City still looking at contracting with private ambulance serviceBY GARY DE VONMANAGING EDITOR

OROVILLE – The Oroville EMS has been struggling about what to do regard-ing a lack of trained personnel to operate the ambulance and has been considering going to a private company for service.

However, that decision can’t be made by the city alone as it shares services with the Rural EMS and both entities collect tax dollars through lev-ies to fund ambu-lance services inside and outside of town. While Mayor Chuck Spieth has expressed an interest in find-ing out about alter-natives to a mostly volunteer crew, no decision has been made on whether that is the way the city will be heading.

“We also found out that our local Rural EMS Commissioners can not make the decision on whether to change on their own,” said Spieth when asked about the situation this week.

“They are an appointed board by the County Commissioners and are not elected to their positions. The final deci-sion regarding rural EMS remains with the County Commissioners.”

At the city council’s Tuesday, May 5 meeting, Chris Allen, who has tried unsuccessfully to be made a part of the Oroville Ambulance Crew, asked the council about the status of the ambu-lance service.

Mayor Spieth said the city was work-ing on an interlocal agreement between the city and the County Commissioners. He added that the city has discussed requesting proposals for private service following the completion of such an agreement.

Janet Allen, who is a volunteer for the ambulance service also asked the city to look into the ambulance hall roof, which she says is leaking.

Princes Heritage Park

The council had a short discussion about potential uses of Princes Heritage Park. It was decided that a question-naire would be included in the May water bills to try and gain public input. The questionnaire may be included on the city’s website as well. An online poll in the Okanogan Valley Gazette-Tribune has been running heavily in favor of a multi-use park without creating another soccer field. That choice has 76 percent of the votes, while the option of half soc-

cer field and half multi-use has only 17 percent of the votes.

Other Business

The council heard from Sonja Mylebust and Vicki Eberhart regarding a proposed Wine and Wool event to he held on Friday, May 29 at the Pastime Bar and Grill. The two are representatives of the North American Wool Cooperative and requested a letter of support to the state Liquor Board. The council approved the request and will support the event when asked by the Liquor Board.

The council also got a request from Suzanne and Julius Liptak requesting the city apply for permits to clear the channel area between the pond at Deep Bay and Lake Osoyoos. Mayor Spieth stated that Chris Branch, the director of Community Development would respond to the two. He also said the city will not be applying for the permits.

Arnie Marchand gave an update on the Oroville Museum. He said the museum was open and the displays created by five different schools are complete.

Commissioners, not EMS Board, decides on inter-local agreements

Ride, drive or walk to Blues Fest in Oroville

BY GARY [email protected]

OROVILLE – The Run for the Border motorcycle charity ride returns to Oroville for 13th time this Saturday, May 16, as does the Rally at the Border Blues Fest which will be celebrating with music on Saturday.

Oroville’s Rally at the Border Blues Fest takes place at the city’s Deep Bay Park on the shores of Lake Osoyoos. Now in its second year, the festival is timed to coincide with the Columbia River HOG’s annual Armed Forces Day Run to the Border motorcycle rally that originates in Wenatchee and ends in Oroville. While as many as 300 riders from Wenatchee have treked the 150 miles to Oroville in past events, many attendees from

Canada are also expected on this three-day Canadian holiday weekend. Visitors may also enjoy the kick-off barbecue on Friday night at Veranda Beach Resort as well as Spring Barrel Tasting at local win-eries like Copper Mountain and Esther Bricques on Saturday, as well as take in a car show.

The musical line-up at the blues fest includes six of the Northwest’s premier blues bands playing all day Saturday, starting at noon and continuing until 10 p.m. After the park closes, music will continue in town at the Pastime on Main Street with an All-Star Jam. Sunday all riders are welcome to participate in the Poker Run from 9 AM to noon.

Bands scheduled to play are The Randy Oxford Band Featuring Lady A, Steve Bailey & the Blue Flames, The CD

Woodbury Band, Jesse Weston Band, VooDoo Church of Blues and Royce-Govedare High Rollers.

This Saturday’s lineup:

THE RANDY OXFORD BAND – FEATURING LADY A

This band has international roots bringing you a unique, 21st century sound in the blues. Winners of over 25 music awards in Washington State, The Randy Oxford Band showcases their sophisticated brand of Chicago style musicianship, daring arrange-ments of blues classics, Americana, Soul, R&B, Funky, Rock, Motown and more. The band is led by Washington State Performer of the Year, Randy Oxford, whose prowess on trombone and abil-ity to ignite an audience’s enthusiasm have become legendary in the Pacific Northwest. http://therandyoxfordband.com/

The Okanogan Highlands Association put on Spring Barter Faire May 1-3, the first one since 2007.

“It was a very nice, mellow faire,” said Faire Manager Tim Vallo, who estimated the num-bers to be about 2500 in atten-dance with 75 vendors, or about one-fourth the aver-age attendance of the annual Family Faire held in the fall.

Attendees for the full dura-tion of the faire, from 6 p.m. Friday through 6 p.m. Sunday, included Lifeline EMT’s Karen Kenyon and Jake Guttromson.

“It’s not uncommon for us to do

40-hour shifts,” said Guttromson. “We’re happy to be here. We didn’t have anything serious to handle, so we’ve enjoyed being here.”

“We’ve gotten good feedback from the public,” added Kenyon. “It’s a good experience to be here.”

The faire board began contract-ing with Lifeline last fall, adding a solid presence to their own First Aid Station, which is open 24/7

and manned by a certified EMT. The ambulance and first aid station, which also serves as a hydration sta-tion, are both parked right across from the playground known as

Youthtopia South. First Aid Coordinator Leilani

Kilpatrick reported treating tics and sunburn, and handing

out water and band-aids, with one faire attendee requesting a transport offsite to North Valley Hospital.

The Barter Faire was first cre-ated in 1974 as an annual event to help community members connect and have the opportu-nity to barter surplus harvest and products for items needed to get through the winter. The event has grown over the years, and now a large portion of gate fees go to grants and scholarships in the community. Over $300,000 has been donated in the last seven years. Along with other grants, five $1,000 educational scholar-ships are given yearly, with three of them going to high school graduates and two to continuing education students.

Life Has Meaning (pictured in white) leads off the 2015 Spring Barter Faire Parade. Greg Youmans of Loon Lake, a bassist with the Spokane Symphony, has been coordinating the parade since 1994. The parade wound its way around the grounds to the tune of “Oh When the Saints Come Marching In,” and “This Land is Your Land.” Music was provided by Youmans on alto horn, John Jones on Brazillian marching drum, Michael ‘Buffalo’ Mazzetti on tuba, Pamela VanKirk on soprano sax, Quill Hyde on trumpet, Mikkel Gredvig and Thomas Caton on ukele and Erika ‘Infinite E’ Charbeneau on cymbals and roller skates.

Tonasket Eagle Lloyd Caton gets ready to auction off an outdoor fire pit donated to help Annie Wilkison (seen next to Caton) raise money to buy flags for her mission of “Spreading Patriotism One Flag at a Time” as ‘Annie Amerika.’ The benefit dinner at the Eagles Hall served 40 plates of Indian Tacos and raised a total of $750 with generous donations of baked goods and locally made jewelry as well as the outdoor fire pit.

