WVHS seniors complete Senior projects

MENLO – Federal recognition of the Chinook Tribe. The effect of ocean windmills on the environment. The use of body cameras by police. A Dungeon and Dragons table. A rolling barbecue. These are some of the Senior Projects from Willapa Valley seniors this year.

Last week all seniors completed their Senior Interviews as the last step in their Culminating Projects, a graduation requirement for every Willapa Valley senior.

Seniors in College in the High School Composition class or in Running Start, write an extended research paper, 10-12 pages in length about a current events topic. Senior English students complete a 25-hour hands-on project and write a short paper, five pages about a topic related to their projects. As the last step, each senior faces a panel of staff and community members to present their findings or display their work and to answer questions from the panel.

Willapa Valley students have been completing this type of Senior Project for more than 25 years, as it gives seniors a chance to focus on their interests, produce a product for a public audience, and then show off their presentation skills to a panel of interested adults.

Peterson reflects on coaching, teaching

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com

After more than 40 years of coaching, Willapa Valley's John Peterson has retired from the profession he so dearly loves...coaching basketball and football.

“Forty years is long enough,” said Peterson, who retired from teaching after 37 years in 2021.

Peterson is the epitome of a sports enthusiast. Peterson eats, drinks and breathes sporting events – whether it's professional, college or high school sports. Asked what his hobbies are, Peterson shot, “I don't have any. I watch sports. I mow the lawn, work in the yard...we travel some.” More seriously though, Peterson deeply loves his family, and is going to devote even more time to his wife, children and grandchildren.

Peterson, who is a nononsense guy that wears his emotions on his sleeve, said. “With me, what you see is what you get.”

On the sidelines, Peterson, who has received several coaching awards, including being inducted into the Washington State Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame, was very demonstrative. “I learned my work ethic from my dad,” Peterson said. “My dad has the hardest work ethic I ever saw. It doesn't take any talent to work hard. We're a blue collar community. To outwork everybody, that is ingrained in our community.”

True Blue Viking Peterson, who graduated from Willapa Valley HS in 1977, is, and always will be a Valley Viking tried and true. “I played all the sports and was in a lot of clubs in high school,” he said. “I was the ASB President for two years. As an athlete, I was pretty good, fair, but not great. I made some all-league teams. I could run pretty fast.”

Peterson attended Grays Harbor College for two years and attended Western Washington University for

a quarter. Peterson played golf at GHC and still shoots in the low 80s. “I quit school and worked. I drove a truck for my dad, worked at 76 station and at Pacific Wholesales, and then went back to school – Eastern Washington University in 1980.” There, Peterson earned his bachelor of arts degree in education in June 1983.

Peterson met his wife, Jaime, while coaching at Skagit Valley. They have been married since July 1985. He then coached boys basketball at Concrete HS (1985-89). Eventually Peterson arrived at his roots at WVHS in the fall 1992 where he was an assistant coach under Tom Betrozoff for five years. “I learned a lot from him,” Peterson said.

Peterson was the WVHS Athletic Director for a couple of years and was the head coach of the boys for 17 years and went to the state tournament 10 times and brought home trophies five times, including a second-

place one in 2005. As a head coach, Peterson won 323 varsity boys games. Peterson was the Valley girls head coach for five years and took the Vikings to state three times. He coached Valley teams for 31 years.

Peterson is proud of his southern roots in Arkansas, North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and the midwestern state of Wisconsin.

Always Wanted to Coach

Some people don't know what they want to do at a young age, others know early on. “I always lived to play ball,” Peterson said. “I always had a ball in my hand. I had a huge family and a lot of great male role models, my dad, my uncles, a lot of guys I looked up to were my coaches...Bob Rockett, Sr, “I called him Mr. Rockett 'til the day he died. Jack Pearson really helped me. I can't even tell you what Bud Sanchez means to me – what a great friend. I just love him. Those

probability. The team of Anderson, Stephens, and Quintana again took first in their division, while the team of Brooke Keovilay, Andrea Delgado, and Tressa McMullen came in second, and the team of Chayton Phelps, Kevin Hovis, and Aaron Somero came in third.

