Fatality on Hwy 101
On Thursday, February 24, 2022 around 12:42 p.m. the Washington State Patrol responded to an accident call on Hwy 101 near milepost 33 close to the Middle Nemah area. The truck vs. Semi resulted in a fatality. According to the WSP report, William D. Mobley, a 69year-old male from South Bend, was traveling northbound on Hwy 101. He was driving a 1988 Ford F150 pickup truck. The report states that he crossed into the southbound lane and collided with a 2007 Kenworth semi driven by Loren L. Clark, a 62-year-old male from Elma traveling south. The vehicle collided in the southbound lane near the centerline. Mobley was declared deceased on scene. Clark, the driver of the semi, was uninjured. Both vehicles were totaled. The report also states that the cause of the accident is still under investigation.

Local students join food distribution effort By Karen S. Carter The latest food distribution happened on February 23. Pre-assembled food boxes were passed out in a drive-thru style food pick up in front of the Chinook Indian Nation’s Tribal Office on Park Street in Bay Center. Over 300 families
were served. Willapa Valley and Raymond High School students created flyers and distributed them around the community. During the event, the kids along with other volunteers unloaded the delivery truck and passed out the food boxes.
responsibility to protect and maintain school property. We hope public awareness will help prevent damage to our facilities in the future, so we can keep the track open for all.” Superintendent Baker asked the public to contact law enforcement if they see suspicious behavior on the campus. “Please call Raymond Police Department’s non-emergency phone number: (360) 942-4120. We all play a role in the safety and well-being of our commu-
nity. Thank you for understanding,” Superintendent Baker recently resigned his position effective June 30. “I have appreciated the opportunity to serve the Raymond school community,” Baker told the Herald Friday. “Working in partnership with the board, my priority continues to be doing what is best for our students and staff. In that spirit, I will do everything I can to create a smooth transition for new leadership.”
Raymond School District vandalized By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com Raymond Superintendent of Schools Ross Baker told the Herald there has been a vandalism problem in his school district. “Recently, staff have been combating graffiti and vandalism on our school campus,” Baker told the Herald Friday. “Earlier this week, the graffiti they found was particularly vulgar.” The Raymond School District was forced to lock the entrance gate to the track
and field and football area. “Facilities Director Scott Coty made the decision to secure the area and prevent public entry until the graffiti could be removed,” Baker said. “With the graffiti now gone, the district is unlocking the gate,” Baker said. “We welcome the public back to the track area before or after regular school hours and on the weekends.” Superintendent Baker added that Raymond School District “has the right and

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com SOUTH BEND – Big changes are taking place at South Bend School District in regard to Koplitz Field House and with facilities for the athletic department. The district recently received $1,725,118 in grant funding from OSPI to carry out construction of the seismic retrofit for Koplitz Field House, which extends the initial $248,000 grant we received last year to develop the scope and plans of the retrofit. The
district also received a $200,000 competitive grant to put toward the costs of constructing a new weight and fitness building on campus. “The 2020 State Legislature appropriated $13.2 million to the School Seismic Safety Retrofit Program to fund seismic safety retrofits and related improvements to high seismic risk school buildings,” South Bend School District Superintendent Dr. Jon Tienhaara told the Herald. “The Koplitz Field House was identified by the Department of Natural Resources, Washington Geological Survey’s School Seismic Safety Project, to be of high seismic risk, and we qualified to pursue grant funding that, if awarded, would help us develop structural plans to implement seismic safety standards. This process took about a year before we presented our plans to the state committee. We learned in late January that our project was approved, providing a grand total of about $2,000,000 to carry out the entire project.” There will be significant changes taking place at Koplitz Field House. “Most of the work will be done inside the building where walls will be strengthened and brought up to seismic standards,” Tienhaara said. “There will also be foundation work, perimeter outside wall strengthening, as well as redoing building components that will be demolished as a result of the strengthening. As a result, the building will receive all new siding and will be painted. There will also be some minor re-design work of the front lobby entrance.”

Vikings slay Knights 65-59 with team effort
Statebound Vikings!