STEVE BAILEY AND THE BLUE FLAMES Steve Bailey and the Blue Flames have been a Seattle fixture since the 1980s. They are known for their intensity, great songwriting, and world class musicianship. From Memphis soul to rollick-ing New Orleans gumbo, Bailey keeps crowds dancing and is a triple-threat performer on vocals, guitar, and harp. They entertain at a high level with their positive, danceable music. www.stevebai-leyandtheblueflames.com

THE CD WOODBURY BAND Since their earliest gigs togeth-

er, the CD Woodbury Band has been described as the Northwest’s best kept secret by fans and fellow musicians. With the 2013 release of their studio debut recording, “Monday Night!” the word is out! The CD Woodbury Band has gone on to international criti-cal acclaim, radio, and internet airplay. Last year, Beale Street merchants crowned The CD Woodbury Band “Kings of Beale Street” at the Jerry Lee Lewis’ Cafe and Honky-Tonk. That same year, their CD, “Monday Night!” was a finalist in the International Blues Challenge Best Self-Produced CD competition. www.cdwoodbury.

JESSE WESTON BAND Not only was the Jesse Weston

Band the group chosen to open the 2014 Inland Empire Awards ceremony, Inland Empire Blues Society members voted the band as “Best New Blues Band.” About a year and a half ago Jesse Weston burst onto the Spokane music scene, and it was apparent from the start that there was a “new piano man in town.” Jesse was not just another musician. He immediately stood out with his energetic vocals and rhythmic playing. www.jesseweston.com

VOO DOO CHURCH OF BLUES Gary Yeoman’s lowdown dirty

blues band with a little bit of Texas bar rock thrown in for added fla-vor. You will find the band every Sunday night at Daley’s in the Spokane Valley hosting a weekly blues jam. Gary’s on guitar and vocals, Ryan Dunn and Dennis Higgins also on guitar, Scott Ratterman bass guitar and Mark Stephens on drums. They are a Spokane favorite!

ROYCE-GOVEDARE HIGH ROLLERS The High Rollers are known

for their Rockin’ Blues, as they lay down a deep danceable groove topped with flashy licks from their two guitar players. Anita Royce belts it out vocally in her rockin’ blues style with some jump swing thrown into the mix. Joined by the rest of the High Rollers, they take turns singing. Instrumentally the High Rollers include Anita Royce on guitar, Forest Govedare on guitar & har-monica, Art Donnelly on Bass, and Doug McQuain on drums. Well deserved, The High Rollers

won the Inland Empire Blues Society Best New Band Award for 2013.

Many motorcyclists who attend the festival spend some of their time here riding the back roads of the Okanogan Highlands east of Oroville and along the lakes and rivers that border Oroville to the west. A Sunday poker run for rid-ers will again take place, stopping at several locations in the region.

There is a local Shriner Chapter 50/50 charity raffle held dur-ing the day of the event at Deep

Bay Park. The charitable dona-tion for this year’s festival will again be earmarked to help local low income families from the Okanogan area with transporta-tion needs to Spokane’s Shriners’ Hospital for Children.

This year the Columbia River Harley Owner’s Group plans to donate the money they raise from the ride, as well as an earlier dinner-auction, to the Chelan-Douglas County CASA. CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocates is a program for chil-

dren. The Rally at the Border Blues

Fest is open to the general public. Advance tickets are on sale for $20 online. At the door, admis-sion is $25. Poker Run is $15 at the event. For more information about the festival and the region, go to www.rallyattheborderblues-fest.com, find us on Facebook or phone 509-485-2272. For infor-mation on Columbia River HOG go to http://www.columbiariver-hog.net.

BLUES | FROM A1

It’s hard to believe the Run for the Border Motorcycle charity ride is in it’s thirteenth year. This shows there is a lot of support from the Columbia River Harley Owners Group (HOG). The ride, which takes place each Armed Services Day, in this case next Saturday, attracts as many as 300 riders travelling the 150 or so miles from Wenatchee to Oroville.

The question that came out of this windfall of riders is what to do with them when they hit town. How can we keep them here -- spend-

ing time, as well as money, and getting to know what Oroville has to offer? We needed to try and stop them from just turning around and heading back south after a few welcoming speeches and a stop at one of the town’s establishments to have something to eat and drink.

An enterprising group of people struck upon the idea of having a blues festival and after a lot of planning, a lot of meetings and a lot of work the first Rally at the Border Blues Fest took place last year. It was a success despite Mother Nature and the Department of Transportation conspiring against it in the way of rain and high-way construction.

While I wasn’t able to kick in as much help as last year, the hard work continues by the die-hard Blues and Bike fans we have in town and nearby. If the weather holds, and it looks like

it might, we should have an even bigger and better festival this year. All those who are working tirelessly to pull off another festival need a word of appreciation. They know, just like those volunteers who helped to make it a great May Festival last weekend, that there’s a lot that needs to be done and it won’t get done by itself.

What we need is local support from people who live here to go out and enjoy six of the best blues bands the Pacific Northwest offers. I guarantee you won’t get to many concerts for just $20 (presale) or $25 at the gate. Have you priced seeing a concert at the Gorge lately -- they’re a lot of money for what you get?

Come listen to some blues, enjoy Deep Bay Park on our wonderful Osoyoos Lake and maybe make friends with the riders. I can think of worse ways to spend the afternoon and evening. And kids it’s open to all ages this year.

Support your local blues festival and help keep this great resource, as many as 300 motorcycle riders, in town for more than a few hours.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The Oroville Gazette75 years Ago

May 3-10, 1940: The sixth Annual May Day celebration of the Oroville Schools will be held today, Friday, May 3, includ-ing a colorful May Day Parade through the streets of Oroville, athletic contests, a base-ball game on the grade school grounds in the afternoon and a vaudeville and dance at the grade school auditorium in the evening. The parade consists of the various floats car-rying Queen Marjorie Goeke and her five princesses; Helen, Girls Club; Lila, senior class; Dorothy, junior class; Marjorie, sopho-more class; Sylvia, freshman class and many other floats from various organizations. The apple blossoms in the Okanogan Valley are now in the critical stage to be damaged by low temperatures, which are expected to reach 28 degrees, for at least 30 minutes or more during the night. This will affect all soft fruits except apricots which will withstand 31 degrees. Twenty members of the Oroville Business Club held their regular meeting at the Molson Grange Hall with 75 or 80 mem-bers of the Molson and Knob Hill area, to discuss road matters. It was announced by the County Commissioners, that the contract for the completion of the wooden bridge across the Okanogan River, southeast of the town, had been signed that day. The construction was bid in at $4,111 which was lower than the county estimate of $4,502. The new electric timing device recently purchased by the Town of Oroville from the Fixit Shop will automatically sound the curfew at nine o’clock each night. It was installed and put into opera-tion for the first time this week. Mayor C. C. Hinton, appointed Dale S. Rice to the Town Council, to replace George Bundy who had resigned. Among the items discussed at the meeting was the decision to call for bids for the construction of a new city hall and jail,

which are both badly needed. The bids will be announced in this issue of the Gazette. Mayor Hinton also said there had been many com-plaints of the streets being used as raceways in the lower part of town and that serious action would be taken if continued. Also, sev-eral complaints have been made about picket-ing of cows along the street with rope long enough to allow them to get out on the street.

