New NVH board member to be selected tonight

‘LIVE EACH DAY AS IF LIFE HAS JUST BEGUN’

BY KATIE TEACHOUT KATHERINE@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

North Valley Hospital will be holding a special board meeting this evening (June 18) to select a board member to fill the place of Theresa Hughes, who resigned at the end of May. Adam Tibbs, Marylou Criner and Leon Alden have applied for the position.

New CEO Mike Zwicker reported his first few days on the job included meeting one on one with the senior leadership team and getting out in the community to meet people.

“I’m getting out in the community and getting a taste of issues that might be brewing,” Zwicker said. “I’m trying to get to community meetings; once I’m tucked

in here I will get out to Oroville as well.”

He attended a hospital Foundation meeting and suggested a community Gala event be held as an opportunity to raise donations from the community.

Zwicker reported the McKinstry Geo-Thermal project will be moving into phase two, with the drilling of two extraction wells and two direction wells.

Phase one was completed in October 2013. Chief Information Officer Kelly Cariker said the delay in moving forward was due to the hospital wanting to get out of debt first, and then not being able to do the work during winter months.

A new bid for phase two will need to be secured because of the time lapse.

TONASKET - Tonasket City Council member and USFS employee Jill Vugteveen presented information during the June 9 council meeting on how to protect your home from wildfires. Over 300 homes were lost during last summer’s Carlton Complex Wildfire.

Tips for protecting properties include using fire resistant building materials, and wetting down combustible roofs or turning on roof sprinklers if a fire breaks out.

Clean your roof and gutters regularly to avoid accumulation of leaves, twigs, pine needles and other flammable materials.

Inspect your chimney at least twice a year, and have it cleaned at least once a year. Homes and cabins built in wooded areas should have a spark arrester installed in chimneys.

Use only approved woodburning devices, and be sure they are installed

according to manufacturer’s recommendations and local regulations. When disposing of ashes, make sure embers are completely extinguished and dispose of cold ashes in an area free of flammable materials.

Store firewood away from your home, as well as all combustibles such as picnic tables or boats.

Control vegetation and establish a fuel break at least 30-feet wide around all structures. Shrubs and trees should be at least 15 feet apart. Remove branches from trees to a height of 15 feet to prevent ground fire from spreading to tops of trees. Keep trees and vegetation at least 10 feet away from a chimney or stove pipe. Foundation plantings should be of the non-resinous, fire resistant variety and be free of dead and dying vegetation.

Develop an adequate and reliable water supply. Locate and note nearby creeks, rivers, lakes and ponds so firefighters can

Tonasket Outreach school has big impact for students

BY KATIE TEACHOUT KATHERINE@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - Outreach Director Carol Lanigan, who is retiring this year, presented her final report on Tonasket’s Outreach Program at the June 8 school board meeting. Eight seniors graduated from the program this year, and five eighth graders were promoted.

“Some of the students who come to us and graduate through us just wouldn’t make it otherwise,” Lanigan said.

She said highlights of the year included field trips, with elementary students going to the salmon fest; middle and high school students visiting Coulee Dam; and the Friday School going to Padilla Bay and Seattle. The trip to Seattle was paid for with grant funding, and included a trip to the Burke Museum at the University of Washington.

“We got to be some of the first ones to see the first fossil found in Washington State, and I heard a lot of students say they wanted to attend UW now; it was very inspiring for them,” said Lanigan.

“We were at Padilla Bay for the lowest tide of the year, so we got to go out and dig up specimens to put under microscopes at the research center.”

Lanigan said another highlight of the year was the visit from the State Auditors Office.

“They interviewed a lot of people at the school district; from Paul Turner on down to students and staff. They felt we were doing something good and they wanted to write something up to share with other alternative programs in the state.”

Board member Catherine Stangland congratulated Lanigan on “leaving on a high note, with the state recognizing your achievements.”

“The recognition from the state is a testament to your years, and the good job you did down there,” said Superintendent Turner.

Andy Jones, Program Director for Tonasket Alternative High School from 1996 through 2003, will be returning to Tonasket.

“I’ll be teaching and helping to direct

OKANOGAN VALLEY GAZETTE-TRIBUNE Volume 111 No. 25

the Outreach Program, and I hope to help the Choice High School any way I can,” said Jones. “I’m hoping to revive a music program there. I’m really excited about the possibilities for the kids and families, and psyched to be living up in the highlands again.”

Jones has been working as a high school counselor and teacher with the Arlington School District for the past nine years, after serving as Alternative High School Principal with the Stanwood School District.

Projected enrollment in the Outreach Program for the 2015/16 school year is between 38 and 40 students.

“Andy Jones and Jen Weddle are coming up with some great new ideas; I’m excited about the upcoming changes,” said Lanigan. “It’s been my pleasure to work here and I will miss my time here.”

Chelsea Freeman reported seven seniors graduating from the Tonasket Alternative High School (Choice High School).

Senior Branden Hicks said while most

Secretary of State Kim Wyman presented Okanogan County Chief Deputy Auditor/Election Supervisor Mila Jury and Pierce County Elections Manager Mike Rooney with the County Election Employee of the Year award at the 2015 state Elections Conference.

