Father and son accused in killing appear in court Suspected of shooting grouse hunter, each held on $1 million bail BY ZACHARY VAN BRUNT SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

OKANOGAN – Two Chesaw men remain behind bars this week after at least one of them allegedly shot and killed a Hoquiam man who was hunting grouse near their property in September. John W. Jennings, 57, and his son Adam S. Jennings, 27, both made prelim-

Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said the case is still under investigation, John W. Jennings and that officials are waiting for more results from ballistics testing. There appears to be no motive as of last week,

he said. Okanogan County Prosecutor Karl Sloan said he moved forward with murder charges on both men, regardless of who allegedly pulled the trigger. “A person can be charged with the same crime based on accomplice liability,” he said. “And that’s Adam S.

The first crop has been harvested from the Tonasket School District’s school garden, and Christine Olson’s Elementary Outreach class of kindergarten through third graders were eager to show off the fruits of their labor on Friday, Nov. 21. Ambassador Abby and her classmates explained that a crop of Tom Thumb popcorn was planted with the help of older students last spring to enrich the soil for future crops of vegetables,. Once harvested, the hardened kernels were stripped from the cobs and then oil-popped for the class to enjoy. “We were the only class that was involved all the way from the beginning,” Olson said. “We wanted to be one of the first classes in our school garden to try something we grew. We hope we inspire some of the other classes to try some things next spring.” Brent Baker/staff photos

Oroville looks at $8.3 million budget New budget will complete several 2013 projects BY GARY A. DEVON MANAGING EDITOR

OROVILLE – The Oroville City Council is looking at a 2014 budget of $8,267,700, about $204,600 more than the amended 2013 budget, according to City Clerk Kathy Jones. Jones told the mayor and

OKANOGAN VALLEY GAZETTE-TRIBUNE Volume 109 No. 48

council at the preliminary budget hearing held during the Nov. 19 council meeting that most of the increase was due to carryovers. These include the Central/Cherry Street water main replacement and STP street improvement project; the payment of the new ambulance, which was delayed until 2014 and a carryover of the tank and installation portion of the North End Reservoir Project. “There are no proposed utility rate increases at this time,” Jones said, adding that the next budget workshop is scheduled for Nov. 26 at 6:30 p.m.

OLD BUSINESS

The council agreed to reduce a water penalty by 50 percent if the water bill was paid in full or a payment schedule was created. If a payment plan is submitted it would stop future penalties from accruing, which is allowed under the city ordinance if the council agrees, according to Jones. “I’d be comfortable with that... there were some very extenuating circumstances,” said Councilman Tony Koepke. The rest of the council agreed as long as the discussed conditions were met. Rod Noel, Superintendent of Public Works, reported on the progress of construction of the new water reservoir that will

serve the North End Water System and the new U.S. Border Patrol Station near the border. “We are still waiting on the tank, it is supposed to arrive on Dec. 9 and they will start putting it together that day depending on the weather,” said Noel. He added that it has to be warm enough to use a certain type of glue involve in the construction. “Once the ground gets frozen really hard it is a nightmare,” he said Chris Branch, director of Community Development, reported on the proposed Mosquito District and gave an

update on the Similkameen Trailhead. “We had an open house on the Mosquito District to discuss boundaries in the Oroville area and nobody came. We also didn’t have a quorum of planning commissioners,” said Branch. “It’s the wrong time of year,” suggested Councilman Ed Naillon. “If the bite was on they would be here in full force,” replied Branch, who suggested more discussion on the actual boundaries of the Oroville and surrounding areas part of the district.

Secret Service investigating fraud THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

SPOKANE - According to a an announcement posted by URM Stores, Inc., of Spokane late Monday afternoon, law enforcement officials are investigating a criminal cyber attack against the grocery store chain’s payment processing system that has resulted in numerous reports of credit and debit card fraud throughout the region. KREM television in Spokane

also reported Monday that Secret Service agents have joined the investigation into fraudulent purchases made at URM stores throughout Eastern Washington. Store banners include Family Foods, Harvest Foods, Center Place Market, Trading Co. Stores, Rosauers Supermarkets, Super 1 Foods, and Yokes Fresh Market. According to the release, which can be read in its entirety at www. urmstores.com, many grocery stores may not be accepting debit

or credit transactions until the investigation is completed and security upgrades are enacted. The attack is targeting the data found in the magnetic strips on the back of credit/debit cards. Investigators encourage the use of check or cash at URM stores, as well as close monitoring of transactions on debit and credit accounts. URM has set up a dedicated call center regarding the issue at 877-237-7408.