The Oroville Gazette50 Years Ago:

May 6-13, 1965: Queen Lynn Dwyer will take over the reigns as official hostess for the 1965 May Festival on Friday night at the Coronation Program at Coulton Auditorium. Her two attendants are Deanna Lee Jennings and Janis Marie McDougall with class atten-dants, Seniors, Pat Ogle; Juniors, Candy Kurtz; Sophomores, Wilma Raidan; Freshman, Wilma Kosonen; Jr. High, Queen Louise Haskell and Grade School Queen, Vickie Reese. Saturday, May 6, will be a great day for Oroville again as the entire community turns out for the Grand Parade & Festival, the 31st in number. Some of the most modern and up to date health guarding equipment to be found anywhere will be on display at the open house at St. Martin’s Hospital on Tuesday, May 11. Some of the new equipment on display will include a defibrillator, used in cardiac arrests, and isolette (incubator) in the nursery, a bed warmer, complete with lamp and lights, a new Anethesia machine and of course the giant X-Ray machine, the largest between Wenatchee and Spokane. Game Protector, Luther Morgan, was involved in the releaseof some 10,000 ten-inch Steelhead Trout through a pipeline into the Similkameen River last Thursday by the State Game Department. They will be going this week planting fish in Lost Lake. Jim Webster, of the State Park and Department of Recreation, was a guest of the Oroville Chamber of Commerce Tuesday. He is here making a survey of existing and poten-tial recreation areas.

The Gazette-Tribune25 Years Ago:

May 3-10, 1990: The Council here in Tonasket heard a report, at the April 24 meeting, that the final plans for the proposed improvements on the city’s municipal pool are awaiting I.A.C. (Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreational) approval. As soon as the plans are approved by that state agency, the town can begin work on the refurbish-ing of the pool and the bathhouse located in History Park. Oroville May Festival is fast approaching, says Chairperson, Marilyn Wilder. Make plans to be downtown early on Friday night, bring your family and eat out. There will be plenty to eat from hot dogs and apple pie to espresso coffee and pop-corn balls, all while watching the apple bin races. People like Fanny and Wesley Rogers, Grand Marshall’s for this year’s May Day Parade, are why small towns have reputa-tions for being friendly places. The Rogers are warm and funny, generous to the community and completely “aw shucks” about being nice people. A public meeting will be held on Thursday, May 10, 1990, at 7:30 p.m. in the Old Oroville Depot. At this meeting a discussion will be held, giving an opportu-nity for citizens to learn more of the Town of Chesaw and to provide comments, questions or concerns about the explorations and drill-ing operations on Buckhorn Mountain. Kathy Swedberg is the Head Nurse of the day shift at North Valley Hospital. With the hospital for five years, she is working with Nurses Aid, Lila Certain, taking a patients temperature with an electronic thermometer. History will be made again tonight as the 1990 Oroville May Day Festival Coronation takes place at Coulton Auditorium. Effie Coulton’s spirit will be hovering in the wings as this year’ roy-alty are crowned. Queen Corey Young and her Princesses, Niki Rounds and Jennifer Gee are honored. Also being honored this year, are the Oroville May Festival Senior Royalty, Queen Terrissaee Kuipers and Princess’s Muriel Turner and Ada Curtis.

ITEMS FROM THE

How can this be right?Dear Gary,

You won’t believe this one! A lady I know in Oroville received a call regarding her electric bill. She had paid the current one, but they found a 32-year-old bill in her previous mar-ried name. She has no recollection of owing this bill and suspects it was incurred under fraudulous circumstances. After discussing it on the phone, the lady thought it was resolved. Wrong.

On the door the following day there was a threatening letter to the effect that because she is current on her account, is still using PUD power, and “owes” a balance outstand-ing “District policy stipulates that when a customer because delinquent in the payment of a bill for electrical service and service had been discontinued,” the District shall have the right to refuse service or disconnect new service to such customer until payment of the prior delinquent account has been made through such customer’s present service is in another party’s name or is being paid for by another party.”

Until payment in full of the outstanding balance is paid – by May 15, 2015 the District will be disconnecting service no later than May 18, 2015.

As far as the lady can recall, she didn’t live in Oroville in 1982. Sha has no proof that the bill was hers. What about our seven-year stat-ute of limitations? She is in poor health, which the stress from this isn’t helping. She has been living in her current location for 15 years using PUD power with no problem about this

issue. She has been making her own payments in her own name. How can this be right?

Piece of advice for MCsDear Editor,

I spent many years announcing various events and being a master of ceremonies and I would like to pass on some advice to people who volunteer their time to help with local events.

Given the opportunity to give introduc-tions or thank certain people, please take the time to learn how to pronounce their names. It can be distracting and really... how fun can it be to hear your name wrecked while being introduced. We have a diverse community and Gutierrez should be said as correctly as Johnson.

It’s not all about organicDear Editor,

A growing number of people equate sus-tainable farming with organic farming. That’s a mistake. At the Center for Rural Affairs we look beyond labels and focus on core values - stewardship, community, and ownership. We ask if a farming system protects the land, water, and how it impacts community, and if it encourages widespread ownership.

We champion organic family farming.

Many organic farmers are innovators in prac-tices that protect the environment. Premium prices for organic products have kept count-less farms profitable. We’ve also harshly criti-cized corporate organic - farms that meet the letter of the organic labeling law, but other-wise look like industrial operations.

Similarly, painting all conventional produc-ers with one brush overlooks critical differ-ences.

Among conventional, family-size farmers are many ardent conservationists who main-tain grass waterways, buffer strips, terraces, and shelterbelts that reduce erosion, limit runoff, and provide habitat.

Innovative farmers are employing cover crops and no-till to enhance soil health. This practice represents a convergence of the best from organic and non-organic practices.

Other conventional farmers who do use chemicals are also implementing innovative management strategies to reduce cost, weath-er drought, and build soil health.

Farmers adopting these practices are using careful management in the field as an alterna-tive to expansion.

This means more farmers on the land, controlling their destiny and rising to meet the most pressing stewardship challenges of our time.

In an era where climate change is the most critical challenge facing farming, farmers who embrace these values may hold the key to achieving widespread change across the land-scape.

OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE

Oh! my goodness! Where do I begin? Such a busy weekend with so many won-derful people. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect and the wind didn’t blow and I even got a sunburn.

Another May Day celebration is behind us. The effort and hard work that goes into making it all come together has come to a close

The coronation which was held Friday night was very well done with Doreen (Ripley) Cleman, a former May Day queen, acting as emcee and a nice atten-dance was on hand to witness the chang-ing of the crown from the 2014 queen to the present one.

I agree with Gary that it is difficult to change to “May Festival” from “May Day” as it has been the latter for so many years.

I believe in the 72 years I’ve lived in Oroville I have only missed one parade, and many changes have been made. Always something eye catching and dif-ferent.

The old Ford Model T fire truck, driver and attendants, probably has the

most fun with the only thing missing, is the late Eddie King. After the parade it’s on to the Maypole, where the little girls show their skills of winding and unwinding the ribbons, and their many hours of practice are put to work and they perfectly did the job making their leader, Autumn (Thorndike) Martin very proud. She has been doing this task for 21 years.

