Budget season begins for city

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - Budget season has begun, a usually painful necessity for most municipalities.

City Clerk/Treasurer Alice Attwood said during a public hearing at the Tuesday, Sept. 23, city council meeting that the city’s sales tax income has remained level.

“We’re fortunate that we do have pretty fair, consistent sales tax,” Attwood said.

Property tax numbers won’t be received from the county assessor until October.

She reminded the council of its plan to raise water and sewer rates by three and two percent, respectively, on an annual

basis.

“Instead of doing none, none, none, then 15 percent,” said Mayor Patrick Plumb. “That’s going to be typical for our city processes to keep up with our incurred costs.”

Council member Scott Olson said he wanted to look at adjusting other city fees according to the Consumer Price Index, since that was how city employees’ salaries are adjusted.

“I suggest we include that in rates we set by resolution,” Olson said. “So if we charge $25 for someone to check a meter on a weekend - I’m making the number up (for discussion purposes) - we would charge $25.50 next year. Across the board, we have our fees we charge for

BY GARY A. DE VON MANAGING EDITOR

OROVILLE - The Oroville Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a Candidate Forum on Thursday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Oroville High School Commons.

Each candidate will get a minimum of 10 minutes to present (more depending on total presenters).

Every candidate of every contested race for county has been invited to attend.

“Of course, not every candidate may be physically able to come, but is being invited to officially appoint a presenter on his or her behalf. If you have a favorite candidate, be sure to contact that candidate to make sure they received the invite and will have someone there to represent them,” said Clyde Andrews, president of the Oroville Chamber of Commerce.

Due to time limitations, the chamber cannot invite candidates for uncontested positions, nor have presenters on the issues on the ballot, according to Andrews.

“This will be a time for candidates to personally introduce themselves to us and their issues. This will not be in the format of a debate, though each candidate will have an opportunity to speak after his or her contender,” said Andrews.

The forum will be the organization’s

Oroville Police Chief Clay Warnstaff will retire Last day set for Oct. 31

BY GARY A. DE VON MANAGING EDITOR

OROVILLE – After seven years as Oroville’s Police Chief, R. Clay Warnstaff announced his intention of retiring as of Oct. 31.

Chief Warnstaff made the announcement in a short letter to Mayor Chuck Spieth and at the last city council meeting.

“You’ve done so much for the city, what can I say, when you’ve gotta move on, you’ve gotta move on,” said Mayor Spieth.

Warnstaff had nothing but praise for the mayor and council’s support of his efforts over the years.

“It is good to have a mayor and council that doesn’t try to second guess you.

And having Chuck for mayor, as he was former police chief, that was great,” said the police chief.

He went on to thank the council for making his time “really easy” and giving him the freedom to do what he wanted to make things work.

“The cooperation between the mayor and city council is outstanding... everyone worked well together,” he said.

Mayor Spieth had appointed Warnstaff the police chief in August of 2008. He had been serving as interim police chief

after then Chief, Randy Wheat, was diagnosed with cancer and while he was undergoing treatment. Wheat later succumbed to the disease and the mayor asked Warnstaff to remain in the interim position until a final decision was made on who would be chief.

Warnstaff will be retiring at the same time as City Clerk/Treasurer Kathy Jones, who has worked for the city for 40 years.

While Jones’ position has been filled by JoAnn Denney, Warnstaff said he did not know yet who would be taking his place.

Warnstaff said he would be remaining in the area and plans to continue working for US Customs and Border Protection at the Oroville Port of Entry at least one day a week.

Carlton Complex Fire: Public meeting to review results of burned area analysis SUBMITTED BY KIRSTEN COOK OCD EDUCATION AND OUTREACH COORDINATOR

PATEROS Okanogan Conservation District will present the results of the analysis conducted by the Interagency Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team on Monday, Sept.

29 at 6 p.m. The meeting will be at Pateros City Hall, 113 Lakeshore Dr., Pateros..

The Interagency BAER Team is the first of its kind and was tasked with assessing the erosion threat on state and private lands impacted by the Carlton Complex Fire. Given the size and severity of the Carlton Complex fires on Washington State and private lands, the Okanogan Conservation District asked Governor Inslee to include a request for a multi-jurisdiction assessment team for the Washington State and private lands.

After President Obama signed

the Disaster Declaration on Aug. 11, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) began coordinating with the Okanogan Conservation District and the Forest Service to staff the Interagency BAER team. The team worked in coordination with the Forest Service BAER Teams that evaluated the impacts to US Forest Service lands in order to create a seamless evaluation of all lands burned in the Carlton Complex Fire.

Monday’s meeting will explain the process used by the Interagency BAER team, the conditions the team documented on the land within the burn area, and the recommended actions to reduce risk of additional loss of life and property from rainfall and snowmelt on the landscape. The complete report of the Interagency BAER Team is available at www.okanogancd. org/Carlton Agencies participating in this process include the Federal Emergency Management Agency,

U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Weather Service, Washington Department of Agriculture, National Resource Conservation Service, Farm Service Agency, Bureau of Reclamation, Yakama Nation, Washington Department of Natural Resources, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Okanogan, Spokane, Kittitas, Skagit, Underwood, Cascadia and Whatcom Conservation Districts, County Government and others.

The mission of the Okanogan Conservation District is to help cooperators achieve their conservation goals. The Okanogan Conservation District is a local governmental entity formed as a sub-division of Washington State under RCW 89.08. We provide voluntary, non-regulatory services to landowners and lessees in Okanogan County to address natural resource concerns. All District services are provided free of charge without discrimination.

the staff to do things, those fees need to rise along with what we pay staff to do them.

“If we don’t have interest in it, I don’t want to do it. But it’s a way to fairly increase revenues to balance expenses.”

Plumb said he would include that as part of his budget proposal.

He also asked Attwood to look into whether $500 was a hard limit on fines for violating city ordinances, or if that something the city could change.

“The $500 limit has been in place for as long as I can remember,” Plumb said. “I don’t think it’s the same kind of deterrent that it used to be. We should look at that rate too; people that are not following our ordinances might need to be a little more motivated.”

FLOOD PLAIN REGULATIONS After a separate public hearing, the council approved revised language that brings its flood hazard code in line with state and federal mandates.

“FEMA, through the Department of Ecology, reviews all flood hazard ordinances throughout the state to ensure consistency with the state regulations,” said permit administrator Christian Johnson. “The state has imposed itself as the supreme authority on flood management for flood insurance purposes.

How the state has chosen to implement that is by having local jurisdictions adopt rules that are consistent, or not less restrictive, than the state’s.”

These affect both city management and insurance issues.

The changes in the current regulation were mostly to provide clarity, but Johnson pointed out one change “It did provide provisions for non-farm houses in the flood way,” Johnson said. “Before we had no allowance for houses in the flood way that was not a farm house on a farm. Now, there is a process where an owner, for reconstruction, can request of the city, and the city can seek concurrence with Ecology for that.

“There is a difference between farm houses and non-farm houses because they are in different parts of the statues ... if they are on active farms.”

“My only concern was the impact on homeowners in the

different flood plains,” Olson said. “Does this take away anything they can currently do?”

“Currently with our current regulations, if a home was to be substantially damaged (in a flood plain), they would be prohibited from rebuilding,” Johnson said.

“With the inclusion of this language, there is a process where they would have the opportunity to rebuild or replace a substantially damaged house that is already in the flood plain.”

Olson asked if that process would be an expensive or onerous one to a homeowner.

“It requires a lot of planning,” Johnson said, citing examples such as raising the level of the ground floor. “It is a lot more technical than a normal residential construction... There are additional costs and less options (on foundation design). So it’s more expensive.”

The council unanimously approved the modified regulations (council member Jill Vugteveen was absence - excused - from the meeting).

MAYOR’S CHALLENGE To celebrate the renewal of the football rivalry between Tonasket and Oroville high schools on Oct. 10, Plumb read a proclamation that included a challenge to Oroville Mayor Chuck Spieth.

“The mayor challenges the Oroville mayor to a friendly wager of two boxes of apples from respective companies that are in their cities to the winning football team’s city,” he read as part of the proclamation. If accepted, the winning mayor would also receive a brass bell donated by the Gazette-Tribune, representing the traditional Oroville-Tonasket “Bell Game,” to be housed in the winning city’s City Hall for the year.

REPORTS • Olson discussed a meeting with representatives of the U.S. Armed Forces Legacy park that included he, Plumb, City Planner Kurt Danison and an engineer from Varela and Associates that he said went better than he had anticipated.

The meeting was set up to discuss the upcoming combination project that will build a new sidewalk on Whitcomb Avenue from Sixth Street in town all the way to the park, including a pedestrian

bridge across Bonaparte Creek.

That will end the necessity of having to cross the creek on the busy US-97 bridge, which only has a narrow shoulder for pedestrians to use.

“I was expecting a committee of seven,” Olson said. “There were easily 20 plus people. It was a very positive reaction from the Legacy group. Their support, the ideas were wonderful.

“Varela did a nice job of laying things out. I look forward to the way it’s moving forward.”

He added that he was also pleased with the willingness of the two affected businesses on that route, Shannon’s and Whistler’s restaurants, to participate.

• Police Chief Rob Burks said that the city of Liberty Lake is going to donate a two used police cars to Tonasket.

