State panel meets in Republic over Buckhorn mine closure

BY GARY A. DE VON EDITOR@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

REPUBLIC – Lt. Governor Brad Owen headed up a legislative panel in Republic on Thursday, Oct. 9 to discuss “what’s next” as Kinross Gold plans to close the Buckhorn Mountain Gold Mine in 2015.

The mine is reaching the end of its life cycle and is expected to close when its reserves are depleted sometime in late 2015. A separate Kinross operation, the Kettle River Mill, processes ore from the mine. The mill is about 47 miles from the mine near Republic. The closure Lt. Gov. Brad Owen of Buckhorn means the potential loss of about 230 jobs in Ferry and Okanogan County between the two facilities, plus another 130 contractor jobs.

Lt. Gov. Owen gave a short introduction of the members on the Legislative Committee on Economic Development and International Relations followed by a few opening remarks.

“We had a similar situation where I’m from in Shelton in the timber industry and Sen. Hatfield had it in the fishing industry,” said Owen, who served in the legislature before becoming Lt. Governor.

Owen focused on what assistance the state was able to provide in the late 1980s and early 1990s during the decline of the timber

industry in Southwest Washington by passing worker assistance bills and other economic development measures to help displaced loggers and lumber mill workers in timber communities. Owen served in the Senate at the time, representing parts of Mason and Grays Harbor counties.

“I’d like to thank Rep. Shelly Short and Joel Kretz and Sen. Brian Dansel for joining us today and to thank Kinross for helping us out setting up this meeting,” said Owen.

Seventh District Senator Brian Dansel, a former Ferry County Commissioner, made some welcoming remarks.

“I appreciate your efforts,” said Dansel to the panel. “Today is pretty bittersweet. We have a situation in the place where I was born.

The entire economy of Ferry County and North Okanogan County benefits from the Buckhorn mine. It represents not only jobs and revenue to the county, but more.”

Dansel added, “For Ferry County Kinross helps to pay for one sheriff ’s position and miles and miles of roads. After a double levy failure Kinross picked up the cost for all school sports.”

Kinross showed a video about their plans for closure and how they are working to place employees at other company locations and will be offering training to learn other skills in the mining industry.

Mark Ioli, Vice President and General Manager of the Kettle River-Buckhorn Operation, expressed his frustration that Kinross was not able to get the explora-

tion permits from the U.S. Forest Service to expand the current mine, near Chesaw, and to provide more ore to the mill in Republic.

“Ferry and Okanogan County have had more gold extraction if you add it up than Alaska and California combined,” said Ioli.

The Kettle River Operation not only helps with taxes and schools, but with the entire community, according to Ioli. He said mining had played an important part for 150 years in the history and economy of he Northeastern Washington.

“I think we are going to continue to mine here, maybe not right after 2015, but one day,” he said, adding that the mine employs 230 workers and the mill 45. “We will try to keep going in this area as long as possible, because we want to live here too.”

Citing a 2012 study using 2011 data, Kinross puts its direct payroll at $19 million with a total direct and indirect payroll of $27 million in Okanogan and Ferry counties and a payroll of $38 million and a total of 845 jobs statewide. The average wage of a Kettle River –Buckhorn employee is $82,559 a year, surpassing the average Ferry County wage of $35,290 a year by 134 percent. In addition, the mining and milling operation receives goods and services from 354 Washingtonbased businesses.

The lietenant governor asked why Kinross wasn’t moving forward with more exploration. Ioli said that the company had begun

TONASKET - It’s unusual for a government agency to be working ahead of schedule.

Thankfully for North Valley Hospital, Administrator Linda Michel reported at the Thursday, Oct. 9, Board of Commissioners meeting, an early survey by the Department of Health found the hospital ready despite having the agency arrive more than a month ahead of schedule.

“We were ready,” Michel said.

“We had a great survey.”

She said that a number of maintenance issues were noted and that most had already been addressed.

“I was extremely proud because I was in Cle Elum at a meeting (when DOH showed up unannounced),” she said. “This

team took our surveyors and ripped right through the survey.

Tina Smith especially stepped up to the plate for me.

“When they reviewed the closed records - (records for) people who have been discharged - and open records (those still admitted) - they found no nursing documentation out of place. You usually don’t find that and we’re very proud of that.”

POLITICS NVH administrators met with John Culton, a member of Sen. Patty Murray’s administrative staff, who was in Tonasket to visit with various entities last week.

Michel said they discussed a number of issues, but that she stressed to him that inadequate reimbursement rates for Extended Care patients was a top priority that needed to be addressed.

“I think he went away with a good understanding of what

the hospital regarding the dumpster issue, and Cariker said the hospital hoped to address the council at one of the regular City Council meetings.

“We are going to talk to the city council about what we can do.

We’ve asked them for a franchise, like leasing the space from the city. They turned that down at their last meeting so we’ve asked them to look at that again. We also have some Department of Health issues as well, and drainage (depending on location).

“If there has been a long standing grudge, we’re not here to propagate that. We’re here to be good neighbors and work in a partnership and see if we can come up with something mutually agreeable.”

That was at Thursday’s meeting; Friday morning, a car hit one of the dumpsters parked on Western Ave., tipping it over.

As of Monday, the two dumpsters that had been parked against the curb have been moved into a pair of diagonal parking spots in front of the Extended Care on First Street, while the third is next to the portable generator, slightly encroaching onto the sidewalk along Western Ave. “NVH will present a letter asking the council’s permission (for that as a permanent solution),” Cariker said.

Police Chief Rob Burks and North Valley Hospital District CIO Kelly Cariker look over a dumpster that was overturned by a car accident on Friday, Oct. 10. The placement of three hospital dumpsters is an issue that the hospital and the City of Tonasket are trying to resolve. we’re up against sometimes,” Michel said. “I asked that any committees set up in health care in Washington, especially, I wanted to make sure rurals were represented equally to the larger tertiary centers.”

“He asked our permission to call on us to testify to tell our story of being a Critical Access Hospital,” said Business Development Coordinator Terri Orford. “In this community, the school district, the Chamber of Commerce ... if we go away because of the (Affordable Care Act) the impact is not just on health care, but on employment, the industry in this area, enrollment in our schools.

“He got a good understanding of how interconnected we all are in keeping these small communities viable.”

DUMPSTER The city and hospital district appeared by Friday to be inching toward a resolution of the

placement of the hospital’s dumpsters, which have been parked on Western Avenue for the past several months.

The city council has asked that the hospital keep the dumpsters out of the sidewalk right-of-way, as well as off the street.

City Council member Dennis Brown visited with Chief Information Officer Kelly Cariker.

“Apparently it’s been a longstanding issue, which I’ve been unaware of,” Cariker said. “(Brown) stopped by and we toured the entire facility. There wasn’t an overly good place to put them.”