Then to the barbecue where the Chamber of Commerce has a spread of food for the many who patiently stand in line, visiting with some folks they know and some they are meeting for the first time, or maybe with someone they knew years ago and didn’t recognize at first, which can sometimes be embarrassing, as you can’t remember their name, and so it goes.

It was like old home week for us as many of the Class of 1965, who were gathered for their 50th class reunion, which our daughter Vicki was a member of. Several of the girls used to spend time at our house for fun and games and espe-cially swimming, as we lived on the lake.

Janis (McDougall), Deanna (Jennings), Janell (Zosel), our very close neigh-bors the Corrigans, John and Molly, the Anderson girls, Joan and Kathy, Kathleen (Kuntz) across the lake, Lynn (Dwyer) who often missed the school bus and would bum a ride with Clayton and Evelyn Dull was the happy mom as she had both Alan, and Norm home. Then there was Ted Landreth and Raymond Wilson and Diane (Kelso) and I could go on and on, and the names I missed here merely means I have joined the so called Golden Agers, who can’t always remember, espe-cially names. In a few years you youngsters will know what I mean.

All in all it was a grand day.I mentioned a few weeks ago how

excited our three young grandsons from Snohomish are for May to come, so they can come to the parade and chase candy. This year their daddy had a mishap with his back and they didn’t get to come. I don’t know who was more disappointed, them or this grandmother.

The hanging baskets are in place and looking very pretty. And kudos to the persons that cleaned the weeds out of the flower beds at the south entrance.

Farmer’s Market is going strong. Soon

the good garden veggies will be plentiful.Back in the forties the The Ink Spots

sang a beautiful song, called “Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall.” That was back

when you could understand the words and the harmony was beautiful. Anyway, I was reminded of the song, when after all the fun things, we also have to face some things in life which are dimmed by reality, such as the following:

The Memorial for “Meb” Verbeck was well attended and I’ll bet he would never have believed how many lives he touched as he went along the way.

Then, after a long, lingering illness “Bennie” Prince passed

away. It was thought quite some time ago that he had just days to live and those days turned into months.

Then, Phil Roth, former insurance agent, married to Beverly Nulton, passed away. Bev has resided in the North Valley Extended Care, following an illness that prevents her from living at home.

And former longtime Molson resi-dent, Eileen (Rise) Rowton Floch, died in Okanogan, where she had resided after marrying the late Fred Floch.

And Verle Harnasch, didn’t quite make it to his 100th birthday, as we thought he would, as he was so agile when he left

Oroville, to live in Kennewick, Wash. to be near family. His brother Gene passed jut last month.

Sincere condolences go out to all the surviving family and friends of the above mentioned.

Then, we have good news of Beverly Curtis. She is home and able to be back at the Senior citizens for lunch, where she was sincerely missed for quite a spell.

And once more Steve Retasket was flown to the hospital, as he has flare-ups, periodically, having to do with kidney-pancreas transplants he had, a lot of years ago, and with the loving care of Ada and family, he has fooled the doctors in living longer than most do after transplants.

And our special “Renee” and I’m sorry I don’t have his last name, but he is our busboy at the senior center, went in to have a stint put in and have multiple by-pass surgery.

And then, last but not least, our cow-boy, Ken Ripley, had a mishap with his horse, while giving her new shoes, and he ended up in the hospital, in Spokane, having repair work on a dislocated hip. So, he missed riding in the parade. Next year maybe?

I have battled the computer for as long as my temperament will allow, so if I for-got something it will appear next week.

‘Til Next week.

HILLTOP COMMENT

Two entries in this year’s paradeSUBMITTED BY JAMES GUTSCHMIDTPRESIDENT, OROVILLE SENIOR CITIZENS

Oroville just had one of the best parades I’ve ever seen last Saturday. We Senior Citizens had two entries: Senior Citizen Royalty, (not to be confused with the Senior Royalty, which repre-sents the high school) and also Ryan Frazier riding our mini motorcycle.

The raffle for the motorcycle went well, and we were privileged to meet many of the most gener-ous citizens of Oroville, which made me feel warm and fuzzy all over. Becky, of Hometown fame, graciously allowed us to use her

Toyota convertible to convey our royalty down the parade route. I am thankful that I could be the driver. It was most interesting to learn more about Hank and Darlene Allen, our Royalty, as we sat in line. If you have a chance, ask them about their courtship more than 57 years ago.

Our pie bake sale was not as well attended as last year. I guess everyone else is watching their waist line, like I am.

Computer classes have pro-gressed to the next level. Times and sign-up sheets are in the

lunchroom. Our school days picture contest

is progressing rapidly, as Seniors go, so don’t forget to bring yours for display. Give it to Betty Steg.

The word for the day is “Oxymoron.” I will use it in a sen-tence. Only an oxygen starved, (oxy) moron would claim the universe was created spontane-ously from nothing, by nothing, and call it science.

Our furnace repair man is working on the furnace. He has replaced the fan, which was burned out. He has ordered new controls, which should be installed shortly. Thank goodness the furnace didn’t go down in the dead of winter.

We are working on next months activities and will keep you informed.

Memorials for Ted Hilstad and Nita Myrick in MaySUBMITTED BYMARIANNE KNIGHTHIGHLANDS CORRESPONDENT

This past week end was the May Day Festival down in Oroville. The biggest event of the day was the parade with lots of entries. The Apple Blossom

Festival Float from Wenatchee was one of the big entries. Both Tonasket and Oroville High Schools entered their bands. They added to the festivities.

There were Queens and Princesses in cars, on floats, or on horseback representing the areas around. Many of the entries were tossing candy out to the

children along the parade route. Lots of smiles and cheers could be seen and heard.

There will be BINGO on Friday evening May 15. This will be the last of the bigger pay backs for now. It is still going to be fun to come and play as we are getting more players all the time.

The Celebration of Life for Ted Hilstad will be at the Grange Hall in Molson on Friday, May 15 at 11 a.m. and will be a Pot Luck for all to share.

On Saturday, May 16th at 1 pm we will celebrate the life of Nita Myrick in the Grange Hall in Molson. This will be a dessert or snacks potuck to share.

The annual Molson/Chesaw Yard sale is going to be at the Grange Hall in Molson on May 23 starting at 9 a.m. with lunch (Taco Salad) served by the

Knob Hill Ladies of Chesaw at 11 am. Tables are still avail-able, call Penny at 509-485-2343. There is not a charge for tables. Join us ‘til 2 p.m.

The Hero WalkBY DARALYN HOLLENBECKPRESIDENT NCW BLUE STAR MOTHERS

Two years ago local Army vet-eran Joshua Evans said after three tours in Iraq, “We still have a long road ahead of us in crushing this network of terrorists whose entire goal is destroying the American way of life. But it is a road that the men and women of the United States Armed Forces are prepared to walk. We have a completely volunteer force who know the tribulations in front of us, and are prepared to meet them head on.”

The fight Evans refers to has now come home. We are now incurring attacks in the States from ISIL/ISIS contacts as well as other terrorist groups. Sleeper cells are poised and ready to attack according to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson (2/2015).

“A veteran is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America,’ for an amount of ‘up to and includ-ing my life.’” (Unknown Author). I, for one, see that blank check every time I meet a vet.

