Inslee inks $2.2 billion COVID relief bill

Gov. Jay Inslee on Friday signed House Bill 1368, which appropriates $2.2 billion in federal funding that has been allocated to states in response to the ongoing COVID emergency. The legislation takes effect immediately.

“Our focus this year is relief, recovery and resilience, and this legislation will help us make tremendous progress in all of those areas. Washingtonians have been exemplary in helping limit the spread of COVID-19, but it has not come without its economic and emotional costs,” Inslee said. “The process of getting to a post-pandemic era has already begun, and we will come out of this stronger because of legislation like what I am signing today.”

In December, Inslee asked the Legislature to act early on COVID relief legislation, and the Legislature responded with HB 1368, which addresses a host of needs facing Washingtonians right now.

The bill provides: $714 million in assistance for K-12 schools $618 million for public health’s response to COVID, including testing, investigation and contact tracing; and funding for vaccination efforts $365 million for emergency eviction, rental and utility assistance $240 million for business assistance grants $50 million for child care $26 million for food banks and other food programs $91 million for income assistance, including $65 mil-

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com SOUTH BEND – It was befitting that the RaymondSouth Bend Ravens combined football team played their inaugural game on President's Day as history was made last Monday (Feb. 15) before a small crowd on a rainy day on a mudfilled Millam Field in South Bend. The Ravens did not

disappoint their fans while winning on a late touchdown. Raymond-South Bend splashed and splattered its way past Ilwaco's Fishermen 24-13.

“The biggest key to our win was just not giving up and battling to the final whistle,” Raven Assistant Football Coach Mike Tully told the Herald. “We made some mistakes in key situations

early, but we were able to wear them down as the game went on and were finally able to get some breaks to go our way in the fourth quarter.”

With the exception of a few plays, Raymond's defense shut down Ilwaco's offense.

“I think we had a pretty good gameplan going in,” Tully said. “We knew who their top guys were and geared up our defense to try to stop them. About half of their total yardage on offense came on the 99-yard touchdown run when we had a chance to stop the runner in the backfield.”

The Ravens scored the winning touchdown with 1:54 left in the game on a quick pass sweep play from Adrian Quintana to Joseph Villalpando, who caught the ball at the line of scrimmage and then raced 44 yards down the right side untouched. The 2-point conversion run was stopped and the Ravens led 6-0.

“It was just one of our basic sweep plays,” Tully said. “It is the first one we

The Ravens scored first on their first play from scrimmage on a flashy 62-yard run by halfback Josh Johnson when he darted off right tackle and raced down the sideline.

Ilwaco went in front on a 99-yard racehorse run by Dylan Simonson on a 3rd and 14. Simonson broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage and was gone free to the endzone.

The kick made it 7-6 early in the first quarter.

The Fishermen took a 13-6 lead with 8:17 to go in the third quarter on a 34yard scamper by freshman halfback Kaemon Sawa. The PAT was blocked.

Raymond-South Bend's Deleak Hubbard bolted free off left guard for a 47-yard touchdown run with 7:58 left to play, but the 2-point run attempt was fumbled on a missed handoff, so IHS led 13-12.

The Pe Ell-Willapa Valley Titans went into Friday night's season-opening gridiron game against a huge, veteran Toledo team with a double-whammy going against them. One, the Titans were heavily outsized, and two, they had to play the game without their best player on offense and defense after Kollin Jurek was lost for the season with a severe knee injury suffered during practice last week. Jurek, who was First Team All-Pacific League last year as a junior at running back and linebacker, is having surgery this week.

Titan Assistant Coach John Peterson addressed the loss of Jurek, a 5-10, 190pound senior, who was one of the team captains. Last season Jurek accounted for 12 touchdowns and 1,019 all-purpose yards on offense and 55 tackles, 2 interceptions and 2 fumble recoveries on defense for the 6-4 Titans.

“Kollin is a great kid.

