Tonasket man arrested for attempting to lure 8-year-old girl into car

PLANTING THE FUTURE

Man alleged to have knives and other weapons in car

BY GARY A. DEVON EDITOR@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

OROVILLE – A Tonasket man was arrested after he allegedly tried to lure an eight-year-old Oroville girl into his car on two separate occasions, according to Sheriff Frank Rogers.

Arrested was Douglas A. Lowrie, 53.

The arrest came after he allegedly contacted the girl on April 18 when she was walking home on Golden Road, southeast of Oroville, from a friend’s house and again on April 22 when she was walk- Douglas A. Lowrie ing alone.

According to reports, Lowrie contacted the young girl and gave her a bag of potato chips.

Lowrie told her if she got into his car he would take her anywhere she wanted to go.

“He talked with me two times and tried to get me to get in the car,” said the girl last Friday.

“He told my daughter that he had my telephone number, she ran home and told me,” added her mother.

“On April 22, Lowrie attempted to pick

Above, Tonasket Tree Board members and volunteers met at Little Learners Park Friday, April 24, to celebrate Arbor Day planting five trees, including a Flamingo Box Elder Maple donated in memory of Cola Burton. Other trees planted were Red Maples, a Coral Fire Mountain Ash, a Northern Red Oak and a Purple Leaf Plum. The Tonasket Garden Club donated one of the trees, and the others were purchased by the city through a grant. This is the ninth year the city has planted trees on Arbor Day; “to increase the amount of city trees, with emphasis on our parks and to let community members enjoy watching them grow,” announced Mayor Patrick Plumb. The majority of trees planted in past years has been at Chief Tonasket Park. Pictured, left to right, are Jim Rice, Andy Townsend, Council Member and Tree Board Director Dennis Brown, Mayor Plumb and City Maintenance Supervisor Hugh Jensen.

up the same girl again and she reported it to her mother. Lowrie then drove to the victims’ residence and started to talk to the mother, who instructed her kids to call 911,” said Sheriff Rogers.

As Lowrie drove away from the residence, the mother wrote down the license of Lowrie’s vehicle and reported the incident to the sheriff ’s office. The vehicle Lowrie was driving is a 2011 Hyundai Elantra 4 door, registered to him.

On April 22, Deputy Isaiah Holloway was detailed to Golden Road in reference to a child luring complaint. At the location the deputy made contact with a mother and her daughter. The mother reported that a male subject had attempted to lure her daughter into his vehicle on two different occasions.

Deputy Holloway started looking for Lowrie and located him driving north on County Highway 7 and Thayer Road.

“Lowrie was questioned about the incident and his only comment was that he thought she was 13-years-old and then he stopped talking,” said Rogers.

Lowrie was placed under arrest and transported to Okanogan County Jail and booked for two counts of attempting to lure a minor into a motor vehicle.

Prior to the arrest, the victim’s mother posted photos of a similar car on Facebook in an effort to warn people about this man.

“Then when he was arrested we were told he had several weapons, including knives, in the car with him,” she said. “I hope he doesn’t get out of jail any time soon.”

A Retirement Party/Open House/ Reception is scheduled for today, Thursday, April 30, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.; to say good-bye to Lange and welcome new librarian Sara McVay. Lange began working for the library in 1994, after coming to Tonasket to visit her sister Cathy Lange, and liking the area enough to stay. The sisters are originally from Tuscon, Arizona.

Forresters are May Fest Grand Marshals

BY GARY A. DEVON MANAGING EDITOR

OROVILLE – Dane and Joyce Forrester are this year’s May Day Grand Marshals and their choice by the May Festival Committee is somewhat of a departure, but well deserved.

While the couple are widely known for keeping the Community Fireworks show going, they also have strong ties to the community at large and the schools.

“Just guessing by my kids ages, I would say that we have been involved for 15 years total with the fireworks,” said Joyce.

Dane says it all began with Joy Ehlers and then was picked up as a cause by the Sons of the American Legion. After a few years, the group grew smaller

and smaller until the Forresters seemed to be the only ones left to approach the community.

“In the beginning we were short of having enough money, then Jim Prince donated to help us out. We’ve had others, especially Greg James, chip in each year, but it is often a struggle to find the funds,” said Dane, who adds that many in the community have been generous.

