CLOSE CALL FOR TONASKET AREA; SOUTH COUNTY HIT HARD BY FIRE

Emerging from warrants

NVH takes big step in return return to financial health BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - When North Valley Hospital District officially emerged out of debt from Okanogan County for a day to kick off July, it was a landmark moment, but also only the beginning of the next stage of the hospital’s return to financial health. “We’ll probably go in and out of warrants a little for the next year,” said NVH Administrator Linda Michel. “That’s just the nature of the beast while you’re trying to get some cash in the bank.” Indeed, the hospital has been in and out of warrants several times since. “Last week we were able to pay over $65,000 of bills with our own money,” Michel said. “(At the start Monday, July 21) we were $53,000 in the hole.” By Tuesday morning, payments had come in that brought NVH $262 into the black. Warrants are intended to be short-term loans from the county, but which have been a long-term lifeline for all three of Okanogan County’s hospitals. The hospital’s debt to Okanogan County was at $2.955 million in late August, 2012, and was still at about $2 million last July. “At this point we’re determined to stay out,” Michel said. “You have to build up that cash in the bank, so it doesn’t happen all at once. We’re looking at every process we have - not to work harder, but smarter, trying to do some lean implementation.” Michel said she wouldn’t be against using warrants for their originally intended purpose - as a short term loan, as opposed to a line of credit. “We need to pay for our daily operations by ourselves,” she said. “Warrants should be used for big things where you have a plan to pay them down, not day to day operations.” Parts of the facility are aging and are in need of upgrades before they reach crisis stage. In the past year the call system in the nursing home failed, and one of the boilers had to be replaced after more than 50 years of service. “I won’t say we’ll never borrow,” Michel said. “Our facility is old. We have to go forward with the rest of the boilers, and the windows on the nursing home. We have a lot of stuff facing us.”

After watching a week of frightening images and stories of a destructive firestorm emerge from Pateros, Malott and the Methow Valley, Tonasket-area residents received a scare of their own Monday when a fire erupted on Bugg Road in the North Siwash Creek area, 10 miles east of town. Significant air support included a DC-10 Air Tanker out of British Columbia (above, dropping fire retardant), several smaller planes and a host of helicopters that had the 1,000-plus acre blaze mostly under control by sunset on Monday. Right, Pateros wasn’t so lucky after fire wiped out a significant section of its residential area on Thursday, as the Carlton Complex fire exploded to more than 240,000 acres by week’s end. That is now the largest fire in recorded state history, surpassing the Tripod Complex fire that burned in Okanogan County nearly a decade ago. The nation’s top priority wildfire, it was still being fought across the county on Tuesday morning. Stories of that fire’s local impact are on pages A2-3.

Oroville approves dock extension Council updated on Tumbleweed Film Festival BY GARY A. DE VON MANAGING EDITOR

OROVILLE – The Oroville City Council approved a request from Sandalia Beach Resort to extend their dock at the council’s Tuesday, July 15 meeting following the conclusion of a public hearing on the matter. The request was for a 224’ dock with 24 slips, each with a groundbased boat lift, as well as an extension of the shoreline permit. The public hearing was a continuance from the previous council meeting two weeks prior. The proponents from the resort added no additional information at the hearing. A rebuttal statement from Christian Johnson, Oroville’s Permit Administrator, was read by Chris Branch, director of Community Development. The rebuttal mostly addressed concerns raised by members of the Lake Osoyoos Association at the part of the public hearing held two weeks earlier. One Johnson comments disputed the LOA’s contention that the expanded dock would restrict the flow of navigable water. He

Other than some problems with the electrical circuit breakers, the only issue she finds is that the stand is “complaint central” and many people bring their gripes, real and imagined, about park issues to her and those that work at the stand. “I can not say enough good about Rod (Noel) and his crew,” Snyder said, referring to the parks department head and those that work for the city at the lakeside park and campground. Snyder said in addition to the campers, families and kids, the park gets many agriculture workers in the afternoons. She also said they’ve gone through 60 gallons of ice cream since opening. “One thing we’ve done is start a program where parents give us $10 and then the kids are allowed to bring a code word to make purchases, rather than carrying money themselves,” she said, adding that when the money is depleted the parents can replenish the account. The concession stand is rented on a percentage basis and the previous month $506 was paid to the city, according to city clerk Kathy Jones. The business’ hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday through Monday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday.

