For the second time in 14 days, skywatchers were treated to an eclipse. The moon passed directly between the earth and sun on Thursday, Oct. 22, which was visible with a solar filter. The sunspot, center, was an added “treat” as it is the largest such solar event in nearly 25 years. The weather was a bit more cooperative than for a lunar eclipse two weeks ago.

Training designed for Ferry and Okanogan county residentsTHE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

REPUBLIC - As part of a program to assist the local communities with upcom-ing change as closure of the Buckhorn Mine approaches, Kinross-Kettle River – Buckhorn is hosting a free series of train-ings and workshops designed specifically for Ferry and Okanogan county residents and businesses starting Wednesday, Nov. 5 in Republic.

The series is aimed at helping budding entrepreneurs to create new business ven-tures, as well as help existing businesses add value to their current business model.

This first training of the series, “Opportunity is Knocking: Business Development,” is an ideation exercise that encourages creativity, brainstorming and

idea generation for use in creating suc-cessful business endeavors and to help add value to an existing business. Maury Forman and Terry Lawhead, with the Department of Commerce, will share their perspective on the role of economic development and owning a business in rural communities, including discussions on targeting, customer service, product uniqueness, and economic impacts.

During this session, participants will cre-ate a fictional business and think about key aspects of their business, such as “What problem will it solve?” or “Who would buy this product?” This session will also be valuable even if you already own an exist-ing business. It may provide you with some ideas to help improve your market, or iden-tify technology/skills that could help sell your product that hadn’t been considered before.

Kinross is asking those interested to join them at the Republic School Cafeteria, 30306 E. Highway 21, Republic on Nov. 5 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30, as Forman,

Senior Manager for Rural Initiatives, Innovations and Entrepreneurship with the Department of Commerce and Terry Lawhead, Business Development Manager specializing in Retention and Expansion, deliver inspiration and education on dis-covering new business ideas and starting a business.

“Maury is skilled at teaching people how to think creatively when starting and grow-ing your business, especially in rural com-munities. He is widely recognized as a leader in rural economic development. Don’t miss a wonderful opportunity to learn from Maury and Terry’s experience,” said Deana Zakar, Community and Government Relations Specialist with Kinross.

There is no cost to attend and food and childcare will be provided. Zakar says this is a fantastic opportunity for high school seniors looking to start a business, college students, current business owners, aspiring business owners and more.

Oroville Council hears from county’s Emergency ManagerBY GARY A. DE VONMANAGING EDITOR

OROVILLE – Scott Miller, manager of Okanogan County Emergency Management, appeared before the Oroville City Council to discuss the importance of the Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, especially in light of the recent devastating Carlton Complex Fires.

“We activated the county Emergency Management Plan, said Miller, adding that while Oroville was not directly involved several cities nearer the fires were called in to help.

The Carlton Complex started as four fires that later combined into two, according to Miller.

“It cost $100 million to suppress. The

county and state had $38 million in damage and it cost the county alone just under $1 million – we should be getting 75 percent of that back from FEMA if it can be docu-mented,” he said.

Miller said at its peak on July 15 and 16 the fire grew from 7000 acres to 200,000 acres.

“It was eating up one football field per second,” said Miller.

The mudslides that followed took about one to one and a half hours and covered the Carlton-Chiliwist Road in mud 40 feet deep and took out the phone line. Miller said that FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) will not be covering that damage.

“There is still a danger of flash flooding until the end of the year,” he said.

Miller also said there were about 250 animal carcasses from cattle lost in the fire, which the state Department of Agriculture helped to bury.

“There are still deer plus everything else that will have a tough winter,” he said.

FEMA has $7 million in hazard mitiga-tion grants. If the towns effected had not

approved the Hazard Mitigation Plan adopt-ed then FEMA monies would not be avail-able to help,” he said. “Oroville has already adopted the plan and would be covered in case of a disaster.”

In addition to applauding retiring Oroville Police Chief Clay Warnstaff for his help with emergency management, he also said he felt Todd Hill, the next chief, will do well in that position.

In addition, Miller talked about a new Emergency Notification System that will be available for cities to participate in. The system, he said, is in addition to the tradi-tional EAS – Radio/TV system that most people are accustomed to – “The Emergency Broadcasting System.”

He said, “That system is limited during a power outage and if you don’t have your radio on. It wouldn’t have helped us a lot after the Loup Loup transmission line was burned.”

Miller said the county was going to invest

The annual Haunted Hayride was a “spooktacular” success, at least for those not in need of a trim. The popular event had over 200 riders this year winding their way through the orchard above Taber’s Taste of Summer Fruit Barn just north of Oroville. The hayride is sponsored by the Tabers RE/MAX Lake and Country Realty. For more photos see page B3.

Oroville drops from highest to third

Editor’s Note: We had some old information on new construction in the Oct. 9 edition, this is the updated data for this year’s new construction assessment. G.A.D.

THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

OKANOGAN – A total of all the new construction in Okanogan County took place recently and the Methow Valley School District, putting it at the top of the new construction and knocking Oroville down the list for 2014, according to Scott Furman, Okanogan County Assessor. Rather than falling to second, however, Tonasket claims that spot and Oroville was in with third highest.

The Okanogan County Assessor’s Office recently com-pleted physically inspecting and valuing for property tax pur-poses, new construction that has occurred throughout the County in the past 12 months.

The $41,727,500 in new assessed value was picked up for assessment year 2014, taxes pay-able 2015. This amount is seven percent less than the $45,057,200 that was valued in 2013. A total of $41,328,500 in new construc-tion was valued in 2012. The most new construction occurred in 2007 and amounted to $80.7 million.

This process involves the office’s four real estate appraisers going out and physically inspect-ing the improvements and deter-mining the value of the improve-

ments based upon a number of criteria including square footage, quality of construction, quality of materials used and architectural design.

Some 87 percent of this new construction can be attributed to residential construction with the remaining 13 percent com-mercial construction. This com-pares to 71 percent residential new construction and 29 percent commercial new construction in 2013.

The Methow Valley School District accounted for $13,208,200 of new construction or 32 percent of the total.

The Tonasket School District came in next with $6,508,600 or 16 percent of the total.

The Oroville School District had $5,701,200 or 14 percent of the total.

The Brewster School District had $3,656,300 or nine percent of the total. The Omak School District had $3,511,700 or eight percent of the total.

The Okanogan School District total was $1,994,600 or five per-cent of the total. The Pateros School District had $1,028,900 or 2.5 percent of the total.

Methow has led in new con-struction for several years, how-ever Oroville has taken the top spots a couple times over the past decade due to several factors, including the Buckhorn Mine, a boom in vacation and resort development and expansion of Oroville Reman and Reload. However, Oroville has dropped to third and Tonasket has moved up to second, following the Methow.

Regarding the change in new construction numbers in north

county over the previous years, Okanogan County Assessor Scott Furman said, “I can’t tell you the why as far as what is driving new construction in Okanogan County. It’s a mix of current resi-dents building as well as folks new to the area building.

Furman, who says the assessors office doesn’t track whether resi-dential building is for vacation property or not, added that peo-ple are attracted to the Okanogan for a variety of reasons.

“Valuation of new construc-tion in a timely manner by the Assessor’s Office is important to all property taxpayers as well as the 64 different taxing districts within Okanogan County,” said Okanogan County Assessor Scott Furman. “The addition of these new values to the property tax roll of Okanogan County helps lessen the property tax burden on everyone with existing value while at the same time giving the taxing districts where the new construction is located a small revenue boost.”