Mila Jury ‘County Election Employee of the Year’ THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE SEATTLE - Secretary of State Kim Wyman presented Okanogan County Chief Deputy Auditor/Election Supervisor Mila Jury with a County Election

Employee of the Year award at the 2015 state Elections Conference last week in SeaTac. Wyman praised Jury, who has 40 years of experience working in elections, for providing leader-

ship for her peers and offering feedback on elections issues.

“Mila displayed nerves of steel and great leadership during last year’s raging wildfires,” Wyman said. “She was unfazed and had a plan to manage elections manually if needed.”

“Mila conducts elections with integrity, efficiency and transparency, we are fortunate to have her knowledge and dedication in the Okanogan County Auditor’s office.” Thomas added.

Mike Rooney, Elections Manager for Pierce County also received the county award.

During last week’s conference, Wyman and her Elections Division staff joined Thomas, Jury and other county auditors and county elections employees to learn or share new ideas and practices that will allow them to run elections even better both at the county and state levels.

The annual conference was hosted by the Washington State Association of County Auditors.

obtain additional water if needed.

Install a garden hose outlet on the exterior of each dwelling, and keep 100 feet of hose connected to protect all sides of the house and roof.

Plan adequate access and escape. Each home should have at least two different entrance and exit routes. Plan a safe retreat route for you ad your family before a forest fire occurs, and make sure everyone knows the plan.

Keep fire tools ready, including a ladder long enough to reach the roof, a shovel, a rake and a bucket. Keep the the tools in an easily-accessible place, with all occupants of the home informed of where the tools are located.

If you are going to burn outdoors, make sure you have a valid permit and clear the ground of all flammable materials for at least 10 feet. Have adequate water and fire tools available. Burn only during the hours specified on the permit; and don’t burn on dry, windy days. Have an adult attending the fire until it is completely out.

• If a forest fire occurs, here are some steps to take to remain safe. Back your car into the garage, close the garage door, and leave the keys in the ignition.

• Close windows and doors to the house and close all inside doors. Take down curtains.

• Place water in containers to fight the fire.

• Place a ladder against the front of the house.

• Wet down combustible roofs.

• Turn off gas at the meter and propane tank.

• Evacuate family ad pets to a safe location.

• If you’ve done everything on your checklist and the fire is close, it’s time to evacuate.

• If fire authorities permit, an able-bodied member of the household may remain to protect the house.

• If the fire cannot be stopped and passes over your home, the safest place for protection is inside the house with all doors and windows closed.

• Immediately after the fire passes, check for hot spots for the next 10 hours.

In a major conflagration, fire protection agencies may not have enough equipment and personnel to be at every home. Taking all proper precautions before a wild fire will be your best defense against it.

Vugteveen said she would be sharing the fire safety information with the Tonasket Fire Department and asking them to approach homeowners of some properties in town that community members have voiced concerns about.

Other hot news included Mayor Patrick Plumb informing the Tonasket Visitor and Business Resource Center to put together a guideline for artists displaying art at City Hall and the Public Library.

Tonasket Chamber of Commerce President Julie Alley said they asked all artists involved in the art walk to keep their art appropriate.

“Do we have to ask your approval if we put something together?” Alley inquired.

“No,” Plumb responded, “we are not playing around. If something gets put up and it’s not appropriate, then the decision is permanent to not allow art to be displayed here anymore.”

Council member Scott Olson said if he goes into an art gallery, he “expects to see controversial stuff and that’s fine; but if I take my 10-year-old into the library I don’t expect to see controversial stuff.”

Council member Claire Jeffko said she thought artwork recently displayed in the hallway outside the library “was quite controversial, and I’m an artist.”

Jeffko said when displaying her art at the PUD building, she had to bring in a few pieces

ahead of time to show them her style, and sign a waiver, adding, “And I didn’t spring any surprises on them.”

City Clerk and Treasurer Alice Attwood reported having 80 second graders touring City Hall last Thursday (June 4).

“I got to give them a speech about government and tell them about the council members.

They asked wonderful questions and were all very well behaved. It was great fun,” Attwood said.

Attwood also reported a test was given for an entry level police officer position. She said four applicants showed up. Two of them did not pass the physical test; but the other two did, along with the written and oral tests.

Interim Police Chief Curtis will be interviewing them. Attwood said she began advertising for the police chief position, with July 10 scheduled as the test date.

Attwood also reported speaking to Jeff Moran, who put together a storm water plan and “wants to meet with the council; he is interested in pursuing this further.”

Mayor Plumb suggested scheduling it for the next council meeting, and in the meantime the city would need to look into what starting another utility would comprise of.

City Supervisor Hugh Jensen said the new Splash Park is “coming along.” He said the concrete had been poured and they were ready for grass to go in.

The council approved the idea of spending $1,623 to improve the road going into Chief Tonasket Park.

Council member Olson said it would be a short-term fix, but the money would be well spent to support the water park by improving the road.

PROGRAMS | FROM A1 people would consider graduating from high school a “very common feat,” he didn’t believe he would have stayed in school if it wasn’t for the Tonasket Choice High School (TCHS).

“The truth of the matter is that I was always high risk to drop out of high school. With the help of TCHS, not only have I grown academically, but I have also learned how to interact with other human beings in a productive way. I probably would not have discovered many of my own talents without the help of this school, and I thank the teachers here for never giving up on me,” said Hicks.

Senior Johan Jhatason said he wouldn’t have graduated if it wasn’t for TCHS helping him out.

