TONASKET - The potential for an ordinance that would permit all-terrain or off-road vehicles on Tonasket city streets received plenty of attention at the Tuesday, Sept. 11, Tonasket City Council meeting.

Although no specific ordinance has yet been proposed, it has been on the council’s agenda several times in the past couple of months, and a number of resi-dents were present to discuss the issue.

Spencer King, president of the North Central ATV Club, presented a proposal that would be forwarded to Okanogan County to open up routes from Tonasket to Loomis (up North Pine Creek Road through Horse Spring Coulee), and from Tonasket to Beeman Road, through Pine Creek to Fish Lake, providing a corridor all the way from Conconully.

Those routes would only be proposed to the county for ATV use if a city ordi-nance were passed.

“What your group intends isn’t to take over the city, but to utilize the services here and then go out into the surround-ing community,” said Tonasket Mayor Patrick Plumb. “Are you looking at just

using certain routes in the city?”“When we did this in Okanogan, we

excluded Highway 215 (the main street through Okanogan),” King said. “But then we were able to include 215 as well, so we had access to the grocery store, the ATV store ... I’m sure if you’ve been there, you haven’t seen hordes of ATV users in the streets.

“The thought is if people wanted to stay in a hotel, they could do that, then family members could leave Tonasket and ride all the way to Loomis if they chose.... As a group it’s nice to be able to ride in the forest, come into town, gas up, eat, then go back out.”

About 15 were in attendance, with a number of both pro and con opinions being expressed.

Those opposed to allowing ATVs in town cited concerns with additional traf-fic congestion, safety concerns due to a lack of visibility of small vehicles, and noise.

Those in favor of such an ordinance cited the potential economic benefit, the city’s history of individual liberty, and belief that ATVs are no less visible than motorcycles or smart cars, and could

TONASKET - Thanks in large part to a cost report settlement, North Valley Hospital’s warrant levels have begun to come down.

Acting Chief Financial Officer Helen Verhasselt reported at the Thursday, Sept. 13 NVH Board of Commissioners meeting that the hospital had received a $704,000 settlement the previous day and combined with normal cash receipts the warrant level had dropped to just over $2 million after nearly reaching the $3 million earlier in the month.

Verhasselt also reported that the num-ber of swing beds in use had gone up from about 2.5 patients per day through July, to 4.0 in August and 5.75 in the first part of September.

“It shows that there is a big need,” Verhasselt said. “And with our increased reimbursement rate with our new cost report adjustment, could potentially bring in (a lot more revenue.)”

Business Development Director Terri Orford said that efforts are underway to get Vet Pro Certified providers on hand to treat the number of veterans that are being seen in the Tonasket clinic.

“It has been a very discouraging pro-cess,” she said. “The VA needs to reevalu-ate their credentialing process. We have several providers who are ready and willing to come the following week. But even if they are in the state - say, in Puget Sound - they have to have a recertifica-tion process, even if they are certified ... they have to be recertified through the Spokane VA.”

That involves not only paperwork, but additional online training, federal back-ground checks, and on-site checking of references by VA officials.

“They won’t give us emergency privi-leges,” Orford said. “So our hands are tied.”

Commissioner Lael Duncan said that she was meeting with Senators Murray and Cantwell next week.

“Please develop a timeline for me so that I can share this with them,” Duncan said.

“That’s our next step,” Orford said. “We need to talk to our senators and lobbyists to find a way to solve this problem.”

The NVH Board of Commissioners next meets on Thursday Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. in the Commissioner’s Board Room at 126 S. Whitcomb Ave.

Victims spend the night in orchardBY GARY A. DEVONMANAGING EDITOR

OROVILLE – Two Oroville men were involved in a rollover accident on Eastlake Rd. early Sunday morning and the sheriff ’s department suspects the cause was exces-sive speed - attempting a 25 mph corner at more than 70 mph.

Okanogan County Sheriff ’s Deputies responded to a one vehicle rollover acci-dent near 48 Eastlake Rd. east of Oroville on Sunday morning. It appeared the vehi-cle accident had occurred Saturday night, sometime after midnight, according to Sheriff Frank Rodgers.

The registered owner of the vehicle,

Timothy M. Porter, 21, was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and Austin A. Nigg, 22, was treated and released from North Valley Hospital in Tonasket. Neither subject were wearing seatbelts and both were ejected from the 2003 Ford Escort ZX2, the sheriff said.

“The two subjects were involved in an incident earlier in the evening at the Eagles in Oroville and were seen driving away from the scene at around 12:30 a.m.,” said Sheriff Rogers. “It is believed that the subjects crashed some time around 1 a.m. in morning but it was not discovered and reported to the sheriff ’s office until 7:20 a.m.”

Both subjects laid out in the orchard until discovered Sunday morning, accord-ing to the sheriff.

“So far in the investigation it appears that the vehicle was traveling northbound

on the Eastlake Road, a 35 mph speed zone. As the vehicle came up to a sug-gested 25 mph curve, the driver lost con-trol, left the roadway on the west side and struck several orchard trees and rolled. Both occupants of the vehicle were ejected from the vehicle.

“The initial investigation at this time calculates the speed of the vehicle at 70 plus miles an hour as it entered the 25 mile-an-hour corner. It also appears that alcohol may have been a factor in the accident.”

The investigation is still ongoing and the sheriff ’s department has not yet been able to determine who was driving the car at the time of the collision. The Washington State Patrol Criminal Investigation Division from Moses Lake is going to bring Total Station to the scene on Wednesday to assist in measuring, Roger said.

General election ballots go out in just one monthSeveral local, state and federal offices to be decided in NovemberBY GARY A. DEVONMANAGING EDITOR

OKANOGAN – While the country tries to decide on the next president in the upcoming general election, there are only 30 days before the county sends out ballots and several state and local races need to be decided a well.

Several deadlines are also fast approaching, including the last day for mail-in voter registrations and updates for the Nov. 2 general election. This deadline is Saturday, Oct. 6, but registra-tions and updates can be filed online as late as Monday, Oct. 8 (Columbus Day). The last day for in-person registration for voters not currently registered in the state for the general election is Monday, Oct. 29.

While overseas and military ballots are going out next Saturday, Sept. 22, the rest of the voters in Washington State will have their ballots mailed on Friday, Oct. 19.

This November sees races for the two Okanogan County Commissioner posi-tions open to elections. The primary knocked out one incumbent for Position 1, Andy Lampe, leaving Albert Roberts, a Democrat to face Sheilah Kennedy, a Republican. Don R. “Bud” Hoover, the incumbent candidate for Commissioner Position 2, is challenged by fellow Republican Ray L. Campbell. While only voters in each commissioners’ district were allowed to vote in the primary, the general election is opened to all voters in the county.

