“It's all about Judah and the hard work that he put in with the determination to not only to beat his dad's time in the 300-meter hurdles when he ran it, but the South Bend school record as well,” SBHS Head Track and Field Coach Greg Hinz told the Herald. “I am very proud of him and what he has accomplished and the rest of the team deserves a big shout out for everything they accomplished this season.” The previous record was held by Logan Stamos, set in 2019 at 41.19, according to SBHS Athletic Director Jon Schray.

SOUTH BEND – Raymond-South Bend completed a winning season under first-year head coach Dakota Brooks. The Titans were in their first season as a combined team. The young team, with only three seniors, qualified for the state tournament. And, they did it the hard way, with two loser-out victories at the district tournament to earn the final state slot from District 4. At state, the Titans lost a 1-run heartbreaker to Colfax, 11-10, in walk off fashion.
Coach Brooks, who was a star pitcher (0.84 ERA) and hitter (.564 batting avg.) on the Pe Ell-Willapa Valley state championship team in 2017, talked with the Herald about the Ravens.
“At state, I said several times, 'This is a defense versus defense game.' It was amazing to watch. Our defense was amazing, Ashlee (Payne) did her job and it really was amazing how well they were doing. Finally, I told all of the girls, 'Don’t do it for yourself. Do it for her.' After that, they kind of just took off and started hitting and stringing them together. It was amazing to watch. In the end, we just have a young team and next year, it will be a lot better because we’ve been there before.”
Coach Brooks said she didn't know what to expect from her team in its first season. “I didn’t really expect any of it – the girls and parents trusted me fully and they were always excited and eager to learn. These kids hold such a special place in my heart and I can’t wait to continue coaching them and building this program.”
Before the season started, Brooks had a heart-to-heart with her three seniors, Raydynn Morley, Cadence Swogger, and Kenzie Rucker.
“At the beginning of the year I pulled all three of my seniors aside and told them that 'I needed them to be leaders because they were going to build something great; they just had to do their part and be wonderful captains,'” Brooks said. “And they did that and then some. They really are exceptional kids and I hope they come back to help coach one day.”
The Herald asked Brooks, who was the MVP of the