In recognition of that blank check, the NCW Blue Star Mothers have created the “Hero Walk” consisting of used mili-tary boots adorned with a U.S. flag and photo of a local war-rior laced to it. It is displayed at North Valley events and is avail-able upon request to other orga-nizations.

Stop by and walk through the boot display. You just might see the photo of someone you grew up with or have worked with

in clubs or see around town. If you don’t see your soldier, guard, sailor, airman, or marine in our display please send their picture to [email protected].

We’d love to include them and have more boots waiting!

God Bless our local service men and women and their fami-lies!

SUBMITTED BY SARAH STEWARTHOUSE REPUBLICANS, PUBLIC

INFORMATION OFFICER

House Bill 2093, aimed at reforming the way Washington state responds to wildfires and allows locals to safely intervene, was signed into law May 7.

S p o n s o r e d by Rep. Joel Kretz, R-Wauconda, it was the response to the Carlton Complex Fire last summer and a culmination of hearing from fire victims about the lack of management and response to that wildfire.

“People were understandably angry that more was not done to put the fire out sooner and to coordinate with our local trained resources,” said Kretz. “I’m very pleased to see this bill become law and grateful for the sup-port it received from both sides of the aisle. I also appreci-ate the Department of Natural Resources’ willingness to listen and learn from what happened. I hope this bill, and other lessons learned, will help us as we pre-pare for this year’s fire season. This is a good start, but we’ll have to continue looking at our statewide fire response and make further changes.”

Jim DeTro, Ray Campbell, Jon Wyss and Carlene Anders all traveled from Okanogan County

to testify on the response to the Carlton Complex Fire. They each shared concerns and a desire to change the state’s response.

Provisions of the bill:• allow locals to access state

land to help put out a fire without being held liable by the state, require the

D e p a r t m e n t of Natural R e s o u r c e s (DNR) to coordinate and share a list of locals who are qualified to fight fires • a n d enter into a g r e e m e n t s with them to use locals first

during a fire, and• require the Commissioner

of Public Lands to appoint both a fire liaison who will represent landowners and the public during a fire, and a Fire Advisory Committee to advise the commissioner on fire activities.

The cost of the bill is about $1 million for the DNR to create the liaison position and commit-tee. An amendment in the Senate would make the bill null and void if the operating budget, still being negotiated in a 30-day spe-cial session, does not include the funding. Otherwise, the law goes into effect July 24 of this year.

“People were under-standably angry that more was not done

OBITUARIES

EDWARD LYLE PARISEAU

Edward Lyle Pariseau, 84, died April 27, 2015, at Central Washington Hospital surround-ed by his family. Ed was born in Fargo, North Dakota on December 2, 1930, the first of five children born to John Elmer Pariseau and Katherine Yocum Pariseau.

The family moved repeatedly during Ed’s youth: Fargo, Minot, Des Moines, Washington D.C., Prineville, Brewster and Kittitas. In Kittitas Ed met Venna Eve (Evie) Farnham, and they were married on Sept. 15, 1951. During Ed’s single year in Brewster – his sophomore year – he met Danny Gebbers, who became his hunt-ing and fishing buddy, and, later, business partner, and life-long friend.

Prior to his senior year at Kittitas High School, his par-ent’s divorce found the Pariseau children essentially abandoned and they were taken in by Emily Sorenson, who was raising a large family of her own. Ed sup-ported himself through his senior year, and after a winter of haul-ing hay over Snoqualmie Pass in a semi-truck which gave a choice between using the head-lights or the heater – but not both at the same time - wan-dered into the admissions office at Central Washington College of Education for information and emerged an enrolled student. Ed and Evie’s first child, Marianne, was born in Ellensburg.

After receiving his degree in Education at Central, Ed and Evie both were hired by the Tonasket School District in 1953, where Ed taught Math and Physics until 1971, when they moved to Brewster to farm full time. Ed coached basketball and

baseball in Tonasket, taking two basketball teams to the State A tournament in 1967 and 1969. Their second child, Dan, was born there in 1954.

Taking a hiatus from teaching in Tonasket, Ed earned a National Science Foundation scholarship for his Master’s Degree, and he attended Notre Dame and Oregon State College, where he earned his M.S. in General Science in 1957. Their third child, John, was born in Corvallis, Ore.

In 1958 Ed and Evie bought 20 acres from John and Martha Gebbers on Brewster Flat and planted their first apple orchard. For many years, Ed would teach during the day, then drive to Brewster to work until dark, then drive the 60 miles back to Tonasket. Ed and Evie didn’t real-ly stop planting until 2014, when Ed’s health forced his retirement. Along the way, he and Danny Gebbers planted a partnership orchard, P&G Orchards – heav-ily skewed to Granny Smith – as well as eventually constructing downstream storage, packing and sales entities, together known as Brewster Heights Packing, Inc. (with key partners Richard and Harris Thomason).

Ed served on the boards of the Washington State Apple Commission, the Northwest Horticulture Council, and was a founding board member of North Cascades National Bank.

As one would expect of a man who was born during the dark days of the Depression and aban-doned at a young age, there was more than the usual amount of steel in Ed Pariseau. However that just was cosmetic cover for his true nature: he was really just a big teddy bear of love. He loved Evie. He loved his brothers, John and Bill. He loved his children, Marianne, Dan, and John. He loved his grandchildren, Cass, Eddie, Nicole, Reagan, Danika, Grace, Danny, Joe, Johnny, Annie, and Marie. He loved to farm. He loved to “put apples in boxes.” He loved the key employees who helped grow his business, such as Gumesindo Churape, Al Cardenas, Isabel Fernandez, and George Wessling (and many, many others). He loved bas-ketball. He loved Tonasket and the Tonasket Tigers and teach-ing math and physics. He loved Brewster. He loved the United States of America and its free-dom. He loved to fly, especially in helicopters. He loved to hunt and fish – from epic arctic sheep hunting adventures with Danny Gebbers, to trying to bag the big mule deer on Bearcat Ridge

with Danny, Mac, and Dan. He loved music and good food – especially steak, and the fare at Jim and Louise Swickard’s Café Bienville during its short but sweet run in Methow. He loved watching his brother John play basketball and baseball at the University of Washington dur-ing the 1950s; he loved watch-ing his son John play basketball for Puget Sound during the 80s, and he especially loved watch-ing grandchildren Danny and Reagan play basketball at Santa Clara and Arizona State respec-tively. He loved attending various other activities of his children and grandchildren – AAU and high school ball games, dance recitals, graduations, weddings, baptisms – the entire gamut of family life. He was determined to give his children and grand-children a better upbringing than he experienced and in that most important endeavor he succeeded fabulously.

Ed will be sorely missed by his family and friends: most acutely missed will be his active, restless, innovative, and creative intellect and his big, beating, awesome, loving heart.

Preceding him in death were his parents. He is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Evie, his children: Marianne (Russ) LeSage and their chil-dren, Cascade (Rachel Ferris) and Eddie; Dan and Candi (Bates) Pariseau and their chil-dren, Nicole (Matt) Crevier, Reagan, Danika, and Grace; John and Cathy (Gibbons) Pariseau and their children, Danny, Joe, Johnny (Ashley Fox), Annie and Marie.