OKANOGAN VALLEY GAZETTE-TRIBUNE | JULY 24, 2014

OKANOGAN COUNTY FIRESTORM There is almost no way to wrap your mind around the immensity of what has happened in Okanogan County this past week. The Carlton Complex fire, which started as four separate fires but exploded Thursday to merge into one, is now considered the state’s largest wildfire since such things have been recorded, exceeding 243,000 acres (one measurement had it at nearly 300,000, but an improved infrared mapping assessment did drop the estimate back slightly). Though county communities are separated by geography, the connections between friends, relatives, schools, - and of course dozens of local men and women on the fire lines - run deep. What we’ve tried to do here is provide some snapshots, stories of what some of our local connections experienced over the last week. With somewhere around 500 people displaced (more than 100 homes destroyed) and the fire still being fought on multiple fronts from Malott to Pateros to Winthrop, we could probably fill more than a year’s worth of newspapers with people’s stories. For every one of these stories, there are dozens more just like them.

One long night Methow Valley native Orford spent night awaiting word of husband, relatives’ fate BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - For some, reacting to the firestorm throughout Okanogan County has meant adrenaline-fueled efforts to rescue relatives, friends, animals and belongings. For others, it’s meant seemingly endless hours waiting out spotty or non-existent communications for word of the fate of loved ones in harm’s way. Thursday evening, with the Methow Valley and Pateros on fire, Terri Orford waited to hear word from her husband Andy, who headed to the valley to fight the fire, as well as his uncle and aunt who were trapped in their home. “I was just pacing,” Terri Orford said. “I didn’t shut Facebook down for 10 hours. I didn’t know what to do. I sat on my porch. It was just me; the kids were sleeping. “I have never experienced being that distraught. That feeling of helplessness and not knowing. It was appalling but I have no idea how to truly describe it.” Terri grew up in the Methow Valley and Andy worked there for C2cWildfire. “That’s my hometown,” Terri said. “That’s where we met and fell in love.” Andy had quit firefighting at Terri’s urging, but when this one arose, she was quick to encourage him to go to the fire when his former boss, Mike Myers, called. “He’d never heard that sound of fear in Mike’s voice before,” she said. “In a moment where you can feel so helpless, he knew he could help and wanted to.” With main roads into the valley closed, Andy headed over unpaved Baldy Pass between Conconully and Winthrop, when he arrived, Terri was on the phone with Myers with news that his uncle and aunt, Ken and Vicki Orford, were trapped in their Buckhorn Mountain home northwest of Pateros. She’d gotten news through Facebook postings that fire had surrounded their home before they could evacuate. “They were laying in their bathtub,” Terri said. “They were under blankets they’d wet down and the house was completely filled with smoke. “I don’t know how they didn’t lose phone service, but we were basically up until 4:30 in the morning. Andy tried to get a truck up to them, but wasn’t able to until late the next day.” She said that the Orfords had

a water tender that they’d used to wet down the area around the house that likely played a big part in it not burning down. “Their son, daughter-in-law and nephew were trying to get to them from the coast,” Terri said. “They got stopped at the road block in Pateros, but he’s tribal law enforcement and his badge got him through. They told him it was at his own risk.” She said she’s been amazed by the support the family has received - starting with her and Andy’s employer, North Valley Hospital. “He wasn’t planning on missing work when he first went but he called and let them know he was going,” Terri said. “Us as a hospital granting Andy an unpaid leave to help in the fire is incredible. When Andy told me I thought it meant for a cou-

ple of days, but Kelly (Cariker) told him to stay as long as he needed to, we’d make it work. “That brought me to tears, even though this fire is not in our community, that it would lend our resources to outside communities like that.” She said that her father-in-law’s construction company also lent an industrial generator to hook up to Ken and Vicki’s home to get them a few basic services on line in their home. “I grew up in the Methow,” Terri said. “I’m no stranger to wildland fires. My mom was the district ranger of the forest service and was incident command on fires. My husband has worked fires for 10 years; that was how we met, a fire in the Methow. So I’m no stranger to it. “But this ... this was completely different.”

TONASKET - There have been so many relief efforts, donations and offers to help fire victims in the area that it’s hard to reconcile the generosity with the fact that Okanogan County annual ranks as one of the most poverty-stricken counties in the state. None of that stood in the way of a number of Tonasket teens that took it upon themselves to start their own relief efforts for residents of Pateros, who saw a large chunk of their residential area obliterated by the fire. Jensen Sackman, Myra Gaytan and Kasey Silverthorn traveled to Pateros on Saturday to see what they could do to help, and have returned multiple times to aid in the relief effort. “There was something in the news that Pateros needed help with volunteers to take shifts,” Sackman said. “We had nothing planned for the day. We just decided to go down there.” They didn’t know what to expect, but went anyway, packing a some flats of water they purchased at Wal-Mart on the way. “We pulled up (to Pateros Junior/Senior High School), someone asked us our names and they just put us to work,” Sackman said. “Clothes were set up on tables, but there was so much there that the tables weren’t enough. We got permission to use the gym floor. We started setting things out on the gym floor. We and Kasey pretty much started the organizing. They set us out to pretty much decide where to put things.” They returned to Tonasket Saturday evening with a list of items that were needed for Pateros. Twelve hours later, they had collected enough donations that they filled the back of Mayor Patrick Plumb’s borrowed pickup truck and another vehicle and returned with a larger crew to help organize and distribute the

