Burglaries Plague Columbia Co.Recent

Starbuck Break-Ins Stun

Residents, Law

Enforcement Is Investigating

By Jillian BeaudryThe Times

STARBUCK – Recent burglaries in Starbuck and Dayton are creating a feeling

of insecurity in Columbia County.

According to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, it has taken 13 reports of residential burglary and 13 reports of commercial burglary in 2012 as of March 15. Two of these commercial burglaries oc-curred in Starbuck.

This number is high so early in the year compared to the annual numbers of burglar-ies reported in 2011 and 2010.

In 2011, the sheriff’s office received a total of 34 reports of residential burglary and 13 re-ports of commercial burglary. Four of these commercial bur-

glaries occurred on Highway 261 in or near Starbuck.

In 2010, the sheriff’s office received a total of 41 reports of residential burglary and 12 re-ports of commercial burglary.

Sheriff Walt Hessler gives two reasons for the spike in local burglaries.

“I believe the increased number of break-ins in our area has to do with the econo-my and the practice of giving criminals early release from the penitentiary,” said Co-lumbia County Sheriff Walt Hessler. “We plan to move forward in our investigations into these recent cases and

continue to be alert to what’s going on in our communities.”

Most recently, the Raw-hide Bar & Grill in Starbuck was broken into. Owner Dan Sanderlin said he and his wife Mary Jo closed up the restau-rant Monday night, March 12, about 8:30 p.m. The Rawhide is closed on Tuesdays, but the pair decided to go check on their restaurant about 12:30 p.m. the next day.

Sanderlin said he entered his restaurant to find the ATM machine had been broken. It was clear the burglar had bro-ken a window on the side of the building to get inside, he

said. The offender had never gotten into the ATM machine, which was a blessing because Sanderlin said they keep all of the money from the restaurant in it as well as the money that it dispenses.

“The cops said they spent quite a bit of time on that ATM machine,” Sanderlin said.

The burglar left without any cash, but did take an 18-pack of cans of beer and cigarettes.

It will cost the pair $1,500 for a new ATM machine.

“It could have been a lot worse,” Sanderlin said.

The break-in at the Raw-

hide happened less than a week after a break-in was re-ported at the Lyon’s Ferry Ma-rina. On March 7, entry made into the marina by breaking kitchen window. Cigarettes, beer and cash were reported stolen, no suspects have been identified and this crime is still under investigation

There are not yet any sus-pects in the break-in at the Rawhide, Sanderlin said. He helped the sheriff’s deputies dust for prints and since then, they’ve mostly been clean-ing up. Sanderlin and his

A High-Flying, Fun Performance At WHS Laposi, Baxter Share GoalsBoth Are

Running For Waitsburg

City Council With The Hope Of Improving

Local Business,

Activities For Youth


WAITSBURG – With the April 2 election right around the corner, Waits-burg residents Bart Bax-ter and Tiffany Laposi are throwing their hats in the ring for city council.

Baxter, who has lived in town for 7 years and owns Betty’s Diner, has already completed one year on city council and made an unsuc-cessful bid for mayor in 2011.

Laposi, who has lived in Waitsburg for 31 years and is a real property appraiser for Walla Walla County. She is a candidate in Waitsburg for the first time. Laposi has served on boards related to her profession and has some leadership experience.

Being engaged to one another is not the only thing Laposi and Baxter have in common. They share the same goals for the city of Waitsburg – they both want to boost small businesses and tourism to make the city thrive.Tiffany Laposi

Laposi, 41, said her fam-

ily moved around a lot when she was little. At the age of 10, they settled here in Waitsburg and never left.

“I love the town,” Laposi said as the reason why she remained here nearly her whole life so far.

She has been an appraiser for the county for 12 years and has three children, ages 8, 18 and 22. Her youngest attends school in the Waits-burg School District.

She said the reason she wants to be on the council is to spur some action.

“I thought it couldn’t hurt to throw my hat in and have a different voice,” Laposi said. “I think we can do more for the town.”

Laposi’s no. 1 goals are to grow our local businesses and provide more activities for kids.

She would like to make the former Waits Mill site a tourist destination with a museum and gift shop. Or, they could add a small campsite there to generate revenue for the city or put in an amphitheater for locals and visitors to enjoy enter-tainment.

“We’re one-of-a-kind,” Laposi said. “We need something that’s one-of-a-kind.”

The council needs to take a more active role in show-ing off what Waitsburg has to attract even more people, she added.

Laposi believes she can bring many assets to the council, including action,

Karaoke Queens Host At CoppeiBy Imbert Matthee

The Times

PRESCOTT -- Deb Tiedemann was so young at the time, she

doesn’t even remember ex-actly when she first started singing songs.

The household she grew up in Livingston, Mont., in the late 1960s was always filled with her parents’ favor-ite tunes. Her dad, who was a trucker, would play Jim Reeves, Tammy Wynette, Hank Snow, Hank Williams and Dolly Parton at the house.

Tiedemann herself was partial to Mel Tillis.

“There was just some-thing about his voice,” she said. “I just loved to hear him sing.”

More than four and a half decades later, Tiedemann is still all about listening to people sing, though none of them are famous like Reeves, Williams or Tillis.

They’re people like you and me, lending their voices to the lyrics and tunes we like best in a past time that you could call Touchet Val-ley’s American Idol, but without the heartbreaking

jabs from Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lo-pez and Steven Tyler.

“Invented” by Japanese drummer Daisuke Inoue in Kobe in the early 1970s, karaoke spread to Southeast Asia in the 1980s and soon made its way to the United States, its popularity bol-stered in recent years by mu-sical talent shows, including “The Voice,” which origi-nated in the Netherlands.

“Maybe it’s a song they’ve always wanted to sing in front of a crowd or maybe it’s on their bucket list, who knows,” Tiedemann said

about karaoke fans. “But first and foremost, it’s about having fun.”

Although no stranger to crooning, Tiedemann has only recently gotten into the

A Proud Tradition

With the imminent departure of Charlie Button, CEO of Columbia County Health System, the hospital district that serves Dayton and Waitsburg is at a crossroads.

For a number of reasons, staff, patients and the community that supports the small rural health care district through their taxes have had their share of challenges in recent years: plenty of turn-over, employee burnout, state inspection citations, emotional pub-lic meetings, billing trouble, state funding cuts and so on.

Calm, order and predictability have returned to some degree since the turmoil two years ago and improvements have been made. New technology and services have been introduced and the district is getting caught up on some of its billing and the work environment, particularly at the Booker Rest Home.