HAIRCUTS AND MORE

KILLING | FROM A1 yards from the Jennings residence around 8 p.m. on Labor Day. His hunting partner, George Stover, also Hoquiam, said Carrigan took two shots at a grouse – firing away from the Jennings house – and missed. Then “somebody at a house across the road started shooting at him,” he told investigators at the time. The cause of Carrigan’s death was later ruled as a gunshot wound to the back. According to a statement from sheriff ’s Detective Rob Heyen, Stover did not see who shot Carrigan. “He described the shot as a .22-caliber from his years of hunting experience,” the statement says. “He was certain the two shots came from (the Jennings home).” After securing a search warrant, authorities uncovered a substantial number of firearms on the property – 18 in total – including seven loaded weapons in Adam Jennings’ bedroom. Of the firearms seized, none were registered to the younger Jennings. The weapons that were registered returned in John Jennings’ name. Ammunition was also seized, including numerous boxes of Stinger.22 long rifle bullets that are similar in color and structure as the one found in Carrigan’s body. The bullets Stover was hunting with were a different color. Officials have since ruled him out

as the shooter. During the search, detectives discovered a window in the Jennings home where Carrigan would have been clearly visible. Court documents show that the window’s aluminum frame had scrape marks on it that authorities said appeared to be from a rifle barrel moving across it. A wall-mounted gun rack was found covered in dust except for the top rung. There authorities found sections clean from dust, indicating an object had been recently removed. A gun safe was found, which included a .22-caliber rifle with a mount scope that had “light, metallic colored scrape marks,” documents read. “These marks were consistent with the rifle being pointed out the aluminumframed window and bumping the frame and sliding on the round bar at the bottom.” That gun had dust on it, which detectives say indicate it had not previously been held in the safe. Officials interviewed both Jennings men separately. Both denied shooting Carrigan, or even firing a weapon. Both men said they heard two shots from the road, that they took cover laying on the floor of their home, and that they heard two additional shots and a vehicle driving away. Both father and son have a criminal history involving fire-

arms. In 2003, a then-17-year-old Adam Jennings pleaded guilty in Okanogan County Juvenile Court to second-degree assault. He was sentenced to 15-36 weeks in a state juvenile detention facility. According to court documents, he opened fire on a neighboring family, firing off 20-30 shots after they were shooting at a pack of dogs that had killed one of their cows. The neighbors believed the dogs belonged to the Jennings family. Documents also show that Adam Jennings was initially charged with four counts of second-degree assault. The court later dismissed three of those charges. As part of his sentence, the man lost his right to possess firearms until restored by the courts. According to probable cause documents filed last week, no such rights have been restored, hence the additional charge of illegal possession of firearms. Five years prior, in 2008, John Jennings pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful display of a firearm, a charge brought down from second-degree assault. He received a 364-day suspended sentence after threatening two people with a firearm in an apparent property dispute. According to court documents, John Jennings admitted to firing a shot after initially denying it.

ingness to go along with helping us where his department can,” said Branch, referring to county planning department head Perry Huston. “Some of the dollars were donated by Kinross and some are Title III federal funds. The commissioners can’t touch those and they can’t be used for much else,” he said. There is also the question of whether the city would be willing to maintain the trailhead on Kernan Road, work on the rest rooms and finish the parking lot. “Some of these things have to be addressed to get further along,” said Branch. Supt. Noel also reported that additional time is required for

Dan Haller, Aspect Consulting, to keep working on finalizing the water rights transfer that the city has been working on for several years. A Contract Amendment, increasing the fee by $2000 and extending the contract term through Dec. 31, 2013 was reviewed. The council agreed that much time, effort and money has been spent on getting this transfer processed through the Department of Ecology that the city can’t afford to quit before it is finalized. The next meeting of the Oroville City Council is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. in the Oroville City Council Chambers located at 1308 Ironwood St.