By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com Balanced scoring, timely shooting and all-around cohesive team play proved to be a winning combination for Willapa Valley in the opening round of the 2B Boys State Regional Saturday at W.F. High School in Chehalis. The Vikings turned down Sunnyside Christian 65-59 with junior Riley Pearson (18 points), senior Wil Clements (15 pts, 9 rebs) and senior Gavin Hampton (13 pts, 2 blocks) commanding the charge. “This was a big win for the kids in a big time game setting against a very good, big, quick and well-coached Photo Courtesy Larry Bale opponent,” WVHS head Willapa Valley HS senior Lanissa Amacher turned in a clutch performance during the Vikes’ regional coach Jay Pearson told the win over Moses Lake Saturday at Wenatchee. Amacher is shown during the District IV title game at Herald. “It sets us up nicely Montesano HS. for the state tournament in
Willapa Valley upsets Moses Lake 42-25 By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@ gmail.com Willapa Valley's hustling, ball-hawking defense was too hot for Moses Lake Christian Academy Covenant School to handle during an opening round regional elimination game at Wenatchee HS Saturday night. Fueled by senior Lanissa Amacher's 20 points and 10 rebounds, and a great supporting cast, the No. 16 seeded Vikings, who led from the get-go, dismissed the No. 9 seeded Lions 42-25. “We handled 'em pretty well,” Peterson said. “We never were behind. Every time they made a run, we answered. “This is a huge upset. I don't know if they overlooked us because we were seeded 16th. “We jumped on them and they melted,” Peterson said. “Our two guards, Britney Patrick and Ana Chavez (5 pts, 2 stls, 2 rebas, 1 blk), were absolutely outstanding out front. We played brilliant defense. We play so hard. Say what you want, my little girls play defense and they work. “You can't coach playing hard and you can't coach chemistry,” Peterson said. “Our chemistry is good, they play so darn hard that it's unbelievable. I'm really, really proud of 'em. I don't know how their hearts fit in their bodies because their hearts are so big. “All the kids played really, really well,” Peterson said. “Lanissa (4 steals, 2 assists) scored 13 of her 20 points in the first half,” Peterson noted. “Britney Patrick (5 assists, 4 stls, 3 rebs, 1 blk) came through with eight big points. Chayse Coady (8 rebs, 6 pts, 3 stls, 1 blk) was excellent underneath. “This was the first time we pressed against a really good team,” Peterson said. “We've very seldom done that. We used an extended 2-3 zone. They didn't handle it very well and could not get into their set.” Valley's defense did a number on Moses Lake's best player, junior Makiya Mast, who was held to 12 points. Mast came into the game averaging 17.7 ppg. “We held 5 of 19 shooting,” Peterson said. “They shot 23 percent as a team.” Valley was 4 of 9 from 3-point range. “(We) hit a 3-pointer at critical times,” Peterson said. The Vikings shot 36 percent from the floor on 14 of 39 and were 10 of 20 from the free throw stripe. “I've said all year, if we make shots, we'll hang,” Peterson said. Willapa out-rebounded the taller Knights 31-22. Willapa Valley committed 22 turnovers and Moses Lake had 15. Valley led 11-6 after the first quarter, 2113 at halftime, 26-18 after three quarters and then took the fourth quarter 16-7.