It just breaks my heart for him. He injured his knee badly. He broke his tibia about the size of a 50-cent piece. I'm sick for him. It's heartbreaking. He's got six months of rehab ahead of him. He's a good guy and a great teammate. It breaks my heart.”

tions Committee. "As we approach the budgeting process, we are keeping our focus on investments that equitably address the needs in struggling communities and help families and small businesses get through this current stage of the pandemic.”

Inslee Expanded COVID Testing for School Districts The governor announced the Department of Health, in partnership with the nonprofit Health Commons Project, would be expanding the state's COVID testing programs for schools as more districts begin to return to the classroom.

Last Tuesday's (Feb. 16) announcement will add about 50 school districts to the 13 that were previously implementing testing strategies with help from the state.

Districts decide how to implement testing strategies and who is eligible for the voluntary tests. The state has also published a “Learn to Return” playbook to help school districts plan for safe reopening and monitoring of COVID activity.

Last Thursday, Inslee continued to encourage getting more students back

"I continue to be impressed by the growing number of districts progressing in a safe return to in-person learning. Educators and students are committed to making this work," Inslee said.

Lawrence “Larry” Sienko Jr passed away peacefully on January 24, 2021. He was 81 years old.

Larry was born April 23, 1939, in Raymond, Wash., to Lawrence and Mary (Drevniak) Sienko. He attended Valley High School and graduated in 1957, participating in many sports.

A basketball highlight for Larry was when he and his team defeated the state #1 rated team in a game that went down in state tournaLawrence “Larry” Sienko Jr ment history as one of the all-time thrillers, with Larry swishing the clincher shot with seven seconds to go and crowd stood up and roared. Many of Larry’s school mates became his life-long friends and Larry always enjoyed his annual class reunions.

After high school Larry enlisted in the Army Reserves, honorably served for six years, and began working for Weyerhaeuser, spending most of his career as a log scaler in the sorting yard in Raymond. Larry married Myra Portmann in 1959 in Frances, Washington and they had four daughters.

They were members of the St. Lawrence Catholic Church and the Lewis Pacific Swiss Society.

After he retired from Weyerhaeuser in 1995, Larry enjoyed managing his tree farms, operating a commercial skidder and consulting work on timber thinning. Larry loved the outdoors and was always up to something whether it was planting trees, clearing land, harvesting Christmas trees, making firewood, damming up creeks, building lakes, trout farms, hunting elk and deer, trapping, fishing, clam digging, peeling bark, picking ferns, cones, wild berries and mushrooms. Each year Larry had a garden and would drop off strawberries or buckets of vegetables to family and friends. Larry would often talk about these experiences and liked to share what he learned along the way with his kids and grandkids.

Larry was locally renowned for his almost encyclopedic knowledge of timbering. He was a member of the Pacific County Forestry Association for many years, awarded Tree Farmer of the Year in 1975, and again in 1999 in recognition of outstanding stewardship and forest management in Pacific County for the 18 acre tree farm he planted in 1976.

Larry was preceded in death by his mother, father, brother George and brother Frank. Larry is survived by his sister Irene (Inglin) and her husband Bob, his four daughters Jean (Cobbs), Carla (Keeler), Celia and Janelle, four grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, two nephews, eleven nieces and several great nieces and nephews.

Larry will be dearly missed by his family and friends.

A graveside service will be held on Saturday April 24th at 1:00 pm at Fern Hill Cemetery in Menlo. A reception (location to be determined) will follow. Arrangements are in care of Stoller’s Mortuary in Raymond, Washington. You may visit www.StollersMortuary.com to leave condolences for the family.

In Loving Memory of Jeannette Aileen Bridges

Jeannette Aileen (Galey) Bridges was born on September 15, 1933, in Raymond, Washington, to Lawrence and Nellie Galey, the original owners of Galey’s Grocery in East Raymond.

She passed away gently and peacefully at home in Las Vegas, Nevada, on January 28, 2021, at the age of 87.