All property owners who have had new construction valued by the Okanogan County Assessor’s Office this year had a notice of value change mailed to them earlier this year. These notices of value change will affect prop-erty taxes paid in 2015. Furman, encourages anyone who has ques-tions regarding their new con-struction assessment to contact the office at 509-422-7190 or stop by the at 149 3rd North, Room 202, in Okanogan and talk with them. The Assessor’s Office is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on holi-days.

Methow and Tonasket top list for new construction

in a new system where people can go to a website and sign up for a variety of information.

“They can opt-in to get emer-gency notifications through email, text, landline, cell phone, social media, etc. Servers will then send out notifications to whoever signs up. It can handle up to 10,000 calls per min-ute,” he said, adding that the county will be paying out of a homeland security grant the first year.

Miller said the city could par-ticipate for sending both emer-gency and non-emergency mes-sages and that in 2016 the cost to the city would be $816 per year.

“Gives the ability to notify your people in an emergency or non-emergency. All emergencies start local and end local,” he said.

OLD BORDER PATROL STATIONCity Clerk Kathy Jones said

she had contacted representatives

at both the U.S. Department of Justice and the General Services Administration regarding the city’s interest in the old U.S. Border Patrol Station on Main Street. The building is now unoc-cupied because the agency has

moved into their new station, just south of the Port of Entry.

“They both quickly replied and sent us an application to complete and both said they look forward to working with us toward that end,” Jones said.

Clyde and Sandy Andrews, proprietors of the Camaray Motel, are opening Stateside Office Services, which will also be located in the motel offices.

THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

OROVILLE – Clyde and Sandy Andrews are expanding their services to businesses by offer-ing printing, copying, faxing and internet services to the home and business office.

The couple, who moved here from Vancouver, Wash. in 2010, are the general managers of the Camaray Motel and that’s where they’ll be opening their new busi-ness – Stateside Office Services, on Nov. 1.

“Because we are running it at the Camaray motel, people can see us during lobby hours which are from 7 a.m. - 10 p.m., seven days a week,” said Clyde Andrews.

Currently they can provide printing in full color up to 12’ x 18’ on both sides, copies and color copies, fax sending and receiving, computer with internet

access and printing capabilities, laminating, document shred-ding (both in-house or rent their machine), as well as some design services.

“We will add services if there appears to be a need for them. For example, if several people would like us to provide vinyl lettering, then we would con-sider expanding into that,” Andrews said. “Or, for example, there is no one in town selling cell phone services, we might consider that.”

For now their production cen-ter is a small room behind the front desk of the motel.

“We may eventually need to expand into a neighboring store front,” he said.

The Andrews have been doing this kind of stuff already for the chamber, community events, and neighboring businesses.

“When our current color print-er quit working, we decided to go for a much more robust machine and offer our services official-ly,” he said. “We might be the only such business in the North County. And when it comes to things like fax sending and receiving, or emergency printing needs, we are probably the only ones in the whole county that are open 15 hours a day, seven days a week.”

Although technically the couple are the managers of the Camaray Motel, they say they have virtual owner control of everything from pricing to mar-keting to improvement priori-ties. They also own and operate Stateside Self Storage.

Stateside Office Services is located at 1320 Main Street in Oroville and the phone number is 509-476-3684.

Stateside Office Services has much to offer businesses

Katy Tibbs

is Retiring

October 31!

Katy Tibbs is retiring from OK Chevrolet after 15 years of service. She started for Hedlund Chevrolet in 1999 and continued to work for the dealership af-ter it was sold to OK Chevrolet. Katy is a lifelong resident and a Tonasket High School graduate. In 1966 Katy married Danny Tibbs and they had three sons and now have 6 grandchildren. They have been Orchardist since 1972. Their son Adam has taken over the family operation as general manager to keep the tradition going. Katy will be missed not only for her hard work ethic, but her pleasant demeanor and positive attitude.

So drop by Friday afternoon for cake and coffee to help us celebrate her retirement.

classroom was located at the south-east end of Oroville Elementary.

Flower boxes, started as a Senior Project, now adorn the space

and are the responsibility of the students located in adjacent class-rooms. The newly beautified space

makes a good place to study in good weather and the students can

OROVILLE - One can’t help but notice the beautiful flower boxes at the elementary school these days: A stark difference from the old portable that was quite the eyesore for years.

With the help and vision of many people this project has unfolded into a wonderful area for the students. Gabreilla Capote and Stephany Cisneros, who graduated in June, headed up the efforts to complete the area for their senior project. A few staff members and community mem-bers really helped them make it a reality.

We couldn’t name all the peo-ple who took care of the flower-boxes over the summer because we would miss some names, but there were the likes of Tedi Fletcher and others who helped the elementary principal all sum-mer to keep the boxes watered and free of weeds. Many people would just walk by and help pull weeds if they saw them and the custodians often watered them

when the principal wasn’t around.The classrooms that have win-

dows next to the boxes are the classrooms responsible for their care and did the planting of the boxes last spring These are the classes of Heather Kelly, John Ragsdale, Billy Monroe, Cynthia

Poynter). The teachers knew that they were going to be in their current locations, so each class planted the box near to the teach-er’s current room.

Teachers and students are plan-ning on collecting seeds from the boxes this fall, drying them

out, and replanting them inside around April. In May or June we will have our students plant the seedlings we have grown.

Several classes allow students to complete assignments or read out in the new reading garden when the weather cooperates.

OROVILLE - Over the sum-mer the Oroville School District upgraded its library software and also purchased its first round of eBooks for its library collection.

With the board’s heavy empha-sis on putting technology into students’ hands, it made sense to also add a digital collection

of books for the students to our library. Several classes already use iPads to access their textbooks and curriculum taking advan-tage of the many advantages they have over a traditional textbook, not just in weight, but also in functionality. eBooks allow much more interaction with the user and give students much more up to date and relevant information.

Library books can be checked out via the new library catalog that is found online, which is connected to our main eBook provider, OverDrive. Students and families can check these books out on their iPads, Kindles, and other devices anywhere they have access to the internet. Students can also go online and reserve hard-copy books to pick up later. The research tools available are extremely useful and readily available to students. Students are not limited to only using their school issued device.

The North Central Regional Library also uses OverDrive. The District has partnered with the NCRL, which also gives our stu-dents access to their ever-grow-ing collection of eBooks. Oroville students can access both libraries using by using their District user-name and password. If a student

has a device at home, but doesn’t know this information, all they need to do is check in with the librarian. The initial purchase focused on books for grades K-6, but librarians in both buildings are actively working on purchas-ing books for all ages.

There are many advantages of eBooks including the fact that you can fit 100’s onto a single device. From a librarian stand-point, there is also never an issue of books being late either. When books are checked out on a device, it only remains on the device for a limited time before being auto-matically returned. There is no need for shelving and inventory-ing as it’s all done electronically. eBooks also have features like an instant dictionary and thesau-rus that otherwise would have to be toted around. With internet access, many eBooks have links to websites where additional infor-mation can be gathered at the touch of a link.

Is the District abandoning the traditional hardcopy book com-pletely? No, but times are chang-ing fast and eBooks are becoming more and more popular. Some folks really enjoy the look and feel of a nice book, but more and more people are also getting used to and enjoying eBooks, espe-cially the younger generations.

Accessing the Oroville School District library is as easy as going to our website at oroville.wednet.edu and clicking on the library tabs. There is also a link to the NCRL website on our main page. To use eBooks on devices, you will need to download the OverDrive app. It is our hope that students and parents will take advantage of this new resource by using it today to Read, Read, Read!

