More snowfall by this Friday night THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE
OKANOGAN VALLEY – While valley residents have been waking up to colder than normal November mornings, the National Weather Service was predicting rain for Thanksgiving with more snow by the weekend. Daytime temperatures were predicted in the lower to mid-40’s with lows ranging from the high 20s to mid-30s through Friday, averaging about 10 degrees higher than last week. However, by Friday night temperatures were expected to drop to as low as 11 to 21 degrees with a 20 percent chance of snow on Friday night. The NWS was predicting most-

Branch discusses Council of Governments Prince Family offers to lease ‘bin lot’ property to city for park use BY GARY A. DEVON EDITOR@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM
OROVILLE – The Oroville City Council heard discussion on several items from Chris Branch, the city’s director of Community Development, at their Tuesday, Nov. 18 council meeting. Branch reported on the coalition of governments, known as the Okanogan County Council of Governments, that has formed in order to handle a number of local issues, especially those concerning transportation. The COG was formed by the municipalities and county after they were voted out of the Regional Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n P l a n n i n g Organization (RTPO) that included Chelan, Douglas and Chris Branch
Okanogan County. The other counties and the larger municipalities decided that there wasn’t the same shared interest in regional transportation planning. “Right now we are keeping the focus

on transportation,” said Branch. “The RTPO used to decide what would be funded, but since we were expelled, if you will, now we have to do that.” The COG includes all the unincorporated cities of Okanogan County, as well as the county itself. Branch also talked about the North Central Washington Economic Development District, or NCWEDD, which still includes the three counties — Chelan, Douglas an Okanogan. The
OKANOGAN VALLEY GAZETTE-TRIBUNE Volume 110 No. 48
organization gets funding from the federal government and is still very supportive of regional planning, according to Branch. Branch said there was a change in leadership for the district, but there is still support for things like the partnership with Canadians along Highway 97 regarding tourism. “Some of the bigger entities which may have wanted us out of the RTPO are still on board. They are willing to finish work on the Highway 97 project,” he said. Branch also talked about the need for a Capital Facilities Plan Update, he said this would be important to the city especially for projects involving the federal government, like the proposed FFA project to move the location of the runway at the city’s Dorothy Scott International Airport. “When it comes out you’re going to go ahead and spend the dollars you have got to have a Capital Facilities Plan or the auditor beats up on JoAnne (Clerk Denney),” said Branch. His commented about the Shoreline Master Plan, which he said was heading the council’s way after being reviewed by

This empty lot located along Highway 97 at the south entrance to Oroville is often full of empty apple bins which are stored there by Gold Digger Apples during the off season. Although convenient for the apple growers’ cooperative, the property often gets complaints about blowing dust from nearby homeowners. The Prince Family has proposed leasing the lot to the city for use as a park.