There are two judicial positions that appear on the general election ballot, although only one will be decided by the voters. Chris Culp, who was appointed to Okanogan County Superior Court Position 2 by Gov. Gregoire last year, will stand for the bench alone on the

November ballot. However, Scott D. Stuart is challenging Heidi E. Smith, who was appointed to the District Court bench after Culp was picked to fill the newly created second position on the Superior Court. Hank Rawson was selected to fill Superior Court Position 1 when current longtime justice Jack Burchard steps down after the election.

There is one PUD Commissioner position also on the upcoming elec-tion, incumbent Trish Butler is seeking a return in Position 2. She is challenged by Steve Huston in this non-partisan race.

Voters in Tonasket and Okanogan both have ballot issues regarding Sales and Use Tax Levies. Both cities are ask-ing their citizens to approve a 0.1 percent increase in sales and use tax, where at least one-third of that increase is to be used toward criminal justice or fire pro-tection purposes or both starting in April 2013. Oroville voters have a couple issues to decide.

Okanogan County Commissioner Position 1 candidate Albert Roberts talks with voters at a Meet and Greet event held in Tonasket last Friday evening at the Community Cultural Center. He and Bud Hover (seated), the incumbent commissioner candidate for Position 2, took the opportunity to talk a little about themselves and to answer questions. Despite being in different political parties, it seemed they both could agree on several issues of con-cern to Okanogan County. Also at the event was Scott Stuart, candidate for District Court Judge, who was invited by Roberts to introduce himself and tell a little about why voters should consider casting their ballots for him.SEE ELECTION | PG. 3

TONASKET - Though revenues are down, the Tonasket Chamber of Commerce’s RV Park has con-tinued to be a profitable venture, reported treasurer Bill Nelson at its Tuesday, Sept. 11, meeting.

Through August the park had brought in $5,670 of income with $3,409 in expenses for a $2,260 profit.

Profit is down about 50 percent

from last year, however, as income at the same point a year ago was about $8,500.

Although the economy in gen-eral was thought to be a major fac-tor -- discussion was that revenues for other area RV parks were down as well -- a lack of advertising and internet visibility were thought to be factors as well.

To that end, a membership in an RV organization such as Good Sam, that provides discounts to travelers in exchange to much

higher visibility in travel guides, will be looked into.

On a broader scale, the chamber board voted to purchase adver-tising from on a North Central Washington Travel Display, a large sign board that will be posted in a number of areas throughout the region touting local attractions. Possibilities for sign board posi-tioning in Tonasket include the RV Park and TVBRC.

The chamber’s next meeting will be Tuesday, Sept. 25, at Whistler’s.

Mop-up continues at the Barker Canyon ComplexFirefighting resources demobilized to other fires in the stateBy Gary a. DeVonmanaging editOr

ELECTRIC CITY - Approximately 100 remaining firefighters spent last Saturday mopping up the 91,162-acre Barker Canyon Fire Complex in preparation for transition Sunday to a Type IV incident manage-ment team under the command of Mike Solheim, incident com-mander.

The incoming team will con-tinue to patrol and mop up the contained fire, staffing it with three strike teams of engines, a task force leader and logistics chief. As of last Saturday, the fire was more

than 79 percent contained.

Larry Nickey, incident com-mander for the WIIMT #4, expressed his appreciation for all of the hard work by fire-fighters to contain the fires that, for eight days, threatened homes and structures.

“Lots of people from the com-munities surrounding Coulee Dam have come up to me and thanked me for stopping this fire,” Nickey said. “I have had to explain to them that it wasn’t me but the firefighters who deserve the praise. I promised them all that I would pass on their appre-ciation to all of the personnel who contributed their efforts to containing these fires.”

All of the resources – equip-ment and personnel – that were demobilized Saturday were reas-signed to other fires burning in the state. Most were sent to help fight the Wenatchee and Okanogan Complexes burning in the Wenatchee-Okanogan National Forests. State-mobilized personnel returned home to be ready for any new fires that may

threaten towns and residences.Jeff Pendleton, Incident

Commander for the Wenatchee Fire Complex, told firefighters “we have been developing plans as we have been fighting fire. One missing key element has been the right mix of resources. We have a good plan and now we have the force to implement that plan. We have a force of over 1800 firefighters, crews, engines, and aviation assets. It is time to engage the plan and make our efforts leap forward.”

A combination of factors con-tinue to challenge the firefighting effort: Smokey conditions have caused limited visibility, dan-gerous burning and/or standing dead trees, steep terrain, rolling logs and rocks, plus extremely dry vegetation all contribute to fire fighting dangers.

The high pressure weather system sitting on top of the Wenatchee Valley will bring inversions in the morning and cause winds to be terrain driven. The worst air quality will be in

the late night and morning hours because the smoke gets trapped near the ground during morn-ing temperature inversions. This weather pattern is expected to continue through the week.

The public is asked to use cau-tion in and around Entiat where over 600 firefighters are based at the Entiat City Park; vehicles will be entering and exiting Highway 97A.

The area is extremely dry and conditions are right for rapid fire growth on existing fires and new fire starts. All outdoor burning is restricted and campfires are allowed in designated camp-grounds and the Wilderness on National Forest Lands in Chelan County.

The Incident Management Team expressed its appreciation to the community for their sup-port and help in the team’s efforts to suppress these fires. It is vital that the community cooperate with evacuations, road closures, and avoiding areas of high traffic for fire suppression, according to

the IMT.The Buckhorn Mountain Fire

has forced the closure of portions of the Methow Valley Ranger District’s North Fork Gold Creek Road 4340 and South Fork Gold Creek Road 4330. Both roads are located a few miles south of the town of Carlton, and just west of State Highway 153.

The Leecher Fire has also forced closure of some roads located east of the Methow Valley and about four miles southwest of Twisp. These roads include Benson Creek Road (Forest Service Road 4150) and South Summit Road 4100.

For additional information about closures, please the local ranger district office, or check the Okanogan-Wenatchee forest website or the Inciweb fire infor-mation website for the Okanogan Fire Complex, Wenatchee Fire Complex, Yakima Fire Complex, and Table Mountain Complex (www.inciweb.org).

ll DNR-protected lands, effec-tive July 1 through Sept. 30,

2012. The ban includes all for-estlands in Washington except for federal lands, which have their own published restrictions. Campgrounds may have addi-tional burn restrictions in place. Campers should check with their campground host before starting a campfire.

The burn ban cautions the public to: 1) light campfires only where authorized – in approved camp grounds with approved fire rings; 2) never leave a camp-fire unattended, and be sure it is completely dead out and cold to the touch before leaving the camp site; 3) be sure recreational vehicles have operating spark arresters; 4) be aware that com-mon recreational activities can cause fires, such as target shoot-ing, cigarette butts, and trailer chains dragging on concrete; 5) not park any vehicles in dry, grassy areas, as the heat from exhaust systems can ignite the dry grass; and 6) never discharge fireworks on DNR-protected and public lands because it is illegal.

enhance visibility through the use of flags while in town.