But the district is a long way from being out of the woods and current board Chairman Ted Paterson said his desire after Button goes on to greener pastures in May is to get a CEO who will help keep the district “alive.”

Our desire is to make sure everyone (or at least every group) who is affected by this milestone decision be heard and possibly be included on the selection of a new CEO.

We’re not proposing a public micromanagement of the fi ve trustees’ mandate to select the next fearless health care leader for our community. That would be counterproductive.

We’re advocating for an open, careful and, if necessary, lengthy recruitment and vetting process that drills down deep into the fi nalists’ backgrounds and gives all the local experts in their fi eld, particularly the medical staff, nursing personnel and patient rep-resentatives, a chance to make weight-bearing recommendations to the board.

In other words: the appointment of a broad-based hiring com-mittee.

This committee is critical for two reasons. First, none of the trustees, as credible and as upstanding as they are as professionals and members of the community, have all the expertise to evaluate the candidates. Even when they are all put together, perspectives on the right qualifi cations will be missing and we do not believe the expensive proposition of hiring a head hunter is in the best interest of tax payers. There is plenty of in-house expertise.

Second, the appointment of such a committee is what they call in political parlance good “stakeholder management.” If a majority of the groups who are on the receiving end of a CEO’s management style and decisions buys into the hiring decision, there will be that much more support for it and there will be far less second guessing.

After speaking with Paterson at some length on Monday, it’s clear the chairman wants the selection process to be transparent. He welcomes the public to the 1 to 5 p.m. board retreat Thursday (March 22) at the Delany Building where the recruitment of a new CEO will be high on the agenda, though he’s not sure if there will be an opportunity for a lot of public comment at that time. Those chances will come later. The board holds its regular meeting at the hospital at 6 p.m. that day.

At the retreat, the board intends to get its collective brain around the question what is the best approach to replacing Button, who leaves the district on May 9 – two months after offering his resignation.

If those 60 days aren’t enough to fi nd his successor, Paterson may recommend putting an acting CEO in his place to steer the ship until a new captain is found.

We believe that is a wise move. In fact, we recommend recruit-ing two CEOs: one who would be willing to act as interim head of the district come May 9, and one who will be Button’s permanent replacement. Several board members said there might be retired hospital CEOs interested to be at the helm temporarily to help the district out during its search.

As important and time-sensitive as the appointment of a new CEO is, it’s equally critical that there’s a high level of comfort this time with the individual who will help the community’s no. 1 health care resource and number one employer through a time of unsettling change in funding and technology.

He or she needs to be someone with vision, someone with inclusive and constructive management skills, someone who can track and anticipate changes in the industry, someone who models the kind of care for fellow staff members that radiates out to the patient care level, someone with sound fi scal skills and someone who can bring all the different stakeholders together for a common agenda.

As Paterson suggests, the new CEO needs to be someone who can commit to being here for some time to meet the objectives of a long-term agenda. We even recommend specifi cally looking for someone with personal ties to the area in addition to all the right qualifi cations.

Button’s replacement needs to be someone who can take Co-lumbia County Health System from an entity that merely survives to one that thrives.

The Search Is On

From The

Legislature

By Raechel DawsonWNPA Olympia News

Bureau

After a Friday night of happy hour and late-night drinking, many fail to consider the repercussions of driving while impaired, but legislators have.

Various changes to the driving-under-the-infl uence law have unani-mously passed the Legis-lature and become effec-tive upon the governor’s signature. The reform puts more stringent penalties on those convicted of drunk driving including increased fees and facial recognition systems on ignition-interlock devices.

Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, sponsored House Bill 2443, which, he said, will enforce one of the most “comprehen-sive ignition interlock programs in the country” by strengthening the state employee workforce to properly administer it.

The Department of Li-censing takes the reins of the program from city and county courts.

Capt. Jason Berry, leg-islative liaison for the Washington State Patrol, has been an advocate for the bill and agrees that the current program needs better enforcement.

“As we look to technol-ogy to assist us in chang-ing offender behavior, maintaining quality assur-ance and ensuring these drivers remain sober, we need appropriate over-sight in place,” said Berry in a press release last week. “This bill will pro-vide that, at no cost to the taxpayer.”

But it will cost con-victed drunk drivers.

The bill would impose fees to fund Ignition In-terlock Devices for DUI-convicted drivers who can’t afford the device. For those who are required to have the Breathalyzer – which activates the device upon exceeding the alco-hol limit – and can afford it, an extra $20 per month is tacked on to the original monthly interlock device fee. Fees are deposited into the Ignition Interlock

New DUI Law Stiffens Penalties, Opens Records

Device Revolving Ac-count, which then helps pay the cost for indigent drivers.

Stricter rules on who is required to have an igni-tion interlock device and who may apply for one opens up the number of devices to those who have had their original DUI charge reduced to reck-less driving. This, in turn, increases the number of devices needed and gener-ates more dollars.

“We’ve had about 25,000 [devices installed]

over the course of the last couple of years. This might double those num-bers,” said Goodman. “The research is really clear that if the device is in the car, you don’t drive drunk.”

In case having a device installed isn’t enough of an incentive to drive sober, the bill also urges ignition interlock devices come with a facial recognition system when possible. This is to prevent sober friends or family from taking the breath test in lieu of the intoxicated vehicle-owner, according to Goodman.

Ignition Interlock De-vice manufacturers, ven-dors, technicians and pro-viders have agreed to pay other fees that are esti-mated to rise up to $877, 750 in fiscal year 2013. The money would be de-posited into the Highway Safety Account controlled by the Washington State Patrol Impaired Driving Section Projects. Accord-ing to Goodman, a stron-ger statewide compliance program is expected to emerge under terms of the new rules.

“State patrol will hire new staff to go around and

make sure that the drivers who are supposed to have the devices in their cars, actually do,” said Good-man.

Fifteen states — Alas-ka, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Kan-sas, Louisiana, Nebraska, New York, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Virginia — now adding Washington, require sentenced drunk drivers to undergo an Igni-tion Breathalyzer.

In addition to these fees people convicted of driv-ing while drunk must now pay $2,500 (originally $1,000) toward emer-gency response costs if applicable.

Washington’s number of deaths from alcohol-related car accidents has decreased since 2009, according to the National Highway Traffi c and Safe-ty Administration, but that could be because the na-tional average of general traffi c related deaths has decreased as well. The lat-est data shows Washing-ton’s DUI deaths make up about 37 percent of traffi c fatalities.

