OKANOGAN – A man arrest-ed for breaking in to, and burglar-izing, the Okanogan Eagles was tattled on by his court ordered monitoring ankle bracelet.

“You just can’t make this stuff up,” said Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers in describ-ing the arrest of Kyle A. Snyder, 22, of Omak.

Tracking the ankle bracelet also led to the identification of his alleged partner in the bur-glary, the recovery of money and seizure of drugs hidden in a teddy bear.

On the morning of Tuesday, March 4 county deputies responded to the Fraternal Order of the Eagles North 2nd Ave. in Okanogan regarding a burglary at the building. Deputies found that suspects had pried open the back door with what looked like crow

bar. They also discovered the suspects had cut the phone line once inside and they tried to get into another room but were unsuccessful but did exten-sive damage to the door. The suspects dam-aged other doors in the building and were able to pry open a small safe and stole approxi-mately $2000 cash from it. The suspects attempted to get into anoth-er safe and an ATM machine but were unsuccessful, according to Rogers.

Deputies then watched surveil-lance video from cameras that

are installed at the Eagles. In the video they could see two sub-jects at the side of the building at

approximately 1:43 a.m. The video shows the suspect, who are wear-ing hoods and masks break into the build-ing and there is video of the suspects inside of the Eagles. The video also shows that the suspects left and returned to the building several times over two hours, part of

the video is the suspects back in the Eagles at 4 a.m.

“This is where it gets good… After leaving the scene deputies discussed the method of the bur-

glary and who had knowledge where things were. They also agreed from other information they had obtained that Snyder was becoming a person of interest. Snyder had also been arrested for breaking into the Eagles back in 2012,” said Sheriff Rogers.

However, deputies believed Snyder, a for-mer Oroville resident, was still in jail await-ing his time to go to prison on other charges. When they checked on Snyder’s status, they discovered he had been released and was currently wear-ing an ankle monitor through Friendship Diversion, a company that does monitoring. Deputies went to Friendship Diversion and pulled up Snyder’s monitor his-tory, according to the sheriff.

“That’s right; Snyder wore the ankle bracelet to do the burglary.

The history on Snyder’s monitor showed that he went to from the Eagles several times that night and the times on the history also

matched the surveil-lance video obtained from the Eagles,” said Rogers.

The history also showed deputies where Snyder went every time he left the Eagles. Deputies went to Omak and located Snyder at his mother’s residence.

Snyder was arrested without inci-dent and was later booked into the Okanogan County Jail for burglary in the second degree and malicious mischief in the first degree.

After Snyder was booked dep-uties went to the Motel Nicholas in Omak where the suspect had gone several times that night. At the motel they discovered the vehicle that was used in the

burglary and they also ques-tioned Alyssa A. Descoteaux, 19, Omak, who was staying in the motel room. After the interview Descoteaux was arrested for pos-session of methamphetamine and booked into the Okanogan County Jail. She was not charged with burglary.

Deputies returned to the Snyder’s mother’s home and contacted family members who the sheriff said were being coop-erative with law enforcement. Deputies recovered approxi-mately $400 dollars in cash and 32 grams of Methamphetamine, valued at approximately $2000.00

“Snyder had hidden the stolen cash and the Methamphetamine in a teddy bear,” the sheriff said.

The next day a search war-rant was done on Snyder’s vehicle, Methamphetamine was the only thing found in the vehicle. On

TONASKET – A former Omak police officer was arrested at 58 Oakes Drive in Crumbacher after shooting at the feet of his son’s ex-girlfriend.

On Thursday, March 6 at around 4:30 p.m. Okanogan County Sheriff ’s Deputies responded to a call in reference to a shooting south of Tonasket. When deputies arrived they contacted Brianna A. Hicks, 35, of Tonasket and she advised

deputies that earlier in the day that she and her boyfriend, Tyler J. Kion, 23 of Tonasket, had broken up. Hicks said she had lived at the residence with Kion and his father for several months, according to Sheriff Frank Rogers.

“Hicks said she went to the residence to pick up her belongings and when she was walking up to the house, Douglas G. Johnson, 47, of Tonasket, the father of Kion came outside and confronted her at the gate,” said Rogers. “Johnson was car-rying a .223 caliber rifle as he came out of the house. When Johnson got to the gate he lowered the rifle and fired one round into the ground at Hicks’ feet.”

The woman said she left immediately and went to another residence to call

OROVILLE – This will be Kathy Jones’ last year as city clerk/treasurer for Oroville. She made the announcement at the city council’s Tuesday, March 4 meeting.

“I have a a target date of retirement after the happy fun day of Halloween,” said Jones, who with her staff are known to dress up in costume and decorate the city hall each year.

Jones said she has worked under seven mayors, three city superintendents of public works and ten police chiefs.

“There are some projects I’d like to have her stay on long enough to get com-pleted and to train someone else,” said Mayor Chuck Spieth, who along with the council, applauded Jones for her 40 years of service to the city.

