Committee describes new uses for facility Some changes already implemented at NVH’s Assisted Living building

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - The structure formerly known as North Valley Assisted Living did not sit unused for long, as some of the changes recommended by the NVH Space Allocation Committee have already been implemented.

Three members of the committee -- Business Development Coordinator Terri Orford, Facilities Director Kelly Cariker and Chief Financial Officer Helen Verhasselt -- reviewed the planned uses, current progress and financial effects of the new uses of the building after the assisted living facility was closed in March.

Orford outlined the uses of the newlynamed Verbeck Building at the NVH Board of Commissioners meeting on Thursday, June 13, as follows:

TONASKET - Late in May, after discussing streets and parking issues on several occasions over the preceding few months, the Tonasket City Council passed ordinances that turned a portion of Tonasket Avenue into a one-way street, as well as requiring a permit and otherwise restricting the number of yard sales in residential areas.

Now, apparently, the real discussion will begin. Despite multiple appearances on the council’s agenda and a town hall meeting specifically to discuss streets and parking issues - long a problem in the Tonasket Avenue neighborhood - at least some residents were taken by surprise by the new ordinacnes.

Three of them attended the Tuesday, June 11, city council meeting to question why they hadn’t been informed of the

Theft investigations lead to several arrests

OKANOGAN – After a lengthy investigation by the sheriff ’s office and local police departments, several arrests have been made in connection with a spate of burglaries and thefts taking place in the county.

For the last several weeks several law enforcement agencies, including the Okanogan County Sheriff ’s Office, Omak Tonasket and Oroville Police Department and the state Fish and Wildlife

• Seven more on-call staff apartments that can also be used for trainers and contractors. Orford said that in studying other regional hospitals, it was discovered that such facilities were considered standard. Staff will also furnish and do most of the apartment cleaning themselves, so there is no additional cost to the hospital on that front.

• The business office will be relocated here from the basement area. Orford said this was one move made in response to last year’s community survey, which cited poor public access as an issue.

• The library will be changed over to a meeting space, while committee member Karen Schimpf was also looking into creating a medical and hospital history library as well.

“A lot of these cases involved burglaries, residential burglaries and thefts involving vehicles, trailers, chain- Kyle L. Campbell saws and several other items.”

Arrested were: Brandy M. Summers, 36, of Tonasket; Thomas D. Summers, 41, of Tonasket; Daggon D. Chaska, 21, of Tonasket; Kyle L. Campbell, 25, of Oroville; Xavier L. Smith,

21, of Oroville, Mark V. Napoli and David J. Donovan, 57, of Tonasket.

The burglaries and thefts ranged from Okanogan and Omak to Tonasket and Oroville and to several areas in between each of the towns. Some of the cases involved burglaries and thefts at homes on Hwy. 20 out of Tonasket between May 21 and 22.

Other burglary and Xavier L. Smith theft cases occurred on Jennings Loop Road near Oroville on May 25 and another burglary and theft on

Law enforcement agencies executed many search warrants at residences where large amounts of stolen property have been recovered, according to Rogers.

A search warrant executed by the sheriff ’s office at 221 Cobey Creek Road on June 5 resulted in the recovered several thousand dollars of stolen property, which included yard equipment, rifles, chainsaws, clothing, generators, tools, compressors and air tanks, said Rogers, adding that a large portion of the stolen items from the county cases have been recovered and returned to the victims of some of these cases.

changes.

Christina Collins, a resident of Tonasket Avenue, said the council should have done more to keep citizens apprised of the process, saying she didn’t feel the council gave neighborhood residents enough notice that there would be such changes.

“With all due respect, we had a town meeting, advertised, that we sat and listened to comments for about two hours,” said council member Scott Olson.

“We wanted to find out what would be the best street improvement to deal with ... specifically, one of the issues was the concern for parking on Tonasket Avenue.

We thought a one-way would give us less travel and more parking.

“We thought we were trying to solve the issue of property not having parking, rather than enforce the parking. We

amount of work and they did an excellent job on this case,: Rogers said.

“The team effort and communication between all of the agencies who worked on these cases was impressive and a huge part of why they were able to solve so many cases and make so many arrests. All of the agencies involved should be commended on the work they did.”

Charges on those arrested varied from trafficking first degree, residential burglary, burglary, possession stolen property second degree, possession of a stolen vehicle, theft third and unlawful possession of fire- Thomas Summers arms.

Campbell, who was arrested May 28, was charged in Okanogan County Superior Court on May 30 with first degree trafficking in stolen property. Campbell was also charged, along with Smith, who was arrested May 31, with

residential burglary, second degree burglary and third degree theft in connection with the May 25 burglary on Jennings Loop Road.

The Summers, who were arrested May 27, were each charged on May 30 with possession of a stolen motor vehicle and second degree possession of Mark V. Napoli stolen property in connection with incidents that occurred on May 22 and May 27.

Napoli was booked on May 5 on a charge of first degree trafficing of stolen property, About those arrested and whether they worked together or separately, the sheriff said that although the suspects apparently knew each other, most were operating on their own.

“The investigations are still on going with additional charges are possible and additional arrests to be made,” said Rogers.

The Tonasket Elementary school would like to thank the Oroville Masons Club for their generous donation of two bicycles for the Bikes for Books program. The bikes were awarded to two students who showed the most growth in the school for reading throughout the year. The lucky winners were first grade student Jade Ramon in Mr. Mathews’ class and 2nd grade student Kaylee Fox in Mrs. Morris’ class.