Edgar Ramirez nets 3 goals in win

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com

SOUTH BEND – Raymond-South Bend crushed Castle Rock 5-0 in boys' soccer last Tuesday (March 21) at South Bend. Scoring goals for RSB were Edgar Ramirez, Jason Loza, Jose Ramirez, Adam Mora and Chris Quintana.

The Ravens registered a 5-2 victory at Ilwaco last Wednesday. Edgar Ramirez tallied 3 goals for RSB. Also scoring goals were Jose Ramirez and Neri Camarena.

Tenino defeated RSB 2-1 Friday at South Bend. Adam Mora scored for RSB. The match went into extra time after it was tied at 1-1. “We are doing better this season and this evening we travel to Forks for a JV game followed by varsity,” RSB Head Boys Soccer Coach Joseph Keegan told the Herald Monday morning..

The Ravens (2-2) travel to Montesano today and Eatonville Friday.

Fifteen Raymond High School students competed at the Washington State Math Council’s Regional Math Competition on March 8. For the first time, Raymond hosted the competition for Region 9. The Seagulls had a very successful day.

The teams first competed in the Team Prob -

lem event. One Raymond team, consisting of Morgan Anderson, Taren Stephens, and Chris Quintana took first place in the region, thus qualifying them for the state competition.

The students moved onto the Team Topical event, where they solved shorter problems involving algebra, geometry and

This year, four students completed a complex team project examining the income gap in various towns and cities by analyzing home values.

Jolie Dunn, Alia Enlow, Brooke Keovilay, and Kyndal Koski have been working on this project for months and will represent Raymond at the state competition. They are one of seven projects competing at state and are up against much larger schools including Ferris, Foss, and Cascade High School.

Finally, in the Know -

down Competition (like a spelling bee, only with math problems), Aaron Somero placed second of eight and will be the only Seagull representing at the state competition in the Knowdown.

Freshmen Megan Kongbouakhay and Kassie Koski also competed on Wednesday.

The state competition will be held at Central Washington University on Saturday, April 22. All students should be proud of their effort in the regional event.

The regional math contest is always a great way to challenge students.

Raymond coach Thinh Gunnarson, and assisted by Cameron Shores, would like to thank Raymond Schools Foundation for supporting the students of Raymond and generously covering registration fees.

Obituary

Irvin Robert Stephens, 90, a life-long resident of Pacific County, passed away peacefully March 1, 2023 at the family home in Raymond. He was surrounded by his children and faithful corgi, Gunny.

Irv was born August 13, 1932 in Willapa to Robert (Blackie) and Ruth Olsen Stephens. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 43 years, Louise Kelley Stephens, their infant son, Donald Wayne, and loving companion of 23 years, Marion Salme. He was also preceded in death by granddaughter Lily Stephens (Doug and Lisa), sisters Deannie Stephens, Carrie Cummings and William Villanueva, granddaughter Stacey’s husband.

Irv, Deannie, Carrie, Roy, and Trudy were raised in Firdale at the Stephens family home. He often reminisced of life on the old homestead which was void of electricity, inside plumbing, and hot running water. His mother’s delicious meals on the wood stove, which he and brother Roy kept stocked with wood was a favorite memory towards the end of his life. He attended Willapa Valley Schools lettering in football, basketball, and track. In 1949, at age 17 with his mother’s written permission, Irv joined the United States Marine Corps Reserve. In June, 1950 he was deployed

In Loving Memory of Irvin Robert Stephens

to Korea for combat duty under the command of Col. Lewis (Chesty) Puller becoming part of How Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment. In November of that year, during the Battle at Chosin Reservoir, one of the most brutal battles of the Korean War, he was wounded. Irv loved the Marine Corps, was a proud member of the “Chosin Few” and a Purple Heart recipient.

On June 4, 1953, with Ralph and Wanda Stark in attendance, Irv married Louise Marie Kelley of Raymond. Irv and Louise had 4 children: Donald Wayne, Scott Duane, Karla Diane, and Douglas Irvin. They had a true partnership; Irv worked hard in the woods and Louise worked hard at home to provide their family an exceptional life. Irv supported his family via the logging industry starting his own company, Stephens Logging, which he ran until his retirement in 1996.