“What I summarize the concerns are Volume - loud; Volume - more traffic; and Volume - visibility,” Plumb said. “So we can start to formulate with council whether we choose to address this or to leave it alone and to not allow this sort of traffic in town.

“We’ll have a (town hall) meet-ing (for further discussion and information), and I’ll let you know about when that is.”

The council also heard a request from Forrest Brender, who has been running a food cart twice a week in the Lee Franks parking lot. He asked if he could utilize the lot at Founders Day Park, next to the TVBRC, for increased visibility.

“I like the idea,” said council member Scott Olson, who added he was worried that allowing the use of city property for a business would amount to an endorsement of the business. “I’m concerned that you’d be competing with other food vendors.... (The city) doesn’t want to be competing with private ven-dors.”

After discussion as to whether or not encouraging business activ-ity in that way amounted to an endorsement of the business, the idea of a one month trial run was proposed.

“I want to encourage your busi-ness,” Olson said, “but I don’t want to be giving you an advantage, either. I like the idea, though, of giving you a chance to get started,

just not a chance to stay there.”“My biggest concern is the prec-

edent,” said council member Jean Ramsey, who said the city should not accept any rent money for the use of the lot.

“I agree on that precedent issue,” Olson said. “That’s why I want to call this an ‘incubation period.’ I want businesses to feel free to give it a shot.”

The council approved October as Brender’s “incubation” period for Brender to try to get his busi-ness started, using the Founders Day Park parking lot, for no more than two days a week, after which he will have to find another loca-tion.

The council also approved Cascade and Columbia River Railroad agreements related to the Bonaparte Creek water and sewer project, which includes $4,000 in one-time fees and a $740 annual fee; authorized the mayor to sign docu-ments for Strider Construction to begin the Bonaparte Creek/Mill Drive project; and approved the nomination of Claire Jeffko to fill Ed Jeffko’s position on the civil service commission. They also approved the issuance of $2.35 million in water revenue bonds for the water project through Cashmere Valley Bank, as written by the city’s bond counsel and contingent on review by city attorney Mick Howe.

The Tonasket City Council next meets on Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at city hall located at 209 S. Whitcomb.

District are being asked to give the okay to a three-year School Capital Projects Levy which would collect $400,000 in 2013, 2014 and 2015. The money would be used for capital improvements to the elementary school, the majority of which would fund a replacement of the roof which has had ongoing problems for several years. The levy collection rate would be 66 cents per $1000 of assessed property valuation.

The second issue in the Oroville area involves the Emergency Services District. Those living in town and outside in the Rural EMS are being separately asked to vote a replacement to the six-year EMS Levy of 25 cents per $1000 of assessed property valu-ation for emergency medical care and ambulance services.

Elsewhere in the county, Coulee Area Park and Recreation is asking for a special six-year maintenance and operations levy for its park facilities at 15 cents/$1000.

There are 14 state races Okanogan County voters will also

be asked to help decide. S i t t i n g g o v e r n o r Chr ist ine G r e g o i r e is stepping aside and Democrat Jay Inslee a n d Republican R o b McKenna are ask-ing for the state’s top spot. Brad Owen (D) and Bill Finkbeiner

(R) are seeking the job as Lieutenant Governor and Kim Whyman (R) and Kathleen Drew (D) want to be Secretary of State. For Treasurer, Jim McIntire (D) and Sharron Hanek (R ); for State Auditor, James Watkins (R) and Troy Kelley (D); State Attorney General, Bob Ferguson (D) and Reagan Dunn (R) and Insurance

Commissioner, Mike Kreidler (D) and John R. Adams (R). Randy I. Dorn is running unop-posed for reelection to the non-partisan office of Superintendent of Public Schools.

Peter J. Goldmark, a Democrat from Okanogan County, is asking to be reelected as Commissioner of Public Lands (head of the Department of Natural Resources). He faces a challenge from Republican Clint Didlier.

For those living in the Seventh District of the state, which includes most of North Okanogan County, incumbent Joel Kretz faces a challenge from fellow Republican Robert (Bob) Wilson for State Representative in Position 2. Shelly Short, the incumbent Representative in Position 1 is going unchallenged this election cycle. In the 12th District of the state, incumbent Senator Linda Parlette, a Republican will be returned to office in November. Both incumbent 12th District Representatives face challenges from fellow Republicans – Cary Condotta faces Stan Morse for

Position 1 and Mike Armstrong faces Brad Hawkins for Position 2.

In addition, to Democratic incumbent U.S. President Barak Obama and Vice President Joe Biden and their challengers Republicans Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, Okanogan County voters get to decide on two other national races – the race for U.S. Senator from Washington and Representative for the Fourth Congressional District. For the Senate race, incumbent Maria Cantwell, a Democrat, faces a challenge from Michael Baumgartner, a Republican. In the House race, incumbent Doc Hastings, a Republican, is challenged by Mary Baechler, a Democrat. Okanogan County voters who used to vote in the Fifth Congressional District, a position currently held by incum-bent Cathy McMorris Rodgers, where thrown back into Hasting’s Fourth District after redistricting which was based on population changes revealed in the 2010 U.S. Census.

‘Reinvigorating Downtown’ at next oroville chamber meeting

OROVILLE – While nor-mally the Oroville Chamber of Commerce meeting is held the sec-ond Thursday of the month, this

month it is this Thursday, Sept. 20 at 1 p.m. at The Plaza Restaurant.

The reason for the delay was because President Clyde Andrews and his wife Sandy attended a meeting in Pullman regarding rein-vigorating a city’s downtown.

“I will be presenting a discus-sion starter on reinvigorating downtown Oroville. Some of the information and inspiration for the presentation will come from the

one day conference I attended in Pullman that covered this topic,” said Andrews. “We will officially dismiss after one hour, but many of us may stick around just to throw out more ideas.”

The Plaza is located at 1412 Main St. in Oroville. All members, as well as the general public, are invited to attend. The meetings will return to the second Thursday at 1 p.m. at The Plaza in October.

DoE Press release

YAKIMA - Smoky skies contin-ue to blanket much of Central and Eastern Washington as a number of fires burn from the Canadian border to the Columbia River border with Oregon.

Smoke from the lightning-sparked wildfires is gather-ing in the foothills and valleys of the Cascade Range around Wenatchee, Ellensburg and Yakima and the ranges around Spokane, Clarkston and elsewhere in the Columbia Basin.