• Health and rehab will be moved here, with exercise equipment being moved into what had been the main room.

“Right now it’s really crowded,” Orford said. “The nice thing about having the treatment rooms is they are HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant.

Right now when people are coming in for their therapy there’s people working out, and right next to them people on a bench getting treated by a therapist ... so there’s no privacy and some people prefer that.”

• Human Resources will be moved out of the basement, largely in response to feedback from current and prospective employees. Also, there are not private restrooms available for mandatory employee drug testing.

• Accounting, information systems, and an additional meeting room will be moved into this area. The administration offices and board room otherwise will remain as they are now.

Orford added that NVH isn’t in position to add new services at this point.

“With the Affordable Care Act (‘Obamacare’), we’re staying with what we do well,” she said. “Adding services would be a gamble.”

Cariker reported on the progress of changing over to the new space utilization.

“We wanted to capture all the

square footage as quickly as possible so that we could get it on the cost report,” he said. “We didn’t want it just sitting empty.”

He said that when the use of a room wasn’t changed, the Department of Health allowed it to be used immediately for the same purpose. In this case, that meant that moving providers who were in apartments could almost immediately move into the Verbeck Building rooms.

“We had all the furniture we’d already purchased - so we were able to furnish the apartments upstairs with furniture we already had.”

nated are the meals, laundry and supplies, and that will be $234,000.”

Dingus, Zaracor and Associates, the hospital’s independent auditor, will re-run cost report numbers based on the square footage added in to give NVH an idea of what its reimbursements will be in the future.

“The amount we have to write off will be reduced, so the net amount of cash that’s coming into the facility will be increased.”

Other steps include: • a full inventory of what was in the building, so that equipment could be reallocated as needed; • other equipment will be subject to a surplus sale; • working on a functional plan for the Department of Health, where areas of the building that are changing their use will be brought up to code for those uses.

He also reviewed some of the changes to spaces being vacated by departments moving into the Verbeck Building.

Verhasselt reviewed the financial effects of the changes. shift over and become allowable expenses “The depreciation, interest, utilities that were previously on Assisted Living, and maintenance, will shift over to the hospital side,” she said. “Also the interdivision lease will go away.

So the net effect is $195,000 that will shift over to the hospital.

DOH DROPS IN CEO Linda Michel reported that the Department of Health showed up for an unscheduled inspection on May 22, which is done on a periodic basis.

“They saw quite a difference from their last visit, which was 24 months ago,” Michel said. “They just pop in and say, ‘Good morning, we’re here for three days.’ We were ready for them.

“They found very little in their opinion that we could improve on. They said they had to dig pretty deep...

“They said we were very friendly, asked questions because we wanted to improve, and said they were very pleased.”

Michel listed a number of findings, considered minor, that were corrected before the DOH team departed.

“They left early (by a few hours),” she said. “It was a good inspection. And of course that is public and on their DOH site.”

The Board of Commissioners next meets on Thursday, June 27, at 7:00 p.m. in the NVH board room.

“I think what he’s trying to say is that was the city’s way of trying to notify everybody - “ council member Jill Vugteveen began.

“Why didn’t you just go door to door?” Collins asked. “Why should I have to read my bill or read paper? Or, I’m in the phone book. Please call us, we have an issue.”

“We don’t have the means to do that,” Vugteveen said, noting that nearly all of the council members and the mayor have full time jobs.

“We attempted to do that through our notification for public hearing here to discuss these issues,” Vugteveen said.

“Whether you didn’t read the paper to get that, those are the city’s ways of contacting the public, through the billing and

through the paper, to notify you that this is what’s occurring and this is when it’s occurring. We invite you to attend if you have input before we make a final decision.”

After further discussion, Collins said she would bring more of her neighbors to the next council meeting to discuss the issue, and city clerk Alice Attwood said she would add the item to the June 25 meeting agenda.

The council also discussed the possibility of making inroads with the railroad in negotiating a second (south) entrance to Chief Tonasket Park.

They also scheduled public hearings for water use efficiency goals and the six-year transportation plan, both as part of the July 23 council meeting.

I went door-to-door today and asked all my neighbors. And not one of them knew.”

“Every one of you got this bill,” said Mayor Patrick Plumb, holding up a copy of a utility bill from March that had a notice of the April town hall meeting on it. He also noted that the ordinance was posted in the GazetteTribune’s pubilc notices.

OROVILLE - On June 14, 2013, the Okanogan Highlands Alliance (OHA) notified Crown Resources/Kinross Gold that a citizen lawsuit in Federal District Court may be filed in 60 days, charging the companies with violations of their National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and the Clean Water Act (CWA), unless all violations are stopped.

After more than five years of gold production at the Buckhorn Mine, the violations of the NPDES and the CWA are well documented in monthly water quality monitoring data, according to the group. In a press release last week they claim the mine has: 1) Failed to establish and maintain the groundwater capture zone 2) Discharged pollutants in excess of water quality limitations 3) Discharged pollutants without permit authority 4) Failed to comply with the Adaptive Management Plan (AMP) for Water Quality “OHA has tracked the water monitoring data from the mine as well as the on-the-ground conditions and made constructive suggestions to address the issues and concerns,” said David Kliegman, Executive Director of OHA. “If the regulatory agencies will not take adequate enforcement action, then citizens must take legal action to protect the water quality from degradation by mining activities.”