“Coming from Richland Washington, I participated and loved the ability to get handmade items and fresh produce from the local farmers markets in the Tricity area. It so happens that Jeff Krantz and Katie Auble here in Raymond were having the same thoughts I was! We met and the market was born.”
“Our market is sponsored by the Pacific Events District. Katie and I volunteer to run the market and
offer the opportunity to all farms and crafters. Our first year was 2021 in the middle of COVID and we held the event on Fridays from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Many vendors and locals could not attend because they had Monday to Friday jobs. We found a community hungry for what we had to offer, and we moved the event to Saturdays 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. in 2022.”
“We have had a great response to our market,” said Spaman. “During Covid we separated the booths by 10 feet and found that people enjoyed being outdoors
MENLO – Pe Ell-Willapa Valley closed out another successful fastpitch in softball after bowing out at the 2023 2B State Fastpitch Softball Tournament. This time there was no trophy to bring home as there was in past years for the state-defending and two-time champion Titans. Pacific League Rival Ocosta knocked PWV out of state action with an 8-7 decision in 9 innings on Saturday, May 27, at the
Gateway Sports Complex in Yakima.
“I was a bit nervous going into this game because of districts,” PWV head coach Eric Hopfer told the Herald. “Jessie (Gilbert) had shut down the top of our lineup. We did a lot of work those days before going to state, talking about our mental approach at the plate. I feel like it worked – even though we came up short in the ninth inning and 4½ hour thriller, We hit Jessie better than any other team at that tourna-
ment. Lauren Matlock went 5-for-5 with two inside-thepark home runs and was one triple shy of hitting the cycle. The middle of our lineup struggled as we stranded eight runners. And, there were a couple of base running miscues that also could have helped our cause.
“Defensively, it was a hard game to endure,” Hopfer said. “We had two different lightning delays; it was very taxing on the pitchers. I don’t know how Emery pulled through all
of that, but she did. We intentionally walked Jessie (Gilbert) five times, which meant we had to execute our defense to keep her from scoring and we did that up until the fifth inning. I have coached Jessie and she is just one of those kids that sees the ball really well, so I was not going to take any chances with her. But in the ninth inning, we had the bases loaded and I just did not want to walk another run in, so we pitched to her and Emery got her to hack
Continued from page 1 at a high throw, which popped up foul to third base.
“Ultimately, the middle of Ocosta’s lineup just got to us in the final hour,” Hopfer said. “This was a game of inches, and I feel like the game got really big to our young infield. While they executed some really good plays, we just had enough miscues on both defense and offense to give Ocosta the edge.”
Matlock, a ninth grader, smashed 5 hits, scored 4 runs, delivered 3 RBI, smoked 2 home runs and also hit a double.
Senior Payton Peterson (run, triple) drove in 3 runs and ripped 3 singles. Frosh Jillian Hodel (run) lashed 2 hits. In her last game as a senior for the Titans, Grace Huber had a single and an RBI. Junior Lauren Emory went the distance and she struck out 7.
The Titans ended the season with an overall record of 20-9 and as co-champions of the Pacific League along with Forks. The two teams agreed to play a game for seeding purposes that had nothing to do with being the sole champion, except for bragging rights with the Spartans. The Titans placed third at the District 4 tournament after defeating Forks 5-3. Adna won the state title with a 12-3 triumph over Forks. Ocosta finished third after beating Okanogan 6-3.
“Our season went very well,” Hopfer said. “At the start, things were shaky in the infield and shedding the deer in headlights look
took a few games. But offensively, they swung the bats right out of the gate, which was good because we needed to outscore our opponents by a large margin in order to win and give our defense more room for error on the dirt. All in all, they far exceeded my preseason expectations. Now that they set the bar high for their first season in leading roles. My expectations are even greater for them going forward to next year. They are all great athletes and they all will be playing through the summer and fall. There is no doubt in my mind that they will show up next year ready to hit the ground running.”
Coach Hopfer paid tribute to his seniors, Payton Peterson and Grace Huber. “Our two graduating seniors are going to be missed. Payton Peterson is our state championship catcher. Whenever she was up to bat, I just knew something was about to happen. She saw the ball well this year, and when she swung the bat, she just squared up on the ball and hit it hard. She was hard to defend. The defense just had to make great plays on her to get her out. I am gonna miss her presence on and off the field.
“Grace Huber was our state championship (2022) left fielder,” Huber said. I could have moved Grace into the infield to help lead the younger players, but I opted to keep her where she played last year and I am glad I did. The huge hits that she thwarted were

“I intend to come back to the Ravens to coach next year,” Brooks said. “We have some unfinished business and it’s time to prove some people wrong. My expectations are always the same — have fun, play hard and love each other. If the girls can do those three things and of course, trust me and the process, then they will do great. I’m excited to see what’s in store for the RSB Ravens.”
Colfax 11, RSB 10
Raymond-South Bend was eliminated from the state tourney after losing 11-10 against Colfax in a first round elimination matchup on May 26. The Bulldogs (19-4) won in walkoff style in the bottom of the seventh.
The game was scoreless through five innings before RSB erupted for seven runs in the top of the sixth. Kyndal Koski, a junior, belted a 3-run home run. However, CHS responded for 10 runs in the bottom half of the inning for a 10-7 lead. The Ravens charged back and tallied three times in the top of the seventh to tie the