SIMILKAMEEN TRAILHEADChris Branch, director of Community

Development, reported on the Similkameen Trailhead, which is owned by the county, but is within the city limits at the end of Kernan Road.

“We’re not getting a lot of communica-tion from the county,” said Branch, who said the commissioners would like to get the trailhead finished and “out of their hair.”

The trailhead was originally on prop-erty purchased by the city to serve

the Similkameen Trail. The trail, part of the county’s trail system and the Pacific Northwest Trail, follows the old Great Northern railway bed along the Similkameen River, across the bridge and on to about the old powerhouse for Enloe Dam. In an agreement with the city, the property was deeded over to the county and leveraged to gain money to make improvements. Branch said the county would prefer that Oroville maintain the trailhead.

“They were interested in developing it then, but at that time we had a different set of commissioners. What kind of own-ership would we want... should we ask to take back the deed or do we want them to keep it?” asked Branch.

Trailhead improvements, such sig-nage, have been done. Those that remain include a better parking area, a covered shelter and restrooms, according to Supt. Noel. While originally the plan called for running water and flush toilets con-nected to the city’s sewer line, Noel said he had considered changing to tank-type that could be open year around.

“We were going to work with them on installing the utilities,” said Noel. “They would buy the fixtures and we would install them.... I’m not even sure where we are at now.”

The city has a sewer line that goes down Kernan Road and Noel said he was again considering facilities with running

OLYMPIA-“Lobbing for Change: How a Bill Becomes Law” was the theme of the annu-al 4-H Know Your Government conference held in Olympia, Wash., Feb. 15 through 18.

Representing Okanogan County are 4-H members Alexie Howell, Baillie Hirst and Brisa Leep. The teens traveled to Olympia with 4-H leader Marcie Howell and Mira Hirst. Marcie Howell is this years’ 4-H county KYG coordinator. The county delegation joined over 300 4-H members from throughout Washington State to participate in the legislative process.

Months prior to the confer-ence, through pre-conference orientation meetings, the teens learned about the Legislature and how it works with the other two branches of government; the executive and judicial; and how a bill becomes law in Washington State. Each county delegation was given the option to pick a bill from a list of active bills con-

sidered by the legislature dur-ing the 2013 Legislative session: Education, Children and Family Services, Transportation, and Natural Resources/Environment.

At the conference, the teens took on the role of lobbyist. They learned that in order for a bill to pass through both chambers, the supporters of the bill have to take into the considerations of many groups. The delegates realized that they have a huge voice in this

process, “I was surprised to learn that anyone can speak about a bill before the legislature” voiced by one of the delegates. “Now, if there’s an issue that could affect me, I would definitely stand up and speak about it—in my com-munity and at the state level.”

The opportunity for Okanogan County’s 4-H delegates’ par-ticipation was made possible by Kinross, Okanogan County 4-H Leaders Council, private dona-

tions; and statewide contributions from Microsoft and Chevron.

law enforcement. Deputies sur-rounded Johnson’s residence and attempted to get him to come out of the house using loud speakers but there was no response from the residence.

“After about 15 minutes depu-ties called the residence and were able talk to Kion. Deputies instructed both of the subjects to exit the residence which they did,” said Sheriff Rogers.

The deputies obtained state-ments at the scene and then arrested Johnson for first degree assault, domestic vio-lence. According to the sher-iff, Johnson, who was uncoop-erative with law enforcement at the scene, was transported to the Okanogan County Jail and booked.

“Hicks was not injured in the incident but was hit in the leg by what appeared to be a piece

of gravel. Deputies were able to recover the bullet from the ground where Johnson had fired his weapon. The weapon was also

located in the residence and con-fiscated,” Rogers said, adding that Johnson is a former police officer for the City of Omak.

OLYMPIA — A new trans-mission line from Pateros to Twisp would mean more reli-able electricity for residents in the Methow Valley.

Currently relying on a more than 60-year-old line along Highway 20, the PUD would use this new transmission line as a backup in case of a power outage.

But during the past sever-al years, controversy has been building over where to put the new line.

Okanogan County Public Utility District No. 1 wants the new line to follow the Methow River Valley instead of going over Loup Loup Pass, where the cur-rent one is located.

In doing so, the PUD would need to build some transmission towers on state school trust lands, something that Peter Goldmark, commissioner of public lands, is fighting against.

In May 2013, the Washington Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the PUD, saying the agency had the right to condemn state trust lands for the purposes of a transmission line.

Attorneys from the PUD and the state Department of Natural Resources made final oral argu-ments before the Washington

State Supreme Court on Feb. 25. A decision in the case isn’t expected for several months.

Paul Lawrence, legal counsel for DNR, argued that because there is no legal precedent for this type of decision, the appellate-court ruling should be reversed.

“There is no case in this state that has ever allowed a local enti-ty to condemn state land that is being used in any way,” Lawrence said.