A lot of the people were pretty quiet and distant.” “People didn’t care what they got,” Gaytan said. “They just needed everything. It was amazing to be able to help.” One elderly woman, they said, didn’t leave Sackman’s side the whole time she was there.

Most of the people they dealt with that first day came from the Alta Lake area, which burned twice in two days. “They said they had no warning - they just saw the smoke and flames so they just got out without any idea they were going to lose their homes,” Sackman said. “Everybody just left everything behind, so they have nothing. “The elderly lady had been making cookies. I asked her if she wanted Craisins, and she was like ‘I was just about to put those in my oatmeal cookies. Of course I want some.”

Two of four family homes spared: ‘We’ll take that as a win’ BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - Tina Holan thought she and her kids would follow her husband Tony from Tonasket down to the Patero/ Carlton area on Thursday to provide moral support after her parents’ home was lost in the fire. It turned into a much more harrowing experience than that. Tony Holan had spent most of Thursday, July 17, fighting to save Tina’s parents’ house from the raging fire. As it turned out, it was an unsuccessful battle. “Wednesday night at 10 my mom called and told me they were being evacuated,” Tina Holan said. “We were up all night, but in the middle of the night I realized that my dad wasn’t evacuating, he was going to stay and fight it.” Tony Holan, a seasoned firefighter, left at 3 a.m. Thursday to join the battle. “I’d rented a Bobcat, so I loaded it up and got down there,” Tony said. “But it was too late to save her folks’ place. And I watched her cousin’s house burn down as well.” He said that the lack of air support available at the time made the overall fight against the fire a hopeless one. “A lot of people, seasoned firefighters, it caught us off guard, the wind aspect,” he said. “It was something nobody really knew what to do with. It was making some extreme fire behavior we couldn’t

deal with. There was very little humans could do to stop it. “They probably could have done more with aircraft, but they didn’t have the resources at that time.” Tina’s mother had gathered some of her belongings and taken them to her son’s in Pateros, where Tina, son Jesse and daughter Sara met them. They figured they would be safe there. “Thursday afternoon we drove up the valley to Burma Road and stayed there a couple hours,” Tina said. “The fire was coming down; we were talking to the Sheriff ’s deputies.” Tony and his father had moved on to fight a fire at Tony’s cousin’s home. “Finally our guys came down and we realized what was going on ,” Tina said. “We went back to Pateros, and things blew up there.” The fire roared down the hill on the residential side of Pateros as sheriff ’s deputies ran through town urging people to evacuate before it was too late. “I didn’t know about any (evacuation) level because we’d been in the Methow all afternoon,” Tina said. “We weren’t thinking of being evacuated ourselves. We got to Ryan’s (her brother’s home), we’d been there for not long, and it was ‘get out now.’ “In just matter of seconds, it was Level 3 (mandatory evacuation),” Jesse said. “We saw it come over the hill,” Tina added “You think about fire moving

long - the school burning, businesses gone,” Tina said. “It was crazy. I grew up in Pateros. That’s my hometown, my teachers and friends. I wanted to see with my own eyes how bad it was. And it was bad, but I was equally relieved to see

what was still there.” That included her brother’s home, which stands intact at the edge of the devastation zone.” Tina said they’d had many offers to house her homeless parents; while their belongings are at Tina and Tony’s, they are living in a borrowed RV near Pateros. “People are trying to figure out how to rebuild their lives and it’s easier to be there,” Tina said. In the final count, two of four family homes survived the fire: Tina’s parents and cousins lost theirs; her brother’s and an uncle’s survived. “It’s tough, but we’ll take that as a win,” Tina said. Both Tina and Tony said they’d never seen a wildfire like this one, and that it was a reminder, despite their lifelong experience in the area, to be better prepared with emergency kits and keeping their property clear of fire hazards. “I’ve been around wildfires all my life,” Tina said. “My house burned down when I was five, so some of this isn’t new. But no, nothing like this, not to this magnitude.” “People just need to be more proactive about fire safety and their (emergency) plans,” Tony said. “We’ve gotten complacent - and that includes me. I’ve spent the past few days at our house doing things that we should have been doing all along.”