Over the next few days, air quality in some areas will improve during the day and degrade at night, while the reverse could be true for other areas. Smoke from wildfires in Idaho is likely to impact the far eastern part of the state as well. Though some relief is expected by late Friday, conditions conducive to further wildfire growth are possible on Saturday.

Crews from the U.S. Forest Service and the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) are battling the blazes,

with reinforcements brought in from across the nation.

Wildfires produce plenty of harmful smoke. The biggest threat to people’s health comes from the fine particles in smoke. These tiny particles can get into your eyes and lungs, where they can cause health problems such as burning eyes, runny nose and illness such as bronchitis. Fine particles also can aggravate heart and lung dis-eases, and even lead to death.

Weather influences how severe smoke impacts may be. If the air is stagnant, the concentration of fine particles increases in the air locally. If winds are blowing, they can move smoke rapidly to areas hundreds of miles downwind from a fire.

When smoke and fine parti-cle levels are high enough, even healthy people may be affected. To protect yourself, it’s important to limit your exposure to smoke ñ especially if you are susceptible. Here are some steps you can take:

The Washington State Department of Health recom-mends that people who are sensi-tive to air pollution limit the time

that they spend outdoors when smoke is in the air.

Children also are more suscep-tible to smoke because:

Their respiratory systems are still developing.

They breathe more air (and air pollution) per pound of body weight than adults.

They’re more likely to be active outdoors.

Pay attention to air qual-ity reports. The Washington Air Quality Advisory (WAQA) is the tool that that the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) uses to inform people about the health effects of air pollu-tion. WAQA includes informa-tion about ground-level ozone, fine particles and carbon monox-ide. WAQA is very similar to the EPAís Air Quality Index (AQI). Both use color-coded categories to show when air quality is good, moderate or unhealthy. The dif-ference is that WAQA shows that air quality is unhealthy when there are fewer particles in the air.

Use common sense. WAQA and AQI may not have immediate information on conditions in your

specific area. If it looks and smells smoky outside, it’s probably not a good time to go for a jog, mow the lawn or allow children to play outdoors.

If you have asthma or other lung disease, follow your doctorís directions on taking medicines and following your asthma man-agement plan. Call your doctor if your symptoms worsen.

If you have heart or lung dis-ease, if you are an older adult, or if you have children, talk with your doctor about whether and when you should leave the area. When smoke is heavy for a prolonged period of time, fine particles can build up indoors even though you may not see them.

Turn air-conditioning units to “recycle” mode so they don’t draw in outside air.

Don’t think that paper “com-fort” or “dust masks” are the answer. The kinds of masks that you commonly can buy at the hardware store are designed to trap large particles, such as saw-dust. But they generally will not protect your lungs from the fine particles in smoke.

OROVILLE - The 2012 County Celebration was a real success, bringing together local community members in sup-port of the Oroville Library.

There were about 80 people in attendance, and the attend-ees were very generous again in the silent auction.

The auction items ranged from a weekend stay at Lake Chelan to coupons for local Alpine Beer, to Copper Mountain and Lakecrest Wine, to an overflowing box of produce and wares from the Oroville Farmer’s Market ven-dors.

Local businesses were gen-erous with their donations, including donations from Princes, Hometown Pizza, Sonya’s, Oroville Pharmacy, Wells Fargo, High Mountain Farm, the Okanogan Valley Gazette-Tribune and others; the Library Board and the Friends of the Library group are appreciative of this support.

The American Legion Hall pro-vided the space for the event, which was also greatly appreci-ated.

During the event, Tory Shook, Library Board mem-ber, addressed the group dur-ing the Country Celebration. She asked the question, “What is the point of a community library?” She then shared that 730 hours were tallied for the student’s reading in the Summer Reading Program and related the idea that somewhere along the line, everyone in the room had learned and been encour-aged to read.

That started someplace: in school, at a library, or in the home, and the Oroville Community Library is here to sponsor, in an organized way, encouraging our local kids to read, according to Shook. She also noted that the children who attended the Summer Reading Program didn’t come to the library on their own; a family member brought them.

This demonstrates that these families value reading,

and value learning to use the library.

“Just about anyone in this room could go and research something online,” Shook said to the audience. “But where did you learn how to do research?”

Shook then emphasized the importance of learning to find information and find answers to your questions. And that’s what these kids had an oppor-

tunity to do this summer, at the Oroville Community Library. Those who attended the Country Celebration helped support these kinds of servic-es.

Throughout the event, people were entertained by the band, Broken Arrow, who played some good music.

The food was fabulous. People who didn’t come missed out on fabulous homemade lasagna, garden fresh salad with greens from SummerSong Farm and

local artisan bread. One man who was there to

contribute said, “This is the

best salad I have ever eaten.”

For dessert there was a beau-tiful assortment of cookies and bars to choose from.

Rick Braman, President of the Friends of the Library, talk-ed about the remodel of the library, and received a warm reception to the idea of remod-eling the library, using the existing footprint to bring the library into the 21st Century.

The group seemed positive and encouraged by this change of direction. The Oroville Library may be small, but it is empowered by the community.

Country Celebration brings people together to support library

Photos by Gary DeVon

Around 80 people gathered at the Oroville American Legion Post to join in the annual Country Celebration, a fundraiser for the Oroville Public Library. The celebration featured a lasagna dinner as well as silent auction.

Rick Braman, President of the Friends of the Library, talked about the planned remodel of the library using the existing footprint. He also spoke about how his late wife, a big supporter of the library, had endorsed a change from rebuilding a new library to renovating and remodeling the existing one.

Hippies on Vacation, a popular local band performed at the annual Country Celebration held last Saturday evening and hosted by the Oroville Friends of the Library and the library board.

Supporters of the Oroville Public Library place bids on the many silent auc-tion items donated by several local Oroville businesses.

THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF OROVILLE, TONASKET & OKANOGAN COUNTY

GAZETTE-TRIBUNESERVING WASHINGTON’S OKANOGAN VALLEY SINCE 1905

Washington Newspaper Publishers Association member

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

In November the people of Washington will vote on Initiative 1185. The measure would re-affirm the nearly 20-year old state law requiring that tax

i n c r e a s e s pass with a two-thirds vote in the Legislature or receive v o t e r approval.

If vot-ing on this r e q u i r e -ment feels like déjà vu all over again that’s

because it is.Voters in Washington have

enacted or confirmed the two-thirds vote requirement four times, in 1993, 1998, 2007 and 2010.

Requiring a supermajority vote in the legislature to increase taxes is not unique to our state. Eighteen states (counting Washington) have some form of supermajority vote require-ment for tax increases, includ-

ing Oregon and California. Of the states with supermajority tax limitations, however, only the requirements in Washington and Wisconsin were enacted as ordinary law. The requirements in all other the states are part of the state constitution.