Reporting on his senior project, Jhatason said, “So to give back, I helped them by turning an old, ancient, dilapidated desk into a brand-new looking desk. It took 15 layers of stain and five layers of clearcoat.”

“This is our best year ever,” said Freeman. “I probably said that last year, and I’ll probably say it next year also, but I really feel it’s been a great year.”

High School Vocational/ Agricultural teacher Andie Wommack and students reported on the Xeroscape Landscaping class project of Habitat Restoration with dripline irrigation, saying they expected a new drip system to decrease irrigation costs from $1,050 to $240 per year.

Wommack said she set the Xeroscape class up as a business, and stayed very “hands off ” herself.

“The kids are very proud of the work they’ve done,” Wommack said.

Still, they weren’t entirely certain they should continue with

the project; listing concerns of ongoing maintenance and the need for lots of help from volunteers.

“I don’t think we are utilizing the school garden as much as we should be, so adding another large learning lab might be a little premature,” Wommack said.

School maintenance supervisor John Verbeck said that while he was very impressed with the research the class did, he didn’t think the Xerolandscaping project was one that should move forward.

“The goal on the grounds is to keep it as open as possible, with less places for kids to hide.

Branches hanging down is a problem; we’ll need to keep it pruned back for semis to go under. We’ve had other planting projects, and they turned into clover weed and knap weed,” Verbeck said. “Right now it takes about 10 minutes to mow that area, but are we going to be able to spend only that amount of time to keep it nice after five years? The insurance company is after us to keep the lowest limbs eight feet or higher so kids can’t climb up on them.

The other problem is roots, which result in curbs being broken and pavement cracked.”

Wommack said if she was “going back to the drawing board,” she would probably go back to a more traditional Xeroscape rather than habitat restoration. She said she would report back to the school board next fall.

A decision to make changes to the administrator contracts was postponed until the next meeting. Stangland said she would like to see it become more equitable across the district, as the Special Ed Director works just as hard as the elementary school principal, who works just as hard as

the middle school principal, who works just as hard as the high school principal. Turner said it would cost more than the previously estimated $13,000 to move everyone up to the high school schedule of pay. Board member Ty Olson said he would like to see the pay scale “raised to a competitive point where excellent staff won’t be tempted to apply elsewhere.”

The board voted to keep the traffic safety education program at a cost of $393 per student.

STEM Coordinator and grant writer Bob Ashmore’s contract was approved to be continued, with a reassignment of duties to include a focus on early childhood education.

Middle school counselor Josh Thayer reported meeting with Okanogan County Youth Suicide Prevention Coalition twice as month as “a time to collaborate on suicide prevention. One goal was to provide services here, as a lot of kids we work with can’t afford to get to Omak for services; it’s the same all over the county.”

Thayer reported a counselor was hired with Okanogan County Behavioral Health to come to Tonasket two days a week and Oroville two days a week to work with kids beginning next fall.

“This position will actually be sustainable; as they are an actual employee of Omak Mental Health,” Thayer said. “In the past, with a grant funding the position, when the grant goes away the mental health professional goes away.”

Phone calls and emails to Okanogan County Behavioral Health and the Okanogan County Youth Suicide Prevention Coalition were not returned before this article went to press.

HOSPITAL | FROM A1 Jan Gonzalez, Director of Human Resources, said an annual employee update covering twelve topics was attended by 180 employees out of 230.

The hospital is required by law to update employees about issues including fire and safety, infection prevention and violence in the workplace.

“We try to make it fun and get

it all done in one day. Employees attend information booths and take a quiz at each booth,” Gonzalez said. Employees who aren’t able to attend are given a packet to go through. Lunch was served and a pie auction raised $1750 for the employee fund.

Gonzalez said over a dozen five-year pins were handed out, and Kathy Tomlinson was recog-

nized for working 35 years in the Long Term Care division.

Commissioner Herb Wandler reported presenting a letter at the Caribou Trail meeting last month stating North Valley Hospital would like to withdraw from the organization.

As of June 11, cash in hand at 38 days is $2,302,084 after payroll.

Tim and Dianna Naillon will be leasing the Pastime Bar and Grill from owners Brant and Victoria Hinze. The couple hopes to open by next month.

The Pastime leased to couple with local roots THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

OROVILLE - Victoria and Brant Hinze, owners of the Pastime Bar and Grill, announced Monday that they have reached an agreement to lease the business to Tim and Dianna Naillon, former Northern Okanogan residents.

The Naillons are originally from Oroville and Tonasket, respectively, and will be moving back to the valley from Yakima. They have served in key roles in several start-up and developing businesses.

“We see the effort and passion that the Hinzes have put into the Pastime and are very excited to build on the foundation they’ve laid,” said Tim Naillon.

The Hinzes purchased the former Pastime Tavern in early 2010 and did substantial renovations to the building before re-opening as a new farm to table restaurant and full service bar in the spring of 2013.

“Our goal was always to add to the vitality of Main Street and contribute to the economic well-being of Oroville. We’re thrilled that the Naillons will pick up where we left off and make the Pastime into their own vision,” Victoria Hinze said of the transfer. The lease begins June 15.

The Naillons will be making public their plans for a new menu, opening schedule and hours of operation in coming weeks.