There is an estimated 10,000 people killed and 350,000 injured in the United States each year, according to a Mothers Against Drunk Driving press release issued last week.

Among other techni-calities Goodman’s bill expands the defi nition for a DUI to include huff-ing chemical substances among the list of drugs one could take while driv-ing under the infl uence.

He said this defi nition was amended because the original law had a loophole, in that, prosecu-tors could not adequately charge for a DUI if the defendant had been driv-ing upon inhalation of chemical vapors.

Under terms of the new law felony DUI cases are kept as public records. Formerly, people who had completed the terms of their felony DUI con-viction could have their records sealed

The DUI reform takes effect Aug. 1, 2012.

In the Times edition on May 13, 2010, I wrote about my experience play-ing the piano for patients at Booker Annex, many of whom are dementia patients.

A March 9, 2012, edi-tion of the Union-Bulletin featured a story on its health and fi tness page that read:

“Dr. Brent Bauer, pro-fessor of medicine and director of the Comple-mentary and Integrative Medicine Program at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,

Benefi ts Of

Music

Minn., says research is beginning to catch up with the value of music in pro-moting healing.”

He credits the Natural Institute of Health with the changing of attitudes in the professional commu-nity when it launched its Complementary Alterna-tive Medicine program in 1998. The program evalu-ated massage, acupunc-ture, meditation, art and yoga in treating a variety of conditions.

“Dr. Olden Sacks, the neurologist and author, has offered a passionate case of the healing power of music in the book ‘Musi-copia: Tales of Music and the Brain.’”

I purchased this book recently and read about cases of success in relief of pain with use of music therapy.

He states, “the percep-tion of music and the emo-tions it can stir is not solely dependent on memory and music does not have to be familiar to exert it emo-tional power. One does not need to have any formal knowledge of music – nor indeed – to be particularly ‘musical’ to enjoy music and respond to it at the deepest levels. Music is part of being human and there is no human culture in which it is not highly developed and esteemed. It’s very ubiquity may cause it to be trivialized in daily life. We switch on a radio, switch it off, hum a tune, tap our feet, find the words of an old song going through our minds and think nothing of it. But those who are lost in dementia, their situ-ation is different. Music is no luxury to them, but a necessity, and can have a power beyond anything else to restore them to themselves, and to others at least for a while.”

I am always rewarded when I can give the pa-tients that music “at least for a while.” They seem so happy and I am too!

I went to Claudia Abel for massage treatment for back pain last week. I was amazed at the affects of massage in easing the pain with music. I learned she played a CD of “Na-tive Expressions” with the sounds of (mostly) Navajo instruments, fl utes and wa-ter drums. The fl utes were oval shaped Iroquois love fl utes made out of cedar. This music was very re-laxing in concert with the massage.

which she sees as lagging. “I’m not afraid to try new

things,” Laposi said. “You give me a project and I get it done.”Bart Baxter

Before running Betty’s Diner, Baxter, age 47, had been a general contractor. He already has council ex-perience and serves on the planning commission. He has also been a WP soccer coach and coaches a Blue Mountain Youth soccer team.

Baxter grew up in La Conner and has been a con-tractor and roofer most of his life. He is also a self-pro-claimed “history buff.” He has two grown sons, ages 26 and 18, and a 2-year-old grandson.

He loves Waitsburg be-cause the climate is good on his bones, he says he has broken many, and because his parents Bert and Bitzi Baxter live here.

“Everybody is really friendly,” Baxter said.

With an eye on a council seat, Baxter wants to sup-port local business owners.

“I think we need some representation,” he said. “We need to be heard.”

Baxter said the youth of the city are being “ignored” and he would like to make them a priority.

He said he built remote control car tracks at the fair-grounds, but those have not been maintained. The BMX track is in the same shape and he is disappointed a city skate park for kids never got off the ground.

Baxter said his one year as a councilman in Waits-burg was positive until a sidewalk ordinance created some drama and he didn’t enjoy.

“It kind of turned me off to politics,” he said.

Baxter in 2011 ran for mayor to create some com-petition in the race and lost to Walt Gobel. He said go-ing through all of this gave him very tough skin and he’s ready to dive into poli-tics again. One of his major goals is to turn Preston Park into a campground. He said the city can get grant money to do so and it could bring in a lot of revenue to the city. All of the camping is

in Columbia County, which discourages tourism, Baxter said. Mostly, Baxter said he is running because he is frustrated with how the council has performed over the past two years.

He said he is unhappy with utility rates, the fact that the pool is closed on weekends, and that property taxes were raised instead of sales tax.

He said he admires the work residents have done over the past couple of years

to make Waitsburg more beautiful. He would like to add to this momentum by bringing in different busi-nesses and experiences.

“I’m trying to turn this town into a food and drink destination,” he said.

He lives by the motto “why not?” and says that is the secret to getting great ideas turned into reality.

The 2012 Spring Release Weekend is planned for May 4 through May 6. Everyone in the wine business is currently maneuvering barrels, hiring musicians and ordering food to be offered to winery club members as well as the general public, invited to attend the yearly wine event.

Besides being an infectious personality, Walla Walla winemaker Tray Bush of Sleight of Hand Cellars, is a winemaker to watch during Release Weekend. His take on the magic of wine may be evident in the name of the winery, wine bottle labels and advertising copy, but this dedicated winemaker exhibits no tricks when it comes to creating his over the top wine portfolio.

Recently, I was privy to an early wine tasting of what I think will be one of THE wines of this year’s Spring Release weekend; Sleight of Hand Cellars 2011, 100 percent, The Magicians Assistant, a Cab Franc Rose.

What Tray Bush has been able to capture in his Cab Franc Rose is a coral pink dream the California Monk’s of Charles Krug Winery could only imagine. With nose buried deep in the glass, a romantic juicy melon tickles the nostrils, swooshing the cheeks in warm strawberry fi elds, a splatter of minerality draws across the tongue with a wet and wild ending in oodles of watermelon nuance. Now that’s a Rose to remember! For wine tasting events and hours call Sleight of Hand Cellars: 509-525-3661

show off her Mary Kay line this Saturday in Waitsburg’s Town Hall.

Local Mom Re-Launches Her Mary Kay Business


WAITSBURG – La-dies, get ready to be pampered!

