Casey: not closing nursing home

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - North Valley Hospital Board of Commissioners Chair Helen Casey sought to quell rumors that the district’s Long Term Care facility was being targeted for closure, stating unequivocally at the Thursday, Aug. 14, board meeting that was not something that was on the table.

There had been discussion at the last board meeting in July (see below) about the reduction of available beds in the nursing home that has been underway since November, to the current working level of 40, and whether or not to bank or relinquish the now inactive beds. “(Wednesday) I had a call and today I had a call, that said ‘Please do not close the Long Term Care,’” Casey said. “I said, ‘We’re not closing the Long Term Care.’

The rumor mill is out there, for whatever the reason.”

CEO Linda Michel said she’d had a similar experience, though she’d also heard from a doctor that had heard that NVH would be adding beds to the nursing home.

“There’s all kinds of rumors out there,” she said.

“We are not closing the nursing home,” Casey said. “Be sure and tell your friends and neighbors that.”

LOOKING AHEAD Michel shared a presentation that gave an overview of the effects of changes in health care law, specifically referencing Washington State House Bill 2572 and Senate Bill 6312 that will dramatically change the structure of statewide public health care funding.

Tonasket hires new police officer Unauthorized use of fire hydrants a sore issue with city

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - The Tonasket Police Department has is has returned to its full complement of officers with the hiring of Matthew Beard, reported Police Chief Rob Burks at the Tuesday, Aug. 12, meeting of the Tonasket City Council.

Beard fills the position vacated by Audra Fuller, who resigned at the end of June.

Burks said that, though Beard will need to attend academy to complete his training, he brings with him quite a bit of experience as a reserve.

“He’s been a reserve in Republic for

the past couple of years,” Burks said.

“Since he already has Reserve Academy, when you hire somebody full time you’re allowed to use them for up to six months before sending them to the Academy.

“It’ll take about a month before he’s working shifts by himself. He was already at a level in Republic where he was able to work shifts by himself, so it’s just a matter of him learning how we do things here.

“I think he’ll be a good addition. He seems to have a good balance about him.”

REPORT NIGHT Most of the meeting featured reports from the council members and city staff.

The most discussion surrounded a couple of issues brought up by Mayor Patrick Plumb and City Superintendent Hugh Jensen - the unauthorized use of city water by out-of-area fire crews, and a WDOT error that resulted in a crosswalk being painted on a corner next to preexisting “no crossing” signs.

OKANOGAN VALLEY GAZETTE-TRIBUNE Volume 110 No. 34

The unauthorized use of city water by outside fire agencies was a particularly sore subject for Jensen. Trucks not equipped with backflow regulators could damage the entire system, he said; plus, the city has to account for water that is used and by hooking up to a hydrant without a meter, there was no way to track it. He also cited an instance in another city of what he called “back siphoning”, where a truck pulled so much water from the system that it sucked water out of residences and compromised the city’s entire water system.

“This is so big,” Jensen said. “It happens in other parts of the country. It costs cities millions of dollars to replace pipes because someone wasn’t doing their job and it’s not going to happen here. If they want water, they need to notify us and we can put a meter on it, and put a backflow on it. I don’t want someone hitting our hydrants that aren’t qualified.”

Jensen said there were at least four instances of unauthorized use, a couple

coming after he had delivered warning.

He also commended the Tonasket Fire Department for alerting him to at least one such instance.

Even more frustrating, he said, is that there was free water available for filling trucks at the Tonasket Rodeo Grounds and the US Forest Service facility in town.

“One way to alleviate this - because we will have other bad fire seasons - we create information packets,” said council member Jill Vugteveen, who is a USFS fire fighter. “That tells them the rules and expectations of our county, our district, and things that we can and can’t do. One of them could be that if you are managing an engine and you need to fill, these are the only places that you can do so.

It wouldn’t be hard to add that for the outside (firefighting) resources come in.”

The extra cross walk is at the intersection of Second and Whitcomb. That same intersection has the crossing signal,

STABBING | FROM A1 at 1 Balmes Road in Oroville.

The victim, John R. Omer, 58, of Oroville, was at home sleeping when he was woken up by an intruder in his residence. “Omer was stabbed several times during the attack, including wounds to his side, chest area

and head,� said Rogers.

Although Omer was not able to get a look at the suspect and was first reported as being “uncooperative,� he has since been working with detectives and deputies on the possible suspect in the case.

Detectives and deputies have also

interviewed several other witnesses in the case, according to the Sheriff.

In anyone has information on Mulligan’s location or if you see him please contact the Okanogan County Sheriff ’s Office at 509422-7232, said Rogers.

COUNCIL | FROM A1 installed just over a year ago, on the north side corners; there isn’t supposed to be a separate crossing on the south side, but after the road was chip sealed a new cross walk was painted onto the road there. “I found out who was in charge and told him he had a problem,�

Jensen said. “They put too many crosswalks in. He looks at his sheet and he says - yep, nine of them (along Whitcomb). I said yes, that’s what you put in all right, but there were only supposed to be eight. So the state messed up.�

Jensen said the DOT assured him it would be removed, but he wasn’t given a time table. “They also said they would give us back our real cross walk (at the lit crossing),� Plumb said. “The dried ones rather than the paint they just put on there. We spent a lot of money on that crosswalk.