Conscious Culture Festival set to light up the Highlands

BY KATIE TEACHOUT KATHERINE@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

Okanogan Highlands Productions and Stonelove Rocks presents the 6th Annual Conscious Culture Festival (CCF) this weekend, June 19-21, at the Okanogan Family Faire/Barter Faire Site (Cayuse Mountain Rd. off Hwy 20) near Tonasket.

Tickets can be purchased at Tonasket Natural Foods Co-op, Main Street Market in Omak, Twisp River Pub, online at www.

BrownPaperTickets.com or at the

gate.

Features of this year’s event include Bibi McGill taking the Mainstage Friday evening with Zahira. McGill is the lead guitar player and music director for Beyonce’s all female 10-piece band, Suga Mama. McGill is also a devoted Yoga teacher.

“On Friday night she will be inhabiting the role of our official musical and spiritual guide, as she presents a program of sacred chant music called Kirtan, along with singer and collaborator Gurunan Singh,” said festival founder BlueJay Hankins. “Soon

after sunset, McGill and Singh are destined to take CCF and their own performance to another level of harmonious interconnection.

This is a show like none other that we have had the pleasure of promoting in our six-year history.”

Musical events take place on four stages throughout the weekend.

Other highlights of the weekend include The Rock Shop, a Rock Camp for kids that evolved in response to deep cuts to the arts in public schools.

“Rock Shop participants will learn more than just the infinite possibilities of twelve notes,” said Hankins. “They’ll also take home the beginnings of lifelong lessons about fostering teamwork and friendship. The Rock Shop has touched the lives of countless youth since its inception in Friday Harbor in 2006.”

“Late morning classes encourage young folks to explore and develop basic skills, while mid afternoon workshops provide a safe welcoming environment for CCF kids to collaborate and learn to create music with others,” said

director Lynnette Cabrera. New youth bands formed over the weekend are invited to share the mainstage Sunday afternoon.

Also new this year is an art space called The Garden.

“We are creating a venue for underground heroes of the world to take their work to the next level,” Hankins said. “Expect to enjoy a few works based on a theme of sustainability. Some will simply dazzle in the night.”

Featured artists include David Kitt, whose ‘Fusion Fire’ is an art installation inspired by an actual

fusion reactor in Canada that “may someday power the Earth and future spacecraft with clean energy,” said Hankins. “The real reactor is heavily classified and hidden in Burnaby, B.C. David Kitts’ fun and family friendly interpretation of the source of clean energy of tomorrow is yours to touch and help power up, exclusively during Fusion Fire’s showcase hours.”

Yoga workshops will take place throughout the weekend.

Other on stage events include Active Entertainments Fashion Show and Fire Dancers.

THE TOWN CRIER

Hope that maybe one day you too will circle back

I’m sure someone has a bigger record – probably one of the teachers, but last Saturday I witnessed my twenty-seventh Oroville High School graduation. And that’s just counting the ones I’ve been to since working at the newspaper and not my own or those of my brothers and friends. Come to think of it, for a dozen years or so I was covering both Oroville and Tonasket so who knows how many north county classes I’ve seen take those first steps into the post high school world.

It’s hard to remember just what it was like to be embarking on a trip into this new world, whether it be for job or going on to college.

Like many I suppose it was a combination of nervousness and excitement on the prospect of starting a new life, and dare I say it, getting out of Oroville.

Out of Well, I came back to “God’s Country” as dad My Mind liked to call it, nearly three decades ago. And Gary A. DeVon for the most part I haven’t regretted the decision. I know lots of my friends would like to move back, but the job market just doesn’t allow it. Like many of us we’re caught on the hamster wheel that is having to earn a living in this world. For some the grass always seemed greener on the other side of the fence, or state. While the pay might not be as high, for me there are still more good reasons to live here than anywhere else.

My hope is that our little corner of the world has something to offer to all our graduates after they’ve had a go at conquering the world. We need entrepreneurs, skilled and educated people, to come back and share their skills with future generations of Hornets and Tigers. We need them to create jobs right here in their home towns and create opportunities for their friends and families.

So, as you go forth and meet your next challenge, remember there are good people right here wishing you the best of luck on your journey. May you always find a bit of your hometown whereever you travel. Be good representatives of the people, communities and schools that helped to form you and always remember that you have a place to call home when you’ve accomplished what you wanted to do.

Sometimes I wish I was taking those first tentative steps again – to have a fresh chance at maybe choosing a new path. But no matter which path I would have chosen, I know eventually it would have circled back to where I began and I hope that many of you that choose to wander will someday feel the same way.

On a different note, not sure what happened to our letter writers this week. I guess all must be right with the world and no one has any complaints. I hope everyone has been enjoying the couple of color cartoons we’ve run in a few of this month’s issues. The price was right -- free and they made me laugh. Perhaps I need one of those remotes like in this week’s offering. I’ve still got my hair, but it’s defiantly grayer. Perhaps it’s time for an update picture too.

Protect farmers from costly retaliation

BY U.S. REP DAN NEWHOUSE FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, WASHINGTON

The clock is ticking for American farmers and manufacturers to avoid billions of dollars in sanctions and tariffs on U.S. exports to our biggest trading partners. On May 18, the World Trade Organization (WTO) rejected a U.S. appeal and ruled in favor of Canada and Mexico on mandatory country of origin labeling (COOL) requirements for beef, pork, and chicken products. WTO found that COOL requirements for muscle meat cuts were in violation of U.S. obligations with our trading partners, Canada and Mexico. This is the fourth time WTO has ruled against the U.S. on COOL requirements. Why is this ruling significant? Unless Congress acts to protect American produc-

ers by bringing U.S. rules into compliance, Canada and Mexico have taken steps to retaliate within the next few weeks against the U.S. to the tune of $3 billion in annual sanctions on American agricultural and nonagricultural goods.