He points to the help the event has gotten from Brian and Rebecca Sawyer the past six years as making his job easier. Brian Sawyer is the licensed pyrotechnician that is responsible for making the show a spectacular each year.

The couple, especially Dane, say they are glad to be out of the fund raising part of the event now that the Oroville Chamber of

Commerce has taken over.

“Now we can just go down to Deep Bay Park and help to set off the fireworks. We don’t even have to worry about getting the park ready any more,” said Dane.

In addition to the fireworks, Dane has coached junior high basketball for three years and high school softball for 10 years for Oroville. He can also often be seen running the time clock at sporting events.

“We put in two years helping with the Can Am boat races in 1988 and 1989 and we put on the Oroville May Day 3 on 3 Basketball tournament for three years under the Oroville Booster Club,” said Joyce.

For 22 years Dane worked for the family business at Dicks Furniture, as well as helping out with their orchards. The furniture

24 hours per week.

“When I first started, my goal was to work up to 25 items a day getting checked out, because there was just no traffic. It was our goal to meet the needs of the community, but if I didn’t get the traffic, I didn’t know what yhe people in the community wanted,” recalled Lange. “I can remember when we hit a thousand items a month being checked out. That was a huge goal, and now the average is 4,500 items checked out per month. We hope we met the needs of the community; that’s what it’s about.”

Lange said they worked their way up to keeping the library open full-time about 13 years ago. Check-out slips were handwritten before the library became automated, with computers for patron use brought in about six years ago. Movies and audio books were added later.

“We used to have patrons with audio books who would bring them in and trade out with other patrons through a basket on the counter,” said Lange.

According to Lange the library computers are secure, with information wiped clean once a patron logs off, and password access changing daily. People who aren’t library members can get a day pass, even using their laptops outside when traveling, as the wi-fi is on 24/7.

Other changes Lange witnessed over the years is a burgeoning summer reading program.

“It’s good-sized now, with a lot of kids in it. Last summer they read a total of 2,532 minutes, and they try to beat that every year,” said Lange. Books can be read at the library, at home or anywhere else. Minutes of parents reading to preschoolers also count.

“If they read 10 hours, they get a free new Scholastic book of their choosing that the Friends of the Library purchases with proceeds from book sales,” Lange said.

Tonasket Library is one of 29 branches of the North Central Regional Library (NCRL) system and is funded by Okanogan County property taxes. Book sale proceeds are used within the branch for additional needs such as programming, artwork displays and other library needs.

The book sales are held twice a year; on the Thursday and Friday prior to Founders Day Weekend and the Christmas Tree Lighting weekend.

“The people in the front office (at city hall) have all been wonderful. We use the council room for our programs, so it has been a really wonderful partnership,” said Lange. Programs include the summer reading program, puppet shows, crafts events and appearances by the ‘Reptile Man.’ The library gets deliveries twice a week of books that have been ordered or are new to the system.

Three book clubs currently operating out of the Tonasket branch get copies of books ordered through a department out of regional works. NCRL is headquartered in Chelan.

Lange said a favorite memory is working with the kids after school that didn’t have somewhere to go.

“You watch them grow up over the years, letting them do things for the library to learn job skills; and then they come back and get hired,” she said. “Brittany Fitzthum came in when she was young, then she became a page, then she became a sub. I remember telling her when she was young, ‘One day, maybe we will be able to pay you.’” Lange said pages are high school students learning important customer service skills.

“We couldn’t operate without all the volunteers helping,”

said Lange, adding she had lots of wonderful memories of staff members.

“You become friends when you work together,” she said.

The library currently has four volunteers on staff; Liz Williams, Hannah Calhoon, Sheila Barnes and Rachel Miketa-Lacey.

“It’s been wonderful working here, with the people and the books and the kids,” said Lange.

“It’s such a wonderful facility, with these custom-made oak shelves made by a gentleman here in town.”

Retirement plans for Lange include gardening, visiting family and playing with her grandson.

“Maybe I’ll do some traveling; that would be nice,” she said.

The new librarian, who some will remember as Sara Jordan, is a 2008 Tonasket graduate. She has been working in the Omak library the last two years, and plans to move from Omak to Tonasket with her young, growing family as soon as possible.