“They got the OK to get some new cars,” Burks said. “They’re going to give us two Crown Vics, 2008, 80,000 or less miles, fully decked out except for radio. They even said they would put new tires on them before sending them.

“They felt sorry for us. We’ll find out for sure what’s going on in October after they are able to surplus them. They will be better than two of the cars we have right now.”

AUCTION RESULTS Attwood said that the city brought in more than $13,000 at its surplus auction the previous weekend. That included more than $10,500 for items offloaded

by Public Works; $3,000 for three old police cars; and $10 City Hall surplus.

The council next meets on Tuesday, Oct. 14, at 7:00 p.m.

Our Values: Putting people first • Outstanding corporate citizenship • High performance culture • Rigorous financial discipline

Kinross employees - hardworking, dedicated to safety and their community Employees in any profession – be it industry, government, small business, etc. – are an integral part of their organization, if not the most important part. Good employees contribute to a culture of safety and professionalism, a healthy and vibrant community, a positive working atmosphere, the overall dynamic of workplace conditions, and ultimately Brad Wood, Assay Tech the overall success of the establishment.

Kettle River – Buckhorn (KRB) employees are no exception, and in fact are stellar examples of what any enterprise would want in their workforce.

• Buckhorn Mine employees have collectively operated over 1 million man-hours, or nearly 3 years so far, without a lost time incident (LTI), while Kettle River Mill employees have exceeded 8½ years! The safety record of our operation demonstrates our 230 employees’ commitment to the safety of themselves and others every single day. Because our employees are continually demonstrating our company’s first and foremost core value of “putting people first,” we are able to maintain a culture of safety that outshines that of other mining operations, other industries, and many other professions.

To help demonstrate this significant achievement, the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ most recent data shows that in 2012 alone, retail salespersons in service-providing jobs in the United States suffered over 24,000 nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses that resulted in days away from work, or LTIs. For our site to have operated for multiple years without a single LTI is an outstanding accomplishment.

• Our employees have a dedication to our local communities. Over 91% of KRB’s employees live in Okanogan, Ferry, or Stevens Counties, and regularly purchase local goods and services to support their homes and families.

They make a significant positive difference in our local communities by contributing time, money and expertise to local efforts, whether to community programs, educational institutions, or religious organizations.

For instance, employees make annual cash donations, totaling over $100,000 each year, to over 40 local programs. SimiBJ Coffey, Underground Miner larly, they and their families regularly volunteer over 2,000

hours per year, or provide other types of in-kind support, to at least 30 different local organizations.

• KRB employees are extremely dedicated and hardworking.

Many of them work all day at the mine or mill, only to go home and work some more to provide additional value to their Rhonda Willett, Underground communities. Miner Some have farms, ranches, and orchards that provide locally-grown food, while others have talents such as quilting, woodworking, painting, cooking, teaching, fabricating and more. Selling or donating their items and services for local causes provides added value to our region and its residents.

KRB is proud to be able to have such a dynamic and diverse group of employees on our team. Our people look out for each other both on and off the job, to create a truly family-style atmosphere. Special thanks to all of our employees for helping to maintain the KRB culture.

Not only do these apple bins tell a story that apple harvest is in full swing in the valley, but the various names on the bins remind us of the many growers’ cooperatives that once dominated the Oroville economy. Now Appleway and Oro are part of Gold Digger Apples Inc., one of the biggest employers in the area, especially at harvest time.

Thompson teaching kick boxing to those wanting to stay fit THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

OROVILLE – Nathan Thompson, a professional kick boxer and MMA fighter, is putting his knowledge to use training those who want to get in shape at the Oroville Fitness Center, located at at 811 Appleway St. Thompson, a graduate of Oroville High School, has been training in his sport for six years to become a professional athlete. He says kick boxing is a great cardio exercise.

“I’m really flexible and can make adjustments to the program to fit my client’s needs. It’s great for keeping everybody working and

sweating,” he said, adding that he is giving the community a new look at fitness through his program.

Thompson is putting together his classes at Oroville Fitness, but would like to start his own exercise studio some day.

Thompson said he can have classes of six to eight people.

“The goal is to have classes every hour.

“Contact me at 509-5603054 or come on in and we will find a program that works for you,” he said.

Thompson’s next professional fight is scheduled for Nov. 15 at Northern Quest Casino on Spokane.

OKANOGAN - A 15-yearold Brewster boy escaped from the Juvenile Detention Center in Okanogan on Monday, Sept. 22, and was on the loose for about 10 hours before being re-apprehended, according to the Okanogan County Sheriff ’s Offfice.

At around 1:35 p.m. the Juvenile Detention Center reported that they just had an escape from their facility. The 15-year-old suspect was being led to the court in the Juvenile Center when he pulled away from one of the Juvenile staff before he could handcuff him. He ran down the stairs and was able to exit the building.

Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said that Juvenile staff chased the suspect towards town but lost sight of him as he was running towards the Okanogan Chevron on Main Street. A search of the area was done by several law enforcement officers in the area but they were unable to locate him.

Rogers said that dispatch received a call from an Okanogan Postal Employee that she was getting into her vehicle when the

suspect came up to the vehicle and attempted to get in on the other side, offering to pay her $500. She refused and the suspect ran off.

Rogers said that Dispatch received a call at about 6:15 p.m. from an employee at the Okanogan Pharmacy who reported that she had gone out to her vehicle to leave and a 15 or 16 year old Hispanic male was hiding in her vehicle. He had a green shirt over his face and told her he would hurt her if she didn’t drive him to the casino.

That suspect was later identified to be the escapee, Rogers said.

The employee drove towards the Sheriff ’s Office and as she pulled into the church parking lot the suspect jumped out of the vehicle and ran down towards the Okanogan High School.

Deputies continued their search and at around 11:00 p.m. they received a report of a black Chevrolet Tahoe driving back and forth from the Casino and the Okanogan Inn. Deputies went to the Okanogan Inn and found the vehicle. Rogers said they

received permission to search the room but did not find the suspect there. The owner of the vehicle then gave Deputies permission to search her vehicle and when they did they located the suspect hiding on the floor in the back seat. He resisted arrest but was taken into custody.

Deputies learned that the owner of the vehicle did not know anyone was in it. Apparently the owner’s daughter had gone out and met with the suspect and brought him back to the apartment and let him hide in the vehicle.

The suspect was arrested and transported back to Juvenile and booked. Rogers said he will be facing additional charges for the escape and possible charges for threatening the driver at the Okanogan Pharmacy.

Also arrested at the scene was the owner’s daughter, a 16-yearold Okanogan girl who said she had helped the suspect and let him hide in the vehicle. She was arrested for Rendering Criminal Assistance 2nd Degree. She was also transported to Juvenile and booked.

THE TOWN CRIER Selecting a new police chief is critical to a community It’s surprising how quiet it has been in Oroville and Tonasket the last few years – no major controversies between the police department, the council or the public. In Oroville, much of the credit for that goes to Clay Warnstaff who has been chief of police since being appointed by the mayor in 2008, and in Tonasket to Chief Rob Burks.

In the past Oroville has had temporary chiefs, who didn’t really seem to want to be chiefs and chiefs that seemed to generate controversy and an “us versus them” attitude.

In Tonasket one of the first stories I covered 27 years ago required a trip down to Okanogan to get a comment from a former police chief who had been on trial for misdeeds. Talk about being thrown into the fire – I knew nothing about him and expected him to tell me to take a hike (or worse).

Fortunately for me he was ready and willing to make a few comments and made things a lot easier on a green reporter. Then, again in Tonasket, at one time it seemed like the then chief was more concerned about amassing SWAT gear than good old-fashioned community policing. This chief was well before his time – buying up surplus military gear for his police Out of department.

My Mind Nowadays it seems like the big municipal Gary A. DeVon forces can’t get enough surplus military gear. In some cities the line between the police force and a paramilitary seems to be getting blurred, especially in those big municipal police forces. But for Tonasket back then and today it didn’t seem necessary for doing the community policing most of us expect from our rural police departments.

Clay and his predecessor, the late Randy Wheat, seemed to get the job done without all the added drama. Clay is retiring (how did that happen, didn’t we graduate the same class? Oh right, he already retired from the Marines).

Oroville now has the task of finding a new chief, someone who will bring the same steady hand, while keeping his/her sense of humor.

While I think Clay was popular in the community and fair, I’m sure not everyone liked him – especially those who tried to break the law.

That’s bound to happen in a certain jobs (ask me about it). One where you enforce the law would be especially hard – but it’s not a popularity contest.

Let’s hope that whomever Oroville’s mayor chooses for its next chief will bring some of the same qualities shown by our retiring chief and that we can continue to have a relatively quiet and safe community to live in.

Even though controversy sells newspapers, just ask some of the former Oroville and Tonasket mayors who used to tell me that all the time. We would truly rather not sit through council meetings where arguing about the police department takes up most of the meeting and accomplishes nothing.

THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF OROVILLE & TONASKET

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Destination Sales Tax, modification Dear Editor, On July 1, 2008, the destination sales tax went into effect. The destination sales tax was set up so, if a retailer (seller) sold something (purchaser), and the item(s) was to be delivered to the purchaser in a different city or county, the retailer would charge the sales tax applicable to the delivered city/county and then pay that sales tax to that city/county.