She was surrounded by her two children and husband of 66 years for the days preceding and at the moment of her death.

Jeannette Aileen Bridges Jeannette was the younger sister of Lorraine (Galey) Ralston. As a child, she was curious, active, and loved her big sister, friends, cousins, and family members. She enjoyed living in the family farmhouse on Oldani Road, tending the family garden, cows, chickens, horses, cats, and dogs.

She graduated from Willapa Valley High School in 1951.

She played tenor saxophone in the dance band, was a yell leader, and a conscientious student. She was salutatorian of her class and was selected as graduation speaker. Following high school, Jeannette attended Holy Names College in Spokane, Washington, for one year. She returned to Raymond, Washington, to work in the automobile industry; eventually becoming Office Manager for the Willapa Harbor Motor Company. She married her lifelong friend (they met as toddlers), Lonald “Corky” Bridges, on October 9, 1954, in Raymond, Washington, at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. (Who knew that the boy who chased you around the tree at the age of three would become your husband.) They soon welcomed two children, son Monte Bridges in 1957 and daughter Julee (Bridges) Grabinski in 1959.

Jeannette and her family lived in Redmond and Ellensburg, Washington. She was a devoted mother and wife and is remembered lovingly as a trusted confidant, immaculate caretaker, exquisite home cook, and kind friend who wel-

In Loving Memory of Howard Norman Lee

Howard Norman Lee passed away Saturday, February 13, 2021, at the Alder House in South Bend, WA; he was 95. He was born August 5, 1925, to William and Mable (Jennings) Lee in Seattle, Washington.

Howard was a member of the V.F.W. and a veteran of World War II serving as a Corpsman 1st Class.

He enjoyed woodworking, gardening, and going on long car rides with his kids.

Howard left Cleveland High Howard Norman Lee School in Seattle at the age of 17 to join the Navy. He took part in the invasion of Okinawa on April 1, 1945. He received an honorary military veterans diploma from Willapa Valley High School in 2005. After the war, he worked as an appliance repairman for Sears Roebuck in Seattle until 1965. At that point, he was tired of city living and he moved his family to Lebam and later Menlo. He worked as a residential electrician locally for many years. In the mid1970’s he owned and operated the Hilltop Tavern in East Raymond. After retirement, he worked part-time for the Port of Willapa spending hours and hours mowing lawns on Port property.

Howard was preceded in death by his wife Jean, both his parents, and his daughter Janet Roberts. He is survived by daughters Nancy Lee of Yelm, Marilyn (Keith) Van Etten of Spanaway, Linda (Bob) Smith of Montesano, Kristi (Pinky) Freeman of Raymond, his son Michael (Amy) Lee of South Bend, son-in-law Pete Roberts of Lewiston, Idaho, 13 grandchildren, and numerous great and great-greatgrandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Alder House at P.O. Box 1400, South Bend, WA 98586. Arrangements are in care of Stoller’s Mortuary in Raymond, Washington. You may visit www.StollersMortuary.com to leave condolences for the family. A private graveside service with honors will be held at a later date.

comed all. She was a spiritual and prayerful woman and a lifelong devoted Catholic. In Ellensburg, as her children grew older, she worked as a sales associate at a local women’s clothing store, Terrace Fashions, and supported seasonal college course registration processes at Central Washington University. She moved to Spokane, Washington, with Corky in 1980, where they eventually retired. She enjoyed aerobic exercise, canoeing, gardening, cooking and spending time with family and friends, and taking annual trips across the United States with her sister and their spouses or other family friends. In 2006, Jeannette and Corky took a long-awaited trip-of-a-lifetime with their children and their spouses to her country of heritage, Poland, where many lasting memories were made. In September 2018, Jeannette and Corky moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, to be closer to their children, grandson, and their families. She loved this opportunity be close, enjoy family dinners together, and celebrate the fruits of lives well-lived.