Belinda Cook has planned an evening of pampering from 5 to 7 p.m. on March 24 at Town Hall.

Cook, who is re-launching her Mary Kay retail business, is joined by Melodie Fit-zhugh, in this endeavor.

The goals of the evening are to pamper women, give back to the community and show off a new line of bo-

tanical products. Cook said it will be an event that indulges the senses with candles, cof-fee and wine.

Both women live in Waits-burg. Cook left her corporate job as a photographer to become a Mary Kay beauty consultant full time. She is also continuing as a freelance photographer and is hoping to open a storefront in the near future.

Fitzhugh just became a Mary Kay consultant and works at Betty’s Diner. She also attends Walla Walla Community College full time.

“We’re both very, very busy,” Cook said with a laugh.

In 2006, Cook paid her $100 and signed up to be a Mary Kay beauty representa-tive. Because of the demands of her corporate position and a lack of a solid Mary Kay mentor, Cook set aside the Mary Kay business. That is, until she decided to put her family fi rst.

“I never did too much with my business and now I’m going full (out),” Cook said. “It has done some amazing things for me.”

Cook is the oldest child of

seven and has fi ve children of her own.

She said most of all, Mary Kay has given her the “right to dream and raise a family.”

She used to work 67 hours a week. Now, she’s working 30 to 40 hours. This gives her more time to be a mom and take care of herself, Cook said.

“I took a leap of faith,” she said. “I had no idea what was going to be in front of me.”

And she’s got big goals. Cook wants to make $2,200 a month through selling Mary Kay products so she can continue to spend more time with her children.

“There’s no reason why you can’t be a mom and a business woman at the same time,” Cook said.

And Cook is making strides in the six weeks she has been pounding the pave-ment as a consultant.

She has recruited three other women to become beauty consultants for the company and has sold more than $4,000 worth of prod-ucts. She has organized and held about fi ve to 10 Mary Kay parties a week.

The company pays its consultants through retail

sales, commissions and even provides a Mary Kay vehicle they can earn.

As long as you put gas in the vehicle, they take care of it, she said. Cook is well on her way to $2,200 a month. She’s already making about $1,000 a month.

She doesn’t really worry about running out of busi-ness.

Cook said the Mary Kay business model is even taught out of Harvard University. With their new website and follow-up program, she is confi dent she’ll have plenty of customers.

Best of all, she has a men-tor who is really behind her, providing the right tools to help her succeed.

“They give you momen-tum and tools to go the path,” Cook said.

And Cook isn’t alone in trying to make this her solid career. She said, in her opin-ion, about 85 percent of con-sultants make it their career. Those who don’t have dif-ferent reasons, ranging from their personal circumstances and whether they have a good mentor. Some simply sign up to get their Mary Kay prod-ucts half off, she said with a

laugh.The company also encour-

ages giving back and benefi ts domestic violence and cancer non-profit organizations. Cook herself matches do-nations and helps support troops overseas by using the money to buy them personal items.

The most important thing

Cook has learned over the past couple of weeks is that she now makes herself a priority.

She is now enjoying set-ting goals and achieving them and evaluating her priorities and putting them in order.

“It’ll teach you a lot about yourself,” she said.

Dayton Has Booming Training Business

Andrews Family photoJill Andrews and her husband Dan Andrews have a sucessful training barn in Dayton

called Graycyn Farms.


DAYTON – For Jill Andrews, it has always been her calling to train

horses and riders.“I used to sit in class as a kid

and all I would think about was training techniques,” she said with a laugh. “I never wanted anything else.”

Andrews, of Dayton, has been riding horses since she was 10 and training since she was 14.

Now, she is the owner and trainer of Graycyn Farms in Dayton and has earned the Union-Bulletin’s Best of The Best Award for her business two years in a row.

But until seven years ago, her business didn’t have a name. She said she was timid about her business. She had always trained and shown horses, she just didn’t know if she wanted to commit. But, her passion pushed her forward.

“I wanted to do more and more and more,” Andrews said. “Now we’re outgrowing everything.”

Andrews thought doing business in a small town like Dayton would make it harder for her to be successful. How-ever, she said most of the Arabian show horse barns in Washington are in Puyallup and Monroe, so there’s actu-ally a good market here for her business.

She is now adding breed-

ing to her list of services and she competes with a stallion in horse shows. Andrews recently returned from the biggest horse show in North America, the 2012 Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show Halter Championship and she and her horse won sec-ond place.

“She beat all of the people we looked up to for years,” said her client and good friend Cheryl Strang.

Strang’s daughter started training with Andrews and has competed at Youth Nationals.

“To have clients and horses be successful – it’s an op-portunity that’s outstanding,” Andrews said. “Showing horses opens your eyes to a new world of opportunities.”

Andrews has four children of her own and she said teach-ing them how to ride and care for horses builds responsibility and skills for kids. They also learn the benefi ts of hard work.

“There is not one iota of this that’s easy,” she added.

Andrews’ love of horses started when she was growing up in Tri Cities.

At age 12, she began train-ing at an Arabian show barn and rode with a family who won at the national level. She remem-bers simply being in awe by the equipment they had.

She moved to Dayton 15 years ago when her husband got a job at Columbia REA. She said the family had intended on staying a couple of years in Dayton and moving on, but the

company and town were too good to leave.

“It was a meant to be kind of thing,” she said.

And now she’s up to her ears in horses and riders.

On a typical Saturday, about four part-time employees ride 15 to 18 horses, while she teaches fi ve lessons, one hour with each rider, and the helpers lunge and saddle horses. The baby horses are also ridden to prepare for their futurity com-petitions. And then if there’s time, they spend time clipping and bathing the horses.

“We’re always making sure they have whatever they need,” Andrews said of her horses.

One month of horse train-ing, which includes board and a weekly riding lesson, costs $700 per horse. Riding lessons are $35 and horse show fees are additional.

Andrews stables her horses at her home and an offsite facil-ity and can keep and ride 29 horses a week.

But, those interested in boarding and training horses with Andrews will have to wait.

“I’m totally full,” she said with a smile.

But Andrews can certainly accommodate more outside riding lessons, which is a huge benefit alone, she said. The business is growing much more rapidly than she ever antici-pated and it’s harder than she thought, too, trying to teach many different personalities how to ride and show horses.

Strang said Andrews is such a great trainer because riders often get caught up on competi-tion losses or small obstacles in training. But, Andrews focuses on the potential of the horse and rider over the long run.

