State Champs Zillah Boys Thrill Town With Season By Erick Peterson Days after the Zillah High boys capped off their undefeated basketball season with a state championship, players were still abuzz with excitement. “Actually, the whole school and the entire community of Zillah is floating on air,” according to Rock Winters, Zillah High School athletic director. Zillah put the final touches on a picture-perfect season over the weekend, knocking off King’s 52-46 to take the state Class 1A crown. That was the 27th straight win this year for the Leopards as they completed a perfect season. Brady Widner, who scored 21 points in the championship game for the Zillah boys, was named the state tournament’s Most Valuable Player. The win was especially sweet for Zillah since the Leopards had made the state finals in 2011 and 2012 only to be knocked off, finishing second. But this time it was the Leopards’ turn to celebrate at the SunDome in Yakima. The school had a celebratory assembly in the gym on the Monday morning following the championship, and was planning a community celebration in the Zillah Middle School Gym on the following Wednesday. He said that town pride was at its height following the state title. Winters praised community residents for supporting the team, and he spoke highly of cheer and band members
who also rooted the Leopards on to each of their victories. “Something like this is very special,” he said. “Everyone goes into the season with this as their goal. It never happens, but it happened this year, and they deserve it.” Doug Burge, head basketball coach, stands at the top of the most worthy celebrants, according to Winters.

This year was a Cinderella season for the Granger girls basketball team, according to Dave Pearson, Granger High School athletic director. “We are very proud,” he said. Many outsiders predicted Granger to end the season fifth in the league. People on the inside, however, knew that they had a special team and it was less of a surprise when they qualified for the state tournament, where they finished sixth. This sets up high expectations for next season for a team that will return with many of its top players. “It’s a sign of good things to come,” Pearson said.

Ex-legislator, Ag Director Runs For Hastings’ Seat
By Erick Peterson All too often, big government does not understand communities like ours, according to Dan Newhouse, former Washington State Department of Agriculture director. He said that he wants to take local insights and values to Washington, D.C., as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Newhouse is one of several local politicians who announced their candidacy following Rep. Doc Hastings’ announcement that he would retire at the end of the year and not seek reelection. A lifelong farmer, with history in state government, Newhouse said that his priorities include repealing national health-care legislation, maintaining the Hanford cleanup project and preserving dams. “Those are some of the issues that I see as being important to people in Central Washington,â€? he said. He added that he wishes to increase the amount of water available to this area, not just of farms but also for industry. And he hopes to help the national government “get a handle on its financial house.â€? “The size of the debt and deficit both continue to grow at unsustainable levels,â€? he said. “It almost becomes clichĂŠ but we are mortgaging our children’s and grandchildren’s future. That’s the road we’re heading down, and I think that’s a dangerous place for us to be. We’ve got to make changes in the ways we spend money and make it match the money we bring in.â€? He said that his farming background is “very influentialâ€? to his goals for the country — so much so, in fact, that his politics are a natural extension of his experience as a farmer. As a farmer and a resident of the Yakima Valley, he said that he understands the needs of this area, both the needs of farmers and those outside the ag industry. “In my opinion, that’s not a bad thing,â€? he said. “Central Washington is the center of agriculture in a lot of ways for the state of Washington. Agriculture is a huge part of our economy from north to south. I see that as an asset.â€? He said that, being that Central Washington agriculture is largely an export market, he would like to find new ways to increase trade nationally and internationally and create new opportunities for agricultural products, thereby creating wealth and jobs locally. “Our broken immigration policyâ€? is also on Newhouse’s mind, and he wants “clear solutionsâ€? that will both secure America’s borders and provide much-needed labor. He said that solutions are likely to be difficult. Legislators will have trouble with a great many other is-

He expects to contact Hastings at some point and get his perspective on issues and politics, but he acknowledged that an endorsement might not come right away. “I fully understand in what is likely to be a crowded Republican primary that Doc will probably sit on the side for most of the campaign,â€? he said. “I fully understand that.â€?