The DOT guys sat in here and said they would give that crosswalk back and we haven’t seen it yet.�

IN OTHER REPORTS: • Council member Claire Jeffko asked if the city could warn or fine those who have not cleaned up fire hazards around their properties, especially in light of the severity of this year’s fire season.

Plumb said that the issue of private property right complicated matters, and that if warnings were given out, by the time one could judge of the offender had complied, the fire danger could well have abated. “Maybe we can use this as an

opportunity to educate,� Plumb said. “We’ve used social media during this time to talk about, if you have stuff laying against your house like firewood, pallets, tall weeds ...�

Council member Scott Olson read the ordinance that applied to fire hazards. “I think education,� he said. “(Fire Chief Christian Johnson) knocking on the door, feeling it’s dangerous ... I’m just thinking, this could be a long term thing where we try to become as fire wise as we can, where we get people more ready for when the fire does come down the hill from the east or the west, where don’t have lots that catch on fire. A big part is educating people in town of what the hazards are in town.�

She also said she’d been asked by a resident if “Children at Playâ€? signs could be put up to slow down drivers along Seventh Street. There was some discussion on the topic, but Burks said that he would not be in favor of such signs as it often gives parents a false sense of security that their kids would be safe playing in the street. • Olson complimented the city crew on their maintenance of the parks this summer. He also noted that, in light of Tonasket’s decadelong (and thus far futile) effort to get Whitcomb Avenue ground down and repaved (instead of just sealed over), that Omak and Okanogan had their main streets rebuilt this summer. (Those cities have far more local control over their own main streets, while Tonasket’s, being US-97, is a state-level issue.) • Council member Lois Rice

said she felt that “kids were taking over the town at night,� particularly in the area around The Junction. Chief Burks said that unless he receives complaints about their behavior, that the police couldn’t ask them to leave private property. “We do make contact with them,� Burks said. “But unless they’re breaking the law, what are we going to do with them? We do have the (closed) businesses ... on record, getting people off their property if they’re doing something wrong. “I enjoy it when they’re there because then I know where they’re at. It’s when I can’t see them that I’m more concerned...

(Curfews) have been challenged, and it’s been declared unconstitutional... You don’t have the right, unless they’re breaking the law or doing something suspicious, that they have to go home.�

BUSINESS AS USUAL Agenda items approved by the council included: • the use of liquor permit by the Community Cultural Center of Tonasket for the Tonasket Summer Festival at History Park, Aug. 22-23; • payment of $2,542 for the purchas of new radar units; • approval of a contract for D&D Auction Sales to conduct the city’s surplus auction on Aug. 13; • and approval of Sharon Cox to take Stacey Kester’s position on the library board (after Kester resigned her position).

The City Council next meets on Tuesday, Aug. 26, at 7:00 p.m.

Significant changes, she said, include a new method of funding that dictates will be shared by the various health care entities within communities; and that funding will be determined more by value (including communitywide levels of health) rather than fee-for-service. “They want to close the gap between preventative primary care, physical and behavioral health care, public health, social and human services, early learning education, and community development systems,� Michel said. “Right now they say we’re working in ‘silos’ (independent of one another)... They want us to collaborate so there is a more smooth process there, and each place that patient goes they know what’s happening. “It is hard to change people’s habits; we’re going to be paid on how healthy someone is. So it’s going to be an uphill battle.�

Michel said that many of the details of executing the legislation have yet to be worked out by the state, making planning difficult. “It’s going to be a huge change,� she said. “What scares us is how we’re going to get paid ... “I had about an hour conversation with (state Rep.) Shelly Short.

I told her my concerns about this plan. My concerns were that on a committee of 45, there’s only two rural health people on there. That bothers me. If there’s 50 on the committee I want 25 to be rural health. There’s as many or more rural hospitals in the state than there are tertiary centers. That is a huge concern of mine ... especially in the quality measures.�

She was particularly concerned that where statistical quality measures were concern - which will

TONASKET - Using the results of an online survey, as well as feedback from numerous community meetings, the Tonasket School Board engaged in a twoday strategic planning session last week to help crystallize its mission, vision and district-wide goals.

While the work isn’t yet complete, the moderated sessions started with culling the survey results, breaking them down into related areas and focusing them into specific goals that plans could be developed around.

Survey information included the community’s perceptions of strengths and needed areas of improvement in the district, as well as seeking suggestions for they kinds of things that would enhance Tonasket students’ education.

Some of the areas cited as needing improvement included: • Communication, especially between the board and the community; • Replacing the Alternative/ Outreach School building; • Adding classroom space to alleviate overcrowding; • Focusing more on teaching

OTHER ITEMS Casey also spent some time reflecting on the passing of former NVH board commissioner Edna Schertenleib. “She was very passionate about health care,� Casey said. “She leaves a legacy both to us and the community. She’ll truly be missed.�

The district has been sliding in and out of warrants every several days and as of Thursday’s meeting was just over $9,000 in debt to the county. NVH had about $12,000 cash on hand at the time of the previous meeting in July.

The commissioners next meet on Thursday, Aug. 28.

