Oroville updated on airport, street and water projects City Council denies tax refund request by housing authority BY GARY A. DE VON MANAGING EDITOR

OROVILLE – Oroville continues to move toward closing out recent water and street projects and looks ahead toward the upcoming airport project. Rod Noel, superintendent for Public Works gave a report on several projects that have taken place or will begin soon. “The grant offer has been received and Ed Naillon we have our notice of award,” said Noel, regarding an airport project funded through the FAA and state Department of Transportation-Aeronautics Division. The Federal Aviation Administration financed most of the $89,323 for project which will make repairs to the runway, including crack sealing. The city is also receiving $5339 from the state as a partial match on the project. Road Products, Inc. of Spokane was awarded the bid to do the work. “The contract is all ready to be signed,” said Noel, adding that work needs to get going before it starts to get cold. Councilman Ed Naillon made a motion to approve the mayor signing the contract. The motion was seconded by Councilman Walt Hart and passed unanimously.

Hundreds of rubber duckies - 493, according to the official count - are dumped from the Fourth Street Bridge as part of a fundraiser for the Tonasket City Swimming Pool project on Saturday, Aug. 23. The “race” ended at the boat ramp on the south end of Chief Tonasket Park, where the ducks were scooped out of the river after crossing the finish line. Inset, the ducks take flight.

Duck race nets nearly $2,500 BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - It’s just a drop of water in a very big pool, but it all helps. The Tonasket Pool Committee’s rubber duck race - a fundraiser for the Tonasket swimming pool project that likely will cost around $2 million - brought in $2,465. The race, on Saturday, Aug. 23, featured 493 ducks that were purchased by project supports. They were dumped off the Fourth Street Bridge into the Okanogan River and “raced” to the boat launch at the south end of Chief Tonasket Park, where they were scooped out of the water by a legion of volunteers. The big winner was KK Young of Shelton, who claimed both first and third prizes (donating her winnings back to the pool). Dave Mitchell of Tonasket owned the second-place duck. “(It) won’t build our new swimming pool,” said organizer Karen Stangland. “But I hope it will continue to promote our cause. We are serious about building a new pool for the community. Now that summer is ending, we can’t forget about the pool.” Confluence Health (formerly North Valley Family Medicine) has also donated $1,500, and the Tonasket Garden Club voted to donate $500. “We have been receiving donations and pledges,” Stangland said. “We thank all of those contributors. Now, we’re asking the rest of you to step up and make donations and pledges.” She pointed out that the donations, even small ones, are key,

Main to Cherry and Cherry from Central to the Cherry Street Bridge. He said that everything passed inspection, but due to a change order for asphalt, the project’s price increased by $12,795, $10,094, if the federal government contributes to the project’s cost. The city will go to the county to use funds shared by the county and city for transportation projects. “They approved us as long as it does not exceed $15,000,” said Noel. The Central and Cherry Streets Project also included replacing water lines under a portion of where the street was to be repaired. The cost of that portion was financed by the city and went over by $3600 due to a couple of change orders, said Noel. The pavement where the water line connected on main street still needs to be redone before the paving contractor’s contract can be completely closed out, according to Noel. “We’re still holding fire on the Main Street repair,” he said. The next grant the city would like to obtain would be one to rebuild 16th street from Main Street to Cherry, including the sidewalk on one side of the street, according to Noel. The city will be looking at potential funding sources. He estimated the cost of at around $700,000 with the city’s share being around $35,000. “The Pavement Preservation Program is not being funded and the Arterial Street grant requires a five percent match,” said Noel, correcting information he gave at the previous council meeting. On the subject of water, the city refused to refund fees associated with a home on Westlake Road that had high water use in June. “The homeowner asked for $350 in relief, the excess amount was $251,” said JoAnn Denney, who was filling in for city clerk Kathy Jones. “To my knowledge we have never given relief; we have worked with people

Noel said the home is used for vacations and is often unoccupied. He added that there have been several incidents of frozen pipes in the winter.

TAX REFUND DENIED After very little discussion, the mayor asked the council if they wanted to vote on a request from the Oroville Housing Authority for a refund of approximately $9000 in utility taxes the OHA says it was not obligated by state law to pay. Councilman Hart made a motion to deny the refund and it was seconded by Councilwoman Neysa Roley and passed unanimously.