If the purchaser was to take the item(s) with them (not have it delivered by a third party), then the sales tax would be determined by the tax applicable to the location of the seller

and the sales tax would be paid to the seller’s city/county.

This distribution of the sales tax to the destination city/county was long overdue, but it fell short of what should have been in the law.

Since each transaction has a buyer and a seller, both of whom bring benefits to the transaction, why is 100% of the sales tax being paid to the destination city/county, when the selling city/county is an equal party to the transaction, but the selling city/county receives none of the applicable sales tax. Right now the destination city/county gets 100% of the sales tax and the selling city/county gets 0%. Is it not more equitable for both the purchasing city/county and the selling city/county to split the sales tax equally, 50/50.

Splitting the sales tax 50/50, as to the purchaser and the seller locations, can easily be accomplished today with computers that are doing the work anyway. We all have 9 digit zip codes for our street, city/county address.

(It is on our driver’s license.) I suggest the Washington State Senate and/or House, make this modification to the sales tax distribution without any delay, so that all of the parties, the purchasing city/county and the selling city/county, to the transaction get an equal and equitable share of the sales tax. The sales tax charged should be based upon the seller’s location, to keep it simple.

Public power at work

OPINION BY STEVE HUSTON, PRESIDENT; ERNIE BOLTZ, VICE PRESIDENT; DAVID WOMACH, SECRETARY

COMMISSIONERS, PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 OF OKANOGAN COUNTY

The Carlton Complex Fire, burning more than 256,000 acres (400 square miles) of land and destroying approximately 300 homes, was the worst firestorm in Washington State history. For Okanogan PUD, the fire destroyed 341 miles of distribution infrastructure, 60 miles of fiber and 22 miles of transmission infrastructure. Power outages in the south end of Okanogan included the towns of Pateros, Twisp, Winthrop and surrounding areas. Approximately 3,600 Okanogan PUD customers and 3,500 Okanogan Electric

Cooperative customers were without power.

Clearly, this was one of the worst disasters to ever hit Okanogan County.

During the first six days, Okanogan County PUD line crews and support personnel, along with line crews from Chelan PUD, Douglas PUD, Ferry PUD, Grant PUD and BPA, reconstructed 12 miles of transmission line and about 100 miles of distribution line in order to restore power to approximately 80 percent of the customers affected by the outage. During the following two weeks, through excellent coordination and the unwavering sense of urgency of all PUD line crews and support personnel, the remaining distribution facilities were reconstructed and power was restored to everyone affected by the outage. Virtually 100 percent of Okanogan PUD employees and 45 employees from our

neighboring Public Power Utilities worked tirelessly to make sure power was restored as fast and as safely as possible.

This is Public Power at Work. The commitment to serve, and the dedication and spirit that brought electricity to our farms and rural communities in the 1930s, is alive and well in 2014.

It is that same commitment, dedication and spirit that we see demonstrated not just in emergencies but on a daily basis within Okanogan County PUD, and those same values being shared by our neighboring PUDs, that make us proud to be a PUD commissioner. October 6th – 10th is Public Power Week.

Please take a moment and reflect on what our lives would be without electricity. Life in Okanogan County is truly better because we are served by Public Power.

Why I admire Muslims OPINION BY WILLIAM SLUSHER

SOCIOPOLITICAL COMMENTATOR

Ayaan Hirsi Ali said in a recent speech at Yale that criticism of Islam is not Islamophobia, fear of criticizing Islam is Islamophobia. She’s dead right.

Ms. Ali should know. She was genitally mutilated and child-married as a young Muslim girl. She endures Muslim death threats. The predatory Muslim/American lobby intimidated disgraceful Brandeis University into revoking her honorary degree for daring to be critical of Islam.

Spare me the springloaded ‘peace loving Muslims’ speech. Yea they are many, but nay they’re evidently not enough in Bill Slusher percentage to make any comprehensive hard stand against murderous Muslim terrorist elements. If the ‘nice Muslims’ were so prevalent and dedicated they would have neutralized their terror traders long ago, just as mostly Christian Americans did the Ku Klux Klan.

A friend for decades is the grandson of a revered Palestinian leader who fought the British through Partition. Oxford educated and American now, he nonetheless personifies the semi-humorous bromide: Radical Muslims want to kill infidels. Moderate Muslims want radical Muslims to kill infidels. Even my refined friend says Palestinians will out-populate Israelis and force them from Palestine.

Where the Jews will be forced to is not clear. Or perhaps, in a macabre sense, it is.

Still, I don’t ‘hate’ Muslims, I even admire aspects of them. Indeed... there is much we can learn from them. Witness: Muslims know exactly what they want (Allah-mandated world domination under their theo-political aegis), and they are groupcommitted to achieving that if they have to kill everyone else. Ask them. They’ve been

attempting to do so for at least the last 50 years. Any list of terrorist mass murder incidents in the last half century is smothered with anti-western Muslim perpetrators.

Too many Muslims maintain that their god mandates the extermination of anyone not equally blind loyal to that god, moreover that their god will perpetually reward they who kill ‘infidels’. Infidels, here, means everyone who isn’t diving onto a prayer rug five times a day. Too great a preponderance of Muslims will happily kill millions of infidels out of their ignorant religious bigotry. Call it retroactive ideological abortion, for there is little difference in either theme nor scale.

Still... don’t underestimate Muslims just because masses of them are propagandized from birth to be mindless, unthinking Allahzombies. While they train their children who their perceived enemy is without doubt, we train ours to be piously tolerant of those who are trying to kill us. How’s that likely to end?

While whole nations of Muslims teach their young to fight, we pretend political religious gospel about sensitivity. As a PC-whipped America, we teach that training our youth in skill with guns is somehow bad. They’re teaching their kids AK-47 handling, and we’re teaching ours that a grammar school boy who makes a finger gun must be vilified, criminalized and thrown out of school.

What... indefensible... ignorance and bigotry on... both... sides.

We fuss about ‘bullies’ and try at every turn to de-masculate America, to reduce it to some assertiveness-void, fairy-tale PC kindergarten where all women, minorities, LGTBs, animals, vegetables and anyone else are not ‘offended’ according to whatever shifting arbitrary standard as may move them.

Muslims teach their group young to prevail in what they believe, while our PC public education system preposterously teaches ours not to be ‘judgmental,, that no one is wrong, everyone’s a winner. As a society, we too have been brainwashed for 50 years, but in the deadly, corrosive, corrupting and toxic

religion of political correctness. We have as a society been psychologically child-abused for decades (mostly by sheltered academic noncombatants) to pretend away the core reality that the capacity for and select exercise of superior force is the final arbiter of all things.

Muslims... nyeh... they’re not so confused.

Love ‘em or loathe ‘em, Muslims know there is a cultural war underway on the planet Earth, virulent, aggressive Islam vs. naive infidels, and never the twain shall meet as Allah forbids same. Muslims are in the fight to win one for their Gipper, whatever that takes. As a pampered, protected, political-correctness-brainwashed society... we’ve forgotten what winning means. We’ve deliberately demonized the whole concept, so, of inevitable course, we’re losing, internationally and domestically.

We’re fatally PC-whipped.

We are thus destined to collide with reality the hard way, soon. With our moronic border policies, we will see bombings, kidnappings, mass killings and other Muslim invasion in heartland America. It’s already happening from Boston bombings to an Oklahoma beheading. Many will die before we realize and recover from our destructive political-correctness psychosis, and once again become a constitutional society of un-politically whipped, unambiguous, unapologetic...

Americans.

We can... and we’d bloody well better... make a beginning this November by flushing and replacing every political-correctness ‘mullah’ corrupting our political infrastructure.

That’s not all our elected, but it’s too damned many.

OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE Need to use extra caution where cougars are spotted The calendar says it is officially fall.

Our little weather station says we’ve had about a quarter inch of rain for the month of September and most of it during the three days of light drizzle. I guess it sneaks in during the night.

Cougars are becoming very brave, finding their way into neighborhoods that are filled with children, adults and pets. The latest I know of is the area between the county road and Blackler Road near the Jack Hughes residence, at the former Grace Naggy home. Susan Smith lives in the Naggy house and the cougar had one of her dogs in his mouth and killed it. So, use caution in the neighborhood. The animal will most likely return, in search of more prey.

Beanblossom’s aren’t happy with the deer that have found bountiful food in their pumpkin patch.

We took a day off and went to Coulee Dam to view the laser light show. It is quite changed from the first showings when it was just colored lights on the dam water. Then it was laser lights on a smaller scale and now it is pretty spectacular, with the water even being turned on to make a better background.

We were delighted to receive a phone call from our Brazilian boy, Marco Louback who is in process of making another move back to the Boston area, from Brazil, where he has a business of selling and installing granite counter tops.

A second week of yard sales is about a week-end too much. But I repeat, you meet the nicest folks there. Each year a lot of the workers at the United Methodist Church, say “this is too much work for what we get out of it” and when

Fifth graders enjoy pioneer trail walk and ride SUBMITTED BY MARIANNE KNIGHT HIGHLANDS CORRESPONDENT

Here we are at the beginning of October and fall has settled in (we think). We are still having some beautiful sunny days with cool to cold mornings with fog. Some of the Hilltop trees are turning colors and are truly beautiful. Soon they will all be red, orange and yellow.