Attendance was down a bit for this year’s Oroville Community Bazaar held at the elementary school on Friday evening and Saturday morning and afternoon, perhaps due to the fresh snowfall speculated some vendors. However, there were lots of items for sale, including many handcrafted gifts just in time for holiday gift giving.
BRANCH | FROM A1 the state Department of Ecology. “We’d like to get it adopted by the end of the year,” he said. In addition, Branch discussed the area of Osoyoos Lake Veteran’s Memorial Park that divides the lake from the pond. Property owners whose property is adjacent to the pond are requesting a right of way in order to move their boats from the pond to the lake. “It might also be in the city’s interest if we want to make the pond accessible to things like paddle boats, etc.,” said Branch. “One of the owners does not have
an easement and he keeps the boat outside of the pond.” Although the council was not asked to make any decisions on the matter, some of the property owners did get in trouble with the city earlier this year when they created their own access by digging a channel on city property. Dog Park Paul Bouchard, an EMT with the Oroville Ambulance, asked if the city might consider a “dog park” area at Veterans Memorial Park where dogs can be taken off their leaches to run. “Omak just did one, it takes a
fence,” said Branch. “I don’t think that’s the right park,” said Mayor Chuck Spieth, who said the city could look at other areas.
NEW PARK? Among the items the city discussed at their budget workshop on Oct. 28, was an offer by the Prince Family to lease the property where Gold Digger Apples stores their apple bins for a park. They discussed a potential fiveyear lease agreement, with five year renewals, but the details have yet to be worked out.
North Cascades Highway closes for the winter THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE
TWISP – The latest blast of wintery weather on State Route 20, the North Cascades Highway, will keep it closed until next spring. The Washington State Department of Transportation temporarily closed the highway at 9:30 Sunday morning, due to heavy snowfall and a snowslide in the Liberty Bell zone east of Washington Pass. After today’s assessment by maintenance and avalanche technicians who found more slides, WSDOT determined it could not safely keep the North
Cascades Highway open. “Any more snow will pack those avalanche chutes, and we’d be putting the public and our crews at risk if we tried to keep the road open any longer,” said Twisp Maintenance Supervisor Don Becker. More snow at the high elevations is forecast through the Thanksgiving holiday period. Slides below the Liberty Bell avalanche chutes, just east of 5,477 foot Washington Pass, started dumping snow onto the highway Sunday morning. By this (Monday) morning, two more slides had dumped snow across the highway.
Last year, WSDOT closed the North Cascades Highway for the season on Dec. 3. The 37-milelong winter closure zone begins 14 miles east of Newhalem at milepost 134 on the west side of Rainy Pass (4,855 feet) and ends 22 miles west of Winthrop at milepost 171 below Washington Pass. Avalanches usually close the highway between Thanksgiving and the second week of December. Last spring, the highway reopened May 8. It is typically reopened between late March and early May. The earliest opening ever was March 10, 2006.
New office hours at Tonasket Ranger District office SUBMITTED BY SHANNON O’BRIEN PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST
TONASKET – Beginning Monday, Dec. 1, the business hours for Tonasket Ranger District will be 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with a 30-minute closure for lunch from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m. each day. The office provides Forest information, Northwest Forest Passes and other National Forest recreation passes, maps, a small
bookstore and permits for special forest products such as firewood. Forest information and passes are available online at www. fs.usda.gov/goto/okawen and www.fs.usda.gov/detail/r6/passes-permits/recreation respectively. Permit sales for firewood and Christmas trees continue to be available through vendors including: •Hughes Department Store in Oroville • The Junction in Tonasket • Conconully General Store in

WENATCHEE - If you have any questions, please contact any of our Forest Service offices. You will need a $5 Christmas tree permit to remove a tree from the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Permits are available at all Forest Service offices and various businesses in Okanogan, Chelan, Kittitas, and Yakima Counties. Permits are not refundable. Maximum tree size is 15 feet. The tree may be cut, or dug up and removed as a transplant. The ground starts freezing as early as November. Please fill in the hole created when digging up a live tree. Please remove the entire tree, not just the top. Leave no more than a 6-inch stump. If there are any live limbs still attached to stump after tree is felled, cut them from the stump. When at a trailhead requiring a fee, you will need to display a Northwest Forest Pass on dashboard of vehicle. This can be purchased at any Forest Service office. Christmas tree permits do not allow you to park in a Sno-Park. If you park in a Sno-Park you must have a valid Washington State Sno-Park permit displayed in your vehicle. When choosing a Christmas tree, try to pick a tree from among a group of trees so one area does not become void of trees. The Christmas tree permit system is not meant to be a replacement for our special forest product transplant program. That program is separate with its own guidelines. The Christmas tree program is just that, a program set up for families to cut their own Christmas tree. When you cut your tree, remember to punch out the month, day, and year on the permit tag. Tags may not be re-used. Attach the Christmas tree tag where it is clearly visible on the tree. It should be attached before the tree is removed from the site. Each permit is for one Christmas tree. Only two permits issued per family. Christmas trees can only be cut in the National Forest -- greenshaded areas on maps.
• Within 150 feet of any stream, lake, pond, or wetland area. • In active timber sale areas. • On privately owned and state managed land within the National Forest boundary. • In tree plantations, campgrounds, administrative sites, or other areas where specifically posted.
TREE CARE AND TRANSPORTATION: If a tree is obtained early in the season, it should be kept in a cool place, out of the wind, in a bucket of water. Remember, a tree that is dry is an extreme fire hazard. Carry the tree carefully out of
the woods. If the tree will not fit in the vehicle, wrap it in a tarp to prevent windburn and needle loss during transportation. When you get your tree home, make a fresh cut on the butt to open up the pores which have been clogged by sap. Cut off at least one-half inch. If you do not make a fresh cut, the tree will not be able to drink water. After the cut is made, put the tree in water as soon as possible. An average tree may consume between a quart and a gallon of water per day. Avoid placing the tree next to fireplaces, heaters, television sets, or other heat sources. Forest road conditions can change rapidly this time of year. For current information, please contact the local Ranger District office. District personnel may also be able to help you find the type of tree you would like to take home for the holidays. Be sure to properly dispose of your cut tree after the holidays. Most waste disposal companies offer special pick up times. Never try to burn the tree in your fireplace or woodstove; a chimney fire could result. The employees of the Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forests wish you a happy holiday season and hope that your Christmas tree will be a valued addition to your family’s enjoyment.
AREAS WHERE TREES CANNOT BE CUT: • Within congressionally designated Wilderness Areas. • Within Fire Closure Areas. Contact local Forest Service offices for information on specific closure areas. • Within 200 feet of the following roads: Naches District—along State Highway 410, U.S. Highway 12, and Forest Service Roads #1200, #1800, and #1900 Entiat District—along the Entiat Valley Road Cle Elum District—along I-90 and I-97 Methow Valley District—along State Highway 20 over Loup Loup Pass between Twisp and Okanogan. Along Harts Pass road #5400. Along North Cascades Scenic Highway between east and west scenic highway portal signs (including all side roads).