Long term commitment Effie Lea Wilson, Jennie Luhn honored for decades of music at nursing home BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - Effie Lea Wilson found it impossible to say “no” to the sisters of the Spokane Dominican Order that at one time ran the Tonasket Nursing home. Fifty years later, with the Sisters long gone and the nursing home known as North Valley Extended Care, she’s still saying “Yes,” and has brought others along for the ride. Wilson was honored on Wednesday, Aug. 20, for the 50 years she has spent providing music and entertainment for the nursing home residents (as well as for her birthday). Jennie Luhn, one-time administrator of the nursing home, also received recognition for her 40 years serving alongside Wilson as her pianist. These days, Wilson, Luhn, Bud McSpadden and a host of others put on monthly singalongs / birthday parties for the Extended Care residents. After a half century, they show no signs of slowing down. “Nora Kirchner had been coming down whenever the Catholic Sisters wanted her to,” Wilson said. “I did some of that. When Nora wasn’t able to do it any more, Lois Pratt called me up and she said, ‘We’re having a guild meeting that night and the Sisters are serving lemon pie.’ I said I didn’t belong to the guild, and she said, ‘Well yes you do now because when you agreed to do these parties you joined the guild.’ “From then on, the sister would call on a Saturday morning or afternoon and say, (in her German accent), ‘Mrs. Wilson, wouldn’t it be nice if we have

party on Monday afternoon? You can give us entertainment.’ “I would start saying, but Sister, I work at the apple shed - and she’d say ‘See you’ and hang up. She didn’t realize that other people have a life.” The Sisters pulled out of town about 10 years later; Jennie Luhn became the director once the nursing home became part of the newly-formed hospital district. “That’s how I fell into it,” Luhn said. “I was the only one who played the piano. At the time the state was ... getting demanding

about providing activities. In the old days they didn’t have activities in the nursing home. “We did this, and we started a little church service. We developed the activities program by ear; we didn’t have money to do much.” “I didn’t have a pianist at the time,” Wilson said. “I just did things a capella and used a pianist whenever I could find one. Jennie started coming and singing, or playing the hymns for us and would stay as long as she could before she had to go back to her office.

“Jennie and I have been together for a long time. We used to a lot of funerals, and did programs for the Kiwanis and the Grange. We didn’t practice or anything. We just talked about it on the telephone, went and did it.” Bud McSpadden - who has frequently accompanied the ladies on his guitar for the past 25 years and arranged Wednesday’s celebration - often brightens things up with his off-beat antics. That included dressing up as the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion of Wizard of Oz fame while belting

out “If I Only Had a Brain,” to the residents’ delight. Wilson said the first time he did something “outlandish” she hadn’t been expecting it. Now, it’s just part of what everyone anticipates as part of the show. “Since that first time,” she said, “I’ve gotten used to Bud and his antics.” “But I haven’t gotten them in trouble,” McSpadden said. “Like the time Effie Lea had belly dancers come and just about got us all run out of town.” Others that frequently take part in the “show” include Gloria Jones, Betty Holmes, Brock Hires and others. “It all just goes together,” Wilson said when asked about favorite memories. “Getting kids like Brock started, I enjoy that. He was like two years old the first time he played, with a homemade

guitar his grandpa had carved for him. He was playing in their orchestra. I remember the first time someone asked for his autograph; he didn’t know what to do.” Luhn said she looks up to her longtime friend. “She knows all the old songs from the First World War,” she said. “It’s amazing what she has in her collection; plus she remembers poetry. She’s had a lot of tragedies in her life but she’s a very optimistic and positive person. It’s been an inspiration to be her friend for this many years. She’s a great example.” Though both are in their early 80s and have been around longer than many of the residents, neither has any plans to stop singing and serving. Said Effie Lea Wilson: “You get started; you can’t stop, can you?”