“She has the desire, passion and hard work ethic to get it

done,” Strang said. Andrews has faced many

critics on the horse show circuit because she is a small barn compared to those that have turned out winners for decades. But, Andrews said she doesn’t think politics play into show results as much as some may

think. Even she, a small barn from a small barn in Eastern Washington, can turn out a second-place show horse in the biggest competition on the continent.

“You have to believe in yourself,” she said. “There’s nothing you cannot do.”

business of hosting karaoke evenings. She and her busi-ness partner, Amy Spears, a school bus driver from Dayton, bought the sound system from Spears’ former husband Travis Eaton late last summer - a karaoke box, monitor, microphones, equalizer, speakers and a library of some 5,500 songs whose lyrics singers can fol-low like a news anchor using a teleprompter.

Now, the duo sets up their karaoke regularly at the Tuxedo in Prescott, the Raw-hide in Starbuck, and the Eagle’s Hall and Thresher’s (Woody’s) in Dayton. This Saturday, Tiedemann and Spears will be hosting an evening of karaoke for the fi rst time at the Coppei Cafe, 137 Main St., in Waitsburg.

“We were finding that both of us would always stay until the end (of a karaoke night),” Tiedemann said about herself and Spears, whose voice she describes as angelic. “We were looking for an opportunity to con-tinue a tradition (started here by Eaton). The response has been excellent.”

The vocal response to the karaoke hosts, who will of-ten take requests for songs to sing themselves, but do ev-erything to encourage sing-ers in the crowd, has been as varied as musical tastes in the valley. Participants fl ip through the hosts’ book of songs, whose number has since grown to 6,100, with some choosing old-time rock-n-roll, some country, some Beatles, some new wave and some hip-hop.

“Someone requested Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back” at the Tux the other night and everybody ended up dancing to it,” Tiedemann said. Never leaving her mu-sical roots far behind, Tiede-mann likes to sing country classics. “Tennessee Flat Top Box” (Johnny Cash) is one of her personal favorites. Spears sings more rock-n-roll. Tiedemann’s partner was born in Spokane in 1969 and raised in the Tri Cities, where her dad worked as an advertising salesman for the Tri Cities Herald and played a variety of instruments in a light rock band.

Spears, who jokes she

shouldn’t be mistaken for a better-known artist with the same last name, was a clas-sic closet singer who would goof around singing to re-cords with friends in high school but never displayed her talent any more publicly.

Then her first husband started a karaoke business and, inevitably, she found herself practicing with him and his friends in the base-ment where the equipment was stored. She still recalls the first time she sang the lyrics to Shelly Fabares’ “Johnnie Angel” in front of a crowd.

“My knees were shaking and my cheeks were hot,” she said. “But it wasn’t half bad and the crowd liked it.”

Soon, she started adding more songs and now she can easily sing more than three dozen, having conquered her shyness.

“Johnny Angel was one of my dad’s favorite songs,” said Spears, whose father, now 67 and still a crooner, recently joined her at a kara-oke night to do Elvis songs. “It reminds me of him. It’s kind of a comfort thing.”

But while Spears and Tie-demann need no enticement to sing, would-be karaoke singers in the audience often do

“You can always tell who needs just a little bit more encouragement,” Tiedemann

said. “They look through the book. They watch the other singers. We tell them ‘You Should Sing.’ “

And if they decline, the women simply wait until potential performers have had a couple of drinks to take the edge off their stage jit-ters and pretty soon, the duo has to stop taking requests well before the end of the evening to cover a lengthy impromptu repertoire. They like the songs and lyrics to remain family-friendly. That

means no four-letter words. Sometimes they have to

put up with requests for the likes of “Red Solo Cup” (Toby Keith), a song Tiede-mann personally feels is a “waste of oxygen.”

Oh well. As long as peo-ple have a good time with it, the partners are all for it. For those who’ve never tried it or believe they can’t carry a tune, it’s worth a shot, Spears said. “How will you ever know?” she asked rhetori-cally.

Cardinals Shine At First Track Meet Of Year

Joanna Lanning photoCatherine Martinez gets ready to hand the baton off to

Maranda Callahan in the 4x1 relay last week at WP’s first track meet in Walla Walla.


WALLA WALLA – The Waitsburg Track and Field Team competed in its first meet of the season last Thursday against some big, competitive teams, but the Cardinals came out to shine even if the sun did not.

It was a big day for the Cardinals in Walla Walla. They were up against Hermiston, Pendleton, Walla Walla Valley Academy, Columbia-Burbank and Walla Walla high schools.

“We had some pretty stiff competition,” said distance coach Joanna Lanning. “We had a fantastic meet. The kids really came together.”

All of the kids did much bet-ter than she had ever expected.

Thursday was a big day for Cardinal James Thompkins. He placed first in the 100-meter

race with a time of 12.61 sec-onds and second place in the 200 meters with 23.97 seconds. He also shined in the relays, helping his team achieve first and second places.

In the 4 by 100 relay, the Cardinal team comprised of Thompkins, DJ Leroue, Logan Dozier and Billy Brown earned first place with a time of 46.26 seconds.

“Thompkins won that for them,” Lanning said. “He got the (other runner) right at the wire. He really had a super meet.”

In the 4 by 400 relay, Thomp-kins, Dozier, Brown and Owen Lanning took second place with 3 minutes, 47 seconds.

“These athletes worked hard in their preparation for their first meet, and the results demonstrated that,” said sprint coach Darleen Dozier.

It was also a big day for Cardinal thrower Eshom Estes. He placed first in the shot put with a throw of 48 and 10.5 meters. That shot put throw was a 2-foot personal record for Es-tes. He also placed third in the discus with 130 and 4 meters and fourth in the javelin with 134 and 4 meters.

“I was really proud of our opener overall,” said head coach Jeff Bartlow. “(We) com-peted against some big time schools and came out well.”

The Cardinals managed to run, jump and throw in ways that proved they are a very well-rounded team this year.

In the 100-meter race, Thompkins was first, followed by Leroue in 12th and Kevin Glover in 26th.

In the 200-meter race, Thompkins came in second, followed by Leroue in 11th and

Alex Dill in 16th place.In the 400-meter race, Lo-

gan Wanous placed seventh, followed by Emmanuel Prado in 13th and Glover in 14th.

In the 800-meter race, Roy

Ebong took fifth place, fol-lowed by Zac Brown in tenth place.