OKANOGAN COUNTY FIRESTORM Tonasket braced for firestorm

LONG, HOT WEEK

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - The Carlton Complex fire hadn’t come any further north than Malott, about 30 miles south of Tonasket, but the city did its best to prepare for that eventually after watching Pateros go up in flames on Thursday evening and seeing the fire march north at an alarming rate. A false alarm Friday afternoon - Omak was reported by multiple news sources to be at a Level 2 evacuation notice, though it never even was declared a Level 1 - had the community on edge. As the community cast a wary eye southward, a number of preparations were made: • Tonasket prepared contingency plans for response if the fire made its way north and threatened the town and surrounding areas. EMS director Michael Greene, Fire Chief Jim Rice, Police Chief Rob Burks, Police Sgt. Darren Curtis and several first responders were on hand. “We had the incident commanders responsible of the organizations responsible for (first response in) Tonasket,” said Tonasket Mayor Patrick Plumb. The group discussed which fire conditions would set off which level of evacuation warnings, assignments for incident command for city-wide issues, and fire (which would extend into county land), making sure communications were operational, how to deploy volunteers that came forward and where and when to establish a command center. Also discussed were encouraging residents to have their homes prepared. Plumb said that if power is lost, residents should put a high priority on conserving water. “The concern is that the pumps will not be able to re-fill the reservoirs with the power out,” he said. “That would limit the water needed for firefighting. We don’t want to drain the reservoirs and have the fire hit.” Another priority, he said, is mitigating fire hazards on personal property. “Take care of those now,” he said. “Don’t have things like old pallets, gas cans or firewood right up against your house.” • North Valley Hospital faced its own set of challenges, including the potential for taking on the patients of Three Rivers or Mid-Valley Hospitals if evacuees came northward. “We needed to make sure we had enough food on hand to feed our patients, and the nursing home,” said NVH Administrator Linda Michel. “We looked at things like linens, and blankets and bed pads, because if they had to leave the nursing home down there quickly we were afraid they wouldn’t have those things.” NVH itself, she said, needed to be sure it be able to receive necessities from vendors, as well as have access to blood. “We sat down with everyone I thought would be involved and brainstormed,” Michel said. “We knew we probably wouldn’t’ be in trouble, but what would our neighbors need if they evacuated from Brewster or Omak? “We just tried to be prepared for whatever people needed, and make sure our vendors could get through, bring us our blood, food and supplies” She added that the phone and internet outages forced the administrative staff to cancel their weekend plans in order to stay available, and on-call staff that didn’t live in town stayed on-site through the weekend. She added that they were prepared to cut hospital employees’ paychecks by hand in the event computer outages cut off access to their payroll system. “We just tried to be prepared for whatever people needed,” Michel said. • Tonasket School District prepared to be set up as an emergency evacuation center. At one point on Friday, Omak evacuees were rumored to be on their way to Tonasket, though that occurred as the result of a false alarm and never came to pass. “As the fire continued to grow and move toward our district, we looked at different aspects of possibilities,” said TSD superintendent Paul Turner. “I was in constant contact with Red Cross expecting the shelter in Omak to be transferred to Tonasket. We were looking at our facilities getting personnel and space ready if needed.” Turner himself was suffering from both and internet outages and assigned high school principal Jeff Hardesty to be the Red Cross’s emergency contact. “I also put transportation on alert just in case we needed buses and kitchen staff in case of that need. I had talked with a couple staff to be ready to seek volunteers if needed. “Thank goodness we weren’t needed.” That said, as of Tuesday morning DNR had set up camp in the field by the Middle School as 200 personnel were arriving to deal with the later stages of Monday’s Siwash Creek fire.

Kretz applauds Gebbers, firefighters, pans IC decisions BY BRENT BAKER AND GARY DE VON

BREWSTER - Washington State Rep. Joel Kretz, District 7’s representative who lives in Wauconda, was on had at several fire fronts as the Carlton Complex fire burned out of control last week. His dramatic pictures of Gebbers Farms workers protecting both Gebbers orchards and the city of Brewster were both inspiring and concerning as Kretz criticized some of the deployment decisions of incident commanders, though not of the firefighters’ efforts. “”They (incident command) wouldn’t deploy at Gebbers and they had between six and 12 rigs sitting nearby at Pateros,” Kretz said. “Gebbers had everything like cats to dig fire lines, but they had no four wheel drive fire trucks. “If we can’t have your guys at least tell us,” Kretz said. “It was just incompetence on their part,” emphasizing his argument wasn’t with the firefighters themselves, but the commanders. After the Gebbers crew using their equipment, including 180 orchard sprayers spraying water, finished their work, the firetrucks were finally released. “That’s after the incident command got calls from (U.S. Senators) Murray and Cantwell and (U.S. Representatives) Hastings and McMorris,” Kretz said. “Gebbers literally got the last line into (Brewster),” Kretz said. “Or it would have taken the town again.”