Opinion God’s ‘Lost Children’ Can Find Their Way Home
By Frank East I watched a video by Ken Davis, a Christian comedian, called “Fully Alive.” He shares a true story where he had taken his granddaughter on a camping trip high in the mountains. One afternoon he was going out to collect firewood where he allowed his granddaughter East to accompany him for a short distance. Before loosing sight of the campsite, he told her she better return before the trek became too difficult. On the way back, the little girl decided she would rather be with her grandpa, so she set out to find him. In the process she became lost. This set off a search with many authorities involved. After several hours of searching Ken in his frantic state says he fell to his knees begging God to take him and not her. Around this time, in another area, where they had neglected to search, a teacher who was out hiking came across this little girl sitting on a rock. She informed the teacher that her grandfather was lost. When Ken found his way back to the camp he saw his beautiful granddaughter and ran toward her to collect her into his arms and held
her close. There were no words of chastisement, no angry gestures, only love existed there. Luke 15 tells of three stories where something or someone became lost. The end result of each story is once it or he was found, there was great joy. Jesus said in Luke 19:10 “That He came to seek and save that which was lost.” The reference is about those who have lost their way in life. They have become a lost soul. In the first two stories of Luke 15, there is a great search to find that which was lost. This tells us when we are lost, God doesn’t give up on us but keeps calling after us until we are found and reunited with Him. The last story is about a young man who chose to get lost in the world through reckless living. After becoming tired of this lost state he returned home to the waiting loving arms of his father. Again, no words of chastisement, no angry gestures, no longer a lost state, only love existed here. If you are in this lost state there is a Heavenly Father who is looking for you to return home. His Son literally died that you could be found. He exhanged the life of His Son so you could have life with Him. (John 3:16, Romans 6:23). Be found in a Bible-believing church this coming weekend.

Settlement Won’t Damage Toppenish School Programs
By Erick Peterson Toppenish School District Superintendent John Cerna wants the public to know that a recent $6.9 million settlement to the family of an injured infant will not disrupt programs at any Toppenish schools. The injury occurred in 2007, as Sophia Sanchez fell through an 8.5-inch gap in the bleachers at A.C. Meagher Field at Toppenish Middle School. The child fell several feet to the ground, hitting her head on the concrete below. Sanchez was in the hospital for a month, and she still suffers serious medical issues, such as limited mobility and control over her bowel and bladder. Doctors expect that she will spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair and will need constant care. “It’s a tragedy,” Cerna said. But with the settlement reached and approved by Yakima County Superior Court, he is now reassuring people that local schools will not be diminished. “It’s not going to impact the district, hardly any, at least in terms of funding,” he said. He said that not a single program will be cut nor will anyone be laid off. “School districts have really good insurance,” he said, “and the total cost will be covered by our insurance company.” He said that the Toppenish School District would only be responsible for its $10,000 deductible, a cost it has been prepared to pay for several years. According to Cerna, this case was mostly a concern of the insurance company, which would be respon-
sible for damages to the young girl if a court decided that the school was at all in the wrong. The insurance company settled, thereby managing to keep this case from reaching court. “I think that a lot of people think that this came out of The Toppenish School District will not be disrupted by a $6.9 million settlement to the family of district an injured infant, according to Superintendent John Cerna. coffers,” hur, stood for 50 years without February, he said.

Young Local Boxer Is Ready For National Vegas Event

By Erick Peterson Jonny Rubio, 17-year-old Toppenish High School student, said that he was training harder than ever in anticipation of boxing in the National Golden Gloves Championships, starting March 13 in Las Vegas. Golden-glove winner on the state level, he became eligible to join the contingent of Washington state boxers who will fight in the competition. Sporting a record of 6-2, with his latest wins in Tacoma at the 66th Annual Washington State Golden Gloves Championship, he admits that he doesn’t have much experience. As such, he is at a bit of a disadvantage. Also, since he has recently stepped up in weight, he will be fighting heavier opponents. Still, he remained optimistic leading up to his upcoming bouts in Las Vegas. Some of this confidence is based on his performance in Tacoma. “In those earlier fights, the punches weren’t hurting,” he said. “None of the punches hurt me.” His coach, Hiram Cantu of Round Three Boxing Club in Toppenish, said that Rubio’s confidence might seem surprising to people who have known the young man for several years. “His transformation has been phenomenal,” Cantu said of Rubio. He first met him when Rubio was
a 14-year-old “skater kid.” A shy and timid young man, who Rubio followed his older brother into the gym and asked if he could train to be a boxer. Early on, his coach had trouble encouraging Rubio to throw a punch in sparring sessions. However, this soon changed. Now, Cantu speaks of Rubio as “an all-package deal.” Hand speed, strength and footwork all combine to make him an amazing talent, according to his coach. Cantu entered Rubio into amateur contests, and he was not at all surprised by his success. Ahead of state Golden Gloves, he racked up four victories in six fights, with his only two defeats occurring during an illness. He said that his expectations are high for Rubio, but he is not the only person with great hopes for the boy. The entire Round Three Boxing Club family, made up of amateur and professional boxers, as well as coaches and supporters, are all looking forward to Rubio’s matches. They were all helping him train, pushing him harder than he had ever been pushed before, guiding him through difficult exercise, several hours each day. “I really feel sorry for him,” Rubio said leading up to his big fights. “We’re going to work him very hard.”