Willapa Harbor Herald
Hannah Hamilton secured 6 rebounds and Hadlee Russell came through with 3 points and 2 rebounds. Junior Kali Kast added 10 points for the Lions. Moses Lake's season stopped with a record of 16-5, while Willapa Valley, 13-9 moves forward to face tradition-rich No. 8 Pomeroy (16-7) of the rough-and-tough Southeast League with the victor going up against No. 2 Colton (20-2) in the quarterfinal round on Thursday at 9 pm. That winner advances to the semifinals at 9 pm Friday and the losers head to the consolation bracket for an elimination game Friday (2 pm) and the winner plays for fourth and sixth place Saturday at 9:30 a.m. The championship game is Saturday at 1 pm. “We were 5-7, now we're 13-9 and going to the dance,” Peterson said. “It has been absolutely joyous to watch them develop in their season. They've exceeded everything I hoped for. We're going to ride this wave as long as we can. The No. 8 Pirates (16-7) were defeated in their opening round tilt versus No. 1 Mount Vernon Christian (20-3) 37-34 Saturday afternoon on the Hurricanes' home floor. “Pomeroy has been a fine team for years with a rich tradition over there,” Peterson said. “They are big and physical and play in a really tough league. They're way bigger than us. They have two big posts and good guards. They play man and zone, and are a solid, solid basketball team.When you get to this level, everybody's good; there are no patsies.” Coach Peterson said that scheduling games against Class 2B teams during the regular season was “huge” for his teams' competitiveness. “When you play better teams, you get better.” Today's three other games are: No. 6 Mossyrock (13-6) vs No. 11 Waterville-Mansfield (15-4); No. 7 Wellpinit (11-7) vs No. 10 Naselle (14-9); No. 4 Wilbur-Creston (15-5) vs No. 13 Cusick (15-5). The six other first round regional scores included: No. 2 Collton 68, No. 7 Wellpinit 37; No. 3 Neah Bay (12-3) 58, No. 6 Mossyrock 40; No. 5 Garfield-Palouse (17-5) 52, vs No. 4 Wilbur-Creston-Keller 39; No. 10 Naselle 48, No. 15 Evergreen Lutheran (10-8) 19; No. 14 Muckleshoot Tribal (15-4) 55, No. 11 Waterville-Mansfield 47 No. 13 Cusick 57, No. 12 Grace Academy (10-5) 48.
Spokane. With this win, we get a bye on Wednesday, advancing straight into the quarterfinals on Thursday. That is a huge win for us over there saving our legs for one day, as the last state tournament berth in 2020 by game four our legs were gone.” Coach Pearson was more than pleased with his teams' all-out effort and teamwork. “No surprise, as it's been our remedy to a winning season all year long by playing as a team. Everyone seems to know their role, believe in each other and when it is their time to play, they step up and play. It’s someone different in almost every game, which is a beautiful thing to watch. “Riley Pearson responded very well after a difficult district championship game
by scoring a team-high 18 points,” Coach Pearson added. “Riley made some big shots and free throws at crucial times that kept us over the hump and in control of the game. “Wil Clements probably had the biggest night for us tonight coming of the bench, scoring 15 points and grabbing 10 rebounds,” Coach Pearson noted. “Hands down his best game of the year and Wil provided us the much needed height and length against Sunnyside that was much quicker and bigger than they appeared on film. Wil is a great person and a team member waiting for his number to be called and when it was called, boy was he ready and boy did he respond.” See vikings Page 3
Okanogan overcomes Raymond 65-56
By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com Okanogan toppled Raymond 65-56 at Wenatchee High School in the opening round of the regional at the Class 2B State Basketball Tournament Saturday afternoon. Raymond HS senior Kyra Gardner led all scorers with 25 points. Raymond HS head coach Jason Koski told the Herald it was a “tough game to lose,” adding, “From the onset, it felt like our toughest opponent was ourselves. Giving up offensive rebounds, not winning the 50-50 battle (loose balls), turning the ball over (19 ), not following the scout – basically, giving them way too many easy opportunities. “But after three (quarters), we were even and ended up going up by six (midway in fourth quarter),” Koski added. “Then our own struggles came again. (The) game came down to our inability to be consistent enough to demand from ourselves to win our assignments.” Senior swing player Daniele Sparks put up a double-double for the Bulldogs (21-2) with 17 points and 15 rebounds. Senior post Lexi Rafferty rammed in 14 points and sophomore Alex Goetz added 10. Also scoring for RHS were Karsyn Freeman (16), Kyndal Koski (13) and Alia Enlow (2). Enlow led the Lady Seagulls in rebounding with 7, followed by Gardner (6), Koski (5), Izzy Silvernail (4), Freeman (4) and Paige Williams (3). Gardner handed out 5 assists and Freeman had 3. Koski stole the ball 3 times and Gardner and Freeman added 2 each. Raymond (18-2) shot 37 percent from the field on 19 of 52 and was 9 of 24 from downtown. Raymond threw down 9 treys and OHS had 2. The