THE TOWN CRIER Investing in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workforce and competitiveness OPINION BY U.S. REPRESENTATIVE DOC HASTINGS WASHINGTONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

Millions of Americans continue to struggle to find work in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenging economy. Many Central Washington workforce-training centers have successfully helped unemployed workers find jobs. However, on the federal level, much improvement can be made. Like with all federal programs, I believe Congress should routinely review them and make necessary improvements to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Job seekers currently face a maze of overlapping programs and an inefficient, bureaucratic training system, making it difficult to get the skills they need to compete for a job in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. With millions of Americans still out of work and nearly 4 million job openings unfilled, we must look for ways to modernize and reform our federal workforce development programs. Doc Hastings Last week, a good thing happened. House and Senate leaders from both parties came together and passed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act,â&#x20AC;? sending it to the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk for him to sign into law. This is a great example of what we can accomplish together when we listen to the American people. This bipartisan, bicameral legislation makes much-needed updates to Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workforce training system and helps put Americans back to work. Now more than ever, valuable education and workforce development opportunities are critical to building a stronger working class. We need a system that prepares employees for the 21st century workforce, while helping businesses find the skilled employees they need to compete and create jobs in America. Too often, we hear of our soldiers returning from war and not being able to find work. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Actâ&#x20AC;? better serves our veterans by providing support and equipping them with critical job training services in order to find good paying jobs. As a former small business owner, I recognize the challenges many employers face in finding workers with the proper qualifications to hire. This legislation streamlines the workforce training system by consolidating 15 existing programs and saves taxpayer dollars by cutting bureaucratic government red tape. The bill also gives Washington State more flexibility to tailor our job training programs to meet the needs for occupations in-demand. Most importantly, it prepares American job seekers with the skills and tools they need to compete in a 21st century workforce. Ensuring Washington state maintains a dynamic workforce is critical to growing our economy. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Actâ&#x20AC;? is a common-sense bill that supports employers who seek skilled employees and expands opportunities for job seekers to achieve the American Dream.

THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF OROVILLE & TONASKET

The social media â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;firestormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; What a great week for Managing Editor Gary DeVon to be down for the count, recovering (nicely, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll report) from surgery. And ad manager Charlene Helm, on vacation to the coast. And my wife Kim, visiting family in Michigan. Up until Thursday evening, I spent a lot of time whining about all sorts of things. The last few days have done a bit to change all our perspectives, havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they? As that ominous mushroom cloud rose in the south, signaling the firestorm that devoured part of Pateros, I tried to follow what was going on however I could. That evening, that meant listening to the radio and following HALF-BAKED Facebook. Brent Baker Somehow, some way - the grace of God, sheer luck, or the Herculean efforts of local firefighters and residents - the only death reported in this whole disaster came as the result of a heart attack. But the firestorm that erupted on social media was almost as scary and potentially as deadly as the actual flames and smoke. People were making life and death decisions based upon Facebook and Twitter posts. Some of the information was flat out wrong. Other information was dangerously outdated, not through anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fault, but because of something as arcane as how Facebook sorts and time stamps its postings. Our readers that are connected via social media saw a lot - a LOT - of me these past few days. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planned. But when I started seeing conflicting information about the same situation showing up on my Facebook

The Oroville Gazette

75 Years Ago July 21 - 28, 1939: The fruit drying plant, owned and operated by the Valley Evaporating Company, has been undergoing an almost complete remodeling project which will triple its capacity. The building has been almost doubled in size and with the newer equipment and will give employment to a larger number of people. This will give them the capacity to process 30 to 40 tons of apples daily. Theo Neal, son of Mr. and Mrs. Len Eisele, accompanied by Russell Parkhill of the Wenatchee Air Service, flew to Oroville in a new 65 HP Cub Monoplane. They returned to Wenatchee after a short visit where Theo is continuing his pilot training. The heat has been the main conversation in Oroville the last few days. Coming after a more or less cool spring and early summer, the weather man turned on the juice this past week with the thermometer showing 93.5 degrees on Monday, jumped to 100.8 degrees on Tuesday, for the hottest day so far this year. (from the Tonasket Times) The possibility of the creation of an important new local industry is seen in the announcement this week by C. A. Kearney, that he soon will be exploring the estimated two million ton deposit of gypsum at Epsom Lake on Whiskey Mountain about ten miles northwest of Tonasket. The first arrest in Oroville, under the new Washington Fair trade Law, was made when the Town Marshall, Andy LeMay, served a warrant on Meyer Prince, charging him with selling a case of milk under the limit of so much above cost. The warrant was turned over to the marshal to serve by the prosecuting attorney and was sworn out by Ben Prince of Oroville. Grocery Prices: Pink Salmon, $.10 per can; Oroville Tomato Juice, $.06 per can; Raisins, 4 lb. pkg., $.23; Coffee, 2 lb. can, $.53; Fresh ground beef, 3 lb. $.25.

