Indians mascot will soon be a thing of the past

GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com SOUTH BEND – With legislation now passed and signed into law by Gov. Jay Inslee, South Bend School District must change its Indian mascot. Going into effect July 25 is SHB 1356, a bill prohibiting Washington schools from using Native American names, symbols, and images as school mascots, logos, or team names, and requires all schools to be in compliance by January, 2022. For South Bend HS, Patients at Willapa Chiropractic and Henry Hackadoo will have too.

always multiple opinions and feelings with sensitive issues such as this, we will do our best to comply as required.”

The district is doing its best to comply with the law. We are mandated to make the change before Jan 1, 2022.”

The Herald asked Dr. Tienhaara if, over the years, he has heard complaints from the public about SBHS using “Indians” as a mascot.

“To answer your question directly, the district has received complaints from various members of the public in the past. We have also received support from various members of the public in the past.”

Dr. Tienhaara answered several questions posed from the Herald about what the

current situation at SBHS is, what the school board is doing, the procedure the school district will follow about changing the mascot, what input the students and community will have in selecting a new mascot, etc.

According to Dr. Tienharra, the South Bend School District Board of Directors has directed the formation of a committee to conduct a process for selecting a new school team name/mascot.

The committee has been formed and consists of school staff, community members, alumni, tribal members, and students. At their first meeting, the committee identified several possible team names with the additional option of a "write-in" choice.

Dr. Tienhaara added that South Bend students will have the opportunity to give input before the school year ends and the South Bend community will have the opportunity to provide input in the coming weeks. Once input from students and the community is collected, a recommendation from the committee will be made to the board of directors. The goal is to select a new team name prior to the beginning of the 2021-22 school year.

Dr. Tienhaara did not know what mascots were being considered to replace Indians. “I do not at this time have the official list.

More info will be coming out soon.”

Peterson, Floeter retiring from Willapa Valley School District

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com MENLO – Two high profile Willapa Valley School District educational professionals, John Peterson and Ned Floeter, are retiring from the district at the end of the current school year for personal reasons, Willapa Valley Superintendent of Schools Nancy Morris announced last week.

Peterson is retiring from the classroom, but not the coaching sidelines. Peterson is currently the head girls varsity basketball coach and is an assistant football coach with the Pe Ell-Willapa Valley Titans.

He was also the athletic director for several years at Valley and was the head coach for WVHS boys basketball for several years and coached track and field.

Peterson, who was inducted into the Washington

“John is well known for his caring nature and plain talk when needed to get kids on track in the classroom or on the field or court. John always has kids’ best interests at heart, and he will be sorely missed by all.” ~ Nancy Morris, Willapa Valley Superintendent

State Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2016, talked to the Herald by phone Sunday morning about his decision to retire from teaching after 29 years at Valley and 37 years overall, including one year at North Beach School District and seven years at the Concrete School District.

Peterson has an associate of arts degree from Grays Harbor College, a bachelor of arts degree from Eastern Washington University (Cheney) and a master of arts degree in education from City University of Seattle. During his high

school teaching career, Peterson said he has taught history (including world, Washington State, and U.S.), basic math, health and physical education, English, pre-algebra, and algebra. Peterson said his favorite eras of history are the Civil War and World War II. “It's just time,” Peterson said. “I'm ready. It's time to turn the page. Thirty-seven years is probably enough.”

Peterson admitted that teaching under the current COVID-19 conditions has not been as enjoyable as

Walker took talents to next level Vikings finish second at district

Logan Walker

By GEORGE KUNKE MENLO – Former Willapa Valley HS student-athlete Logan Walker finished his high school requirements early and opted to forego his senior season and play for Grays Harbor College this season. Walker graduated from WVHS Saturday as the school's valedictorian.

As a junior, Walker led the Vikings in scoring (18.4 ppg) and rebounding (6.8 rpg) during the 2019-20 season when Valley posted a 21-9 record and finished fifth at the state tournament.

Walker made the first team all-state team. He was quite a sharpshooter – going 79 percent from the free throw line, 47 percent from twopoint range and 34 percent from 3-point-land in 29 games.

Earlier this season, WVHS Head Boys' Basketball Coach Jay Pearson weighed in on Walker's absence for the Herald.