Retaliation over COOL requirements will not just have a negative impact on American beef, pork, and chicken products: retaliation can apply to hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of Washington exports of apples, cherries, pears, potatoes, wine, and manufactured goods as well.

In arguing against repealing COOL, some falsely claim that COOL requirements are really about food safety. However, meat products produced or imported in the U.S. are already subject to mandatory inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s

THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF OROVILLE & TONASKET

Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS).

Additionally, before arriving in the U.S., imported meat products are required to be produced with an equivalent food safety system to that of the U.S. The reality is that all meat products sold in the U.S., regardless of origin, must be inspected to equally rigorous standards. The repeal of COOL will have no impact on the FSIS food safety inspection program, ensuring that the U.S. continues to produce the safest food supply in the world.

If COOL is not about food safety, does that mean it implies an economic benefit?

Compliance with COOL actually adds additional costs for American packers, processors, producers, and ultimately consumers.

Given Washington’s proximity to Canada, processors depend on Canadian cattle, but under the mandatory COOL requirement, U.S. and Canadian cattle must be processed separately, adding increased cost with no safety benefit. Further, even when repealing mandatory COOL, there is nothing preventing producers from continuing to market their products as U.S. cattle – it just is not a requirement.

Congress must act quickly to prevent potentially devastating retaliation in the form of sanctions and tariffs, which is why I cosponsored legislation to repeal country of origin labeling requirements as an urgent response to the WTO’s ruling. Last week, I voted with the House on a bipartisan basis, 300 to 131, to pass this legislation to shield American farmers from retaliation by simply repealing the COOL meat cut provisions to make the U.S. compliant with our obligations.

The U.S. must play by the rules we agreed to with our biggest trading partners and export markets. Time is running out to avoid the costly penalty of trade sanctions, which is why I urge the Senate to pass mandatory COOL repeal.

Save the Arfenbarkers!

OPINION BY WILLIAM SLUSHER

SOCIO-POLITICAL WRITER

Post Vietnam, I was a flight instructor stationed at the Army’s helicopter base near Savannah Georgia. Savannah is a lovely, historical city but it’s also a semi-tropical town, mercilessly humid and hot much of the year.

It almost never snows in Savannah.

So I shook my head at a local television special run then about a local shopping-mall puppy mill selling ...Saint Bernard puppies. They were like animated teddy bears on TV, of course, precious, charming and cuddly. They quickly became all the rage among the many young Army Bill Slusher couples living in Savannah ...in apartments, trailers or starter homes.

In a year or two these fluffy little balls of joy began to resemble grizzlies in size, appetite, and in suitability to hot climates, apartments, trailers and starter homes. Wikipedia lists the average weight as “140 to 264... pounds”.

The grown Saints were more lovable than grizz by quite a margin, but they drooled copiously, broke furniture with their enormous weight and sweeping tails, shed hair everywhere, barked like a train horn and ate like a Sumo academy. Not to mention the waste issues. One young father swatted his impudent child on the butt and the little girl’s St. Bernard nearly ate his.

Sadly, adult Saint Bernards started appearing in free-to-good-home ads, being abandoned in parks, or trekked to veterinary offices for euthanasia.

I was reminded of this today as I enjoyed a

tour of No Paws Left Behind, a huge dog rescue operation near Oroville. Carrol Richards, the indefatigable honcho at Paws, recited stories about many of the (count ‘em, she does)... 40 ... dogs she currently shelters. She related histories of abuse, neglect, shameful irresponsibility or often just poor foresight on the part of their former human caretakers.

They’d made the same mistake of pretending cute puppies never grow up to be adult dogs with all the needs and natures of ... dogs.

At Rancho Slusho we have two pedigreed corgis (think Queen Elizabeth’s dogs), but we also love our two big brown, galumpfy ranch dogs of indeterminate but diverse ancestry whom we ‘rescued’, one from abandonment and one from a dog pound needle.

As a ten year old walking to school in the Pleistocene Era I came upon a box of mangled puppies someone had tried to throw off a bridge from a moving car. For years, what I wanted to do when I grew up was track that person down and kill them deader than Bernie Madoff ’s Visa card. So I’m moved to offer these thoughts that I’d be grateful if you would share as widely as possible: Foremost, please, if you’re angry or disgusted with your dog or it’s just outgrown your situation, it happens. Don’t chain it to a tree, cage it in an apple crate, starve it, beat it or throw it off a bridge. And don’t allow it to churn out yet more unwanted puppies. I’d consider it a personal favor if you’d take it to an area rescue shelter, pronto. If necessary, call the shelter and one of us will come help you and the dog be free of an unhappy mutual problem. It’ll be easy. You’ll feel better. You’re probably not the guy who threw that box in Tennessee in 1955 so I won’t kill you, promise.