feed at the same time, the thought of leaving my computer was almost scary. Sorting through and finding sources of official information to re-post and trying to make clear what was current and what just sort of ... happened. Others were actively trying to do the same - Patrick Plumb, Connie Maden, Kurt Danison and Ephraim Brown come to mind at the moment - frequently playing off each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s posts and inspiring searches for additional sources of information to verify or enhance what was being said. Pictures and stories could wait. There were enough capable people with pens and cameras and recorders on site, and sharing the work (credited, of course) of reputable sources that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t conflict with emergency servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; announcements provided another key. Communications issues at â&#x20AC;&#x153;ground zeroâ&#x20AC;? meant that some agencies were able to update more consistently than others. Okanogan Sheriff Department, Chelan County Emergency Services, the firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; incident command blog became required reading. At one point I had 15 browser windows open ... I cut back. A lot of people learned a lot about disaster response through this generational (we can only hope) event. And the recovery progresses, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn a lot more about how to be better prepared for similar future events. But on my end, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s these few things to think about: â&#x20AC;˘ Social media can be your greatest friend or worst enemy in a crisis. Eyewitness accounts are great, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always see what we think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing in the heat of the moment. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on the account of someone whose status was shared by your friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin in Florida to make a life or death decision. â&#x20AC;˘ I used both the G-T and my personal accounts to share information. Partly, there

was just so much; the newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feeds I used to share things pertinent to our specific situation in the Oroville/Tonasket areas. My personal feed, I used for the larger, multiple-county story. Anything from an official agency, I tried to share. Personal accounts, pictures, descriptions, I tried to keep to events that had already happened, and tried to stay away from the kinds of things that might encourage a risky choice (i.e. evacuate or not). â&#x20AC;˘ Beware when you Share. Or even Comment. These functions are great for passing along information, but they can also cause problems. Early on I posted a video of a fire nearly overcoming a fire crew that looked (from the time stamp on it) as if it had been filmed on Thursday. It turned out it was two years old and from a fire that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even in this state. What happened was, when someone â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sharedâ&#x20AC;? the video, it gave it a fresh time stamp and location, making it appear as if it had originated locally that day. The same held true for Comments on the Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feed. At one time I read posts that made it appear as if Pateros was under all three evacuation levels at the same time. So, especially on the G-T feed, I tried to copy the original post with itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original time stamp, rather than use the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shareâ&#x20AC;? function, to try to minimize that kind of confusion. â&#x20AC;˘ The best thing about all this was, just as friends and neighbors came together in firestricken areas to help each other in a time of disaster, the same was happening with my digital world efforts. Tons of new sources of information, good questions, lots of encouraging words and support. So as the weeks and months of recovery set in - hopefully without more catastrophes - letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope we can keep this same spirit of cooperation and generosity thriving. And please, be smart about what you believe on social media, crisis or not.

50 Years Ago July 23 - 30, 1964: The 1964 May Festival Committee met last Monday evening for the purpose of closing out the festival business. The committee reported that this year showed a balance on hand after all bills had been paid, $13.96. Balance on hand prior to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival was $281.25. Receipts for this year are $713.74 collected at the barbecue, public dance, $181.00 and square dance, $5.00 for a total of $1,175.99. Bills, when totaled, came to $885.78 with the largest portion for the meat and paper supplies, totaling $716.03, leaving a balance in the Oroville State Bank of $295.21. Failing brakes were the cause of an accident Tuesday morning when a lumber truck heading down the Molson Grade ran off the side of the road. Driver of the truck, Wallace C. Turner, 18, of Chesaw, was only slightly injured. The truck, fully loaded, went off the road on a curve and plunged over a ten foot embankment into a field. Ghost Towns will come alive and homesteading days will be relived during an Okanogan County Historical Society tour of the Molson-Chesaw area this Sunday, August 2. From 11 a.m. until noon, the group will be at Chesaw and at 12:30 p.m., the societies first historic site marker will be dedicated at the Hee-Hee Stone site. At 1:00 p.m., a nominal charge lunch will be served at the Grange Hall. A picturesque old bank building, an assay office and a homesteaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cabin, donated to the historical society, will be dedicated. The group will arrive at the former Okanogan Smith orchards, now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Dave Thorndike of Oroville.