Services will be held in Brewster on June 20, 2015. Services are under direction of Barnes Chapel, Brewster.

Remembrances may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project, PO Box 758517, Topeka, KS 66675

Both Olaf and Eva’s families emigrated from Scandinavia, one from Norway and the other from Sweden. The young family lived and worked on Eva’s parents’ dairy farm located just shy of the Canadian border. Mom and her sisters grew up in the pictur-esque two-story farmhouse built by their Grandpa and Grandma Anderson. Mom loved to remi-nisce about her grandmother, whom she is named after, sitting on the wide wraparound porch peeling apples and calling to her in her heavy Swedish accent. The multi-generational family embraced America, but family life was rooted in the traditions of the old country, as well, with holiday meals of lutefisk, flat bread and pickled herring.

Mom was fond of telling the story of her birth, which was in the family kitchen on the kitchen table. We are convinced that her birth on the kitchen table influ-enced the rest of her life. The kitchen was always her favorite room in our house. And the kitch-

en table was the site of wonderful meals, gathering of family and friends over coffee and the place where she and dad corralled their brood of six children to instruct, praise and chew out. We learned that during our chewing out from mom, to never make the mis-take of talking back to her or we might get chased around that kitchen table with mom swatting our backside with the broom.

Eileen attended school in Molson and graduated in 1948. She married Joshua Erwin Rowton on Nov. 21, 1948 and they raised their six children, Bruce, Dale, Verle, Risë, Evan and David on the family farm in Molson. Mom recently shared with us that she really doesn’t remember a lot about those early years because the farm, diapers, everybody getting chickenpox and measles and keeping us all fed those years are a blur. Well we remember, you and dad gave us some great memories like the time you started the house on fire. Mom loved a rip-roaring fire in the furnace and one time the fire burst from the chimney and browned the wall behind the stove. We loved the trips to Art’s Drive-In for burgers by the bagful and it took lots of bags of burgers to feed us. We remember the wonderful picnics and swimming at Lost Lake. And we remem-ber your obsession with curtains. Curtains were a great love of mom’s and changing them every few months was not unusual.

After dad passed away, mom

married Fred Floch on Sept. 5, 1987, and moved to Okanogan. Fred embraced this large, extend-ed family and brought a new twinkle to mom’s pretty blue eyes. Her life with Fred included a circle of good friends, tend-ing her flowers, keeping up with the happenings of her children, grandchildren and great-grand-children. Fred brought a new tra-dition to our family: that of a toast at family meals. So, I’ll end with a toast:

Let’s have a toast to a woman named Eileen

In our hearts she’ll always be Queen.

Even though you’re not hun-gry, she’ll give you food

And you’ll eat it, so as not to be rude.

She will love you from the start And carry you in her heart.A stronger woman you will

never find.She is steadfast and true, lov-

ing and kind.So here’s to a woman named

Eileen,In our hearts you will always

be Queen.A celebration of life will be

held Saturday, June 13 at noon at the Molson Grange Hall in Molson, Wash. Sandwiches and drinks will be provided by the family, we would appreciate your contribution of salad or dessert. iwn lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Molson Historical Society

BENJAMIN M. PRINCE

Benjamin M. Prince, 79, of Mercer Island, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and broth-er, passed away peacefully on May 5, 2015, after a 2 ½ year battle with brain cancer. Born Aug. 20, 1935, in Oroville to Ben and Hazel Prince, he graduat-ed from Oroville High School and then went on to study math and physics at the University of Washington, earning a BS and

MS and completing coursework toward a Ph.D. After a six-week courtship, he and Laura Bindrup eloped, embarking on a marriage of 55 years with three children, Ben Jr., Sharon, and Barbara.

Ben enjoyed a long career at Boeing, from his early days in the AWACS program to his path as an executive in Boeing Computer Services and Boeing Support Services, living in Seattle, Richland, and Washington, DC. In 1973, he completed an executive management pro-gram at Columbia University. Throughout his life, Ben also worked behind the scenes on the family business, Prince’s, run by his brother, Jim. He and Jim were grateful for the opportunity to carry on their father’s legacy for many years in Oroville.

Ben loved to fly small airplanes of all kinds, taking his Cessna 182 on many excursions, and even piloting float planes, gliders, and aerobatic planes. While running BCS Richland, he kept a hobby farm with a menagerie of horses and dogs and an alfalfa crop and loved his years as “horse show dad.” He also enjoyed restoring and driving British cars, especial-ly the 1954 MGTF he rebuilt from the ground up. He reveled in

the intellectual search for unique solutions to mechanical challeng-es with these quirky cars – and enjoyed the kindred spirits he knew through the MG clubs over the years. Ben was also an accom-plished jazz pianist who played by ear, as well as a talented swing dancer; jazz was the soundtrack of his life.

Despite his busy career, Ben always put family first; he was the rock and center of his family. One of the greatest joys in Ben’s life was being a grandfather to his beloved Madeline and Matt. He was a world-class grandpa, always encouraging their interests and never tiring of the fun and games.

He is survived and forever cherished by his wife, Laura; son, Ben Prince Jr.; daughters, Sharon Wells (Bill) and Barbara Prince; grandchildren, Madeline and Matt Wells; brother, Jim Prince (Marilyn); and springer spaniels Lucy and Ollie.

The memorial service will be held Saturday, May 16, at 2 p.m. at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Mercer Island, Wash. In lieu of flowers, please send remem-brances to Emmanuel Episcopal Church or Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation.

Oroville takes down Raiders on courts

Varsity boys win all matchesBY KATIE [email protected]

Oroville won all their boys’ var-sity matches when they hosted Lake Roosevelt (LR) on the tennis courts Thursday, May 7.

“We’re starting to build the team up a little,” said Head Coach Billy Monroe. “Two or three years ago, it was a little rough.”

The first boys doubles team, made up of Joe Sarmiento and Conner Bocook, beat LR’s Corban Wilder and Will Friedlander 6-0, 6-0.

“It was fun to just come out and play,” said Bocook.

Sarmiento, the team’s only senior, is in his fourth year play-ing, and Bocook, a junior, is in his second year on the team. Wilder

is a junior in his second year play-ing for LR, and Friedlander is a first-year sophomore.

Elijah Burnell, an eighth-grad-er playing first boys singles, beat Jordan Charles, an eleventh-grad-er, 6-0, 6-1. This is Burnell’s first year playing tennis, and Charles’ second year on the team.

Burnell’s father, Noah, is in his first year as assistant coach to head coach Billy Monroe.

Second boys doubles team of brothers Nick and Nate Hugus beat LR’s Malcom Carson and Aidan Derr, both freshmen, 6-2, 6-3. Nate is a sophomore and Nick is an eighth-grader.

Second boys singles Ryan Marcolin beat LR’s Isaiah Baty 6-2, 6-4.

Jaxon Blackler, playing third boys singles for Oroville, beat Christian Ruiz 6-3, 7-5.

Lily Hilderbrand, a four-year player in her senior year, beat LR’s

Harmony Witten 6-0, 6-4.“She almost came back on me,”

said Hilderbrand.Witten, also a senior, is in her

third year on Lake Roosevelt’s team.