One area, near where the dumpsters had once been stored, was rejected by the garbage company itself.

“The garbage company declined to move the garbage to that area because of risk (to the building),” Cariker said. “They didn’t want the liability.”

The city had written a letter to

ALSO The hospital district continues its slow rise out of warrants, with about $55,000 of cash on hand on Thursday. CFO Helen Verhasselt said before paying off a run of bills the district had as much as $250,000 on hand, and had briefly dipped back into warrants (debt to the county).

The staff gave four more separate classes the next week Arnie Marchand after closing for the season just because a teacher wanted her students to have an opportunity to see and hear about the exhibit.

“This was the most important factor in continuing the exhibit next year. The number of school children that visited our museum. We did outreach to Chelan, Okanogan, and Penticton, B.C. schools giving classes on our exhibit, the Okanagan Indians,” said Marchand.

The requests from other schools were so great that the museum’s Board of Directors decided to continue the exhibit and expand upon it, according to Marchand.

The museum will be including “First Contact” and how the People of the region interacted and the region changed.

“We have had experts from the Enowkin Center from the Penticton Indian Band and the Colville Tribal Museum advise us on how to display our message.

We are going to get help from the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center, Chelan Museum, and the Okanogan Historical Society,” said Marchand.

“This will focus on the region and what happened here after contact was made with the first white people. It will have to do with the transition that took place from about 1810 to the turn of the last century,” said Marchand.

The museum is also getting about 100 pieces of railroad related items, including the original typewriter used a the Depot dating from 1903. The original long bench that sat at the front of the depot, as well as a “speeder” are among the items that the museum will be obtaining. Plans are underway for a display to be built for the

speeder, which is a small motorized car, with trucks, used for maintenance to the track.

Marchand was asked where the railroad related items were coming from.

“When it went from the Great Northern to Burlington Northern a lot of these items were stored... many of them by Dick Wisener,” he said.

In addition to the exhibits, there have been changes in the building, as well. The Historical Society has completed the insulation, electrical, and heating of the out building, where exhibit items not on display can now be stored in a climate controlled environment. The Society has also begun restoration of the kitchen area to transform it into a multi-use area for office, and research area.

In addition, the steps have been

completed and painted.

The Wenatchee Valley College North Campus at Omak and the Society will be presenting a “Magic Lantern Show” in February 2015 as a fund raiser for both organizations. The Omak show will be at the Performing Arts Center and the Oroville show will be at Vicki’s on Main Street.

“These will include about 45 minutes of slides, some that have never been seen before. They will be related to the pioneer photographer Matsura,” said Marchand.

“The Magic Lantern Show will take place on Feb. 6, 7 or 20, 21, it hasn’t been confirmed yet,” he said.

The next meeting of the city council will be Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. in the city council chambers located at 1308 Ironwood.

GOLD MINE | FROM A1 approaching the state and federal government to expand exploration in the area.

“That process took 18 months to do nine drill holes. We’d rather do a whole block,” he said, adding that it costs the company about $3 million annually in the permitting process - something Kinross has decided isn’t worth the cost at this time.

“We just need permission to drill... we have abandoned the federal process and are still exploring at the five to 10 hole level and concentrating on state and private land. The federal process is to cumbersome,” said Ioli.

The bi-partisan study committee heard from presenters from the state Department of Commerce, the Office of Regulatory Innovation and Assistance, the Employment Security Department, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Department of Social and Health Services, as well as Jim Milner, from the Republic Chamber of Commerce.

Milner, who spoke after Owen and Ioli, said there are two reactions to the mine closure – Chicken Little and Ostrich with its head in the sand.

“Some people think that the moment Kinross closes the mine the area is going to die. The other extreme is we’ve survived closures before.... Of course then we had the cattle and timber industries to fall back on,” said Milner.

“It’s going to take significant effort to survive this time,” said Milner, who went on to describe

Two Tonasket area ballot measures put before voters Criminal Justice and EMS levy funds sought

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM Gary DeVon/staff photo

The Legislative Committee on Economic Development and International Relations, as well as Seventh District legislators, met in Republic last Thursday to discuss the economic impact of the 2015 closure of the Buckhorn Gold Mine on Ferry County and North Okanogan County.

Those at the committee table are Rep. Shelly Short, Sen. Bob Hasegawa, Sen. Brian Hatfield, Sen. Randi Becker, Lt. Gov. Brad Owen, Rep. J.T. Wilcox, Rep. Norma Smith, Sen. Brian Dansel and Rep. Joel Kretz..

TONASKET - Tonasket-area voters will have a pair of local ballot measures to decide on during the upcoming Nov. 4 election - one of them specific to city residents, the other involving everyone in the EMS district (which covers the same footprint as the Tonasket School District).

some of the efforts that have been made, including events focused on bringing in tourists, as well as a marketing video for YouTube.

“All of this is pretty much aimed at tourism and small business. We still need industry an to revitalize the three industries we have,” he told the panel. “We are not asking for handouts, but do require partnerships to get the ball rolling.”

Jesus Sanchez, from the Governor’s Office of Regulatory Innovation and Assistance, talked about how the state is making strides in making sure state agencies work together to make regulations work, not to create roadblocks. These kids of agency

roadblocks and delays were something Ioli talked about regarding permits on the federal level.

Sanchez’ duties require his involvement in developing innovative approaches to streamline governmental regulatory processes for retaining and bringing new business into Washington. He said he had the full backing of Governor Jay Inslee and that the office has been successful in streamlining processes for things like getting the new Skagit River Bridge built.

The session was recorded by TVW for later broadcast.

Following the meeting and lunch the legislative committee went on a tour Kinross’s Kettle River facility.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE TAX The City of Tonasket is asking voters to approve an increase of 0.1 percent to the city’s sales and use tax, to take effect April 1, 2015.

One third of that amount is required by law to be dedicated to public safety expenses. The remaining would go into the general fund, which includes police, fire, parks, the airport and administrative costs.

town and the visitors,” Black said.

“As a team, our volunteers are becoming really adept as tourist consultants. My goodness, I feel so honored to work with these people They keep coming back even though I keep giving them homework.”

Highlights this year included the art shows, which gave local artisans the opportunity to sell their works; a new Tonasket brochure; and the growing reputation of the bicycle camp behind the TVBRC building.

“The brochure was wellreceived,” Black said. “James Moore put most of it together and it shows a lot of the small roads in the county. He’s a Buddhist and I’m a maniac, so we worked well together.”

Additionally, she said Martha Gibeaut has been working to significantly upgrade the TVBRC website.

“It’s almost finished and it’s beautiful,” she said.

