on the ballot. The fires caused the commissioners to cancel and reschedule for Aug. 26, so we won’t be able to get it on the general election ballot this year,” said Branch. He also said members of the committee had met with representatives from Grant County who encouraged them to do a more thorough assessment of what would be included in the district and what isn’t. He said that the Grant County district had found that some areas like alfalfa farms had been disregarded, even though they can be breeding grounds for the pests. “Rather than disease bearing mosquitos, at this point we are mostly concerned with nuisance mosquitos,” said Branch WATER SERVICE REQUEST After much discussion, a water service application from members of the DeVon family was

Ronnie DeVon and her brother Rocky approached the council with a request to hook on to the end of the water line at Gordon Robert’s property and bring city water up the OrovilleLoomis Road to the house she shares with Don Pickering. Like many of the wells in the area theirs has gone dry, most likely because the irrigation district has abandoned the ditch which used to help refresh area wells. City Superintendent Noel discussed the problems with allowing the request – he said he normally would make the final decision, but felt he should bring the request before council in this instance. Noel said Robert’s property was served by a very small line, which in turn was part of a 1948 vintage system of lines that serves properties on Summit Drive. Much of the pipe is on private property and the city does not have rights of way to service the line if something goes wrong with it. Noel said he felt the line could not adequately provide enough water because of its small size if another property was added on to it. Rocky DeVon assured the council that most of the properties served by the system had Oroville-Tonasket Irrigation District water to meet any needs outside of the house. “Everyone up there has O-T for other water it would only be used for domestic purposes inside the house,” said DeVon. “The city was not involved in any of the construction of that system which was originally done in 1948, but we have installed meters. It ran out of pressure and
the city installed a pump station about 30 years ago, now it is part of the main booster station,” said Noel. “It’s one of those things that evolved over time and pre-dates most of us here. As customers kept adding on there was never enough water pressure.” Noel recommended that the applicants get together with the other people on that part of the system and see what they can work out, but staff felt that adding on to the line as it was would not be wise for the city. “If the city was to update that line all the way to Deerpath then we would have to negotiate all those easements. It looks like a capital public works project and big dollars... it may be in the future if the city were to annex those properties,” said Naillon. Branch pointed out that the city already has substandard lines on the west side of the lake after it took over the North End Water Users system. “What makes it worse is we have a substandard system on the west side of the lake and on the east side because of the new line we are encouraging standardized construction when people hook up to the main line there,” said Branch. “What we do on Eastlake is when people have property they want to develop we encourage them to get together with others and develop a main line.” “I think they need to get together with the other parties,” said Councilman Tony Koepke, adding that he felt the city had to deny the request. After much discussion the council voted to turn down the application.

PRIMARY | FROM A1 The race for Okanogan County Coroner found David Rodriguez, Chief Criminal Deputy for the Okanogan County Sheriff ’s office the lead vote getter with 2,184 or 60.6 percent of the vote. He was way out ahead of the next highest candidate, Gary V. Reams with 1,021 votes, or 22.04 percent, but that’s enough to get him to the general election. Anthony Frey came in third with 797 votes. The Okanogan County County Assessors race had two candidates, incumbent Scott D. Furman, Democratic Party, and challenger, Les V. Stokes, Conservative Party. Furman garnered 3,062 ballots to Stoke’s 2,044. Both candidates will con-

tinue on to the general election in November.
BUSINESS AS USUAL The rest of county government will remain much the same with several incumbents running unchallenged this go around. These include Jim Detro, Commissioner Position 3; Karl F. Sloan, Prosecuting Attorney; Frank Rogers, Sheriff; Laurie Thomas, Auditor; Charleen Groomes, Clerk and Leah McCormack, Treasurer. Okanogan County voters’ choice for Seventh District State Legislative office also carried few surprises. The county preferred incumbent state Senator Brian
Dansel over fellow Republican Tony Booth by nearly 1000 votes. They also prefer incumbent Position 1 Representative Shelly Short, a Republican, to Libertarian James R. Apker, by over 1800 votes. Incumbent Position 2 Representative Joel Kretz, a Republican from Wauconda, continues to be the county favorite, by over 2000 votes. Each will face each other in the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 4. The next ballot count was scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 13 at 5 p.m. at the Okanogan County Auditor’s office. The ballot is set to be certified on Tuesday, Aug. 19.

