Osoyoos man is former Oroville resident and out on $1000 bail Story courtesy of our sister newspaper in B.C. published by Black Press: PENTICTON WESTERN NEWS WWW.PENTICTONWESTERN.COM LANGLEY, BC - An Osoyoos man is facing charges for allegedly smuggling guns into Canada from the U.S. that were being sold to various gang-related groups in the Okanagan and Lower Mainland. Tyler Ryan Cuff, 30, was charged with two counts of unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm and one count of careless use of a firearm contravening storage regulations and firearms trafficking. (G-T Editor’s Note: Cuff made his first court appearance Monday, Sept. 16 in the Surrey Provincial Court and was granted bail of $1000 and released. He makes his next court appearance on Oct. 16 to obtain legal counsel.) “We all know that guns in the hands of gangsters put everyone at risk,” said Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia Sgt. Lindsey Houghton. “We are continuing to work with law enforcement partners across North America to stop gun violence in our neighborhoods and by stopping the flow of guns going to gangsters we are making communities around British Columbia safer.” Cuff’s arrest is the result of an inves- tigation that began with a tip in May and CFSEU-BC began an undercover investigation, dubbed Project E-Passkey after it was learned the man was liv- ing in Osoyoos. Investigators allege Cuff used his dual citizenship status to legally purchase firearms at various Washington State gun shows and using a truck and car to smuggle the guns through the Oroville, Wash./Osoyoos border cross- ing. Houghton alleges the dozens of guns, believed to be mostly Glock handguns were being smuggled. Cuff, who has no criminal record and was not previously known to police, was arrested on Aug. 29 without incident in Langley after alleg- edly selling an undercover police officer a semi-automatic assault-style Norinco MAK-90 rifle and several steroid kits. The CFSEU-BC investigation is ongo- ing and they are currently examining whether any firearms Cuff is alleged to have smuggled and sold have any connections to other police investiga- tions, how many firearms may have been brought into Canada and how many guns may have been sold and to whom. “The Canada Border Services Agency is proud to be working closely with other law enforcement agencies as part of CFSEU-BC. These partnerships are invaluable and are proving to be essential in the detection, interception, and pros- ecution of those involved in the conduct of illegal activity,” said Canada Border Services Agency Executive Director, Pacific Region, Kim Scoville. “Today’s announcement is another example of the success of these initiatives.” Cuff was released from custody and his next court appearance is on Sept. 13 at 8:30 a.m. in Surrey Provincial Court. Last October two Penticton men were arrested for their alleged involvement in an international gun trafficking ring, and subsequently released. During the vehi- cle stop, officers found seven firearms and prohibited firearms-related devices including a silencer in the car. This was part of a 10-month inves- tigation that also began after a tip. Undercover police officers purchased numerous guns and accessories off of Craigslist that are illegal in Canada in the investigation named Project E-Nimbus. The now deceased Vernon man, Riley Stewart Kotz, was the primary target and was formally arrested and charged with 34 firearms related offenses. Officers also searched houses in the 400 block of Bennett Street and 200-block of Sandstone Crescent in Penticton, a stor- age locker in the 9900 block of Victoria South Road in Summerland and a home in Vernon. From these properties they seized close to 40 firearms. Simultaneous to the arrests, warrants were executed in Pace, Florida where a woman associated with the suspect was arrested.

STRATEGIC PLANNING The hospital district’s senior leadership and Board of Commissioners worked through a two-day strategic planning session in late August. According to Michel’s report five goals and focus areas were identified: • healthcare and service needs of the community including the completion of the second operating room, community education regarding wellness, and other goals; • community stewardship with a focus on partnering with other organizations to provide immunization clinics; • “fiscal wellness,” with a goal of having 90 days of cash on hand; • facilities management with a focus on completing the move into the Verbeck Building (former Assisted Living); • and governance/board education.

With the Tonasket Police in danger of being paralyzed by the failure of its aging fleet of vehicles, Burks gave his blessing to the Tonasket City Council’s plan to allow the use of funds originally intended for the construction of a new police building to purchase up to $10,000 worth of vehicle. Whether that means one or two cars will be determined by what Burks can find in the used police vehicle market. To avoid spending money it didn’t have, the council approved using money from the Police Cumulative Fund, which accumulates money periodically and currently holds more than $40,000 resulting from the sale of the old fire hall property to the Tonasket EMS District several years ago. The money was intended to go toward the construction of a new “cop shop,” but technically could be used for any coun- cil-approved capital expenditure. The council unanimously approved the use of those funds after a lengthy discussion. Council member Jean Ramsey wanted to be sure that Burks was OK with using some of that money for a vehicle. “So you appreciate that I appreciate this,” she said, “You’re OK spending money out of your dream cop shop for what you need now?” “To be honest,” Burks said, “I’ll be long retired before we can build anything.

The (Okanogan) coun- ty commissioners agree we need to say in the RTPO, that regional planning is important,” said Branch. The Heavy Freight Corridor, from the Canadian border to the railhead in Oroville, continues to be an important asset to the area’s economy, as well as the health of the Cascade and Columbia River Railway, according to Branch. The railway runs the short line from Oroville to Wenatchee and in Oroville it serves Oroville Reman and Reload, Zosel Lumber Company and the Weyerhaeuser Chip Plant. “There has been some talk about extending the corridor to Omak.