Initiative 1185 allows voters to clearly frame the state’s bud-get debate. Washington bud-get writers face a projected $1 billion budget shortfall for the 2013-15 biennium, despite pro-jected revenue growth of $1.5 billion. Without a two-thirds vote restriction, the legislature is likely to consider passing sub-stantial tax increases.

If voters pass Initiative 1185, however, lawmakers will shift away from trying to raise taxes and focus on fundamental bud-get reform and restructuring state spending.

Aside from the budget impact, if the two thirds vote require-ment is adopted for the fifth time, constitutional reform is still needed. The voters have voiced their support for a two-thirds vote restriction on four separate occasions, only to have

the legislature routinely suspend these requirements.

Some will say this recom-mendation is tied to the recent Court challenge to the law. Undeterred by four straight losses at the ballot box, oppo-nents of the supermajority vote requirement for tax increases are once again trying to have the voter-approved requirement declared unconstitutional. The State Supreme Court is sched-uled to hear oral argument on September 25 challenging the law. A ruling is expected to be issued sometime before the 2013 Legislative Session.

Washington Policy Center has long recommended letting the people vote on whether to make the two-thirds requirement part of the constitution. Should the Court (as it has done the three previous times) reject the chal-lenge to the nearly 20-year old statutory requirement enacted by the people and legislature on multiple occasions, this ques-tion should still be referred to the voters one last time. This would let us get off this seem-ingly endless merry-go-round of

passing the same law over and over again, so we can get some certainty on this policy.

A constitutional amendment would provide the public and businesses with predictability about whether this tax protec-tion will exist from year to year and whether or not the four-time (pending fifth) approval of the voters for this policy was a fluke or actually reflects their consistent and ongoing desire for lawmakers to build a strong public consensus on the need for any proposed tax increase.

With voters and lawmakers repeatedly enacting the superm-ajority vote for taxes require-ment over the past 20 years, what could be more represen-tative of the public will than allowing a vote of the people on a constitutional amendment to help end this debate once and for all?

Jason Mercier is the government reform director at Washington Policy Center, a non-partisan independent policy research orga-nization in Washington state. For more information, visit washing-tonpolicy.org.

Not crazy for either one

Dear Gary:Thank-you for giving us the

“ol’ fer and agin” letters last week. You should have plenty of oppor-tunities to do the same thing in the near future.

I for one am not crazy to vote for either one of our choices for president. I will vote for one of them but the candidates are both distasteful to me. One only slight-ly less so. I’ve been around long enough to know that what the candidates tell us on the stump is not likely going to be what we get after the election.

In reference to Mr. Brunell’s opinion about hauling coal across our state, I say, “go big railroad guys!” If the Sierra Club had their way we would all be sit-ting in the dark eating sticks and twigs. If China wants Montana and Wyoming coal, Washington should at least ship it. If not us, who? Why, Canada, of course. A rail line north across the border and straight west to Vancouver is a pretty simple deal. Canada already ships plenty of energy sources to the Far East. If the money is there for jobs and taxes, why not us? And there may come a time when we need control

over what is shipped to China and other countries burning our nasty coal.

I’m just sayin’,Gai WisdomOroville

A breach in wisdom

Dear Gary,There is a breach in the wisdom

that has held humanity together

for the last one thousand years or so.

We must choose whether or not to follow the Path to Wisdom until a brightly shining door becomes visible, or shall we fol-low an easier path that in all probability leads to a dead end?

To follow the right path we must discard the psychological eye glasses that we wear which guides us to living life with tun-nel vision.

When the right door is opened

we will see and feel an energetic enlightenment that has never been present in our lives before. We must hold that door open with all the strength and intel-ligence we can bring to bear so that those from future genera-tions who follow us will be able to see the Path to Wisdom, and whose presence will enthusiasti-cally welcome a new beginning for themselves and humanity.

Ray GattavaraSumner, Wash.

Opinion byJason Mercier

End the debate on supermajority requirement for state taxes

The Tonasket City Council has been approached asking it to consid-er allowing the use of ATVs on the city’s streets. Although intriguing - who wouldn’t want to hop on their four-wheeler to run to town to get

their mail, rent a movie or buy a loaf of bread, the council will have to balance that with public safety and variety of other considerations.

The proponents of the request cite their use in Conconully and Okanogan and say with the county commissioners help and some planning, it might be a another way to connect town with outlying communities and recreation areas like Loomis. Bringing more business to any downtown area is important for a community. More shoppers mean more dollars turning over – more profit, more jobs and more sales tax revenue for the town.

Opponents, or those who are just unsure at this stage of the discussion, worry about safety -- more traffic and more noise. Even if there are criteria for riding in town, such as age limits,

helmet use and vehicles having to meet certain noise restrictions, it will mean more law enforcement challenges for the Tonasket Police Force.

At the Tuesday, Sept. 11 Tonasket City Council meeting, one person said the ATVs would be no less safe than motorcycles. That may be, but motorcycles riders are required to get an endorsement on their driver’s license – is the same required for ATV riders? That is something for the council to consider. And even with an endorsement, motorcyclists are hit by those in cars, trucks, etc. all too often. When on a motorcycle you have to learn to ride like you’re invisible to traffic because to “cag-ers” you often are – ATV riders will have to do the same. The sugges-tion they use a flag in town is a good one and other precautions could be worked out if the city decides to embrace the idea.

I know Mayor Patrick Plumb suggested a town hall meeting to discuss the issue further. It might be good to talk with the people in Okanogan and Conconully about how it works for their towns. Conconully seems like a natural, they’re already used to snowmobiles in the winter. Okanogan seems like it might be a trickier situation. But, unlike Tonasket, neither has to deal with a state highway dividing the two halves of town.

Do the positives of more business potential and a greater draw for tourists outweigh the concerns over safety and added policing? The council has a lot to consider and maybe more research to do about how this works in other rural cities. That and a town hall meeting would be good first steps. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

On another subject: We spent last week getting the regularly sched-uled, repeating meetings like Tonasket and Oroville city councils, school and hospital board meetings on the website calendar. We’d like everyone with an event to know they may place them on the cal-endar themselves by going to www.gazette-tribune.com and clicking Calendar at the top of the page. Add Your Event is displayed and from there just fill in the blanks. Make sure to include contact info, date, time and location. This is a great resource for clubs with special events like fundraisers and benefits. You upload the information, we’ll get an email and if it meets our criteria -- no yard sales or for-profit business type events, we’ll approve it and it will show up on the calendar. This is especially good for repeating events like club meetings.

Are ATV’s on the street a good fit for Tonasket?

By suzanne dailey Howard

These last few days of summer are indeed “short and sweet”, a magical time we long to capture and savor. How best to do this brings us to the philosophical question of the week; “to can or not to can?”