Art show curator Sue Kramer said that the shows brought in

over $2,000 for local artists.

“We moved a lot of stuff out,” she said. “That’s pretty exciting.

Every year it’s just gotten better and better. We have a lot of amazing talent in this valley.”

Black also coordinated a meeting between directors of the various Okanogan County visitors centers.

“We’re getting a lot of Canadians stepping over for the first time wanting to explore the area,” Black said. “People like to visit different places in the area. If people want to see the Grand Coulee Dam, Winthrop, or Conconully, we want to be able to direct them properly. We are getting a lot of people heading up to Republic or down to (the south end of the county). We learned a lot from each other. It was a good exchange; they’d never had one before.”

The TVBRC will open part time Thursdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., in order for artists to bring in holiday-oriented works to sell.

THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

The city is attempting to cover budget shortfalls from the past few years that have occurred due to stagnant sales tax revenue, while criminal justice fees in particular have been rising.

Sales tax is collected from all customers doing business within the City of Tonasket. Transactions not effected include edible groceries and utilities.

The one tenth of one percent amounts to a $1.00 tax increase per $1,000 spent.

EMERGENCY SERVICES RENEWAL The Tonasket EMS district is running a 10-year levy that will cover about 60 percent of the EMS budget. The current levy is expiring; the new levy will replace expiring levy at the same rate that the old levy was passed.

The levy amounts to 40 cents per $1,000 of assessed property valuation. Annual increases are limited to one percent a year.

“It will renew the levy that allows us to continue our service,” said EMS director Michael Greene. “It’s pretty much and essential part of our budget; I’m really can’t provide reliable ser-

vice without it.”

The EMS district covers an area larger than the size of Rhode Island with three 4-Wheel Drive ambulances, purchased used, and a team of EMTs who are paid $3.00 per hour shift coverage.

Greene added that without the levy, the district could not make up the shortfall by increasing transportation fees.

“Those are capped,” he said. “If we doubled our ambulance rates, Medicare would say, ‘Fine, this is still how much we pay.’ And most insurance follows suit with what Medicare pays.”

Greene said in reviewing former EMS Director Jeff Cravy’s records from the initial levy 10 years ago, he’s found that the district either lived up to or exceeded promises made at that time to the voters.

“They bought the facility, purchased the ambulances, trained local people to do it - even exceeded the commitments we made to the community as far as training and the number of EMTs,” Greene said. “The first time was to start the district. Now, it is to maintain the district.”

Red Cross looking for TVBRC closes after solid year volunteers in Tonasket TVBRC closes after solid year

BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - The Tonasket Visitor and Business Resource Center closed out its 2014 summer season on Wednesday, Oct. 8, with a luncheon to honor the 27 volunteers who kept the center hopping through the area’s busy tourist season.

TVBRC board members Julie Alley, Alice Attwood, Cathy Olson and Black helped serve up lunch for the volunteers while a number of local speakers shared goings-on in their particular spheres of influence.

Volunteer coordinator Linda Black said that while the overall number of visitors was down (1,342, compared to over 1,500 last year), most of that could be attributed to a dip in regional tourism brought about by the Carlton Complex fire.

“It’s a blessing to have this many community members to offer their time and service to the

The American Red Cross in Tonasket needs great people like you to give their time and service, according to Sally Sherwood,with the ARC’s Pacific Northwest Blood Services Region.

“Volunteering with the Red Cross allows you to be part of a life changing mission, share your talents, meet new people, and give back to your own community,” she said.

The Red Cross currently holds about five community blood drives in Tonasket each year Since

2004 the Tonasket community blood drives have collected 1,420 pints of blood; that much blood has the potential to help save over 4,000 lives. The Red Cross often times has others going on too throughout the community and surrounding areas.

“We are in need of people to help us operate our drives and coordinate volunteers. These opportunities range from welcoming, serving, and thanking our blood donors, calling donors and volunteers (this can be done from home!), to arranging volunteers for upcoming drives,” said

Sherwood. “You can decide how often and when you serve. This is a wonderful opportunity for teens to earn school credit, churches and businesses to host a volunteer event, and you to give back to your community.”

Sherwood asks people in the Tonasket area to consider joining a team of over five million volunteers and blood donors worldwide. For more information about volunteer opportunities, contact JayAnn Merkle, Donor Recruitment Representative at (509) 834-2606 or by email at JayAnn.Merkle@redcross.org.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month We have all been touched in some way or know someone who has been affected by breast cancer. Because of this, it is important to offer support to those in every stage of this disease as well as those who are beating the odds and now stand as survivors.

Cancer Survivor’s Tips (NAPS)—While being diagnosed with cancer can make you feel vulnerable, surviving cancer can make you feel invincible. So says Melanie Young, host of the weekly radio show “Fearless Fabulous You� on W4WN, in her book “Getting Things Off My Chest: A Survivor’s Guide to Staying Fearless and Fabulous in the Face of Breast Cancer.�

The 10 things she learned from having cancer are no different from those healthy people should live by, she says.

Understanding Breast Cancer Breast cancer is an issue that extends beyond the month of October, and many people might be surprised to learn of breast cancer’s prevalence. In the United States alone, breast cancer incidence in women is 1 in 8, or roughly 13 percent. In fact, among women in the U.S., breast cancer rates are higher than those of any cancer besides lung cancer.

What Is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells. Any type of cancer is the result of mutations in genes responsible for regulating the growth of cells and keeping them healthy. In a healthy body, the cells replace them-

selves in an orderly fashion, as healthy new cells take over as old ones die out.

When mutations occur, changed cells gain the ability to keep dividing without control or order, producing more similar cells and forming a tumor.

In the case of breast cancer, cancerous cells gradually invade nearby healthy breast tissue and make their way into the underarm lymph nodes, which are small organs that filter out foreign substances in the body. If the cancer reaches the lymph nodes, it then has a pathway into other parts of the body.

Upon diagnosis, a patient will be told what stage of breast cancer they are in, which tells how far the cancer has spread beyond the original tumor.

Is Breast Cancer Hereditary?

According to BreastCancer.org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing reliable, complete and current information about breast cancer, only 5 to 10 percent of cancers are due to an abnormality inherited from a parent. While all breast cancers are caused by a genetic abnormality, roughly 90 percent of breast cancer cases are the result of genetic abnormalities that are a result of the aging process and the wear and tear of everyday life.

Can Breast Cancer Be Prevented?

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is always an ideal approach, but breast cancer is never the fault of the individual. A balanced diet, a lifestyle that includes abstaining from smoking and drinking alcohol in excess and regular exercise are all ways to stay healthy, but none will guarantee a woman or man will not get breast cancer.