BUDGET | FROM A1 Branch asked and got approval for a resolution allowing those areas within the city limits to be included in the formation of the district. “We’re still working on rounding up and coordinating all the parties involved in the trailhead, like Okanogan County Public Works, DOT, the county planning department,” said Branch. “Right now the city is not in a position to take over the that federal grant. Our bid laws are much more restrictive than the county’s.” Branch suggested that the county might bust parts of the proposed improvements out to be completed as they can. “Perry has expressed his will-

Otte returns home as new NVH occupational therapist BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - Aloe Otte didn’t set out to be an occupational therapist. In fact, for a time she was working in Seattle, applying her Recreational Management degree to managing an indoor Go-Kart racing facility. “I had a really good time with that,” she said recently. “ I just felt like I wanted to contribute a little bit more. I just really enjoy helping people and serving others. I wanted more; I just didn’t know what.” That desire for more led Otte on a path that eventually returned her to her hometown, where she has been working as North Valley Hospital’s newest occupational therapist since June. The 1997 Tonasket High School graduate didn’t envision returning home when she left -- first for some European travel, then for Eastern Washington University after returning home and working at the school through Americorps. “There were things I took for granted when I was younger, like the outdoors,” Otte said. “I just love being back in the area and being able to do that stuff and spend time with the family. I never thought I would end up back here. But it was definitely meant to be .” When she realized she wouldn’t be satisfied with a life of managing Go-Karts, Otte had never heard of occupational therapy. But in researching graduate programs, the description she found of what they had to offer fit what she was looking for without her really even knowing it beforehand. “A big influence was my grandmother going through

Aloe Otte Alzheimer’s,” she said. “My mom was her caregiver for a little bit. I saw that process and the effect it had on everyone around her. “I just felt like there was something more that could have made her quality of life better. And that’s the big thing with occupational therapy: our slogan is, ‘Living life to the fullest.’” Otte finds the slogan more than appropriate. Her job involves helping people to be able to find ways to function in their desired environment, whether it be recovering from a suddenly acquired disability or learning to cope with something they’ve dealt with for a long time. “That can mean adapting the environment, or introducing adaptive equipment to increase their independence,” she said. “Or it could be working with the person with things like strengthening. I do a lot with self-care activities, getting the person back to where they need to be as far as dressing, bathing, and living safely to their desired environment. To be as independent and

functional as possible. “I’ve also done work station evaluations, ergonomics, and that kind of thing. Occupational therapists can work in a school setting. Or it can be acute care, skilled nursing, outpatient, or women’s health. It can be very general or very specific.” Otte said that variety, as well as the “client centered” nature of the work, makes it easy to envision staying with it for the long haul. “One lady I talked to had been an occupational therapist for 17 years,” she said. “The reason she did it for so long was because there were so many different areas. She could switch areas when she felt like she was getting close to burning out. “It really is about what the patient wants and needs. If I feel like they can do this and this, but all they want to do is go from their recliner to the commode, that’s what we’ll focus on. I may try to add a little encouragement to try some different things, and make life as meaningful as it can be.” As for coming home to join the NVH staff, it was all about family and bringing up her six-yearold daughter in the kind of rural environment she preferred. “Going through my internship I felt like if I was going to put so much time into this career, I didn’t want my daughter at childcare all day long,” Otte said. “I have support and my family here, so I contacted the hospital, toured the facility and met people, had an interview ... Everything just kind of fell into place and I ended up moving here. “It’s been great seeing people I haven’t seen in awhile,” she added. “I’m really excited to be back in Tonasket and to be able to give something back to the community that I grew up in.”