The OHA release states that the mine permit requires Crown Resources/Kinross Gold to implement an Adaptive Management Plan for Water Quality to ensure that actions will be taken if problems arise during mine operations. The plans include an early warning system to identify problems.

If monitoring shows that mine contaminants exceed background values outside the capture zone, the mining company is required to: inform the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology), identify how far contaminants have traveled, and make a plan to stop their spread.

OHA said the mining company has failed to honor this permit requirement. Instead, they say, since early 2010, even though the company’s own data show values that are consistently above background values, their required monthly reports to Ecology state that no exceedences have occurred. This reporting fails to acknowledge their own data in locations where values have consistently exceeded background values.

In April 2009, Crown Resources was issued a penalty of $40,000 by Ecology for failure to establish and maintain the capture zone, as well as AMP requirements related to capture zone failures.

In July 2012 Ecology issued the largest penalty in WA State history to the mining company ($395,000), for well-documented water quality and permit violations in 2011 and 2012, which the company subsequently appealed.

OHA alleges that Kinross has been in violation of its NPDES permit almost since the mine began operating, for more than 2,191 days. Citizen suits can bring penalties of up to $37,500 per day per violation.

“Crown’s appeal has been a waste of time, money and energy that would have been better spent addressing the water quality issues at the Buckhorn Mine,” Kliegman said.

“Kinross has the resources to fulfill its commitments to control the spread of pollutants.If a solution to the water quality issues at the mine is going to be found, the company must acknowledge the problems. There is no excuse for their failure to prevent contaminants from escaping capture and treatment.”

While Crown is allowed to discharge treated mine water at designated locations if contaminant levels meet water quality standards, the levels of contaminants outside the Buckhorn Mine’s capture zone indicate that pollution is escaping from the mine, according to OHA, which says Crown has been slow to respond to the fact that contaminants are escaping.

As the Buckhorn Mine approaches the end of its predicted production om 2015, OHA seeks increased action to reduce contaminant flow from the mine and to strengthen the long-term protection of local ground and surface water.

OHA is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about watershed issues and threats to the environment.

Ribbon cutting at new hatchery

SUBMITTED BY MICHELLE CAMPOBASSO COLVILLE CONFEDERATED TRIBES

The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation will host a First Salmon and RibbonCutting Ceremony to open a state-of-the-art hatchery June 20 in Bridgeport, Wash., near Chief Joseph Dam. The facility will significantly boost the availability of chinook salmon for the tribe and for sport fishing in the Columbia River as well as reintroduce spring chinook to the Okanogan River.

The $50 million hatchery will release up to 2.9 million chinook salmon. The construction and program implementation was a collaborative effort between the Colville Tribes, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Bonneville Power Administration and Grant County Public Utility District.

Additional partners include the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, Douglas County Public Utility District and Chelan County Public Utility District.

“The opening of the Chief Joseph Hatchery is a cause for celebration for the tribe,” said John Sirois, chairman of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. “It commemorates both the return of the chinook salmon and serves as a testament to the important and meaningful work that can be accomplished when federal, tribal and state entities come together for the common purpose of restoring our Columbia River.”

The completed project is due in part to a historic 2008 agreement, the Columbia Basin Fish Accords, that enables a greater level of cooperation between the federal agencies in the Northwest responsible for salmon recovery efforts and

“At the heart of this project is a lasting partnership that leverages the combined capabilities of the Colville Tribes and state and federal agencies to bring ecological, social and economic benefit to the Columbia River Basin,” said Lorri Bodi, vice president of BPA’s Environment, Fish and Wildlife department.

The main hatchery facility is located on 15 acres of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property on the north bank of the Columbia River within the boundaries of the Colville Indian Reservation.

The Colville Tribes will manage the hatchery under guidelines recommended by the Hatchery Scientific Review Group, a committee of scientists that reviewed all salmon and steelhead hatcheries in the Columbia Basin at the request of the U.S. Congress.

The complex will include 40 raceways (10 feet by 120 feet), three rearing ponds and three acclimation ponds (both onsite

and offsite at the Okanogan River). It will draw water from a combination of production wells and the reservoir behind the dam, Rufus Woods Lake.

The hatchery will help to rebuild naturally spawning salmon runs in areas impacted by the construction and operation of the Federal Columbia River Power System as well as provide partial mitigation for hydroelectric project impacts to Upper Columbia chinook salmon associated with the operation of the Mid-Columbia Public Utility District dams on the Columbia River.

The day’s activities, which are open to the public and start at 8 a.m., take place at both the Chief Joseph Hatchery administration building off of State Park Golf Course Road east of Washington State Route 17 and at a park adjacent to the hatchery.

Attendees can park at the Quik-E-Mart gas station in Bridgeport where shuttles will transport people to event and back. Look for the parking signs.

Prepping for nationals Tonasket’s Rituals team reflects on state FFA title

By Brent Baker bbaker@gazette-tribune.com

TONASKET - They may have just been freshmen, but they certainly made an impression at their first FFA state convention.

Madison Bayless, Janelle Catone, Jordan Hughes, Rade Pilkinton, Rachel Silverthorn and Jenna Valentine continued the proud tradition of the Tonasket FFA by winning the state championship in Rituals and earning a trip to Louisville, Kentucky in the fall to compete in the national convention.