“Well, I'm not going to lie that you can't replace a player like Logan Walker,” Coach Pearson said. “However, we have been building a program here at Willapa

Valley over the past several years with several great players and will be just fine this year.

“Yes, we will miss Logan; however, after the Hoquiam game, you saw our teams' potential and the capabilities of our players.

We decided in December that it would be in the best interest for Logan to move on to the next level as the high school season sure looked like it wasn't going to happen. If it did happen, the season would be a limited number of games, maybe just a Pacific County league or districts at best and for sure no state tournament.

If Logan took this opportunity to play college ball, he would have a free year of eligibility, a guaranteed season and the opportunity to get better as a basketball player competing against older, much quicker and talented college players.

“There was really no decision to be made, Logan had the opportunity for a guaranteed season compared to an uncertain high school season, he got the opportunity to play the sport he loved this year and it will only enhance his basketball skills as a player,” Coach Pearson added. “He still supports our team and his friends and we will always support him as well.”

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@ gmail.com Willapa Valley's season ended at the Class 1B District IV Boys' Basketball Tournament title tilt with a 66-51 defeat at the hands of Naselle last Tuesday night (June 8) at Oakville HS. The Vikings played the game without their top players in Beau Buchanan (first team all-league), who had to miss the game for some Marine training camp in Portland, Oregon.

“We were a little shorthanded as Tyler Adkins (first team all-league) did play, however with a severely sprained ankle that slowed him down to half speed at best,” WVHS head coach Jay Coach Pearson told the Herald. “With those two outs and limited, we knew that our only chance to win this game was we had to make our shots (19 of 55, 35%) and we didn’t tonight.”

Naselle's Colby Glen led all scorers with 26 points. Riley Pearson was tops for the Vikes in scoring with 11 points.

The Vikings ended the season with a fine record of 11-4 after going into the season without perhaps their best player in senior Logan Walker, who graduated early and ended up playing for Grays Harbor College. (See story in today's Herald.)

“I’m very proud of how hard our kids worked tonight, competed and never gave up,” said Coach Pearson, who was named the 1B Columbia Valley District League Coach of the Year by his peers.

“However, when you don’t make shots that you normally make, it becomes a difficult game. It just wasn’t our night.

“Overall, we had a very successful season with several different players stepping up and taking advantage of their opportunity of playing time when they had the chance,” Coach Pearson said. “By far this was one of my best seasons of coaching when it came to individual and team growth. These guys are a great group of kids, fun to be with and fun to watch them play the game of basketball. My hats off to my two seniors this season in Joseph Pulsipher and Beau Buchanan. They both had solid seasons and I thank them for their time and dedication to our program.”

Joseph Pulsifer collected 13 rebounds and scored 9 points. Adkins tallied 8 points and Derek Fluke (7 rebs) and Gavin Hampton each netted 7 points.

“Joseph Pulsipher had one of his best games of his career,” Coach Pearson said. “He was the one player that at-

Vikes end season with loss to Mossyrock

By GEORGE KUNKE MENLO – Willapa Valley was eliminated in the semifinals of the District IV 1B Girls Basketball Tournament last Monday night (June 7) at Oakville, 50-15.

“You're not gonna score 15 points,” WVHS head coach John Peterson told the Herald. “You gotta be able to shoot the ball. We didn't.

The Vikings were futile from the field while sinking only 12 percent (5 of 42) of their shots, including 0 for 22 from

3-point range.

“Our kids tried really hard,” Peterson said. “We just could not score.”

Graduated senior Cami Swartz led Valley in scoring with 5 points and she also blocked 4 shots. Hannah Hamilton pulled down 6 rebounds and Ana Chavez had 4.

Chayse Coady added 2 assists.

Valley fell behind 16-3 after the first quarter and trailed 32-9 at halftime. The Vikes were held scoreless in the third See vikes Page A3

tacked the basket for us, got us going on the runs that we did make and was our leading rebounder. I’m proud of him and what a heck of a game to end your high school career on. I hope for nothing but the best for him and Beau in the future.”

The Comets (15-1) flew off to an 18-5 lead after the first quarter and were ahead at halftime, 33-20. The margin shot to 51-32 after three stops.

Vikes 71, Mossyrock 43 Willapa Valley opened district action with a lopsided win over Mossyrock 71-43 in the semifinal district matchup at Oakville. Buchanan dominated in the paint with 16 points, 11 caroms and 5 blocked shots. Buchanan sank 8 of 12 field goal attempts.

