Residents
sound off on
mosquitoes
Economy, health
concerns raised
By Garrett Rudolph
The Chronicle
OMAK — Local residents
took the opportunity to express
their concern — and in some
cases outrage — about the city’s
decision not to budget for
mosquito abatement spraying
this year.
Bob Christie was one of
several people who spoke at
Monday night’s City Council
meeting, saying he can’t spend
any time outside without
getting
bombarded
by
mosquitoes. He put the onus on
the city to figure out a way to
reduce the pest problem.
“There has to be a way to get
relief,” he said.
Joyce Sweeney said she had
guests visiting from out of town
who said, “I don’t know how you
live here. It’s like hell.”
Christie said he was also
concerned about the city’s
ability to make money from the
Stampede, partially because of
the mosquito problem.
“This rodeo’s going to go
downhill faster than it did
before,” he said.
Several residents questioned
why they had not heard about
the lack of mosquito abatement
spraying until late in the spring.
City Administrator Ralph
Malone and council member
Lew Goebel pointed out that the
budgeting process happens in
November and December and
meetings are open to the public.
Goebel said this past
budgeting process was “the
most
painstaking
budget
process” he’s experienced in his
time on council.
Local resident Larry Darley
spoke about the possibility of
creating a mosquito control
district.
Long-term, that would be
the best way of controlling the
pests, he said, but it would take

There are several
ways to deter pests
The Chronicle
OMAK — With the issue of
mosquito abatement spraying
hot on people’s minds, the
cities of Omak and Okanogan
have both released ways to
keep the bloodsucking bugs
away.
• Destroy or dispose of tin
cans, old tires, buckets, unused
plastic swimming pools or
other containers that collect
and hold water.
• Clean debris from rain
gutters and remove any
standing water under or
around structures or on flat
roofs.
• Change the water in bird
baths and wading pools at least
once a week.
• Stock ornamental pools
with top-feeding predacious
minnows.
• Irrigate lawns and gardens
carefully to prevent water from
standing for several days.
• Mosquitoes can be kept
out of the home by keeping
windows, doors and porches
that are tightly screened (16-18

two to three years of hard work.
Once implemented, the
mosquito control district would
focus on killing the larvae,
before an actual mosquito
problem has a chance
to
develop.

Steven Hoffpauir battles flames on the Sand Flat near U.S. Highway 97 north of Omak on Thursday, June 13.
Fire scorches Omak hillside
Several homes
endangered by
series of blazes
By Jennifer Marshall
The Chronicle
OMAK – Fire officials are
still investigating the cause of a
string of fires June 13 that
triggered evacuations in one
neighborhood and shut down a
two-mile section of U.S.
Highway 97.
“I have a theory, but I’m not
ready to release that officially,”
Omak Fire Department Chief
Kevin Bowling said on Monday
morning.
Seven fires, all reported at
about 1 p.m., burned a total of
about 29 acres and closed the
highway for about an hour and
a half between mileposts 292
and 294.
An eight-acre blaze named
the West River Road Fire –
three fires that merged into one
– was the “most significant” in
that it was the only one to cause
damage and threaten several
homes, Bowling said.
The house at 19 W. River
Road caught fire, but “we were
able to put that out before there
was too much damage,” he said.
At 29 W. River Road, an old
truck and car out in a field were
destroyed, and at 23 W. River
Road, a garage and shop took
some heat damage, he said. He
didn’t know if any of the owners
had insurance.
Some residents came home

from work to help protect their
property and to move their
animals – mostly horses and
dogs – out of harm’s way.
“This is ridiculous,” Vickie
Scholla said, watching smoke
rise over the nearby hill. She
lives in the last house on the
north side of the dead-end road.
“I came outside and there
was a wall of fire,” she said.
Friends and family came
over to check on Scholla, who is
recovering from a stroke. At
that point, residents were
buzzing about the possibility
that the fires were not
accidental.
“Yeah, Malott! All right!”
Scholla cheered from her
driveway as another crew
arrived to douse the smoldering
sagebrush.
A pregnant woman, Shauna
Rice, paced the road and
breathed through a red cloth as
she watched smoke billow
behind her parents’ two-story
home. Rice lives next door with
her husband.
“My pool is gone,” she said,
and noted that her father’s shop
took some damage. “My
husband won’t let me back
there to see what’s going on, but
I imagine it burned up the
hillside.”
While Okanogan County
Sheriff’s Office deputies were
on hand to help people
evacuate, most residents stuck
close to home, watching flames
rise behind their houses to
consume sagebrush, bushes
and trees. Nearly every yard
had at least one fire truck
parked on it so crews could
focus on structure protection.
Up the road, one man took
preventive measures in hosing
down a wooden shed near his
house, while another dragged
his sprinkler into the dry grass
and sagebrush by his front yard.