McVay’s husband, Patrick Dunn, was born and raised in Twisp, and is currently employed by the Winthrop Forest Service. Their daughter Amelia is four and a half.

“Patrick is really liking the small town feel of Tonasket,” said McVay. “Omak is still small, but the people aren’t as connected as they are in a town the size of Tonasket.”

club royalty during May Festival, as has their mother. Shelby was recently married and is a hair stylist on the coast. Lacey is currently at home attending Bellevue College online, but transferring to Wenatchee Valley College in the fall.

The Forrester family has been involved in the May Festival for three generations. Barbara served as majorette for the high school band. Dane served as crown bearer for his babysitter Lynn Dwyer in 1965 and Joyce did the usual club and class royalty.

Completing the three generations are Shelby and Lacey who served as various royalty and both were Maypole Dancers.

“The year Shelby was May Princess, the Wolleys, Kellys, Carpers and Dane and I put in over 100 hours in mechanically rebuilding and refurbishing the May Day float and trailer,” she said.

“We are fortunate to live in the beautiful area we do. We are lucky to be surrounded by beautiful lakes and mountains and we really love living here,” said Joyce.

“There is no where else I would have rather been raised or raised my family then in Oroville. We love it here.”

Firefighters continue to keep eye on fire straddling border at Mt. Chopaka OROVILLE — Firefighters from the Tonasket Ranger District are continuing to monitor US portion of the small fire at the United States-Canadian Border north of Chopaka Mountain. The fire is under unified command between United States and Canadian Governments. It is on lands managed by the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management.

The fire was active yesterday with isolated torching on the US side. It was pushed by 30-35 mile per hour winds blowing from the north/northwest. As a result, there was some additional spread onto BLM lands and the fire is estimated to be about four acres on the US side.

On the Canadian side, the fire is estimated to be about 260 acres.

The fire is burning in steep, rocky, inaccessible terrain between 2000 and 3000 feet elevation. Today’s helicopter flight to observe the fire from the air was cancelled due to cloud cover.

Firefighters are actively monitoring the fire and taking suppression action where they can safely do so.

Information about the incident, including an interactive map, is online at www.bcwildfire.ca.

To report a fire, please call 911. For more information, please contact the Tonasket Ranger District at 509-486-2186.

Last Friday afternoon the Oroville Police Department, along with units from the U.S. Border Patrol, Okanogan County Sheriffs and the Washington State Patrol responded to a report of a domestic dispute where a man was alleged to have been dragging his wife by the hair. When they arrived the woman, Donna Reed is alleged to have assaulted Oroville Police Chief Todd Hill and was arrested for obstructing and assaulting a police officer. The police tried to arrest the husband, Richard Reed, but he had barricaded himself in the house, according to Chief Hill. The couple’s two daughters attempted to talk their father into giving himself up, but there was no sign the suspect was coming out. After some concern that Reed may be armed, Hill made the decision to get a warrant and armed law enforcement stood by and warned bystanders to get back. Chief Hill later decided to ask all law enforcement to leave in the hopes that Reed would come out on his own, which he did later in the evening, turning himself in at the Oroville Police Station.

“We opted not to conduct the search warrant and enter the residence.

It was a case of a possible possession of a firearm, versus an alleged crime. It is not worth the risk to the officers safety or to potential bystanders,” said Chief Hill. “He did later come and turn himself in and was released. The case goes to the prosecutor to decide. If he gets a summons to appear in court and doesn’t then an arrest warrant will be issued.”

THE TOWN CRIER How do we keep our communities vital?

I just caught the tail end of the Pathways to Prosperity workshop held at the Pastime Bar & Grill recently. From what I saw it was interesting and seemed to focus, at least in the second half, on how Oroville can attract entrepreneurs to live here – especially that group of young people known as Millennials. You know, the ones that came after the Baby Boomers and Generation X. If we’re to put a label on it. The twenty to thirty somethings.

It seems most of those in attendance were of Baby Boomer or Gen-Xer vintage – while they do own most of the businesses here, the idea was that we need to have more of the next generation to keep the town fresh and vital.

The workshop was put on by Washington State University and was attended, via video, by many different communities in rural Eastern Washington.