THE TOWN CRIER What if you held an election and nobody ran? I’m sorry, I just couldn’t get very excited about the recent primary election – what’s that you say there was an election? Yep, and in Okanogan County it’s business as usual as most of our county offices that were up for election didn’t even get contested. And those that did, well the incumbent usually came out on top. This in now way reflects on how I feel about any of the current candidates, but darn it, I at least want a choice between Brand A and Brand B. Our biggest battle was for Okanogan County PUD Commissioner Position 1 – a four way shoot-out between David Womack and three upstarts who wanted to unseat him. It looks like he’s in it for the general in November and up against Scott Vejraska, another well known name in county politics. That race at least gave us something to think about. Of course we also had a three-way fight for the newly created position of Coroner, so there was no incumbent. Chief Criminal Deputy Out of David Rodriguez came out on top and gets to face off against Gary V. Reams. So we can My Mind to get to know the candidates prior to Gary A. DeVon continue November and are not just faced with a onename ticket. Our friend Scott Furman, the current assessor, faced Les V. Stokes in the primary. Furman was top vote-getter – he will face Stokes in the general, something we knew before casting our primary votes. But at least there’s someone out there pushing Scott to do his best to keep his position. Like the candidate or not, everyone should have someone nipping at their backsides to keep the election interesting. As we write in the front page election story there were not any surprises for the state legislature either, at least as far as Okanogan County goes. We as a county like our two representatives, Joel Kretz, a local man, and Shelly Short. Brian Dansel in Republic isn’t local, but like Short, might as well be. They each had a challenger which is a good thing – keeps them on their toes. They blew the would-be legislators away in the primary, but anything can happen between now and November. As far as Jim DeTro, Frank Rogers, Charleen Groomes, Laurie Thomas and Leah McCormack at the County Courthouse and Granger Building, wouldn’t you rather have someone trying to fill your positions? Of course you wouldn’t, but it does make for a more interesting race. However, even when you have someone running against you it doesn’t always guarantee civic duty bliss. We’ve had recent city elections where the challengers seemed to go into hiding as soon as they announced. Many of them didn’t even bother to show up at council meetings to see how things were done. I’m guessing that might not be the case when the next batch of school board members go up for a vote. Anyway lets hope things heat up for the general election and we get to enjoy the democratic process the way it was meant to be. Let the mud slinging begin. Like the little girl in this year’s Best of Fest from last year’s Tumbleweed Film Festival said, “I’m kidding.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Car Dealer helping fire victims Dear Editor, I bought a car from Choice used cars in Okanogan last month so I stopped by a few days ago to see if my new plates were in yet. They weren’t but while I was there, a bunch of the sales force went out to take a picture with a young man and his new/used car. Nothing unusual in that. A couple of them got a pic with me she I got my car, too. But there seemed to be some emotion in this one so I asked what was going on. I was told that this young man had lost everything in one of the fires, had no insurance, and was trying to go to college. Choice’s employees decided they could help. They’ve been putting $200 per car sale into a “fire” kitty and when they hear about someone who needs help, they GIVE them a car! They’ve apparently already given away several cars! I asked if the papers were aware of what they are doing and the humble response was no, they’re just doing it for themselves! Charlie, the former Marine who helped me buy my rig, said he’s a little more well situated than most so he’s putting in an additional $200 of his own! Please don’t abuse these guys’ generosity by bombarding them with requests. But I wanted to acknowledge another shining example of how our community comes together to help when the
The Oroville Gazette
75 Years Ago August 4 - 11, 1939: Thursday, July 27th, was the hottest day at Oroville so far this season, When the reading a the government station on the east side of Lake Osoyoos at the E. R. Conover home, reached a maximum of 104 degrees. Maximum readings taken at 4 p.m. every day at the Oroville station for the past week are as follows: July 28, 100.2; July 29, 98.5; July 30, 96.8; July 31, 78.2; Aug. 1, 89.4; Aug. 2, 94.2 and Aug. 3, 91.2. Okanogan County was selected some time ago as a “demonstration” area for a range building program of erosion control and improved land use. Under the water facilities plan, Okanogan County farmers and ranchers now may apply for loans through the Farm Security Administration to finance spring and other stock water improvements, small irrigation facilities and similar water developments needed to put their operating units on a sounder economic basis. This county is one of a dozen other counties in the State of Washington. According to announcement made by the management, there will be a dance at the Lost Lake Pavilion this Saturday night. The Local Grange Jitter Bug Dance Band will furnish the music. People are invited to come to the lake, spend the weekend and take in the dance while there. Forest, brush and grain fires this year reflect the lack of moisture. Showers in May and June were a blessing, but their effect is now gone. The lack of precipitation, the steady wind and recent hot spell are now at their peak. An old landslide, which did considerable property damage but in which no one was injured, occurred at Oroville on Monday noon, when a section of earth in the Art Gjerde orchard, about a half mile south of town on Highway 10 (now County Road 7) pushed out a section of the oiled highway and spread over a low piece of ground along the river. The Oroville Canning Company will start the local cannery today fir a short run. The company has a large acreage under contract and should all conditions prove favorable, will pack out the largest pack in their history. The Oroville tomatoes are famous for their flavor and quality.