LOCAL FOREST SERVICE OFFICE CONTACT INFORMATION As the holiday season approaches, the Forest Service is once again offering an opportunity for families to obtain a Christmas tree from the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Christmas tree permits are on sale for $5 each at all ranger stations and the forest headquarters in Wenatchee. The $5 permit allows a family to cut a tree or dig a live transplant tree. Permits may be purchased in person or by mail. For those who can’t make it into any of our offices during daily business hours many local businesses are also selling Christmas tree permits. In the general Tonasket area those include: • General Store, Conconully, 201 N. Main Street, (509) 8263374 • Junction Mini-mart, Tonasket, 509 S.

Then, stick to your plan and let your contact person know when you have returned. Consider carefully your clothing and equipment needs, making certain they are adequate for the worst conditions you might encounter. ALWAYS check out the avalanche hazard before leaving home. Be familiar with the area that you plan to visit. Carry extra clothing, food, and tools in your vehicle for those unexpected mishaps that may occur. High clearance 4-wheel driver vehicles are recommended for driving on national forest roads during the winter months. Remember to leave early in the day to allow for maximum daylight. Also, be prepared for all types of weather.

A ton of generosity TES students collect more than 2,300 pounds of food
Left, the Tonasket Elementary ASB conducted a food drive last week that brought in 2,302 pounds of food that will be distributed to the families of needy classmates, as well as the Tonasket Food Bank if there is food left over after the initial distribution. The group included (front row, l-r) Sara Sanchez, Micaiah Schell, Sita Watson, Brooke Richey, Alexis Rodriguez, (back) adviser Katie Abrahamson, Tyler Duchow, Carter Timm, Trace Scott, Connor Hardesty, William Ortega and Janet Alvarez.

BY BRENT BAKER BAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM
TONASKET - After the first day of Tonasket Elementary School’s Thanksgiving food drive, ASB adviser Katie Abrahamson wondered if there would be enough food to meet what looked like would be a huge demand. As it turns out, the diligence of the fourth and fifth grade ASB officers and the generosity of the elementary students’ families and area businesses paid off with a collection of 2,302 pounds of food that was set to be distributed to needy school district families. The food was set to be distributed Monday to families who had indicated to the school that they had a need, either by picking it up or through delivery if necessary. “We have an extensive list of families who have called in wanting to benefit from it,” Abrahamson said. “We circulated fliers on the doors in the school and throughout the staff. We were primarily doing it for the families here. We didn’t want it to be one of those where the food all goes away and we don’t see the benefit from it. “Any remainders will go to the Food Bank for their giveaway on Tuesday, but I’m not sure that they will.” “This means we can give more than 50 boxes of food back to the community and families in need over the holiday season,” said Elementary Principal Jeremy Clark. “I am so proud of our students and their generous families. AS a school and community we have so much to be thankful for; thank you for allowing us to give back.” The kids made daily announcements over the intercom and the food drive became a competition between grades as the week went on. “We’ve been announcing it over the speaker every morning, the totals from the day before,” Abrahamson said. “So it really started getting competitive. We had one of the kids, Janet Alvarez, give the announcement in Spanish as well. The announcements were written in English; she translated them in her mind before speaking. She’s just really gifted.” Each day the ASB officers gathered in the cafeteria to weigh the boxes of food and tally them by grade for the in-school competition. The kids themselves said that while they knew it was a good thing to be helping those in need, they were finding their own ways of thinking challenged as well. “This doesn’t just change things for the people we’re giving to,” said Tyler Duchow. “It makes changes in our lives; when we’re giving, we’re changing also.” “Thanksgiving is all about giving thank yous and giving,” said Micaiah Schell. “It can change other people’s lives, and ours too, when we contribute and support them.” Sita Watson felt that it was important for people who have a lot to help out those who don’t have as much. “There’s a lot of people who don’t have much money or food,” she said. “A lot of people have children who are hungry.