When diagnosed with breast cancer, women are oft en fi lled with questions. What is the survival rate? Can breast cancer spread to other parts of my body? What does this mean for my fam-ily? Such questions are common, and it’s perfectly alright and even ben-efi cial for women diagnosed with breast cancer to ask as many ques-tions as possible to better under-stand the disease. Th ough each in-dividual’s experience with breast cancer is unique, upon diagnosis the doctor will determine which stage that cancer is in. Determin-ing the stage of the cancer is based on:* the size of the cancer* if the cancer is invasive or non-invasive* whether or not the cancer is in the lymph nodes* if the cancer has spread to other parts of the bodyUpon diagnosis, the doctor will also discuss if the cancer is local, regional or distant. Local means the cancer is confi ned to the breast, while regional means the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, most likely those in the armpit. If the doctor says the cancer is dis-tant, that means it has been found in other parts of the body. If the tumors involve the breast skin, the underlying chest structures, have changed the breast’s shape, and enlarged the lymph nodes, the doctor will then likely determine the cancer is locally advanced or regionally advanced. Survival rates have increased dramatically over the last 30 years. Much of this is thanks to research, but increased awareness of breast cancer has also played a role in the signifi cantly improved sur-vival rates. Part of that awareness includes taking steps as a young woman to reduce risk for breast cancer. Steps such as adopting a healthier diet, learning about family history with breast cancer and undergoing routine checkups can greatly improve a woman’s chances of beating breast cancer. Survival rates depend on a host of factors, including the stage of the cancer at diagnosis. Women who understand the stages of breast cancer and the role they play in surviving the disease might be more inclined to take steps that reduce their risk.* Stage 0: Th ough the best breast cancer diagnosis is no diagnosis at all, women diagnosed with stage 0 breast cancer can breathe some-what easy. Stage 0 means the can-cer is noninvasive and there is no evidence that the cancer cells or the noncancerous abnormal cells have spread beyond the part of the breast where they originated.* Stage I: A stage 1 diagnosis means the cancer is invasive, and the cancer cells are beginning to invade normal cells around the breast tissue. However, a stage 1 diagnosis means the lymph nodes have not been invaded.

* Stage II: Stage II is divided into the subcategories of IIA or IIB. A stage IIA diagnosis can mean any of the following:- no tumor has been found in the breast, but cancer cells are in the lymph nodes under the arm; or- the tumor in the breast is 2 cm or smaller and has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm; or- the tumor in the breast is be-tween 2 to 5 cm but has not spread to the lymph nodes under the arm.A stage IIB diagnosis means the cancer is invasive and:- the tumor is between 2 to 5 cm and has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm; or- the tumor is larger than 5 cm but has not spread to the lymph nodes under the arm* Stage III: Similar to stage II, a stage III diagnosis will be divided into subcategories. But stage III breast cancer will be diagnosed as IIIA, IIIB or IIIC. In stage IIIA breast cancer:- no tumor is found, but can-cer has been found in the lymph nodes under the arm; these lymph nodes will be clumped together or sticking to other structures or the cancer may have spread to lymph nodes near the breastbone; or- the cancer is any size and has to spread to the lymph nodes under the arm, which are clumped to-gether and sticking to other struc-turesA stage IIIB diagnosis means:- the cancer may be any size and has spread to the skin of breast and/or the chest wall; and- the cancer may have spread to the lymph nodes under the arm, where they will be clumped to-gether or sticking to other struc-tures; or the cancer may have spread to the lymph nodes near the breastbone.Symptoms of stage IIIB breast cancer can include reddening of a signifi cant portion of the breast skin, swelling of the breast and a warm feeling at the touch.A stage IIIC diagnosis means:- there may be no sign of cancer in the breast- if the there is a tumor, it can be any size and may have spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast; and- the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes above or below the collarbone; and- the cancer may have spread to the lymph nodes under the arm or near the breastbone.* Stage IV: A stage IV diagnosis means the cancer has spread be-yond the breast and local lymph nodes to other organs of the body. Th is can include the skin, bones, liver, lungs, distant lymph nodes, or even the brain. A stage IV diagnosis might be a recurrence of a previous breast cancer, but it’s also possible to get a stage IV diagnosis at fi rst diag-nosis.

Awareness and knowledge are your friends when fi ghting breast cancer

through self-examsand mammograms, is your best chance in

overcoming the disease. Do yourself and those

you love a favor.Make an appointment

with your doctor to have a mammogram

and fi nd outwhat you can do to

decrease yourrisk factors.

Early detection...

Early DetectionOne of the earliest signs of breast cancer can be an abnormality that shows up on

a mammogram before it can be felt. Th e most common signs of breast cancer are a lump in the breast, abnormal thickening of the breast, or a change in the shape or color of the breast. Finding a lump or change in your breast does not necessarily mean you have breast cancer. Additional changes that may also be signs of breast cancer include:

Any new, hard lump or thickening in any part of the breast. Change in size or shape. Dimpling or puckering of the skin. Swelling, redness or warmth that does not go away. Pain in one spot that does not vary with your monthly cycle. Pulling in of the nipple, nipple discharge that starts

suddenly and appears only in one breast. An itchy, sore or scaling area on one nipple.It is important for women to practice the elements of good breast health. It is

suggested women obtain regular mammography screening starting at the age of 40.Obtain annual clinical breast exams, perform monthly breast-self exams and ob-

tain a risk assessment from a physician.Th is information was acquired from the American Cancer Society, 1-800-ACS-

2345. Or www.cancer.org.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month We have all been touched in some

way or know someone who has been aff ected by breast cancer. Because of

this, it is important to off er support to those in every stage of this disease as

well as those who are beating the odds and now stand as survivors.

The pos-sibilities of lowering firefighters from air-planes on National Forests are being explored by the U.S. Forest Service. If this proves to be practical, many hours travel time can be saved and many more fires can be stopped when they are small.

50 Years Ago:October 22 -29, 1964: NOTE: Some of the

articles in this weeks paper were written by stu-dents of the Oroville High School Journalism

Class. (By Walt Hart III) According to a statement made at the last Town Council meeting, some of the buildings on South Main Street, will be torn down. These build-ings have long been a “thorn in the side” to the looks of Oroville’s Main Street. A fire hazard as much as a beauty problem, the buildings will be torn down for the lumber in them. (By Jim Cockle) The fuel bin at Zosel’s Lumber mill caught fire at 7:15 p.m. Sunday, October 18. The fire was started by sparks from the smoke stack which fell in dry shavings. The automatic sprinkler system put out the fire. (By Jim Cockle) With a wide open race for the Caribou League Trail Championship, the fourth ranked Oroville Hornets club will tackle the first ranked Chelan Goats here Friday night. The local Hornets, in league competition, have two wins and two losses compared to the Goats record of four wins and one loss. (By Pat Ogle) THE FREE NEWSPAPER: To silence the newspaper or to mold them into government puppets, which print only the accepted propaganda, is the first aspect in our freedom dictators and tyrants would try to cripple. To cut this lifeline from feed-ing the truth and information in our country would de a disaster. Our founding fathers had good reason to prized liberty, to safeguard the freedom of speech and press. They had tasted ruthless power and despotism which they had just overthrown. “Dan Evans, candidate for governor, has pledged his full support of the North Cross State Highway” it was announced by Charles Hulsey of Oroville, vice-president of the proposed highway. “This announcement is a tremendous boost for our efforts to have the highway completed at the earliest possible date,” Hulsey said. The Department of Interior has approved a pro-posed repayment contract with the Oroville-Tonasket Irrigation District of the Okanogan-Similkameen Division of the Chief Joseph Dam project, Senator Jackson said recently.