Part of the argument for the corridor was this railhead in Oroville was to put freight out of Canada on the rails and make the railway viable,” said Branch. “Columbia River Carbonate (located by the Janice Bridge south of Tonasket) can’t afford to lose its connec- tion to the railroad and run that business by truck.” Extending the corridor would also mean the highway between the Oroville and Omak would be more expensive to maintain because it needs to be kept at a level to handle heavier trucks. Currently that level of maintenance is needed for less than five miles, if it is extended it would be closer to 40.

PENTICTON WESTERN NEWSWWW.PENTICTONWESTERN.COM

LANGLEY, BC - An Osoyoos man is facing charges for allegedly smuggling guns into Canada from the U.S. that were being sold to various gang-related groups in the Okanagan and Lower Mainland.

Tyler Ryan Cuff, 30, was charged with two counts of unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm and one count of careless use of a firearm contravening storage regulations and firearms trafficking.

(G-T Editor’s Note: Cuff made his first court appearance Monday, Sept. 16 in the Surrey Provincial Court and was granted bail of $1000 and released. He makes

his next court appearance on Oct. 16 to obtain legal counsel.)

OROVILLE – When Chris Branch, Oroville’s director of Community Development addressed the chamber of commerce, he said the questions he gets most recently involve transporta-tion, tourism, trails and trees, as well as mosquitos and marijuana.

He said these, along with sewer and water, seem to be the topics most on the people of Oroville’s mind.

Branch has served on a number boards, including the Okanogan Trails Scenic Byways, the Tourism Advisory Board and the Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO).

North Central RTPO serves Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan counties. Branch

said there was a move to concentrate on just Chelan and Douglas county projects.

“Members of the RTPO wanted to vote to take us out and there were huge objec-tions,” said Branch.

BY SUPT. STEVE QUICKOROVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT

OROVILLE - The Veranda Beach Homeowners Association has continued to show an abun-dance of support for our local schools via donations and col-laboration.

For the second year in a row the homeowners at Veranda Beach

have offered up their swimming pool to our fourth grade stu-dents for swim lessons. Students have been instructed by three instructors from Okanogan since Labor Day: Brendan Colbert, Zoe Cheeseman, and Chelsea Myers. All three instructors worked at the Okanogan pool this sum-mer as instructors and lifeguards and are headed to college later this month. They have extreme amounts of patience and do an amazing job teaching our stu-dents how to swim.

Classes have been held each afternoon, and the weather has cooperated quite nicely this year, especially given that the asso-ciation has allowed us pool use in the afternoons from noon to 2:30 p.m. Last year lessons were done in the morning when the air was a little more brisk.

Learning to swim is a skill that will serve our students well into the future and very well may save their lives someday. The district is grateful for Veranda’s homeown-ers and managers willingness to cooperate with us in this endeav-or for the second year in a row.

The Homeowners Association also held their own auction last year and donated a consider-able amount of money towards the purchase of some new play-ground equipment at our elemen-tary school. Coupled with replac-ing the old sand with new pea

gravel and new rubber curbing, the new equipment has made a significant positive impact on our playground this year. The stu-dents of all ages love the newly installed equipment.

Finally, it is important to note that the Booster Club will be holding its first auction of the year out at Veranda Beach on Saturday, Sept. 21. Happy Hour and the silent auction are at 4 p.m. and dinner is at 5 p.m. by the Breadline at the Beach. The live auction starts at 6 p.m. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Dinner tickets can be pur-chased at the Oroville Pharmacy, the Breadline at Veranda, or you can find your favorite Booster Club member who will help you. Purchasing advanced tickets is encouraged as dinner is limited to 85. All are welcome at 6 p.m. and no ticket is required to attend the auction itself.

The school district is highly

appreciative of the homeown-ers and their willingness to be a

strong partner with the us and our community.

money in it. It’s got a transmis-sion problem and an air condi-tioning problem, leaking freon or something. You get what you pay for.”

Burks said previous councils twice approved funds for a vehi-cle purchase and once denied the money altogether.

Council member Dennis Brown asked why Burks was coming to the council now, rather than including a vehicle purchase in his budget.

“I have the past couple of years,” Burks started, before Mayor Patrick Plumb interrupted.

“In his defense, he presented that at last year’s budget and it was stricken (by the council),” he said. “We voted on that bud-get here. Now we’re to where we aren’t sure we can keep all the cops in a car.”

“We’ve talked about this, we’ve had a meeting about this,” said council member Claire Jeffko. “The money is there. My God, we need a police car.”

Burks said that, with the help of EMS director Michael Greene, he had researched a number of auction sites and estimated that $7,500-$10,000 could get a used car in good shape that was four to five years old with 55,000-65,000 miles on it.

“I’m not buying an 80-90,000 (mile) car,” he said. “One of the places we’ve been looking at will let you look at the car and make an offer before it goes to auction. So you may get cheaper than these prices here, even.”

Burks added that most cars come with most police-specific equipment installed other than radios, which reserve officer Justin Wilson is capable of install-ing.