“Billy’s a good coach. He makes it fun,” said Hilderbrand. “He’s what draws a lot of kids to play.”

“Lily’s headed to Everett Community College. She just signed a letter of intent to play basketball. She’s a good kid. She’s got a good mom,” John Hilderbrand said of his daughter Lily and wife Cori.

Second girls singles player sophomore Lena Fuchs lost her match against Areielle White, a junior at Lake Roosevelt, 6-3, 6-1.

Playing third girls singles is Ellamae Burnell, a junior in her first year on the team. She lost her match 6-2, 6-1 to LR’s Loryn Moore, an eighth-grader.

“Ellamae was at the radio sta-tion in Omak at 8 a.m. this morn-ing, promoting the May Day Festivities,” said Coach Burnell. “So it’s been a long day for her.” Ellamae Burnell is this year’s May Fest Queen.

Playing first girls doubles were Hilderbrand and Mikayla Scott, a junior and May Fest Princess. They scored 6-0, 6-0 against LR sisters Alaynah Herman and Mary Clark, but agreed to play the game as a forfeit in LR’s favor, as Hi l d e r br and had already played a varsity match that day.

“ M i k a y l a won’t be able to be at District’s in Omak next w e e k e n d , because she will be in the Lilac Parade in Spokane. So I’ll do first singles for Districts and today’s forfeit won’t affect that,” said Hilderbrand.

Jayden Meiers and Jewel Vanderwaal played second girls doubles for Oroville, losing 2-6, 1-6 to Tanya Ang and Rylee Pitner.

Lake Roosevelt is coached by Steve and Janice Archer.

“Their team has definitely come a long way with him as coach,” Janice said of Monroe. “He’s really built the program.”

A fourth-grade teacher in his third year at Oroville Elementary School, Monroe assisted coach-

ing the tennis team in 2011/12 before moving up to Head Coach. A 2007 Tonasket High School graduate, Monroe was a three-time State placer for the Tigers’ tennis team.

“I got into tennis when I was in high school because my uncle was the head ten-nis coach,” said Monroe.

Districts will be in Omak Saturday, May 16. As this goes to press, the lineup is

as follows: First Boys Singles, Nathan Hugus; Second Boys Singles, Jaxon Blackler; First Boys Doubles, Joe Sarmiento and Conner Bocook; Second Boys Doubles, Elijah Burnell and Ryan Marcolin. Girls headed to Districts: First Girls Singles, Lily Hilderbrand; Second Girls Singles, Lena Fuchs; First Girls Doubles, Jewel Vanderwaal and Jayden Meiers. Anyone placing in the top four will qualify for Regionals.

“Tennis is one of the few sports where the B schools still play the A schools to get to State,” said Monroe. “We will go against Omak, Chelan, Cascade and Cashmere, so it will be tough.”


Ethan Bensing is currently in sec-ond place for District 6 Men in Long Jump and Triple Jump, behind Okanogan’s Mason Guerrette. Tonasket’s Rose Walts is currently in first place in both events among District 6 Women.

As this article goes to press, the Tonasket Tigers will have to win both softball games against Lake Roosevelt Tuesday, May 12, to play the Oroville Hornets to see who will go to Districts.

Tonasket hosted Bridgeport for a doubleheader Saturday, May 2.

The Tigers lost the first game 3-15, and the second game 2-22.

In the first game, the Tigers first two runs were on walks to first. Sam Keller earned the third run after stealing second and third base before being batted in.

In the second game, Olivia Sutton scored the first run and Vanessa Pershing scoring the sec-ond.

“Is that the same pitcher you had last year?” Bridgeport parent Benny Polvos asked of Pershing, a junior. “She’s come a long way. That’s a good little pitcher you’ve got.” Polvos is the parent of ShayLee Polvos, first baseman and power hitter for the Fillies.

Henry Austin is in his second year as head coach at Bridgeport after two years as assistant coach.

Tigers drop two to Fillies


Tonasket catcher Lexi Wahl dives for Viri Santana, with back-up by pitcher Vanessa Pershing during the first of two losses to Bridgeport Saturday, May 2.


The Hornets made the Bulldogs work for a second win when Oroville hosted Okanogan for a doubleheader Saturday, May 2. Oroville lost the first game 0-22 and the second game 12-23.

Okanogan is currently first in the league with 15 conference wins and one loss.

“It was a great second game,” said Head Coach Dane Forrester. “We fought hard in the first game, but we didn’t work together as a team like we did in the second game.”

Okanogan Coach Darin Radke

is in his sixth year coaching the Bulldogs.

As this paper goes to press, if the Hornets sweep Bridgeport in a doubleheader scheduled for Tuesday, May 12, they will com-pete in Districts with a play-in game Thursday, May 14. Because the North division of Central Washington B League has five teams and the South division only has four, the play-in game deter-mines who goes on to District play-offs.

If Tonasket also wins both their games against Lake Roosevelt Tuesday, May 12, there will be a three-way tie between the Hornets, Tigers and Fillies.

Hornets fight hard against #1 team in league


Pie Todd succesfully dives back to second base after attempting to steal third base in the bottom of the third inning during Saturday’s second game of the doubleheader against the Bulldogs. Todd went on to score the third run.


Alexis Allenby heads home for Oroville’s first run of the day in the bottom of the second inning of Saturday’s second game against Okanogan. Wendy Ortega scored the second run, right after Allenby.


First baseman Sydney Egerton easily tags out Okanogan runner Amanda Erks during Saturday’s double header against the Bulldogs.


Faith Martin chased Okanogan’s Nicole Marchand nearly all the way back to third base to tag her out when she attempted to steal home. Martin had solid back-up in this play by pitcher Courtnee Kallstrom and third baseman Rachelle Nutt.

Members of the North Okanogan Country Car Club view a private collection of classic cars in Chelan with the season opening ‘run’ that included a BBQ lunch. Some of the NOCC club’s prized wheels can be viewed at this weekend’s Blues Fest in Oroville, or in the Tonasket Founders Day Parade May 30.

North Country Car Club cruises into busy seasonNext event Rally at the Border Blues Fest in OrovilleBY KATIE [email protected]

The North Okanogan Country Car Club kicked off its season of cruising Saturday, April 18, with a run to Chelan to view a pri-vate collection of classic cars and enjoy a BBQ lunch.

The club of about 20 mem-bers plans different activities for spring, summer and fall, with an annual car show at the Tonasket Rodeo Grounds. Some of the car club’s prized wheels can be viewed at this weekend’s Rally at the Border Blues Fest in Oroville May 16-17.

The club takes a run to Republic May 23, and will cruise in the Tonasket Founders Day Parade May 30.

The annual North Country Car Club Car Show will be held Saturday, June 20, at the Tonasket Rodeo Grounds from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will include a Silent Auction and Tractor

Slow Drag. Top Four Awards go to Best Paint, Best Upholstery, Best Engine and Besto of Show. Awards for first through third place are given in 17 categories, including Motorcycles, Trucks, Tractors, Teenage, Antique and Newer. There is even a category called ‘project’ for things still in the works.

The organization is open to anyone “who is interested in and loves cars for something other than just transportation.” Teenagers are especially invited.