As they looked forward to a summer filled with studying Robert’s Rules of Order and the official manual of FFA rituals, which includes such minutiae of officers’ duties and the order of closing ceremonies, with a couple of weeks’ perspective the kids also looked back at the thrill of bringing home a state title that some hoped for, but others seemed to expect.

Though ag instructor Matt Deebach took a parliamentary procedure team to the national convention two years ago, finishing second in the nation, he said he wasn’t sure what to expect for his soon-to-be-sophomores this fall.

“If it’s like parli pro, there could be 1,000 people watching,” he said. “But I really don’t know what it will be like.

“They all have individual goals, though. They have an idea and are already looking toward the future.”

As for the team itself, a mix of excitement and confidence seems

to have been a winning combination so far.

“I would cry if we won (at nationals),” Catone said.

“You mean, ‘When,’” said Valentine. “’When’ we win.”

Though the whole group harbored hopes of winning the state title and a trip to nationals, Valentine repeatedly vocalized her confidence that it would - not just could - be done.

“I was expecting to win because every time Deebach would say ‘If you make it to finals,’ or ‘If you make it to nationals,’ I was like, ‘Slow down. When. When we make it to finals. When we make it to nationals.’”

But, she said, “Actually winning was a dream come true.”

The fun part, they agreed, was standing on the stage in front of the crowd as the place-winners were announced.

“That’s a pretty cool thing,” Deebach said. “As they call off sixth place, fifth place, and you haven’t been announced yet.”

“When they had the final four step forward, that was cool,” Hughes said. “And when they announced the second place team, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’”

“I had butterflies,” Bayless said.

“My legs just kept getting shakier.”

As the realization of the state title sunk in there was a mixture of emotions as varied as the kids’ personalities themselves, though some disagreement later about who reacted how.

Catone: “I was like, ‘This is a dream come true,’ and I started crying.”

Silverthorn: “A week later I still couldn’t believe it.”

Pilkinton: “You were like freaking out. Janelle didn’t think we were going to make it to finals.”

Deebach: “I think there were a lot of you crying.”

Pilkinton: “I was the only one who didn’t cry.”

Deebach: “I don’t know, Rade, I

don’t know.”

Valentine: “He had to walk off the stage.”

Rade: “I didn’t cry.”

Hughes: “Rade was bawling his eyes out.”

Pilkinton: “No. No. Everyone over here was crying, calling their parents, and I was just standing there.”

Deebach: “Because your mom was there hugging you.”

Pilkinton: “No, I was hugging her because she was crying. I wasn’t. I went over and asked her to get it together.”

Hughes: “All I know is I woke up the next morning wondering if it had really happened.”

Hughes and Bayless both had older sisters well-versed in the ins and outs of the competition.

Sierra Hughes, a senior this year, proved a valuable resource.

“She helped me with motions, what was debatable and not debatable, that kind of thing,” Jordan Hughes sad.

“Hayley (Bayless, a member of the national runner-up parli pro team) didn’t help out too much because she was at college,” Bayless said. “But she texted that morning before started and said she expected us on stage. She came and watched and when we got off stage she came running and crying.”

A lot of work remains as the team looks forward to its trip to Kentucky in October, both with preparing for the competition and raising funds for the trip. A sixth member will be added to the team for nationals; Tonasket did have three teams that swept the top three spots in district competition.

“It’s up in the air right now how much we have to raise,” Deebach said. “Anyone who wants to help with donations, those will be accepted from any business or organization that wants to help the kids.”

OROVILLE - Members of Oroville’s Boy Scout Troop 26 participated in the 68th annual International Camporee at Camp Seacrest near Oliver, B.C. during the weekend of June 7-9.

This camporee alternates years between scouting camps in Southern British Columbia and the Boy Scout Camp at Bonaparte. The troop enjoyed ziplining, rock climbing, potato cannons and testing their scouting skills (knots, archery) against 100 other scouts. They were rewarded for their efforts by being awarded the Olbeaky Award, the highest award presented at the International Camp. If Walt

Hart, Troop 26’s Scoutmaster, remembers correctly, the last time Oroville won this award was when he was Scoutmaster here 35 years ago.

Another experience which hasn’t occurred in decades is a member of Troop 26 will be attending the Boy Scout National Scout Jamboree in West Virginia this summer. The last Oroville scout to attend a National Jamboree was Mark Kuntz who attended the 1960 Jamboree in Colorado Springs, CO.

Scouts from Central Washington’s Grand Columbia Council; an area that stretches between the Oregon and Canadian borders.

He is the only scout representing the area north of Wenatchee and has been selected as a patrol leader for the Jamboree Troop.

The National Jamboree was first held in 1937, with 27,232 scouts camped out on the National Mall. It has since been held thirteen times, approximately every four years, at different locations around the country. Nathan’s grandfather, Chuck Crickmore of Redmond, Ore., attended the second Jamboree in Valley Forge, Penn. after being chauffeured with other scouts to the Jamboree from Flint, Mich. in a convoy of 50 brand new Buicks.

GM used it as a marketing technique which was much appreciated by the scouts of Flint. This year, the Jamboree will take place at its new, permanent location; the 10,600 acre Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve in West Virginia. Forty Thousand boys are expected to attend.