project, the Hats and Halters 4-H Club will be presenting the buyers of the Grand Champion Lamb and Market Beef of the Okanogan County Fair with a special belt buckle. The award is to show their appreciation to the buyers at the fat stock sale that they are thankful for their support. One of the money makers of the club was selling worms on opening day of the fishing season at Spectacle Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to make this an annual awardâ&#x20AC;? stated the leaders, Marcia Henneman and Nancy Barnes. What would summer time be without a circus coming to town? Thanks to the efforts of the Kiwanis Club of Oroville, the children and â&#x20AC;&#x153;big kidsâ&#x20AC;? of Oroville were not disappointed this summer when the world famous Wenatchee Youth Circus put on their show on Ben Prince Field. Even though cool summer winds were whipping across the field, the young circus performers were true to the old motto, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Show Must go on.â&#x20AC;? As you drive through Oroville and head east on 16th Street, you find yourself driving by a picturesque little park on the Okanogan River. What used to be a somewhat messy looking bend in the river is now a grassy park with three picnic tables and two barbecue grills. This is Riverfront Park. In 1966, the city leased the land from the DNR. At this time, the center of the park was filled with frog ponds, reeds, cattails and lily ponds. In 1967, the river was dredged out to make it deeper and in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Orovilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Main Street was re-done, all of the blacktop, rocks and gravel from the street was dumped to fill it in. After settling for three or four years, the city was able to level the ground an install a sprinkler system. (Note: the park is now called Henry Kniss Riverfront Park.) Real Estate: Roomy 3 bdrm home on 19 acres with seclusion and a super view. Has power, water, phone and access off County Road. All of this for $22,000, owner contract; Family home in town, 3 bdrm, free standing fireplace, fenced yard with soft fruit trees, partial basement, $38,500.

OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE Thinking of family and keeping touch Here we are nearing the end of one of the hottest Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that Oroville has had, in quite sometime, like up over 105 degrees some days. Not too much rain fell, to damage the crop, so the folks at the cherry shed are having a fairly long run working long hours. As we grow older I believe most folks start thinking of family, relatives and reunions and keeping in touch becomes more important than it is to the younger generations. (They more than likely do it by Facebook.) I know that is the case with us, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to do some â&#x20AC;&#x153;catch-upâ&#x20AC;? visits this summer. This past week end took us to Colville for some long over due visits with cousins. Getting to Colville can be done by several routes and this time we chose to not go the usual way, over Sherman Pass, but by way of Curlew and Boulder Pass. A very scenic route! We met Betty (Engle) Garvey for lunch, then on to a care center to visit her sister, Dollie Mae (Engle) Barr, who had the misfortune of

falling, doing severe damage to her body, and is hoping to soon be able to return home, where her husband Scott Barr waits. Both of these gals are petite little numbers weighing probably less than hundred pounds, are avid gardeners and Betty continues ranching and are on the high side of eighty-years-old. Incredible people! Colville boundaries have really expanded making it a larger town, with many additional businesses and of course some no longer exist. We returned by a way you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even want to hear about. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just suffice it to say, it was miraculous that the car still had four wheels on it when we finally arrived in Chesaw and I felt like kissing the ground in thanks for still being alive. Folks were hunting for and picking huckleberries along the way. Oh! and I forgot the wildlife! We saw one tiny fawn and a chipmonk. Whee! Word has come that Bob Garrett, formerly of Loomis and a longtime resi-

dent and business man there, have everything on display! passed away on Saturday.

Marion County Cadet John Mendrin was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award during the graduation ceremony. Oroville Explorer Kambe Ripley received the Chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award for integrity, leadership and heart. Oroville Explorer Bailey Griffin described the impact of the training, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The academy was both incredibly challenging and completely amazing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s those moments in life when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

pushed to our limits that teach us the most about who we are and show us how far we can truly go.â&#x20AC;? The academy taught me absolute strength is mental and showed me I can take on any challenge I put my mind to. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so grateful for the relationships I got to build with both the advisors and trainees, the strongest leaders Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever met. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until next year.â&#x20AC;? The 2014 Explorer Academy graduates are: Explorers Brandon Baugher, Nick ClasĂŠ, Bailey Griffin, Kambe Ribly and Nathan Rise, from the Oroville Station; Cadets John Mendrin, Nick Skelton and Grant Thommen, Marion County and Cadet Nathan Wick, Pierce County.