CATCHING UP Highlights of the Thursday, July 31, Board of Commissioners meeting (as culled from approved meeting minutes): • There was a lengthy discussion, led by Michel, Chief Financial Officer Helen Verhasselt and Long Term Care Director Linda Holden, on the topic of banking vs. relinquish-

ing beds in the Extended Care facility. The commissioners, last November, voted to reduce the number of available beds to around 40 from its previous level of 58, due to financial considerations. A big part of the issue is that the district is reimbursed by the state at rates set in 2007; a this point the legislature isn’t considering changes to those rates until 2016. No decision was made; the topic will be revisited at a future meeting. If the district were to “bankâ€? the empty beds, its occupancy rate will still be considered 58; relinquishing the beds would reduce the occupancy rate to the lower number. • Regarding the warrants, Michel shared an email received from Okanogan County Treasurer Leah McCormack.

While NVH was commended for its progress in getting out of warrants, McCormack clarified that once the district had built up its cash reserves, borrowing money from the county will no longer be an option. Future loans will have to come from other sources, McCormack said. Commissioner Teresa Hughes inquired about the boiler replacement project, which involves a $500,000 grant that is tied to the hospital contributing other funds; Verhasselt said that topic would be addressed at a future meeting. • There was discussion regarding the commissioners’ public participation policy at its board meetings. The commissioners received a written proposal to amend the current policy; the topic will receive further discussion after the board has gone through Open Public Meeting Act training, outlining recent changes in public meeting laws.

determine funding levels - the effects of one unsatisfactory measure are magnified at the rural level, where one patient represents a far larger percentage of the whole than at a suburban or urban facility. “Rural (facilities) need to be measured differently than larger tertiary centers.�

As part of the presentation, Michel shared a short video put together by Dr. Barry Bittman regarding the state of U.S. health care (a functional, as opposed to political, discussion) that can be viewed at: http://youtu.be/y51eT1-BE8.

and learning; • Adding opportunities for advanced learning.

Areas cited as strengths included: • Dedicated staff; • Availability of technology; • Openness to new types of learning; • Parent engagement; • Diversity.

Some of the desires for expanding opportunities included: • Career preparation • Technology training in nonApple technologies; • More community engagement; • Career exposure and exploration; • Community engagement.

(Complete data from the online portion of the survey can be found at http://tonasket. thoughtexchange.com/) During the work sessions, district goals coalesced into six primary categories: teaching and learning; stewardship; district climate; college, career and life readiness; addressing poverty and diversity issues; and engagement with parents and the community.

Language in all of those areas will be finalized during the next

several months. Thereafter, once the goals are prioritized, the plan is for Superintendent Paul Turner to formulate and present plans to the board for each individual district goal that could be put into effect over the next year or so.

REGULAR MEETINGS At the Monday, August 11, regular meeting the board approved its North Central ESD contract with Dave Arp, Executive Director of Administrative Services and Finance.

Approved personnel changes at the July 28 included the resignations of Middle School teacher (and varsity basketball coach) Tim Cork and Preschool teacher Lauri Davisson; and the hiring of Patricia Dagnon (3rd grade teacher).

Approved for hire at the Aug. 11 meeting were Middle School Title 1 paraeducator/ASB coordinator Teanna Wilson; High School art teacher Kevin Anderson; and Tyler Thrasher as High School assistant football coach.

The board also approved its budget for the 2014-15 school year at its July 28 meeting.

The Tonasket School Board next meets on Monday, Aug. 25, at 7:30 p.m.

Tonasket Water Ranch North County man killed construction gets go-ahead in rollover car accident

BY BRENT BAKER

THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - The Tonasket Water Ranch spray park will begin to appear at Chief Tonasket Park in earnest on Sept. 8 after much of the summer was spent working permitting issues for water drainage.

For a time it looked as if the park would need to be hooked up to the city sewer system, which would have added significant expense (as well as regulatory red tape) to the privately-funded project.

Linda Black, who has coordinated the project from the start and spent much of the past two years fundraising, said she is almost ready to breathe a sigh of relief.

“We’re ready to get it built and done,” she said. “I don’t have to raise any more money. I’m getting arthritis in my wrist; I’m having to re-learn how to socialize, how to shake hands without begging for money.”

Black has raised more than $200,000 in cash for the project, plus nearly another $100,000 in donated materials and volunteer labor.

Originally slated for construction in early July, the project was delayed thanks to a lack of policy in Central Washington regarding the drain-off from splash parks.

Black’s husband Tom helped pull together a number of different parties, and together the group came up with an alternative that satisfied everyone involved.

“Everyone was really cooperative,” Tom Black said. “They were throwing ideas back and forth.

I was in charge of drainage, but everyone was very helpful and together we came up with the design.

OROVILLE – A Tonasket man was killed early Sunday morning when his Fiat convertible left County Highway 7 and landed upside down in a field throwing the victim clear of the car.

The driver, Fred W. Cook, 53, a local north county business owner was pronounced dead at the scene. The accident was reported to the Okanogan County Sheriff’s office as a possible fatality near 1756 Hwy. 7, Oroville, around 6:45 a.m.

“Once on scene, the investigation shows that the owner of the residence had gone (outside) at around 6:30 a.m. when they saw the vehicle out in the field on their property. The vehicle was on its top and the driver was lying in the field south of the vehicle.

They then called emergency personnel to the scene,” said Sheriff Frank Rogers.

It appeared the driver was traveling southbound on Hwy. 7 and around Milepost 17.67 when the vehicle’s passenger tires left the pavement on the west side of the highway and

entered the gravel shoulder, according to Rogers.