THE TOWN CRIER It’s all happening at the fair This week you’ll see we’ve included our annual special section celebrating the Okanogan County Fair and some of our local kids who participate by exhibiting their animals. While in the past I’ve had a chance to Out of write about My Mind g o a t s , Gary A. DeVon cows, pigs and horses – this year, like last, I seem to find chickens to be the chosen breed, at least in Oroville and it looks like I could have got in on some of those farm fresh eggs. Although I grew up in Oroville, I was never a farm kid and missed out on participating from that end of things. When I look at how much these kids enjoy what they’re doing, despite how much hard work and dedication it takes to raise, and train, a chicken, let alone a hog or a horse, I truly think I did miss out. However, w i t h chicken coops in town, it looks like my brothers and I could have raised our own animals – from what I know of my dad and his opinions of chickens, though, we might have had

to stick to something else, like rabbits. I think he got enough of chickens when he was a kid. Fair time in Okanogan County is a special time – I’ve great memories of attending the fair, although Oroville didn’t get out of school like Tonasket does. As a kid it seems like I’d usually catch a ride down with a family that was more farm orientated. There is so much to see and do – it’s like the whole county comes together for those few days and forms a family. Even with some fierce competition for ribbons going on between towns. Fair time is one of the few times we see people from all the towns – Oroville, Tonasket, Omak, Okanogan, Pateros, Brewster, Coulee Dam, Winthrop and Twisp – well you get the idea - those places and everything in between, coming together for a truly county event. We need to encourage our county commissioners to continue their support of our fair as it truly has something for everyone and shows that we can be one county. The G-T invites you to look o v e r o u r special section and read about the kids who h a v e put in all the hard work, as well as the schedule of events and our story on what’s new at your county fair.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Time can be compressed Dear Gary, About last week. Air is invisible – like time. We watch time blow by like the wind. We can’t see it, but we can feel it. Take 24 ounces of air and compress it into 16 ounces of air. Same amount of air in a smaller space. The same is possible with time. It can be

compressed from 24 hours to 16 hours – 24 old hours into 16 new hours. It’s still 24 hours and we wouldn’t notice the difference – except for our inner clock. We wouldn’t talk like chipmunks or walk like quail. Time is relative. God is mysterious. And all powerful. Almost everyone has noticed time flying by, even kids. I’ve asked some I don’t know. Revelations 8:12 has always stumped me. Then a light came on, or off if you will. It’s

a simple math equation. One-third of a day is eight hours. It’s been “smitten” or “struck” out of existence. Mark 13:20 seems to agree. To the scoffers and skeptics out there, I’m not saying I’m right. It’s a theory. Call me nutty, looney, loco, whatever. Just please don’t call me anything hateful. And sorry to the folks whyo don’t like my name for G.W.B. He should have been nicknames Dupeya. So many people were fooled. Many still are. Why? A lot of people can’t admit they were wrong. It’s not in their nature. Maybe they feel they would belittle themselves. Show weakness. Embarrassment. Admitting your mistakes is one of the most important things a good soul can do. It’s not weak or embarrassing or belittling. It’s a weight off your back. A relief. A pleasure. When a hear grows cold and the mind turns to stone, it shows the true character of the bearer of those two most feeling, reasoning, responsive organs in the human frame. Be true to yourself. It may just help in the upcoming selection. Back to back, Dan Dixon Oroville

The Oroville Gazette,

75 Years Ago: August 18 - 25, 1939: Fire conditions are now extremely hazardous, according to Mr. Huff, Supervisor of the Colville National Forest. He appeals to the public to take precautionary to prevent forest fires. He states that defective exhaust on automobiles, un-extinguished matches or cigarettes carelessly thrown away and un-extinguished campfires which have figured in many of the recent fires. Progress made by western farmers in bringing modern equipment to rural communities. Included among the advances made possible by farm electrification are the walk in refrigerators now being installed in many local farms, as well as the poultry lighting projects. According to L. A. Gillespie, one of the owners of the Osoyoos Theater (in Oroville), complete new air conditioning system is now being installed. It is expected to be ready for operation by Sept. 1 and when completed will be the best air cooling system north of Wenatchee. The Okanogan County Fair, which will be held at the county fair grounds in Oroville on Sept. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, will be one of the most interesting ever according to reports made by the committees. The old time parade, which will be held through the streets of Oroville, Sunday and Monday afternoons with cowboys, cowgirls, old time stages, pack horses, miners and Indians in full dress. The huge grandstand, with a seating capacity of several thousand people, has one of the most beautiful settings of any fairgrounds in the west. Facing Lake Osoyoos with a background of mountains, a fast three-eighths mile race track in full view. The home stretch passing directly in front of the grandstand with the rodeo grounds within the circle of the track. NOTE: (This is the present location of the Oroville Veterans Memorial Park). A raging forest and grass fire swept a path from one to two miles wide and ten miles long across Palmer Mountain on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of this week and is sill burning, although more or less under control.