The fifth grade classes of Oroville elementary under the guidance of their teachers Kelly King and John Ragsdale met at the old Bartroff Homestead on Nealey Road last Friday. The classes have been studying about the pioneers and the Oregon Trail.

Calendar submission deadline Oct. 12 SUBMITTED BY DARALYN HOLLENBECK PRESIDENT, NCW BLUE STAR MOTHERS

We are currently working on the fifth HOMETOWN SOLDIER CALENDAR! Throughout these six years there has been much military activity and, now, a third war has begun in that time span. It is our hope that this new calendar will buoy and sustain our area’s military families through this marathon of military action.

When businesses in our communities display the calendar, we all celebrate together one of our own throughout the month.

It’s a great way to collectively say “Thank you for your service.” What a huge boost to a family’s morale to know that the community is backing them in spirit.

HILLTOP COMMENTS to the walk to Lost Lake. The students were dressed as pioneers wearing clothes made by Mary Ann May, formally of Oroville, now living in Vancouver. It was quite a sight.

The horses were hooked up to the covered wagon with Wagon Master, Don Super of the Methow Valley in charge. Laura Super was on horseback escorting the wagon along with Richard, who was dressed like a Union Soldier.

The 37 students were divided into groups with some walking and others riding in the wagon. At the Homestead, now owned by David and Maria Covarrubius, the students were given a drink , provided by David and Maria.

An airman says “It’s nice to know you’re thought of while you’re away and it’s interesting to see what other people we grew up with are up to. They’re doing some pretty cool stuff.”

OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE HONORING THE FALLEN

OVOC season getting underway

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

OMAK - The Okanogan Valley Orchestra and Chorus is ramping up its 2014-15 season as the date for its first fall concert draws near.

The community-based group has already begun rehearsing for the year, but OVOC President Karen Schimpf said those interested in either orchestra or chorus are free to join at any time.

“OVOC provides an opportunity to perform,” Schimpf said.

“There are no auditions required for orchestra or chorus, which a lot of people don’t realize.”

OVOC’s mission is to present fine music to county residents, provide opportunities for county musicians to perform, and to promote music education and appreciation.

The Season Premier concert is Sunday, Oct. 19, 3:00 p.m. at the Omak Performing Arts Center (PAC) at Omak High School, 20 South Cedar Street.

Other concerts include the Christmas concert on Dec. 7, the Family concert on Feb. 8 and the Spring concert on Mar. 22.

Rehearsals for those interested in performing are ongoing. Orchestra rehearsals are on Mondays at 7:15 p.m., with Jonathan McBride conducting.

Chorus rehearsals are at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, conducted by Don Pearce.

All meet in the Omak High School band room.

STAGE WORK The OVOC’s largest production is its annual spring musical.

This year’s play, scheduled for May, is “Into the Woods.” A film version of the story stars Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep.

“We’re tying it into a fundraiser if we pull it together the way we want to,” Schimpf said. “It’s basically a fairy tale, and uses fairy tales. It shows the dark side of things, more true to the original than to a Disney-type film.

“It’s about people, their frailties, imperfections, meanness, and kindness.”

She said it is more demanding than most past musicals have been.

“We won’t be using an orchestra for this one,” Schimpf said.

“We’ll be using a combo within the set; the set will actually extend into what’s been the orchestra pit.”

Auditions will take place in November.

The OVOC will again sponsor a production of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” at the Community Cultural Center of

Tonasket on Saturday, Oct. 25.

“There will be audience participation, so we hope that lots of people will come ... dressed up,” Schimpf said. “And of course we have our costume rental at the Courtyard (28 Main Street, Omak) with Susan Graves every Wednesday.

“She’ll be there the week before Halloween.”

DONORS Ticket prices, which haven’t been raised since 1999, only cover a portion of the costs of putting shows. The concert series costs about $4,000 per event to put on, while the musicals typically cost in the range of $30,000.

“We really appreciate those who support us,” Schimpf said.

“Our donors and sponsors are very consistent, which is wonderful.”

OVOC has received grants this year from the Okanogan Family Faire, Icicle Fund, Community Foundation, Washington Arts Foundation. Ticket prices are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, $8 for youth and free for children under age 12. They can be purchased online at brownpaperbag.com or at Oroville Pharmacy, Roy’s Pharmacy in Tonasket, Corner Shelf in Omak or Brewster Drug.

The Tonasket Elementary Green Team was honored for earning the school a Level 1 Washington Green School certification, the first Okanogan County school to be so honored. The team included students (front row, l-r) Anthony Salazar, Clay Buchert, Tyler Wirth, Aiden Martinez, Emily Nissan, Leticia Mendoza, Quaid McCormick, (back) Amy Fry of Americorps, teacher adviser Steve Robeck, Sabrina Norrell of VISTA, and teacher adviser/Tonasket School Garden board member Rose Corso.

Tonasket Elementary earns ‘Green School’ cert THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

TONASKET - A group of Tonasket Elementary School students were honored at an allschool assembly on Friday, Sept.

26, for their work that earned the school a Washington Green School certification, the first school in Okanogan County to do so.

The certification is Level 1 for Waste Reduction in the school.

The students formed a “Green Team,” which was made up of six fourth and fifth grade students, one from each classroom.

The students who participated last year are were Clay Buchert, Emily Nissan, Tyler Wirth (now in 6th grade), Quaid McCormick, Leticia Mendoza and Anthony Salazar (now in 5th grade).

The team met during lunch

recess and made some goals to help organize students and inform them of the composting program in the cafeteria known as Garbage to Garden to table.

They also made posters for Earth and Arbor Day Garden activities.

The project goal was to collect organic matter from food waste in the cafeteria that could be composted for the School Garden.

Sabrina Norell, VISTA worker, took over this job which had been initiated by previous VISTA volunteer Maggie Gruscka.

Rose Corso and Maggie attended the Washington Green Schools conference in Spokane in 2012.

The Green Team made signup sheets in each classroom, and students took turns monitoring the food collection. The collected food was weighed and recorded,

then brought up to the garden.

Amy Fry, an AmeriCorps worker, also helped with the certification process, as she and Corso worked to satisfy the requirements, including newspaper coverage and an article for the school newsletter, Pride on the Rise, which helped publicize the project.

Corso served as the required certificated staff, with Steve Robeck as the back-up.

The team had to calculate in cubic feet the amount of school garbage reduced by collecting and “recycling” food waste.

Also connected with this is a display in the library of a sample of the compost made and an explanation of how compost is made.

Norell will be coordinating education of all elementary students this year about compost.

District Overview District 6 abuts the Canadian border in north-central Washington and encompasses 10 Game Management Units: 203 (Pasayten), 204 (Okanogan East), 209 (Wannacut), 215 (Sinlahekin), 218 (Chewuch), 224 (Perrygin), 231 (Gardner), 233 (Pogue), 239 (Chiliwist), and 242 (Alta). The western two-thirds of the district, stretching from the Okanogan River to the Pacific Crest, lies on the east slope of the Cascade Range and is dominated by mountainous terrain that generally gets more rugged as you move from east to west. Vegetation in this portion of the district ranges from desert/shrub-steppe at the lowest elevations through various types of conifer forests, culminating in alpine tundra on the higher peaks that top out at almost 9,000 feet.

More than three-quarters of the land base in this portion of the county is in public ownership, offering extensive hunting access. Game is plentiful and dispersed throughout the area for most of the year, concentrating in the lower elevations in winter when deep snows cover much of the landscape. GMU 204 includes the eastern one-third of the district (from the Okanogan River east to the Okanogan County line) and is moderately rolling terrain, generally rising in elevation as you move east. The vegetation changes from shrub-steppe near the Okanogan River to a mix of tall grass and conifer forest throughout the remainder of the unit. This portion of the district is roughly a 50-50 patchwork of public and private land with the public lands generally being higher in elevation. Again, game is plentiful and dispersed throughout.

WEATHER - Weather in the Okanogan District can be quite variable and capable of changing quickly in the fall. Be prepared for everything from warm, sunny days to the possibility of winter temps and significant snow at higher elevations by the second week of October. WDFW asks that hunters please be respectful of private land and treat land owners and their property the way you would want to be treated if roles were reversed. Agency biologists will be running a biological check and information station at the Red Barn in Winthrop both weekends of the modern firearm general deer season. WDFW encourages hunters to stop and provide data to biologists whether you’ve harvested a deer or not; data collected assists in assessing herd health and shaping population management.

Elk are few and far between in Okanogan County, particularly west of the Okanogan River. In GMU 204, where the majority of the District’s limited harvest occurs, elk are a bit more abundant and on the increase, but still generally occur only in small groups scattered over the landscape, primarily in the Unit’s eastern half. Hunters are reminded that the elk regulations

have changed in GMU 204 to an “any bull” general season harvest instead of the traditional any-elk season.

2013 District 6 Elk Harvest Summary: Elk are scarce in Okanogan County, and District 6 hunters harvested only 17 in 2013, five more than in 2012. Eight of the 17 came from GMU 204, and all but two were taken by modern firearm hunters.

DEER District 6 supports the largest migratory mule deer herd in the state and Okanogan County has long been prized by hunters for its mule deer hunting. Prospects for mule deer look good again this year. Winter fawn survivorship and associated recruitment have been at or above average four of the last five years and hunters can expect to see moderate numbers of younger bucks. Post-season buck ratios in December of 2013 were down somewhat as compared to the previous year; however, the observed ratio of 25 bucks per 100 does is still excellent and should translate into good carryover or older age-class bucks.