* Diet. Many cancers are linked to diet, but studies have yet to show for certain which types of foods increase the risk for breast cancer. In general, it’s good to restrict sources of red meat and other animal fats, such as fats from dairy products. Some studies have shown that eating a lot of red and/or processed meats is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer.

Eating a diet low in fat and rich in fruits and vegetables is often recommended to reduce cancer risk. * Exercise. The American Cancer Society recommends engaging in 45 to 60 minutes of physical exercise 5 or more days per week, as evidence continues to mount that exercise can reduce breast cancer risk. * Alcohol and smoking. Alcohol limits the liver’s ability to control blood levels of estrogen, which can increase risk of breast cancer. Similarly, smoking has been associated with a small increase in breast cancer risk.

BreastCancer.org also notes additional risk factors for breast cancer can include recent oral contraceptive use, stress and anxiety and exposure to estrogen.

While all of the mentioned risk factors are within an individual’s control, there are a host of additional factors beyond a person’s control that can increase risk of breast cancer. These factors include age, family history, personal history, and race among others.

For more info. on breast cancer, visit www.breastcancer.org.

Are There Risk Factors for Breast Cancer?

BreastCancer.org notes that there are factors a woman or man can control that might lessen their risk for breast cancer. Those risks include: * Weight. Post-menopausal women in particular can reduce their risk of breast cancer by maintaining a healthy weight. Fat tissue is the body’s main source of estrogen after menopause, and having more fat tissue means higher estrogen levels, which increases breast cancer risk.

THE TOWN CRIER

What’s next?

Republic and Oroville will feel the effect of mine shut down differently. The ‘boom and bust’ cycle mining can bring to an area has been readily apparent in Republic for years – one could tell just by looking at the number of full or empty businesses on Main Street. That cycle has been a missing component in Oroville’s history at least since the time when gold was first discovered in Washington State - the 1859 gold find near Shanker’s Bend by U.S. Army soldiers doing a boundary survey. It was around that time the town got the dubious monicker of “Rag Town” due to all the tents that served as businesses and homes. That boom lasted until the next big discovery tempted prospectors and they all lit out for richer territory.

Last week there was a meeting in Republic about what will happen now that the Buckhorn Gold Mine is closing in 2015 and gold exploration Out of permits in the area have been delayed so much the U.S. Forest Service that Kinross has all but My Mind by given up on expanding in the area.

Gary A. DeVon While Republic and Ferry County have relied on gold as a big component of the local economy, Oroville, and Okanogan County have relied on fruit production, timber and cattle as the legs of their three-legged stool. Those at the meeting in Republic informed Lt. Governor Brad Owen, state legislators and agency representatives that not only has the federal government made it hard to explore and continue the life of the mine, their agencies have also thrown up roadblocks to the more traditional industries in both counties. When Owen was a state legislator, he and some of his fellow legislators representing rural counties on the west side shared their stories of the rush to enact legislation to help struggling timber communities being regulated out of business in the 1980s and 90s. They said a similar program needed to be done here.

Before the mine, there was talk of boom and bust by opponents and proponents during the 20 some odd years that it took to get the Buckhorn going. Of course like the old saying “it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all,” it’s also better to enjoy the fruits of temporarily good economic times than to flounder endlessly in economic hard times. But, unlike love, with mining, or any resource-based industry – you should always be looking ahead to when or if the good times play out. Make hay while the sun shines, so to speak.

While Oroville and Okanogan County, particularly the school district, benefited most from the property taxes generated by the mine, Ferry County benefited mostly by the jobs the mine and ore mill created – both directly through employment at the mine and mill and through those who contracted with the company. The meeting had more to do with what the Republic area will do now that the mine is closing and not so much what the Oroville area will do. Yes, job and assistance programs through state agencies can benefit the Oroville and the Republic areas alike. Questions about what happens when Kinross isn’t paying as much in property taxes went unasked. Local taxing districts all benefited from the mine with voters more willing to pass double-sized school levies when they knew a rich mining company was going to have to shoulder most of the increase. What happens when that goes away? We still need to collect the same total amount, but the burden will be loaded on to the backs of the remaining property owners. Why did the school district ask for twice as much money? It wasn’t just because it was known the mine would be paying a big share of the increase, it was because the property value went up so much in the district, the schools lost their Levy Equalization money. We were now too well off to need the help. The big question is will we once again be eligible for LE monies again and what hoops the state will make us jump through to get them.

It would be a good thing if we could get the same group to come to a similar meeting in Oroville. This would give Oroville city and school representatives, county commissioners and others who benefited from the boom the mine generated a chance to ask: What’s next?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Remember earlier 9-11 event as well Dear Editor, Recent memories in regards to the World Trade Center bombings are all well and good, and should not be forgotten. However along the lines of “Remember the Alamo”, “Bombing of Pearl Harbor”, etc., there exists an event that also occurred on “9/11” (1857) and should be remembered. It is a bit mysterious as to why no news media even mentions it, because it took place at the direction of a well known American religious zealot that to this day continues to be remembered by his followers.

Yes, the year was 1857. Over 120 American pioneers from Arkansas were headed in a wagon train for California. They were attacked and slaughtered by fellow Americans dressed up as Ute Indians, although later identification would show that most of these “Indians” were in fact white people under direction of the President of the Mormon Church of the time, Brigham Young. Those responsible managed to gain the possession of all firearms of the victims and then confronted those victims point blank and shot them dead, to leave their bodies to lie on the grass and rocks to rot and be consumed by the buzzards, coyotes, and Mother Nature in general, in the American West in southern Utah.

No Mormon leadership has ever apologized for this event. In fact the current Mormon President in Salt lake City refuses to say he is “sorry,” even though he has been asked to, several times. The Mormon Church has built memorials at the site, and on at least one occasion has built rock cairns covering bodies of the victims, with various leaders of the Mormon Church destroying some of those rock cairns as if to say that they are ashamed of the event.

The Mountain Meadow Massacre is clear-

ly shown in our American History annals.

Current Search in Google and other sites on the Internet covers the whole incident quite well. It is quite despicable that no mention is made of it as we remember the events of “9/11” by those in the news media that remind us of such things, and those in scholastic intelligence that should be aware of it “don’t seem to know.”

Sincerely, Donald Thomason Moses Lake, Washington

Didier for U.S. House of Representatives Dear Editor, As we get closer to November, I wanted to take an opportunity to encourage my fellow citizens to support Clint Didier, running for the 4th Congressional District seat.

You might hear Clint’s opponent is “someone we can work with.” When a politician says this, what they really mean is that “we want someone we can control.” Personally, I don’t want someone the political party feels they can manipulate. The party has one agenda: protect their money and control – it’s not

about the citizens. It is the people’s responsibility to direct their representative. Not the party. Clint will stand up on behalf of OUR directives.