It may shock you to learn, but nobody gets

rich running a dog shelter. There’s usually no government funding whatever, not enough in any case. People who run private shelters depend desperately on volunteer help and donations of dog food, straw, tarps, fencing and other kennel supplies.

If you can’t donate any of these items don’t despair, cash or a check is just ducky, trust me.

Ever try to house, feed, and medicate ... 40 ... dogs, many of which arrive injured, starved or diseased?

Last but perhaps most importantly, adopt a dog from your local shelter. No, you probably won’t win best-of-breed at the Westminster Dog Show with a dog whose breed even the AKC couldn’t guess on its best day, but there are worse fates. What will happen is an expert like Carol will help you select a canine friend who will make your life richer. Someone who knows fuzzy-buddy’s personality and traits will help you choose what you are most likely to enjoy in a good dog. It’ll be healthy, have its shots, and it’ll be thrilled to see you.

If you prefer expensive purebreds, no problem, just adopt a shelter mutt to keep your best-of-show winner company. You’ll all three be happier.

Don’t forget those donations, and just a bit of your occasional volunteer help will be enjoyed by you, the shelter and the critters.

Dogs don’t ask much for their immense loyalty and friendship, but what support they do need is vital and treasured. Helping out makes for a lot of feel-good all around!

William Slusher’s latest novel is a political comedy available from Amazon, called CASCADE CHAOS or How Not To Put Your Grizzly In The Statehouse. Mr. Slusher may be insulted and complained to at williamslusher@ live.com.

Remember dad Sunday for Father’s Day This Sunday is Father’s Day... I hope you folks that still have your dad around remembered to give him a hug or a phone call. My father died at a much too early age, and I think of all the pleasures he missed by not being around to watch my children and grandchildren mature.

He was a great guy, who had little education, because he had to work to help support a large family of siblings and he would be so proud of the many college graduates in our family.

When God measures a man, he puts the tape measure around the heart... not the head!

Well, I just wasted another three hours watching a Mariner’s game. I can only imagine how bad they must feel when their star pitcher had to quit in the first inning, after the score was already 8 to 0.

Sunday, June 14th was Flag Day. I watched as they raised the largest flag in the world on a bridge in New York state, (I think). It was the size of a basketball court, 60’ X 90’ and weighed 500 pounds.

They display it on Flag Day and some other holidays, but other times is kept in a huge tube, stored on the bridge. What a sight!

The flags at the local shopping center were given a work-out last Friday as the North wind fiercely blew.

So cherry harvest is under way. Some folks crops were effected by the elements while others are OK. I think the persons with coverings over their trees will be glad they do. There are many damaged cherries which doesn’t alter the taste but certainly keeps them from the markets.

Another Friday and we went to Tonasket to the Extended Care barbecue and had the pleasure of eating with Bob Hirst and Margaret and of course many others. The weather again was very nice, before the wind took over.

While there, we met Louise (Lehrman) Kitterman and her daughter who also had lunch with friends.

Friends are like four leaf clovers – hard to find and lucky to have!

A Mass was said for Betty Descateaux Friday morning with family and friends on hand. Betty had been a resident of Extended Care for quite some time, always with a book in her hands and a friendly hello.

Celebrate Father’s Day By Investing In Your Children’s Future FINANCIAL FOCUS Sandra Rasmussen Financial Advisor 32 N Main St. Suite A Omak, WA 98841 509-826-1638 www.edwardjones.com Member SIPC Reported by Edward Jones

Father’s Day is almost here. If you’re a father, especially one with young children, get ready to add to your collection of homemade cards, ties, golf tees or other such gifts designed to please you. Your greatest gift, of course, is your children — and you would doubtlessly get great satisfaction from knowing that you’ve provided them with financial resources that can benefit their lives in many ways. So, why not use this Father’s Day as a starting point for investing in your children’s futures?

Here are a few methods for doing just that: UGMA/UTMA — If you would like to buy and sell securities for the benefit of a child, you may consider opening a custodial account known as either an UTMA (Uniform Transfers to Minors) or UGMA (Uniform Gifts to Minors) account.

You would serve as the custodian for this account, giving you control of it until your child turns either 18 or 21 (depending on your state of residence), at which point he or she would take over ownership. Investment income from

an UGMA/UTMA account can receive favorable tax treatment. As long as the child is under age 19 (or under age 24 and a full-time student) and does not have earned income providing more than half of his or her support, the first $1,050 of investment income is tax-free, and the next $1,050 will be taxed at the child’s tax rate, which is typically 10%. Investment income above $2,100 will be taxed at the parent’s tax rate.

Roth IRA — Even young children can contribute to a Roth IRA, as long as they have some type of earned income from babysitting, mowing lawns or any other type of employment. Your children can fund a Roth IRA and choose from several different types of investments — stocks, bonds, government securities, and so on — and withdrawals of contributions are tax-free. Roth IRA earnings are also tax-free, providing the investor is at least 59½ and has had the account for at least five years. A Roth IRA can be used to help provide retirement income for your children, but it also offers penalty-free withdrawals of earnings when the money is used for a first-time purchase of a home.

be sure to check with your tax advisor regarding deductibility. A 529 plan offers other benefits, too. For one thing, the lifetime contribution limits are generous; while these limits vary by state, some plans allow contributions well in excess of $200,000. And a 529 plan is flexible: If your child decides against college or vocational school, you can transfer the unused funds to another family member tax and penalty free.