At Tonasket Farmers’ Market you have plenty of choices. One-stop shopping provides the fresh-est produce for home canning and freezing, and there are jars of already preserved goodies to pop into your market basket and fill your home pantry. You don’t even have to travel the whole length of the market, as two side-by-side booths can provide everything you

will need.Mary Capote, of Capote Orchards

in Oroville, offers a cornucopia of colorful produce. Take advantage of cooler daytime temperatures to put some up for the winter. Fruits available for the water bath canner include nectarines, peaches, white peaches, honey crisp apples, pears and grapes. If you have a pressure

cooker, try canning her vegetables; carrots, tomatoes, beans, sweet peppers and hot peppers. Be cre-ative! Mix together several fruits or several vegetables and preserve the resulting medley of flavors. Mary’s concord grapes reminded me of the grape jelly my grandmother made from the bounty of our back-yard vines, so jelly making is my project this week.

If home canning isn’t part of your schedule, visit Val Welles’ booth right next door to Mary. Her “Fat Cat” brand of jams, jellies and pickles can’t be beat for flavor or convenience. Talk about creative; she is a master at blending flavors, just try her sweet pepper, hot pep-per and nectarine jam. Val is one of the original market vendors, now in her 14th season. You name it and she does it. Her motto is “If you can’t jam it or jelly it, pickle it!” Her offerings include raspberry, nectarine, tomato and zucchini chutney, ratatouille, peach, etc., etc., etc.

So, can or not to can, you decide. Either way, I’ll see you at the mar-ket!

SCHOOL NEWS & MENUSBy AudrA FullertOnasket pOliCe Dept.

Many individuals have misun-derstandings about how Radar units work, how the officers use them and under what circum-stances they are and can be used. Here are some common misun-derstandings and myths about Radar for traffic/speed control.

MYTH: “The Radar must have my speed locked in to make it a legal stop.”

Normally we try to lock the speed in yet it’s not always possi-ble to get it at that exact moment. We certify and declare the speed we saw your vehicle driving was true and accurate. We sign to this effect and put our training and experience on the line for it.

MYTH: “Certain colors of vehicles get more tickets, or are stopped more.”

Well I can’t speak for other towns, cities or highways, yet this is not a fact in Tonasket! The Radar tracks by speed, regardless of color, year, make, size, etc.

M I SU N D E R S TA N D I N G : “Why did the officer stop me out of a group of other cars?”

There are certain criteria that an officer uses when determining which vehicle is actually giving the speed shown on the Radar. It’s too involved to go into here but suffice it to say it’s possible to pick a car out of a group, it’s just difficult. The more experienced and better trained the officer is, the easier it becomes.

All the officers in Tonasket

and Okanogan County are high-ly trained, have on-going train-ing and have their Radar units checked at consistent intervals. All the units are calibrated at least twice per day, everyday an officer is on duty.

M I SU N D E R S TA N D I N G : “How far over the speed limit can I go before being stopped?”

This depends on a multitude of factors. Typically it’s anything six miles per hour (mph) and over the speed limit is going to get you stopped. On the side streets of Tonasket there are so many people, kids and animals that going anything over the limit of 25 mph is unreasonable and unsafe.

There are also streets in Tonasket that are only 15 mph and one (7th St.) that is 20 mph. The school zones are a hot spot as there is no way a person can stop a vehicle going over the limit of 20 mph if a child runs out in front of it. Through town the limit is 25 mph and especially with semi trucks, or trucks pull-ing trailers (horse or boat) it’s very difficult if even possible to stop at the crosswalks going any-where over the limit of 25 mph. Another factor is the weather and whether there are any events

going on in and around town. If you are stopped and are

unsure why, please feel free to ask the officer, politely, what the circumstances were surrounding that decision. If you were going 35 mph in a 25 mph speed zone you may not have to ask why.

MYTH: “Radar detectors pre-vent tickets.”

Definitely untrue. Driving the speed limit will prevent you from getting a ticket. Radar units in

police cars have defeated every brand and sort of Radar detec-tor out there on the market. The Radar units in the police cars have a hold, or “instant” fea-ture which allows the officer to determine when to release the beam. This keeps a radar detec-tor from picking up the police Radar until it’s too late, as when the beam is released the speed is instantly clocked even as your radar detector tracks it.

CONCUNULLY - We still have a few fishermen in camp and they are catching some nice rainbow trout.

Eight-year-old Sophie Wyne from Renton, Wash. caught a 17 inch rainbow, weighing 2.2 pounds.

She was fishing off our dock using night crawlers. Bill Smith

and Dave Peebles caught three nice 17 inch rainbow over by the dam.

They were using green Power Bait and a special Lunker Lotion Dave makes up to the soften the power bait. Dave can catch fish in a mud puddle, he always out fishes everybody else.

Hunting season starts pretty soon so I expect more fishermen coming in soon.

TONASKET - Tonasket struggled to hold onto the ball on Friday during its Caribou Trail League opener with Brewster, but managed to overcome seven fumbles in defeating the Bears 40-14 on the Tigers’ home field.

With smoke filling the Okanogan River valley from fires in the Wenatchee area, the Tigers fumbled the ball away seven times but made up for it by picking off Brewster quarterback Parker Landeck six times and recovering a pair of Brewster fumbles.

“Our defense rescued us all night from our ball-handling troubles,” said Tonasket coach Jay Hawkins. “Our defense did a nice job of executing the game plan.”

Austin Booker had three interceptions, with Collin Aitcheson, Dalton Wahl and Ian Young each picking off a pass.

Booker returned one of his 33 yards for a touchdown to end Brewster’s first possession of the second half and give the Tigers a 21-7 lead.

“Booker’s pick-six really provided us with great momentum,” Hawkins said. “We never looked back.”

Landeck threw the ball 56 times, com-pleting 21 for 234 yards, but never found

the end zone.Despite turning the ball over seven

times themselves, the Tigers racked up 237 yards on the ground led by Michael Orozco with 119 yards and two touch-downs on 11 carries.

Tonasket opened the scoring in the first quarter on a 17-yard pass from Trevor Terris to Derek Sund. Orozco’s 48-yard touchdown run early in the second gave the Tigers a two touchdown lead.

Brewster scored its only offensive touchdown of the night on a 1-yard Tyce Windle run.

The Tigers led 14-7 at the half, but broke it open in the third quarter on Booker’s interception, a 32-yard Orozco run and a 2-yard run by Booker.

Cade Smith returned a fumble 70 yards for Brewster’s second score in the fourth quarter, but Jeff Stedtfeld got those points back with a 16-yard run to complete the scoring.

Terris had 65 yards through the air on 4-of-9 passing with no interceptions.