During the early general seasons deer will be widely distributed on the landscape and not yet concentrated in migration areas or on winter range.

Mature bucks in particular are often at high elevations in remote locations as long as succulent vegetation is available. In general look for deer taking advantage of the rejuvenated summer forage within recent burns including the 2006 Tripod Fire, as well as other areas holding green forage into the fall. Deer are likely to be particularly attracted to more moist environments this year given the especially hot, dry summer.

In late August, it was noted that if significant fall green-up materialized in this summer’s burn areas, those areas could attract sizeable numbers of deer.

In addition, many areas on private lands adjacent to the fires saw an influx of displaced deer and associated damage. These conditions could make it a good year to seek landowner permission for hunting access in fire affected areas.

During the late permit seasons, the majority of deer will have moved to winter range areas at lower elevations on more southerly slopes. In District 6, WDFW Wildlife Areas and immediately adjacent federal lands are good bets for high deer numbers in late fall, although in low snow years, some mature bucks may linger at higher elevations.

Most of the winter range in Units 239 and 242, and much of the high density winter range in Unit 224, burned in this summer’s fires. Significant changes to deer distribution and abundance in those units was anticipated; however, as of late August, it was still too early to accurately predict specific effects. Late permit hunt changes were being considered for GMUs heavily impacted by the fires. Individual notifications were planned for permit holders if any permit hunt changes were implemented.

For those hunters with second deer permits in Deer areas 2012 -2016, re-

member that those permits are good only on private land. Permit holders are responsible for making contact with private land owners to secure hunting access.

Changes to the geographic scope of Deer area 2012 were being considered in late August as a result of fire impacts to surrounding GMUs. Individual notifications were planned for permit holders if any permit hunt changes were implemented.

Generally speaking, white-tailed deer are significantly less abundant than mule deer west of the Okanogan River but are found in most all drainages up to mid-elevations, particularly those with significant riparian vegetation.

The Sinlahekin Valley and surrounding lands in portions of Unit 215 are the exception, supporting a robust whitetail population.

In this area, many white-tailed deer are found on private lands, so prospective hunters wishing to target white-tailed deer may want to seek permission in advance of the season to access individual ownerships.

The eastern one-third of the district (GMU 204) holds roughly equal numbers of mule and white-tailed deer and both are widely distributed across the unit on both private and public land.

No new regulation changes are on tap for the 2014 general seasons.

As noted above, some significant permit hunt adjustments were being considered in late August to help address issues created by this summer’s wildfires.

2013 District 6 Deer Harvest Summary: General season hunters harvested 2,047 deer from the 10 game management units comprising District 6, down slightly as compared to 2012. Similarly, general season success rates fell a bit for most user groups, but improved modestly for muzzleloaders and ended up as follows: Modern – 14%, Muzzleloader – 25%, Archery – 24%, and Mulit – 21%. Special permit holders harvested 337 deer in District 6, 195 antlerless and 142 bucks.

Modern firearm hunters accounted for about 68 percent of the general season harvest, and archers took about 53% of the total antlerless harvest. As is typical, GMU 204 (the District’s largest unit) yielded the greatest overall deer harvest (648 animals). GMUs 215, 218, 224, and 233 also produced good tallies. These five units combined accounted for 74% of the total number of deer taken in District 6.

BEAR

Black bears are abundant and well distributed throughout District 6. The population and associated harvest appears to be relatively stable, so hunting prospects in the district should be good. Bears will likely be widely distributed on the landscape and keying in on local berry concentrations where available. This means they will be shifting up in elevation and into moister areas as the season progresses. Berry fields at higher elevations towards the Pacific Crest will ripen latest but will probably peak early this year (possibly starting as early as late August) due to the hot dry weather.

The late August fires likely made bears scarce in the affected areas since natural food availability was extremely limited in those locations.

For hunters pursuing black bear in the northern Cascades, it is critical for you to positively identify the bear species, as endangered grizzly bears potentially also inhabit these areas.

WDFW have posted on their website some interactive training materials from BeBearAware.org to help you tell the difference between black and grizzly bears. Go to http://wdfw.wa.gov/ hunting/bear_cougar/bear/ then view the Interactive Bear Identification Program and take the Bear Identification Test.

2013 District 6 Black Bear Harvest Summary: District 6 hunters harvested 103 black bear last season in the Okanogan Bear Management Unit (BMU 5), an 11% decrease from the 2012 tally. Last year, bears pursued robust berry crops throughout the district and harvest was spread accordingly across all GMUs. GMU 204 in the Northeastern BMU again led the way with 42 animals taken.

COUGAR District 6 cougar populations are healthy and well distributed. Cougars follow the deer herds, which means they will be spread across the landscape through late October and then start to concentrate more on lower elevations as deer move to winter range.

Much cougar foraging activity takes place at night, so the best opportunities to spot the cats on the move are at dawn and dusk.

The summer’s fires directly affected deer distribution in the burned areas, which also had an effect on cougar distribution. This occurred particularly as deer began to concentrate for the winter.

In District 6, cougars are now managed by a harvest guideline at the individual GMU level to better promote stable population structure and high quality sustainable harvest. Last season’s harvest fell slightly short of the harvest guideline in most GMUs. As a result, cougar hunting opportunities in District 6 should be good in 201415. Remember that after Jan 1, individual GMUs close on short notice once the harvest guideline has been reached, and hunters are responsible for knowing if a unit is open or closed.

This information is available on the WDFW hotline (1-866-364-4868) or at http://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/cougar/.

2013 District 6 Cougar Harvest Summary: During the first year under the new harvest guideline system, hunters harvested eleven cougars in District 6 during the 2012-13 season, and by design the harvest was distributed across several GMUs.

DUCK AND CANADA GOOSE Overall, waterfowl surveys indicate waterfowl brood production is up modestly in the potholes region of Eastern Washington compared to 2013. Locally, water levels are down due to the hot dry summer and the number of potholes retaining water

HUNTING

SALE!

Now until Oct.11th

Okanogan County during the hunting season will likely be reduced. Overall, however, waterfowl hunting opportunities are mostly dependent on the number of migrants coming from Canada and Alaska and how long water remains ice-free throughout the district.

The largest concentrations in District 6 occur at the mouth of the Okanogan River and on the Columbia River. The main stem of the Okanogan River and the larger lakes and potholes in the Okanogan Watershed are good secondary sites. Good public access can be found at the Driscoll Island and Sinlahekin Wildlife areas as well as the Similkameen-Chopaka Unit of the Scotch Creek Wildlife Area.

2013 District 6 Waterfowl Harvest Summary: Duck harvest was down 32% in District 6 in 2013, likely due to mild early winter weather up north and extensive ice coverage locally.

Conversely, hunters bagged 1,365 Canada geese in 2013, a 7% increase over the 2012 harvest.

PARTRIDGE (GRAY AND CHUKAR) In general, gray partridge populations are widely distributed and patchy throughout the district’s shrub steppe habitats but appear to be increasing in number and distribution over time.

Birds are seen frequently on the Indian Dan, Chiliwist, and Methow Wildlife Areas. Scattered groups of chukars are found in the steeper rocky areas in lower elevations of District 6. The steep hills along the Similkameen River in the north part of the Okanogan Valley hold good numbers of birds.

More specifically, dramatically reduced harvest and harvest success without a similar magnitude change in hunter numbers suggests gray partridge and chukar productivity fell sharply in 2013. It appears likely that the cold, wet spring resulted in significant chick mortality.

Originally, more moderate weather this spring suggested productivity and associated harvest opportunity would be better in 2014. This is likely still true in areas outside of the summer burns. Unfortunately, the fires consumed a significant portion of the district’s partridge habitat and bird numbers in those areas will likely be spotty and greatly reduced as a result.

2013 District 6 Partridge Harvest Summary: Compared to 2012, both chukar and gray partridge harvest decreased significantly in District 6 last year. Hunters harvested only 137 chukar (a 90% decrease). Similarly, gray partridge declined by 74% with only 370 birds taken.Hunting Season

FOREST GROUSE The Okanogan supports strong populations of ruffed, dusky (blue), and spruce grouse, which are found throughout the forested areas of the district. Ruffed grouse are generally associated with deciduous tree cover at lower to middle elevations, particularly in riparian habitats. Dusky (blue) grouse are found in the mid to upper elevation conifer forests, often on ridge tops. Spruce grouse are located in higher elevation conifer forests

throughout the district.

Dusky (blue) and Spruce grouse populations continue to remain below historical norms within the boundaries of recent wildfires including the massive 175,000-acre Tripod Fire, which burned in 2006 in some of the Districts best forest grouse habitat.

Grouse habitat within the burns is improving annually, and bird numbers outside of burned areas appear to be relatively stable.