“The focus was on revitalizing our communities through entrepreneurship. They stressed that small business makes up a huge part of Out of this country’s economy and is especially imporMy Mind tant in rural communities,” said Chris Branch, Gary A. DeVon Oroville’s director of community development.

“Boomers are active people engaged in planning to work to revitalize our community... but we notice that the younger people are not there and they are potentially the entrepreneurs who will start new businesses,” said Branch, who helped facilitate the conference.

Branch adds that it comes down to making downtown Oroville an attractive place to start a business.

“There were questions like ‘why come here?’ How do we show the community in a positive light – it’s a big challenge. There were suggestions like having the Chamber start a fund for new business and education,” he said.

Among those “big challenges” was the fact that in Oroville the economy can be very seasonal. Another is that there are several empty buildings, but few are ready be moved into right away.

After watching the video, the group was asked to identify the community’s entrepreneurs and ask existing people why they located their businesses here. There was also talk about can the community take advantage of things like NAFTA, Foreign Trade Zones and Port Districts.

Branch said new state legislation has passed that allows Port Districts to be smaller and not have to take in the whole county.

Something that held north county back in the past.

Several business people also answered questions regarding why they have a business here. Some grew up here and have family here.

While others like the rural area and country life Oroville affords them.

Kell Peterson, an economist from Osoyoos and Vicki Eberhart, who is starting a wool mill in Oroville, suggested those gathered need to start looking at North America as their market, rather than just Main Street.

We need more meetings like these – but we also need to see more than just a few of the same faces, mixed with a few new ones. Keeping our community vital is important to all who live here and finding that next generation of entrepreneurs who will take Oroville into the next decades is vital to our community’s survival.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Puzzle of Autoimmunity

Dear Editor, Puzzles seem to beg for solving, no more so than the puzzle of autoimmunity.

Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, Crohn’s Disease, type 1 diabetes and many more are unfortunately common in the Pacific Northwest. In fact no state has a higher percentage count of autoimmunity patients than Washington.

With this puzzle, pieces include the influence of genes, triggers, family history and the state of one’s immune system. How can siblings receive the same genetic load with completely different outcomes; the sister with MS, the brother with Crohn’s and another brother with no apparent autoimmune issues at all?

How have we come to the 21st century with so little understanding of the origin of over 80 autoimmune conditions? Slowly increasing numbers of therapies are emerging but there remain no cures. Women and children get the brunt of this health dilemma. No part of the body or age group is immune. Research is underway in many parts of the world but definitive paths to eliminate developing autoimmune diseases are yet to be found.

North Central Washington has a high incidence of autoimmunity and better understanding of this complicated puzzle can lead to earlier and correct diagnosis; key to slowing and reducing tissue damage from the family of autoimmune diseases.

May 16 in Wenatchee at the Performing Arts Center, the first annual Living with Autoimmunity event will be presented for patients, family and support persons. This program is a joint effort of the Autoimmune Advocacy Alliance and the National MS Society; Greater NW Chapter. An overview of autoimmunity and insight from medical specialists will be included. A patient panel will offer their own stories and how they are coping.

Admission is free but registration is requested. To register visit www.a3autoimmunity/blog.org or call the MS Society at 1-800-344-4867 For questions of further information please call Judi Rising at 509-630-5344 Judy Rising Wenatchee

Column was inaccurate Dear Gary, In your column you made mention that the

School District does not allow outside groups such as youth baseball, softball and adult softball to use our field. I believe this is an inaccurate statement.

In the 15 plus years I have been here we have never to my knowledge turned sports groups away from using our fields. Presently we have youth softball using Terry Taylor Field for practice and games, and I am told that adult softball still uses it from time to time for practice.

In regards to a soccer field at the new Prince’s Heritage Park, no one has approached the School District in regards to our teams playing there or our contributing to it’s development. Personally, the last thing I want to see this new park space used for is another soccer field. Any group that is pursing the development of a soccer field and using the School District as an advocate is doing so without the School Districts knowledge. As Athletic Director I did have one of our High School Soccer coaches ask me if I would write something in support of a soccer field and I told him I would not.