“The driver attempted to overcorrect his steering and entered back into the south bound lane of travel and then slid sideways, leaving the roadway and into the field. The vehicle traveled down a small embankment, through a barbwire fence and then began to roll,” the sheriff said.

Cook was driving a 1972 Fiat 124 at the time of the accident. The investigation is being done by the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office and Washington State Patrol.

Ayasha Ferrier - and other Tonasket kids - will soon see the water-spraying pig and other animals taking up residence in the Tonasket Water Ranch, which will start going in on Sept. 8 after drainage issues were resolved.

“It’s called a ‘swale’ and it’s a passive method of draining from structures, like spray parks or parking garages. And there’s no pumps involved so it’s less expensive.”

The Blacks, city superintendent Hugh Jensen, building and permit administrator Christian Johnson, contractor Ty Olson and two other city employees met last week to finalize the plan.

“Sept. 8 is our firm building date,” Linda Black said. “We had the time sketched out in July, but we weren’t ready, so whatever worked for Ty was going to be fine with us. We just wanted a firm date to go with.

“Hopefully we’ll be able to open it for a bit this fall, but for sure it’ll be open as soon as the weather gets hot next summer.”

OKANOGAN – An Okanogan man was arrested Friday on several drug charges after a search of his tent revealed what authorities believed was heroin and methamphetamine, according to Sheriff Frank Rogers.

At approximately 1 a.m.

Okanogan County Sheriff’s Deputies were conducting a foot patrol in Legion Park. The park, which is part of the City of Okanogan, allows people to camp there overnight and is commonly patrolled, said Rogers.

“The deputies encountered four people in a tent in the park.

As they came up to the tent, which had a light on inside and they could see four subjects, one appeared to be injecting something in his arm, while one was smoking something, not tobacco and they were discussing the

509-486-0615

prices and weights for the drugs,” said the sheriff.

Deputies contacted the four subjects and then later obtained a search warrant for the tent. In the tent they found suspected heroin, suspected methamphetamine, a large amount of paraphernalia and needles. Also found in the tent was a semi-automatic weapon, ammunition and $2380 in cash.

“There were several baggies of packaged for sale of the suspected heroin and there were five syringes that had suspected heroin or methamphetamine in them.

All the drugs will be sent to the lab for testing,” said Rogers.

Arrested at the scene was David G. Ferrell, 32, of Okanogan. Ferrell was transported to the Okanogan County Jail and booked on several charges including possession of a controlled substance with intent to

deliver, heroin; possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

THE TOWN CRIER LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We have ‘Dubya’s legacy, Obama’s nightmare’

Fred, we’ll miss your smile Normally a class reunion is a happy time, a time to catch up with classmates you haven’t seen in a long time, or at least since the last reunion. Last weekend’s OHS Class of 1979 reunion was a happy time, although as many of you may know by now, we lost a great friend and classmate, Fred Cook, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

If there was one thing you could count on from Fred was he was fun-loving and quick to smile. You couldn’t help but have a good time when he was around. And the Class of ‘79 did just that on Friday and Saturday, having a few laughs, swapping “remember when” stories and catching up on each other’s lives – making promises to keep in better touch.

At one point on Saturday, Fred, some felOut of low 79ers and I were recalling those Oroville My Mind classmates who couldn’t make it to the reunion.

Gary A. DeVon Not because of distance or busy schedules, but because they were no longer with us except in memory – Lloyd Campbell Jr., Kathy Thornton and Ron Ficker were all we could come up with. Little did any of us know that in a few short hours Fred too would be part of that list.

Most of us found out just before the Sunday picnic that a passersby had found our Fred thrown from his little convertible Fiat off the ‘Old Highway’ (County 7). He had never made it home. After it was announced we all agreed that Fred would have wanted us to have a good time with our friends and family and not to mourn. There was disbelief, some tears, anger, denial – and self-recriminations for letting him drive home. He seemed fine when he left Saturday night, turning down offers from those who had gotten motel rooms to sack out there with them. Sunday morning we had to realize what happened couldn’t be undone — was part of life. We consoled each other, but most of all we toasted Fred’s memory, laughed and carried on.

When you come from a small graduating class like Oroville’s it’s different then going to a big school. You grow up together and everyone is an integral part of each others lives – at least until life post high school takes you somewhere else. Life is short, so cherish the good memories and if you have any not so positive memories of school let them go – make friends while you can.

I’ll remember Fred most for his smile, his laugh and his good natured kidding. We will all keep his wife Jessie and Fred’s family in our thoughts and prayers. A memorial has been planned for Saturday, Aug. 30 at 11 p.m., the location is yet to be announced.

Dear Editor, What do you do if you have a horrendous mess to clean up – acres of floor --- left by a sloppy Grand Ol’ Party? An unplanned, unwanted gala for power hungry nincompoop hawks? With one pop and one buck of water, what do you do!?

You mop until your bucket is full of mud and every attempt to clean just lays down more dirt! What do you do?

Here we have Dubya’s legacy and Obama’s nightmare.

Iraq continues and shall remain in chaos.

Our actions don’t always come out as planned.

This stupid show placed in everyones’ head 11 years ago is a lesson in leadership. A lesson that will never be learned.

We sit home powerless, hoping and praying for sense and stability. Sit back and watch – our only option – it’s a Revelation to me.