The Gazette-Tribune

25 Years Ago:October 19 -26, 1989: Back in 1985, two

Tonasket ladies decided to toss their hats into the ring of small business. It was Mardi Gras (now known as Harvestfest) in Tonasket and the two, Lila Yeckel and Eva Scweikert, stationed themselves in the back of a cano-pied pickup truck with a hand lettered sign above them declaring “New Apple Products.” At that moment V & B Apple Products began. Interceptions by the Tonasket Tigers pave the way for an important 21-10 win for that club last Friday night. It was the Victory Bell game, but more important to the Tigers was the win that kept them in the hunt for the state playoffs. Shots rang out on Main Street here last Thursday morning, as Oroville Police Chief, Al Rise, was forced to shoot and kill an armed man who had threatened his life. The shooting took place in front of several witnesses, who confirmed that David Brian Peatroy, a 34-year-old Englishman had indeed took aim at the policeman and said that he was going to kill him. It’s been said about cemeteries, ”People are just dying to get in.” That may soon become a problem in and around Oroville. For three years, the Oroville Cemetery District No. 4 has not received any tax monies to help offset the $27,800 yearly budget needed to maintain the cemetery. A special levy will appear on this November’s ballot to approve an addi-tional $.11 per $1,000 assessed valuation that would give the district about $11,000. It is now up to the voters. The plight of the Old Peerless Restaurant and Lounge may soon come to an end on December 1, as the building, which has been closed for debt pur-poses five years ago, is auctioned by the U.S. Marshall’s office. The U.S. Marshall will give the previous owner an opportunity to pay the money owed, in this case, $147,000.00. If this is not paid, then the Marshall will give a bid of an unknown amount and if any person beats that bid, the normal redemp-tion period for reclaiming will be eliminated and on payment of the bid, the bidder will receive a warranty deed to the property. The Oroville Homecoming Royalty are pictured as being: Queen, April Noel surrounded by her Princesses, Freshman, Angela Welch; Sophomore, Stephanie Retasket; Junior, Jenifer Gee; Junior, Brandy Beanblossom; and Seniors, Kimberly Lyonois and Erin King.

Merino wool at the landfill?Dear Editor

I would like to contact the man who was about to dump the good part merino wool at the land-fill....That was too good a wool to dump. We have an upcoming outlet for the small farm sheep grower to get a reimbursement

out of their good wool.There is a potential for a wool

mill here in our valley. It is the north american wool co-op (N.A.W.C.) with a group of local people working hard to get it up and running within the next couple years. We are already tak-ing names of people who have or will have wool to go. The hope is for each wool producer to get the

returns for his own wool back. Also, price of wool on the open market is quite a bit higher than it used to be. This organization hopes to bring the market back for the local small farmer.

Contacts are: Vicki Eberhart 509-485 3232, Sally Facer 509-485 3262 or, of course, yours truly, The Spinning Wheel Lady, Betty Roberts 509-476-3571.

Smoke, check it out before callingDear Editor,

Greetings friends, neighbors and others. At approximately 11 a.m. on Oct. 15th five reports of smoke were received by 911 in Tonasket. Likely the orchard-ist didn’t call Okanogan County Dispatch about the burn. The Controlled Burn smoked, wet fuel does.

Firetrucks were unnecessarily dispatched. People, please, if you do not know the source of the smoke, do not panic and call 911. Go check it out first. Fire is a tool in Okanogan County

Ray RabTonasket

The events of last Friday, the school shooting in Marysville, just add to the confusion regarding what’s happening in our country. Why did this young boy have access to a legal firearm and what sent him over the edge? It’s just conjecture on my part, but passing a measure like I-594, closing the “Gun Show Loophole” in this state, probably wouldn’t have made a difference. That’s not to say that the polls don’t show most gun owners in the state favor the measure, it just wouldn’t have kept the gun out of the kid’s hand.

The shooting struck pretty close to home for my family as my nephew lives in Marysville and like the shooter and many of his victims, is a freshman in high school. No, he didn’t go to Marysville-Pilchuck High School, although at the time the television news started covering the shooting I wasn’t sure of that. I had to call my mom and she said he went to Lakewood, which is actually in Arlington, Wash. Still the relief I felt was soon replaced by despair as the news that several of the shooter’s friends were targeted and at least one, at the time had died. The shooter also took his own life.

We are still learning things – some of the vic-tims were not only his friends, but were related to the him. The crime was premeditated– he had sent a text asking them to meet him in the

cafeteria. He was a popular kid and not bullied and seemed to have a lot going for him. How do we comprehend his actions? It just doesn’t make sense. Could it really be as simple as a reaction to being rejected by a girl like some are saying now? Would that really send him over the edge like that? What’s changed in America?

Growing up in rural America, it wasn’t unusual for kids to come to school with rifles in gun racks mounted in their pickup trucks. They were just taking advantage of hunting opportunities before and after school. At Oroville it would have been unimaginable for one of our fellow students to go, get his rifle and threaten someone with it. Get into a fist fight maybe, but not try to really kill someone or multiple someones.

While school shootings certainly didn’t begin at Columbine, they must have been pretty rare back in the 1960s and 1970s (at least I don’t remember hearing of any back then). We had the worry about nuclear war ever present in the backs of our heads, but I doubt there is a kid in high school now who doesn’t think “what if ” – what if one of his or her fellow students were to go over the edge.

Reaction to bullying seems to be used as the excuse, however after these types of rampages, as they are coming to be defined, we often find out there was no bullying involved.

As long as there is easy access to guns there will be the potential for some broken kid to think shooting someone is the way to take out his or her frustrations. I’m not sure all the mental health care in the world will catch all the potential Eric David Harris, Dylan Bennet Klebold or Jaylen Frybergs out there.

I don’t have the answers and with each school shooting it seems to get harder to even venture a guess. While the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings of kindergarteners in Connecticut started the debate again in earnest, like all the shootings before it was starting to just fade away, only to be taken up again like it did last Friday when Fryberg shot five of his friends and then himself.

Fabulous 50’s fundraiser dance Nov. 15SUBMITTED BY ELLEN BARTTELSNORTH VALLEY COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

North Valley Community Schools would like to wish you a happy Halloween! We would also like to remind you to save the date Saturday, Nov. 15 for the NVCS annual 50’s dance. There will be hamburgers, floats, sun-daes, prizes, awesome live music and a great time to be had by all!

Is Your Dog Training You?

Coming up on Monday, Nov. 3, this class will be six sessions and is for dogs six-months-old or older. Are you training your dog or is your dog training you? Come find out, and then learn how to make sure you are the top

dog in the relationship.Candle Making Coming up on

Thursday, Nov. 6, this class will show you how to make mold-ed taper candles. Just in time for the holidays, these candles will look great on your dinner table! To sign up for these class-es and more call Ellen Barttels at 509-476-2011. North Valley Community Schools is seeking a member for the board of direc-tors. Come bring new ideas to the table and help NVCS continue to offer great times and interesting classes for the community.

October ended with Halloween and here we go into November. Are you ready for that?

With November, our thoughts turn to Thanksgiving. Do we cook or do we get invited. Our thoughts shouldn’t be first of food, but somehow, that usu-ally comes to mind with most holidays. And then I wondered if the former Linda’s Bakery, who had spearheaded free Thanksgiving dinner for those with-

out family, for a lot of years, would hap-pen this year. I was told that Eva’s, the new owner, had a donation container so, that would indicate she will host the day again, as she did last year.

Now that the burn ban has been lifted, the weeds and other junk are too wet to burn, as we’ve had several days of sprinkles and light rain.