In the 1600-meter race, Seth Deal came in sixth, followed by Austin Conklin in ninth and

Aldair Escalante in 18th.In the 3200-meter race, Deal

came in second, followed by EJ Meserve in fourth.

In the 110-meter hurdles, Brown took second place, fol-lowed by Dozier in eighth and Julian Torez in ninth.

In the 4 by 100 relay, WP’s team of Thompkins, Leroue, Dozier and Billy Brown came in first. The second Cardinal team comprised of Dill, Ebong, Lanning and Fernando Torres came in fourth.

In the 4 by 400 relay, Thomp-kins, Dozier, Billy Brown and Lanning came in second. The Cardinal team of Ebong, Zac Brown, Wanous and Jose Es-parza came in seventh place.

In the shot put, Estes came in first, followed by Ben Shafer in fifth and Brendan Donovan

WP Kicks Off Season With Win

Tracy Daniel photo(Above) WP’s Kyle Dozier loses the battle for first base

Saturday afternoon against the Rockets. (Right) WP’s Zach Bartlow throws down a bullet from the mound Saturday afternoon. He pitched all seven innings for the Tigers.

By Tracy DanielThe Times

PRESCOTT—The WP Tigers kicked off their 2012 season with a 5-4 victory over the Pilot Rock Rockets last Saturday afternoon.

The Rockets wasted no time putting runs on the board capitalizing on a Tiger error to score their first run in the top of the first with one out.

A sacrifice bunt from the Rockets left them with two outs and one runner on, but the Rockets followed that up with a line drive down the first base line to score once more to put the Tigers down, 0-2.

With two outs and one runner on, the Tigers’ starting pitcher Zach Bartlow threw down his first strike out of the day to get the Tigers out of the inning before more dam-age could be done.

The Tigers went a quick three-up, three-down, and it was back to the field they went. The Tigers answered with their own three-up, three-down, on defense with Kyle Dozier making a diving save at second to throw out the first Rocket batter.

David Herzog followed that up with a catch in right, and it was Bartlow with his second “K” of the day to put the inning away and send the Tigers back to the plate to rattle the bats.

Herzog sent a fly ball to center for a single and he advanced to third off a line drive single to right field from Brice Paxson.

With runners on first and third and two outs, Devin Acevedo knocked a double to left to tie the game and began the first two-out rally of the day. But it was short lived

as the Rocket mound got the best of Dozier and the Tigers were back on the field.

The Tigers kicked off the top of the third inning with a dribbler to the mound that Bartlow easily got to first for one down. Bartlow then kept the heat coming from the mound and chalked up his third strike out. He followed that up with another “K” that was dropped at the plate, but Tucker Alleman quickly re-covered and threw the runner out at first.

The Tigers were at the top of the lineup, but suffered two quick outs before Dalton Estes was hit by a pitch and sent to first.

Estes used his stealthy base running to round the diamond and scored on a wild throw to first off a Her-zog base hit on error, giving the Tigers their first lead of the day.

Herzog worked his way around the bases before he stole home on a wild pitch, but Paxson popped up to left for the Tigers third out.

The Rockets scored a quick run on a double play gone wrong, but the Tigers quickly recovered with two ground outs and another Bartlow “K”.

The Tigers maintained their lead with the help of

a triple from Bartlow in the bottom of the fifth and a sac-rifice RBI from Estes to put the Tigers up, 5-3.

The Rockets fired back with a line drive to right fol-lowed by a sacrifice bunt that gave the Tigers one out. An-other line drive down the first base line scored one for the Rockets, but Herzog scooped that up and nailed the runner at second for two down.

Some more Bartlow pow-er from the mound produced a dribbler of a hit from the next Rocket batter who was easily thrown out at first to

get the Tigers out of the in-ning up, 5-4, in the bottom of the sixth.

The Tigers could’ve used some cushion going into the seventh inning, but they were denied with another three-up, three-down, scenario.

The Tiger defense an-swered by nailing the first Rocket batter out at first and followed that up with yet another strike out from Bart-low. Estes grabbed a heater that the Rockets sent up the middle and beat the runner at first for the third out and a 5-4 Tiger victory.

Middle School Team Tops Tri-State Tourney

Becky Dunn photoA Waitsburg-Prescott team of eight boys from the Walla Walla Valley played in Halfway,

Ore., last weekend. The team placed first, going 6-1.


WAITSBURG – A Waits-burg-Prescottt middle school level basketball team com-peted against some of the best from Oregon, Idaho and Washington last weekend and came out on top.

Head Coach Travis Trenndon put together this successful team of eight boys from Waitsburg, Prescott, Touchet, Walla Walla and College Place and practiced six or seven times before the Pine Eagle Junior High Tournament in Halfway, Ore., last weekend.

This was the first year the tournament has been held and Trenndon said as soon as he stepped into the venue and sized up the competition, he knew his hand-picked play-ers of kids he had coached at the YMCA would have a great shot.The team went 6-1, losing that one game by just one point and coming out overall winners.

The local kids from Waits-burg were Jacob Dunn, Jason

Carter and Kyle Gradwohl. Tre Parker from Prescott was also on the team.

Assistant coaches were JT Elsey and Matt Kates.

“We had a really tal-ented team,” Trenndon said. “I thought we were much taller and athletic looking. I thought we would win.”

The coach also believes his team members are really good at communicating with each other and sharing the ball, and this also helped them in the tournament.

“The kids really worked hard together and they’re re-ally unselfish,” he added.

Because of the team’s success, the group has been inspired to form an amateur athletic traveling team next year.

Athletes Honored At Banquet

By Jillian Beaudry

The Times

DAYTON – Successful basketball and cheerleading winter sports seasons were highlighted last Monday at Dayton High School’s awards banquet.

Head boys basketball coach Roy Ramirez was choked up

with emotion Monday night as he said goodbye and thank you to fi ve of his senior play-ers who have been with them since they were in fi fth grade.

“It was a heck of a year guys,” Ramirez said.

The Bulldog boys went 23-1 in the regular season and made it to the state tourna-ment in Spokane for the fi rst time in nearly two decades. At state, they placed sixth.

Ramirez said last sum-mer he had told everyone he thought his team would do OK this year. But, in the back of his mind, he was thinking they would do better than OK.

“In the back of my mind I was thinking ‘we’d better go undefeated and go to the state tournament,’” Ramirez

said with a laugh. “These guys played their tails off. Although we fell short to win-ning that golden ball, I still feel in my heart that you guys are the best basketball team in the state.”