THE TOWN CRIER

Thanksgiving is a good time to stop and reflect

While it should be easy to write my column at Thanksgiving time, what’s hard is to try and make it sound different from last year’s column, or all those from Thanksgivings past. I’m still thankful for my family and friends. Like many of us, they make it worth getting up in the morning. Unfortunately, we don’t always see as much of them as we’d like, but when we do, it makes it extra special. This year I won’t be seeing my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter, health issues make traveling just too hard for them at this point. Son-in-law Alex got his liver transplant, so for that I am especially grateful. There just isn’t time this year to drive to the coast and that means I won’t see my middle brother, sister-and-law and Out of nephew either. My youngest brother is still on My Mind Guernsey in the English Channel, so seeing Gary A. DeVon him, my other sister-in-law, nephew and niece is definitely out. I will get together with family though - my mom and a few of the cousins - so I won’t have to do the old cook a turkey breast and frozen pumpkin pie, like I tried to do with a couple of roommates one year when we were working in Spokane and couldn’t get time off to travel home when only having the one day off. Actually it was a turkey breast and three pumpkin pies. As is often the case we didn’t get cooking soon enough or some such; we each just ate a pie. Good times. Of course that might have had something to do with our recent invention of Scotch-Schnapps, or was it Schnapps-Scotch? Nonetheless, we were spending our Thanksgiving in good company and that’s important. That’s why I’m glad Eva’s Diner decided to continue on the tradition of offering a Thanksgiving meal to anyone who wants to stop and share in the holiday. I’m also happy to see that the Chesaw Community Church is offering a free Thanksgiving dinner again this year. Of course I’m thankful for my job – hard to believe 26 years in the same place. When I was stuck in Spokane that year, my roommates and I just had the day off, but I’ve had jobs where we worked part of the holiday. I can’t imagine what its like to be expected to work all day on the holiday just because certain stores want to push Christmas Shopping up a day. It’s bad enough some of the television commercials for Christmas are starting before Halloween. I tell myself I won’t shop at places that advertise so early or make their people work all day Thanksgiving (at regular pay) in pursuit of the almighty dollar. Of course that’s often hard to do as you start eliminating the places that you can deal with – soon you may run out of options. Better yet, just shop at home. This Saturday, Nov. 29, has been designated small business Saturday. It’s a good time to give your business to those that help to keep our local economies strong, and thus generate paychecks for our friends and neighbors. And, if they’re not open on Saturdays, come back when they are. So this Thanksgiving, like most Thanksgivings, I’m thankful for my family and friends, my old dog Sophie, a roof over my head and a job that keeps me busy and fulfilled. I hope everyone has similar things and more to be thankful for. Today and every day is a good day to stop and count our blessings. Happy Thanksgiving.

THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF OROVILLE & TONASKET

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Real concern is over cost of Enloe Dam project Dear Editor, Responding to your article about the poll conducted by the Chronicle, we did not have any role in the Chronicle’s decision to run that poll. We were informed by email from a friend that the poll was in the paper. We then contacted people to tell them about the poll and that they could vote on Enloe. The real issue of concern is the estimated $40 million of debt the PUD will have to take on to power up Enloe Dam. Okanogan County ratepayers will be responsible for this debt for decades, for a project with very marginal returns. At the PUD’s Enloe Dam Budget Meeting, Tuesday evening Nov 5, we brought up the fact that authorizing legislation for the Oroville-Tonasket Irrigation Project (US Congress, 1976), the cost to provide fish passage over Enloe Dam, or remove the dam, was a cost that is a regional responsibility, because it is mitigation for Grand Coulee Dam. I believe that when the PUD is done with their investigation of alternatives to building the Enloe power house, they will find that the funds to remove Enloe Dam will come from whoever needs the habitat above Enloe.

THE MOLSON LEADER

90 YEARS AGO: November 21 - 28, 1923: Happenings in the near future at the Molson P.T.A. include a monstrous basket social with a dance in conjunction in which the musical rhythm will be received and transmitted through the courtesy of Mr. Abbott with his master radio outfit. Fred Walker, of Spokane, who was recently arrested near Havillah by Customs Officer Floyd Loomis of Molson and Deputy Sheriff M. McCoy and Glen Warren, when he was found driving an Oakland car loaded with 24 cases of Canadian liquor, was fined $500 and costs when taken before Judge C. H. Neal. Upon complaint of Nick Conklin, D. H. Greer was tried before Justice G. W McKee Tuesday on a charge of cruelty to one of horses and was fined $10 and costs. Mr. Greer has given notice of appeal. A party of alleged booze runners in eight cars was held up near Riverside by Sheriff E. J. Wilson and Deputy B. T. McCauley and eight men and five cars captured Tuesday morning. One man was shot and killed in the mix-up by Sheriff Wilson. It is known that five cars have been hiding near Molson for several days, waiting an opportunity to get down the river. They made the attempt but turned back when ambushed by offices. Bring your fat dressed turkeys to Oscar Mattson’s store at Oroville on Nov. 22. We are paying highest market price for birds this year. Our cash buyer will give you his courteous attention, fair grading and honest weight. Mr. autoist, have you tried the latest thing out for auto radiators for anti-freeze solution made from honey? Honey raises the boiling point of water to 215 degrees F. and lowers the freezing point. It is not injurious to metal or rubber and is a rust preventative. Fifteen pounds is sufficient for a Ford radiator. H. C. Pollock, chief electrician of the Norris Safe & Lock Co., Seattle, has been in Molson the past few days installing all the latest improvements to the burglar alarm system in the Molson State Bank. The Underwriters Association insists that banks keep their alarm systems up-todate in every particular.