unbelievable. ESPN should have been at every game that we played because the grabs she made this year would have filled their Top 10 lists. She always made practice fun and she elevates everyone around her. I am gonna miss her dearly.
“My real goal was to get to state for these two seniors,” Hopfer added. “I really felt like we owed it to them. They contributed so much to us winning the state title last year and I wanted to at least get back over to Yakima so they could finish their tenure on the big stage.”
PWV 4, Warden 0
Emery shut out Warden on five hits during the Titans' elimination game victory May 27. Sophomore Lorelei Smaciarz (2 runs, RBI, dbl), Huber, (RBI, tpl), frosh CJ Sipp (RBI) and Hodel all poked two hits. Ninth grader Rilyn Channel drove in 2 runs.
“We woke up to play the number two seed Warden at 10:00 a.m.,” Hopfer said. “Our hitting came out a little flat, but the bottom of our lineup stepped up and started the scoring on Warden. Then in the sixth inning, the bottom of the lineup started it out and the top of the lineup finished the inning by putting two more on the board.
“On defense, we were just able to make the plays,” Hopfer added. “Emery pitching again was able to keep their batters off balance and the defense just had to execute the routine plays.”
game. Payne, a junior, drove home 3 runs, swatted 2 hits, scored a run, and smacked a clutch 2-run double.
Ninth grader Kassie Koski (RBI, 2 runs) collected 3 hits with a double. Morley had 2 hits and scored 2 runs. Sophomore hurler Summer Stigall suffered the defeat in the circle.
The Ravens ended the season with an overall record of 14-12 and a fifthplace finish at district.

Okanogan 6, PWV 5 (9 ings)
The Titans lost a heartbreaker 6-5 versus thirdseeded Okanogan 6-5 in 9 innings May 26. With the game tied 4-4, PWV scored a run in the top of the ninth, but the Bulldogs responded with two in the bottom half for the walk off victory.
“The top of our lineup stayed hot as we put another 13 hits together,” Hopfer said. “I think the difference maker was that we stranded 11 runners because we just couldn’t find the gaps with some extra base hits. Then on defense, Emery stayed hot with 14 K’s. We went to nine innings and that was hard on Emery, being that was the second game of the day. I would say, overall it was great. Both teams had some miscues but overall, Okanogan came out on top – scoring a walk off run in the bottom of the ninth to make it 6-5.”
Okanogan (21-2) knotted the game at 4-4 in its last at-bat in the seventh, sending the game into extra innings. The Titans pounded 13 hits, including four by Matlock (RBI, dbl, tpl). Hodel clubbed 3 hits and Peterson (RBI) and Huber (RBI) belted two each. Channell delivered an RBI-double.

“We played the first game against Kittitas and executed everything we had planned,” Hopfer said.
“We were aggressive on the bases and put 11 runs on them. On defense, Emery was spot-on. She had 10 K’s once we dialed in the umpire’s zone.
“Lauren Emery did absolutely awesome this year,” Hopfer said. “She stepped her game up and really gained the confidence she needed to lead this team in the circle. Ken Olson (former head coach) and I were talking and went back and looked at the pitching stats since the inception of PWV softball. Lauren has the most strikeouts of any PWV pitcher to date. She recorded 197 strikeouts in 148 innings pitched while only giving up 15 bases on balls. She is able to use her different spins to hit the spots that we needed to exploit the batter's weaknesses. I am so proud of her and it was absolutely a thing of beauty to watch her gain confidence with every game she pitched. She is going to be a force to be reckoned with for next year.”

SOUTH BEND – The South Bend HS track and field team celebrated its season with the annual spring sports banquet last Wednesday night at the high school.
“It was an outstanding year for South Bend track,” SBHS head track and field coach Greg Hinz told the Herald. “We had numerous kids that came out and found out that even though track is a lot of hard work, it can also be a lot of fun.”
Ten SBHS student-athletes were given awards by Coach Hinz, including:
Overall Male Athlete: Ferrill Johnson; Overall Female Athlete : Jaylee Capps;
Outstanding Senior, Male: Judah Milton;
Outstanding Senior, Female: Elli Capps;
Outstanding Junior, Male: Robby Stigall;
Outstanding Junior, Female: Mackenzie Kuiken;
Outstanding Sophomore, Female:
Jaylee Capps; Outstanding Sophomore, Male: Jaron Xayabandith;
Outstanding Freshman, Female: Allison Myhres; Outstanding Freshman, Male: Carson Ridderbush; Coach Hinz thanked his assistant coaches. “Special thanks to all the assistants for the help in building a winning team.”
The assistant coaches include: Drew Ege, shot put and discus; Jon Ashley, distance runners and high jumpers; Hannah Jewell, javelin; Joel Penoyar, shot put; Emily Sanchez, junior high student athletes and all the jumpers; and Tom Sanchez, for running the track meets and doing the starting gun for track meets at home.
“We had one (heck) of a year.” Hinz said. “Stay tuned for 2024; it's going to be an interesting year.
“The ongoing joke with me and the kids is I want to fill two buses full of athletes to represent South Bend, and I will accomplish it real soon – even though I may have to get my CDL to drive the second bus,” Hinz said half-kiddingly.