The land in question is current-ly being used for cattle grazing, and the money goes to support public schools. The five active grazing leases and two grazing-permit range areas generate less than $3,000 per year, according to the published opinion of the Court of Appeals from May 2013.

During Lawrence’s argument, Justice Sheryl Gordon McCloud paraphrased RCW 54.16.050, which gives the PUD the right to condemn school lands for trans-mission lines.

“It seems pretty specific,” McCloud said to Lawrence.

But because the lands are cur-rently in use, they are not subject to condemnation, Lawrence said.

Stephen DiJulio, the PUD’s attorney, argued that the fact these are state trust lands and are in use, does not exempt them from condemnation.

DiJulio quoted the Public

Lands Act of 1927 that defines state lands as lands that are not set aside for a specific purpose.

“School trust lands [are] a subset of that definition of state lands that the Legislature has said, ‘They are not devoted to, or reserved for, a particular use by law,’” he said.

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the PUD, reestablishing the Court of Appeals’ decision, it may open to door to more cases of land condemnation. But, until a decision is made, a change in the PUD’s ability to more broadly condemn state lands in the future is unclear.

“It really depends upon the scope of the decision,” Lawrence said in an interview.

Based on the arguments in the Supreme Court, he says he thinks several justices are concerned about the lack of limits the PUD would have in future condemna-tion cases.

DiJulio was unavailable for comment.

Planning for the transmission line project started in 1996.

The PUD is trying to obtain an easement of about 100 feet along 12.2 miles of state school trust land. The project would also require the construction of about 22 miles of new roads for installation and maintenance purposes.

water because extending the line could help improve the service to the entire area.

“I was the one that brought up the tank-type toilets, but I’m not even sure I would want them in a residential area. However, we couldn’t afford to heat running water ones in the winter so they’d have to be closed.

“There is some benefit to our system by doing them with run-ning water, we could make a loop and alleviate a dead spot,” Noel said.

An added benefit of installing bathrooms at the trailhead is that they could also be used by people at the nearby soccer fields.

“I think we should stick to the original plan because it benefits the city both ways,” said Mayor Spieth.

Noel said he thought the city had committed to do $10,000 to $12,000 in labor for the project.

Jones asked Branch and Noel to find out what the costs to the city will be as it was not included in this year’s budget.

The city will continue to work with the county to try and answer the question of who would own the trailhead if the city agreed to do the maintenance on it. Branch

said that the county now has a per-manent engineer on staff that can sign off on projects like this one.

Library renovationThe city plans on doing some

major renovations to the Oroville Library with funds that have been set aside over the past several years. There are also funds that have been raised by the Friends of the Library to help pay for the renovations.

City Superintendent Rod Noel and Building Inspector/Permit Administrator Christian Johnson recently completed an inspection of the library from top to bottom, including the attic and basement, to see what walls could be moved to change the libraries layout. Johnson, who was not at the council meeting, but was at a recent staff meeting, reported that the building would not need to have fire sprinklers installed at this time because it is not big enough, however, it should have two bathrooms and that they would have to be brought up to ADA code.

“We told him the council would like him to draw up some specs and to come up with some

cost estimates,” said Jones.“That was a very positive meet-

ing, Rod was able to give a lot of insight regarding the structure of the building and all that,” said Mayor Spieth.

Noel said that they had taken a lot of photographs regarding taking a wall out, which they concluded would be possible. However, the post would not be able to be removed.

“We need a common beam where we pull the wall out,” said Noel.

Jones said the final cost esti-mate will help to make the final decision on how much renova-tion can be done.

“There are a couple of things I have been kicking around that might save us money,” Noel said.

Street repair bidThere were four bidders on the

resurfacing of Central and Cherry Streets, according to Jones. The lowest bid came in at $551,557, while the high bid was $692,091. The council accepted the low bid.

“This was a little over the engi-neers estimates,” said Jones, who said the project will next go the Department of Transportation for authorization.

Thursday deputies went through Snyder’s ankle bracelet history again to see where else he had gone that night. They discov-ered that Snyder had gone to a local convenience store in Omak which has surveillance cameras. Deputies went to the store and viewed the film and the time on the ankle bracelet history.

“What they found was right after the burglary Snyder comes into the store wearing the same clothing and driving the same car, which he used during the burglary. They also were able to identify the second suspect, who was in the car with Snyder,” said Rogers.

Deputies were able to identify Ryan P. Gregory Jr., 28, Everett, as the second suspect. Gregory was seen getting out of the vehicle wearing the same clothes which were caught on camera dur-ing the burglary at the Eagles, according to the sheriff.

Deputies searched all day for Gregory but were unable to locate him and information leads them to believe he had returned back to Everett. A warrant is being sought for Gregory, but Rogers asks that anyone that has any

information on him contact the sheriff ’s office.