Individual/Family membership is just $15 per year and includes a monthly newsletter. Meetings are on the fourth Tuesday of each month all year long at Whistlers Family Restaurant in Tonasket, unless otherwise noted in the newsletter (the group occasion-ally does a potluck or picnic at someone’s home). The group meets at 6:30 p.m. with meetings

beginning at 7 p.m. All ages are welcome.

Extra money gathered from membership dues and event activities, as well as support-ers and private individuals who donate, is given to organizations of the club’s choosing. In the past they have purchased items forthe Tonasket Senior Center, pur-chased tool for Tonasket High School’s Agriculture class, and purchased clothing and blan-kets for North Valley Hospital’s Extended Care.

“We give back to the commu-nity, and we bring business to the area with people coming to our car shows stopping in town for meals and shopping,” said President Patti Hill.

For more information, contact Hill at 509-429-2983 or [email protected] or Vice President Lee Chapman at 509-476-4626 or [email protected].

OMAK – Okanogan Valley Orchestra and Chorus (OVOC) will be doing a second run this weekend (May 15, 16 and 17) of ‘Into the Woods’ at the Omak Performing Arts Center.

A conglomerate of classic fairy tales with original spins, the pro-gram includes music and lyrics composed by Stephen Sondheim. Six-time producer for OVOV Kim Harriman said it was prob-ably “the most difficult show we have done, in regards to vocals and orchestration.” But he said the cast has really stepped up to learn everything, adding, “It just goes to show you how people can rise to the occasion even if you set expectations high.”

Rising to the occasion are cast members and production assis-tants from Chelan, Oroville, Nespelem and other areas sur-rounding Omak. Samantha Rabenold of Oroville is heading the props department of the pro-duction.

Bestsy Rainsford, cast as the Witch, said the raw clay of the cast has been molded into a show by not only Director Judy Johnston, but also by Music Director and Pianist Kathryn Castrodale and Vocal Directors Jonathan

McBride and Matt Brown.“These are people that keep

striving for us to reach our pin-nacle with gentle guidance, knowledge, humor and unbridled energy,” said Rainsford. “I am so grateful to have this opportuni-ty to experience this beautiful event!”

Friday and Saturday shows start at 7 p.m. and the Sunday matinee

at 3 p.m. Tickets are available at the front door or online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1428621, as well as the following locations: Oroville Pharmacy, Brewster Drug, Roy’s Pharmacy in Tonasket, The Corner Shelf and Havillah Road Business Services in Omak and Rawson’s in Okanogan.

Joe Thornton first among 152 competitorsTHE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

WENATCHEE - The Tonasket fourth grade Math is Cool team took second place at Regionals in Wenatchee April 17, with Joe Thornton taking first place in the individual competitions.

“I’m lucky,” said Thornton, “math has always just come easy to me.”

Thornton was the top fourth grader among all Division II schools in North Central Washington, from Oroville to Yakima.

Tonasket’s team of 20 students, coached by Scott Olson and Kari Alexander, competed with 152 students from 12 schools. Isaiahs Sanchez took 11th place, and coming in at 14th place was Sarah Silverthorn.

“I am very proud of the kids’ academic performance and for the way they represented our community while traveling,” said Jeremy Clark, Tonasket Elementary School Principal. “They brought home a beautiful plaque for our trophy case.”

Thornton will be competing at the State level, along with the 5th grade Math is Cool team, when they travel to the Masters Competition in Moses Lake May 16.

SUBMITTED BY KRISTIN SARMIENTOOROVILLE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

Oroville High School has been offering Running Start and College in the High School Classes for the three years now.

The Running Start program consists of high school juniors and seniors taking college credit courses and receiving dual credit for them. For example, a student taking a RS U.S. History course would receive five credits from the college or university as well as one credit of high school credit for the same class.

We first began offering Running Start classes through Eastern Washington University during the 2012-2013 school

year. Our partnership with EWU allowed us to offer a U.S. History course. During the next school year those classes expanded with English 101 and 320 being offered through EWU and U.S. History and CWP being offered through Spokane Falls Community Colleges.

During the 2014-15 school year we have expanded these courses yet again and now are working with EWU, SFCC as well as Central Washington University. Through EWU we are offering two English courses for a total of 10 credits. SFCC cours-es have increased to 10 credits of US History and five credits of Political Science for a total of 15 credits. The courses we added through CWU this year were

Computer Technology, Spanish I, Advanced Biology, Pre Calculus I and Pre Calculus II.

Currently a student could grad-uate from Oroville High School with 50 college credits. We are looking at which classes we can add to our program next year and we will continue to work with our partnering colleges and universi-ties as well as Washington state to try to achieve our goal of stu-dents having the option to earn an AA Degree without ever having to leave our high school campus.

If you would like more infor-mation about the college courses that we currently are offering to our students then please call the high school office at 509-476-3612 or email me at [email protected]

OHS increasing college credit opportunities


TONASKET - The Tonasket School Board voted to approve a change of name for the Tonasket Alternative School on Monday, May 11.

Lead teacher Chelsea Freeman and students Jacob Reisner-Callum and Matthew Burton pre-sented the request at the April 27 school board meeting.

The students voiced concern over negative stigma associat-ed with the word ‘alternative,’ and said they “didn’t want to be known as the bad kids or losers or whatever else people think” when the students said they attended the alternative school.

Freeman said school staff and students work hard to commu-nicate with the public about all the good things the school does, including each student being required to ten hours of volunteer work per year.

“But we’ve gotten sugges-tions from others and WALA (Washington Association for Learning Alternatives) suggest-ing ALE (Alternative Learning Experience) schools change their name and take out ‘alternative,’ said Freeman.

The new name chosen by

students and staff is Tonasket Choice High School. They’ve also chosen a new motto; a quote by Carl Jung: “I am not what has happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”

“We think choice supports our vision for the future of this school,” said Freeman. “Students have to make a choice every day to attend school, they choose their attitude every day, they choose to be a part of our school commu-nity, and they make a choice to change their own lives.”

Choices made by students have led to test scores reflecting 58% of students had met the NWEA growth goals for the year as of January, and 62% for math.

“It is important to note that those are our test scores as of January, which represents the halfway point of the year. By the end of the year we expect to hit at least the district requirement of 80% meeting growth goals in math and reading,” said Freeman.

Students presenting for the school board pointed out they really appreciated Enrichment Class activities being available for kids who score at or above grade level on CFAs (Common Formative Assessments). Freeman said the CFAs are given regularly in math and English

classes to make sure all students are at the level of understanding they should be, adding this year the school tried to use a lot of the same CFAs used by the high school.

Enrichment class offerings available to the kids so far this year include macrame, plaster mask making, debate, class film critique, values flags, song analy-sis, watercolor painting and pie making.

The students also expressed enjoyment of a cooking class, offered for the first time this year since 2009/10.

“Cooking class took place thanks to Jana Ewing, because she came and taught that class while I took my prep period first semester,” said Freeman. “Jana is a substitute teacher in our district, and in order to teach that class she missed a lot of sub days. We are grateful to her for that, and the kids loved the class!”

Tonasket Alternative School is choosing to organize the first-ever reunion for all past and cur-rent graduates and staff. Freeman expressed her desire to the school board to be able to announce the new name of the school at the reunion, still in the planning stag-es. The school opened in 1995