“The $10,000 is a hard limit,” Plumb clarified. “That has to include taxes, equipment and licensing.”

Ramsey made the motion, with Jeffko providing the second.

The council next meets on Tuesday, Sept. 24.

Branch said before any deci-sion to change the Heavy Freight Corridor is made by the state a number of issues need to be considered including the need to extend it, how it would affect the railway and how it would affect businesses here in town.

“When planning sometimes someone has an idea without really looking at the bigger issues and how the change fits the big-ger picture. In this case if they downplay the railroad, the rail-road could go away,” he said.

Branch said the new county commissioners have placed less emphasis on the county’s trails.

“The commissioners seem to be backing away from trails,” he said, adding that the county’s trail system creates tourism.

“A lot of people ask about the trails at the Visitor Information Center... they are a generator of tourism and are important to people looking for somewhere to live,” Branch said.

While the city purchased land to create a trailhead to the Similkameen Trail it turned the property over to the county when they applied for a trails develop-ment grant. Branch said there is a chance the county may want to return the trailhead to the city.

Oroville will have to decide whether it wants to reassume responsibility for a large portion of the Similkameen Trail, accord-ing to Branch.

More on Branch’s discussion with the Oroville Chamber of Commerce next week.

It goes without saying that our nation owes a debt of gratitude to all the active duty members of our military and the veterans who have served throughout our country’s history. Thanks is due to the extraor-dinary men and women called to serve our country. The safety of the American people and the very freedoms and values that the United

States was founded on has been preserved for the last 237 years because of their hard work and patriotism. In order to ensure our military remains the best in the world, we must continue to enroll the highest caliber individuals in our nation’s military academies each year.

As your Representative in Congress, I’m honored to have the opportunity each year to nominate Central Washington students to the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in New York and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York.

The military academies offer students a first class education and the opportunity to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree. Admission to

these highly selective service academies also includes a full four-year scholarship, which covers tuition, room and board, medical care, and a monthly salary. Students graduating from the academies will do so as military officers, and must agree to serve our country in the military for at least five years after graduation.

It is an honor for me to assist local students in this way as they pursue their education and career goals. Not only are military academies a tre-mendous chance to earn a four-year degree, but the career opportunities provided are invaluable. In addition to countless distinguished military careers, notable alumni have gone on to win Olympic gold medals, serve in Congress, become Presidents of the United States, and even reach beyond earth’s outer limits as astronauts.

All high school students who are interested in learning more about applying to attend a Service Academy are encouraged to visit the “Need Help” section of my website at www.hastings.house.gov to review the requirements and download an online application. For addi-tional information or questions about service academy nominations, please call Sara Schwan in my Tri-Cities office at (509) 543-9396. All congressional applications must be received in my office by November 1, 2013 to be considered.

Hastings is Chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources. The committee has jurisdiction over most federal land use and water policies, including national forests, national parks and monuments, wilderness areas, national scenic areas, Indian reservations and BLM lands.

Of importance to Central Washington and the Pacific Northwest, the Committee oversees the Bonneville Power Administration, Bureau of Reclamation irrigation projects (Columbia Basin Project and Yakima Project), endangered species recovery, federal hydropower projects, Payment-In-Lieu-Of-Taxes (PILT) payments and firefighting on federal lands.

MandavolunteeringOPINION BY WILLIAM SLUSHER

Bah, humbug; Scrooge, thy name art Bill. I say any policy of our public schools mandat-ing ‘volunteer’ public service by students is a bad idea and a worse omen.

I’m not saying volunteer public service is a bad thing. It’s noble and often vital. I’m say-ing that schools requiring it of students is just another bad sign of our public education sys-tem not seeing beyond its fad sniffing nose. In the evolving globalism age this is economic and social suicide.

Anecdotes usually don’t make the rule but I fear a long hard look at today’s public education system indicates these will do for illustration:

In the Stone Age, my daughter’s 5th grade teacher sent her home crying, having told the class that Vietnam veterans (like her daddy) were “war criminals.” They probably still remember me at Franklin Elementary School.

Just this past high school year my fresh-man grandson’s history teacher compelled a final exam where students were required to select a popular ‘rap’ song, convert the lyrics to a Renaissance era theme, and sing same before the class. From this the most important grade of the year in history was to somehow be objectively derived. Grandson refused to sing for his grade because he thought it was a damned poor way to measure how well he knew history having scored 586 of 600 (high-est in his class) on the Virginia Standards of Learning history exam. He was given an F.

My daughter and I appealed, the ‘Renaissance rap’ final exam was ordered permanently dropped, and grandson’s VSL score was made his final grade. The teacher went Hannibal Lecter on me, bawling that the kids were “tired” of conventional exams after a long year, he felt he needed to “push the students out of their comfort envelope,”most of his students “loved” him for the exam, and

now, because of me, he could no longer use it. I answered that his first objection was irrel-evant, the second and third were not his job, and I regarded the fourth as letting him off too lightly. The conversation did not go well and now the Virginia department of public educa-tion knows his name.