25 Years Ago: August 17 -31, 1989: George Mathes, long time Tonasket resident, is shown in front of his Fruit Stand north of Tonasket on Highway 97. The Mathes run the stand on the honor system, as the sign often says “Put money in the jar and make your own change.” A sign of the times. A fire in the Whitestone Lake area was declared 100 percent contained as of last Tuesday morning. The fire burned a total of 150 acres and required over 50 men and fire retardant aircraft to bring it under control. The Tonasket Airport has undergone a transformation from what councilman Tom Fancher described as a one-time cattle trail to a viable airport. The airport, which has been closed for about five years, began its improvement through the aid of the Washington State Department of Transportation-Aeronautics Division. Oroville’s own Steve Blackler took a gold medal in the water skiing events of last weekend’s Washington State Summer Centennial games held in Spokane. Blackler, who was one of only 16 skiers in the state to classify for the Class III Waterskiing Division, beat out the large field to bring home the gold. Bill Nicholson, of Oroville, was instrumental in organizing the only event in the recent Centennial Games to include participants that live outside of Washington. That event being an amputee soccer tournament that included three teams of one-legged soccer players from Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, Canada.

OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE Time for some fresh peaches Now that we’re back down to two digit numbers in our temperature readings, maybe we’ll get a little more energy… maybe. Once again we have condolences to send out. What started out as fun times for Fred Cook ended in tragedy, last weekend, with the one car accident that took his life. He was well known in both the Tonasket and Oroville areas, as the “pump fixer” and other irrigation needs. Also Geneva Reeder, well known in both communities will be missed by many friends, has passed away. A Memorial for Velma (Colbert) Hill will be held at the Assembly of God

Church, Saturday, Sept. 6, 11 a.m. The report on Mark Gordon is, that he is improving, after being cared for in Sacred Heart Hospital, with one of the last steps, being his receiving a pacemaker. He is now home, infections are less and now the healing process will take over. Some members of the Ken Ripley family enjoyed last week at their getaway home at Lost Lake. Lots of memories are made as they continue the tradition that was started by Alden and Gertrude Sawtells, Judy’s parents. Lunch was served at the Red Lion Inn, Wenatchee, recently, for members

of classes of ’42 thru ’44, with Clyde and Everett Green, Al and Mary Alice Robinson, Richard Henneman and his friend, Ruth, and Clayton and Boots Emry attending. Just so you don’t have to do the math, these folks graduated over 70 years ago. Marlene Dietrich said, “Careful grooming may take 20 years off your age, but you can’t fool a long flight of stairs! There will be another pancake breakfast at the Oroville Senior Center, Saturday, Sept. 13, with serving starting at 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. All of us should take a lesson from the

EMTs and Child Passenger Safety Technicians, Jackie Daniels and Theresa Remsberg from AeroMethow, checked to see that car seats had not expired, been recalled, had no broken parts and were installed properly. This service is free to members of the community. For information call Jackie Daniels at 509-560-3589 if you are interested in having your child’s car seat checked. There is nothing as precious as keeping our children safe when in an automobile.

Hot August Nights and Quilt Show SUBMITTED BY MARIANNE KNIGHT HIGHLANDS CORRESPONDENT

It was a busy week for some of us on our Hilltop this past week. The Highland Hooters met at the Boneparte Café for lunch. The day was beautiful and there were 18 Red Hat Ladies around the big table. We all had a great visit with others and of course a good lunch. That was Monday. On Tuesday several of the ladies from the Chesaw Community Bible Church met and learned something about Sour Dough Bread Making and each of us went home with a “Starter”. A good lesson learned in transporting the starter. Do NOT add the new flour and water and shake to mix and then put it in your warm car and leave for a couple of hours. I know, don’t -- we are still scraping dough from in the back seat. Wednesday was another busy morning as we had our second lesson in China Painting a Coffee Mug. Besides learning how, we are having a good time, we are getting to know each other a bit more. This Coming Weekend will be a very busy time on our Hilltop with the Quilt Show in Molson on Saturday, Aug 30, from 9 a.m.