Prior to the Jamboree, the Grand Columbia Council troop will spend four days sightseeing in Philadelphia, Gettysburg, and Washington D.C. In Washington they will tour the White House, Arlington National Cemetery, the Holocaust Museum and the Smithsonian.

At the Jamboree, they will work on numerous merit badges and participate in high adventure activities such as rock climbing, scuba diving, kayaking, mount biking, BMS riding, skateboarding, and ropes courses with 3,000

foot zip lines. A water lover, Nathan has signed up for whitewater rafting.

There are many people to thank for the success of Oroville’s Troop 26 including Walt and Vicki Hart who reactivated Cub Scout Pack 23 and Boy Scout Troop 26 in Oroville eight years ago and have generously shared their considerable experience, dedication and perseverance. Oroville’s American Legion Hodges Post #84 agreed to charter the troops and have consistently provided support and financial assistance.

Assorted parents have volunteered their time and expertise.

Members of the community have enthusiastically participated in various fundraisers. And, the scouts worked hard to achieve their goals and offered their on-going support. Scouting in Oroville would not exist without all these people and Nathan most certainly would not be representing his troop and the community at the 2013 National Scout Jamboree.

As members of Troop 26 Nathan, Nick Clase, Hunter DeVon, Colby Guzman, Gordon McCauley, Collin Rise and Tyler Steagle continue to develop themselves into the best citizen/ community members that they can be. Last summer, they attended the Washington Jamboree at Joint Base Lewis-McChord along with 4,000 other Washington Scouts.

This summer they won the Olbeaky Award at the International Camp. Who knows, perhaps Troop 26 will represent the city of Oroville at the 2015 World Jamboree in Osaka, Japan.

MOLSON MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL

Out On The Town

your guide to

Dining & Entertainment Clockwise from top: The Molson Midsummer Festival always includes the May Pole Dance, which a Scandanavian tradition believed to have started in the Middle Ages.

Hadley and Sheridan Blasey, ages nine and 11, won the three legged race. The yolk was on Greg Helm when his egg explodes in the egg toss event.

The five Grand Marshals this year were Elva Helm, Floyd and Pat Rise and Ken and Karen Cockle (for more of their story, see Hilltop Comments, page 6).

Decorating the May Pole with wildflowers collected around Molson.

The car show always attracts some real classics. The cars and trucks parade through town during the festival.

THE TOWN CRIER

Small businesses shape our communities

June 17th through 21st marks the 50th annual National Small Business week, a time when we recognize the contributions of America’s small businesses vital to the economic well-being of our country.

As a former small business owner, I understand the many challenges facing small businesses and I’m always impressed by the entrepreneurial spirit of Central Washington. From the family farm to the local manufacturer and retail stores, our local businesses are critical to job creation in our communities and the growth of our economy.

When I meet with small business owners in Central Washington, I often hear concerns that the federal government is spending too much, taxing too much, and has put too many costly Doc Hastings and unnecessary regulations in place that keep U.S. Representative small businesses from growing. These are concerns that must be addressed in order to grow our economy.

Whether it’s an RV manufacturer in Yakima who wants to expand but is worried about rising taxes or an aluminum factory outside of Wenatchee concerned about affordable power, I hear over and over again how federal policies can decrease productivity, slow commerce, and harm employees, employers, and businesses.

With the economy still struggling to recover from one of the worst recessions in our country’s history, now is not the time to impose new taxes and healthcare mandates on the entrepreneurs that create 80 percent of all the jobs in this country. In fact, federal regulations have increased by 52 percent since President Obama took office, making it harder for small business owners to grow their businesses and hire more employees. Instead, we should be working to create a positive environment for our small businesses to succeed in America by providing certainty and encouraging economic growth.

Congress must continue focusing on cutting bureaucratic red tape, eliminating costly regulations, lowering burdensome taxes, and advancing innovation and economic growth for America’s job creators.

Once the government takes a step back, American small businesses will have the opportunity to thrive.

Small businesses are truly the backbone of the American economy.

This means that our nation’s economy will only go as far as our small businesses will take it. I commend all of the hard-working small business owners in Central Washington, and across the country, who are making a positive impact in our communities. Giving them the tools they need to hire new employees and grow their business is important to strengthening our economy, and I will continue to support efforts to that end in the House of Representatives.

Attitude Dear Gary, I think a couple of thanks are due for Dorothy Petry and Randy Middleton. First, the “Old Coffee Drinker” whom I shall now refer to as “Old Sparky.” You’re so right about “good” and “bad” days. We alkl need to see the wisdom in the fact that the gift of life is reason enough to celebrate every day as “good” even though adversity and menal and/or physical pain can be and is thrown in the mix from time to time, sometimes relentlessly.

And, indeed attitude can be affected by altitude. I know I am much easier going when I’m “high.”

Life can be a rocky road, so search for pleasant paths, happy trails, humble highways.

Dorothy Petry gets an A+ for her efforts. Mystery solved. Here’s some more info on “Okanogan” Smith that might be enjoyed by some, if you believe it.

A friend of mine, Jim Creegan, told me about eight years ago that “Okanogan” had a gold mine somewhere near Enloe Dam (before it was built of course) that he searched for and could never find. I told him I know exactly where it is (was?) because I’ve been in it.

Forty-three years ago when I was 10, my 15-year-old brother and I found a very old mine hidden behind some shrubs. We went in about 50 feet (no light) and it had about a foot of water in it and the mosquitos chased us out. You could tell this mine had been abandoned for decades. It is by the fossil beds.