Prior to the fires over the summer, we anticipated generally favorable opportunities for Forest Grouse and harvest success rates similar to last year. As a result of the fires, areas adjacent to and outside of this year’s burn perimeters may see an influx of birds. Conversely, areas within the burns likely have very few birds, although sizeable unburned islands surrounded by charred ground could potentially hold locally concentrated populations. In addition, if significant fall green-up presents itself, some birds may return to burned areas to take advantage of sprouting shoots and buds. The best bets for hunting are likely to be USFS lands throughout the district, as well as forested portions of the Sinlahekin and Methow Wildlife Areas outside of this year’s burn perimeters. In the long-term, the extensive burning at lower elevations may well enhance grouse production in the spring of coming seasons; however, the additional loss of winter habitat at middle and upper elevations may decrease over-winter carrying capacity.

2013 District 6 Forest Grouse Harvest Summary: Despite the lingering effects of recent wild fires, sprawling Okanogan County remained the top forest grouse producer in Washington last year, yielding a mixed harvest of 7,017 dusky, ruffed, and spruce grouse.

While impressive, that number represents an 8-percent decline from 2012 and a 45-percent drop from the fiveyear average harvest average; however, much of the decline can be attributed to reduced hunter participation.

be attributed to a reduced number of released birds.

Pheasants occur at low densities and in a patchy distribution throughout the Okanogan Watershed portion of District 6, with most wild production coming from private land. Hunters should seek permission in advance of the season to access private land.

Game farm-produced roosters will once again be released in the district; however, the Chiliwist release site will not be used this year due to the effects of this summer’s fire at that location.

All releases will occur at the traditional Kline and Hegdahl release sites this fall.

These sites are mapped on the Go Hunt website. Hunters are reminded that nontoxic shot is required for ALL upland bird hunting on ALL pheasant release sites STATEWIDE. 2013 District 6 Pheasant Harvest Summary: Hunters bagged 520 pheasants last year in Okanogan County, a drop of almost 50% as compared to 2012 and the current fiveyear average. Most of this decline can

MOURNING DOVE

PHEASANT

QUAIL Harvest data suggest Quail numbers may be down a bit compared to long-term averages. However, birds are numerous and widespread in Okanogan County, which remains a good choice for hunters pursuing this species. Quail can be found in the shrub-steppe habitats at lower elevations throughout the district.

The Indian Dan, Chiliwist, and the Sinlahekin Wildlife Areas are traditionally good places to start.

In general for this season, a mild winter and more favorable spring conditions had set the stage for improved quail prospects as compared to 2013. That may still be true outside of the late August burn areas; however, the fires blackened a significant portion of the district’s quail habitat, including virtually all of the Chiliwist and Indian Dan Canyon portions of the wildlife areas.

2013 District 6 Quail Harvest Summary: Quail harvest dipped slightly from the 2012 tally and is down 18% from the five-year average. Even so, District 6 hunters still bagged about 6,500 birds in 2013.

WILD TURKEY Turkeys are found in scattered groups throughout the district and often concentrate on private land near agriculture areas. Prospective hunters should seek permission in advance of the season to access private land. The fall turkey permit season occurs within GMUs 218231 and 242, with the majority of the birds being located in the latter two units. In recent years, winter conditions and declines in supplemental feeding by private individuals have reduced turkey numbers substantially in the Methow Valley, although most lower-elevation drainages in Unit 242 still harbor birds.

The late August fires likely pushed turkeys out of the lower elevations in the SE portion GMU 242 and the southern portion of GMU 224.

The 2013 dove call count surveys tallied bird numbers similar to last year, with overall numbers still down slightly from the 10-year survey average. Look for doves in planted food crops in the Sinlahekin and at lower elevations on other public land. Hunting success will depend on warm weather keeping the birds in the area through the season.

Much of the dove habitat on the Methow Wildlife Area, as well as the Chiliwist and Indian Dan Canyon Wildlife Area Units, were heavily burned, significantly reducing dove harvest opportunities in District 6 for this season.

2013 District 6 Dove Harvest Summary: Similar to other shrubsteppe upland game birds, dove harvest decreased 19% as compared to 2012, and remained 28% below the five-year average harvest in the district.

Last year I sold all of my possessions and refinanced my house to make the trip to the clinic that saved my life. When I arrived I was barely 90 lbs and unable to care for myself. I was in so much pain every day, I was just wishing it would end. The Hansa Clinic in Kansas was my last chance and God opened the doors for me to get there. Since my treatment one year ago, I have returned to being able to care for myself, my family, work very light duty and drive short distances. It is my goal to regain my life and I continue to pursue the treatment that may restore all my abilities to function and live pain free. I have faith that it will happen! Over the next few weeks you can support my cause by buying desserts and whole prime rib roasts from Bonaparte Lake Resort. If you have never tasted either, be sure to ask for a “free� sample! All funds raised in excess of the remaining funds I need to attend the clinic, will be donated to other Lyme disease warriors who battle this hideous disease daily and go to raising awareness. Yep, it happened right here in Okanogan County! – Faithful to get better, Heather Cruz

SPORTS Playoffs take shape

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

Just out of reach ‘Game of the Week’ lives up to billing, but red zone woes scuttle Tigers

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

RENTON - The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association released its state tournament allocations after its Sept. 21-22 executive committee meeting.

Most of them, anyway.

Area Class 1B/2B cross country teams won’t know how many spots are available for the state finals until sometime in October.

In other sports, coaches and athletes now know where they need to finish in league and district competition in order to be eligible for the post-season.

FOOTBALL The Central Washington 2B League, which is divided into north (eight teams) and south (six) divisions, will garner a total of four out of the 16 state tournament spots. (District 6 - which includes Tonasket and Oroville - and District 5 get a total of four spots, and all of those districts’ 2B teams reside in the CWL.) The first round of the playoffs will feature the top four teams in each division playing a crossover game to determine which four teams will advance to state.

Those games, to be played the weekend of Nov. 7-8, will feature matchups of each division’s champion against the opposite division’s fourth place team, as well as games between the second place team from each division against the opposite’s third place team.

GIRLS SOCCER There will be four teams advancing out of the district tournament to the eight-team 1B/2B girls soccer tourney (that will be reduced to three teams next season). That state tournament had been pared down to four teams the past few years due to the overall lack of squads at that level, but with this year’s reclassification, a number of teams have joined the small school ranks (Tonasket, Brewster, Okanogan, Mabton, Warden, to name the CWL newcomers).

The CWL doesn’t include its southern members in soccer as Mabton and Warden are playing in the 1A SCAC during the regular season.

But in the post-season, the district tournament will include the top five of eight District 6 (CWL) teams, both District 5 squads (Mabton and Warden) and St. George’s School (the lone District 7 team). The top three CWL (north) teams will get home games in the all-important loserout opening round of the tournament, as will the top District 5 (south) team.

The district championship and third place games will be played at the Wenatchee Bowl on Saturday, Nov. 8. The four state qualifiers will advance to the eight-team state tourney, with the final four being played in Sumner, Nov. 21-22.

VOLLEYBALL Volleyball will feature eight district playoff teams vying for four spots in the 16-team state tournament.

The top four teams in the eight-team North Division get automatic bids to the district tournament, while the top three teams from the six-team south also get in.

The tournament, which will be played on Saturday, Nov. 1 and Saturday, Nov. 8, will open with a pigtail (play-in) game between the North’s fifth-place team and the South’s fourth place finisher to determine the final district qualifier.

The four survivors will advance to the state finals in Yakima, Nov. 14-15.

CROSS COUNTRY Last year, the WIAA didn’t get an accurate accounting of how many 1B/2B schools were going to field complete teams before setting their allocations.

The decision was made to await setting those until October. It appears as though two boys teams and one girls team will advance as a group to the state finals in Pasco, but that could change. The regional meet, which will include 1B and 2B teams from border to border of the central portion of the state, will likely take place in Wenatchee on Saturday, Nov. 1.

TONASKET - There’s a lot more energy on the sidelines and an extra buzz in the stands when a high-stakes league game takes center stage under the Friday night lights.

But there’s also an extra sting when one of those games ends in defeat.

Tonasket football players haven’t experienced the energy around being legitimate playoff contenders since the current squad was still in elementary school. But with the move out of the Caribou Trail League and into the Central Washington 2B League, league games hold a lot more meaning.

The Tigers had their game plan in place and ran it to perfection in the first quarter.

But high-powered Brewster, which came into the game averaging more than 50 points a game, pulled away to a 35-15 victory.

“It’s really enjoyable to see these kids have the opportunity to play in a game billed as the ‘big game’ in our league tonight,” said Tonasket coach Jay Hawkins. “That’s really neat for our guys that they got to experience that.”

With Brewster capable of putting up a lot of points in a hurry - the Bears ran up 83 on Kittitas last week - the Tigers knew they needed to control the ball, limit the Bears’ possessions and take advantage of the opportunities that came their way.

Tonasket did manage to chew up the clock in impressive fashion, including an opening quarter in which they held the ball for 10 of the 12 minutes.

But in four trips inside Brewster’s 20-yard line, Tonasket managed to score just once. While both teams had their way from time to time, the Tigers’ ability finish in the “red zone” was the difference.

“There were multiple times in the red zone that we had opportunities,” Hawkins said. “Hand it to them, too, they made some great plays against us.

“As a coaching staff we need to do a better job with the little things. We had substitution issues, we had some misalignments because we were confused, and that comes down to coaching. We just need to do a little better with our guys.”

The Tigers opened the game with a nine-minute drive, but came up empty after getting to the Brewster 15-yard line after quarterback Colton Leep was sacked on third down, and had a pass into the end zone on fourth down dropped.