adults don’t have money to buy food; we have the money to get food and give it to the people who don’t.” “Sometimes we think we have it bad,” said Trace Scott. “But we don’t think about others that don’t have as much food as us, or as much money, so when we do something to get a food drive it helps them out in a very special way. It makes me feel kind of like people who have everything are a little spoiled. We don’t have to work as hard to get what we want or what we need. The people who don’t have what they need have to work a lot harder to get that.” Some of the kids, inspired by the generosity of the community as well as concerned for the needs they saw, already had visions of bigger things. “People who don’t have much food can be suffering from a
whole lot of things,” Sita Watson said. “If they were sick and didn’t have that much medicine, a food drive you could bring in medicine or toothbrushes and stuff.” “Food drives are a way we can help people who don’t have money,” Connor Hardesty said. “But it can also give them a jump start to having a good life and go on and do amazing things in the world.” Abrahamson said it also was inspiring to see where some of the food came from, and what the kids learned through the experience. “The first day we were a little skeptical,” she said. “We were afraid we might not have enough donations... after awhile it just started piling in. More and more came, even from families that probably can’t afford to give. “They gave anyway.”

THE TOWN CRIER
REP. RICHARD “DOC” HASTINGS
U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
As I complete my final weeks in Congress, it is only natural to reflect on the past 20 years. It has truly been my honor and privilege to serve you and represent those who call Central Washington home in Congress. Whether it’s helping seniors with their Social Security benefits, ensuring that veterans are awarded the medals they earned but never received, or cutting through bureaucratic red tape to support local families and small businesses – the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives is something that I will always be grateful for. And, it’s one of the things I will miss most about this job. Throughout the years, I’ve appreciated your support and your input on ways to strengthen Central Rep. Hastings Washington and our nation. I have had the opportunity to tour local businesses, family farms and hospitals, talk with students in their classrooms, visit dams, take tours of Hanford, irrigation projects, national forests and PNNL, and host countless town hall meetings in communities throughout our region. I’ve received over 800,000 letters, emails and phone calls from Central Washington residents during my time in Congress on a wide variety of issues – gasoline prices, homeland security, taxes, immigration, the national debt, the Second Amendment, Social Security, health care and more. Regardless of whether there was agreement on the individual issue at hand, I’ve always benefited from these communications. The House of Representatives is colloquially known as “The People’s House.” In our form of democracy it’s imperative that Members of Congress hear from those they were elected to represent. Our American system of government, as established by the Constitution, still works over 200 years later. This achievement is largely due to the participation of the American people in their government. Together, we have been able to achieve some real successes for our communities. We have opened up new markets for our agriculture economy and lowered taxes for families and small businesses. We have sought and made real progress on cleanup at Hanford and water solutions for the Yakima and Columbia River Basins. We have advanced much-needed reform of the Endangered Species Act, protected our dams from threats posed by extreme environmentalists, and held federal land and water management agencies accountable for working with their Central Washington neighbors and partners, allowing public access, and actually taking care of the land and waters they have been tasked to steward. When I retire at the end of the year, I will no longer be your voice in Congress, but Central Washington is still my home. I look forward to spending less time on airplanes traveling back and forth to Washington, D.C. and more time here at home in the real Washington with my family and friends. This is my final weekly message to you as your Congressman, and in closing I would like to simply say thank you and wish you health and happiness. Editor’s Note: Just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from our staff and families to yours. We at the Gazette-Tribune have a lot to be thankful for and we hope that you do as well. Even when times are hard we can usually find something to be thankful for -- family and friends, both past and present, enough to eat, a roof over our heads. There are lots of places to get a Thanksgiving meal this year, so if you don’t want to prepare one yourself, why not stop by one of the free offerings around our communities. Again, Happy Thanksgiving. G.A.D.

THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF OROVILLE & TONASKET
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Leaving the department in good hands Dear Gary, Friday, the 31st of October 2014, was my last day as the Chief Police Officer for the City of Oroville and all the responsibilities that go with the position, but more importantly I consider myself a citizen of the City of Oroville where I have been entrusted with the safety, well being and caretaking of the citizens of this generous little town. I leave this profession as both happy and apprehensive as to what lies ahead for Crish and I, as we make that turn to something new. I have been asked numerous times by friends and citizens “what are you going to do, your still so young” I have to admit I like the sound of that! my answer has not been very definite as I am not sure what I am going to do next, I do have a few ideas but nothing firm. I have spent the last 35 years of my life in one uniform or another and owe both the military and the City of Oroville a great deal of thanks for trusting me to do the right thing, maybe not necessarily what the book says to do, but what was needed and what common sense dictated at the time. I have heard concerns of citizens of what happens next at the department. They want the relationship that has been developed between the citizens of Oroville and their police department to continue. The relationship that started with former Police Chief Randy Wheat. The relationship is that; the officer should be part of the community and not on the outside just looking in. I have tried to continue to nurture this relationship throughout my 15 years as an employee here, and the comments that I have received lately have led me to believe that I have obtained a certain amount of success. I can assure you that I am confident that Todd Hill, who has been employed here at the department for the past 11 years will do a great job of continuing on the values, and common sense attitudes, that have led the department for the past 10 years. I want to thank the following people, for whom without we could not do our duty here at the department; the ladies next door of City Hall, the City Superintendent and his public works guys for what they do on any given day. I want to thank my clerk Brenda Rounds for her daily “can do” attitude and for having all the answers when I needed them the most, the patrolman of the police department as they deserve a lot of credit for the job they do at all hours of the night and early morning and during the weekends and holidays without complaint, and this includes their families who sacrifice so much to ensure that the city is patrolled and the citizens are taken care of. I want to thank Mayor Chuck Spieth for his support and trust. Lastly I want to thank my wife, family and friends for their support during the last 35 years of public service for without their sacrifice and worry, it would not have been possible to do it on my own. Thanks again Oroville, I will see you around. R. Clay Warnstaff Oroville

Fear for future of my grandchildren Dear Editor, Last week’s columns by Gary DeVon and William Slusher reminded me why I’m ready to withdraw to my couch and woodstove and let the world cruise along without me. Gary is bemoaning getting old in our county and Mr. Slusher points out seven reasons for the decline of our country. I think some of his reasons are questionable and there are others that I would have added, but the man makes his point. Really, Mr. Slusher, seven sins? My generation is pretty much out of the discussion now. The right or wrong of that opinion is a topic for another day. My children’s age group, late thirties and early forties, are the ones out there banging their heads against the system, the bureaucracy, the P.C. sheriffs or whoever and they are the ones who will, probably, get us pointed toward the right direction. I still have some confidence in that group. However, if the tide doesn’t start to turn soon, I do fear for my grandchildren and, now, great-grandchildren. I don’t believe they will be strong enough to correct the political and economic sails and our country will wander further off its two-hundred-plus year course into the anarchy and despair of a third world country, or worse. And, after all that gloom and doom, thank you to James Gutschmidt, Oroville Senior Center President, for reminding us all how good we really do have it here in our community and our nation now. Gai Wisdom Oroville
A reasoned ‘No’ on Enloe Dear Editor, Last Monday’s public meeting at the PUD auditorium centered on Enloe Dam and utility plans to generate power at the site. The updated estimate of construction cost is now $39-45 million dollars. The interest would add an estimated $30 million dollars. Combined with the $11 million already spent, we have a project cost of $80-85 million dollars. Our PUD is already $40+ million in debt. In 2014 our debt service was $3.5 million. When the $45 million dollars borrowed from 2002 to 2011 is paid off in 2040, we will have paid the $45 million dollars on principle plus an additional $38.7 million in interest. The big banks love this. Currently, we are borrowing millions more to repair damage from the Carlton Complex Fire and will borrow still more to replace old infrastructure, aging poles, transformers and wire throughout the district. These costs cannot be avoided. With