Despite the turnovers, the Tigers improved significantly over the previous two weeks by reducing their penalties to just three for 15 yards.

“I was proud of how the kids fought through the adversity in the first half,” said Hawkins.

The Tigers (3-0, 1-0 CTL) see the level of difficulty go up significantly this Friday when they host Okanogan (2-1, 1-0), which opened CTL play with a 21-6 victory over Chelan.

The Bulldogs’ one loss came by one point in overtime to defending state champion Connell.

OROVILLE - Oroville’s football team scored first and last against visiting Davenport on Friday, Sept. 15.

But what happened in the middle turned out to be the deciding factor as the Gorillas’ pulled away to a 41-14 vic-tory in the Hornets’ final non-conference game before Central Washington 2B League play begins this week.

The Gorillas didn’t take their first lead until one minute remaining in the first half, and the Hornets trailed 20-7 head-ing to the fourth quarter.

But Davenport’s tightly-packed dou-ble-wing offense finally wore down the Hornets, who had trouble getting off the field quickly against the Gorilla’s method-ical approach all game. Davenport, which had been getting about four to five yards per play through much of the game, broke off several big runs against the tired Oroville defense in the fourth quar-ter.

The Hornets, who through the first two games had struggled offensively, looked to have things clicking as sopho-more Dustin Nigg ran for 49 yards in the first half, using his speed to bounce outside for yardage. That helped keep the pressure off quarterback Luke Kindred, who completed his first two passes, and gave Tanner Smith room to run as his 19-yard jaunt set up the Hornets’ first score early in the second quarter.

Logan Mills’ 1-yard plunge finished off a 49-yard drive, and Nigg’s PAT gave the Hornets a 7-0 lead.

Derik Oliver scored the first of his four touchdowns with five minutes left in the half. The Hornet’s next possession started well enough as Kindred broke

off a 20-yard run, but ended badly with a partially blocked punt setting up the Gorillas’ go-ahead score.

It went from bad to worse as Nigg was injured early in the second half and returned only to kick the Hornets’ extra point in the final minutes of the fourth

quarter.The Hornets were outgained 308-170

for the game, but actually held the advan-tage in yards gained at the half, 118-113.

Nigg finished as the team’s leading rusher with 46 yards on eight carries. Kindred, who was sacked four times in

the second half and running for his life on most every pass play, finished 6-of-17 for 46 yards and one interception, with Smith catching four balls for 41 yards.

Oliver ran for 159 yards on 18 carries while Wyatt Evers added 96 yards on four carries. The two combined for 168

yards on 10 carries in the second half, including three touchdown runs of 30 yards or more.

Smith’s 74-yard punt return for a touchdown provided the Hornets’ sec-ond score with three minutes remaining.

Defensively, Angel Camacho was in on 10 tackles, Smith was in on eight, Mills was in on six, Jake Scott had six tackles and a sack, and Boone McKinney recov-ered a fumble.

The Hornets (1-2) open CWL play Friday, Sept. 21, at home against Kittitas (0-2). Despite their record, the Hornets should be contenders for a playoff spot as they are one of just two of the seven CWL teams to have won a non-league game in the season’s first three weeks. White Swan (2-1) is the other; the CWL as a league is just 3-16 against out-of-conference opponents.

MOSES LAKE - Oroville’s Sierra Speiker won her third straight title at the Moses Lake Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 15, to highlight

performances by the Hornets and Tonasket at the first major meet of the season.

Speiker finished the full 5k course with a time of 19:09 to win by 23 seconds over Riverside’s Delaney McMahon.

Also running for the Oroville girls were Lisa Hartvig (85th, 26:32), Aya Cruspero (109th, 32:05) and Celene Cisneros (110th, 32:34). Cruspero and Cisneros cut two minutes off their times from the Tonasket Invitational a week earlier despite the Moses Lake course being about 200 meters longer.

With only four girls running, Oroville was not able to score as a team.

Tonasket’s girls finished 14th of 15 scoring teams. Jessica Puente led the way with a 60th place finish (24:07). Also finishing were Giesa Seidler (85th, 27:48), Vanessa Pershing (98th, 28:58), Claire Thornton (100th, 29:03) and Corrina Karrer (112th, 35:39).

For the Tonasket boys, Oscar Avilez finished 52nd (18:35) to lead the Tigers. Adam Halvorsen (82nd, 19:41), Adrian McCarthy (107th,

20:48), Smith Condon (116h, 21:45), Lawrence Wambug (124th, 22:52) and Abe Podkranic (128th, 25:34) also ran the var-sity race, while Jordan Hughes (130th, 25:56) and Dallin Good (139th, 27:33) ran the freshman / sophomore JV race.

Diego Santana (120th, 22:20) was the lone Oroville male to run.

Note: Last week’s article about the Tonasket Invitational mistak-enly listed Sierra Speiker’s winning time as being 19:53. Her actual time was 17:53.

Oroville, Tigers run at Moses Lake Sierra Speiker wins third straight title


Megan Moralez heads the ball over a Bridgeport defender, but can’t quite get it past Fillie goalkeeper Ericelda Dominguez in the second half of last Thursday’s contest.


OROVILLE - Oroville’s girls soccer team played a solid sec-ond half in its home opener on Thursday, Sept. 13, generating plenty of offensive chances and allowing just two goals.

Unfortunately, the Hornets trailed 6-0 at the half, having allowed three goals in the open-ing eight minutes of play to dig an insurmountable hole and fell 8-0.

“Our defensive line has two new players, and it really showed,” said Oroville coach Laura Kinman. “It will take some time for them to get accustomed to each other.”

Though the Hornets ended up without a score, they did have several legitimate scoring chanc-

es in the second half, including a number by Kaitlyn Grunst, who had a free kick go off the cross-bar, as well as a penalty kick that went wide.

Megan Moralez’s aggressive play also resulted in several near-scoring chances.

“The girls definitely played more offense in the second half,” Kinman said. “Our midfielders were able to create more oppor-tunities for the forwards. We had good shots on goal, and were very unlucky to not ‘finish.’”

The Hornets (0-2) were sched-uled to face Manson on Tuesday, Sept. 18, then host Entiat on Sept. 20.

“The girls are very much improving,” Kinman said. “They have a ‘never give up’ attitude they should be proud of.”

Liberty Bell 10, Oroville 1

WINTHROP - Liberty Bell, looking more and more like a Central Washington League title contender with every out-ing, took it to a young Oroville girls soccer squad playing its first game of the season on Sept. 11, 10-1.

The Mountain Lions, who had already played a pre-season jam-boree and three regular season games, scored early and often to take control of the game with the Hornets.

Seven Liberty Bell players scored as the Mountain Lions built an 8-0 halftime lead.