“Beau was a force inside for us tonight to say the least,” Coach Pearson told the Herald.

“I think some of us might have been a little nervous for their first district game; however, after we calmed down, we took care of the ball, made our shots and made the right reads on the court,” Coach Pearson said. “However, our best aspects of the game were on defense.

Tyler Adkins and Wil Clements teamed up and held Mossy’s leading scorer, Mulligan, to only four first half points and Derek Fluke shut down their second leading scorer, Munos, to zero first half points and six total for the game, limiting Mossyrock to only 12 first half points.

“Offensively, we had balance scoring up and down the line up with everyone who went into the game contributing,” Coach Pearson added.

Fluke scored 15 points and handed off 4 assists and Adkins dropped in a dozen points.

Derek Fluke just didn’t let his defense speak for itself, he also attacked the basket well offensively...by far this was Fluke’s best game of the season,” Coach Pearson noted.

“It was just a great overall game; however, it was a game with a cost.”

Coach Pearson said. “Tyler had a severe ankle injury in the first half. He played through it for a while; however, he was obviously in pain, not himself and with the game in hand, we sat him down for the second half. Hopefully, we will be able to have him for the district championship.”

Willapa Valley led 16-7 after one quarter and 32-12 at halftime.

Naselle defeated Taholah 60-49 in the other semifinal game.

Raymond ends season with 11-2 record

Kyra Gardner - Pacific League Co-MVP

By GEORGE KUNKE Raymond's cold shooting was key in losing to Toledo (42-38) at the District IV

Girls' Basketball Tournament last Tuesday (June 8) at Seagull gym. Co-Pacific League MVP Kyra Gardner, a junior, led the Lady Seagulls in scoring with 16 points.

“When you don’t make shots, you make an easy game become very difficult and that was the story tonight,” RHS head coach Jason Koski told the Herald.

“Even though we didn’t make shots, we gave ourselves a chance with our work ethic on the defensive end, but we just couldn’t get the stop we needed in the last 20 (seconds) to help our odds.”

Raymond found itself behind 8-2 after one quarter and 19-10 at halftime and

still trailed 30-21 heading into the final frame. Raymond shot 31 percent from the field on 18 of 58. The Lady Seagulls went to the free throw only once (0-1) during the game and committed 15 turnovers.

Pacific League First Team member Karsyn Freeman, just an eighth grader, scored 11 points and senior Hannah Miller (Pacific League Second Team) pulled down 11 rebounds and had 2 thefts.

Gardner grabbed 9 boards, made 5 steals and handed off 3 assists.

Raymond, which won the Pacific League with a record of 10-1, ended the season at 11-2 overall.

“Even though our sea-

son ended earlier than we hoped, we are grateful to have even had a season and a league championship to show for it,” Coach Koski said.

Raymond graduated only two seniors in Hannah Miller and Maddie Silvernail.

“We will be losing two seniors, but returning nine letter winners to keep the winning tradition alive,” Koski, who was named CoPacific League Coach of the Year, added.

Kyndal Koski was named to the league's second team as a ninth grader.

Wahkiakum (16-1) won the district championship game over Toledo (11-4) 55-29 and Adna (11-1) defeated Ilwaco (12-4)

for third place 45-41 last Thursday.

Lady Gulls 48, Ducks 27 Raymond opened district play with a 48-27 whipping of Toutle Lake last Monday (June 7) at Seagull gym.

Gardner netted 10 points, stole the ball 8 times, blocked 4 shots and dished out 4 assists.

“Collectively we came out and weathered the ups and downs of the game,” Coach Koski said. “Knowing we may have to possibly play back-to-back before our game tonight started, I wanted to save some of our kids’ legs as much as possible, so we ended up in some not so familiar playing rotations which didn’t

let us get into our normal rhythm and flow.

“Defensively, we were much more solid in our assignments and effort,” Coach Koski said, adding that he was “very happy to see our depth come through in a loser-out game.”

Freeman and Grace Busenius each scored 11 points.

Raymond jumped out to a 17-4 lead after one quarter. The Lady Seagulls led 29-17 at halftime and 43-22 after three quarters.

Both teams scored only five points in the fourth quarter.

Raymond fired up 71 shots, making good on 18 for 25 percent.