50 Years Ago: November, 19 -26 1964: “Americanism” was the subject of a recent essay contest sponsored by the American Legion and was held at the Oroville High School. All students in grades 7 thru 12 participated in this contest and approximately 400 essays were turned in. Winners for the whole school were; first, Carolyn Day; second, Kathleen Kernan and third Vicki Emry. Some sawmills in this state are being forced to shut down due to the export of saw logs, Stafford Lewis told the chamber of commerce and this is of grave concern to Okanogan County. A petition bearing more than 30,000 signatures has been taken to the Secretary of State urging that more northwest timber be placed under the protection of this law and was endorsed by the Oroville Chamber. Residents of this area will be interested to know that a former resident of Oroville has won a seat in the Washington State House of Representatives from the 13th District in Seattle. George Pierre, as Chief of the Colville Federated Indian Tribes won the seat. Pierre attended school in Oroville, was injured during World War II, and has been known as a writer. Pierre is the first Indian Chief to sit in the House. November 1 saw
these growing mandatory expenses the proposed Enloe power plant is a dangerous and risky gamble on our ability to pay the bill. The seasonal stream flows of the Similkameen River cannot produce enough power to justify doubling our debts and continuing to raise rates. The year-round output of the Enloe generators would average 5 Megawatts, 57% of the 9 megawatts often quoted as output by the PUD. Oroville’s substation distributes 27 megawatts to our region. Electrification of Enloe Dam would provide less than 20% of Oroville’s sub-station and only 2% of the Utility’s county wide requirement. This was the reason we abandoned the old power house in 1958. This investment defies logic and common sense. The utility presented revenues and costs projected forward over the next 50 years, with and without Enloe in production. It shows that Enloe power would add to the PUD costs each year until the bonds are paid off around 2049. Commissioner Houston was skeptical of the projected 2.5 to 6 cent per kilowatt/ hour benefit of Enloe power to the ratepayers 50 years down the line. “I look at numbers for a living. The differences in numbers that far out is insignificant. It’s not even within the margin of error”, said Houston. PUD officials have been meeting since May with state and federal agencies, tribes, conservation and non-profit groups working to develop an alternative plan for the Similkameen River. The plan would be funded from sources outside the district and would include sediment studies, sediment removal and removal of the dam itself. It would take about 5 years and cost an estimated $35 million dollars. Why does our PUD continue to say over and over again “dam removal costs would be paid by the ratepayers”? This huge amount of risk will largely profit people who live outside our county. These are the big bankers, the Wall Street investors and brokers, the large corporate manufacturers and the big contractors that will bring their equipment and journeymen to build the project. Except for some lodging, meals, food and fuel spent by workers and equipment over three years, there will be no long term gain to our local economy. Ratepayers elected a new PUD Commissioner, Scott Vejraska, behind his promise to tackle the run-away spending and rate increases at our PUD. With a new perspective and no old baggage to cloud his thinking I hope he sees it is time to cut our loses on Enloe and get back to serving the people of Okanogan County with affordable electricity.

Another Thanksgiving! This year the grand’s decided to come for Christmas, so our table had a lot of empty chairs, but to keep harmony within the families we have to take turns. As one of our small great grandsons has taught us, “Take what you get and don’t throw a fit.” What a clever babysitter he had that taught him that phrase. For those who have lost loved ones during the year “first holidays” are difficult. Just cherish the memories from all the past happy times. John Myrick, Molson, (Sidley Lake), left for his higher rewards last week. He was in Wenatchee hospital, his wife, Nita was in Tonasket hospital, both were brought home by their son and John passed away, but at least they had that little time together. Condolences go to

OROVILLE SENIOR NEWS
On this Thursday, Nov. 27, at 1 PM, all are invited to partake of a traditional Thanksgiving meal, par excellence, at the Oroville Senior Center, 1521 Golden Street. We will provide the turkeys, dressing, potatoes, gravy and refreshments. We ask that others bring, potluck style, the rest of the meal, so that all, even those empty-handed, may be fed. And, let’s celebrate our bounty. Remember, the original Pilgrims and Native Americans met as a community that first Thanksgiving Day.

ting up? The above mentioned snow got serious about it, around five o’clock and it snowed for a while like it would never stop, huge, wet flakes and continued for a couple of hours. I don’t know if it was due to the snow, but the crowd at the Community Bazaar wasn’t much of a crowd, Friday evening. Perhaps Saturday had more foot traffic. Lots of nice things on display! Break-ins are happening again. So be sure to secure things when you leave home. Churches really seem to be on the hit list. When I started writing the column this week, I had so few thoughts, and “things” just keep happening and I add on. News has just come of the death of Barbara Forrester. She has fought the valiant battle of cancer for over five years, and as nearly always, she lost. She was such a beautiful lady in so many ways, filled with faith and determination for living. She is now free of her discomforts. Remember her husband, of over 50 years, with love and support for the difficult times ahead. ‘Til next week….