Living and Testamentary Trusts — If you would like to leave a financial legacy for your children, and even their children, but still maintain some control over when they receive the money and how they can use it, you might consider speaking with an estate-planning attorney about establishing a trust. Some individuals create a trust to offer long-term support to heirs or charities after death, whether for several decades or several generations. Before you decide on any of these plans, consult with your tax and financial professionals to make sure the arrangement you’ve selected is suitable for your needs.

But however you choose to help your children, 529 Plans — If you would like to give your child your generosity will make all the Father’s Days the gift of education , earnings in a 529 college to come even more meaningful for you — so savings plan accumulate and are distributed tax consider taking action soon. free, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses. (529 plan distributions not Edward Jones, its employees and financial advisors are not used for qualified expenses may be subject to estate planners and cannot provide tax or legal advice. You federal and state income tax and a 10% IRS should consult your estate-planning attorney or qualified tax penalty on the earnings.) Another benefit to 529 advisor regarding your situation. plan contributions is that they may be deductible This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local from your state taxes. However, 529 plans vary, so Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

LAKE OSOYOOS CUP

Photos by Gary DeVon

Ready, set, race Several watercross race teams turned out at Oroville’s Deep Bay Park Saturday and Sunday for the second annual Lake Osoyoos Cup. The vent attracted racers and their support teams, mostly family members, as well as spectators to the free-to-watch event.

Watercross racing is like motocross on water, with high-speed straight-aways and hairpin turns. Since it’s on water, course conditions vary lap-to-lap. Race Director Roger Harnack said there were teams represented from the Pacific Northwestern states, as well as California. He added that there were also Canadian teams from British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Locally there were racers from Omak, including Harnack.

The event was the season-opener for the Western Canadian Watercross Association and Rounds 5 and 6 for the Northwest Jet Sports Association, according to Harnack.

Racing took place under sunny skies on Saturday and Sunday with just a bit of wind at times.

Fishing Derby hits record numbers

BY KATIE TEACHOUT KATHERINE@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

The 20th Annual Bonaparte Fishing Derby saw record numbers when 217 kids ages two to 12 pulled 430 fish out of Bonaparte Lake Saturday, June 13. According to wildlife biologist Matt Marsh with the USFS 395 of the fish were Rainbow Trout and 35 were Tiger Trout.

“This is one of the most fun events we participate in,” said Ken Chapman of Okanogan Valley Bass Club, busy on the dock helping to bait hooks and net fish.

Kids didn’t seem to mind waiting their turn in line for long stretches of time, especially when their peers were cruising off the dock with their allowed catch of two fish at record speeds. Over

600 fish were planted in the lake prior to the derby.

Other stations spread around the campground to keep kids busy and informed included a boating safety station manned

by Okanogan County Sheriff ’s Deputy Josh Petker, who said he taught close to 100 kids. Petker gave a ten-minute demonstration on hypothermia that involved putting participants’ hands in a bucket of ice water long enough for their fingers to go a little numb, and then asking them to try and grab pennies from the bottom of the bucket.

“It’s a good demonstration of what happens to their whole body when hypothermia sets in, and the reason to wear a life jacket,” Petker said.

An Aquatics station set up by

the boat launch included Fish and Wildlife with a shocker boat, and a stream table set up by Luke Cerise of the USFS to simulate erosion and how stream channels change. Dave Tobey, also with the USFS, showed off local bugs.

“We looked at a lot of bugs and identified some that only live in good quality water. So they tell a good story of the lake,” Tobey said.

An art station manned by volunteers Andre Corso, Krissy Vance and Matthew Danielson gave kids a chance to make fish imprints.

“Some of the kids came through five times; they just couldn’t quit,” said Corso. “They kept us busy for a solid three to three and a half hours.”

Generous donations by local

businesses including Scholtz Sporting Goods in Tonasket allowed for $3,000 worth of gear to be given away; fishing poles, tackle boxes and other fishing supplies.

The Oroville Sportsman’s Club provided free lunch.

The DFW provided the fish, with David Raines bringing in the Tiger Trout.

Volunteers from several groups, including the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, the Okanogan Valley Bass Club, Kin Ross Gold and American Legion Posts 82 and 84 kept the event flowing smooth despite the record crowds.

“It’s neat to see the variety of groups working together to pull this off for the common good of the kids,” said Rick Lind.

Tonasket Elementary School students were motivated to improve their reading skills over the year when five new bicycles were donated by the Tonasket PTO and the Oroville Masons as prizes for the most-improved

OROVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Dr. Seuss came to Oroville Elementary School library, in Oroville on the night of Tuesday, June 9. Well not physically, but Dr. Seuss was the theme of our literacy night.

Literacy Night was a time where members of Oroville Elementary School’s Washington Reading Corps (AmeriCorps) Nathan Haney and Ellen Newton as well as kindergarten teacher Cyley Moser provided books and entertainment for students and their families. “The night was great synergizing and a great way for our kids and families to ‘sharpen the saw!’” Moser stated.

“The more you read the more things you know. The more that you learn the more places you’ll go.” This quote from Dr. Seuss sums up the reason for having a Literacy Night. This night is a fun way to get books into the hands of the students, and to help children and their families associate reading with enjoyment.

Oroville Elementary School’s mission is to empower all students to reach their full potential.