BLUE STAR MOTHERS daughter Abi. Bud will discharge from the Army in two weeks - on Sept 11 - and will be moving back to his hometown of Chesaw. Bud plans to further his education via the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act (often referred to as the ìG.I. Billî) but will determine where and when after he settles in back home. The term “G.I” originally referred to the plentiful ìgalvanized ironî used by the military during WWI and soon became synonymous with ìGeneral or Government Issueî. During WWII the initials were used for anything that belonged to the military. Soldiers and Airmen began to sardonically refer to themselves as “G.I.” = “General Issue” items, all equally as disposable as helmets, boots, tents, canteens, rifles, jeeps, trucks, tanks, and combat aircraft. They viewed themselves as being

Quilts will be on display for your viewing pleasure and others for sale. You can display your quilt just contact Vicky Didenhover at 509-485 3020 for information. There will be a “Quilt Raffle” and tickets will be available for $1 each or six for $5. Those drawn need not be present to win. There will be a big flea market at Fiona in Chesaw on this Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 30 and 31, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the weekend of ‘Hot August Nights’ up in the highlands. Come up and see beautifully restored cars and trucks, and take home a treasure from several flea market vendors. Good food awaits you at the tavern, and espresso at Fiona. The 5th Annual Hot August

Make the Right Moves to Leave a Legacy to Grandchildren FINANCIAL FOCUS

Sandra Rasmussen

Reported by Edward Jones

On Sept. 8, we observe National Grandparents Day. If you have grandchildren, they will hopefully mark this occasion by sending a card, making a call or, best of all, paying a visit. But however your grandchildren express their feelings for you, you undoubtedly have a very big place in your heart for them. In fact, you may well be planning on including your grandchildren in your estate plan. If that’s the case, you’ll want to do the best you can to preserve the size of your estate — without sacrificing the ability to enjoy life during your retirement years. Here are a few suggestions to help you achieve this “balancing act”: Expect market volatility — and don’t overreact. If you’ve been investing for a while, you know that volatility in the financial markets

is normal. In fact, it’s not unusual for the market to drop 10%, or even more, in a year. Try not to overreact to this type of volatility. For example, don’t immediately sell investments just because they’ve had a down year — they may well bounce back the next year, especially if their fundamentals are still strong. z Diversify. It’s always a good idea to diversify across a range of investment vehicles — stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit (CDs) and so on. While diversification can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio. z Maintain a cash cushion. During your retirement years, you may face unexpected expenses, just as you did when you were working. To help pay for these expenses without being forced to dip into your long-term investments, try to maintain a “cash cushion” that’s sufficient to cover six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses. z Limit withdrawals from your investments. To keep your investment portfolio intact for as long as possible, set limits on your annual withdrawals. Your withdrawal rate should be based on a variety of factors — age at retirement, other sources of income, lifestyle choices, etc. A financial advisor can help you calculate a

withdrawal rate that makes sense for your situation. z Delay your generosity. It can be tempting to provide for your grandchildren — and perhaps even your grown children — as soon as you can. But you need to balance this impulse with the financial challenges that two or three decades of retirement can bring. It’s not being “selfish” to take care of yourself first — in fact, by doing everything possible to remain financially independent, you will be helping your family in the long run. z Don’t delay creating your estate plan. If you are committed to leaving a generous legacy for your grandchildren, you need a comprehensive estate plan. And it’s best to create this plan as soon as possible, while you are mentally and physically healthy. You may never become incapacitated, of course, but the future is not ours to see. In addition to starting early with your estate plan, you’ll need to assemble the right team, including your financial advisor, legal professional and tax expert. You might enjoy receiving attention on National Grandparents Day. But you’ll get even greater pleasure out of knowing that you’re maximizing your efforts to leave the type of legacy you want for your grandchildren — while still enjoying the retirement lifestyle you desire.

OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE FALL IS IN THE AIR Salmon could be in your future at the depot

Sports practices for Fall high school sports are underway, beginning with football last Wednesday. Above, some of the Oroville football team gathers around Coach Tam Hutchinson; left, a Tonasket receiver makes a catch in 7-on7 non-contact drills; below, the Hornets stretch out at the end of an early-morning session; bottom, the Tigers get in some interior offensive line work.

OBITUARIES

Fred Cook

FRED WILLIAM COOK Fred William Cook was born in Tonasket, Wash. on November 7, 1960 to Howard P. Cook and Eva B. Spangler. Fred was known by many names: Uncle Fred, Freddie Crocker, Fast Freddie, Freddie the Toolman to name a few. He was a one of a kind guy. Fred made fun happen, from what we called Okanogan style golf (from our yard into the orchards) to always having something with wheels for our kids and many other kids to play and ride on when at our house, making bow and arrows out of sticks and strings just last month for a couple of our friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandchildren. It was never boring when hanging out with Fred â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was inventive and adventurous, always busy. He worked hard and played hard. Like his dad, Fred also had an awesome talent in welding and creating things like a dinosaur, an alien and spaceship, a robot man and a teradactyl, to name a fewâ&#x20AC;Ś and a train he built with close friends one winter. Fred built his first boom truck out of a 1972 Chevy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he also built his boom on it. Fred started walking at the age of eight months and never slowed downâ&#x20AC;Ś His smile was infectious and he always lent a helping hand. He began working as a child, helping his father in any task at the time. He worked in orchards as a teenager. He worked at a local apple shed. He pumped gas at a station in Oroville. About the age of 21, he started working for Nultonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irrigation and was there until he started his own business at the age of 32. In 1993, Fred started his own business called Cooks Cutting Edge Inc., an irrigation and water pump business. Any type of water problem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fred could figure it out! From installing and repairing pumps, lawn systems, orchard irrigation and not to mention any type of plumbing problem: he carried both plumbing and electrical licenses! He was a dedicated man to his profession and to anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need for anything. Also, from a boy under his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guide and all through his life he mastered mechanics. Like his father Howard, whom Fred admired deeply, their motto was â&#x20AC;&#x153;that if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been made or done once, it can be done again.â&#x20AC;? Fred loved a challenge, and would hardly rest until he figured out whatever was in front of him. It was normal for him to work 10-14 hour days; dinner time was never easy to plan. Fred had a big heart tooâ&#x20AC;Śif someone needed help in most any way he was out the door day or night to help them. Fred had lived in Tonasket and Oroville most all of his life and has had many life long friends which he enjoyed so much. He graduated in Oroville, the class of 1979 and had kept strong friendships with them. Fred had so many characters... FUN & smiling, goofy, humorous, awesome, kind and loving, caring, curious, creative, nonjudgmental, joyful, helpfulâ&#x20AC;Ś this man amplified life and joy! Fun times were going to the beaches, both at the ocean and our local lakes. He enjoyed canoeing, fishing, camping, rock music & dancing, road trips... but most of all his family. Fred was preceded in death by his father, one sister, and one brother. He is survived by his wife Jessie, mother Eva, daughters Nikki and Kayla, son Wayne Rieb, grandson Khai, sisters Ann Cook, Kathy Bendickson (Dennis), brothers Jim Cook, Steve Cook (Teri), and many numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Services will be held Saturday, August 30, 2014 at 11 a.m. at the Loomis Community Church, Loomis, Wash. with Pastor Bob Haskell officiating. Please make sure to see his slide show as we will leave it running as long as possible. A potluck is to fol-