The reason I said it “was” there is because widening and re-grading the road above it has covered

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR the entrance with debris. It could be dug out, but it would be dangerous. I found a lump of dark rock below it and it was almost as heavy as lead and sparkled with gold.

Anyways, thanks again you two your insights are appreciated.

And my opinion (for what it’s worth) on the solar versus hydroelectric friendly fued of late. Both are clean and safe compared to nasty coal and potentially deadly nuclear power. Solar is years back from hydro power, but is catching up quickly. Dams can and do cause environmental problems and need their own expensive maintenance.

Enloe should be dismantled and shoved in our memories as a mistake. The natural falls that existed there were just that – natural – which always trumps manmade spectacles.

I remember reading about damming tidal flows in and out of bays and inlets for power.

Scientists said that it could slow down the rotation of the Earth after enough years with enough dams, so that idea was shelved.

Wow, they used some sense!

Thank you, Dan Dixon Oroville

Reflections Dear Gary, Sometimes I view something, hear something or just take a few moments to reflect. These reflections usually run rough shod over the past years of my life. Questions arise, such as “For what has my life accounted?” or, “What have I done to make my

Editor’s Note: Clayton says he has been unable to find the remaining issues for 1938, so there will be no 75 Years in his Items from the Past Column until next year. I’d like to add that the Mr. Bolske from a recent Items was Jim Bolskie (my fifth grade reading teacher) and it was my fault when I added the name Bob, which of course was his son.

Also, had another brain malfunction in the caption under Gold Digger’s new park -- obviously it can’t be a Centennial Park as it is only the company’s 75th Anniversary or Dodranscentennial. Gold Digger’s Dodranscentennial Park, try saying that fast five times. It really flows off the toungue doesnt it? Needless to say the Oroville Centennial Park is a few blocks north of the new park, not south.

COMPILED BY CLAYTON EMRY

Former Gazette-Tribune Publisher

75 YEARS AGO: June 10th: 1938: People of Oroville and vicinity who have been looking forward to seeing the film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” will have their opportunity this coming week when he world famous characters come to the Oroville Theater for a three day run starting next Thursday night, June 16. On June 17 and 18, there will be two shows each day and on Saturday, there will be three shows at five, seven and nine. Oroville Scouts, who had test ready to pass, were transported to Molson June 1 to a Court of Honor put on by the Molson Scouts. The scouts who passed their second class tests were, Harold and Stanton Thompson, Roy Silvernail and Jim Reed. Scouts making first class were, Jim Ray, Gerald Thompson and Elwood Petry of Oroville and Clayton Nelson, Molson. Those attaining Merit Badges were, Leslie Doerr and Jim Ray, swimming, Elwood Petry and Elbert Wills, bookbinding; Charles Manley, public health and Clayton Nelson and John Dart of Molson, reptile study. Maude Mathis, of Puyallup, arrived in Oroville recently to take over the building formerly occupied by the Oroville General Hospital.

She took charge the first of this month and has been changing it over for apartments.

Dr. S. A. Porter, who conducted the hospital for past several years, is retaining his office there for the present. Only two counties in the state, Columbia and San Juan, sold more tuberculosis seals per capita in 1937 than Okanogan County. A Sikorsky amphibian clipper plane is expected to arrive on Lake Osoyoos this morning, June 10, and tie up near Oroville shortly before noon, according to work received from Chelan Thursday.

The plane, which will spend the summer at Chelan, will be here for one day only and will make survey and demonstration flights over the valley during its stay. It will be open for inspection all day and everyone is invited to come out and look at it. Pilot Dess H. Goodwin will be at the controls. In an essay contest held by the Oroville Schools a few weeks ago, Elwood Petry, of the seventh grade, was awarded first prize. The essays were judged on a basis of the information they gave about Oroville. His essay covered the various industries and activities in Oroville as follows: Soft Fruit, Tomatoes and the Oroville Cannery, Recreation, Mining, Industries and Climate. Establishment of plant for the manufacture of apple concentrate in time to assure operation this fall seems certain according to information from the office of Union Fruit Producers, Inc., Cull Control Organization. Altho the Cull Organization will not attempt to build and operate these plants, it will have a connection with their establishment which will insure that members will be given preference furnishing the culls to

life, God’s gift to me, be productive?” or, “Gads, I’ve only a few years left to do something to help other people and so far, I’ve done very little if anything. What a waste!”

I could go one with such epithets, but, whats the use? You get the idea, nothing more need be said. And, no, I’m NOT feeling sorry for myself, quite the contrary. I take some solace in the story of David found in the middle chapters of 15t Samuel.

David had been through numerous challenges which included rejection by his brothers and persecution in a new country that led to slavery. Yet, God used this as preparation for the great leader David became. God used the past in preparation for the present and future. Your past, positive or negative, is preparation for your present and future. I’m beginning to realize that each of us is on this earth having been given a mission or missions. What is yours?

To be a good parent? A good spouse? Good neighbor? Good person? As a child of God, how do you answer? And what is ‘good’? What contributions are you making? Everyone does contribute, but is that contribution positive or negative? Do you contribute to improvement in society and to the lives of others? Will God be able to say of you as you draw your last breath, “Well done good and faithful servant?” Or, will He say of you, “Where were you (in speaking of others) when I was sick? Or, in prison? Or, hungry, ill clothed, or homeless?