These instances are not so aberrant exam-ples of public education’s devolving depar-ture from teaching the essentials of obtain-ing rewarding employment to an increasing theme of social indoctrination, largely along liberal lines, hence, in part, the oxymoronic ‘mandatory volunteering’ for public service to graduate.

An elementary school teacher recently bragged unabashedly about the many hours she spent having her students ‘volunteer’ to go to old folks homes (on school time), write cards to African kids, recite MLK’s ‘Dream’ speech, make cardboard presents for urban poverty kids, sell drawings to raise money for an animal shelter, and many more social projects that would have been ducky except there’s no practical job market therefor.

I hear you. Students need a ‘well rounded’ education. Granted, within perspective, but American students as a group have become so well rounded they’ve rolled right off the global education scoreboard.

We’re in serious trouble, America. Our high schools (between seemingly endless teacher strikes) graduate something in the sixties percentile of students nationally. The South Koreans (with non-union teachers) graduate 93%.

American teachers wail that things are dif-ferent here: minority groups (their words), the

devaluation of education in America, failed parenting, etc., and they’re at least partly right. But it’s still an excuse, and America’s time for excuses is long over.

We need a radical education overhaul, most of which will not require additional money. America must determine where jobs are going to be in the predictable future and public education must revamp narrowly to make American students the best in the world at them, be it welding, healthcare, teaching, building, engineering or theoretical physics. We have no choice and we’d better wake up to it yesterday. American schools have no time, budget or mandate for social molding. It’s ... not ... their ... job. They must convert to job expert molding, soonest, whatever it takes.

I don’t devalue all teaching not designed to most quickly produce the most productive workers in the world, I say that regrettably we no longer have the luxury, time or money for anything else. American schools must rebuild from pre-school through college to produce viciously competitive, expert workers. After they graduate to good jobs, because they are the best in world at doing them, and they earn a good living, then we can restructure adult education toward rounding them out with the invaluable liberal arts.

So. Let’s start with teaching only what makes us affirmatively competitive on the world labor market, and eliminate the school social indoctrination that is the parents’ job to begin with. Toward this end, let us leave wor-thy volunteer public service to the churches, social clubs, and parents to organize and encourage students to perform on their own time.

Military Academy nominations: An opportunity for students to serve

Focus on Smith’s positions

Dear Editor,I love that politics is a con-

tact sport, so, though I currently favor our 7th District Senator John Smith in the coming elec-tion, I don’t get all huffy read-ing the contrived slime-slinging against him. Seems his wife’s grandfather apparently had to do with some uber-right wing church that the Southern Poverty Law Center divines a hate group. I also appreciate a good irrel-evant, salacious sneer like how old Senator Smith’s wife was when he married her (16, he was 23, it is said).

Now, I like John’s opponent Brian Dansel (he just introduced his lovely mother to me at the fair). I think he’d be good for the 7th district too, and I take issue elsewhere in print with John’s policy about mandatory volun-

teer work for students.But I’m thinking, it’s curious

that a candidate’s opponents go to such preposterous extremes as a granddaddy-in-law’s ancient religious views and the marriage age of the candidate’s wife (of many years and children) to criti-cize him. What that tells me as a responsible voter is ... they can’t find anything substantive in the Senator’s platform, policies or performance to complain about ... or they’d be complaining about it.

What do I care if Smith’s granddaddy-in-law belonged to some church that the SPLC calls a ‘hate group’? Shoot, the SPLC itself is a ‘hate group’ under its own definition by virtue of being ‘hostile’ and ‘hateful’ and at least litigationally ‘violent’ against most every non-liberal group it despises. On Google, a lot of credible folks allege SPLC hon-cho Morris Dees is a duplicitous,

money-grubbing charlatan.And picture this beauty: Some

of the ‘Ark’ church criticism of Smith’s grand in-law I’m reading comes from Spokane Democrats who apparently thought nothing of recently twice electing a presi-dent who was himself a card-car-rying member of a ‘hate group’ church that damned America and other races right up to his first campaign. Who’d a thunk it?

What I want to know is what has Senator Smith done in the state senate - if anything - that is harmful to the 7th district? Where’s the objective evidence? How will Brian do the job better?

I’ve also met Dezarae Smith and she didn’t exactly strike me as some oppressed child-bride victim. She seemed a sharp, poised, positive young mother and as far as I could tell a fine spouse for a good politician. What I want to know is what the fazoolie the Smiths’ ages at mar-riage has to do with the policies Senator Smith will support in Olympia. What’s he gonna do? Sponsor a bill for marrying high-school girls? Nnnnnah. I doubt it. Besides, I’m already married.

So, don’t get righteous over dirty politics, for it has too many disparate, partisan definitions. Just always ask yourself what it legitimately has to do with any candidate’s demonstrated posi-tions.

William SlusherRiverside

Does Sen. Smith owe favors?

Dear Editor,

Elections in large districts can be difficult for voters. It is dif-ficult to personally know the can-didates. Over the years we hear campaign promises and after the election those we have voted into office develop amnesia. We read the letters to the editor and won-der about the information shared.

I for the first time in my 30 plus years of voting decided to check the State PDC (Campaign funds raised by candidates, it lists who gave and how much) I was shocked by the amount of money our current State Senator has received from outside the 7th District. Whereas, Brian Dansel’s funds are all local businesses and people.