Thompson wins cage fight to go 3-0

BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM
AIRWAY HEIGHTS - Nathan Thompson feared he might be a bit rusty after nearly a year between professional MMA bouts. It turned out not to be an issue Nov. 15 as the Oroville fighter won his lightweight bout in 45 seconds at the Northern Quest Resort and Casino just outside Spokane. Thompson (3-0 in his pro career) finished off Donald Gouge (1-1) by a first round key lock submission. “My last fight was a year ago in December, so I was nervous stepping in with what we call ‘cage rust,’” Thompson said. “I had huge fan support and didn’t want to let them down.” Thompson said he was overwhelmed with the support not only by his sponsors (Oroville Fitness, Trinos Mexican restaurant, P&D Pub, C&E Orchards, C&C Photography/Graphics and Crispin Ramirez_ but by the group of fans that made the trip to Spokane for his fight. “Without the help from you guys I wouldn’t be able to do the sport I love,” he said. “Also want to thank everybody that went to my fight and cheered me on. That was the loudest crowd I have ever heard it was awesome. There is nothing better then the living in a small community because of all the support and help I get from everybody! Small towns stick together.” Thompson now begins preparation for his biggest professional challenge yet: a fight against Matt Coble, who sports an 18-8 record, at the Tulalip

Firewood NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To make a firewood complaint, call 360902-1857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx

OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE
Awarded $22,500 by Washington State Department of Commerce SUBMITTED BY DEBBIE ROBERTS CO-CHAIR, TONASKET FOOD BANK
TONASKET - The Washington State Department of Commerce (Building Communities Fund Program) has notified the Tonasket Food Bank that it has been ranked number seven (of 29 projects) in its grant for $22,500 toward purchase of its current building. The Food Bank anticipates receiving formal notice of approval after the next Legislature session in late spring or early summer, 2015, with funds to be allocated in the fall. With this good news of being able to purchase our building, we can now focus on the regular expenses of running the program ñ food, utility expenses (which are higher now that we own the building), needed renovations, and regular upkeep. The Tonasket Food Bank
board if directors is extremely grateful to Montie Smith for her guidance through the grant application process, and to the community at large for their contributions in time, money and food for the Food Bank’s ongoing mission. As we enter the holiday season, the board wants to remind everyone that the work of the Tonasket Food Bank is ongoing. The holidays can be stressful times when families are expected to join in a festive spirit while they are worried about making ends meet . The Tonasket Food Bank provides food for an average of 150 households each week, about one-third of those being children under the age of 18. With the building purchase almost complete, contributions can now be designated for regular operating fund. The Board of Directors wishes to sincerely thank the generosity of the wider community, and asks that they please keep those contributions coming! Their new mailing address is Tonasket Food Bank, 101 Highway 97, Tonasket, WA 98855. For more information, please contact Debbie Roberts, 509-4862192.

OBITUARIES
Donetta Bunde
DONETTA KAY BUNDE Donetta Bunde, 69, passed away November 9th at Salem Hospital with her husband, Kent at her side. She was born in Salem to Don and Eleanor (Doerfler) Blades, being the only daughter with two older brothers, Dennis and Roger, followed by two younger brothers Wally and Jimmy. Donetta enjoyed her childhood on the family farm taking care of typical livestock and other chores farm life brings. One of her favorite pastimes was to horseback ride, her dad said she could ride most anything he would bring her. Donetta would jokingly reminisce about those times as to how hard it was to be the only daughter with all those brothers but she cherished those years as told by her fondness to share the stories of her childhood, with her brothers, many cousins and lifelong friends. Donetta graduated in the last class from St.
Boniface High School, Sublimity in 1963, participating as a cheerleader, and playing softball. She married Kent Bunde at St Boniface Church on Sept. 12th 1964, and they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year. After marrying, Donetta and Kent moved and lived in Pierre, South Dakota where David was born, within a few years Bridgette came along, shortly after they moved back to Oregon were their youngest son Kevin was born. She spent the majority of her younger life raising a family on Silver Falls Hwy. Kent and Donetta lived in Ferndale, Tonasket, and Wenatchee, Wash. for approximately 10 years during the late 80’s though the 90’s. She enjoyed many activities while in Washington most memorable were gardening, crabbing, clamming, and snowmobiling. She had her own snowmobile and could handle it well. Donetta enjoyed watching sports but mostly NFL football in which she was a Seattle Seahawk fan. Soon after Kent retired they sold their home and purchased a large 5th wheel RV that would be their home for approximately the next 10 years as Kent traveled the western United States subcontracting as a mainline Fiber Optic inspector. She enjoyed the times traveling which lead them to most of the states west of the Mississippi. Donetta spent most of her life as homemaker, however as the kids grew older she did have many part time jobs as well as volunteering at a local hospital. Donetta always enjoyed gatherings with family and her many friends she had met over the years. She typically would spend hours cooking a meal that always turned out wonderful. Donetta was preceded in death by her parents, Don and Eleanor Blades, and brothers Dennis and Jimmy. She is survived by her husband Kent and