Respectfully, Tam Hutchinson OHS Athletic Director

Local members of the Pacific Northwest Trail Association met members of the Okanogan County Backcountry Horsemen on the north end of Blue Lake in the Sinlahekin Wildlife Area early Saturday morning to do trail maintenance. At 9 a.m. they started hiking to the Blue Lake Trailhead and worked on the trail traveling south on the west side of Blue Lake. For the first two miles they trimmed trees with loppers and handsaws. They also performed some light trail reconstruction removing rocks and debris along the trail. At 11:30 a.m. they stopped for a picnic lunch along the trail and at noon continued hiking south and encountered a section of the forest where some logging activity had occurred. For the next mile they raked and removed limbs and debris by hand. At 1:30 p.m. they finished our assigned section of the trail and began to hike out. The group reached our original starting point at 3 p.m. and enjoyed a potluck celebration hosted by members of the Backcountry Horsemen.

“Thank you to all members of the PNTA and Backcountry Horsemen for your work on this trail. This is a wonderful area and we hope more people take advantage of opportunities to use the trail,” said Dave Tobey, with the PNTA.

Trail maintenance and upcoming events discussed SUBMITTED BY DAVE TOBEY OROVILLE CHAPTER OF THE PNTA

At the April 22 meting of the Oroville Chapter of the Pacific Northwest Trail Association, there were project reports on the recent trail maintenance event in the Sinlahekin Wildlife Area on Saturday, April 18.

Six local PNTA members worked from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. clearing the trail on the west side of Blue Lake. This was a combined project with the Backcountry Horsemen. Justin Haug, DFW facility manager, sent us a note of thanks for your participation. This was a fun event and we hope to do similar projects soon.

Samantha Hale, Marketing Director for the PNTA, discussed possible promotion ideas for the PNT and activities in our area. Suggestions included the rotation of monthly meetings to include Oroville, Tonasket and

PNW TRAIL NEWS Omak. She also suggested the inclusion of area businesses as trail partners, the use of social media, and coordinating events with PNTA HQ so they can promote our events on their website.

Samantha has many great ideas and we appreciate her willingness to help the local communities along the PNT. Upcoming events: A. National Trails Day, June 6 Planning for this event is on track and we are making progress. Trygve Culp will host the trail maintenance event starting at Whistler Canyon Trailhead at 9:00 a.m. Dave Tobey will host the Similkameen Trail bike ride at 4:00 p.m. The evening event will be at 6:00 p.m. and a motion was made to have it at Centennial Park in Downtown Oroville.

Dave will check on the availability of this site. It was also suggested that we have a cookout and grill hamburgers and hotdogs.

B. Trail Day, August 8 and 9 Joseph Enzensparger would

like input from the members on the following questions.

1. Do we want vendors like artists and crafts?

2. Do we want local food?

3. Should we contact outdoor suppliers to showcase tents and gear?

4. What activities, hikes or runs or bike rides as scheduled events?

5. What about a fish tank for kids?

Please email your suggestions to Joseph at jgenz4@gmail.com C. Oroville May Day, May 9 Joseph and Dave will set up a PNTA information table at the May Day event. Samantha is planning to attend and supply us with promotional items.

Attending the meeting were James Moore, Steve Shimmel, Dave Tobey and special guest from PNTA headquarters in Sedro Woolley, Jon Knechtel and Samantha Hale.

Thank you to our Special Guest Jon and Samantha for attending and providing support and direction for our local chapter.

Jon reported they dodged over 40 mule deer on the trip home.

All the funds raised go to support the program so the young singers can showcase their talent.

We had two local ladies, Pie Todd and Aya Cruspero, sing for us, too. Wow! They all did a beautiful job. We are so proud of them.

Legion Post 84 will have a float or two in the May Festival parade. We are featuring Korean War vets but are asking all veterans who would like to ride and/ or to help with the float please do so. Please call and let us know who will be there so we know how many places we need. If for some reason you don’t call, show up anyway. We will make room.

Last week, we enjoyed a royal gala that included hosting the May Festival Royalty by our own Senior Citizen Royalty. We hosted Ellamae (yes, named after the mountain), the May Festival Queen and Princesses Faith and Mikayla. They shared a table with white table cloth, fine china, royal purple lilacs, and assorted flowers as a centerpiece. And, they drank sparkling cider in crystal glasses, all organized by Roberta Cole, our out going Senior Citizen Queen.

Roberta and Howard passed the crowns to the new Senior Royalty.