After researching those figures I went to the candidate’s County Auditor’s web-site and found the voting results of the Primary. 63 percent of Smith’s neighbors, those who know him best, voted against him. Interestedly, I found that the town of Colville where Smith has had several businesses and interactions, voted against Smith by 59 percent.

On the other hand, Brian Dansel received 77 percent of his neighbors’ vote.

If you are like me and have limited personal knowledge of a person’s character and actions, just look for those who do. After all my research I will be voting for Brian Dansel and am sharing with any, and all who will listen, because I want a Senator who doesn’t owe favors to special interest groups and has gained the respect of his neighbors.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings

4th Dist. - WA

Page 6: Okanogan Valley Gazette-Tribune, September 19, 2013

Predictions are for a real drop in tem-peratures. Going down into the 50’s this week. A recent trip over Steven’s pass has noticeable coloring happening on some of the trees. All signs of fall.

I’ve mentioned this in years past, that the colors of the flowers seem to become more vibrant and the tomatoes and other fresh vegetables become tastier as the end of the gardening season comes to an end, as if they are giving one last hurrah! At this time it would seem most appro-priate for me to give a huge thank you to those who have generously supplied us with the many tasty items from their gardening efforts.

Twelve years have passed since 9/11 and the terrible atrocity that took place in

New York City, and war talk still lingers on. It would seem that our nation will never be the same.

Football season has begun. For some reason that sport seems more popular than any of the others. I try to watch a game, now and then, but I still can’t keep up with the ball and it seems so rough, as they all run down the field and pile on top of each other, and then seem happy that no one got injured. Strange game to me! And the outrageous prices to attend the games, these days. Wow!

Mary Lou’s Gift shop has moved onto Main Street in the old Engstrom building and how nice it is to have space to spread out the many “gifty” things she has. Start your Christmas shopping early there and

other places in town that you perhaps have not been into recently, or ever.

Still don’t know the plans of Peggy’s Shop, for haircuts etc.

Guess what? A real live, sizable cougar was sighted at the “Y” in the county road near Ehler’s road and a bear was closer than I’d care about seeing, by Tim Whitaker’s (near the flower shop on Hwy. 97 north. A bear was also very near the residence of the Don and Jo Dixon, on Molson grade.

October 14 is the day for the apple (Catholic Church) pies. They are taking orders now and pick-up date is the 14th. This is an annual fund raiser for the local church.

Watch for lotsa yard sales, these next few weeks before cold weather sets in. Go through your winter coats and if you didn’t wear it last winter, maybe it’s time to pass it on to someone who needs

it more than you do. United Methodist Church is having sales Sept. 27 and 28

and Oct. 4 and 5.Then before we know it

the pre-Christmas bazaars will be in the making.

HINT: Before running your pickup truck through the automatic car wash be sure and check to see that you don’t have a filled gar-bage sack containing alumi-num cans in the back. Yes, there is a story behind this, but I’m not gonna embarrass the nice lady about the inci-dent. That has already been

done. Just close your eyes and imagine the results.

We made another visit to the hospital to see Bob Hirst. He is a bit stronger but still has multiple health issues, that hope-fully time will help with. Also stopped at the Extended Care Center and saw Kay (Sherling) Tracy, Rita Nigg, Bill Hilderbrand, Betty Descateaux, Beverly

Roth, and Jean Curtis. It is very evident that Jean spends a lot of time outside, as she has a terrific tan.

The recent Red Cross blood draw that was held at the U.M. Church was very successful going several pints over the allotted quota.

The Booster Club will be holding another of their fund raising auctions this Saturday. This one is being held at Veranda Beach, a first I believe

While you are enjoying the tasty peaches, probably the last crop of the year, remember how good a fresh peach sundae is.

The fruit stand south on Hwy. 97 is open and being operated by the folks that had the concession stand at the park, which closed after Labor Day. So there are still places to obtain fresh produce, so you’d better try and take advantage of the good things available, “cause it’s a long time ‘til next year.”

Soon there will be the pumpkin patch, I guess, which provides fun for the little ones to get their jack ‘o lanterns.

Flower Power FundraisingSubmITTed by dArAlyn HollenbecknCW blue Star MOtherS

Thinking ahead to next Spring’s color pallet for your garden? We can help you while you help us!

Military moms are cur-rently selling flower bulbs and plants through Flower Power Fundraising who will give 50 percent of all purchases made through our site back to the NCW Blue Star Mothers! All bulbs will come to you from “Gardener’s Supply” and “Dutch Gardens,” two well known mail-order gardening companies out of Vermont.

The bulbs and plants all come with a 100 percent money back

guarantee. You will receive the freshest, highest quality flower bulbs and plants available. Flower Power guarantees they will all bloom if planted immediately upon receipt. If any of the bulbs or plants fail to meet your expec-tations, just let Flower Power know and you will be given a replacement, exchange, or refund, whichever is preferred.