I missed the first day of hamburger’s at the Legion, but remember that each

Wednesday the “M&M’s” are on hand to cook you a delicious hamburger and accompaniments, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

If you’ve wondered about the closure of Trino’s… the sign on the door says they’re cleaning/painting and all the other stuff that has to be done to keep on top of things. He’ll probably get the sign on top of the building repaired, that has been out of order when a big truck damaged it, quite a while ago, and he’ll be ready to serve you a good Mexican dish of your choice.

I was glad to learn that the Missoula Children’s Theatre group are once again com-ing to Oroville schools. The date is Nov. 14th and 15th. Will get the time later.

Have you gotten your flu shot yet? Some do and some don’t. Some get the flu and some don’t. It’s up to you to make the decision.

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that young Noah Hilderbrand shot his deer, left handed, as he had a broken

arm. I didn’t know at the time his sister, Lilly had shot a bear and Hannah and Lilly each shot a deer. A pretty successful hunting season for those youngsters.

It was reported at church last Sunday that Glen Hauenstein was having a bout with pneumonia, and opted to return to his home instead of going to Wenatchee hospital. Hopefully he has improved by this time.

Doris Hughes has been away attending the wed-

ding of a grandson, which was held in Arizona.

It’s always nice to hear from Mary Ellen Lemmond, who was a resident in Oroville, some while back, but moved to be closer to family, due to health reasons,

but she faithfully keeps in touch with friends she made during her time spent here.

The next Red Cross blood drive will be Wednesday, Nov. 5 at the United Methodist Church, from 12 noon to 5 p.m. located 908 Fir St. And following close by on Nov. 8 will be the annual spaghetti dinner and bazaar. For those that can’t “do stairs,” seating will be available upstairs.

What a happy occasion with friends and family from many directions, to help Vern Ritter celebrate his 90th birthday, at the Free Methodist Church, last Sunday.

City Hall will soon have an empty chair in the office that has been filled with Kathy Jones, as she is retiring after 40 years. Her long years of knowledge of the workings of the city have made it easier for others, because I’m sure when questions , concerning the past have arisen, it would be so easy to say, “I don’t know, ask Kathy.” Best Wishes to her on her retirement!

Highland Hooters meet for a tea partyBY MARIANNE KNIGHTHIGHLANDS CORRESPONDENT

Another busy week in Paradise. On Monday during the day the Highland Hooters hosted their Annual Tea Party in Chesaw. There were 58 ladies in atten-dance all dressed in their finest including the Red Hats.

The hall was decorated after church with Red and Purple plates, napkins and tablecloths. It is awesome to see an empty room turn into a show room for ladies. The rest of the decorations were in the same colors. The food for lunch was great and lots of fun was had making the changes on the silent auction items. I am sure they all had a good time and are looking forward to another tea next year.

On Wednesday we attended the Knob Hill Home Economics Association monthly meeting. Plans were made for the Annual Chesaw Christmas Bazaar to be held in the Community Building on Saturday, Nov. 8. from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be some new venders this year with items from the farmers markets.

much more. The Club will feature a Bake Sale with lots of goodies. Do you need fire starters made from pine cones? The Country Kitchen will be open for lunch with Chili Dogs with the works. The Club is also having a raffle for a Ruger 10/22 and 500 rounds of ammunition provided by Al’s Sporting Goods. Second place is a Leupold 8X42 Rogue Binoculars and third place is a Columbia River Knife and Tool hunting knife. Tickets will be available at the Bazaar $5 per ticket or five tickets for $20. The draw-ing will be held during the 2015 Chesaw Fourth of July Rodeo. Need not be present to win. For more info call Mike Bricker 509-485-2397. Tables are available at $10 each for the Bazaar by calling Marianne at 509-485-2103.

Come to the Bazaar and get a start on your Christmas shop-ping.

Thursday was Flu Shot Day. Both the clinics in Oroville and

Tonasket had special days for shots. They were really busy.

Saturday was Harvest dinner in Havillah at the Lutheran Church. This is one of the best potluck Suppers on our Hilltop. There was a big crowd and the food was great.

On Friday night Oct. 31 at 7 p.m. at the Chesaw Community Building come to the Fall Festival for kids. Lets give our kids a Halloween Alternative.... like some fun games, fun food and a special Christian story. and of course some candy. Fun Non-scary costumes are a must. Sponsored by the Stand In the Gap Believers.

On Nov. 11 at the Mercantile in Chesaw the Chesaw Community Biblle Church will be Honoring our Veterans from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Come on in and have a free cup of coffee and some goodies with some of the local veterans.

Last Monday over in Molson the pinochle players had a good time,with 36 in attendance the High’s went to Joe Guber and Bev Holden, The Low’s went to Ray Vissar and Nellie Paulson and the Traveling went to Harold Harper.

There will be a free Thanksgiving Dinner at the Chesaw Community Building on Thursday, Nov. 27th. The dinner is free to all that come. Eat your fill of turkey with all the trim-mings and dessert. See you there.

Members pay a visit to Esther Bricques WinerySUBMITTED BY AUDREY HOLMESTONASKET GARDEN CLUB

On Oct. 13 the Tonasket Garden Club travelled to a fam-ily owned winery called Esther Bricques Winery and Vineyards at 43 Swanson Mill Road south of Oroville.

The owners, Steve and Linda Colvin, have been running the winery for 15 years. There are about 12 acres of vines. We were curious as to where the winery’s name came from. Linda, who is a teacher, knows chemistry. She explained Esther is a feminized pun of ester, is a chemical class

of the compounds of fragrance. Bricques is a ‘Frenchified’ pun of brix which is the measure of sugar content. Together they are “Sweet Fragrances.”

She told us of the many com-plications of wine making and we watched hands on outdoor the juicing of the grapes and tasted several different kinds and also tasted the grape juice in different stages of wine in the large vats inside.

In growing grapes the vine-yards are bothered by thousands

of starlings who damage the grapes when they eat the leaves, so netting is put over the vines to protect them and a different kind of net is used to protect them from the wind at different levels. They have to watch the cold tem-peratures and rain as well.

Besides growing grapes, inside the the tasting room they have pictures, paintings and wall plaques and books for sale. after the tour we ate our sack lunches and and Linda offered grape juice and coffee and hors d’oeuvre. We had a meeting afterwards and Wendy Taylor gave a program on canning and drying zucchini.

We encourage guests and new members to attend. The num-ber to call for time and place is 509-223-3427. The next meeting will be held at Barbara Hansen’s home on Nov. 10 at 1:30 p.m.

The Tonasket Garden Club visited Esther Bricques Winery south of Oroville. While there the club members not only learned about the winery’s unique name, but also learned about many of the facets of growing and caring for the grapes that are used to make the winery’s many vintages. Members were given a tour of the vineyards and learned about wine making from the winery’s owners Linda and Steve Colvin.

League schedules out for 17 teamsSUBMITTED BY GAI WISDOMNORTH VALLEY POOL LEAGUE

The schedule is out! We shoot our first games on Wednesday, Nov. 5, at 7 p.m. It’s posted at all the places where we play and many captains and others got it via e-mail.

There are 17 teams this year so

there will be “byes.” Bailey’s Bugs will have the first one. Seventeen teams also means a potential for 102 pool players in Oroville, Tonasket and Chesaw every Wednesday night for 17 weeks.

America’s Family Grill is a new

venue for us this year and we would encourage you to get your team together and get in there to try out the tables. These will be Lew’s Brew Crew’s home tables. Most of the league has stayed much the same. Some teams swapped some players and teams will be playing out of different houses but, for the most part, it will be a comfortable and fun season. Wednesday, Nov. 5 isn’t that far off so get your team together, chalk those sticks, and let’s Play Pool!