Willapa Independent Senior Housing Board (WISH) and Willapa Harbor Hospital (WHH) are excited to announce the sale of the Alder House to the Joint Pacific County Housing Authority (JPCHA) in partnership with Housing of Southwest Washington (HOSWWA).
In March of 2023, JPCHA and HOSWWA were awarded a Department of Commerce Loan to purchase the Alder House with
the intended use requirements of meeting a LowIncome Housing Demand for Seniors. Specifically, seniors over 55+ and on the scale of 50-80% under the Average Median Income.
We expect the Department of Commerce to release the funding to close the sale before the end of this year.
The leader of HOSSWA, Jennifer Westermann, will notify publicly the opportunity and pathway to apply for housing, and she recent-
ly stated the building will undergo an approximately (1) year-long remodel prior to any tenants moving in. Thank you for your patience during the time the Alder House was closed.

The Washington State Patrol (WSP) is aware that a handful of WSP associated phone numbers are being “spoofed” - illegally obtained and used for fraudulent purposes - in an apparent scam to get the unsuspecting to provide their personal information. The scammers call and identify themselves as an officer, trooper or detective from WSP and tell the unsuspecting citizen their ID was used and is connected to a crime being investigated in another state or country. They then seek actual personal information for “verification.”
When those called have questioned the validity of the call, the scammers point to the number on caller ID and say something like “If you don’t believe I am State Patrol, Google it.” They also
provide the citizen with a fake case number if it is requested.
THIS IS A SCAM! DO NOT FALL FOR IT! WSP would never call and seek your personal or financial information. These “spoofers” are trying to steal from you by first stealing the reputation of a trusted community partner like WSP. “Spoofing” or “number hijacking” occurs when a caller masquerades as someone else by forging the number that appears on caller ID devices. The target of the illegal procedure might respond to the call or give it undue credibility because of the trusted name or number displayed or the message delivered.
WSP is actively investigating the situation but this sort of crime often
originates overseas and is very difficult to solve and prosecute. Knowledge is your best defense.
AGAIN – The WSP urges all citizens to be vigilant in protecting both their personal and financial information. Never give out your personal or financial information to strangers. If the calls continue, call 911 and let the Communications Officer you speak to know the time and content of the call as well as the number used. In the rare occurrence that someone from WSP has a legitimate need to talk to you, the contact will not be seeking your personal or financial information and be easily verifiable by multiple means.