Funds we raise through this project are slated to pay for this year’s Month of the Military Child celebration in April. During this month we recognize our local soldiers’ children with a pack-age and card that says “Thank You” along with an encourage-

A 1,500 hour Habitat for Humanity project is nearing completion that will put a roof over the heads of the Ramon Lopez family of Omak. A celebration of this project, as well as World Habitat Day, will be hosted by the Oroville Free Methodist Church on Sept. 28.

World Habitat Day eventSubmITTed by Arlene JoHnsonOkanOgan COunty hFh

Creating a world where every-one has a decent place to live is the vision of Habitat for Humanity. World Habitat Day, October 1, is set aside to share this vision with everyone. Former President Jimmy Carter has lived out this vision by personally working on a week long annual HFH blitz build for 30 years straight.

In Okanogan county 56 vol-unteers have been living out

HFH’s mission to put God’s love into action, by bringing people together to build homes, commu-nities and hope. These volunteers have worked 1,500 hours to bring hope to the Ramon Lopez family by working with them to con-struct their home which is nearly completed.

This will be the seventh HFH home built right here in our county. A Habitat for Humanity home is sold to the selected fam-ily for the cost of the house with

no profit added and no interest charged. Biblical principles and the teachings of Jesus Christ are the basic foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty and provid-ing affordable housing.

To celebrate this accomplish-ment and to raise funds for the project, a Celebration in Music worship concert is planned for Saturday, Sept. 28, 7:00 p.m., at the Oroville Free Methodist Church, 1516 Fir Street in Oroville.

The concert will feature Touch of Grace bell choir directed by Lynn Chapman and many other musicians. It will be an inspi-rational evening with audience participation in song. An offering will be taken and refreshments served.

We’re in the ‘learning’ businessby Jackie ValiquettenOrth Valley COMMunity SChOOlS

It’s easy to understand why we call this column The Learning Tree. NVCS is, after all, a teach-ing and learning organization. We offer many of the same class-es each year, because you want them, but there are always new offerings, too. Two new class-es in the catalog this quarter - GED Prep with 11 sessions, and Citizenship Prep with 13 session.

These are important offerings for specific groups of people. These start dates have passed so if you missed out this quarter but need one of these classes, watch winter and/or spring quarter catalogs for repeats.

Our advertisers are integral to our success. This quarter we have some new businesses that support Community Schools through

their business card advertising – World of Gaia, Pastime Bar & Grill and NAPA Auto & Truck Parts in Oroville; River View Mobile Home & RV Park, Community Cultural Center, Grant’s Market, Upper Valley Realty and the Red Apple Inn in Tonasket. We thank them and all our advertisers, for their support of the Community Schools program.

Remember, Ellen Barttels is the person to call for information or registration at 509-476-2011. She can also be reached at [email protected] or at our website www.northval-leycommunityschools.com.

TONASKET - Tonasket’s defense kept Kettle Falls at bay for nearly all of Friday’s contest, and an offense that sputter in the second half picked up a pair of key first downs in the final minutes as the Tigers held off the Bulldogs 13-7.

Kettle Falls had the ball at its own 28 with 4:15 to go, but the Tigers stopped the Bulldogs on four plays. Michael Orozco ran for a first down to keep the clock running, and quarterback Trevor Terris converted a 4th-and-3 with a 7-yard run inside the final minute to deny Kettle one final chance.

“I told Trevor just to keep it,” said Tonasket coach Jay Hawkins. “I felt they were bunched up, and he’s a smart player. I didn’t want to give it back to them with 27 seconds left.”

The Tigers got off to a quick start, taking its first possession 90 yards on 11 plays. Orozco scored on a 10-yard run to give Tonasket a 6-0 lead midway through the first quarter.

Tonasket wasn’t nearly as methodical on its second possession as Terris hit a wide-open Roberto Juarez for a 51-yard touchdown catch on the first play of its possession.

“We got off to a great start,” Hawkins said. “We opened up with that drive and scored, and we hit that pass and it looked like things would break our way.”

The Tigers held Kettle to just 90 yards and three first downs through the first three quarters but the offense stalled despite holding the ball in Bulldog terri-tory for most of the game.

“In the second half we controlled the field position,” Hawkins said. “We were inside the 50 numerous times and we just couldn’t hit the big play.”

That allowed Kettle Falls to stay in the game. The Bulldogs broke through with a 14-play, seven-minute drive that ate up half of the fourth quarter, with Austin Anderson taking it in from four yards out to make a game of it.

“You’ve got to hand it to them,” Hawkins said. “They had a nice drive there in the fourth quarter. They hunkered down in that power I set and bullied us around. Our defense in the last four minutes fig-ured it out; we hadn’t seen that all game (until late).”

Tonasket had its chances to put the game away early. Orozco had a 52-yard run for a touchdown off a fake punt erased by a penalty, and the Tigers came up empty on three other trips inside the Kettle Falls 25-yard line before the Bulldogs cut the deficit to 13-7.

“In the second quarter we played slop-py,” Hawkins said. “We had two or three penalties - we had the one on the touch-down, and one that was a field position situation.

“Then in the second half we couldn’t make the big play. Michael couldn’t get out and go and we couldn’t hit that big pass.”

Orozco led the Tigers with 121 yards rushing on 21 carries, while Terris fin-ished 4-of-11 passing for 79 yards.