Adna ends Seagulls’ season

Morgan Anderson - Pacific League First Team

By GEORGE KUNKE Raymond's season ended after a first round defeat by Adna, 70-50, at the District IV basketball tourney last Monday (June 7) at Seagull gym. Sophomore Morgan Anderson (First Team Pacific League) paced RHS in scoring with 14 points and Adrian Quintana and Deleak Hubbard popped in a dozen points apiece..

“Our kids played well today,” RHS head coach Derek Rask told the Herald. “We fought hard, but lost steam in the fourth quarter. It was a tight game most of the way until midway through the fourth.

Adna hit some big shots down the stretch to open the game up. We knew they were good shooters from the perimeter, particularly from the 3-point line, and they proved it in the fourth.

We did a nice job contesting shots up to that point.”

The Pirates led 15-6 after one quarter and by only four at intermission, 31-27.

The lead was only eight (52-44) heading into the final eight minutes. Adna outscored the Seagulls 18-4 in the final panel.

“Adrian Quintana (7 rebounds) and Deleak Hubbard were solid for us offensively, and Morgan Anderson finished with 14 points,” Rask said.

Jaxson Freeman led the Gulls in rebounding with 11, and he also made 3 steals.

“I would like to point out Jaxson Freeman’s hustle and effort as well. His efforts don’t always lead to being on the stat sheet, but he certainly makes positive things happen consistently.

“I also want to congratulate our only senior, Joseph Villalpando, on a fantastic season,” Rask added. “Joseph is a great kid, and it has been an honor to be his coach.”

Raymond shot 33 percent from the floor on 18 of 55. The Gulls committed 19 turnovers.

The Seagulls finished the season with a 3-9 record.

Letters to the Editor

To the Editor, There are three current economic issues that highlight my concerns for the overall ineptness of our elected officials in Washington D.C. First, attaching the Covid-19 relief bill to the December 2020, pork laden spending bill was ludicrous. This 5,500+ page, 1.9 trillion dollar ($1,900,000,000,000) document, which I am sure didn’t get read before passing, brings to mind Nancy Pelosi’s comment “we have to approve it so that we can find out what is in it.” These two issues should have been presented and discussed separately and then

However, it did not affect his decision to retire, something he planned to do in 2021. “Teaching online stuff...I've always been about being in the classroom...building relationships,” he said. “I don't wanna talk to a screen. I'm not the most computer literate person.”

“John is well known for his caring nature and plain talk when needed to get kids on track in the classroom or on the field or court,” Morris said. “John always has kids’ best interests at heart, and he will be sorely missed by all.”

During his time off Peterson said he plans to “work out every day, I like to cut the yard. I might get the golf clubs out.” Peterson used to have a 6-stroke handicap. “I like to see my grandson in Alaska.”

Peterson is leaving the door open if needed in a pinch.

Superintendent Morris said the district has re-opened the position, adding that the district is looking for “just the right fit” for principal.

Facing possible financial challenges because of the recent multiple levy failures, the district may choose to go without a principal in the building for the time being, according to Morris. “While this is not the best option, it may be the financially necessary option for now,” Morris said.

Vintage Radio Show 1947 premiers Friday

SOUTH BEND – The Willapa Players are pleased to present their upcoming production of Vintage Radio Show 1947, written and directed by Russell Wiitala. Taking place at a South Bend radio station, it is a variety show with romantic comedy, suspense, a prophet and even a debate regarding clam digging methods.

This play is a unique theater experience as it will be presented via FM radio to an audience in their cars or seated outside. The Vintage Radio Show 1947 will be followed by a concert of original music.

You can join this premier at the new Willapa Players

venue, located at 124 Spruce Street in South Bend. Show dates are June 18, 19, 25 and 26 at 7:30 pm. There is also a 2:00 p.m. matinee on June 27. Tickets are $20 per car, or $10 per pedestrian and are available at the door or in advance at Raymond Pharmacy and South Bend Pharmacy.

“Come experience innovative theater as the Willapa Players provide an unconventional and entertaining community theater performance,” said Linda Anderson on behalf of Willapa Players.