Preventing the next Gaza-Israel War Dear Editor, There have now been three wars between Gaza and Israel in the past six years. If nothing is done to stop the protagonist - the Islamic resistance army more commonly known as Hamas - then the only certain future for the area is that there will be another war in the not too distant future. While many world leaders recognize the necessity of eliminating Hamas - both for the benefit of Israel and for the Palestinian civilians who suffer negatively both directly and indirectly from the decisions made by Hamas - few have the foresight or vision as to how to accomplish this task. The Palestinian Authority does not have the will or the capability to eradicate Hamas. The Arabs cannot be trusted to do it - with the possible exception of Egypt, which has been destroying terror tunnels in Gaza, enforces the necessary blockade to stop terror supplies reaching Hamas, and has thwarted an

50 Years Ago: August 6 - 13, 1964: The Okanogan County Historical Society’s first historic sites marker was dedicated Sunday at the remnants of the Hee-Hee Stone near Chesaw. The group attending the unveiling of a large routed sign, which outlines the Hee-Hee Stone legend, included George Nanamkin, representing the Colville Confederated Tribes and Mrs. Lew Pickering of Chesaw, representing old-timers in the Molson-Chesaw area. Mrs. Pickering has lived in the area since 1900. Robert Drummond, Superintendent of the Oroville Schools, announced last week that all vacancies in the teaching staff have been filled. Some kind of record is believed to have been set in that three teachers, who taught previously in the Oroville School District, are returning to teach in Oroville again. They are: Beverly Pearson, DeeLoris Sylvester and Grace Manor. New teachers are: Virginia Byers, 2nd grade; Neoma Vandiver, 3rd grade; Thomas Degenhardt, high school English and high school Speech and English. Workmen from the Sceva Steel Co. of Spokane began last week to build the new building for Prince & Son’s IGA Store on the corner of Central and Ironwood. Designed to be the largest one stop shopping center in the “Sunny Okanogan Country,” it doubles the floor space of the current building. Postmaster of the Tonasket Post Office, Chelsa D. Williams received word that during the period to Aug. 27, 1964, bids will be solicited, through open advertisement, for new construction on a site furnished by the bidder, or for existing buildings to be suitably for postal purposes. Lake Osoyoos State Park this year is witnessing its biggest season since being developed. After a slow start due to necessary improvements, the park is now overflowing each nigh in the week.
Islamic suicide bomber terror attack and rocket attacks aimed at Israeli civilians in the past month. Israel has the capability to get rid of Hamas, but the world accuses Israel of being too brutal in doing it. The western countries that could do it know full well that if they were to do it that they would behave as ‘brutally’ as they accuse Israel of in the face of Islamic terrorists using civilian human shields, and they would have to come to terms with their hypocritical stance towards Israel. Western countries also have no appetite to fight any Islamic terrorist group - especially one playing hostage to a civilian population. While it is, sadly, abundantly clear that the world is not actually prepared to do what is needed to stop the conflict reoccurring, the western world does have some control. Funds given to the Palestinians should be strictly controlled - it is irresponsible (if not downright murderous) to continue to look the other way while the Palestinian terrorists get rich, spare no expense on buying rockets and invest millions in terror tunnels. Without funds the terror trade of Hamas will die, even though the ideology of course will not. Perhaps this is the best solution that the western would is prepared to fathom for now.