For the month of July we are honoring Army Specialist Beau Swenson. We have honored Brandon and Cody Swenson of Oroville in past months but Beau and Bud Swenson, who we will be honoring this and next month, hail from Chesaw. The two sets of Swensons are not related. With two children serving, Beau and Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother Karin is a two star Blue Star Mom. Beau is a Yankee Doodle Dandy having just celebrated his 22nd birthday during the month of July (8th).

Did you ever notice that the people telling you to â&#x20AC;&#x153;calm downâ&#x20AC;? are the same ones that got you mad in the first place?

Congratulations to the families. The flavor of a garden fresh cucumber canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be matched. Friends again sharing... Thanks Evelyn!

Puncture weeds (goat heads) are such a lacy, innocent looking little plant, with delicate yellow blossoms and yet they are such an awful, treacherous plant. Try and never step on one of the burrsâ&#x20AC;Ś they make you hurt all over. Why do weeds flourish with no water put on them and if flowers get just a little bit dry they die.

If you think back to your math classes in high school or college, you may remember that many of the problems involved the use of variables. Changing these variables around in any fashion would change the outcome of the problem. Similar situations occur in life all the time. To illustrate: If you look at the need to manage your retirement income so that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t outlive it as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;problemâ&#x20AC;? to be solved, you will need to adjust some variables to arrive at the solution you seek. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important you be aware of the key variables involved in your retirement income planning.

Of course, you can change your investment mix at any time: For example, you might want to shift to a greater percentage of incomeoriented investments as you move deeper into retirement. Your withdrawal rate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to calculate how much you can afford to withdraw from your investment portfolio each year without depleting it prematurely. Your annual withdrawal rate will depend on a few different factors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as your projected longevity, your investment mix and your other sources of income â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to be careful not to take out too much too soon.

Many retirees take part-time jobs, do some consulting or even open a small business. Whether you feel that you need to work, or you just want to work, the money you earn from employment can be an important component of your overall retirement income.

As you can see, all these variables involve choices on your part. And how you choose to exercise each variable will affect all the other variables. Consequently, as you manage and monitor your retirement income, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to make many important decisions.

doll and blanket made by Doris Hughes and the dollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bed put together by our president, James Gutschmidt.

OBITUARIES

Gerald Eugene Scholz

GERALD EUGENE SCHOLZ Gerald Eugene Scholz, age 83, was surrounded by his family and friends as he passed away peacefully from a courageous battle with cancer on July 16, 2014. Gerald was born to William (Bill) and Madeline Graham Scholz on October 29, 1930. He became the third generation to live and work on the ranch that was founded by his grandfather Daniel Graham, in South Pine Creek, in 1888. Gerald attended school in Riverside, Wash. and graduated in 1948. He was drafted into the United States Army in 1952 and was released with an honorable discharge. Gerald married Dolores R. Figlenski in 1952. Together

they raised four children; Debbi, Mary, Roberta and Gerald in the original home built by Geraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather. He was a member of the American Legion, Eagles, Elks, U.S. Armed Forces Legacy, The Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association and the NRA, among others. In 1977 he married Joyce Frink Hinger and lived out the remainder of his life in their home on South Pine Creek. Gerald was born into a life he loved; raising cattle, farming the land, hunting and fishing and spending time with his beloved family. A true cowboy, Gerald rode a good horse from the time he could walk. He was actively riding and working the cattle ranch up until shortly before his death. Gerald was a steward of the land and saw the beauty of the outdoors in the small details of every field, flower and sunrise. He worked continually to build a ranch to pass on to his descendents, a true testament to his strength and commitment. He was wise, kind and generous. He faced life head-on and had a way of making the best of everything life dealt him. Gerald is survived by his wife Joyce and her sons Tom (Sandy) Hinger and Doug (Mary) Hinger. And by Geraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children: Debbi (Gene) Burbery, Mary Scholz, Roberta Scholz (Tom Even) and Gerald Scholz (Bobbi Ayers).

Gerald was preceded in death by his parents and two sisters Colleen Scholz Taylor and Delores Scholz Grubin Duty and

his nephews Hank Taylor and Eddie Figlinski. Graveside Services will be held 2 p.m. on Saturday July 26 at Riverside Cemetery followed by a gathering in his honor at the Riverside Grange. In lieu of flowers, please remember Gerald in kind words or deeds towards others. Donations in his honor may be made to the U.S. Armed Forces Legacy (P.O. Box 854, Tonasket, WA 98855).