Lonely, feeling abandoned or let down? Attacked, the victim of vicious gossip or being ignored?

Where were you?

Well, these are questions I often bounce off myself. And, then I ask myself, what have I really done with the life I’ve lived?

What could I have done? Now, I realize I’ve only a few short years to live. The past is done, but today is the first day of the rest of my life. I don’t need to beat myself over the head with what I’ve done or didn’t do. The REAL questions I need to ask of myself, as do you of yourself, is “What is my attitude going to be and what are the possible resulting consequences going to be with what I do or say?

Is it constructive? Adding to the life of those with whom I come in contact? Those are my ques-

ITEMS FROM THE PAST the new industry.

50 YEARS AGO: June 13th – 27th 1963: The Strawberry Mountain lookout, near Lost Lake, was felled by the Tonasket District crew this week. As a result of fire planning, this tower is no longer manned for fire detection. The tower was built in 1934 and was rapidly becoming a hazard to visitors in the area. A bear, yet to be seen, is active at the Lost Lake campground.

Remember, these bears are wild animals and not used to people, so be careful. M. Don Criscola, Assistant Superintendent of the Okanogan County Honor Camp at Loomis announced this week that the dedication of the camp’s new chapel will be held June 30 at 2 p.m. There will also be an open house. The ceremony will begin with a men’s chorus, consisting of the camp men, followed by the invocation by the Reverend Grout. The colorful story of Old Ruby, a rip roaring boomtown during the mining boom of the 1890’s, is featured in the first issue of “Okanogan County Heritage,” a magazine published quarterly by the Okanogan County Historical Society. The first “Heritage” was being mailed this week to all members of the society and to all public school libraries in the county.

Never cross again Dear Editor, My letter concerns the Canadian border.

My husband & I drove up to Osoyos to have dinner at our favorite restaurant.

We were delayed for 30 minutes at the border by overzealous young border people The border was slow--only four cars when we were crossing--with many questions asked by the young female checking cars and repeating her questions several times, she gave us a slip and told us to go inside.

My husband & I are 71- and 69-years-old, third generation Caucasian Americans that hardly fit the profile of criminals. Why we had to wait inside the building for almost 30 minutes is a puzzle. They never checked the trunk of our car--never checked my handbag so if they suspected wrongdoing by us why not do a thorough job.

We have travelled to over 130 countries and islands and all 50 states – never have we been treated so rudely.

My husband was the Loomis local manager for the Department of Natural Resources for nine years and I owned a women’s clothing shop in Tonasket for nine years. We frequently crossed the border the nine years we lived in Tonasket and never once had the delay we had on June 13.

This is impacting the Canadian businesses. Our friends in the Okanogan told us they don’t go to Canada anymore because of the hassle at the border.

It appears these young “hotshot” summer help needs to be trained more thoroughly in profiling people crossing the border.

I resent the attitude this young man had toward us--his rude, curt manner was despicable . I understand they have a job to do; however, why delay people for 30 minutes without doing a thorough check if they were so concerned about our innocence.

We will never, never cross this border again!

25 Years Ago: June 16th – 23rd, 1988: The Oroville City Council gave tentative approval to a program that would hire a circuit riding “aide” that would be shared with four other local communities. The program is contingent on the participation of Okanogan, Tonasket, Conconully and perhaps Brewster.

The Circuit Rider would aid each town one day a week in the areas they feel need the most attention, such as zoning, comprehensive studies and/or revenue generation such as grant writing. A Portland cement plant that could employ upward of 250 workers is locating near here but is finding out that Washington is not a state that makes it attractive to new business. The plant, which is the project of a company called “Ciment Quebec” would be similar to their Portand cement plant 30 miles northwest of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Japan will open its doors to Washington State apple growers, boosting the industry. Growers here, however, will have to work hard to compete in that market according to Manfred Helm and A. Desmond O’Rourke, WSU agricultural economists, who just released their findings on Japan’s apple market. O’Rourke predicted apple growers could export as many as 1.5 million boxes of apples each year if they could break into those niches.

Who let the cat out of the bag?

I’m here to tell the tale, or is it “tail?” Several weeks ago at Tonasket Farmers’ Market, Leaha brought a cage full of black kittens. While not quite fitting in with her Leaping Sheep Farms usual selection of fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers, the kittens provided fine amusement for all ages. Surprisingly, many of the kittens were adopted by the adult members of the market family. Val Welles took home one she named Buttons as a companion and/or nemesis to her older cats.

cows intermingled.

It is sad to see the Carlquist house, which is just this side of Molson, in such sad repair. The yellow and green house has been a landmark for a lot of years.

Our son-in-law calls it the “John Deere” house, due to the colors.

The Shaw family had their first ever family reunion last Saturday and it looked as if they had good response from descendants, as there were lots of cars and campers at Marty Shaw’s place, which is part of the Shaw homestead that was established in 1900.

Is there anything darker than a house when the power suddenly goes out? It’s good to keep a flashlight always in the same place, so you only stumble into a few items before reaching it.

Now comes the Bang! Bang! from the cherry alarms, to keep the birds away.

The early cherries are sorta ripe… and $4 a pound at the grocery, last week. I’ll wait a while. Not only will they be cheaper, but better flavored. I’m still not convinced those shots keep the birds away.