Soccer team primed for playoffsBY BRENT BAKERBBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - There have been other landmark wins in the Tonasket girls soccer program’s history, but probably none more significant.

After years of coming close, the Tigers knocked off Central Washington League-leading Okanogan 2-1 on Thursday, Oct. 23, leaving open the possibility of sharing the league title (if Liberty Bell beat Okanogan on Tuesday). It also set the stage for what the TIgers hope will be a long post-season run.

“We finally got them,” said Tonasket coach Darren Collins, whose teams had never beaten the Bulldogs in his six years of coaching. “Holy cow. We finally played two complete halves of soccer.”

Some of the frustrating losses of the past few years include a 4-2 defeat ear-lier this season in which the Tigers led 2-0; losses of 2-1 and 1-0 last year; and a 1-0 loss in the opening round of district tournament play in 2012.

Jaden Vugteveen’s 30-yard rocket from near the sideline slipped inside the upper corner of the far post to provide the game-winning goal with about 15 minutes to play.

In a physical, playoff-caliber con-test, the Tigers put together the kind of game Collins has been waiting for most of the year. Heading into the game he shuffled his lineup, particularly up front, where he moved Vugteveen to the outside and Ashlynn Willis to the middle. And that paid off for the Tigers in a big way.

“We really wanted to keep the offen-sive pressure on,” Collins said. “In the first half (of the teams’ first meeting) when we had the offensive pressure on them we were able to keep possession of the ball more too and keep them run-ning backwards. That was the goal.

“I hoped by moving Jaden outside it would add to the pressure from out there. And then they started double-teaming her, and that really freed up Ashlynn and Morgyne (Hjaltason) in the middle.”

Okanogan held the early edge in both possession and physicality, but after freshman goalkeeper Madison Gariano made a tough save about 10 minutes in, play evened out. Neither team man-aged many quality scoring opportuni-ties through most of the first half.

Ashlynn Willis nearly broke the ice with a high, hard shot that Bulldog keeper Cameron Moses nudged harm-lessly over the crossbar.

But minutes later, Willis’s no-look back pass to twin sister Kayla set up a low, hard shot that Moses deflect-ed. Rose Walts, crashing the goal, slid between the diving Moses and a Bulldog defender to punch the rebound in and give the Tigers a 1-0 lead.

“Rose really found her step at the Oroville game,” Collins said. “She just

came alive. She was making runs per-fectly, holding the ball and taking the shot at the right time, good firm shots right to the corner. She found her stride and carried it over. She was bodying up their defenders hard. It’s great to see.”

Okanogan’s (14-3, 12-1 CWL) Jill Townsend missed just wide on a shot off a corner kick as the half expired.

“We really wanted to avoid those dang corner kicks,” Collins said.

Collins was right to be concerned; the Bulldogs scored in a post-corner kick scramble in the 64th minute as Keanna Egbert poked the ball in during a goal front scrum.

But the deadlock lasted only about a minute as Vugteveen set up a few yards outside the goal box and lofted a high shot into the far corner of the goal that was all but impossible for Moses to reach.

“You couldn’t have asked for a better shot,” Collins said.

From then it was hang on time as the Bulldogs pressed for the equalizer and the Tigers compressed their defense into an ever smaller area. Gariano was forced into making a couple of tough saves, including a leaping grab of an Okanogan corner kick with Townsend bearing down on her, to secure the win.

“Okanogan is definitely bigger,” Collins said. “As a team they’re probably faster than we are too. But I would like to think the twins have better footwork than anyone in the league.

“I feel good about our chances against anyone if we play two halves the way we played today.”

The Tigers (13-2, 11-2 CWL) open district tournament play with a home contest on Saturday, Nov. 1, at 1:00 p.m, likely against St. George’s from the Spokane area.

TONASKET 8, OROVILLE 1OROVILLE - Tonasket topped its

rivals on Oroville’s senior day behind hat tricks from Ashlynn Willis and Rose Walts. Megan Bolich and Kayla Willis added single goals.

Kambe Ripley scored for the Hornets, while Xochil Rangel kept busy with 23 saves.

“It’s always a tough game against Tonasket, and I felt we were a lot better prepared vs. the first time the girls met up,” said Oroville coach Tony Kindred.

The Hornets, still playing without substitutes, played the last few minutes down ap player after Ripley went down with an injury.

“She had an amazing game all over the field,” Kindred said. “The girls worked really hard to shut down the Willis twins, who are great athletes. But this time around Rose Walts came on strong.”

The Hornets closed out their season Tuesday at Bridgeport.

“The girls continue to work hard and look forward to competition as they understand it’s bringing them closer to their goals,” Kindred said.

LIBERTY BELL 5, OROVILLE 0WINTHROP - The Hornets fell

at Liberty Bell on Thursday, Oct. 23, despite narrowing the margin from a seven goal loss earlier in the year.

“The girls have played better defense in the second half of the season,” Kindred said. “They’re still playing hard.”

Xochil Rangel finished with 13 saves and Tori Kindred led the Hornets with three shots on goal.

“Overall the girls have shown great improvement in ball movement and communication on the field,” Kindred said. “Oroville continues to improve on defense and the girls are consistently spending more time on the opponents side of the field sending more shots on goal.”

Loss sends Tonasket to playoffs with league’s third seedBY BRENT BAKERBBAKER@GAZETTE-TRIBUNE.COM

TONASKET - It’s no secret that stop-ping Okanogan’s big plays on offense is the key to beating the Bulldogs.

Knowing that and stopping it are two entirely different matters.

Tonasket put together its best overall effort of the season Friday, Oct. 24, but couldn’t overcome Okanogan’s strong suit in a 35-20 loss.

With just one non-league game remaining, the Tigers are assured of the Central Washington League North Division’s No. 3 seed and will travel to the South Division’s No. 2 next week in a winner-to-state, loser-out league cross-over. That likely means a rematch with Warden, barring any upsets this week.

“Our kids are disappointed,” said Tonasket coach Jay Hawkins. “But when we look back on this game, we got to the fourth quarter and we had a shot. Their big plays really get you.”

Only one of the Bulldogs’ scoring plays came from less than 45 yards out. The tally include rushing touchdowns of 55 yards (Tyler Morris), 45 yards (Greyson Fields), 46 yards (pass to Morris from Ben Cate) and 80 yards (Riley Prescott kickoff return).

“That was our concern,” Hawkins said. “I’ve watched them play so much on tape. They ‘big play’ the heck out of you. I thought we responded well. Early in the game when they got up, it looked like it could be a difficult night.”

In other respects, the Tigers played the game they wanted. Tonasket had several long, time-consuming drives, and pos-sessed the ball for all but two plays of the third quarter.

Part of that was due to Prescott’s kick return, which came after Isaiah Yaussy-Albright’s 24-yard run cut Okanogan’s halftime lead to 21-13. But with Albright having a huge game - including a 96-yard run in the second quarter - the Tigers were never out of it.

“We had some decent drives,” Hawkins said. “We had to attack them differently than our usual base stuff. But we were successful with our little inside cutback plays. Isaiah really, really played well on both sides of the ball.”

Okanogan played keep-away through most of the first quarter, taking a 14-0 lead after starting the game with a Tiger-like 12-play, 53-yard drive capped by an 8-yard Jalen Moses run.

Tonasket nearly found itself in an impossible situation after committing a rare turnover inside its own 30-yard line. Moses had a 28-yard screen pass for a touchdown erased by a penalty, and the Tigers stopped Morris just shy of a first down on the 4-yard line.