You have probably heard Clint’s opponent “is an honest man.” Logic assumes that by stating the opponent is honest, Didier must be dishonest. I know Clint personally. He is honest and forthright –period. He may not be the best public speaker, but he is frank and passionate about his principles. Even though I may not agree with Clint, I have complete trust that he would never manipulate my discretion on an issue.

Finally, ask yourself why so much money is being dumped into a Congressional race between two Republicans in Eastern Washington. On the surface it may seem silly, but there is much at stake for the progressives.

Who is the threat and why? Research who is financially supporting these candidates.

Numbers don’t lie.

Check out Clint’s website to learn more: http://www.didier4congress.org/. Join me in supporting someone who shares Okanogan County’s customs and culture this November.

Sincerely Pamela Leslie Oroville

75 Years Ago: October 6-13, 1939: Although there has been an outbreak of war in Europe, involving Canada and the British Empire, these hostilities will not affect present regulations regarding tourist travel from the United States to Canada. John Kammers, proprietor of John’s Auto Service and local dealer for Pontiac cars, brought the first of the new 1940 Pontiac Silver Streak auto home from Spokane for display in the show room at his garage in Oroville. The bodies of these vehicles are completely new with more room in every direction. Floors are four inches lower, thus making it easier to step into.

Sealed bean headlights and Hi-test safety plate glass are among the most important improvements. The state has been notified that its quarterly quota for enrollment in the Civilian Conservation Corp, will be 1150.

Young boys between the ages of 17 and 23 will be given an opportunity to enroll in the Corp. Enrollment is for a six months period with re-enrollment privileges not to exceed a total of two years. Hugh M. Lawrence, of Tonasket, was an Oroville visitor on Wednesday of this week, in connection with his bus lines. Mr. Lawrence, who now has a bus line in operation from Tonasket to Wilbur via Republic, says that he has started a new line from Omak and Okanogan to Coulee Dam. The Methodist Ladies are holding their annual chicken dinner and bazaar, at the Civic League Building on Saturday, Oct. 7, starting at 11 a.m. and lasting as long as there is anything left to ear and customers to buy it.

For more than 25 years, the month of October has been recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There will be community events throughout Central Washington this month to raise money for, and bring awareness to, the fight against breast cancer.

While the causes of breast cancer are still not fully understood, early detection is key to reducing the mortality rate from this disease.

Today, with early detection, 90 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States will beat the disease – adding to the more than 2.8 million breast cancers survivors across the nation.

While Washington state has one of the lowest breast cancer mortality rates in the country, we still have a long way to go to fully defeat this devastating disease. Both public

50 Years Ago: October 8-15, 1964: The Okanogan County Public Utility District is attempting to interest the towns of Oroville and Tonasket in developing a public park on its Similkameen River power dam site, Commissioner Irv Woods reported Monday.

The old hydro-electric plant, which was obsolete when it was installed in 1921, would make a fine tourist attraction for such a park. The Chelan Goats took advantage of a couple of Oroville defensive errors and scored a second quarter TD that dealt the Hornets their third loss of the season in a Cariboo League game held at Chelan. The enrollment in Oroville Senior High School was 209 and the Junior High, 234 on Oct. 1, 1964. The Elementary School enrollment dropped to 509 from 524 on Oct. 1, 1963.

The Oroville Junior-High School faculty conducted a short survey Monday to determine the value of dismissing school for apple harvest. Some rather surprising statistics were complied form the survey. Approximated 320 students worked for pay for an average of 6.8 days and earned $19,418.31 or an average of $60.68 per student. A brand new “SitzLift” is being installed at the Sitzmark Ski

agencies and private health care organizations play a key role in this fight.

During my years in Congress, I have supported doubling federal funding for the National Institutes of Health, which helping lead the charge to find a cure for breast cancer. I also supported legislation to make permanent the Research and Development Tax Credit, which encourages U.S. companies to increase investments in research. This bill passed the House of Representatives earlier this year and I encourage the Senate to act quickly on this legislation so valuable research can continue.

For more information about breast cancer or how to get involved in the fight against it, I encourage you to visit the websites for The National Cancer Institute or the Centers for Disease Control.

Hill near Havillah. This major improvement, designed and built by Melvin Kuhlman, consists of a continuous overhead cable carrying telescoping hangers to pull skiers from the bottom of the hill to any one of several release points up the 1600 foot length of the “hill.”

Oroville evened its league record at 2–2 as they ran over Okanogan 19–0 last Friday and in doing so put themselves right back into the picture. Three teams are now tied for the lead with 2–1 records, Tonasket, Chelan, Omak and with Oroville a half game back.

A rollback of bylaw changes is needed SUBMITTED BY JAMES GUTSCHMIDT PRESIDENT, OROVILLE SENIOR CENTER

Years ago legal material I produced warned of unlawful process used by the banking industry. Those unlawful processes later resulted in the financial crisis of 2008. Some applauded my warning, but others slandered me unmercifully while never disputing my claim.

Fast forward to today the United States Justice Department was recently awarded a multibillion dollar claim against the Bank of America and others, for criminal fraud in their mortgage process. My warning was correct.

My process of 1994 was later affirmed by the United States District Court. You can access this and sordid slander trash and

OROVILLE SENIOR NEWS lies on the Internet.

Today my warning has to do with the bylaw changes, these past few years at OCSCA, OCTN and IHCCW. These changes separated these entities from each other in a manner that adversely affects oversight, and us. Those corporate cash cows, OCTN and IHCCW, are now effectively severed from OCSCA who originally owned them. Yes, they were owned by you. The sever is now to the point that their boards are thumbing their noses at us and claim we have no say in their operations.

With no oversight, this puts our meals, transportation and in-home healthcare in jeopardy. If it’s not checked I predict an inevitable future crisis

in those services. The fact that you, the members, were never included in those bylaws changes makes them void on their face.

Serving your ownership without your knowledge or consent is void. Rolling back those bylaws changes would restore the necessary accountability and ownership. With your help we can change this. Let’s move forward together. Your servant, tell next time. And, remember, anything you say can and will be used against you.

By the way, Tillie Porter is teaching a computer class on the fourth Tuesday of each month at our Senior Center thanks to Tillie and Raleigh Chinn (and my prompting) we have a grant in process to provide computers for that class.

In an effort to enhance the likelihood of receiving a grant for improvement to the Tonasket Municipal Pool from the IAC, the town council agreed to narrow the scope of their grant request at the Tuesday, September 26 council meeting. April Noel, 17, of Oroville, was a state finalist in the 4-H Fashion Revue held in Puyallup Sunday dur-ing the Western Washington Fair. She made and modeled a strapless velvet dinner dress and jacket.