Folks who don’t believe in the Bible – that it’s fiction – have no knowledge of world history since 33 A.D. None.

The Bible is a timepiece – chronologically telling – and boy has it taken a licen! And still tickin! About two-thirds of a day, right now, seems to be Rev. 8:12 Mark 13:20.

Time is light – visa versa.

Thanks, Dan Dixon Oroville

WDF&W lends a hand to county with vehicles Dear Editor, The last month has not only been hard on the victims of the fires, citizens of Okanogan County, law enforcement and fire fighters, it has been extremely hard on the aging fleet of the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office.

Our patrol vehicles are old… we have two newer ones from 2013… the rest are from 2008 back to 1996. This month has put a strain on all of them, with two blown engines, over half a dozen in the shops for repair and the last 6 remaining line cars are being currently used. Almost all of the patrol vehicles have between 150,000 and 200,000 miles on

them.

As of now the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office is out of cars…and with that said, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has loaned us two fully equipped trucks to use for the next two months, longer if needed.

We have several vehicles having major mechanical problems, mainly from being old and how much they were pushed the last month. We have several that have melted parts and the engines have been pushed to their limits.

Just having these two vehicles available for Deputies to use is huge for us and we can’t thank Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife enough. Not only have they helped us out with the vehicles but for the last month they have had their Officers helping us everywhere we needed, including the weekend when we had the Rising Eagle Fire and wind storm. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife sent us anywhere from six Officers to assist us. They helped us with evacuations and handling calls and have been assisting us pretty much for the last month since the fire blew up.

I just want to personally thank the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for everything they have done for us and continue to do and we are extremely grateful for the vehicles.

We have been okayed by the Commissioners to order three patrol vehicles but they will not be here until November, it takes time to get a vehicle here and set up for patrol. We will get through this but without the two extra rigs I don’t know if we would make through summer… we still have two more months of fire season and still must handle the day to day

This is faith working through love Dear Editor, I know it’s been a long while since I last wrote and I will confess I’ve been a bit selfish. Although I’ve tried to write several times, I couldn’t because I know that without the grace of God words are simple, empty and vain.

I’m so thankful for everyone who has been a part of mine and Jack’s life – whether in discipline, direction or encouragement, I have found the divine love everyone has for us. Yes, we have overcome voices that came against us and yes we have stumbled along the way, but for every falter we know that God is for us! Rom. 8:28 says, And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. Now to give any one person sole credit for our life together would not be fair to the one who gives life, Jesus Christ our savior. Only God knows the heart of man and if He loved the whole world enough to give His son Jesus as a sacrifice and if Jesus laid his life down willingly then I believe His grace is sufficient and His mercy will follow us all the days of our life.

So then I hope everyone knows how grateful we are for everyone who has given a little of themselves in spirt and in truth; a loving sacrifice to love us through. This my friend is faith working through love. Remember one must first have hope before faith and the greatest of these is love. For whoever is born of God overcomes the world and this the victory that has overcome the world our faith.

And who is the one that overcomes the world but he believes that Jesus is the Son of God. First John 5:4-5.

I’m not here to dispute differences, that’s so beneath the Lord. I am here to seek and find what we all agree upon. In truth I see our community coming together in one accord and that’s a promise! What a lovely communion and offering unto the Lord.

Thank you dad for giving me back to God. The fruit of the spirt is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, peace, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control against such there is no law. Gal 5:22-23.

We thank you all for your part in John W. McAlpine and Sabrina Kay Rounds union of marriage. We love you all.

God is not dead!

Mrs. John W. McAlpine Oroville

OPINION BY WILLIAM SLUSHER

SOCIOPOLITICAL WRITER

would sue everyone from the axe maker to the doctor to the camp.

My camp had a mandate every year to find a camp need, design a fix and build it.

One year it was a fire tower, one year it was an infirmary building, one year a bridge to make it easier for parents to traverse a deep, 12 foot wide brook that cut through camp.

Projects were proposed and voted on, plans were drawn, logs were cut, barked and hewn, and all summer long we constructed a vehiclebearing, forty-foot bridge, five feet over the brook. It’s still there.

Grandson laughs. You know that creek at camp, Popop, he says, the one with the collapsed footbridge? I did. A tiny trickle about three feet wide runs through his camp toward the nearby lake. A simple, ten-foot, log footbridge there for decades had finally rotted away and dropped into the creek.

Camp wanted to have a simple new footbridge built, grandson says, so we don’t have to trek clear around by the car bridge. But, turns out, we can’t even take out the old bridge without an EPA environmental impact study which it will take us at least three years to get and will cost more than the bridge itself, even if it approves the bridge, which EPA says it probably can’t do under current waterway guidelines anyway.

The case against inefficient, overpriced, clumsy government intruding where it has no business... rests.

OKANOGAN VALLEY GAZETTE-TRIBUNE | AUGUST 21, 2014

OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE Dropping music in the primary is outrageous I have been hearing rumors for quite a while, but wanted to be sure before I voiced my opinion, about the fact that there will not be any music program in the elementary school, kindergarten through third grade. I have official word from the superintendent’s office that it isn’t a rumor. It is a fact. I think it is outrageous! And I might add that there are many others who feel the same, because I’ve been questioned so many times.