One of the first questions asked was, why, after expressing such a positive interest, did the Liu family withdraw from the project?

OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE Give those fire bombers some room on the lake Another week of hot days has brought us to the middle of the month. Past records show that the fire season begins this month… so, what have we been having? This has been a bad season, already, with so many folks losing their homes. The latter part of last week kept the lake rippling with the going and coming of BIG airplanes, dipping up water to use as retardants on the nearby fires. Swimmers and boaters are foolishly staying in the areas where the planes come and go which could lead to an accident. As I glanced out a window and saw a moving object, I thought what a large dog and on closer investigating it was not a dog, but a deer right in the middle of 21st Ave.

TONASKET - Fasten your seatbelts: you’re in for a fun and exciting time at the Annual Tonasket Summer Festival, on August 22-23. You say you’ve never heard of the Summer Festival? How about the Garlic Festival? It is the same great event with a new title. Organizers at the Community Cultural Center of Tonasket, sponsors of the long running event, have chosen to change the name to reflect the expanded nature of the festival. Over the years the festival has evolved to celebrate all the produce of our local growers, not just garlic. Artists, musicians, great food, games, beer and wine add to the experience. The fun kicks off In History Park, located on the bank of the Okanogan River, on Friday, Aug. 22 at noon and continues until 7:00 p.m., with Saturday’s activities running from 10:00 a.m.7:00p.m. Plan on attending this family-friendly event both days, as the music and entertainment varies each day, and admission is free for all. Entertainers will include Steve Kinzie, John Phillips, Steve Pollard, Sandy Vaughn, Julie Ashmore, Harvey Swanson, Ruby Rust, Chuck Oakes, Deb Vester, Don Elliott, Kyle McConnell, Sunny Lanigan and Craig “Fish”

Come celebrate the summer harvest! After several weeks hiatus from Tonasket, including a trip to the coast, where 70 degree temperatures felt downright cold to a body acclimated to triple digit heat, a surprise awaited me at Tonasket Farmers’ Market. The bounty of fresh, ripe fruits and vegetables is finally here. The culmination of a family farmers hard work; the tilling, the planting, the watering, waiting, weeding and praying has finally paid off and we, the customers, are the beneficiaries of this bounty.

They also have both green and purple kohlrabi, an under appreCohoe. Bring your appetite along to indulge in a tasty array of local dishes available for purchase.