The dress featured lace around the top and extended to the shoulders. April is the daughter of Rod and Kathy Noel of Oroville and attends Oroville High School. The summer tourist season is over here and the Visitor Information Center closed after Labor Day weekend, but the knowledge that

was gained about the numbers of and types of tourists that visited the area are in. The total from the United States covering 28 states with Washington posting 333 and California, 96.

were going on in a different forum prior to 1962. Before the addition of the Victory Bell, the two teams met on the playing field every Armistice Day, which of course is now Veteran’s Day. The highest scoring games, as well as the lowest, were both Oroville victories.

In November 1971, the Hornets stung the Tiger in a shut-out 44-0.

In then next year, 1972, the Tigers and Hornets were locked until the Oroville squad downed a Tiger ball carrier in the end zone for a safety and Oroville went home with a scant 2-0 win.

Good job, employees at the GazetteTribune. Recognition for a job well done makes things so much easier.

Having a broken arm didn’t stop young Noah Hilderbrand from getting his deer. He just shot it left-handed, and his grandpa, Gary Roberts has the photo to prove it.

A sizable group from the Free Methodist Church met at a local eating place last Sunday, as they frequently do, and they were enjoying the fellowship so much, I’m not sure if they knew what they had been served. So nice to see!

Ardith Law and her son were at the First Methodist Church last Sunday. For many years she played the organ/piano at church before moving to Tonasket. She reported that her husband, Noble, is very happy and content in a Veteran’s care center in Port Orchard, Wash. She doing very well, in spite of the many health issues she has had along the way.

For the month of October we are honoring Black Hawk Helicopter Mechanic Jarred Palmier based at U.S. Army Garrison (USAG) Ansbach Germany. His Blue Star Mother Tracy and father Greg live in Republic. The Palmiers are a military family and Jarred and his brother were both born in abroad at Wuerzburg West Germany.

This last spring, Tracy and Greg went to visit Germany where Jarred is currently based.

It was an emotional trip for them to return to the place where they themselves were assigned by the military years ago.

Jarred joined the Army in 2009 and was deployed shortly thereafter to Afghanistan for a year.

In November 2013 Jarred and his wife Taylor welcomed their daughter into military life!

Gaggles of geese are now heading south SUBMITTED BY MARIANNE KNIGHT HIGHLANDS CORRESPONDENT

Here we are in the middle of October and still having beautiful days. Yes, some nights have been real cold and many neighbors have had their fires going. It is a sure sign of fall when you go down the grade to town and see all the the beautiful trees and bushes that have changed to their fall colors. Fall is truly beautiful.

On our recent trips to Wenatchee for appointments we were lucky enough to see gaggles of geese heading south.

How magnificent they are. On the second trip we not only saw the great “V” formation of their flight, but an entire field covered with the geese. Must have been resting or having lunch. It was something to see. Speaking of

As a helicopter repairer, Jarred is primarily responsible for the maintenance of the UH-60 Helicopters (also known as the “Black Hawk”). With hundreds of missions depending on these helicopters, he must ensure that they are safe and ready to fly at all times. To qualify for this job he had to show an aptitude in both math and mechanics.

USAG Ansbach is located in Bavaria, a German state in the southeast. Ansbach is a beautiful city with a population of about 40,000. The garrison houses an attack helicopter battalion with several aviation and maintenance support units. Back in 1935, the German Luftwaffe built this air base and used it during the invasion of Poland, France, England, and Russia.

Ansbach Airfield was attacked

by Allied bombers in early 1945 and was seized by the United States Third Army. By 1949, it became a NATO (North Atlantic

OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE

Police chief ‘s love of tattoos grows into business “It didn’t go well.”

A couple of attempts later, and he was posting his work on Facebook. Next thing he knew he was getting requests.

“I’m really my worst critic,” he says. “I just didn’t feel like I was good enough to have my own shop. One of my reserve officers does security for the NHRA races in Kent. I went over, working security for the money booth, watching these people walk by with tattoos all day. Almost all of them, I saw that I could do that. I may not be doing portraits or works of art, but there’s a lot I can do.”

Because of his other full-time job, Burks only tattoos by appointment.

He can be reached by phone at 509322-3735, or his Facebook page (which includes images of his work) Big Pink Ink. “I’m at about 260 tattoos now,” he says.

“That’s not much for three years; if it was all I did I would be up to about 800. I have that other job.”

He says possibly the best part of his second job is the fact that he knows nearly everyone he tattoos on some level.

“It’s actually like coming out here and hanging out with my friends for two to four hours,” Burks says.

He said most of the planning (size and design) he does with the customer via email. For first-time tattoo-ees, he tries to make them comfortable with the feel of the needle before they’ve fully committed.

“Before I put ink on the needle, I’ll run it so they can see how it feels,” he says.

“Most of the time they’re like, really?

That’s what I was worried about?”

He runs the occasional special as well.

“I’ll have a drawing for a free ‘anniversary’ tattoo in December,” he says.

“I can do that because I don’t need to make $1,200 just to pay rent.... I do this because I love doing it and I still can’t believe that people want to pay me for it.”

As for the name, Big Pink Ink? “I have a buddy who sent me this picture with this pig, with a vest and badge, and it kind of stuck” he says. “It’s a play on the cop/pig thing. And I’m big.

“So it’s just poking fun at myself.”

‘Big Pink Ink’ nears 300th customer

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - What kind of person in their right mind would venture into a buddy’s Man Cave and come out with a tattoo?

If tattoo artist is the local police chief, it might make a difference.

If the police chief has converted his Man Cave into a licensed tattoo parlor, perhaps venturing in isn’t such a bad bet after all.

Rob Burks, best known in the area as Tonasket’s Police Chief, is also the proprietor of Big Pink Ink, which he operates out of a refinished outbuilding behind his home about a half-mile north of the city limits.

“There’s different things I don’t like that I see with tattoos, so I figured when I started my own business I would try to fix those things,” Burks says. “I started out just with family and close friends, and eventually ventured out into people I don’t know. I had a shop like this in the house but I got tired of people I didn’t know very well coming into the house.”

Burks’ wife Wendy suggested his Man Cave in the back yard be converted into his tattoo shop.

To run his business, Burks needed to get licenses both for the shop and for himself as a tattoo artist.

“You have to have all the signs, hot and cold water, a sink for me, a sink for the public, bathroom, health-related type requirements,” Burks says. “If I was working in someone else’s shop, I would only need an artists’ license.

“Being an EMT, too, taught me how to be clean and sanitary. I probably go beyond what I have to. I just don’t want to go half-assed on that.”

Burks himself sports an impressive array of tattoos - 26 in total, nine of which he gave himself.

“I’ve gotten a few here and there over the years,” he says. “But they’re expensive.

Me and some buddies had a submission grappling club, worked out every week.