THE OROVILLE GAZETTE

50 YEARS AGO: November 21 - 28, 1963: Oroville received its first snow flurries of the sea-

When we discussed dam removal at the budget meeting, Commissioner Bolz asked what would happen if the dam were removed and fish swam into Canada, where they are not wanted. We had to think for a minute about that question, but, obviously, if the Similkameen becomes an open and free river, fish might swim up it. It’s really in God’s hands what fish do in the river if and when the dam comes down. It’s God’s river. No one really knows if the athletic steelhead can jump Similkameen Falls, but a lot of fishing folks think they can and would. The Upper Columbia River Steelhead are on the endangered list, and there is 40 miles of U.S. habitat above Enloe, that the fish might use. If they did, it would form the basis of a greatly expanded fishing recreation economy for north Okanogan County. A wonderful compensation for losing the dam, and I agree with you Gary that Enloe Dam is a powerful place to visit and it will be missed. But, its a manmade structure, and what goes up must eventually come down.. Finally, Gary, I’d like to say that we have not “demanded” that Enloe be breached. We’ve suggested it, as an alternative to $40 million of debt. The Okanogan ratepayer simply cannot be held responsible for paying for an expensive, unneeded power plant, just to keep fish from swimming up the river. Jere’ Gillespie Chesaw

ITEMS FROM THE PAST son Tuesday, Nov. 19, when it snowed and rained the biggest part of the day. Wednesday morning dawned bright and clear and cold with the snow covering each side of the valley. Temperatures were reported to have been around 17 above early Wednesday morning. This is not un-seasonable but it is uncomfortable. A concentrated air and ground search was launched Wednesday morning, in an effort to locate the missing Air National Guard Pilot, Lt. Robert J. Boucher, of S2702 Assembly Road in Spokane. Boucher was believed to have parachuted from his jet airplane when it developed trouble last Thursday and crashed into Windy Peak Mountain. The wreckage has been found and Boucher’s navigator, Rolin J. Descham, also of Spokane, was rescued last Friday, a few feet from the plane. Oroville Apple Judging Team placed second in state competition at Chelan recently. Members of the team showed off their banner and were Jim Cockle, George Gage, Richard Morris and Jack Greene and their instructor, Ken Kirkwood. On Friday, Nov. 15, a new business was started in Loomis. Ernie Hanson will operate a barber shop from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays in a shop adjacent to his home. Thanksgiving bargains at the local stores: six 303 size cans Yams, $1.00; Snowdrift shortening, 3 lb. tin $.49; large grade “A” eggs, $.55 per doz.; Hen Turkeys, 10 to 16 lbs. $.43; 2 16 oz. tins Cranberry Sauce, $.39; Baking potatoes, $.06 lb; U & I Sugar, 10 lbs. $95. NOTHING HAS SO SHOCKED THE COMMUNITY OF OROVILLE as the sudden announcement that the United States President, John F. Kennedy has bee felled by an assassin’s bullet in Dallas, Texas last Friday. All activities were cancelled for the rest of Friday and the three days following. It wasn’t until Tuesday that the activities resumed to resemble those more accustomed days. Tonasket Ranger, Les Wahrgren, announced this week that a charge of $1.00 per tree will be made this year for Christmas trees cut on the Tonasket District for personal use.