Kaitlyn Grunst scored in the second half for Oroville (0-1).

TONASKET - Tonasket came back from dropping its first two sets against Quincy on Saturday, Sept. 15, forcing a fifth set before falling to the Jackrabbits.

Quincy took the CTL match 25-15, 25-15, 23-25, 20-25, 15-9.

“Tonight my juniors stepped up their games and played really well,” said Tonasket coach Jackie Gliddon. “The girls hung in there; however, they fell short.”

The Tigers (2-2, 0-2 CTL) host Omak on Tuesday and play at Cascade on Saturday, Sept. 22.

Stats:Carrisa Frazier - 21-24 serving

9 aces, and 1 kill; Amber Monroe 12-15 serving, 3 aces and 3 kills; Savannah Clinedinst 10-10 serv-ing, 2 aces and 3 kills; Devan Utt 10-13, 2 aces, 7 kills; Sadie Long 2 kills; Shea Smith 1 kill.

OKANOGAN - Tonasket opened up its Caribou Trail League season at Okanogan on Tuesday, Sept. 11, with a 25-19, 25-20, 25-19 loss to the Bulldogs.

“I am pleased at how far the girls have come and handled themselves on the court,” said Tonasket coach Jackie Gliddon.

“Although we lost, our play improved. The girls hustled and worked well together on the court.

“The fundamentals and men-tal game are improving,” Gliddon said. “I’m very proud of them.”

Stats:Ahlia Young 14-14 serving, 2

kills; Jenny Bello 6-6 serving, 1 kill; Sadie Long 5 kills; and Devan Utt 4 kills.

OROVILLE - The Oroville vol-leyball team had Entiat just where the Hornets wanted them.

The Hornets took a 2-1 lead against the visiting Tigers on Saturday, Sept. 15, but couldn’t finish off the victory. Entiat came back to claim a 19-25, 25-18, 18-25, 25-23, 15-11 triumph.

“(It) was a suspenseful one, to say the least,” said Oroville coach Stacey Hinze. “We had some players really step it up and give us 110 percent.”

Despite the loss, the Hornets’ (0-4) two set wins gave them six for the year through four match-es, equaling their total for their 16-game season last year.

“We were disappointed not to have taken the win,” Hinze said. “But we will use this and keep working on improving our play-ing.”

Stats: Bridget Clark 15 digs; Monica Herrera 12 digs; Rachelle Nutt 8 digs; Brittany Jewett 6 kills, assist leader; Nadia Maldonado 6 kills; Jessica Galvan 7 digs, 2 kills.

Waterville 3, Oroville 1

WATERVILLE - Oroville’s vol-leyball team made the long trip to Waterville, only to come home

with a four set loss to the Shockers on Thursday, Sept. 13.

“Unfortunately (they) did not bring home a win,” Hinze said of the Hornets’ 22-25, 14-25, 25-19, 13-25 loss. “It was a disappoint-ment, but a well-deserved win for the Shockers, who worked hard.”

Stats: Andrea Perez 4 kills; Rachelle Nutt 3 kills; Nadia Maldonado 10 digs; Brittany Jewett 6 digs; Monica Herrera 6 digs.

Republic 3, Oroville 1

REPUBLIC - Oroville won its first set at Republic on Sept. 6, and had a shot at taking a com-manding 2-0 lead, but couldn’t pull out the second set and wound up losing in four.

The Tigers came back for a 19-25, 25-23, 25-14, 25-6 victory.

“(They) played an amazing first and second set,” Hinze said, “playing as a team and keeping up the intensity. They also had some great volleys that yielded high kills for the ladies.

“Unfortunately this game did not result in a win, but was a great learning experience.”

Stats: Whitney Rounds 9 kills; Andrea Perez 7 kills; Brittany Jewett 7 kills, 5 digs; Bridget Clark 4 kills; Monica Herrera 6 digs.

Oh, so close for Hornets

Catie Arrigoni, a 2011 Oroville graduate running for Everett Community College, earned a ninth-place finish at the prestigious Sundodger Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 15.


SEATTLE - The University of Washington’s Sundodger Invitational is billed as the state’s most prestigious college-level cross country race.

There are actually three races - college invitational, college/open and high school. Two recent Oroville High School graduates, running for Everett Community College, competed in the open race, which was populated pri-marily by NCAA Division II, Division III, NAIA and commu-nity college runners.

Catie Arrigoni, a sophomore running in the event for the sec-ond time, raced to a ninth-place finish in a field of 217 women, clocking a time of 22:37.42 in the 6k race. She was the third finish-er for her squad as Everett took team runner-up honors out of 19 competing teams. It was a huge

step forward for Arrigoni, who cut 1:04 off her last year’s time there, where she finished 57th. She didn’t start running until her senior year of high school but finished fifth at the WIAA 1B/2B state finals that year behind teammate and state champ Sierra Speiker.

Zack Speiker, a freshman, finished 62nd in a field of 236 (26:21.87, 8k distance), breaking into the top five for Everett as his team finished third out of 22.

Others competing that had area connections included Seattle Pacific University seniors A.J. Baker (lived and trained in Tonasket last summer) and Seth Pierson (Cashmere) who placed 10th and 51st, respectively, as the Falcons took second at the meet.

Everett will be competing Saturday, Sept. 22, at the Runner’s Soul / Eric Anderson Invitational at Plantes Ferry Park in Spokane. Also running in the collegiate race

for Spokane Falls Community College will be Tonasket fresh-man Damon Halvorsen and Omak freshman Michael Goble.

Halvorsen, recovering from an injury, will be running his first collegiate race if all goes as planned.

Senators call for help in wake of storm damage

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a letter sent to President Obama Monday, U.S. Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray urged swift approval of a major disaster decla-ration for parts of NE Washington in the wake of severe July storm damage. The major disaster dec-laration was requested by Gov. Christine Gregoire on Sept. 7 for Ferry and Okanogan counties and the Colville Reservation.

On July 20 severe thunder-storms hit the region, resulting in flash flooding and significant damage to residential and com-mercial property. Strong winds up to 90 mph knocked out power and phone service and a dam-aged storm sewer prevented local access to clean water for several days. The storm significantly impacted timber, resulting in a $1 million loss for the state DNR and a $2 million loss for Tribe. One person was also killed in Ferry County.

Tyler ATkinSTyler Atkins, 81, of Tonasket

passed away from lung cancer on Sept. 11. He was born on Nov. 30, 1930. Raised in Ballard but heart and family grew in Tonasket.

Tyler is survived by his chil-dren: Tom, Patricia and Pamela. He also has his two granddaugh-ters: Michelle and Keri; as well at two great granddaughters: Rhianna and Kyla.

Tyler can now join his love Millie, who passed away in 1980, and his family and friends.