But it was Tonasket that scored first, early in the second quarter, on Jorge Juarez’s 13-yard run.

Brewster got its offense untracked in the second quarter, running a no-huddle that kept the Tigers from substituting, and

Chad Edwards pressures Brewster quarterback Timbo Taylor in the third quarter of the Tigers’ 35-15 loss to the Bears on Friday. The play resulted in Jesse Ramon’s interception that denied Brewster a touchdown while the game was still in doubt with the Tigers trailing 20-15. effectively mixing Timbo Taylor’s passing with a two-pronged rushing attack that featured Hayden Bayha and Raf Varelas.

Bayha scored on a 5-yard run that cut the Tonasket lead to 7-6 (the Tigers blocked the extra point). And while Tonasket’s offense isn’t necessarily set up for the big play, it got one anyway: Isaiah Yaussy-Albright broke four tackles en route to a 65-yard scoring run. He also punched in a 2-point conversion run for a 15-6 Tonasket lead.

Brewster answered quickly, finishing a two minute drive with a 13-yard Taylor touchdown run.

The tide turned in the last minutes of the second quarter as the Tigers made their first major mistake, fumbling a punt snap that gave the Bears the ball inside the Tonasket 20.

Three plays and a short Varelas run later, Brewster led 20-15.

Tonasket had two golden opportunities to regain control, finishing in the first half with a seven minute, 70-yard drive and opening the third quarter with a 15-play, 80-yard drive.

But in both cases, a missed block here and a key Brewster defensive play there kept the Tigers off the scoreboard. The

biggest play of the second half was the Bears’ ability to stop Albright short on a 4th-and-goal from the one-yard line.

“There probably aren’t too many times we’re going to get that much yardage and only score 15 points,” Hawkins said. “We definitely made some mistakes, like not getting that punt off. “(Defensively) they condensed things, brought a lot of guys up to the line of scrimmage and made it tougher on our running game. The makeup of our team is not on the edge. We have to figure that

Tigers blank Hornets to stay unbeaten

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - Tonasket’s girls soccer team kept its unbeaten record intact, scoring early and often against Oroville on Thursday, Sept. 25, on the way to an 8-0 victory.

The Tigers scored three goals in the first 10 minutes and led 5-0 at the half.

It was the first game that Oroville had more than 11 players, giving coach Tony Kindred his first chance to substitute players during the game.

Ashlynn Willis scored four goals and assisted on the other four scores to lead the Tigers.

Jaden Vugteveen added two goals and three assists, while Kayla Willis had to goals and 1 assist.

Madison Gariano recorded the shutout without being forced to make a save.

The Tigers (6-0, 5-0 Central Washington League) also picked up a forfeit victory over Manson on Saturday. They host Brewster on Thursday, Oct. 2, and are scheduled to play Manson on Oct. 7, though the Trojans are still struggling to pull together a full team.

Oroville (1-4, 1-4) was also awarded a forfeit win over Manson. The Hornets play at Bridgeport on Thursday and at Entiat on Oct. 7.

TONASKET 4, BRIDGEPORT 0 BRIDGEPORT - Tonasket earned a 4-0 victory at Bridgeport on Tuesday, Sept. 23, as Vugteveen scored a pair of goals. Kayla Willis added one goal, and Ashlynn Willis scored a goal that deflected off a Bridgeport defender.

Maria Abrego made four saves in goal to record the shutout.

Long wait ends for Tigers

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - Victories have been few and far between for the Tonasket volleyball team. But Thursday, Sept. 25, the Tigers ended a long streak for which most of them bore no responsibility, defeating Lake Roosevelt in four sets for their first league victory of any kind since 2008.

It didn’t look like it would be the Tigers’ night at first after an early lead in the opening set vanished in a hurry as LR finished strong for a 25-15 win.

But the Tigers bounced back in the second set, building a 10-point lead and holding on to even things up, 25-19.

From there a more relaxed Tonasket squad controlled the action, especially from the service line, where the Tigers rarely made errors and forced the Raiders into earning every point.

“We had much better serves tonight,” said Tonasket coach Pam Leslie. “That was the kicker.

We’re not a very speedy team, and Lake Roosevelt was about the same. A lot of it came down to serving.”

Setters Taylon Pilkinton and Vanessa Pershing’s sets were well-positioned for Alissa Young, Rachael Sawyer and Alexa Sutton to put down several key kills.

The Tigers built a 17-6 lead in the third set, winning 25-13.

In the fourth set, Tonasket led 15-7 but saw the Raiders score eight straight points to tie it up.

But instead of buckling, Tonasket earned a 25-19 win in the set to clinch the match. Young got the finally rally with four staight serves, Pershing added a block and an ace, and Sutton’s tip over an LR hitter helped finish things

BY BRENT BAKER

OKANOGAN - Central Washington League favorite Okanogan scored three touchdowns in the first 2:30 of play on Friday against visiting Oroville.

It didn’t get much better from there as the Hornets suffered a 71-0 defeat after trailing 57-0 at halftime.

“We knew they were good,” said Oroville coach Tam Hutchinson of Okanogan. “But were they that good? Not really, we just played that poorly.

“The younger kids tried hard, but were making the kind of mistakes that you make when you’re trying too hard. Some of the older kids, though, they might as well not have gotten off the bus.”

The Hornets ran nearly twice as many plays as the Bulldogs -

ALUMNI BATTLE GROUND - Damon Halvorsen (Tonasket 2012) finished 47th out of 70 runners in his first cross country race in two years on Saturday, Sept. 27.

Halvorsen, who finished the 8-kilometer course in 26:56, has battled injuries since enrolling at Spokane Damon Halvorsen C om mu n it y College and is healthy for the first time in his collegiate career.

He finished one second and one spot behind teammate and former Omak distance runner Michael Goble.

Oroville stats vs. Manson: Mikayla Scott 16/18 serving, 1 ace, 2 kills; Andrea Perez 16/16 serving, 2 aces, 3 hits; Monica Herrera 12/13 serving; Rachelle Nutt 3/6 serving, 6 hits, 5 kills, 9 digs; Jessica Galvan 3/5 serving, 3 aces, 2 hits; Sydney Egerton

BRIDGEPORT 3, OROVILLE 0 OROVILLE - Defending league champion Bridgeport defeated the Hornets on Tuesday, Sept. 23, 25-19, 25-22, 25-18.

“We continue to improve,” Hugus said. “Each week is something new we need to work on.”

The Hornets have been coping with injuries, and Hugus said she is hoping the team will be back to full strength soon.

“Next week we should have all our varsity back,” she said. “We have been trying to adjust to different rotations.”

Oroville stats vs. Bridgeport: Monica Herrera 8/10 serving, 2 hits; Andrea Perez 9/10 serving; Rachelle Nutt 4 digs, 9 hits, 1 kill; Mikayla Scott 10 hits, 4 kills, 3 digs; Courtnee Kallstrom 3 digs; Jessica Galvan 2 hits; Sarai Camacho 2 hits.

Freshman leads Oroville XC at Manson Invite

MANSON Freshman Brandon Baugher led the way for the Oroville cross country team at the Manson Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 27.

Baugher finished 17th with a time of 17:28 on the 2.8mile course and was the third freshman to cross the finish line.

Oroville coach Billy Monroe said that the course was about the same length as the Tonasket course and made it obvious how much the Hornets have improved since their first meet of the season.

Tonasket volleyball players (l-r) Vanessa Pershing, Taylon Pilkinton, Kasey Nelson and Allison Glanzer celebrate after the Tigers picked up their first league victory in six years by knocking off Lake Roosevelt last Thursday. off.

Leslie said that not only was it good to bet the proverbial monkey off the team’s back, but was pleased to see the team gaining confidence, especially after a discouraging sweep at the hands of league-leading Okanogan two days earlier.

“This is nice,” she said. “They girls get along well. They don’t get down on each other, but when

the get down on themselves, it’s a problem.”

The Tigers (1-3 overall and in Central Washington League North Division play) host Bridgeport on Thursday and head to Quincy for a tournament on Saturday, Oct. 4.

Tonasket stats vs. LR: Alissa Young 2 kills, 2 aces; Rachael Sawyer 4 kills, 1 block; Taylon Pilkinton 6 aces; Alexa Sutton 4 kills, 2 aces.

Hornets slammed by Okanogan BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

MANSON - Oroville’s volleyball team is still seeking its first victory of the season, and came frustratingly close to picking up that elusive victory on Thursday in a five set loss to Manson.

The Trojans took the match 25-17, 14-25, 25-16, 26-28, 15-8.

“This was a very hard fought contest,” said Oroville coach Nicole Hugus. “We are close, but we really struggled with consistency. We have everyone back this week; we’ll work hard to be a team again.”

The Hornets (0-5, 0-5 Central Washington League) travel to Brewster on Thursday and to Okanogan on Tuesday, Oct. 7.

5/6 serving, 1 ace; Sarai Camacho 4/5 serving, 1 ace, 2 hits; Courtnee Kallstrom, 3/3 serving, 2 hits; Lena Fuchs 2/2 serving, 1 ace; Brittany Minarcin 7 digs.

50-27 - but were outgained 45126, with neither team completing a pass in the contest.

Logan Mills led the Hornets (1-3, 1-1 CWL North) with 33 yards on 16 carries.