Albright broke loose up the middle for his momentum-shifting run, shucking off a Bulldog defender as he neared the end zone.

Trailing 21-7 at the half, the Tigers took the third quarter kickoff and move 64 yards on seven plays to cut the Okanogan lead to eight.

But Prescott took the kickoff, waited patiently for a hole to open, then scooted down the sideline 80 yards to seize the momentum back for Okanogan.

“It was the perfect way to start the third quarter,” Hawkins said. “But that

kickoff return was just a thing of beauty. They’ve got some real speed out there, but that was just some real patience, and when it was set up he just accelerated right through there.”

Needing to score quickly, the Tigers were forced to pass, which hasn’t been their strength all season. But Colton Leep completed 6-of-8 passes for 61 yards in the second half as Brock Henneman had a pair of first down grabs and Elias Abrego making a leaping fourth down, 6-yard touchdown catch in the corner of the end zone for the Tigers’ final score of the night.

“My receivers really made some catch-es tonight,” Hawkins said. “Elias’ catch was really pretty. With what we were able to do in our passing game, gives us some extra confidence that we can hit that stuff.”

Albright finished with 185 yards on 22 carries to lead the Tigers. A key to the game for Okanogan was the Bulldogs’ ability to keep the Tigers’ Jorge Juarez from getting the ball anywhere with room to run, holding him to 23 yards on 13 carries.

“Jorge never found any space tonight,” Hawkins said. “He’s a great runner in space but Okanogan didn’t allow much space.”

Morris led Okanogan (7-1, 5-0 CWL North) with 166 yards on 20 carries. Okanogan takes on Brewster (also 5-0 in league) with the league title on the line this Friday. Brewster handed Okanogan its only loss of the season in a non-league contest, 30-21.

The Tigers (5-3, 4-2) are done with league play and host Omak in their final regular-season game, Thursday, Oct. 30.

WINTHROP - The Tonasket cross country teams’ top two runners missed Saturday’s Central Washington League finals meet. Of course, no one was about to blame Hunter Swanson and Johnna Terris for traveling with the rest of their FFA state championship team to the national convention in Kentucky.

They also didn’t miss a beat without them.The Tigers were declared the winners of a small girls com-

petition in which no one fielded a full team, while the boys were runner up to Liberty Bell.

The Tonasket girls actually were missing half their team as Terris was out of town, while Haley Larson was injured and Baillie Hirst was ill.

But Camille Wilson, Katie Henneman and Jenna Valentine made that a moot point as they took off together from the outset. Wilson led from start to finish, while only Kayla St. Pierre of Lake Roosevelt cracked the top three at any time during the race.

Wilson finished the 5k course in 22:33.3, followed by Henneman (22:46.1) and Valentine (23:02.5).

Tonasket coach Bob Thornton said he felt it helped Wilson to be forced to run her own race from the front, instead of keying off of teammate Terris.

“We had some athletes step up and run their best races of the year,” he added.

Liberty Bell dominated the boys race, with five of the top nine finishers and finished with 27 points. Tonasket (70) edged Lake Roosevelt (78) for second. Manson (99), Riverside Christian (107) and Bridgeport (112) rounded out the team scoring.

Adrian McCarthy finished 10th in 19:03.76 to lead the Tigers.

Bryden Hires (14th, 19:33), Abe Podkranic (16th, 20:05), Justin McDonald (19th, 20)21), Smith Condon (20th, 20:30), Samuel Strandberg (22nd, 20:37), Rade Pilkinton (30th, 21:27) and Adam Halvorsen (38th, 22:44) also ran for Tonasket.

“Adrian, Bryden and Abe ran great races,” Thornton said.Bridgeport’s Oren Cox won the race in 17:06.4. He and Ben

Klemmeck of Liberty Bell were running neck-and-neck head-

ing into the stretch run, but Cox pulled away after Klemmeck slipped and lost his balance on the wet grass.

Oroville did not compete in the race due to a transporta-tion issue.

The teams will travel to Walla Walla Point State Park in Wenatchee on Saturday, Nov. 1, for the District 5/6 Regional race. The top three boys teams (and 15 individuals) and top one girls team (5 individuals) advance to the following week’s state finals in Pasco.

BRIDGEPORT - Oroville’s football team never gave up on a difficult season as the Hornets ran through a gauntlet of oppo-nents from larger schools.

If there was any pent-up frustration at their 1-6 record, the Hornets took that out on Bridgeport on Friday, Oct. 24, overwhelming Bridgeport 63-7.

“I think getting through that tough part of the schedule really paid off with the kids’ attitudes,” said Oroville coach Tam Hutchinson. “When we came off the field after the Brewster game, they were pretty pumped. They knew they’d stayed with a really good team for three quar-ters.

“They kept that energy up all week.”

The Hornets’ fans hadn’t aban-doned ship, either, as they helped vote the game into the winner’s cir-cle as part of Tom Sherry’s Tailgate Party (KREM television) contest. With TV news crews from Spokane on hand, Dustin Nigg scored six touchdowns - three on offense, three on special teams - to single-handedly score more points than the team had in the last month.

Nigg scored rushing touch-downs in the first half of 36, 19 and 25 yards and returned a punt 83 yards for a score. Oroville scored 35 points in less than nine minutes of the second quarter to take a 49-0 halftime lead.

“Dustin just had a tremen-dous game,” Hutchinson said. “The past couple weeks he’s had renewed energy. He’s still (banged

up) but he’s doing everything we know he’s capable of.”

Logan Mills added scoring runs of 16 and 36 runs, while Nathan Hugus connected with Andrew Mieirs for a 78 yard touchdown pass.

“Logan’s really started running over people,” Hutchinson said. “And Andrew’s not a big guy, but in the last few weeks we’ve seen him really start to beat those defensive

backs and get his hands on the ball.

“Nathan has really improved too,” he said of his sophomore quar-terback. “He’s making better decisions every week.”

With a running clock in the second half, the

Hornets actually didn’t score on offense in the final two quar-ters. But Nigg took the second half kickoff 91 yards for a score, and after the Hornet defense held the Mustangs to a three-and-out, Nigg took the ensuing punt 55 yards for a score.

Nigg also kicked 9-of-9 PATs, giving him 45 points for the game. He finished with 107 rush-ing yards on five carries. Mills added 78 yards on nine carries. Hugus completed 5-of-9 passes for 113 yards.

EZ Delgado had six solo tackles and five assists to lead the defense.

The Hornets (2-6, 2-3 CWL North) head to Liberty Bell on Friday, Oct. 31.“Liberty Bell has had a tough year,” Hutchinson said. “The past couple years (Oroville wins of 28-27 and 30-27) were tough games for them and they’ve been look-ing forward to this game all year. This would make their season if they could beat us; we really can’t afford to give them any leverage.”

TONASKET - Neither Tonasket nor Oroville have won a lot of volleyball games this year, but don’t tell that to their fans.

The Hornets swept the Tigers 25-22, 25-23, 25-12 on Thursday, Oct. 23, to even their season series before a crowd as loud and raucous as any basketball crowd has been in recent years.

The Tigers led by as many as 10 points in the first set before the Hornets roared back to take the lead and set the tone for the rest of the evening.

“We started out very slow, and I was worried,” said Oroville coach Nicole Hugus. “Then we got our momentum going and came from behind to win.”

The Hornets pulled out a close-ly fought second set, but domi-nated the third set from start to finish.

“In the second set we were looking better,” Hugus said. “In our third set our energy was up and we played great together.