Lady Gulls connected on 9 of 10 free throws and Okanogan sank 11 charity tosses. Raymond committed 20 turnovers and Okanogan made 9 miscues. “Good thing is we still have a one game season and we get a chance to compete again,” Coach Koski said. No. 5 seeded Raymond now takes on No. 12 Mabton (17-8) today in a loser-out game; tipoff is at 12:15. Mabton is a very young team with no upperclassmen on its roster, according to the WIAA and Max Preps. Eighth grader Alana Zavala leds the Vikings in scoring (15.2) and rebounding (5.7). Frosh Esmeralda Sanchez adds 14.7 ppg, 7.4 steals and 4.8 assists per game. The winner faces No. 3 Colfax (20-1) at 12:15 tomorrow with that winner going to the semifinals on Friday (5:30). The loser heads to an elimination game in the consolation bracket at 10:30 am with the winner playing for fourth and sixth place at 8 am Friday. The championship game is Saturday (5 pm) and the third place/fifth place tipoff is at 11:15 am. Wednesday's other three loser-out games on tap include: No. 11 Rainier (18-7) vs No. 6 Lake Roosevelt (18-3); no. 10 Wahkiakum (18-6) vs No. 2 Warden (22-1); No. 9 Adna (20-7) vs No. 8 Chief Leschi (14-5); Thursday's other games are: Rainier vs Lake Roosevelt winner vs No. 4 Okanogan (21-2); Wahkiakum vs Warden winner vs No. 1 La Conner (21-1); Adna vs Chief Leschi winner vs No. 7 Liberty (Spangle) (19-2).

Also contributing for the Vikings were senior Grady Christen (8 pts, 6 rebs, 3 assists), senior Tyler Adkins (7 pts, 4 assists), junior Kolten Fluke (8 rebs, 3 assists) and junior Derek Fluke (5 rebs, 3 assists). “Gavin Hampton also turned in one heck of a night, scoring 13 points, dishing out four assists and making all the right decisions when he had the ball in his hands,” Coach Pearson said. “Some of his passes tonight were amazing. “Grady Christen was another player that stepped up for us tonight playing very unselfish by dishing out four assists as well, scored eight points, grabbed six rebounds and went 4 for 5 from the free throw line down the stretch,” Coach Pearson pointed out. “We much needed Grady’s 6’5” frame in there tonight against such a big team, and Grady saw the floor great tonight night making some nice passes to his teammates for easy lay-ins. “Tyler Adkins had a fabulous game for us tonight, and was our floor leader once again with that big game experience under his belt,” Coach Pearson said. “Tyler handled the ball well and made three bigtime floating shots when
we needed them to stay in the game. Tyler just provides his teammates with guidance and calmness while in big moments of the game.” The Vikings drilled down 41 percent (24 of 59) of their shots and made 10 of 15 free throws. Willapa Valley took care of the basketball while committing only 7 turnovers. The Knights (17-6) forged out a 14-12 edge in the first quarter before the Vikings took a 31-29 halftime lead. Willapa Valley padded the lead to 44-38 heading into the fourth quarter where both teams scored 21 points. “Again, this was a big win for us and I’m so happy for our kids,” Coach Pearson added. “They work hard and they deserve that first state playoff win. With the win, we earned a bye into the state quarterfinals.” The Columbia Valley League and District IV champion and fourth-seeded Vikings improved to 20-4 while heading to the Big Dance Thursday (9 am) at the Spokane Arena to face the winner of the No. 3 Northwest Yeshiva vs No. 11 Naselle matchup. That winner plays Friday in a semifinal at 3:45 and the loser tips off in the consolation round Saturday at
11:15 am. The state championship game is Saturday at 7 pm. Six teams return home with trophies. Today's other three first round state games include: No. 7 Lummi Nation (15-3) vs No. 10 Mount Vernon Christian (17-6) ; No. 5 Sunnyside Christian (17-6) vs No. 12 Crosspoint (18-6); No. 8 DeSales (19-5) vs No. 9 Wellpinit (15-4).