Hank and Darlene were also presented with a certificate of election. Hank wore his best suit, and Darlene was in purple to match

SCHOOLS School garden reaps rewards for Arbor Day Students plan several trees in Tonasket School garden

BY KATIE TEACHOUT KATHERINE@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - The Tonasket School Garden became permanently greener when students planted Chestnut, Hazelnut, and Oak trees along with Saskatoon (service berry) and Caragona (Siberian Pea) shrubs along it’s borders.

A total of 145 trees were ordered through a grant from the Okanogan Family Faire, arriving in time for planting on Friday, April 24, in celebration of Arbor Day.The trees were planted to protect the garden from the wind, produce fruit and nuts and create a beautiful border.

“Do you know why we celebrate Arbor Day?” Alex Appel asked students gathered at the garden. “Because if every one on earth planted just one tree every year, it would make up for all the

deforestation. That’s the point of today.”

Appel, recently transplanted from South Africa, is a Gear Up employee and Vice Chair on the School Garden Board. He also serves as a resource for the garden’s outdoor classroom until a permanent staff member can be hired.

Speaking to fifth graders and students from the Outreach Program, Appel asked for good reasons people should be planting trees.

“They make a place more beautiful.” “They provide oxygen.” “They give us food.” “They provide habitat.” “They make the earth more green,” students responded.

Appel agreed, telling the students “It might not seem like a lot of work, but we are going to find out today how much work it is.”

Asking for volunteers to carry shovels, water, compost and mulch, Appel headed for the first pre-dug hole. He demonstrated how a mound of dirt was left in the center, surrounded by a circular crevice. The roots, following the water, would go around the hole rather than remaining in a ball which could lead to the tree

tipping over in the first strong wind. The first tree to be planted was a Siberian Pea Shrub, chosen for its ability to form a hedge and protect the garden from the North wind.

“Normally we would add a little compost to the hole to feed the tree, but since this one has nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots, that won’t be necessary,” Appel said. “Add a sprinkling of high-nutrition potting soil, and cover up the soil, as it is alive.

Do you notice how nature works it so the ground is usually covered? We will defer to nature, as it has been doing it for four and a half billion years.” That said, Appel put on a top layer of grass clippings provided by the school maintenance staff.

Students then broke into teams and headed out to get the trees in the ground. Other volunteers on board for planting trees throughout the day included the Ag. Science landscaping class, middle school engineering and service learning classes, school garden board members, AmeriCorps volunteers, Gear Up members, the elementary school Green Team and other students.

The Green Team is made up of

Fifth-grade students and Outreach students work with Alex Appel planting trees on Arbor Day about 20 students in third, fourth and fifth grades.

“They go into the classes as representatives and help rally the students,” said School Garden

Education Liaison Rose Corso, who organizes the Green Team along with VISTA volunteer Sabrina Norrell. Corso said after students viewed a U-tube video

on the importance of trees and the Green Team made a presentation, nine of the eleven third through fifth grade classes signed up to plant trees on Arbor Day.

Several moving on to State

BY KATIE TEACHOUT KATHERINE@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

Students from Tonasket’s FFA competed at the District VII Leadership Career Development Event in Chelan Wednesday, April 22, with several members qualifying to go on to State Competitions, and two individuals possibly moving on to Nationals.

Rade Pilkinton took first place in Extemporaneous Public Speaking. This event requires members to draw three topics from a hat and choose one to prepare a four to six minute speech within a thirty minute preparation period. Pilkinton’s topic was ‘How will the public opinion of GMOs affect producers?’

“The basic gist of my speech was that the public opinion is not going to matter in the long run, because the producers are going to have to feed an ever growing population, and to do that they need to use GMOs,” Pilkinton said.

Asked how he prepares for a contest where he doesn’t know what issue he will be speaking on, Pilkinton said he reads current news articles; particularly from the Capital Press, a newspaper focusing on current agriculture issues.

The Prepared Public Speaking event involves participants preparing a six to eight minute speech on an agriculture related topic. Qualifying for State in this event are Corinna Karrer, Jenna Valentine and Deisy Alcauter.

“We choose a controversial agriculture topic to speak on,” said Valentine.

Karrer took second place with a speech on the current need for more agriculture on tribal lands.