The team achieved not only a great season, but three players made fi rst team All-League. Those players were Kroft Sunderland, Hayden Fullerton and Garett Turner. Colton Bickelhaupt was given an honorable mention. Turner was also named MVP of the league, named to the All-Tournament team for the state tournament and second team too.

The team collectively won a WIAA award for a team average GPA of 3.22.

For team awards, captains awards went to Turner and Sunderland. Most Valuable Teammate was Bickelhaupt, Most Inspirational was Sun-

derland, Most Improved was Wyatt Frame, Most Valu-able Player was Turner and Ramirez presented coaches’ awards to all six seniors.

The girls basketball team was also honored for the unexpected growth it made through the winter season.

“Not many people other than the coach, out players and our fans, had much faith in them,” Athletic Director Jack Smiley said of the Lady Dogs. “And they did them-selves proud.”

The Dogs made it into districts and regionals and ended with a 9-12 record. Head Coach Clayton Strong joked about the “speech” he gave to his players during a mid-season game when the Dogs were at 0-8. That speech helped turn the season around.

Strong congratulated his players for stepping it up and reaching goals.

“Thank you for not giv-ing into that desire to give up,” Strong said. “It took a lot for you to stick with it. You should be proud of your-selves.”

The Lady Dogs earned the highest average GPA of the night of 3.66 collectively.

Shelby Smith and McK-ayla Bickelhaupt made the All-League Team

Strong presented an award for Most Supportive to Court-ney Mings, who had not seen much playing time this season because of an injury.

Most Inspirational was Jessica Tate and Most Im-proved was Malia Frame. The Best Defensive Players were Nicole Lambert and Sarah Phillips. The Coaches’ Award went to Jessica Tate and Sarah Phillips.

The 10 Bulldog cheerlead-ers were also honored Mon-day night for their hard work and dedication.

Head coach AJ Walker said his cheer squad members

worked hard to learn cheers, chants and dance routines. They made it to new heights with their stunting and made sure all of the seniors were able to be on the top of stunts in front of the crowd.

“The girls bonded as a team and grew a lot over the season,” Walker said.

Walker thanked Manager Gabe Garcia for helping out throughout the season and highlighted the trip to state as a great memory.

While in Spokane for the state tournament, the team visited the local children’s hospital and did cheers for the kids.

“It was a lot of fun and a re-warding experience,” Walker said.

The Captain’s Award went to Colleen Delp, Chelsey Martin and April Davis. The Coaches’ Award went to Cait-lyn Robins.

The team was given a WIAA Scholastic Award for its 3.34 GPA.

WP Boys Recognized By Jillian Beaudry

The Times

WAITSBURG – Last week, the families and players on the 2011-12 WP boys basketball team gathered to share awards and honor the Cardinals’ hard work.

The boys basketball team had a great season, handing Dayton its only loss in regular season and playing hard in the district tournament.

“It was successful,” said head coach TJ Scott.

This was the third year in a row that the Cardinals made it to the Final 16, he added.

The team competed well, taking into account the tough teams in the league this year, Scott said. The Cardinals were matched up with a couple of teams who boasted some very tall players, which gave them some trouble.

And with just three var-sity returners, Scott said his players competed better and surpassed his expecta-tions.

“We had a lot of pieces to put together,” Scott said. “The kids overperformed.”

Last Wednesday night, awards were handed out to some outstanding players.

Zach Bar t low was named most valuable play-er. Eshom Estes was award-ed as the most inspirational. Most Improved went to Chance Leroue.

Bartlow and Dustin Wooderchak were named to the First Team All-League.

For next year’s roster, Scott said he is losing four

seniors who played many minutes on the court and re-ally boosted the team. But, he will have four juniors and three freshmen coming back with lots of experi-ence. Also, he knows some other players will step up to the plate.

He placed the future success of the team in their hands.

“It depends on how hard they want to work this sum-mer,” Scott said.

The Times

MEAD, WA – Mt. Spo-kane h osted two EEYSL events this season.

The second, March 10 and 11, was the fi nal event of the EEYSL points season. The standard format event included a Giant Slalom race on Saturday and a Slalom race on March 11.

BART finishes were led by one of their youngest competitors.

Mackenzie Davis of Mil-ton Freewater entered the weekend 20 points out of the lead for the J6 class.

By the end of the GS event, she was 20 points in the lead and she never looked back, fi nishing the season as the leading Girl’s J6 competi-tor.

Trevor Trimble, of Rich-land, went into the weekend in fi fth place and needed to win all four runs and get a little help to reach the sea-son podium. Warm weather meant huge ruts for older

Racers Finish Season Strongracers and Trimble’s fi rst run of GS was a little too conser-vative. He was able to adjust and had a strong second run, finishing 3rd overall in the event. A hooked tip in the fi rst run of Slalom caused a long hike and ended his podi-um hopes, but his second run performances in both events were enough to hold on to fi fth overall in the league.

Jonathan Rasch and Max Vandersloot, both of Walla Walla, made personal mile-stones by gaining their fi rst league top 10 and top five fi nishes, respectively.

The Bluewood team fi n-ished in fourth place in the team standings.

The Schweitzer Alpine Racing School won top hon-ors, followed by the Spokane Ski Racing Association and the 49 Degrees Alpine Race Team.

BART coaches were hap-py with the fi nish and pointed out that team size has a lot to do with results due to the scoring system.

Points per athlete, which the coaches use to measure the quality of their program compared to the other teams, puts the Bluewood team strongly in second.

Head coach Hal White is happy with the team’s per-formance.

“To have the second best group of athletes top to bot-tom is great,” White said. “The teams in front of us in overall points have lots of skiers and way more re-sources both on and off the mountain. For a small team, BART has really shown that it can develop good skiers.”

The weekend of March 24-25 will be the fi nal race weekend for the other two teams.

Qualifying members of the youth team will be com-peting at the Buddy Werner Championships and the Ju-nior racers will be competing at the Northwest J3 Champi-onships.

“Mostly (the items) will be paper, but other small items will be included as well,” Dayton Historical Depot Society volunteer Sue Rittenhouse said. “(We are collecting) menus, hobbies, digital technology, anything that’s interesting to people now that will be interesting in 50 years as well.”

Rittenhouse added that the historical society is inter-ested in information about cattle and crops because agriculture details are chang-ing fast.

The Boldman House cur-rently has a pair of contact lenses one of the Boldman girls wore that date back to the 1930’s, long-time volun-teer Faye Rainwater said.