My buddy from Okanogan came in and had tattoos all over his legs. A few weeks he had some more. I found out he started

Above, Rob Burks concentrates as he begins work on the back of Melody Webb, one of his return customers at his tattoo shop, Big Pink Ink. Left, Burks wipes down Webb’s back as they chat.

“It’s like ... hanging out with my friends for two to four hours,” he says.

to learn how to do tattoos, and I figured if he could do it I could do it.

“So unbeknownst to my wife I bought myself a tattoo kit for Christmas. I got one of those $65 starter kits out of China

- the kind with ink you shouldn’t buy.”

After practicing on some fake skin that came with the kit - “It kind of sucks -” he branched out to tattooing oranges and bananas, and finally himself.

“Wendy was the first person other than me,” he says of his longsuffering wife. “If you saw that tattoo you wouldn’t want me touching you. It was some frilly heart thing, and I freehanded my initials.

OROVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT

OROVILLE - The Oroville School District has teamed with The Rural School Alliance to prepare our students for college and career readiness. The Alliance has been working with rural high schools for many years to bring programs such as College in the High School, Avid, and other programs to help students succeed in high school and beyond.

Last year, the Alliance began looking at how to improve algebra scores in rural areas. The K-8 Algebra Team was formed to increase readiness for algebra at the elementary level with a heavy focus on the algebraic strands of the Common Core State Standards. To reach this goal, the K-8 Algebra team looked at several online programs for elementary students to use. The team selected Dreambox. The Rural Alliance secured grant funding to provide this pilot opportunity for several schools in Eastern Washington. Luckily, Oroville Elementary was one of the chosen schools! The Alliance is collecting data from this pilot to determine if the use of online programs will increase students’ proficiency in algebra.

Dreambox is an online program that uses virtual manipulatives to provide students an opportunity to see math in a different way.

All the lessons are aligned to The Common Core Standards. The program is individualized to each student. It adapts to the needs of the students and provides teachers feedback on what standards the students have mastered and what standards the students need

OLYMPIA - Oroville students attended the Association of Washington Student leaders Conference (AWSL) leadership conference in Olympia last week.

Leadership students from all over the state came together at Capital High School for the annual student leadership conference. The conference is very popular amongst leadership students, who come together to attend multiple workshops, attend motivational speaker sessions and work together to share ideas that can help them make a difference in their schools, for one another and for their communities.

Students are housed by parents and community members with students from the sponsoring area and learn networking skills all the while meeting

The conference is exceptional and is sponsored in part by the Association of Washington School Principals and has received this support for over 30 years.

This year all of the students were treated to a tour of the capital and enjoyed a surprise visit from Governor Jay Inslee, who spoke to them about how pleased he was to see such a group of young leaders.

He stated that it is so important and that they were needed for a future of helping to make choices that would assist changes in our climate as well as finding funding to insure that education is fully funded and teachers receive support the support they so deserve.

TONASKET - The Victory Bell trophy, for this year at least, will stay in Tonasket.

The Tigers continued to ride the play of their offensive line, which hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really been slowed by anyone this year, as they built a big lead over rival Oroville during last Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Homecoming game and posted a 46-20 victory over the Hornets.

The win moves the Tigers to within a game of clinching their first playoff spot since 2007.

But Friday, the focus was on winning a game in front of an overflow Homecoming crowd and retaining possession of the rivalry trophy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think you could tell through the course of the week there was that little something extra,â&#x20AC;? said Tonasket coach Jay Hawkins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could feel it, all week and in the locker room.â&#x20AC;?

The Tigers know what they do well, and their road-grading offensive line punished the smaller, younger Hornets through the first quarter and a half of play as Tonasket built a 33-0 lead to settle things well before halftime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really gaining confidence,â&#x20AC;? Hawkins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it on the practice field. We know what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good at. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it in a stretch of games; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re confident we can move the ball against people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Confidence was going to be a big thing for us this year, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to see it shine through a bit.â&#x20AC;?

The Tigers pounded away on the ground with Isaiah YaussyAlbright and Jorge Juarez through most of the first quarter, and Jesse Ramon and Jesse Manring getting most of the second quarter carries. Juarez scored on a 4-yard run in the first quarter and took a screen pass 41 yards for a touchdown for the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final score of the first half.

Albright had scoring runs of 21 yards and 6 yards, and Ramon added a 2-yard run in the second

Hornets improve in losses

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

OKANOGAN - Moral victories are tough to quantify. But when you turn in a nine-goal improvement in a matter of weeks, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a better way to put it despite losing the game.

Orovilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls soccer teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4-1 loss at league-leading Okanogan on Thursday, Oct. 9, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reasonably be seen any other way, considering the Hornets suffered a 12-0 defeat to the Bulldogs a few weeks ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls showed up to the play with the goal of shutting Okanogan down after the (first ) contest,â&#x20AC;? said Oroville coach Tony Kindred.

The Hornets picked up an early goal from Katie Egerton off an assist from Kali Peters to get off on the right foot.

Kambe Ripley made 19 saves in goal in the first half - her first goalkeeping stint of the year - to keep the Hornets in the game, and Xochil Rangel shut

21:18), Adam Halvorsen (44th, 22:20) and Keeton Hoines (55th, 23:32).

OMAK - Cascade may have the defending state 1A cross country champion, but Tonasketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls proved to have more depth as the Tigers edged the Kodiaks and Omak for the Pioneersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cross country invitational title on Tuesday, Oct. 7.

Erin Mullins dominated the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; race with a time of 18:17, but the Tigers, with five of the top 15 runners, edged Cascade 38-42, with Omak just behind with 43 points.

Johnna Terris led Tonasket with a third place finish in 21:23. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls are really running well as a team,â&#x20AC;? said Tonasket coach Bob Thornton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are getting closer as a pack every race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Haley Larson ran her best race of the season, closing the gap on our top girls and helping the team run as a pack.â&#x20AC;?

Others finishing for the Tigers were Katie Henneman (8th, 22:53), Camille Wilson (9th, 23:02), Jenna Valentine (11th, 23:30), Haley Larson (15th, 24:30) and Bailie Hirst (20th, 26:38).

For the boys, Hunter Swanson finished the 3-mile course in 17:36 to lead Tonasket to a third place finish.

Cascade dominated (eight of the top 13 runners), followed by Lake Roosevelt (76), Tonasket (91) and Omak (99). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The boys ran a nice race as well,â&#x20AC;? Thornton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both Bryden Hires and Rade Pilkinton ran great races to help the team.â&#x20AC;?