Valentine placed third speaking on in vitro meats, where animal cells are grown in a petri dish. A speech on immigration laws and how they affect the agriculture industry earned Alcauter a fourth place finish.

Competing in the Creed Career Development Event (CDE) were

Nicole Juarez and Morgan Tyus.

This event requires first year members to recite the five paragraphs of the FFA Creed and answer a series of three questions.

“The creed was written in 1928 and is a statement of beliefs, reasons, history and words of encouragement for FFA members,” said FFA instructor Matt Deebach. “They did a great job; it is a very, very hard competition.

It’s a memorized speech, and if you miss two or three words, it can mean the difference between first and fourth place.” This was the only event this year where Tonasket students did not qualify for State.

Teamwork was required for two different Parliamentary Procedure events. The Novice Parliamentary CDE requires a team of first year members to perform the opening and closing ceremonies of an FFA meeting, and complete a short Parliamentary Procedure Demonstration. The Parliamentary Procedure CDE requires teams of six members to solve a problem using a specific set of parliamentary motions.

“First there is a 50-question test on parliamentary knowledge and fundamentals, and after the run is completed they have to answer questions from the judge,” said FFA President Dallas Tyus.

Taking first place in the Novice Parliamentary Procedure event was a team made up of Nicole Juarez, Katie Henneman, Madison Clark, Sam Whitney, Morgyne Hjaltson and Camille Wilson.

Placing second was a team consisting of Morgan Tyus, Taylon Pilkinton, Rycki Cruz, Alycia Tibbs, Mikah Haney and Hayley Larson.

Tonasket also took first place in the Senior Parliamentary Procedures CDE, with a team made up of Jordan Hughes, Rachel Silverthorn, Janelle Catone, Dallas Tyus, Rade Pilkinton and Jenna Valentine.

“There are six people on the team, and one is chairman and the others are officers,” said Catone.

“You are given a main motion, and each member is to make two motions and debate four times.”

It’s no surprise this team took

first place; two years ago team members Catone, Valentine, Hughes and Pilkinton were on a National Novice Parliamentary team that placed second in the nation, along with teammates Samantha Earley and Madison Bayless.

A second team made up of Deisy Alcauter, Seth Smith, Johnna Terris, Lexie Wahl, Bonnie Siegfried and LeighAnne Barnes tied for second place. A coin toss to determine placement put them in third place. Both teams will go on to State, held at Washington State University in Pullman May 14-16.

“I am looking forward to the State convention. We have some kids that have worked really hard,” said Deebach. “It hasn’t been without its disappointments, but I think the kids that compete will make the community really proud. I think we had the most kids advancing on to State from our district than any other district.”

Deebach said additional opportunities available only at the State level the students would be participating in include a Farm Business Management Team, a Meats Evaluation Team and and a First Year Career Development Event for Freshman.

A special event held at the State Convention for a select few is an awards banquet BBQ sponsored by the Washington State FFA Foundation honoring students for their accomplishments.

WSU’s Dean of students for the College of Agriculture will be present, along with other business leaders in agriculture.

“Out of 1500 kids there, only 20 are invited to this banquet,” Deebach said. “Charlie Sanchez, the big winner, has been invited to attend. Also, there will be a slideshow honoring him at the State Covention as a State Star finalist; and his application has been forward to Nationals.”

Sanchez, a senior, qualified in Fruit Production Placement.

Tonasket 2014 graduate John Symons also had his application forwarded to Nationals in Equine Production.

“John graduated last spring, but the State pulled his application and asked him to submit

Morgyne Hjaltson makes it safely to first base in the second inning of last Friday’s (April 24) home game, despite the best efforts of Pateros player Lauren Gelstin. The Tigers held the Nannygoats from scoring at the beginning of the game, coming out on top 1-0 at the end of the second inning. Pateros soon forged ahead to win the game 7-3.

The Nannies currently stand fourth in the North Central Washington B League among nine teams. Tonasket is in seventh place, with two conference wins and eight losses; four wins and ten losses overall.

Third baseman Sam Keller is firmly planted for the out as Kat Wilson of Pateros attempts to steal third during the fifth inning of last Friday’s (April 24) home game.