“We like to see the students reading and enjoying books,” commented Newton, WRC member. Reading is a keystone skill that enables all other learning, helping students to achieve their goals in school and life.

June is the end of the school year and usually a very busy time, but the turnout for the Literacy Night was good with

winners.

“The bikes were introduced at an assembly at the beginning of the year, and hung in the lunchroom all year long so the kids could see what they were working toward,” said Reading Specialist Jamie Portwood. “The students were told they would be awarded the bikes based on three different reading assessments: the NWEA, the QRI and the AR/STAR test.”

First grader Ivan Martinez from Todd Mathews class improved 41 points on the NWEA. He was given his bike early, as he moved

from the area before the assembly at the end of the year was held.

Brooke Jones, from Brittany Lawrence’s second grade class, improved 39 points on the NWEA. Second grader Shei Reid from Lara Owsley’s class improved 41 points on the NWEA. Arlee Esquibel from Fay Aitcheson’s fourth grade class improved 48 points on the NWEA. Fourth grader Lyle LongSandoval from Jennifer Willson’s class improved 50 points on the NWEA.

There were other fun things to do, especially the Dr. Seuss read-aloud and students picking out their own book to take home.

Each student took home a book just for them, a “Do not Disturb Me, I’m Reading “ door sign, and a bag of popcorn.

It was reported that everyone had fun, possibly because the Grinch was not there. He was still in Whosville! Wonder who will come next year?

Let’s face it, living with hearing loss can be frustrating, even dangerous. Hearing aids can allow you to function better in all areas of your life:

Your Safety

Your Family

Your grandson’s silly secrets. Your wife’s soft “I love yous.” These are sounds you definitely don’t want to miss.

Your Work

Juniors

A car horn. An ambulance siren.

The fire alarm. Hearing loss can cause you to miss important signals that alert you to danger.

Your Happiness

If you’re missing important information on phone calls or in meetings, you may not be working at the level you want to be.

Do you feel uncomfortable at social gatherings? Are you missing the rewarding sounds of nature or your favorite music? Don’t let hearing loss affect your quality of life.

AmeriCorps volunteers on the Silver One team clear flammable brush from around a camp

AmeriCorps volunteers assist with fire recovery efforts

BY KATIE TEACHOUT KATHERINE@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

PATEROS—Eight members from AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) will be serving with the Carlton Complex Long Term Recovery Group to aid in recovery efforts in the PaterosBrewster area through July 19.

They joined the recovery group June 3.

The Carlton Complex Recovery Group has been working to restore the livelihoods of the effected communities, and to begin rebuilding the homes that were destroyed; over 300 in all.

The AmeriCorps NCCC team, known as Silver One, will be reconstructing fencing between the ranches, clearing debris and acting as volunteer coordinators.

Silver One will be working on Saturdays, the busiest days for volunteering, to aid with coordinating efforts.

As the Carlton Complex Long Term Recovery Group approaches its one-year mark, the team will also conduct a survey of the residents in the surrounding area to gauge the organization’s progress so far.

This is the second AmeriCorps NCCC team to serve with the Carlton Complex. The previous

team, called Silver Five, worked with the recovery group from April 1 to May 21 of this year; and repaired over 13,000 feet of fencing, removed 9,120 pounds of debris, and collected and transported 2,450 pounds of donated household goods. They also aided in prescribed burns, clearing of unwanted vegetation, landscaping and refurbishing of campsites.

“I think it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get a chance to help the people of Pateros and Brewster, and to be able to see a noticeable impact in the community,” said Silver One team member Eric Cabage.

Public Notices ARC NOTICE Important notice regarding Skyline Telecom: As mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), effective with the July 2015 bill, the Access Recovery Charge (ARC) will increase. For residential and single line business customers the amount will increase to $2.00 per month, per access line. Multi-line business customers will remain the same at $3.00 per month, per access line. The FCC is reducing the amount of support the Company receives from the federal universal service fund by the amount that is raised through the ARC. Under the rules adopted by the FCC, the Company must charge the ARC or lose the funds associated with the charge since that money can no longer be recovered through the federal universal service fund.

Level. Power. Domestic & Irrigation Water. Can Build Duplex or Private Home. No others like it. Good Value. $40,000.00

If you’re putting your home on the market, home staging is an important element in preparing your home for sale. The idea is to spruce up inside and outside and pack away personal items that may distract a buyer.

One family’s keepsakes are another family’s clunkers, so pack away cute photos, unusual artwork and accessories, and replace tired towels, bedding and curtains. Clean out overstuffed closets so they look roomier.

OBITUARIES

John L. Burbery “Dive in, help Tonasket Build a Pool. Let’s make the pool more than a memory,” reads a sign held by local kids who want a place to swim in the summer months.

Pool funding reaches one year mark SUBMITTED BY TONASKET POOL COMMITTEE

TONASKET - This week marks our first year of fundraising for the Tonasket Swimming Pool. To date we have raised $507,276!!

This summer watch for more pool fundraisers. The first, “Round Up for the Pool” is going on now and will continue all summer. Any time you make a purchase in town, you can contribute your change to the pool building fund - all you have to do is ask the cashier.

Also coming soon is the second Annual Duck Race to be held Aug. 22 during the Garlic Festival. Duck sales will start soon and first place is a two-man raft. The more ducks you have in the race, the better your chances are to win! Thank you for your support.