Anderson ran for 77 yards on 18 carries for Kettle Falls (0-2).

The Tigers (2-0) open Caribou Trail League play at Brewster (1-1) on Friday, Sept. 20.

MOSES LAKE - Oroville’s Sierra Speiker showed no signs of slowing down Saturday Moses Lake as both the Hornets and Tonasket both ran at Moses Lake.

Neither team fielded a full girls team. The Tonasket boys finished ninth and the Oroville boys fin-ished 11th.

Speiker, without anyone to push her, finished the full 5k course in 18:26.3 to win by more than two minutes.

It was her fasted time on that course and the fastest 5k she’s run since 2010, when she posted a personal best 18:19 at Connell in a race that featured a battle between Speiker and two other sub-19 minute runners.

Kaylee Foster (49th, 39:43.1) also ran for the Oroville girls.

Freshman Johnna Terris (20th, 23:37.1) led Tonasket in her first high school race for the Tigers. She was followed by Amber Monroe (26th, 24:29.8), Lea Berger (32nd, 25:43.1) and Jenna Valentine (41st, 27:40.1).

“Johnna ran a great race,” said Tonasket coach Bob Thornton.

Both Tonasket and Oroville were able to field full boys teams.

The Tigers’ finishers included Adrian McCarthy (35th, 19:35.1); Hunter Swanson (48th, 20:19.9); Tim Jackson (52nd, 20:48.9); Smith Condon (67th, 23:20.9); and Bryden Hires (68th, 23:30.1).

“Adrian, Hunter and Tim all ran good early-season races and will continue to get better as they get more experience,” Thornton said. “It was hot and humid. It makes it hard to runn all out for 20 minutes with no time outs or water breaks.”

Hornet runners were Diego Santana (61st, 22:28.5); Javier Castillo (66th, 23:04.9); Nahum Garfias (70th, 24:22.3); Emmanuel Castrejon (71st, 25:15.1); Daniel Castrejon (73rd, 27:46.2); and Dakota Haney (74th, 29:18.6).

Both Tonasket and Oroville race at Spokane Valley’s Plantes Ferry Park in the Runner’s Soul/Erik Anderson Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 21.

OROVILLE - Oroville proved in its first game of the season it could win a defensive struggle.

The Hornets showed in Game 2 that they were also up for an offensive shootout.

Despite allowing Mary Walker of Springdale nearly 450 yards off offense, the Hornets broke away from an early 14-14 tie to defeat the Chargers 49-28 on Friday, Sept. 13, in their home opener.

After Mary Walker erased an early 14-0 Oroville lead, the Hornets outscored the Chargers 35-6 in the second, third and early fourth quarters.

Oroville had its ground game clicking as Sean DeWitte led the way with 106 yards rushing on 14 carries, Connelly Quick added 67 yards on 14 carries and Tanner Smith added 52 yards on four carries.

The Hornets opened the game with a 70-yard, five-play drive that ended quickly when Smith broke loose for a 44-yard touch-down run.

Quick added the first of his three touchdowns on the night with a 2-yard run to cap a 45-yard drive.

Mary Walker struck back quickly with a pair of touch-downs to knot it at 14-14. But

the Hornets struck back with a 20-yard DeWitte touchdown run to take a 21-14 halftime lead.

Oroville put the game out of reach in the third quarter with a 2-yard Kindred run, an 18-yard

pass from Kindred to Smith and a 20-yard fumble return by Quick.

Quick added a 1-yard score midway through the fourth quar-ter for a 49-20 lead.

The Hornets were able to sit on

their big lead late despite being outgained on the ground 313-270 and through the air 132-63. But Oroville played a much cleaner game in committing four pen-alties for 35 yards, while Mary Walker was flagged 16 times for 117 yards.

Oroville (2-0) travels to West Seattle next Saturday as they take on Seattle Lutheran in their final non-league tuneup.

Above, Tonasket’s Derek Sund (52) and Kettle Falls’ Chris Boring (33) wrestle for a fourth down Kettle Falls pass in the first half of Friday’s game. The ball fell incomplete, giving the Tigers a first down.Left, Michael Orozco (14) tries to escape the grasp of a Kettel Falls tackler as teammate Chad Edwards (77) moves in to assist.

CONCONULLY - Fishing is still great. We had 3 different groups of fishermen that catch their limit of rainbow’s this week-end. Some were fishing in shallow water and some in deep water by the dam. Bill and Helen Bradley from Marysville, Wash. caught their limit using green Power Eggs.

I wish I had pictures of all the fish that was caught this weekend. The water in both lakes is still high for this time of year, no algae yet and the water is clear.

Bass fishing still has not been good and we do not know why. So we need some good bass fish-ermen to come up and show everybody how to catch bass.

LIAR’S COVE REPORT

by brent [email protected]

TWISP - It’s no exaggeration to say that Tonasket survived its first game of the girls soccer season.

The Tigers prevailed at Liberty Bell 6-3 in a contest that fea-tured two injury stoppages that required an ambulance, as well as another injury that left an already thin Tonasket squad shuf-fling players into positions they’d never played in the second half.