Bidding for the project is in the works. “We are bidding the project now and will be awarding a bid (this) month,” Tienhaara said. “Work is slated to begin this summer with final closeout happening before the end of September. We have four general contractors interested in the work, but we have not opened bids as of yet. That is scheduled to occur early (this) month.” Superintendent Tienhaara said getting the OSPI grant was a team effort. “It's a team effort. Wyatt Kuiken and I have done most of the leg work managing the grant process. Our district office staff runs all the cash flow and particulars in working with the state to ensure the financial resources get to where they need to be. We have been working with WRK Engineers out of Portland and Erickson McGovern Architects from Tacoma throughout the planning and now construction phases.” Dr. Tienhaara added, “I am very pleased this project is coming to fruition. I think everyone who knows Koplitz Field House agrees it is a special building. Built in 1950,
buildings just aren't constructed like this anymore. It is nice to know we are able to bring the building up to 21st century seismic codes, ensuring Koplitz Field House will live on for decades to come. It is a big plus that our local community does not have to come up with the financial resources to make this happen. Weight and Fitness Room Superintendent Tienhaara explained what a competitive grant is. “OSPI released a Healthy Schools grant program that encourages programming to support healthy lifestyles and physical fitness. This is a competitive grant in that interested districts develop grant applications detailing how they would use the grant funding. The state reviews all grant proposals, and awards funding based on the grant application, district readiness, and district ability to implement the proposed project. One of our goals has been to provide better facilities for health and fitness, and our weights/exercise program has been on the list to bring improvements to. One of the things I try to

Corbetta Carria D’Eliso (Corki), age 73, went to live with Jesus on Saturday, February 19th. She passed peacefully at Providence Centralia Hospital surrounded by her closest loved ones after a long and courageous battle with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Corki was born on April 22, 1948 to Clara Randall and Corbett Ball. She was the 8th child of 10 children. She was very popular in school and was a cheerleader and graduated from Corbetta Carria D’Eliso White Pass High School in 1965. Corki married the love of her life, Joe or Joey as she called him, on September 3, 1971 at Lake Tahoe. They celebrated their 50th anniversary last year. They made their home in Raymond, Washington for the last 25+ years. Joe and Corki also lived in Tacoma, Antioch, California (where she loved their pool). While in California, Corki worked as an instructor at the Beauty College in Antioch. Corki also loved to travel. As Worldmark members, there were many family vacations together. Joe and Corki enjoyed visiting Hawaii, Disneyland and many locations in Oregon, California and Nevada. Many vacations were spent with her closest sister Cookie Stamper and her late husband Big Al. Cookie and Corki were more like twins, being only 14 months apart and doing so much together. Corki was best known for all of the nieces and nephews, greats and great-greats who she helped take care of and raise. She would say “God Bless the Little Children.” They adored her. She supported and followed them all with their sports and school activities. She was their biggest fan. She was the kindest, sweetest person. She always had something positive to say. If you were around her, you were a better person for it. If you ever needed anything, she was the first one to offer help. She enjoyed making big meals for everyone and baking cakes / cupcakes for all of the family gatherings, whether it be a birthday, Christmas, Halloween, a wedding, rehearsal dinner, a graduation, super bowl party etc. Nobody could cook like Aunt Corki. Her Christmas cookies were the best, and she made all gatherings a big, wonderful celebration. She would call her niece Roxanne at work and say “swing by, as I made dinner for your family” all the time. Some of Corki’s favorites were Elvis, stage plays (which she passed on to her niece Roxanne Gerow), My Fair Lady movie, The Westside Story, Clowns (because they came from her love of making people happy and seeing them smile, as she always did). She enjoyed making Christmas ornaments for her great-great nieces and nephews, playing at casinos, black Friday shopping, her sisters and little blackberry pies. Corki was an important part of the Willapa United Methodist Church Vacation Bible School where she helped for years. She also worked in the Willapa Valley Booster Club Fair Booth for years. Corki is survived by her beloved husband Joseph, her sisters Cookie Stamper, Sharon Randall / Holcomb (George), her two brothers George (Punk) Ball and his beloved wife Linda, Delbert Workman (Sue), and many nieces and nephews. Her closest nieces Roxanne Gerow (Kenny) and their special family, and Melissa Zapalac (Martin) and their family, and closest nephew Allen Stamper (Rocky) and family. She was preceded in death by her parents and brothers Dale Workman, Ed Workman, Jim Ball and sisters Mina (Sis) Cheney and Verna Powell. Corki loved the Lord and attended Lebam Community Church. There is no doubt that she is soaring with the angels. The bond that she had with her loved ones will continue. Neither heaven or earth can separate. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date. An announcement will be made once the time and date are set.