Fuss will become a historical footnote Dear Editor, “Obamacare is an Obamanation.” “Obamacare is a nightmare.” “Obamacare is a train wreck.” After these letter headlines it only gets worse with lies and innuendo and partisan outrage. Why does media publish this prejudiced opinion from Obama-haters and Tea Party Republicans? Yes, the Obama administration deserves to be on the hot seat, but Republican and Tea Party politicians are incredible hypocrites for whining about Obamacares’ failed introduction, since they did everything possible to sabotage it. Most Republican governors have refused to set up state exchanges, forcing millions out in the cold in regards to healthcare. Republicans in Congress, in a concerted effort, blocked funding for website contractors and refused to let Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius move money around to make up for Republican obstructions. But there is good news; all this fuss about broken websites will become a historical footnote in no time as Obamacare is up and running smoothly. Ron Lowe Nevada City, California

THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

25 Years Ago: November 17 -24, 1988: Fire broke out at a large barn just south of Oroville and although units of the Oroville Fire Department were quick to respond, the barn was lost along with the hay inside. Fortunately the livestock inside were set free and a nearby residence and another barn were saved. The Tonasket City Council is following Oroville’s lead and asking the Okanogan County Treasurer to credit their property tax collected by the county with the interest that their share of the funds accrues before they are disbursed. Walter Womack, County Treasurer, has said that he will start crediting those taxing entities with interest funds as soon as he gets a letter from the entity asking for it. Members of the American Legion and the public were at hand to watch the raising of new American and Washington State flags at the Oroville Welcome Gates last Friday. The new flags were raised in celebration of Washington State’s birthday and Veteran’s Day. The new flags were acquired by the Oroville Chamber of Commerce for the celebration. Christmas tree permits for home use only are now being sold, said Bill McLaughlin. They cost $2.00 and are required to be able to cut on National Forest Lands. Sitzmark Ski Hill waits patiently for opening day when the quiet will be broken by area skiers enjoying runs down the slopes. Official opening is planned tentatively for the day after Christmas. There is hope for weekend skiing prior to Christmas if the weather cooperates and snow pack builds. A fairly common sight in Oroville is the Curtis famil’s Morgan horses and carts warming up for the show seasons. This year, it paid of for D-D Maxamillion and Chopka Tea Rose. At the 1988 Washington State Horsemen’s Convention in the Tricities, D-D Maxamillion was awarded High Point Pleasure Driving-Limit for the state. Real Estate: Plenty of room in this warm, friendly home with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, enormous family room, deck overlooking the lake with 240 ft. choice frontage and even has its own boathouse. 1.3 acres and all for $115,000; Tonasket 2 bedroom home on large lot, close to schools, ready to move into. $23,800 with contract terms.

Happy Thanksgiving How nice that Eva’s Diner is continuing the tradition of free Thanksgiving dinner so those that were alone or couldn’t afford to have some of the special items that we take for granted will be on our table for the day. Linda Darrow (and others) provided many dinners over the years and they are to be commended for getting the tradition started and thanks to the gracious folks that make cash donations to help the tradition going. Holiday dinners were usually at our house and when our parents were alive, we had about 30 present. It was no problem

because everyone helped by doing special dishes and it was great fun. Don’t think I could do that these days. The Oroville Senior Bazaar is Dec. 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We will be having lunch, which will be a nice hot bowl of stew and accompaniments, with dessert. Walt Hart has graciously agreed to prepare this meal. So, get out of the cold and come see if you can find a few Christmas gifts and enjoy lunch and visit with a few friends and make a ho-hum Saturday a little more fun. And of course there will be other vendors offering handmade items.

And of course we need items for the baked good table. Have you gone to Edna’s barbershop lately, expecting to see Corine Curtis? She wasn’t there, was she? Her new venture has moved to the location that formerly housed Mary Lou’s gifts, on Central, by the Back to Basic’s eatery, and of course Mary Lou is in the old Engstrom building. Sorry to report that Juanita Waggy has returned to the hospital, in Tonasket. Juanita just can’t seem to get strong enough to be out and about.

It seems he died, over a year ago, leaving few or no relatives. It was identified as belonging to a Canadian. If you want to hear a story told, as only Betty Roberts can tell one, ask her about the recent, uninvited caller she had. I could never do justice to the incident. The size of green table grapes is almost unbelievable…and so is the price, but they are so tasty, and better for a body than candy. Yum! The vendors that come to the Oroville Senior Center bazaar won’t have much choice (if any) by the time of this reading. Dec. 7 is the date and the price is very reasonable.