“It should also be noted that Snyder is also being looked at for several other burglaries that occurred a few months ago. Another video from a burglary three months ago shows Snyder breaking into the business, wear-ing the same clothes and carrying the same backpack that he was

using during the Eagles burglary on March 4,” Rogers said.

The investigation into this and the other open burglary cases is ongoing.

“The deputies in this case did an excellent job and we appreci-ate the help from Snyder with the video and GPS coordinates, really makes our job a lot easier,” said Rogers.

NVH UNVEILS NEW OCCUPATIONAL/PHYSICAL THERAPY SITE

North Valley Hospital hosted an open house in the Verbeck Building, where it recently complet-

ed moving the physical and occupational ther-apy facility. Included were a tour of the facility,

which includes several treatment rooms (above); a demonstration by Duane Verhasselt of how

occupational therapy patients are re-trained in the use of common kitchen activities; exercise

equipment in the far-more spacious former din-ing area; and free three-minute massages cour-tesy of massage therapist Darrel Verney (right).

The treatment areas provide far more privacy than in the department’s previous location.

Sound Oxygen: your compete respiratory equipment center

I get a lot out of reading Clayton Emry’s Items of the Past every other week. It serves not only as a reminder of what I was writing about 25 years ago, but how much of what was happening then is happening again. It is kind of bittersweet to think that Clayton stopped using back issues of the G-T from the late 1970s, some 10 years ago. My name won’t be showing up amongst the school news any more, but that means I’m another 10 years older that my class is looking at their 35 year reunion this year. Nowadays the Items from the Past reminds me of the subjects I was writing about in my early days at the paper.

I don’t remember articles from 50 years ago (thank heavens) – some of the names yes, and sto-ries from the old-timers, but I was unable to read them when they came out. Fifty years ago Oroville was electing Walter Hart to the city council, of course that was Walt Hart II, our current council-man Walt Hart III’s dad.

Fifty years ago the Hornets were having a win-ning season on the basketball court; then it was the boys, this year it was the girls (making regionals for the first time ever). The International Cup Organizing Committee was having trouble sched-uling a regatta and as then, the Apple Cup appears to be off for this year. And, 25 years ago the voters in the Tonasket School District voted down a major construction and renovation bond issue – falling just short of the 60 percent majority it needed. Sound familiar?

The 1989 Wayne Verbeck was president of the Tonasket Kiwanis. He was teasing Oroville about being “North Tonasket,” a jibe at the Oroville club which sponsored them 40 years earlier and gave them a “South Oroville” banner. Unfortunately the Oroville Kiwanis Club is no more, but it’s great to know the Tonasket club and Wayne) are still going strong and should be celebrating 65 years this year.

This year we might not have a powerboat race, but there are plans to hold jet ski races on Lake Osoyoos, which sounds exciting. Especially since local jet skiers and their craft are invited to compete. Our local powerboat racers, Scott Thorndike and Eric Jones, always had the most diehard fans when they raced, so it will probably be true of the anyone from north county that competes.

Clayton’s column is a good way to keep in touch with our past – unfortunately the 1914 issues of the Oroville Weekly Gazette seem to be missing, so he’s been filling in with Molson Leaders from 92 years ago. As you can see this week in 1922 there was a lot of competition between the Oroville and Molson Schools, especially in basketball. And, there was snow falling in the Highlands in March, just like Marianne Knight reports in her Hilltop Comments this week. According to the Leader back then there was over a foot. Much of the Molson news concerned crop and livestock prices, but some of the names from 92 years ago have a familiar ring.

Although there were no reports in this week’s Items from the Past, my favorite articles from the Leader are about law enforcement’s struggle against the bootleggers who took advantage of our proximity to Canada to smuggle booze into the states. A great source for stories about the sheriff’s battle against bootleggers is a little book called “Scraps form a Hellbox” written by Carl M. Cleveland. If you like reading about early day Okanogan County and ever get a chance to read this book by a former Okanogan Independent reporter I recommend you check it out.

Combing through the old back issues takes a lot of work and we’re lucky Clayton is willing to do so. Choosing what to include and what not to can also be hard. I know I have to be careful because once I crack open one of those yellowed “bound” copies it’s addictive and hard to stop reading and get back to researching what I was looking for in the first place. Whether you’re new to the area or an “old-timer” we hope you enjoy reading Clayton’s column as much as we enjoy bringing it to you.