“It was a tough game,” said Tonasket coach Darren Collins. “I thought the girls played real well, especially with some of the things that happened.”

The game stopped for more than half an hour after just a few

minutes has been played when Liberty Bell’s Lauren Fitzmaurice fell and broke her arm.

Early in the second half it was Tonasket’s Elizabeth Jackson that was off to the emergency room after taking a fall that injured her neck.

“They were both freak kinds of things,” Collins said. “It was kind of a physical game, but not unusually so.”

The Tigers took a 3-0 halftime lead. Kylie Dellinger scored the team’s first goal of the season off an assist by freshman Ashlynn Willis. Kathryn Cleman added two goals in the first half, the second after her crossing pass was knocked into the net by a Mountain Lion defender.

Jackson, the Tigers’ starting

center defender, was injured early in the second half. To complicate things, another Tonasket defend-er, Selina Cosino, had also been injured (though less severely) and sat out the second half. Liberty Bell’s Mia Kennedy scored twice to cut the Tiger lead to 3-2.

“(Kennedy) has footwork a lot like (recent Tonasket grad) Kelly Cruz,” Collins said. “She’s really quick.”

Tonasket pulled away as Cleman finished off a hat trick with her third goal, and Jaden Vugteveen added a pair of scores, including one off her own corner kick.

“With both our center defend-ers out we had to fill spots with players that hadn’t played there,”

Collins said. “Once they settled in they did pretty well.”

Baylie Tyus and Christa McCormick split goalkeeping duties, with Tyus making five saves and McCormick stopping

seven shots.Tonasket (1-0) played

Okanogan on Tuesday after the Gazette-Tribune’s press dead-line, and travels to Quincy on Saturday, Sept. 21.

tigers outlast Lions in ‘injury bowl’

Hornet volleyball off to fast startby brent [email protected]

OROVILLE - It may just be two matches, but the Oroville volleyball team is sending signals that it could be on the verge of a breakthrough season.

The long-suffering Hornets, who last year broke a 45-match losing streak and have won more than one match just twice since 2000, improved to 2-0 on Thursday with a 25-15, 25-23, 25-21 sweep of Republic in their home opener.

After defeating Tonasket two days earlier, the Hornets have already won more matches than finishing their 2009 season with a 6-10 record.

“I think the biggest thing is that it’s not just ‘bump, set, spike,” said first-year coach Carrie Rise when asked what her emphasis has been in practice. “It’s read-ing, reading, reading the other team. Constantly adjusting, even mid-game. We won’t just run the same formation through the whole game.”

The Hornets have good size along the front line, and Mikayla Scott, Bridget Clark and Rachelle Nutt each had their share of blocks and kills in the first set as the Hornets cruised to a 1-0 lead in the match.

Oroville trailed 14-10 in the second set, but strong serving from Clark and Andrea Perez turned the tide the Hornets’ way.

“Our varsity girls can serve bet-ter than they did tonight (over-all),” Rise said. “Andrea was nail-ing them all night long.”

Senior setter Brittany Jewett, also an emotional sparkplug, had several big blocks in the third game despite being one of the smaller players on the court.

Jewett missed out on last year’s lone victory due to an ankle inju-ry, but has been in the middle of nearly every point during the Hornets’ early-season success.

“(Rise) is really teaching us how to work as a team, and to stay positive through the whole game,” Jewett said. “The last few years, if

something went wrong we’d start bickering. This year we’ve been staying positive, and it just gets better and better every game.

“I try to keep the team pumped up because once someone gets down, it can have a domino effect. If you just keep positive, the whole team kind of catches onto it and stays energized. And winning games helps.”

Rise said she has been pleased that not only have her players not been wanting to come out of matches, but they’ve also to this point been accepting of her coaching decisions.

“I try to let the players help to coach themselves,” she said. “They’re out there, they know

what works to. So, it’s a shared responsibility and they recognize that.

“I almost took Andrea out because her shoulder hurt, and she begged me not to take her out. But they’ve also not been ter-ritorial. I put in a JV player and there was none of that, ‘Oh what are you doing here.’ They;re open to accepting my player decisions, and that’s big. “

The Hornets (2-0) traveled to Curlew on Tuesday and host Lake Roosevelt on Thursday, Sept. 26 in their Central Washington 2B League opener. On another scheduling note, the home vol-leyball match scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 21, against Entiat

was moved to Thursday, Oct. 3.

OrOville 3, TOnaskeT 1TONASKET - Rivals Oroville

and Tonasket opened their sea-sons Tuesday, Sept. 10, with the Hornets claiming a 25-19, 19-25, 25-19, 27-25 victory over the Tigers. It was the first victory by Oroville over their rivals since 2009.

“We had numerous hits by Mikayla Scott and Jessica Galvan that resulted in points,” Rise said. “Crazy scrambles for shanked balls that we were able to send back over the net, great sets by Brittany Jewett and plenty of digs by all.”

“Mistakes hurt us most,” said

Tonasket coach Jackie Gliddon. “My girls need to work out some bugs, but I’m confident they’ll figure it out soon and start work-ing together.”

“We had a positive attitude all around,” Rise said. “Great team-work won the match ... (The girls) were obviously enjoying the match.”