“We struggled with our serv-ing, but so did Tonasket.”

The Hornets improved to 2-11 on the season (all in CWL North play), while the Tigers fell to 2-15 (2-11 CWL North).

Both teams closed their season out on Tuesday, Oct. 28.

Oroville stats: Rachelle Nutt 3/5 serving, 34/36 passing, 5/7 hitting with 4 kills; Mikayla Scott 14/16 serv-ing, 18/19 passing, 19/23 hitting, 4 kills, 9 tips; Hannah Hilderbrand 8/12 serving, 12/15 passing, 12/14 hitting, 3 kills, 6 tips; Andrea Perez 19/20 serving, 1 ace, 1 hit, 6 tips; Jessica Galvan 2/4 serving, 19/22 passing, 10/13 hitting, 2 kills, 4 tips; Monica Herrera 7/7 serving, 1 ace, 15/15 passing, 4/5 hitting, 2 tips; Courtnee Kallstrom 2/3 passing; Sydney Egerton 8/8 serving, 2 aces, 3/3 passing, 1/3 hitting.

MANSON 3, OROVILLE 1MANSON - Manson sisters

Maddee and Baylee Ward made it a long Senior Night for the Hornets as the Trojans topped Oroville 25-14, 25-17, 25-19.

“We struggled with pass-ing errors against a good, hard-hitting team,” Hugus said. “We had some highlights, with four blocks by Hannah Hilderbrand and good serves by Andrea Perez and Rachelle Nutt, but overall we definitely did not play our best.”

With the loss, the Hornets were eliminated from contention for a district tournament spot.

LAKE ROOSEVELT 3, TONASKET 0LAKE ROOSEVELT - Lake

Roosevelt avenged an earlier defeat to the Tigers and kept the Raiders’ post-season hopes alive with a 25-16, 25-17, 25-13 sweep on Tuesday, Oct. 21.

“We got a sound beating,” said Tonasket coach Pam Leslie. “(They had) great serving, and we were unable to transition out of serve receive.”

Rachael Sawyer had four kills and one block to lead the Tigers.

A Highland Wonders EventSUBMITTED BY JULIE ASHMOREOHA CONSERVATION COORDINATOR

TONASKET - Not only are Great Gray Owls the largest owl in North America with the larg-est wingspan, their stature and countenance spark a sense of wonder. With alternate names such as “Great Grey Ghost,” and “Phantom of the North,” they inspire awe and pique our curios-ity. On Friday, Nov. 7, Highland Wonders will provide a view into how these amazing owls survive in the Okanogan Highlands. From unique adaptations for locating prey, to behaviors for defending their nests, to strate-gies for successful breeding, these masters of silent flight are sure to capture your interest.

“These owls are elusive but once you see your first, you’ll never forget the experience,” says speaker Matt Marsh, Wildlife Biologist with the Tonasket Ranger District. “I hope to share my knowledge and experiences with others who are curious about this incredible owl that hunts and breeds in our forests and grass-lands, and also to learn from resi-dents who live with them on their property.”

Matt Marsh is responsible for managing the National Forest lands in the Okanogan Highlands for a variety of species, which includes the Great Gray Owl. Every year the Forest Service sur-veys for Great Gray Owls around restoration projects to see where they are nesting and foraging. Managing the owl’s very specif-ic habitat is important because the Okanogan Highlands has one of the largest populations in Washington State. The Highlands area provides the unique hab-itat of forest cover, intermixed with open meadows that Great Gray Owls call home. Matt has worked as a wildlife biologist for eight years, after working as a for-ester and firefighter in the area. Growing up in the Okanogan Valley, Matt has firsthand knowl-edge of where to find these char-ismatic owls and has spent many nights and early mornings out searching the forests for their presence.

The event takes place at the Community Cultural Center (CCC) of Tonasket, beginning at 6:30 pm, with a dinner benefiting the CCC at 5:15 pm. The theme for the evening’s food will be, “Fall’s Good Bounty.” Jean Pfeifer will prepare a bean and pumpkin soup recipe that was very popu-lar last fall. Along with the soup will be bread, an apple/walnut salad with a cranberry vinegar dressing, and desserts in keeping with the theme. The dinner will be $7.50 for CCC members and $8.50 for non-members; there is no charge for the presentation.

OHA is a non-profit organiza-tion that works to educate the public on watershed issues. The Highland Wonders educational series features the natural his-tory of the Okanogan Highlands and surrounding areas. OHA’s Education Program, which is

offered free of charge, is designed to build the capacity of the com-munity to steward natural habi-

tats and resources by helping increase awareness of local natu-ral history. Donations are always

welcome. Details are provided on OHA’s website: www.okanogan-highlands.org/education/hw.

The Hughes family made special note of Forrest and Joyce Boyer who were in on the start up of the Discount Fireworks company. They were lauded for their support during those early days. Forrest Boyer, above, gets the royal treatment, as well as a “long hair” hat to model. In addition to all the great food, drink and entertainment for adults and kids, there were also door prizes, a drawing for a rifle, a guess the amount of cash contest, and of course, a spectacular fireworks display.

Making sparks flyWhile Discount Fireworks,

owned by Jack and Mary Hughes of Oroville, might not

manufacture the fireworks they sell all over the state, the party

they threw for the many people and organizations that sell

them certainly generated some fireworks on Oct. 18 at the J&M

Warehouse. Above, the Hughes hold a check for $12,504.80

to the Independence Fund, a charity that provides motor-

ized chairs for veterans that are capable of going off-road. The

money was raised through sales of a special $49 fountain at all the Discount Fireworks stands

this year. “We wanted to buy two, but we sold enough to buy one chair this year. Our goal is

to sell enough for two next year,” said Jack Hughes.

SHIRLEY MAE THOMPSON

Shirley Mae (Jones) Thompson, loving Mom and Grandma, after a long struggle with illness following a broken back, went home to the Lord on October 18, 2014, peacefully at her home on Elmway, where she received lov-ing care from Rick and his wife Linda for her last few years.

Shirley was born in the back of a car on Salmon Creek June 3, 1929, to Evan and Ruth Jones. Shirley grew up on her Dad’s ranch on Pine Creek, just east of Fish Lake. She worked the ranch during WWII when the boys were gone fighting. During that time she was teased by an older ranch hand, that she wasn’t strong enough to do the work. She told

him she could take him out if she wanted. He laughed and told her he would buy her a milkshake if she could knock him down. She cold cocked him. She never got the milkshake, but she also never got teased about doing the work again!

Along the way she met this fine young fellow from Okanogan, Raymond Thompson at the Loup Loup Café in Okanogan where she was working as a waitress. They went to dances at the old Grange Hall on Pine Creek and had a fun time building memo-ries there. Shirley and Ray were married on June 11, 1948, and began raising a family shortly thereafter. Richard (Rick), Linda, Shari, and Kenneth followed over the next few years. While Ray went to work at the Okanogan Dairy, Shirley helped, working

at J.C. Penney for many years, retiring in 1991. During those years they lived most of the time on Elmway, where they not only raised their four kids, but helped raise five foster children as well.

Shirley was preceded in death by her parents, Evan and Ruth Jone, her brothers Tom, Lewis, and Jack, and sister Marj (Bevier), her loving husband Ray and her son Kenny. Surviving are her brothers Charles (Peewee) and Billy, her sisters Frankie (Fowler) and Margaret (Johnson), her son Rick, daughters Linda and Shari, 11 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.

Services will be held at the Okanogan Baptist Church on Sunday, November 16, 2014 at 2:00 PM. Memories are invited, and a potluck in the Church will follow.