Hires was the second Tonasket finisher, taking 14th in 18:57. He was followed by Abe Podkranic (23rd, 20:10), Pilkinton (27th, 20:21), Smith Condon (32nd, 20:37), Justin McDonald (36th,

TIGERS RUN WITH THE BIG DOGS LEAVENWORTH - Tonasketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys finished 11th and the girls took third at the Leavenworth Invitational on Saturday, Oct. 11.

The meet included a number of Class 2A and 3A schools, led by Franklin of Seattle, which dominated the boys meet (5 of the top 13 runners), while host Cascade was dominant on the girls side (4 of the top 13).

Five teams had a legitimate shot at second place in the girls race; Tonasket placed four of the to 26 finishers in a race with 90 competitors.

Johnna Terris led the way with an 8th place finish on the 2.8-mile course in 21:06. Other Tigers included Katie Henneman (15th, 22:07), Camille Wilson (20th, 22:37), Jenna Valentine (26th, 23:04), Haley Larons (37th, 24:42) and Baillie Hirst (40th 25:12).

Cascadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Erin Mullins won the race in 17:29, more than three minutes faster than the runnerup.

Hunter Swanson led the boys, taking 15th in 17:29. He was fifth among Central Washington 2B runners, including Ben Klemmeck (2nd) and Josiah Klemmeck (10th) of Liberty Bell, and Oren Cox of Bridgeport (8th).

Other Tigers included Bryden Hires (46th, 18:29); Adrian McCarthy (66th, 19:05); Samuel Strandberg (87th, 20:01); Smith Condon (90th, 20:03); Rade Pilkinton (104th, 21:24) and Adam Halvorsen (111th, 23:38).

Hornets lose two

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

OROVILLE - Oroville’s volleyball team seemed on track to pick up its first win of the season last Thursday when Lake Roosevelt came to visit.

But the “hangover” effect after getting thumped by league-leading Okanogan two days earlier seemed to slow the Hornets down against the Raiders, according to coach Nicole Hugus.

LR defeated the Hornets in four sets, 25-15, 23-25, 25-23, 25-14.

“We had a hard start to the week,” she said. “We are still struggling to recover. We need to work on moving our feet. We were getting burned in the same spot all night long.”

The Hornets (0-9 overall and in Central Washington League

BY BRENT BAKER BBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - The season is just past its midpoint, but the Tonasket girls soccer team has already assured itself a spot in the District 5/6/7 tournament in a few weeks.

The top five teams in the Central Washington League will move on to the postseason, and even if the Tigers lose the rest of their games, they’ve done enough already this season to ensure they won’t be left out of the playoff party.

That doesn’t mean they are satisfied with where they’re at so far. The Tigers beat Entiat 3-0 on Thursday, Oct. 9, to wrap up a playoff spot but after a scoreless first half, no one in blue and white was particularly happy.

Whether there were lingering effects from the previous night’s Powderpuff football games that were plenty competitive or something else was hard to say, but Tigers coach Darren Collins pulled no punches in trying to get things right.

“It was a disappointing first half in just about every way,” said Tonasket coach Darren Collins. “The Powderpuff football team played the first half, then the soccer team came out and played the second half. I’m glad they figured that out because I couldn’t sit them all.”

Collins had made his displeasure known in a number of ways, from imploring his team to “play some soccer” throughout the first half, to sitting twin sisters Ashlynn and Kayla Willis for the final 20 minutes before halftime, to challenging the team during the break.

“I just tried to get them riled up,” he said.

“They knew how disappointed I was. The twins sitting out made about as big a statement as I could, and they sure didn’t want to be taken out again. It was like two totally different games.”

Where there had been no offensive flow at all in the first half, the Tigers consistently threatened to score in the second with crisp passing and plenty of possession on Entiat’s half of the field.

It didn’t take long to break the scoreless tie once the Tigers recovered their mojo.

Jaden Vugteveen put Tonasket ahead with a penalty kick. Both Willis twins figured in the Tigers’ final two goals, as Ashlynn assisted on Morgyne Hjaltason’s goal, and Kayla scored off Hjaltason’s assist.

Tonasket’s Rose Walts just misses heading in a goal off a corner kick during the Tigers’ 3-0 victory last Thursday that clinched a district playoff berth.

The Tigers had several other opportunities in the second half, including several nearmisses by Rose Walts, while Entiat wasn’t able to mount much of an offensive threat.

Entiat also had three players carried off the field with injuries throughout the game.

The Tigers (10-1 overall after defeating Chelan 5-1 on Saturday, 8-1 in Central Washington League play) host Bridgeport on Thursday and travel to Oroville on Tuesday, Oct. 21.

OKANOGAN 4, TONASKET 2 OKANOGAN - In the battle of Central Washington League unbeatens, Okanogan emerged as the last team undefeated in league play as the Bulldogs came from behind to defeat the Tigers, 4-2, on Sept. 30.

Tonasket got goals from Kayla Willis and Jaden Vugteveen to take an early 2-0 lead.

Okanogan cut that margin in half before the break.

“We played about as well as we can in the

first half,” Collins said. “I’m not sure what we were doing in the second half, but weren’t the same team at all.”

Okanogan scored three unanswered goals in the second half.

Madison Gariano had 14 saves for the Tigers.

TONASKET 4, BREWSTER 1 TONASKET - Tonasket spotted Brewster an early goal, but dominated most of the way thereafter while defeating the Bears 4-1 on Thursday, Oct. 2.

Jaden Vugteveen, Morgyne Hjaltason and Ashlynn Willis each scored for the Tigers, with Brewster knocking in an own goal as well.

“We controlled the ball most of the game,” Collins said. “Their goal bounced off the ‘ugly turf ’ and hopped over my goalie, who was in position and had it take a really bad bounce.

We played a really good game.”

Gariano had nine saves.

TONASKET - Tonasket’s volleyball team wasn’t at full strength on Tuesday, Oct. 7, and was unable to cope with the front line attacking of Manson sophomore Maddee Ward in a four set loss.

The Tigers were without Faith Lofthus, lost Alissa Young to injury during the match, and had setters Vanessa Pershing and Taylon Pilkinton not at full strength while recovering from injuries of their own.

Manson took the match 25-13, 19-25, 25-19, 25-17.

Ward, taking most of her sets from twin sister Baylee, showed off her prodigious leaping ability and powerful hits against the makeshift Tonasket lineup on numerous occasions to key the Manson win.

LIBERTY BELL 3, TONASKET 1 TWISP - The Tigers, still dealing with injuries, lost in four set at Liberty Bell on Thursday, Oct. 9, as each was decided by three or fewer points.

A total lunar eclipse started out under clear skies early Wednesday, Oct. 8, but as the eclipse progressed, clouds obscured the moon just as the most unique portion of the event - the deep red hue caused by sunlight refracting through the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s atmosphere while the moon is hiding in the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shadow.