I think birds are smarter than that... but again, what do I know?

Midsummer Fest represented by five Grand Marshals Submitted by Marianne Knight Highlands Correspondent

More than 160 hungry people were served at the Midsummer Pancake Breakfast in Molson last Saturday. This years Grand Marshals for the Parade were Elva Helm, Floyd and Pat Rise, Ken and Karen Cockle. Elva grew up in Molson and at an early age was involved in 4-H under the leadership of Claire Rise. One of Elva’s masterpieces is displayed in the school museum. She donates the quilts for the raffle we have each year. Elva is proof that you can make something beautiful out of “bits and pieces”. Elva also plays the piano and shares that talent by playing for church and other events. Elva took lessons from Katherine Leslie. She feels fortunate for what she learned from Claire and Katharine. The book Western-Ho, a book about the Morris, Fletcher, Dimmit and Rise families was compiled and written by Elva.

A big part of other books about the local area have also been a part of Elva’s writings. Elva retired from the Postal Service in 1998 and has more time to participate in helping with the two museums. She enjoys helping with the various displays. Her ideas and talents add so much.

Certainly, Floyd and Pat Rise

We’ve added a class to the end of the quarter, so now there are two before we take a summer break. The Wild Plant Tour is scheduled for June 25. The Acrylic Painting class is offered on Thursday, June 27 and Friday, June 28 and there’s still time to sign up.

Good News! America’s place is now open, where Fat Boys used to be. It is so “clean and sparkly” and the food is great, and many were taking “leftover boxes” home, proving that the portions were ample.

Always with good things happening, we usually have some items to dampen our spirit. I’m sad to announce the death of Ernie Gerth, who passed away from complications of pneumonia. Ernie was not a “quitter.” After he had the misfortune of having a leg amputated, he still continued to come to the senior center for lunch and shortly after having that amputation he went on a cruise to Alaska, with a couple of friends, who were also his caregivers. He was to have had a birthday party at the center, but had to go into the hospital, and left word for his party to not be canceled, just postponed. We’re sorry Ernie, that we didn’t get to honor you, one more time.

Bud Brownlee took a tumble from a ladder and broke his arm. Shame on you Bud! You should have been playing golf instead of climbing on ladders.

HILLTOP COMMENTS had a life before we started seeing them spending a lot of time in Molson. Floyd worked for Petrolane Gas Company and Pat had the position of head cook for the Tonasket School District. She also served as the Site Director for the Oroville Senior Center. When you see his red pickup parked by the cemetery, the out-door museum, the grange hall, or the school house you know that Floyd is busy with another task that needs to be done. Floyd accumulates many hours on the mower each summer making sure that the museum areas, as well as the cemetery look well groomed for the visitors that come to the area. He has this sense, He notices things that are in need of repairs. Floyd is the person that is responsible for the identifying signs at the old museum and he also makes sure the signs for the summer fun day are up to date and ready. He is also willing to have buckets of flowers that can be used for decorating the May Pole. Pat often comes along with Floyd especially when there is cleaning to be done. Pat is a big part of this event. She helps with the breakfast. She will be selling tickets for the Door Prizes to be given away today. It is Pat who paints the picture to be given away to some lucky person.

So, what can you do to help your investments keep on working all year long, year in and year out? Here are a few suggestions: Don’t chase after “hot” investments. Many times, you will hear about a “hot” investment, usually a stock. However, by the time you hear about such an investment, it may already be cooling off. Even more importantly, it might not have been appropriate for your needs — and any investment that has either “flamed out” or wasn’t right for you in the first place

over 50 years ago, they say that Molson will always be home to them along with their kids and grandkids. In 1972 they built a cabin, which allowed them to spend more time here, as both their parents were in the area.

Twenty years ago Karen was appointed the treasure for the Molson Water Users. Ken and Karen work together on everything. In 2004 they started working on the little church just down the road. Karen was named chairman of that project. It was Kerens desire to have it look like it did when she was young. Ken and Karen started the project, however Floyd and Pat Rise joined in on the action.

Floyd just showed up one day with equipment and lunch, since they all worked together so well that went on to start repairing the windows in the school house.

We are very lucky to have these people in our area.

I want to thank my wife, Nancy, for the OLD AGE birthday party on June 8th. I’ll admit that if I knew I would live so long, I would have taken better care of myself.

Thank you all for taking the time out to attend Saturday. Special thanks to Marilyn, Mary Lou, Dennis and Dal. The music from the Wilder Band was fantastic.

Thanks to Vicky’s son Kevin who graciuosly helped with the pary. The cake made

by Harvest Foods showed a lot of ingenuity. Unfortunatley it was factual as I did not her the big buck. Most of all, thank you all for attending OLD AGE PARTY. Thanks, Gordon.

Okanogan Valley Life 24TH ANNUAL FATHER’S DAY FLY-IN The weather could not have been better for the 24th Annual Father’s Day Fly-In, June 15-16, as clear weather all weekend allowed for plenty of planes coming in and out of the Tonasket Airport. The Saturday night steak dinner fed an all-time high of 234 mouths, while another sizable crowd showed up Sunday morning for breakfast and free plane rides for kids under 15. Left, the view north to Oroville and into Canada was spectacular in the Sunday morning sun; below, Dave Kester pilots the Spirit of Tonasket with passenters Krystal Carrel and her sons Finn (in her lap) and Maverick.