One look at my picture at the heading of my articles will tell you I don’t have any children in those grades. Even my great-grandchildren are beyond that, but that does not alter the fact that there are many other children entering school that are going to miss out on introductory music. It is a fact that those early years are the most formative years of a child’s life. One of the first things we do for a child is sing to them. Then we teach them little songs to sing.

With a budget of over $8 million it would seem they could eek! out a little bit for a music program (if that is the reason, this time).

I have been around for a lot of years and during those years how many times have I seen the music program get the “short end of the stick” due to funding or scheduling or some other reason.

But there is always money and time for sports. I am not against sports. But

I am for music. Music is forever and sports are pretty much for the duration of school. So far I’ve never heard of a sports player being called on to help at a wedding, church, funeral and other functions, where music is needed. There!

I’ve said just a little bit of what I think…

I hope others say more!

While I’m in a negative mood I might as well get this off my mind. There are plans in the making for the upcoming Okanogan County Fair to have a beer garden. Really! Now, there is nothing wrong with having a beer or two, but can’t we just keep the fair family oriented with emphasis on the children, as it has been in the past? Then, when you get home, after herding kids around at the fair, sit down, relax, cool off and then have your beer.

(Editor’s note: the county fair board did consider a beer garden, but ultimately voted against it, at least for this year.)

The Oroville Seniors had a pancake breakfast, fund raiser, recently, a first I think. It was successful, a lot of work, some fun, and perhaps now that they know how, maybe, there’ll be another(?)

How smart is this? It was recently reported that the government spent $7000 on videos, teaching mothers how to teach their kids to eat vegetables. How about trying this? Put some on their plate, tell them to “eat it, or I’ll give you

some more.” Worked, for my sister-inlaw, Vivian. And I think her kids still liked her.

Once again the Assembly of God Church has sponsored a youth work program, helping seniors, handicapped and others needing chores done. What a great project! And you know what? I didn’t see one cell phone. They were working!

My Thursday pinochle ladies played cards at Wannacut Lake last week. They have done that once a year for several years and I’ve missed the last two or three times. Had a nice lunch, played cards, then dessert. One of their specialties is pie, called mounds. It is chocolate with a ton of coconut and huge. Yum! Last week I mentioned the serious illness of Velma Colbert Hill. Her time of suffering was cut shorter than it might have been as she passed away, at home, with family at her side. I had known Velma a lot of years. When she was in her prime she was one of the fastest apple packers in the warehouses. In later years, when her hands became very painful and disfigured, I’d tease her and tell it was her past catching up with her, from packing all the big apples away from her coworkers. Her family was so very important to her and sympathy goes out to them and she will be sincerely missed at lunch, at the Senior Center, where she had faithfully attended, until her health

TONASKET MARKET REPORT

TONASKET FARMERS’ MARKET

Summertime...and the livin’ is easy! It’s as easy as pie at Tonasket Farmers’ Market.

Joanne Burch of Riverside, a new member of the market family, bakes 19 different flavors of fruit pie. Being a pie baker myself and a bit of a pie-snob, I was compelled to try one. The texture of the crust and the filling exceeded expectations, as did the pure fruit flavor. Best of all, I didn’t have to heat up the kitchen to bake and serve homemade pie. With 75 years of baking experience under her apron, Joanne modestly says she makes “plain homemade pies.” Humble pie indeed; one

Tonasket sees an increasing number of groups of cyclists rolling through town thanks to its visitor-friendly bike camping spot behind the TVBRC downtown. Last weekend a group of more than 30 cyclists with the group Bike & Build came through town as part of their fundraising efforts for affordable housing. During their long-distance trip, the group will spend several days contributing to volunteer building projects. There were nearly 10 such groups riding 3,000-mile plus routes across the country; this group started in New Hampshire on June 12 and will complete their ride in Vancouver, B.C., on Thursday, Aug. 21. More information on the group can be found at www. bikeandbuild.org.

Tonasket Library fundraiser SUBMITTED BY MIRIAM CADDY TONASKET LIBRARY BOARD

TONASKET - The Tonasket Library Board and friends of the library are raising money for a storage shed for the Tonasket Library.

A music/dessert fundraiser has been scheduled for Sept. 19, at the Community Cultural Center of Tonasket to support the project.

Our main fundraisers are two book sales a year. One is during

the Founders Day celebration and the other is during the Winter Fest celebration. We appreciate the many books that are donated to the library for the book sales, but the library does not have space to hold all the books donated.

For many years we have taken the books to Ellisforde to store and we appreciate Appleway Mini Storage for donating that storage to us. It has gotten more difficult and more costly to take the books there for storage.

The Tonasket City Council has

Crazy weather we’re having SUBMITTED BY MARIANNE KNIGHT HIGHLANDS CORRESPONDENT

Well, we are all talking about the weather again. It has been so crazy. The other day we were in Chesaw when it started to rain.

Not just a regular rainstorm, it was a downpour. We had been visiting with friends and we all decided it was time to head home.

We only live about five miles out of Chesaw so it was not a big thing to have it raining. Low and behold we only got about half the way home and the road became dry and dusty and not a drop of rain anywhere. Crazy weather.

We are glad to see the rain as we are glad to have the sunshine also.