The Molson Leader

92 Years Ago:March 8-15, 1922: The Oroville High

School basketball team defeated the Molson Union High School team in an evenly matched game at the local school gymnasium Friday evening by only one point with a final score of 20-19. The Molson play-ers were: P. Dunlap, M. Dunlap, McDowell, Keith Rose and R. Henderson. The Oroville squad included: W. Burnham, V. Curtis, Curtis, R. Griffith and Bob Killian. The Welch Meat Markets at Spokane, received 12 head of buffalo last week from the Allard herd at Ronan, Montana. The meat was retailed at 25 cents per pound for roasts, 35 cents for steaks and 15 cents for stews. The entire quantity was sold out in one day with customers vying with each other to secure the unusual meat. Highway contracts awarded February 28 show 60 cents now is doing on state road work what $1.00 would do two years ago. This is a tremendously important fact in view of the circumstance that the legislature of 1921 authorized more than $3 million for new work for which no one could foresee revenues enough to pay for it. About 14 inches of snow fell here the latter part of last week, making the total amount of snow here at the present time the greatest that has been for many years according to the statements of pioneer settlers. The snow was badly drifted by the wind Friday and many roads are blocked. More snow has con-tinued to fall here for the past several days. Frank Greer has just been forwarded a call for jury duty in Kansas. As jurymen there received a mileage of ten cents, Mr. Greer has sent a request for tickets, however, he does not expect the request will be granted.

The highest price paid for springlambs in the state this year was brought at Prosser recently, when 1000 animals, fattened by the state experimental station, were sold at 12 1/2 cents per pound live weight. At Yakima, a marble tournament for the boys of the city, open to lads of 12 years or under. Elaborate rules have been worked out and elimination contests conducted to bring only stars to the tournament. A baseball throwing contest will conclude the tournament.

The Oroville Gazette

50 Years Ago:March 5 - 12, 1964: The citizens of

Oroville will elect a new mayor and three council members at the General Election to be held Tuesday, March 10, 1964. Two can-didates have filed for the office of Mayor of Oroville for a 4 year term. They are Bernice Marchant and John R. Mears. Those applying for the council positions are: Position No. 1, 4 year term, Wayne Callison; Position No. 2, also a 4 year term, Edward Northcott and Position No. 3, an unexpired two year term, Walter A. Hart Jr. (Walt Hart II) An early morning fire completely destroyed The Oroville Meat Packing Plant, located along the Okanogan River at the south city limits. The owner, Ed Boothman, discovered the fire

at about 2:00 a.m. Boothman said Wednesday, that with the 13 beef carcasses and one hog, the loss would exceed $50,000. The loss of the plant was not only a loss to the Boothman’s but was also a loss to the community as well. The Oroville Hornets closed out the 1963-64 season by winning third place in the District Tournament, defeating Cashmere 60-53. The Hornets dropped their first round game to Quincy, 66-56 to eliminate them for the State Tournament. The Hornets finished with a creditable 11 win 7 loss season record, placing second in the District Tournament. Voters in Oroville turned out in Tuesday’s General City Election. The Mayor position was filled by John Mears, with 163 votes while Bernice Marchand collected 80 votes. All three council positions were filled with the incumbents, with Callison collecting 227 votes, Ed Northcott with 220 votes and Walter Hart, Jr. with 226 votes. George Mears, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Mears, was named the winner of Oroville High School United Nations Pilgrimage contest. This was one of the most spirited contests in years at Oroville. The other four finalists were: Jacquie Watson, Kristine Landreth, Emmett Lorz and Arlie Clinkenbeard. Weather Wise, by Marge Frazier, Official Observer:March 4, Maximum of 42 degrees and mini-mum of 26; March 5, 50 and 30; March 6, 45 and 28; March 7, 42 and 16; March 8, 42 and 24; March 9, 47 and 25 and March 10, 44 and 28.

Alternative High School Students are worth it

Dear Editor,Dear Voters: We, the students of the

Tonasket Alternative High School, were con-cerned when we found out the Tonasket School District Capital Improvement Bond did not pass this month. We are writing this to let our community know that we ARE worth it!

For some of us, the Alternative High School was our last shot at success. We are students who have felt bullied, left out, forgotten, or ignored. Some of us have social anxiety. Some of us have had tragedies in our lives that have made it difficult to focus, or keep up in a large school. Some of us were failing a few, or even all, of our classes and felt like there was no help for us. Some of us were ready to drop out of school. Instead we have been welcomed and have found success. Since coming here, our grades have improved. Our classes are structured to include more one-on-one help from our teachers and we are able to learn so much more.

We know now that we are students who, if given the chance, CAN succeed. The Alternative School demands the same stan-dards to graduate as the regular high school. We just need an “alternative” approach. We hope that voters in our area will come to learn this. We invite members of the public to con-tact our school with any questions that would help you get to know our program better. We ask that you keep an open mind and give our school a chance. We need a new, safe building that will serve future alternative students. We ARE worth it!

Sincerely,The Tonasket Alternative High School

Grangers need helpDear Editor,Grangers need help from outside and

inside, too! I’m back: calling on Oroville folks for help keeping the grange building and organization going in our town. There are paid Grange members out there not very often showing up to help us in our efforts serving Oroville as it is used to doing. And I don’t think some of our “new to the town” folks realize what all the Grange stands for... some didn’t even know we have a building available for folks to use.