Continued from page 1 there will be salmon for the next seven generations," said Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission (NWIFC) Chairman Ed Johnstone. "Conservation is our guiding principle and more needs to be done on all fronts to recover salmon from historically low numbers. Tribes have done a lot of work to restore and protect habitat and rebuild salmon populations. All of our efforts now must focus on the effects of climate change, ongoing habitat loss and marine mammal predation on salmon."
Season recommendations now move forward for approval by the National Marine Fisheries Service and final rulemaking, including additional opportunity for public comment and consideration of those comments.
Puget Sound
The Puget Sound pink salmon prediction is about 3.95 million and similar to the actual 3.77 million return in 2021. Pink salmon will remain part of daily catch limits in marine fisheries and limits in freshwater areas will be watershed-specific.
For coho, the Puget Sound hatchery and wild forecasts have generally increased overall. The Marine Area 9 (Admiralty Inlet) planned opener for marked coho is July 31-Sept. 17 and non-select coho is Sept. 18-30. The Marine Area 8-2 (Port Susan and Port Gardner) planned opener for non-select coho is Aug. 1-Sept. 24. In Marine Area 5 (Sekiu-Pillar Point) and Marine Area 6 (East Strait of Juan de Fuca) a non-select coho fishery is planned for Oct. 1-15.
Winter Chinook fisheries will look similar to last year in Puget Sound, with some Chinook retention opportunities planned in March and April of 2024 in Marine Area 5 (Sekiu), Marine Area 10 (Seattle-Bremerton) and Marine Area 11 (Tacoma-Vashon Island).
Most Puget Sound marine areas will once again open for a planned summer salmon season beginning in July or August, with June 1 openers currently planned for Marine Areas 10 and 11.
Columbia River
Summer salmon fisheries on the Columbia River are expected to be slightly improved compared to last year, with fishing planned from the Astoria-Megler bridge to Highway 395 bridge in Pasco and below Bonneville Dam scheduled to open June 16 through July 31. Sockeye retention is expected to be allowed in the daily salmonid bag limit beginning June 16.
Fall fisheries from Buoy 10 to the Highway 395 bridge in Pasco is planned for an Aug. 1 opener, with different dates by area for Chinook and coho, and includes steelhead restrictions throughout the river. Another strong coho run is expected and the Chinook run size is better than the 2022 forecast but below the actual return and should provide for some good fishing opportunities.
Coastal fisheries Washington’s ocean salmon fisheries reflect an improved forecast for some key Chinook stocks and a second consecutive year of large forecasts for hatchery coho. Fishery managers agreed during this week’s PFMC meeting to recreational ocean quotas of 39,000 Chinook and 159,600 marked coho.
Neah Bay (Marine Area 4) and La Push (Marine Area 3) will open for salmon retention beginning June 17, followed by Ilwaco (Marine Area 1) and Westport-Ocean Shores (Marine Area 2) on June 24. All areas are scheduled to remain open until Sept. 30 or until quotas are met, with species and size restrictions dependent on the area.
In Grays Harbor (Marine Area 2-2), the Humptulips North Bay planned salmon season opens Aug. 1 for retention of hatchery Chinook and coho, and the East Grays Harbor planned fishery opens Sept. 16 for coho retention only.
In Willapa Bay (Marine Area 2-1), the planned coho and hatchery Chinook season opens Aug. 1. The Willapa Bay Control Zone opens for salmon in 2023.

Continued from page 1 and having something to do! Due to the unpredictable weather for the past two years, we have had a difficult time getting produce to the market. Freezing and an abundance of rain took the toll for the farmers we had planned to become regulars. This year we have been actively hunting for produce vendors and hope to offer more products to the public. We changed the theme to a Community Market because we want to support all small business people here in Pacific County. We are community oriented to not only support our small businesses but also our clients who love to shop locally!”
What does this year hold for the market? Spaman stated, “We have plans to add music, children’s events, more produce, vendors from all over Pacific County and farm products. At this point we are still searching for new vendors.”
Currently the vendors that are signed up for the opening of the market are:
•
Scentsy by Titana Burk
Fyfe Family Farms
• Timeless Talismans Jewelry and Metaphysical
• products
•
20 Hot Dogs Food Vendor
Atomic Flowers
• Jeremy Bartheld Glass Art
• Morghan Brookens Art and Face Painting
•
Aileen Halverson Author, Teas and Tarot Read-
• ing
•
Willapa Soap and Suds
Miriam Hernandez Mexican Food
•

And many more!
To be a vendor, you need to offer a product or service that the community would be interested in and then get approval by the market board. It costs $20/week when a vendor signs up for 8 weeks. It is $25 for drop ins on a weekly basis.
Drop into Timeless Talismans at 312 Duryea Street in Raymond from Tuesday to Friday from noon to 5:00
p.m. to apply. You can also apply at Alder and Company in raymond.