Before we started with the new computer I was writing about my favorite places in Chesaw and Molson. Well, we all know what happened. Things have been better these past few weeks, so I am going to try again. Without a doubt the Chesaw Mercantile is my favorite place of all. The “Merc” is a good place to meet with your friends everyday of the week except on a Sunday. There is a library of books on all subjects so you can read a romance, mystery, science fiction or a good

Spicy hot food and hot summer weather go together. Try the banana peppers from Lu at Dharma Farm. She has “Big Jim” sweet peppers for the less adventurous, as well as beets, carrots and Thai eggplant. If making your own salsa appeals to you, stop at Fernando and Alma Capote’s booth to pick up all you need; tomatoes, onions and tomatillos.

It is known that a simple surgery has been preformed in the parking lot by a cowboy vet. No name or names are available.

Band aids included. You might even learn something about animal husbandry.

You can purchase a stamp, mail a letter, pick up a package from UPS, FedEx or just let Ruthie, the mail lady, take care of it for you. Saturday is Ladies Day. Come in and catch up with what’s going on. The last Saturday of the month is Book Club day. Read a chosen book each month and review it with other readers at the end of the month.

You could attend a meeting about wool, once a month you can purchase Schwan’s products from “Farley the Schwan’s Man.” He is a real character. Just ask him. You can read the newspaper ads in the paper so you can shop the rest of the week.

Enjoy the sweet summer treats offered by Godina Concession; refreshing fruit waters made from fresh fruit, fruit cups with spears of melon, pineapple, cucumber and the like, and a favorite with the kids; sno-cones. Sno-cones are available flavored with syrups or with the natural fruit waters.

This big kid’s favorite flavor is strawberry kiwi.

Speaking of kids, Thursday, August 28th is Children’s Day at Tonasket Farmers’ Market. There will be prizes, games, face painting and more. The young and the young at heart will enjoy summer fun on Children’s Day. See you there!

SPORTS Finding room in my heart for a Green Bay Packer I spent Saturday afternoon with my phone turned off, tuned into ... an NFL pre-season game featuring the Green Bay Packers and St. Louis Rams?

Yes, really.

I’m not that much of a football geek, though it’s close.

But this was a first for me. On the field for the Packers was a wide receiver, a seventh round draft choice, who happened to be my son A.J.’s kindergarten classmate, Little League teammate, and a three-sport athlete that I covered through his high school career at Tawas Area High School in Michigan.

Much like North Central Washington has with Chelan’s Joe Harris, childhood friends, teammates, opponents, and most everyone with a sporting interest in that rural part of northern Michigan has been enraptured with Jeff Janis’ rise into the NFL. He’s gone from small town high school star to small college AllAmerican at Saginaw Valley State (a Division II school, like Central Washington University), to one

of the final picks in this year’s running back for his final high NFL draft. school games because of a broken Tawas and Chelan have a lot in finger that meant he could no common - resort-centric beach longer catch a pass). communities with That Tawas team high school graduneeded to win its final ating classes in the two games to qualify 125-student range. for the state playoffs.

Harris, drafted by With the team’s startthe NBA’s Cleveland ing quarterback out Cavaliers (and a for the season with teammate of LeBron his own injuries, Janis James for as long as ran for touchdowns he remains there) was of 66 and 45 yards Washington’s basto lead his team to ketball player of the a 20-18 win in the year as a senior, and HALF-BAKED first game. In the ended up at Virginia final must-win game, Brent Baker of the Atlantic Coast he was sick but came Conference, adjustthrough with a 238ing to the highest level of colle- yard performance on 15 carries to giate competition there. key a 50-28 win over a bitter rival Janis wasn’t nearly so decorated that was another playoff-bound in high school. team.

It’s debatable whether he was Still, this was like playing in even the best player on his high the Caribou Trail League. There school team until he was a senior. were plenty of large school He was an excellent receiver, he players from other parts of the had good speed, by all accounts state snapping up the scholarwas coachable as well as tough ships to places like Michigan and (he switched from receiver to Michigan State.

So, as many of that area’s best college-level athletes do, he ended up at a smaller school and didn’t really start drawing the attention of NFL scouts until he led the nation (Division II) in receiving yards as a junior and followed that up with an 83-catch, 1,572-yard season as a senior.

That earned an invitation to the Senior Bowl, where he showed he could play with other NFL prospects. And an invitation to the NFL Combine, a “meat market� of sorts where athletes show off their physical skills.

While considered a raw talent who hadn’t faced much of the type of talent found in the NFL, his Combine time of 4.42 in the 40-yard dash raised plenty of eyebrows (including mine - he was fast in high school and was an accomplished sprinter, but that?).

That, folks, is speedier than the Seahawks’ Richard Sherman (4.54).

So, Saturday, on the fourth anniversary of the day that he lost his dad to cancer, Janis took the field for an NFL team for the first

time, after missing the first week of training camp with shingles.

I knew that, in the middle of Detroit Lions country, a growing legion of Green Bay Packer fans were glued to the TV, just as I was.

I held my breath as the Packers sent Janis back to field punts which he did flawlessly on all three that he touched, including two fair catches and a nine-yard return.

And then, out of nowhere in the third quarter, Janis caught a little slant over the middle from backup quarterback Scott Tolzien. Outran six defenders to the end zone for a 34-yard touchdown.

I don’t often get that teared up over football games, but this time I did. For every small town kid that dreams of making it to the National Football League, Major League Baseball, or the National Basketball Association, here was one - THE one, in my couple of decades of covering high school sports - that is on the verge of achieving that dream.