We invite all who vare interested in all we do to come to our next meeting... and I’m fussing at you folks out there that are paid members already, please, we need you and your support. The ones still showing up every meeting are getting tired!

At this time Oroville Grange has a project to fund a high school student’s scholarship... it Is a raffle for a Kindle Fire HD....a fun little device with quite a few perks for reading and computer stuff.

Our next meeting will be March 20 at 7 p.m. Tickets on the Kindle will be avail-able then and from Grange members around town. The Kindle will be given away May Day, not sure where at this time.

There will be lots of info available on the different works of the grange and why we need to support it.

Thanks for reading me.In God we trust,Betty RobertsOroville

Veterans: Sacrificial lambs

Dear Editor,Our Legislators have no qualms sending

our men and women in uniform into harms

way. We who served and those who continue to serve do what is expected in service for our Country, even if it means the giving of our life. Eventually we become Veterans.

Some of us at some point need help from our government, usually in the form of VA benefits. A Senate Bill S.1982 would have included disability compensation, pensions, survivor benefits and education, vocational training rehab, opening of new VA clinics and medical facilities and cost of living adjust-ments for military retires; naming a few ben-efits.

S.1982, titled: Comprehensive Veterans Health and Benefits, a Bill to improve provi-sions of service and benefits to veterans. The Bill failed passage in the Senate by a vote of 56 to 41, needed was 60 Yea votes. All Democrat Senators voted Yea. The Bill failed because of the Republican vote of Nay. Those Senators who disagreed was due to $21 billion budget spread out over ten years. Our veterans are not worth the dollars. Where does that place the veterans, they still have to continue to beg for VA benefits.

Where is the accountability when it come to veterans benefits? It seems many of our legislators do not understand accountability. Must veterans continue to carry budget cuts on their backs?

There is still an active House Bill HR-543, The Vietnam Agent Orange Act for Blue Water Navy. Will this Bill fail as well? We used to be able to count on our elected Congress and Senate who would send us off to war. We counted on them to do the right thing when we would be in need of help, no more, so what happened?

All Americans should contact their respec-tive members of Congress and Senate and advise them to do what is right for our vet-erans.

Honoring SPC Eddie “Tom” PeerySubmitted by daralyn HollenbeckPresident, nCW Blue star Mothers

This month we honor Army Combat Engineer and Route Clearance Specialist Eddie T. Peery from Loomis. He is a 2010 graduate of Tonasket High School. His parents, Judy and Eddie Peery currently live in Tonasket. Judy has been involved with the NCW Blue Star Mothers since 2011 when Tom joined the Army that June.

Tom and his wife have a 14 month old daughter named Pyper who was born in January just before he left on a deployment to Afghanistan. He, himself, was born May 13, 1991. Tom, finally home from deployments, is cur-rently vacationing with his wife in Texas learning to be a family again. But before they left for Texas, Debi Groff Hilts of Omak said of when she ran into him, “What a pleasure! He was gra-cious enough to endure multiple hugs from this Marine Mom.”

Tom currently serves in the Army Corps of Engineers as a

Heavy Equipment Operator based at Ft. Leonard Wood in the Missouri Ozarks, otherwise just referred to as “Ft. Wood.” As a combat engineer he performs a variety of construction and demolition tasks under combat conditions. Such tasks typically include constructing and breach-ing trenches, tank traps and other fortifications, bunker construc-tion, bridge and road construction or destruction, laying or clearing land mines, and other physical work in the battlefield.

More generally, the combat engineers’ goals involve facili-tating movement and support of friendly forces while impeding that of the enemy. Tom also has Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Training. This training involves knowing how to deal with the construction, deploy-ment, disarmament, and disposal of high explosive munitions that may include improvised explo-sive devices (IEDs). The Army EOD school is not an easy one to complete. The attrition rate for

the EOD qualification is around 60%.

Thank you and your family for your service, Tom!

***Guest Speaker Kari Strain

of the Red Cross, serving Apple Valley and the North Cascades, will be filling us in about their newly launched program called “Operation Welcome Home.”

Families of deployed service members may be interested in learning more about this at our March 19th meeting at Whistler’s in Tonasket at 5:30 p.m.

Can you believe it is almost the middle of March? No more sledding on our street. The snow has been replaced by rains. So for those that were concerned about lack of moisture in the ground for growing their favorite garden items, it seems the fear might be behind them. Last Friday the sun was shining brightly and the mercury went escalating higher than it had been in a long while…60 degrees

Congratulations to the sports teams for their hard work and good showings, both girls and boys, as they bring to a close another season. And especially to Lily Hilderbrand for receiving the League most valuable basketball player award. Way to go girl!

I suspect Russell Neff was remem-bered by many, when you saw his obitu-ary in the paper last week. He was the school superintendent here some years ago. Soft spoken and a true gentleman,

I believe.Remember tomorrow, Friday, March

14 is the talent show and silent auction, with proceeds going to “Dollars for Scholars” program. Auction beginning at 6:30 p.m., program at 7 p.m.