Annual Christmas Party is Tuesday, Dec. 3

all are welcome to attend Please bring a gift and a snack. Our Aerie meetings are the first and third Tuesdays of the month and the Auxiliary meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays. Happy hour is 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. every day and Seahawks games are always Happy Hour. We have free pool every Sunday. Monday is Taco Night, during Pool League we have burgers on Wednesdays, Thursdays we play Bingo and eat Burgers and More. Friday is Steak Night, Karaoke and Meat Draw. Watch this column for Saturday special events. Come join your brothers and sisters at your Eagles and bring your friends. Find out what’s happening at your club and join in. As always, We Are People Helping People.

Wow! It’s been a quick three months and this will be our last Learning Tree until January. Fall quarter is coming to an end and we are busy building our winter catalog of classes. Just two classes remain this quarter and you are invited to sign up for Make A Pinata on Dec. 2 and Dec. 9 or Draw a Face on Dec. 5.

POOL LEAGUE

By Gai Wisdom North Valley Pool League Brent Baker/staff photo

The Tonasket High School boys and girls basketball programs are investing in their future with a series of Junior Tiger Basketball Camps for kindergarten through eighth grade students. Organized by varsity basketball coaches Agustin Pedregon and Stephanie Schertenleib, the Saturday, Nov. 23, camp drew nearly 120 kid. Jared Schand, a volunteer skills coach for the Wenatchee Valley College men’s basketball team, provided instruction, with THS coaches and high school players assisting with coaching duties. Pedregon said he had originally anticipated about 35 “campers” to participate. Above, participants in the late morning session get a little practice with teamwork in.

Week three brings us no big surprises. The weather is holding nicely and the players seem to be having a good time. Your

top three teams are The Brew Crew out of the Shop, Nice Rack, shooting for the Pastime and Oroville Eagles’ Aiming Fluid. Like I said no big surprise there.

We will all of those that may be ill a speedy recovery to good health. God bless all. The Biggest Little Eagles in the State. It’s the next three teams that will be most interesting to watch.

That means Jan is getting all the score sheets by Friday. Go teams! Go Jan! Have a Happy Turkey Day, and Play Pool.

They would have had their 49th anniversary this Wednesday. Helen’s two children credit her with their love of cooking, their desire to help the community, their take-charge attitude, and their love of humor. Helen moved to Oroville with Pat about six years ago after living in Roy, Wash. for more than 30 years.

Helen was known around town for her baked goods, her excellent cooking and canning, and her love of friendly banter. We love her dearly and she will be deeply missed. A private service Has Already Been Held In Helen’s Honor. Bergh Funeral Service of Oroville/Tonasket in care of arrangements.

he would always bring flowers to the cook, his niece Lea, in appreciation of the great dinner. Bob loved his cars, trucks and was especially interested in small engines. He graduated from Foley-Belsaw Institute in 1999 with a diploma in small engine service and repair. This became his hobby and he gladly fixed all the neighbors’ lawn mowers. Bob soon had a new chapter in his life in 2002- Oroville, Washington. His many friends in Oroville became a family to him. Bob continued tinkering with small engines and during the winter he would attach a snow blade to his riding lawn mower. He went all over the neighborhood plowing driveways showing his kindness to many. What a nice surprise after a long day’s work to come home to a cleared off driveway. Hmmmm... Bob must have been here. Bob was always helping neighbors and friends. He was the kind of man that would /(give you the shirt off his back.” Bob became close friends with his neighbor Mae Hill and her nephew Earl Hill. What a great friendship they shared! Many years later, Bob took care of Mae so she could be at home during her illness. After a year or so of care giving, Mae passed away. Bob remained close friends with Earl and continued on with life, always making jokes and putting a smile on our faces. He will be missed by many! Bob was preceded in death by his parents Charles and Bessie Grover, his brother Charles Grover and wife Adeline Grover. He is survived by his nieces Lea Walker and Maureen Halverson; nephews Doug Walker and Jack Walker all of California; his brother Leslie Grover and niece Crystal Roberts of Washington.

Students listen to business professionals who present on topics of motivation, goal setting, entrepreneurship and the importance of professionalism and education. “Leadership is a passion of mine,” Kindred said. “My goal for this conference was to provide amazing speakers that have done amazing things. It is so important for our future to learn from those individuals who have worked so hard to be successful and who care about the success of others. It is with sincere thanks to Braden Dragoo who also has local roots (Omak) that I was

able to work with so many important businessmen. “Future Business Leaders of America is a great association that provides leadership opportunities at both the high school and collegiate levels (Phi Beta Lambda).