Geneva Reeder

GENEVA REEDER Geneva (Howard) Reeder died peacefully at home on August 19, 2014 of cancer. Had Geneva lived one more day, she would have died exactly 41 years after her husband (Johnny Reeder) had passed away. By her side was her â&#x20AC;&#x153;one and onlyâ&#x20AC;? son (Terry W. Reeder) and her niece, Tanya. Geneva was born May 2, 1936 in Japton, Arkansas and moved to Omak, Wash in the early 1940â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Geneva married Johnny Reeder of Loomis, Wash. in 1955 and they had one child, Terry. Over the years, Geneva worked at Regal Fruit in Tonasket and drove the Tonasket Senior Citizens bus. She also managed several apartments in Tonasket and was the manager of the Hillside Apartments since 1994. After her son joined the US Army in 1982, she enjoyed â&#x20AC;&#x153;going to auctions, yard sales, & buying antiques.â&#x20AC;? Geneva had an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extensiveâ&#x20AC;? collection of â&#x20AC;&#x153;stuffâ&#x20AC;? before her death, which she so â&#x20AC;&#x153;graciouslyâ&#x20AC;? left to her â&#x20AC;&#x153;one and onlyâ&#x20AC;? son to manage. Geneva is survived by her son Terry & daughter-in-law Regina of El Paso, Texas; grand daughters Abigail, Haley, and Melody; grandson TJ; brothers James, Don, Ron and Mike Howard; great grand daughters Bella and Mia; numerous nieces and nephews and many friends. Geneva was preceded in death by her parents James and Mae, brother Marion Howard, sisters Norma Jean Townsend, Bernice Howard and Glenda Wells and her husband Johnny W. Reeder. The family would like to thank hospice for their support during the last weeks of her life, especially Cory and Kayla. A memorial service will be held August 29, 2014 at 11 a.m. at the Tonasket Fraternal Order of Eagles. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the American Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.

She received her teaching certificate from Lewis and Clark Normal School in Lewiston, Idaho in 1941. She taught all elementary grades except first, in Kootenai and Worley, Idaho (1941-1945) as well as St. John, Wash. between 1945-1948. While teaching in Worley, Marian met Evelyn Dull (now of Oroville) who was teaching in Worley as well. She married Alvin Gordon in 1948 in Spokane where they made their home and raised five children. Her parents, Frank and Erna moved to Oroville in 1948 where they were apple orchardists until late in their lives. For several decades, summer breaks and holidays were spent by Marianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family in Oroville. Her children took swimming lessons and learned to swim in Lake Osoyoos. She was a member of the American Legion post in Oroville, as her father, Frank served in the Army (WWI) and brother Walt served in the Navy during WWII. She was an involved parent in her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schools, and a Cub Scout as well as Campfire leader. Her home in Spokane, was a base for the neighborhood and later Gonzaga University student friends of her children. She aptly called her kitchen â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grand Central Station.â&#x20AC;? From her German grandmother, Bertha Steg and her mother Erna, she carried on the tradition of graciously â&#x20AC;&#x153;adding another plate to the tableâ&#x20AC;? when anyone arrived at meal time. She was a calm leader of women who could gracefully smooth out any discord and bring a group to consensus. She was president of many Catholic womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organizations. She enjoyed bridge, gardening, as well as golf with the Wandermere Nine Holers. Her famous pecan rolls were treasured by many and were sent on several occasions to her son-in-law, John while stationed with the Army in Korea. She traveled to Alaska, Hawaii, Europe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with her mother Erna, and Puerto Rico. All of her life she was a teacher, displaying patience, curiosity, joy in discovery, a generous spirit, humor, and facilitator of growth of groups of all ages. She was preceded in death by her husband Al (1980), son John (1974), brothers Frank and Walter Wyatt, as well as her parents. She is survived by her children, Maureen Shogan (Joe) Spokane, Wash., Denise Dhane (John) Steilacoom, Wash.; Mark (Kathy) Omak, Wash. and Jamie, Spokane, her sister Joanne Whiteaker (Clyde) Oroville. Grandchildren, John Gordon (Sarah) - Oroville, Beau Dhane, Dallas. Texas, Chris Shogan (Julie) - Spokane, Sarah Dhane, Austin, Texas, Katie Turner (Shad) Tonasket, Wash. and Stephen Shogan, San Francisco, Calif., three great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews and her cousin John Stegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Betty (Oroville). Funeral Mass was held on August 16, 2014 at St. Aloysius Catholic Church â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Spokane, Wash.

MARIAN KATHERINE (WYATT) GORDON Marian Katherine (Wyatt) Gordon died peacefully on the eve of a Super Moon at Spokane Hospice House on August 9, 2014 with her family at her side. She was the first born of four children to Frank Marion and Erna H. (Steg) Wyatt on September 26, 1921 in Sandpoint, Idaho. She grew up with her two younger brothers and sister and an extended family of many cousins in Sandpoint where she graduated in the class of 1939.