Saturday, March 15, is the Memorial for Ms. Ellie Cook, at the gravesite in Riverview Cemetery, at 1 p.m., returning to the Oroville United Methodist Church for a light luncheon.

Reports are that the Red Cross blood drive was at quota level. Thanks to those who made it a success. Kudo’s to John and Becky at Hometown Pizza, who help in so many ways, “behind the scenes,” as well as the many others who give of their time and food to make things go smoothly.

Word has been received from Deloris Baker, Shelton, Wash. She is near fam-ily, in a care center and doing very well at this time.

Word has also been received that Neoma Vandiver has had gall bladder surgery and is staying with her daughter Lorraine in Ellensburg while she recov-ers and will be coming to her Oroville home when she feels ready to be on her own.

On Monday, March 17, St. Patrick’s Day, there will be card playing at the Oroville Senior Center, for both bridge and pinochle. There will be refreshments, prizes and should be a fun afternoon, starting at 1 p.m. Remember to wear green and make it colorful. This is not just for senior members. All are welcome.

For Sale: Full set of encyclopedias. No longer need them. Got married and wife knows everything!

Was very nice to receive a phone call from Joan Cool, in Arizona. She will remain in the warmer climate for a few more weeks.

A memorial for Stan Porter will be held Saturday, March 29. Time and place will be announced in this paper at a later date.

Bob Hirst is once again home from the hospital, after a lengthy stay, due to

complications from shoulder surgery.

The ingredients are water, chalk, titanium dioxide, glyc-erin glycol, seaweed and par-affin oil, detergent, pepper-mint oil, and saccharin, and formaldehyde. Using those items do you know what you’d come up with? Well, toothpaste, of course!

Did you remember to turn your clock ahead? We didn’t and it makes you feel quite silly to arrive at church just as it is finishing. I’ve

laughed many times at folks who this happened to and this time the “shoe was on the other foot.”

Although the weather has warmed up it is still cool enough to warm up the kitchen in the morning and make Butterscotch pull aparts, the easy way, by buying frozen bread.

• 1 pkg. frozen buns (24 rolls)• 1 pkg. butterscotch pudding (not

instant)• 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 cup

brown sugar• 2 teaspoons cinnamon• 1/2 cup melted margarine• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (or more)• Butter a bundt pan (can use angel

food cake pan, if you don’t have a bundt pan). Butter pan and put in rolls. Mix together sugars, dry pudding mix and cinnamon and sprinkle over rolls. Sprinkle nuts on top. Let set over night, do not cover. Next morning bake at 350 degrees about 30 mins. Yum!

Multitasking… the art of messing up several things at once. I’m quite good at doing that. It comes from practice.

The Oroville food bank can always use more help. The United Methodist Church is responsible for months that begin with “M,” that being, of course, March and May. Other months are head-ed up by other groups (or individuals). Help is always welcomed, making the job easier on those volunteering. And they are always in need of plastic bags, so if you have a stash of those, they are welcomed. Thursdays, at the Seventh Day Adventist Church basement, each week is where the Food Bank is located and of course they are always in need of (non-perishable) food stuff.

Getting ready for ‘mud’ seasonSubmitted by marianne knigHthighlands CorresPondent

Well here we are into the sec-ond week of March, covered in a blanket of snow covering the ice and frozen ground and on the edge of the dreaded “mud” season. The melt is coming fast making lakes where ever there is a flat area. Where there is dirt it has turned to mud that can send

your car or truck going all over the road and in directions you might not want to go into. On our road the water is coming from the hills behind us and making lakes on our down hill side. Please drive carefully and watch out for others. Mud can be very slippery.

It is catch up time again on the Pinochle winners for the last two weeks. Feb. 24 with 20 players the High’s went to Ken

Chaplin and Wilma Penner. The Low’s went to Everett Turner and Mary Louise Loe with George Penner picking up the Traveling. The Five Week Series Winner was Ken Ripley.

The week of March 3 with 30 players at the Molson Grange Pinochle games on Monday night the winners were: George Penner (here he goes again) with the Men’s High. The Ladies High went to Wilma Penner (what is going on)? The Low play-ers were Dal Wilder and Judy Ripley and Danny Weitrick took the Traveling.

There’s nothing more important in the world to you than your family. However, your family-owned business probably helps support your family. So, when it comes to protecting both your family and your business, you need to carefully consider your moves.

As you know, you face plenty of challenges to keep your business running smoothly — but it can be even more difficult to pass the family business on to your children or other relatives. In fact, according to the Small Business Administration, only 33% of family owned businesses survive the transition from first generation ownership to the next generation.

Why is it so hard to keep a family business intact? Sometimes, it’s because no one in the family is interested in running the business — but family businesses frequently disintegrate because of the lack of a succession plan.