Dustin Nigg averaged more than 40 yards on nine punts.

“He boomed a few,” Hutchinson said. “You’re happy with that at the college level. They were really coming after him at the start of the game, and there were a couple of snaps that weren’t so great. He buried them pretty deep a couple of times.”

Hutchinson said that Mills played exceptionally well, especially in defense.

“He was outstanding,” he said.

“They couldn’t do anything with him, and they have some physical guys up front. After awhile they just avoided him altogether.”

Okanogan improved to 4-0

Thank You...

(2-0). Hutchinson said it would be interesting to see Okanogan take on Mt. Baker, which the Hornets played a few weeks ago.

“Okanogan is big and fast, very physical,” he said. “Mt. Baker is more disciplined and polished, more of a machine. It would be a fun to see a game between those two.”

The Hornets host Chelan on Friday, Oct. 3, for their homecoming contest. Hutchinson is hoping for a better effort, regardless of the score.

“I told the guys, there are certain things you can control no matter who you are playing,” he said. “If you get physically beat, that’s one thing. But if you’re not getting into a position to even try, that’s inexcusable. That was the biggest disappointment to me; were weren’t snappy at all. A lot of guys were playing at half speed.”

“Everybody has improved their times by at least two minutes, so the hard work is paying off,” he said.

Other Hornets who ran were Ryan Marcolin (25th, 18:20), Daniel Castrejon (32nd, 19:19), Nahum Garfias (33rd, 19:26), Emmanuel Castrejon (38th, 20:15) and Dakota Haney (47th, 26:41). Baugher, Daniel Castrejon and Marcolin all ran personal bests.

Running for the Oroville girls was Phoebe Poynter (10th, 23:25), a five minute improvement over her Tonasket time.

“Attitudes are good,” Monroe said. “Hopefully we keep improving.”

Tiger girls unbeaten against league foes Boys close gap on Liberty Bell

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

MANSON - Ice cream and foursquare are paying off for the Tonasket cross country teams.

The Tigers turned in another strong outing against Central Washington B League schools on Saturday, Sept. 27, at Manson, with the girls winning the seven team meet and the boys taking second to Liberty Bell.

With a number of new courses being broken in this season, new records are being established at a number of meets. For the second time this year Johnna Terris established a course standard on the 2.8-mile trail, winning the girls race in 19:16.

The girls scored perfect 15 in team scoring. Jenna Valentine was second in 19:27, followed

by Camille Wilson (3rd, 20:21), Katie Henneman (4th, 20:21), Haley Larson (8th, 22:11) and Baillie Hirst (9th, 23:25).

“The girls stayed undefeated

against league schools,” said Tonasket coach Bob Thornton.

“They get stronger and smarter every week and showed their team strength.”

For the boys, Hunter Swanson led the way in 15:28.

Other Tiger finishers included Adrian McCarthy (9th, 16:12), Bryden Hires (12th, 16:53), Abe Podkranic (15th, 17:04), Smith Condon (17:42), Justin McDonald (24th, 17:54), Rade Pilkinton (28th, 18:44), Samuel Strandberg (30th, 18:55) and Adam Halvorsen (40th, 20:40).

“The boys placed second behind Liberty Bell, but are much closer to them than they were last week,” Thornton said. “Hunter was third behind a couple of state veterans.”

The team often plays four square to warm up, and is often rewarded for its efforts with ice cream, which Thornton partially credited for the Tigers’ improvement.

“Plus,” he said, “a lot of hard work is paying off.”

The Tigers travel to Kettle Falls on Saturday, Oct. 4, for Kettle Falls’ Can-Am Invitational.

Brewster scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to pull away.

Despite giving up 35 points, Hawkins said he was pleased overall with the defense, which shut the Bears out in the first and third quarters. “We did a pretty decent job on Cade Smith (who last week had 200 receiving yards),� Hawkins said. “And I thought we forced the into their running game a bit.

They are fairly physical - they’re not wimpy - and they’re not just throwing the ball around.�

Yaussy-Albright finished with 162 yards on 26 carries and Juarez had 100 yards on 15 carries to lead the Tonasket offense.

Bayha rushed for 82 yards and one touchdown and Varelas had 79 yards and three scores on the ground to lead the Bears’ rushing attack, while Taylor completed 11-of-19 for 163 yards and a touchdown.

As the season nears its midpoint, the Tigers (2-2, 1-1 CWL) still have their sights set on at least the third of four available playoff spots, and Hawkins is hoping his team can keep its eye on the big picture. “I am really proud of their effort tonight,� he said. “This is a journey. We want to get to that Week 10 game. All indications are we should. Week by week by week, play by play, we need to stay healthy and get better.�

US Forest Service regulation furor partially, but not entirely, justified

We’ll dispense with the obvious first: the United States Forest Service does not want to charge hikers $1,500 to take family photos, no matter what headline you may have seen lighting Facebook afire last week.

However, a temporary regulation that has been in effect for four years and is on the verge of becoming permanent does pose some issues that I (and many others) believe cross the line of constitutional protections that we all enjoy in this country.

The Forest Service proposed a directive that requires permits for commercial filming in designated wilderness areas. As with most rules proposed by federal agencies, not only was it posted at the Federal Registry for public comment, it sat there for some time mostly unnoticed by the general public, save for a few legislation geeks who spend their free time tracking such things down.

But it also has been in effect for much of that time, and the manner in which it was being enforced caught the eye of a reporter from The Oregonian (out of Portland), which published an article that got much of the controversy rolling.

That article made the rounds

online, and The Seattle Times fol- get processed and buy liability lowed up with another article that insurance before being allowed to detailed what it called “wildly interview a biologist about wolf unequal� enforcement by the reintroduction.

Forest Service.

The intent seems to be to keep While on one hand USFS Chief large filming companies from Tom Tidwell released a state- trampling over protected wilderment that the Forest ness areas. However, Service “remains what is being enforced committed to the goes far beyond that.

A couple of problemsome of his own atic passages from the employees’ actions rule highlight where indicated something this furor is coming else entirely. And if from. you have to release • “A special use perthat kind of statemit is required for all ment, you’re already use of motion picture, in danger of losing videotaping, sound HALF-BAKED recording or other the battle.

And a fee sched• A radio reporter in ule (ranging from hundreds to Yellowstone National Park was $1,500) for wilderness filming forced to purchase a permit, does include a cost for a one-towait weeks for an application to nine person crew.

• “Commercial filming in Congressionally designated Wilderness ... may be allowed if the activity or storyline contributes to the purposes for which Wilderness was established.â€?

First Amendment, anyone? A federal agency setting up a fee schedule for permits, which may then be denied if the storyline doesn’t meet someone’s approval? What happened in Idaho would seem to be in the spirit of this portion of the regulation.

Certainly it is within the letter of that law.

Considering the proliferation of smartphones and their video capability, that could mean just about anyone. • Personal photos and reporters engaged in reporting “breaking newsâ€? were to be exempted.

However, it defines that as any event that “arises suddenly, evolves quickly, and rapidly ceases to be newsworthy.�

It does not say who decides what is newsworthy or for how long. Was the Carlton Complex fire newsworthy for just one day, or is it still newsworthy? Most of what burned was not wilderness, but the USFS could require (or deny) a permit for a journalist wishing to report on mop-up efforts, which would certainly not be considered “breaking news.â€? • Still photography doesn’t seem to concern USFS as much, though it requires a permit if the photography is to “promote or advertise a product or service

using actors, models, sets or props that are not part of the site’s natural or cultural resources or administrative facilities.�

So, what is an actor (a friend pretending to be someone they are not?) What is a prop (trying to sell a lightweight camp stove)?

What is a set?

Photos taken for guide books ‌ would they be regulated under this rule? Is The Gazette-Tribune (indeed a commercial enterprise) subject to a fine because I didn’t request a permit before publishing photos taken last August in the Bitterroot Wilderness of Montana? That area is so illdefined the only real answer is ‌ maybe.

The head of the USFS would say not. Individual rangers may read it differently.

Here’s the kicker for me: while the USFS says its intent is to limit the activities of large production companies in Wilderness areas (which I wholeheartedly agree with), I am trying to figure out how such a company would even operate in the Wilderness while adhering to the same rules that apply to everyone else.

Wilderness areas such as the Pasayten do not allow motor vehicles, boats, hang gliders, bicycles, the landing of aircraft, or the picking up or drop off of materials by helicopter.

It does not allow parties to travel in large groups, as a youth pastor friend of mine discovered a few years back when he was reprimanded for taking a group

of 20 high school students on a hike in the Pasayten.

Large commercial filmmaking, while staying within the guidelines already in place for Wilderness areas, would require hauling everything in by hand or animal, staying in small parties, not using combustion generators, and likely keeping a troupe of actors from rebelling while subsisting on dehydrated camp food.

I joked online about forest rangers showing up in troop transports to raid art shows for images or videos taken that violate the numerous “commercial sale� clauses. A couple of people took that seriously and chided me for overreacting. Fair enough. No jokes on Facebook.

In the end, it doesn’t matter what the intent of the rules are.

It matters how they are written, how they are enforced, and what happens when lawyers get hold of them and stretch them beyond the bounds of rationality.

In an era of ever-decreasing federal government transparency, it’s not a trail the U.S. Forest Service would be wise to travel.