It all began 39 years ago, when on August 10, 1982, David and Tammy Slater’s dream of opening a restaurant came true. The doors of The Pizza Loft opened on the corner of Duryea and Third in the heart of downtown Raymond, where it would go on to become a favorite among locals and travelers for the next 17 years. Serving up their famous stuffed sandwiches, homemade pizza and calzones, cook-off winning chowder, fresh salads, deli sandwiches and, of course, Tammy’s own spaghetti and delicious carrot cake. Also let’s not forget the criss-cut fries and Slater’s ranch dressing.

Eventually, an opportunity came for the Slaters to bring their restaurant to Hwy 101. With the new location came a new name for the beloved restaurant. The Pizza Loft became Slater’s Diner, a 50s themed diner with an energetic, happy atmosphere, serving up the same great food plus some new menu items. Over the years the diner has hosted several school events and even live music from local Elvis tribute artist Jason Whited.

From the very beginning in 1982 until now David and Tammy have greatly enjoyed getting to know the people and the community they live and work in. They’ve built many lasting friendships with their customers, employees and travelers who just had to come eat at Slater’s on the

yearly trips.

Many local school kids got their start working at both the Pizza Loft and the diner. Some of which came back to work summers at the restaurant during their college years. As their careers and families have grown they often bring them back to enjoy great memories and their favorite foods.

“We’ve really enjoyed our time in the restaurant work and always hoped that when it came time for us to retire, that an employee, past or present, would want to take over the business, pursuing their own dream,” said David and Tammy. Well that time has come.

Beginning August 1, 2021, Charles and Coby Moreno will take over as the new owners of the diner. Coby has been a server and manager of the restaurant for the past 5 years and her husband Charles is one of the cooks.

They’re excited to be embarking on a new adventure and plan on continuing Slater's high standard and quality of good eats. You can also expect some new menu items.

“We wish Charles and Coby great success,” said David and Tammy. “We also want to thank our families, all of our employees over the years, and of course, our customers and community for their continued support. Each and every one of you has been a key to our success.”

Willapa Harbor Poppies in the field

By Pete Darrah, Commander Post 150 The poppies on Flanders Field did not grow there Herald by themselves. The American flags and crosses did not show up next to tombstones on Fern Hill on Memorial by accident, either. A small army of Raymond school Pacific County Day students stepped up to assist American Legion Post 150 to celebrate Memorial Day 2021.

Justin Kyle Durham, 44, of Copalis Beach, passed away at his home Saturday, June 5, 2021.

Thomas Jefferson once said “To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. ... I am for a government rigorously frugal and simple.”

And third, providing individuals more money through unemployment benefits than they make at their jobs is not going to help us get out of the economic crisis we are currently facing. This action revises President Kennedy’s famous phrase to now read “ask not what you can do for your county, but ask what your country can do for you.”

Congratulations,Tegen!

Your hard work and dedication have paid off!

We are proud of your accomplishments and look forward to watching you as you choose your path in life.

In the words of Wilma Mankiller: “The happiest people I’ve ever met, regardless of their profession, their social standing, or their economic status, are people that are fully engaged in the world around them. The most fulfilled people are the ones who get up every morning and stand for something larger than themselves. They are the people who care about others, who will extend a helping hand to someone in need or will speak up about an injustice when they see it.”

RHS Principal Dave Vetter congratulates graduates

By DAVE VETTER RHS Principal Graduates, you have just completed the toughest school year that America has ever seen, yet you persevered. You adapted to, and dealt with, a once in a century pandemic. You are a very special group of graduates. I want to congratulate you on being pioneers in an era when being a pioneer is hard. I’m excited for you because you have the opportunity to decide how you want to move forward in your lives. I hope you decide that fairness, self-reflection, generosity, honesty, hard work and good values are the building blocks of your lives.

You have a strong Seagull Legacy to carry on. Your school has a strong history of doctors, lawyers, inventors, poets, business owners, and, most importantly,

leaders. You have a perfect opportunity to be amazing. I challenge you to take advantage of this opportunity and not sit back and wait for life to come to you. Be unique, walk your own path based upon the needs that you see everyday. You are at the threshold of greatness. Whether you are an electrician, teacher, an engineer, or a writer, you have unlimited possibilities in front of you. Be great at whatever you choose.

Your path is your character defining itself more and more every day, like a photograph coming into focus. It’s up to you to make your lives, and your contributions to society, a wonderful portrait.

Congratulations to the Class of 2021.

You will achieve great things and make the world a better place. I feel comfortable leaving the fate of society in your hands.