Take Steps To Protect Your Family BusinessTo create a succession plan, your first step — and possibly the most important one — is to collect the thoughts and preferences of family members on their future involvement with your business. It’s essential that you know who wants to really do the day-to-day work and who is capable. During these conversations, you’ll also want to discuss other key business-succession issues, such as the retirement goals and cash flow needs of retiring family owners and the personal and financial goals of the next generation of management.

In developing a plan for the future of your business, you will need to determine who will control and manage the business, and who will eventually own it. These decisions will depend on a variety of factors, such as the time horizon, goals and financial needs of the family members involved.

Your succession plan could be based on a family limited partnership. Under this arrangement, you, as general partner, would maintain control over the day-to-day operation of your business, but, over time, you could gift or sell limited partnership shares to your family members. And eventually, you would also relinquish control of the business to whoever is going to run it.

Another component of your succession plan might be a “buy-sell” agreement, which allows

you to name the buyer for your business — such as one of your children — and establish methods to determine the sale price. Your child could then purchase a life insurance policy on your life and eventually use the proceeds to buy the business, according to the terms established in the buy-sell agreement.

We’ve just skimmed the surface of techniques that might be used alone or in combination to carry out your business succession. The transfer can be complex, so you will certainly need to consult with your legal and financial professionals. It’s important that you fully understand the business and tax implications of any succession plan, as well as the financial effects of a plan on all your family members.

In any case, once you’ve created your succession plan, you’ll need to work with your legal advisor to put it in writing and communicate it clearly to all family members. Surprises are welcome in many parts of life — but not when it comes to transferring a family business.You want to leave your family a legacy. And if that legacy is the family business, do whatever it takes to pass it on in a manner that benefits everyone involved. This will take time and planning — but it can be well worth the effort.

GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

the Gazette-tribune

25 Years Ago:March 9-16, 1989: Last week, the International

Cup Organizing Committee (OCOC) of Oroville, released some disappointing news that a planned third Annual Labor Day Regatta for 1989 was not going to happen. The problem arises with the inability of a guarantee for a specific number of boats and classes from the sponsoring organi-zation, the Seattle Inboard Racing Association, not with the local group. The Tonasket Kiwanis President, Wayne Verbeck, took a playful shot at their sponsoring club, Oroville, by presenting them with a banner reading “North Tonasket.” Oroville, years ago, presented the then new Tonasket Club with a banner reading “South Oroville.” The fun and activities were held last week to celebrate 40 years of service to the community by the Tonasket Kiwanians. Five Oroville High School girls are seeking a chance to be the May Day Royalty for the 55th Annual Event. They are: Stephanie Lynn Turner, the daughter of Steve and Cynthia Turner, a senior; April Renee Noel, daughter of Rod and

Kathy Noel, a junior; Edie Mae Miller, daughter of Ginger and Marvin Miller; Dara Lee Smith, daughter of Darrel (Smitty) and Eilene Smith, a junior and Maura Colleen Jackson, daughter of Marjorie and Frank Jackson. Tonasket School District voters rejected a major construction and renovation bond issue by a narrow margin in the March 14 election. Although the 1269 votes cast were enough to validate the election, the “yes” votes fell just 3.5 percent short of the necessary 60 percent needed to pass the $6,650,000 bond issue. Affirmative votes totaled 712 , while negative votes totaled 548 or 43.5 percent of the total votes tallied. Rebecca Guyll is the first Alternative School Student to receive her high school diploma. Roger Llewellyn, Chairman of the Oroville School Board awarded Rebecca for her achievement with an Oroville High School Diploma. Prime Real Estate Properties: 2 bedroom, kitchen w/range and fridge, an extra large lot, separate garage, shop and carport, across from the city park, $26,900; 2 bedroom, newly remodeled home on 6 1/2 acres, good well, barn/hay storage, corrals and a mobile hook-up, $75,000; Two hillside building lots near Prince’s store. Price was $20,000, now $14,000 for both. Three bedroom, 2 bath home, 4 miles north of Oroville, $48,000.

Baby picture fundraiserSUBMITTED BY DOLLY ENGELBRETSONOROVILLE SENIOR CENTER

President James has introduced a new fundraiser to our schedule. Be sure to bring a baby picture of yourself as a young child. People have to guess who is in the pic-ture and pay a small price to do so. If you are correct, you win a prize. He hasn’t said what the

prize is yet.The speaker for March 11

is James Knowlton of Allied Medical. Our regular business meeting will be March 18. All are welcome to attend.

Entrees: March 13 – Scalloped Potatoes and Ham; March 21 – BBQ Chicken; March 25 – Chili with Cheese.

Pinochle Scores for March 8: Door prize was won by Ken Ripley; most pinochles by Barb-ara Cline; high scoring man was Jim Fry and high scoring woman was Sally Eder. More next time.

FirewoodNOTICE

Washington State law requires wood sell- ers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Wash- ington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a firewood complaint, call 360- 902-1857.