Irv was an adventurer and loved to hunt, fish, and travel. He hunted grizzly bear in Alaska, fished the Kenai River with sons Scott and Doug, hunted in Montana, partnered with lifelong friend Don Murdock to build a hunting cabin in Canada, went on Safari in Africa, toured Israel with daughter Karla, visited Mexico many times, and toured all 50 states in the motorhome. He was always on the go! A favorite travel experience of Irv’s was taking the Freedom Flight to Washington DC where along with many other Veteran’s he toured each military memorial, especially enjoying the Korean War Memorial.

Irv was a member of the VFW, Willapa Valley Booster Club, Raymond Elks, and the Marine Corps League. He was a 32nd Degree Mason as well as a member of The Chosin Few. He, and a group of friends organized the Wall of Honor at Willapa Valley Highschool: a memorial to Vikings that served their country. He leaves behind three children; Scott Stephens (Norma), Karla Stephens Webber (Jamie), Doug Stephens (Lisa), 11 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, brother Roy Stephens, and a sister Trudy Heggem. He is also survived by Marion’s son Gary

Salme, who contributed a great deal to Irv’s life. A memorial service will take place May 6 at 11:00 a.m. at Fern Hill Cemetery in Menlo. A luncheon will follow at the Willapa United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, the family wishes memorial contributions go to help maintain the Wall of Honor at Willapa Valley High School.

In Loving Memory of Mildred Irene Berry

Mildred Berry, 96, of Raymond sadly left us on March 11, 2023. Mildred was born October 4, 1926 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska to Fred and Marie Graff. Soon after, her family moved to Torrington, Wyoming then finally settled in the Yakima Valley. While working on a hop farm she met the love of her life, Raymond Berry. They were married for 72 years. They raised their family of three children in Harrah, Washington.Then due to his job, they moved to Raymond in 1967.

Mildred worked for Coast Seafoods shucking oysters for 20 years. She enjoyed visiting friends at Pace Senior Center and people around the community. She loved to read, watch old westerns and was an avid Seahawks and Mariner fan. She took great pride in winning blue ribbons at the Pacific County Fair for the afghans and doilies she crocheted.

She is survived by her children: Diana White (Jesse), Gail Berry (Cindy) and Don Berry (Sunday) along with many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her brother Dick also survives. Preceding her in death was her husband Ray, sister Betty Lupino and brother Albert Graff.

Mildred’s family would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to Holly Care Homes, who loved and cared for her during the last of her life. She has requested no service.

In Loving Memory of Lynn Marie Hatfield-Wingender

Lynn Marie HatfieldWingender, 63, of Raymond, WA., passed peacefully home to her Lord on March 17, 2023, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born on October 5, 1959, in South Bend, WA., the first and only daughter of Stan and Gail (Briney) Hatfield.

to follow in her mother’s footsteps when she became a Raymond High School Cheerleader.

Lynn also excelled in drama, acting in numerous school plays and Willapa Players productions. Her favorite, and most memorable, role was Liesl von Trapp in the Players production of “The Sound of Music”.

After high school, Lynn attended Grays Harbor College followed by Western Washington University, earning her Bachelor of Arts in Parks and Recreation. Her career and self-described “wanderlust” took her around the world, holding various recreational jobs in places like the Grand Canyon, Alaska, Hawaii and Italy. More recently Lynn returned to college pursuing a degree in education with the goal of becoming a teacher.

Marie Hatfield-Wingender

Growing up during the “wonder years” Lynn enjoyed car-pooling to ballet and swimming lessons, riding bikes on Ostman road, picking black berries, taking piano lessons taught by her great uncle Olney Nevitt, playing softball with her dad as coach and 4H where she became a camp counselor at Camp Moorehead.

Piano lessons launched her love of music, whether it was playing her flute in band, learning to play the guitar, singing, or simply whistling a happy tune.

Swimming lessons fueled her life-long love of water from beginners and advanced beginners to life guarding, water skiing and teaching swimming lessons. Proud of her Water Safety Instructor certification, she was known to refer to herself as “Lifeguard Lynnie”

Lynn attended Raymond Schools from Kindergarten through her High School graduation as a proud ‘Seagull’ and member of the class of ‘78. Go Gulls!