Barbara Forrester
BARBARA J. FORRESTER Barbara J. Forrester was born on December 18, 1934 in Oroville to parents Giacamo and Angeline Scacco. She grew up in Oroville and was raised by her sister Rose Marie and
Web Hallauer. On March 21, 1953 she married Richard Forrester and together they raised two sons, Richard E. and Dane C. Their entire married life they spent on the farm raising apples. Barbara was very family oriented and was active with her boys as they were growing up supporting them in their sports and school activities and family outings including skiing .. For many years she and Richard owned and operated Dick’s Furniture until retirement in 1997. Over the years, Barbara was active in Bridge Clubs, ran several tournaments for charitable organizations and taught others how to play. She was an excellent Bridge player. She was a charter member of the Oroville Golf Club and served as President of the Ladies Golf Club. Barbara traveled extensively and especially enjoyed those times with her family and friends. Gardening was a part of her life and her green thumb produced beautiful flowers and vegetables; and she loved to cook, especially Italian food , and liked to entertain. Her grandchildren were very special to her and she spent as much time as possible with them. Barbara is survived by her husband whom she loved dearly, two sons, Richard E. (Debbie) Forrester of Ft. Worth, Texas and Dane C. (Joyce) of Oroville; six grandchildren and five great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by two brothers, Frank and Guy Scacco; one sister, Rosie Hallauer, one grandson, Eric Jon Forrester and Web Hallauer. A memorial service will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church in Oroville and 11 a.m. on December 3, 2014 with the Rev. Marilyn Wilder officiating. Memorials may be made to Trinity Church, PO Box 1270, Oroville or Oroville Streetscape, Box 299. Bergh Funeral Service of Oroville is in care of arrangements.
Resources, a Denver based firm, has been drilling test holes on 4,100 acres of property, on or near Buckhorn Mountain, for over a year now and expects to have completed the frilling phase by Christmas. Two votes could mean that Oroville incumbent Mayor, Ed King, may retain his position as mayor, according to the Okanogan County Auditor’s office. “The fat lady ain’t sang yet,” was the comment of challenger Mick Munson, who has called for a re-count. Regal Fruit of Tonasket is a co-op and according to manager, Gerald Alumbaugh, “fruit co-ops will always be the backbone of the apple industry and co-ops will always listen to their growers.” The banquet honored the celebration of Regal’s 41st anniversary as a co-op. Centenarians Ted Germain, age 102, Mamie Wurman, age 102 and Jessie Pickering, age 100, receive plaques honoring their longevity and contributions to the community, from Tonasket Student Body members Debbie O’Neal, Vice President, for publicity, Paula Bensing, President and Kristi Walker, Vice President for programs. The students, by the way, say they are all age 17. A meeting concerning the Old Oroville Cemetery has been called for Thursday, December 7, at the offices of the Oroville-Tonasket Irrigation Company. The meeting is open to all interested in putting up a fence around the cemetery. Dorothy Petry, caretaker of the Oroville Cemetery, said, “the land has been surveyed by Guy Fisher, who volunteered his time, and former Oroville resident, Lawrence Perkins, says that he will pay for the fencing materials.” Petry further stated that the Oroville Grange will volunteer help put up the fence. Many of the first pioneers of the Oroville area are buried in that plot. Subscribe to the...