WSU Upward Bound-North provides job shadow at NVH SUBMITTED BY DESIRAE COE AND STASSIA FELTES UPWARD BOUND ACADEMIC COORDINATORS
TONASKET - Washington State University Upward BoundNorth piloted its Job Shadow Program at North Valley Hospital last May. One of the primary goals of the WSU Upward Bound program is to expose students to career opportunities that will enable them to make strong decisions about their career and college path. WSU Upward Bound-North placed a mix of 10 Oroville and Tonasket High School students interested in the medical field within departments of North Valley Hospital related
to their specific career interest. The students were chosen for the pilot program as a result of their participation in an earlier online Career Survey conducted by WSU Upward Bound Coordinators Desirae Coe and Stassia Feltes and their completion of a Job Shadow Program Packet. Students shadowed professionals for up to eight hours over two days, observing and inquiring about the details of their profession. The students reflected on the value of this unique opportunity to gain direct insight into the career path they have selected. Nearly all the students agree they will continue to pursue their chosen career path and have a renewed motivation to set goals
and continue to develop the path they are on. WSU Upward Bound-North appreciates the time and effort of North Valley Hospital staff that helped make the first Job Shadow Program a success. A special thank you to Human Resources Assistant Diane Anderson and Director of Ancillary Services Noreen Olma for their coordination and groundwork, allowing for a smooth program and outstanding experience for the students. Upward Bound is a federal TRiO program, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, under Title 34, Part 645 of the Higher Education Act, in the amount of $250,000 per year for a period of five years.

HILLTOP REALTY
HELPFUL HINTS TO SELL YOUR HOME 1. Fix what needs fixed! Finish all unfinished projects: Example - Patch holes, fix leaky sinks and toilets, etc... 2. Useable space is a key factor: Example - Make a junk room into an office. 3. Declutter! Put everything away and ready to move: Example - Family photos, knickknacks, etc... 4. Paint! It is amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do. Make it a soft, neutral color. 5. Open your rooms up! You want everything to look bigger! If you have too much furniture in a room, decide which pieces to keep and find a place to store the rest. Arrange the remaining furniture to make the room look larger. 6. CLEAN! CLEAN! CLEAN! Make everything sparkle!

OKANOGAN VALLEY GAZETTE-TRIBUNE | AUGUST 14, 2014
OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE
The Salmon People at Depot Museum BY GARY A. DE VON MANAGING EDITOR
OROVILLE - The Salmon People, Stories Tell the Past, the summer-long exhibit at the Oroville Depot Museum continues through mid-September. The exhibit, presented by the Borderlands Historical Society, is an attempt to tell the story of the Okanagan Indian Tribe, the indigenous people who called this part of the valley home. “Every year we’re going to try and do something different at the museum, this year we are doing the Okanagan Indians,” said Arnie Marchand, a local author and wealth of knowledge on the Okanagans. He and others have participated in a series of talks that took place at the museum to share their knowledge on these native peoples. “We had a strong committee of people to help us put together the exhibit,” said Marchand. “I told the historical society board this can’t be the ‘Arnie Marchand’ show.” There were five women on the committee, along with two men. “Those five women along with a couple of guys did the whole display,” he said. “I think they did a pretty good job. We also had help from the grade school and the seventh and eighth grades.” This help can be seen in many of the illustrations and drawings, as well as the reeds that were gathered to build the representation of a traditional pit house. “Last year the fourth graders picked the tules, they learned how to collect them and sew them together. They also learned how the hole was dug. The uprights were put in and then they laid in the mats. These mats could be three to four feet deep,” said Marchand. From pit houses then we moved to tule mat lodges, you could add more mats and insulate to last all winter. Lodges like the size of this building (the Depot) could house five families or serve as a meeting house.” Marchand said the pit house era predates the early 17th century, according to some very old Indian women that were interviewed after World War I. “One reason was because they became more mobile because of the horse... they weren’t nomadic, but were able to move to the fishing,” he said. The Oroville area was called Salti’lxu’ - “Heaping Stone House,” according to Marchand. He said it got its name because across the river there was a struc-