(We moved to this area about two weeks after Harris graduated, so I didn’t see his high school career).

I tried to figure out how many kids have populated the rosters of all the teams I’ve covered - state championship teams, winless teams, mediocre teams, teams with multiple Division I players, teams with no college-level talent whatsoever. It’s got to be more than 10,000 kids in football alone.

So in all that time, Jeff Janis is the first that I saw as a high school player to play (even in the pre-season) a game for a major professional team.

It’s that rare. It’s that special.

Janis appears to have the inside track as the Packers’ fifth receiver.

So if he sticks on the roster and by some miracle he takes a slant and beats Sherman to the corner of the end zone when the Seahawks host the Packers on NFL Opening Night, you’ll have to forgive me if I cheer.

For Jeff Janis, for Joe Harris, and for every small town kid with big dreams.

OBITUARIES Assembly of God Church in Oroville. Refreshments will follow the ceremony of Velmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made in Velmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to the Oroville Senior Center.

Even though Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s took a lot of his memories and took him from us, we are so thankful he still had his silly sense of humor.

He will be greatly missed. We would like to thank the wonderful staff at Moses Lake Senior Living for taking such good care of our Dad. The family asks that donations be made to Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association at 225 N. Michigan Avenue, Fl 17, Chicago, IL 60601 or online at www.alz.org.

JACK D. WOOD Jack D. Wood, 86, longtime Moses Lake resident passed away peacefully in his sleep Monday, August 18th at Moses Lake Senior Living. Jack was born August 1, 1928 in Chesaw, Wash. to Don Wood Sr. and Hazel (Mooney) Wood.

He was raised and educated in Chesaw, Molson and graduated from Oroville High School.

Immediately following high school, he joined the US Navy and served until 1950 when he was honorably discharged in Boston, Mass. which is where he met and married the Love of his life Gerri Cusato (who was the sister of one of his shipmates).

He was called back to serve in the Korean war from 1951 to 1953.

They then settled in Oroville.

They moved to Tonasket in 1958, to Spokane in 1967 before settling in Moses Lake in 1974. He always said being in the Navy allowed him to see the world for free. Dad loved his family and was always happiest when everyone was around. He loved to garden and teach his grandchildren how to plant seeds and watch them grow. In his younger years he was an avid hunter and fisherman, his favorite time was with his son Rick and his dad. Over the years he worked as a logger, roofer, milkman, truck driver and salesman.

Jack was preceded in death by his wife of 43 years, Gerri, his grandson Bryan Koesterman, his parents, brothers Ben and Don Jr, sisters Florence, Maude, Helen and Georgia. He is survived by his children Merri Jayne Koesterman, Rick Wood, Teri Swindoll and Robin CusatoWood, sisters Betty and Mick, his grandchildren Brenda Taylor, Dawn Wood, Jeremy Wood, Colby Hurd, Kiley Hurd, Kimberly Swindoll and Kebra Swindoll, and his nine great grandchildren.

His funeral service will be Friday, August 22 at Kayserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chapel at 2 p.m., with viewing from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Interment with Military Honors will follow at Pioneer Memorial Gardens.

Dad was always the fifth kid in the family. He usually started the mischief and we all got in on it!

Velma Marie Hill passed away on Tuesday, August 12th at home surrounded by family, after a prolonged battle with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease. Velma was born to Evan Colbert and Cora Smallwood on January 2, 1935 in Omak, Washington, the youngest of eleven children.

The family lived in Chesaw and Velma attended school in Molson. In 1951, Velma married Richard Ray Hill and moved to Oroville where she worked in the apple warehouses for 36 years as a sorter and packer. It was often said she was the fastest apple packer in the valley. Velma and Richard were married for 32 years and enjoyed their time together in the mountains.

In 1986 Velma met her long time companion of 27 years, Paul Gentry, who purchased her first horse. Horses and horseback riding became her favorite pastime over the next 20 years.

Velma was a member of the Back Country Horsemen, she packed into the wilderness many times and rode most of the trails in the Pasayten Wilderness, fulfilling a lifelong dream. A special thanks to Tiny Gould and Gordie Geisen for helping make those dreams come true. In recent years, she was an active member of the Oroville Senior Citizens Center and the Red Hat Society.

Velma was caring, generous and lived life to the fullest. She enjoyed all things beautiful, from taking drives looking for deer to the sparkle of dazzling garments.

Velma was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Hill in 1983 and her long time companion, Paul Gentry in 2013, as well as her parents, Evan and Cora Colbert, brothers: Lloyd, Marvin, Melvin, Orin and David Colbert and sisters: Ruby Sherling, Eleanor Anderson and Retha Colbert.

Velma is survived by her three children, Richard Milton Hill of Kalispell, Mont. and daughters Beverely Hill and Karen Tibbs of Spokane; granddaughters Rickayla Hill of Kalispel and Julie Tibbs of Spokane; grandsons Michael Reienes and Mitchell Tibbs of Oroville; daughterin-law Trish Tibbs, who was Velmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Angelâ&#x20AC;? always going above and beyond to help;greatgrandchildren Chad, Cody, Seth and Noah; sisters Leatha Melton of Spokane, Elizabeth (Betty) Grigsby of Airway Heights; as well as numerous brother-inlaws, sister-in-laws, nieces and nephews.