When the lenses were found, recent volunteers were shocked by the size of the lenses.

Rittenhouse said the lens-es were about the size of 50 cent pieces and appeared extremely uncomfortable.

“We would like to put

some [contact lenses] in from today so that 50 years from now ... we can look back and see how much they have changed,” Rainwater said.

The time capsule, a stain-less steel cylinder measuring 30-inches long and 8-inches in diameter, will be sealed and stored in the Boldman House for the museum com-mittee to open and present to the community in 2062, Rittenhouse said.

The capsule’s assembly commemorates the 100-year anniversary of the Boldman family’s purchase of the home, now the Boldman House Museum, in 1912, Rittenhouse said.

“In 50 years when they open it up we hope that they have a well-kept Boldman House to show off,” Rain-water said. “We hope that the building is still standing and well taken care of and that people are still enjoying the building. This will give them another layer of history about the building.”

This time capsule is the

fi rst of its kind for the Bold-man House, Rittenhouse said.

“The house in itself is a time capsule because it takes you back over 90 years,” Rit-tenhouse said.

The house, which has been in restoration since Gladys Boldman willed it to the Dayton Historical Society in 1999, only con-tains original items from the Boldman family.

And only the items too damaged or decayed for display have been removed, Rittenhouse said.

The items submitted for the capsule will be sealed away in a dry nitrogen envi-ronment so no oxygen can enter the capsule and dam-age the items.

Submissions for the time capsule must fi t into the cyl-inder and be dropped off at the Dayton Historical Depot located at 222 E. Commer-cial Street by Friday, March 23.

“I was shocked,” Sanderlin said. “Ninety percent of the people in town are shocked somebody would do that. It really threw us through a loop. This is our home.”

But there’s no way that he and his wife are going to shut their doors.

“We’ll make it,” he said. “We’ll keep going.”

Health District Search Begins For New CEO

By Imbert Matthee The Times

DAYTON – Columbia County Health Systems Chair Ted Paterson fully expected the hospital board’s retreat this Thursday to be about budgets, the recent rural hospital con-ference in Spokane and .CEO Charlie Button’s contract re-newal.

But Paterson and other board members set the retreat agenda before Button resigned from his post on March 10, so now the fi ve-member body that governs the public health district for Dayton and Waits-burg will have a new priority to discuss: fi nding Button’s re-placement.

“It’s not going to happen overnight,” said Patterson, who joined the board after Button was hired. “It’s a process.”

Hiring a new leader for the district, a small publicly fund-ed rural health system whose own health has been buffeted by state budget cuts, patient payment backlogs and internal management challenges dur-ing the past few years, is no small task. It may be even more daunting this time since not everyone was happy about the recruitment process when But-ton was hired four years ago.

“We were a stepping stone,” newly elected board member Colleen Sproul said about Button’s recruitment as a low-er-level financial executive whom she said grew into his position as a top administrator mostly on the job and lacks the medical background to be as effective as someone who has that experience. “We have to have someone who knows what they’re doing (from the get go).”

Button’s departure isn’t necessarily atypical. On av-erage, 16 percent of health service organization execu-tives leave their position each year, having served fewer than six years, according to the Washington State Hospital As-sociation.

The position is one of the most important executive ap-pointments in the Touchet Val-ley because the health district is the largest permanent em-ployer here (Ski Bluewood is bigger on a seasonal basis) and many local residents use its services at one time or another.

Paterson said board mem-bers will devote at least an hour at the retreat to try and

decide on the best process to attract and screen candidates. Any action concerning the recruitment process may fol-low later in the day when the board holds its public meeting at 6 p.m. at the administration building’s meeting room.

The district’s bylaws give sparse guidance on the steps board members should follow in their recruitment of a CEO, simply assigning the trustees the responsibility of selecting one.

Board member Jim Kime, also elected since Button was hired, said there are several options. The board can appoint an interim CEO while conduct-ing a wide search for Button’s replacement, it can retain a head hunter to aid in the search or it can reach out through the web and in personal ways to identify potential candidates.

Barely a week into the search, the board members who attended the Spokane con-ference already got the word out in the industry that Colum-bia County Health Systems is looking.

Last time, the district used a recruitment fi rm, but Sproul said that’s expensive and with some time commitment the board can easily lead the re-cruitment effort itself. That would give members a chance to be more deeply involved in the vetting process.

Last time, the head hunter presented the board with three fi nalists who were interviewed and paraded in front of staff and the public, but some ob-

servers said not all references were checked properly as part of the screening process or it may have highlighted some of Button’s weaknesses alongside his strengths. Two of the board members in offi ce at the time and still on the board now, Jack Otterson and Lisa Naylor, were contacted for this story but could not be reached. The other board members at the time of Button’s hiring were Norm Passmore, Blaine Bickelhaupt and Roland Sherman.

Button was a chief fi nancial offi cer at a larger hospital in Wisconsin when he became a fi nalist for the CEO position here.

He was recently offered a job as administrator at a larger hospital out of state. Last week, Button said the identity of his new employer has not been disclosed because that in-stitution had not yet announced its hiring decision.

The departing CEO said his decision to leave the district had nothing to do with the con-troversy his management style allegedly ignited two years ago, saying he wasn’t looking for a new position but couldn’t pass up the offer he received.

Paterson said Thursday’s meeting will include a review of the last recruitment effort “good and bad.”

He said he’s not sure if the board will make a decision on the best recruitment approach, but said he sees no need to change the bylaws in a way that offers current and future board members more guidance

in their search.The district has neither a

current job description nor a CEO succession plan.

Last time, medical staff was asked for input and the fi nalists were introduced to the public. Some observers have suggested the board go a step further and create a special broad-based hiring committee whose members would include more than just trustees. Setting up a search committee is a step generally recommended by the

Washington State Hospital As-sociation, which also advises districts to create a CEO suc-cession plan.

Julia Mead, former head of clinical nursing at the district who was fi red by Button two years ago and escorted off the premises, said she hopes the board will open up the recruitment process so staff, patients and the community can be more involved with the selection.

“Maybe the board will have

more of an ear now,” she said. “Perhaps they can relax and listen to the voters.”

New to the hospital recruit-ment process but not to recruit-ment in general, Patterson said reference calls, background checks and local public review are typically part of a selection process.

He said his goal as chair is to fi nd “a well-qualifi ed CEO to run the hospital system to serve the community and keep it alive. It’s wide open.”