In high school Lynn participated in sports including track and volleyball, played in the concert and pep bands, was a member of many clubs and organizations. She was honored

Continued from page 1 guys are pretty cool. I thought ‘I could do that’.”

37 Years of Teaching

Peterson taught for 37 years, including 29 at Valley. He primarily taught sixth through 12th grades, including physical education, history, health, a little math, English and algebra.

Asked how much have students changed over the years, Peterson said. “Kids haven't changed, society has changed. The expectations have changed. Parents are worried a lot about being their kids' friends. Parents don't expect as much from their kids. It's great to love and be tender. We've dropped the standard a little bit. Kids are different because the expectations are different. Children will give you what they expect. As a society, we've lost a little bit of toughness, too.”

Peterson said, “I don't know that there was a tricky part of teaching. I just tried to do the best I could for the

kids. Some kids need different stuff. All students should not be treated the same. Mostly, what I hoped was that they had all the tools they needed. I told them, 'When I give you an assignment, I expect you to do your best at it.' I hope they feel we prepared them and that we cared about them. I hope they thought I cared. The discipline was important to me. You respect your instructor. If there ever was a problem, they can come and talk to me. I'd sure listen.”

Peterson said the biggest problem facing teachers is “There's a shortage of teachers. You have to jump through a lot of hoops. The pay is better than it was. Teaching is like a ministry; it's a calling. No one teaches for the money. It was a good gig for me. It's better than not being in the forest working hard.” There have been several changes in high school sports over the years.

At an early age Lynn accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She maintained her strong faith until she drew her last breath and entered the presence of our father in Heaven. She attended many churches over the years, making many dear friends along the way.

Lynn was the proud mother of three girls aka the M&M&M’s aka the Three M’s aka Marissa, Mariah and Marina. They have all grown into wonderful young ladies.

Lynn was welcomed to Heaven by her mother Gail, father Stan and sister-in-law Freddie. She is survived by her daughters Marissa, Mariah and Marina. Brothers Kevin (Synde), Mark (Laurie) and Brian. She is also survived by nieces Tarrah and Chloe, nephews Jameson, Mitchell and Brady, her Aunt Kay and numerous cousins. She also leaves behind many friends who will miss her beautiful smile and contagious laugh.

A celebration of life will be held Saturday April 1 at 11:00 a.m. at the Willapa United Methodist Church in Old Willapa. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial donation to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

“There's a whole myriad of things that have changed. The class change is a mess. We need to go back to hard numbers. The 2B cutoff should be 180 to 85. You've got schools that had 61 kids suited up. Equipment is way better. Kids are faster, better trained. Some athletes may not be students of the game as they used to be. Some 15-year-olds are like grown men. Back in the day you'd play against teams that would run the I, veer, wishbone; everybody runs the spread now. Most teams are some kind of a Mike Leach offense. Some day everybody will be throwing on every down. Well, you gotta put your hand in the dirt and go forward. It teaches good life lessons. Football is a great game.”

Challenges of Coaching

Coaching encompasses many challenges. “Getting kids to adapt to the 'we' as a 'me' is a big thing,” Peterson

said. “The best part of athletics is 'we're gonna do this together.' The greatest things you will do with your life, you will do with someone else. One of my favorites was the '96 foot team that won state. These guys still see each other and when they do, they throw their arms around you. They still love each other. You can't teach that. The most important thing is getting to fight for each other. I'm gonna give up myself because I don't want to let my teammates down.” Peterson said there's not anything he can say about himself that most people don't already know. “My heart's on my sleeve. I'm pretty transparent. I was so blessed that I got to do something that I got to do my whole life in a place where I wanted to do it. I'm really proud to be where I'm from. I'll miss not hearing the Valley fight song. That still fires me.”

Asked if he's going to pull a Tom Brady and unretire, Peterson said, “About 25 guys have asked me that. My wife has given a lot. We want to spend time with our grandkids and our kids. Will I miss it? Oh hell yes, I'll miss it like crazy.”

In closing Peterson offered, “My granny used to tell me, boy, you need to sweep your own porch and let people take care of theirs. Take good care of yourself, she was pretty smart. I wish I’d listened to her more.”