do is be on the lookout for funding opportunities that support district goals. This grant became available last fall and we decided to apply. We were very happy to find out about our selection in late January.” The primary use of the weight and fitness room will be for students in the physical fitness programs as well as the school's athletic programs, according to Tienhaara. “We also currently allow members of our local first responder agencies to use our facilities free of charge.” The location of the weight and fitness room is to be determined. “We are working with Cheryl Green of CM Green Designs in Raymond to help us determine the best location,” Tienhaara said. “We have several possible locations but we have various considerations to think about as far as accessibility, access to utilities, code requirements, etcetera.” The grant is for the building only. “We will be working on additional funding to help provide newer equipment,” Tienhaara informed.
“We hope to begin construction this coming fall,” Tienhaara added. “The building will be complete by June 30, 2023. We are at the beginning of the design phase now and have not put the project out to bid yet.” South Bend School District is also pursuing more projects. “We have some other projects in the planning phase that we hope to pursue soon,” Tienhaara said. “One of these includes replacing and fixing some of the storm water lines on campus. We have some grant applications out now and hope to hear more soon.” In closing, Dr. Tienhaara said, “We are very thankful whenever we can bring in outside grant funding for these types of projects. Anything we can bring in helps our community and allows the district to better provide for students. We have been fortunate to be successful in many of our grant endeavors. I want to thank our district office staff for all their help in managing these resources.”

Razor clam digs get go-ahead on coastal beaches Twenty-five razor clam digs on ocean beaches have been tentatively scheduled in March and April by state shellfish managers. “After some great fall and winter razor clamming, we still have plenty of harvestable clams ready to go for some equally great digging during spring low tides, '' said Dan Ayres, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) coastal shellfish manager. “Diggers can expect abundant populations of nice-sized clams on all beaches.” Final approval of all scheduled openings is dependent on marine toxin test results. WDFW typically makes a final announcement whether a dig can proceed as planned about one to two weeks before each series. Digging is not allowed before noon for March digs where low tide occurs in the evening: March 2, Wednesday, 6:30 PM; -0.8 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis March 3, Thursday, 7:07 PM; -0.5 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks March 4, Friday, 7:42 PM 0.0 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis March 16, Wednesday, 6:35 PM; 0.0 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks March 17, Thursday, 7:08 PM; 0.0 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis March 18, Friday, 7:41 PM; +0.2 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks (Ocean Shores Razor Clam Festival) March 19, Saturday, 8:14 PM; +0.5 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis (Ocean Shores Razor Clam Festival) Digging is not allowed after noon for the remainder of March and April digs.

These two long-running events celebrate the unique contribution of razor clams to Washington’s culture and coastal communities. With the spring fast approaching, Washingtonians should consider purchasing 2022-2023 recreational hunting and fishing licenses before current licenses expire after March 31. Anyone gathering clams in April will need a new 2022-2023 license to participate. All diggers age 15 or older must have an applicable fishing license to harvest razor clams on any beach. Under state law, diggers at open coastal beaches can take 15 razor clams daily and are required to keep the first 15 they dig, regardless of size or condition. Each digger's clams must be kept in a separate container.