ture that was hundreds of feet long constructed of “rock, clay, rock.” “The walls were two feet thick... it was crumbling after the turn of the last century and then the railroad ran right through it. In its time it was a pretty substantial fortress that could protect the people for a lot of the year,” he said. “The structure protected the people against the Blackfeet and
Shuswap – traditional enemies that couldn’t sneak up on us.” Heaping Stone House had a door on the west end and window like openings on two sides. “We called them openings, it’s ironic we didn’t have words for door or window.” Marchand said the Okanagans’ main town was about 1.5 miles south of where Oroville is today where the Similkameen hits the
Okanogan. He says to the west of that there was a pit house site where hundreds of Okanagans live. He also talked about other nearby areas where his people lived. “By the time the white people got her most of the Indians were gone. Many went to the head of Lake Okanagan. The Nk’Mips went to the other end of Osoyoos Lake and stayed,” he said.
Marchand said there were many reasons the tribe moved, but one was because of 1782 small pox outbreak that killed many people. Since this was a major fishery among the Okanagan, they continued to return to the area for the next 200 years to fish. Okanagan Falls is another major fishery, he said. Marchand is the author of The
Way I Heard It: A Three Nation Reading Vacation, now in its second printing. The Depot Museum and Visitor Information Center is open 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The special “The Salmon People: Stories Tell the Past” exhibit will be featured through Sept. 13. Special tours can be arranged by contacting the museum at 509-476-2739.

BIG CATCH
Submitted by Gene Bussell
Prater Brookover from East Wenatchee caught this nice 1.5 pound 15 inch rainbow while fishing off of the end of the dock at Liarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cove. Sunday he also caught his limit while fishing off of a pontoon boat over by the dam. One of his rainbows was about the size of this one. Gene Bussell said most of his customers are fishing off of boat using worms or powerbait. Charlie Wines went up the upper Conconully Lake and caught his limit using night crawlers.
Violet May (Dorrel) Utt, 87, of Riverside passed away August 5, 2014. Violet was born on February 13, 1927 to Orel Everett Dorrel and Nellie Alanta (Woods) Dorrel in Tonasket, Washington. Violet was raised in the Tonasket area and graduated from Tonasket High School in 1945. She married Melvin Adrian Utt on May 19, 1945 in Okanogan, Washington and moved onto the family ranch in the Limebelt area west of Riverside, Wash. Daughter, Barbara Ann, was born in 1949. In 1955, they moved to Riverside so Barbara could start school. They built a home north of Riverside, and son, James Melvin, was born in 1960. Violet worked in the apple warehouses for over thirty years and at an Auto Supply store for eight years before retiring to help work on the ranch. Violet was an active member with the Okanogan County Cattlewomenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and was their President in 1991. She was State Cattlewomenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s President in 1995 and Regional V Director for National Cattlewomenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in 1997 and 1998. She was voted Okanogan County Cattlewoman of the Year in 1999. Violet was also active in the Okanogan County Historical Society and volunteered at the Okanogan County Museum. She enjoyed working in genealogy and was the author of several books on family history and assisted with local area books on Pine Creek and Tunk Creek history over the years. In her spare time she baked pies, cakes, and cookies for Melvinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet tooth. She also
did a lot of canning of fruit and vegetables from their garden. She enjoyed quilting, and for Christmas 2013 she made quilts for both of her children and her three grandchildren. She loved to travel and attended several National Conventions for National Cattlemen and Cattlewomenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Associations all over the country. She made several trips to meet distant relatives and continue her genealogy research. Melvin and Violet also took two cruises to Alaska. In May 2014, Melvin and Violet celebrated their 69th Wedding Anniversary. Violet is survived by her husband Melvin, daughter, Barbara (Paul) Estep, son, James (Lorraine) Utt of Riverside, granddaughters Melissa (Dave) Watkins, Spokane, Jessica and Jamie Utt of Riverside, and great grandchildren, Adrian, Elisha, and Jacy Watkins of Spokane.