OBITUARIES

Forrest Dean Boyer

FORREST DEAN BOYER Forrest Dean Boyer, “Forry,” went to be with our Lord on April 25, 2015. Forry was born January 7, 1938 in Sprague, Washington.

Forry was raised in Oroville, Washington and graduated from Oroville High School in 1956.

Forry retired from Okanogan County PUD in approximately 1993 and continued to work with Jim Prince at Prince’s Department Store and thereafter Jack Hughes of Hughes Department Store.

A dedicated and devoted husband and father, Forry was known for his rowdy sense of humor and restless enthusiasm for living. Beneath that salty exterior was a golden heart. He was a good friend to his community and truly adored his beloved Oroville. Forry was a member of the Oroville Episcopal Church and served as a board member, Oroville Masonic Lodge, member of the Oroville Fire Department, served on the Oroville City Council, numerous May Festival Committees throughout the years.

Forry loved boat racing and coordinated and donated many hours of time to promoting hydroplane races on Lake Osoyoos through the years. Forry had a passion for hobbies to include woodworking,

restoration, ownership and showing of vintage automobiles and many others.

Forry was preceded in death by his parents, Howard and Gladys Boyer and grandson Collin Timothy Cross. Forry was blessed with a wonderful family – son Michael and daughter-inlaw Brenda Buckmiller; daughter, Tammy and son-in-law Larry Eneix; son Tim and daughter-inlaw Cindy Sneve Boyer. Forry has seven grandchildren, Stephanie Hornback, Colby Boyer, Kyle Cross, Kyle Buckmiller, Whitney Boyer and Kadi Buckmiller. And, four beautiful great grandchildren, Sophia Mae, Ava Madeline, Shaylin Alexandra and Blake Patrick. Forry is also survived by his sister Donna Shaver of Deer Park, Wash., nieces and nephews and countless friends. Forry will be missed by his family, his friends and his beloved Oroville.

Judy Ellen Marts

JUDY ELLEN MARTS Judith Ellen Marts left this world on April 19, 2015 at the age of 75 to join her dear departed loved ones. She passed peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family.

Judy was born to Robert and Betty Hesseltine, the only daughter of four children on December 13, 1939 in Mason City, Wash. where her father was working on construction of Grand Coulee Dam. The family later moved to Snohomish, Wash. where Judy was raised and attended school.

In 1958, Judy married Don Smith and together they had two children, Roger and Elaina. This union was fated not to last… and some years later they divorced.

While working at the Hour Café in Snohomish, Judy met John Marts and a year later, in June of 1968, they were happily married.

Together they had two children, Alan and Ann. Judy continued to work as a waitress at different restaurants in the Snohomish area until they took their family and relocated to Toroda Creek in Eastern Washington in 1972. In 1974, they moved to Oroville where they would call home. Judy enjoyed being at home raising her children for the next several years.

In the early 1990’s Judy attended Gonzaga University and became a Paralegal. Judy returned home and got a job at the Okanogan County Courthouse as a court facilitator from 1994 to 1997.

Judy left that position to work closer to home and worked as an Insurance Agent at Farmers Insurance until retirement.

Judy enjoyed going to family campouts, years of fishing with friends and especially at Conners Lake with her son, Roger. She also enjoyed watching her grandsons play high school football. It didn’t matter how cold or how far away, you could always count on seeing her at a Friday night game, usu-

ally in Republic or Wenatchee.

Judy was a wonderful person and although she was often in pain, she had a smile on her face and was always happy to visit with friends while up town doing errands. She was a loving mother, grandmother, wife and friend and she will be missed dearly by everyone who knew her.

Judy is survived by her husband of 47 years, John Marts; son John (Shelly) Marts and grandkids, Ashley and Aaron; son Roger (Trish) Smith and grandchildren Robert, John and Sky; daughter Elaina (Dave) Koepke and grandchildren Justin, Chance and Dallas; daughter Ann Marts and grandson Brandon (Holly) Wells along with several great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Betty Hesseltine and her son Alan Marts.

At Judy’s request there will be no services. Memorials may be made to the Oroville Ambulance in her memory. Also, the family would like to thank the Oroville Ambulance Crew and the Oroville Pharmacy for their service and special care.

Rest in Peace Mamma! We Love You! Bergh Funeral Service and Crematory is in care of arrangements