Dansel receives Farm Bureau’s nod
Three hopefuls
vying for Senate

OMAK – The Okanogan
County Farm Bureau is
recommending Brian Dansel be
endorsed in the race for the 7th
Legislative District senate seat
following a debate Monday
night.
The board of the local
chapter voted unanimously to
recommend the Washington
State Farm Bureau endorse
Dansel, 30, of Republic, over
Mike
Brunson,
57,
of
Springdale and Sen. John
Smith, 40, of Colville in the
Republican primary.
Ferry and Stevens counties’
Brunson
Dansel
Farm Bureaus have yet to make
recommendations.
The candidates tackled
several local hot-button topics
— from eminent domain to
water rights to preserving
agriculture — Monday evening
at the debate in the Koala Street
Grill and Neighborhood Bar’s
large meeting room.
While the two-hour event
was largely
civil, Dansel
and Smith
traded a few
barbs.
Dansel
called Smith
a
“slick
talker,” and
Smith
accused him
Smith
of “making
blind
speeches” about decisions made
in Olympia.
All three candidates agreed
on most issues, coming out in
opposition to the Growth
Management Act, the state and
federal government buying
privately-owned lands with
taxpayer dollars and the state
Department of Ecology’s ability
to revoke water rights, among
other things.
One major difference in
opinion was about volunteering
requirements in education. One
Farm Bureau board member
asked the candidates if they
were in favor of a bill
introduced this year that would
have made community service
mandatory for high school
students.
While Brunson and Dansel
said they felt such a law would
cross the line in terms of “big
government,” Boy Scout leader
Smith said he believed it was a
good idea so children won’t go
into the real world with a sense
of entitlement.
The three also had different
answers when it came to what
their Top 2 objectives would be

He volunteered and served

My information comes from

Early in his life he was

He wrote a speller, a

In the year of his death,

Sanpoil installation will
interrupt ferry service
officials expect
suspension to last
about six weeks
The Chronicle
KELLER – To accommodate
the new vessel that will soon
carry passengers across the
Columbia River, Keller ferry
service will be suspended for
nearly six weeks beginning July
8.
Ferry service will resume with
the maiden voyage of the new
vessel, the Sanpoil, on Aug. 14.
Since the new vessel is wider
and sits higher in the water
than its predecessor, parts of
the terminals and ramps must
be rebuilt.
The work requires the
terminals and existing ferry to
be taken out of service.
During the disruption,
drivers will need to use
alternate routes such as state
Highway 25, to reach their
destinations, Mike Frucci,
acting
eastern
region
administrator for the state
Department of Transportation,
said.
“We realize this will be an
inconvenience to drivers during
the summer,” Frucci said. “The
work needed to be scheduled
after the school year ended and
coordinated with both the new
vessel
construction
and
summertime river levels.”
Buses use the ferry to take
children between Keller and
Wilbur.
The terminal contractor,
Max J. Kuney Co. of Spokane, is
acquiring
materials
and
assembling some of the
components in preparation for
the work.
The job includes ramp,
electrical
and
flotation
improvements, and equipment
that moves the terminals up
and down the ramps to adapt to
changes in water levels, which
can vary as much as 80 feet
during the year.
Assembly work continues on
the Sanpoil.
The pilot house is in place
and electrical, hydraulic and
drive systems are being
installed. The vessel will be put
in the water mid-July for
testing and crew training.
A
special
christening
ceremony and tribal blessing
for the new vessel are scheduled
for Aug. 14. Following the

Third stabbing suspect charged
Two brothers now
join sister in jail
By Dee Camp
The Chronicle
OKANOGAN – The third
suspect in a stabbing that
injured
an
Omak
man
was arrested
last week and
charged June
17
in
Okanogan
County
Superior
Court.
Jesse
Jesse Flores Leonard
Flores,
27,
was arrested June 12 by the
Okanogan County Sheriff’s
Office in the stabbing of Jeff
Weitman, 33, at the home of
Sandra McCorkle on North
Birch Street.
Flores was charged with
first-degree robbery and firstdegree assault with a deadly
weapon.
Weitman reported the
stabbing at 6 p.m. May 16, said
a report from Omak Police
officer
Rusty
Tallant
accompanying the filing.
Tallant’s report said he
found Weitman near the corner
of North Birch Street and West
Bartlett Avenue, and McCorkle
outside her home.
She said she’d been inside
the house and didn’t know what
was going on.
She told officers Faith Ann
Flores, 27, had been at the
home with her two brothers.
Meanwhile,
LifeLine
Ambulance was called to take
Weitman
to
Mid-Valley
Hospital, Omak.
Officers learned Weitman
and Faith Flores apparently had
argued the day before.
Weitman had gone to
McCorkle’s home May 16 to
borrow a weed trimmer, but
when he arrived an altercation
developed between him and
Faith Flores’ brothers, Jesse
Flores and Johnathon Michael
Flores, 32, the report said.
McCorkle allegedly had been
locked in the bedroom by Faith
Flores.
The altercation between
Weitman and the brothers
apparently happened in the
kitchen, Tallant’s report said. A
wine glass was broken and a
cabinet was damaged.
The disagreement allegedly
was over an interchange
Weitman had had on Facebook
with another woman, leading
Faith Flores to become upset,
the report said.
Weitman was treated for a
stab wound to the leg and
released.
The Flores siblings allegedly
took the contents of his pockets.
Faith Flores was arrested the
next day.
She was charged May 23
with being an accomplice to
first-degree assault with a
deadly weapon and as an
accomplice to first-degree
robbery.
Bail was set at $50,000.
Johnathon
Flores
was
arrested May 30 and charged
with first-degree robbery and
first-degree assault. Bail was set
at $150,000.
All three remained in jail as

OKANOGAN
–
A
transmission
line
project
proposed 17 years ago between
Pateros and Twisp will be on
hold a while longer.
State Commissioner of
Public Lands Peter Goldmark
has asked the state Supreme
Court to review an earlier ruling
that would have allowed the
Okanogan County Public Utility
District to condemn state
school trust lands.
The Division III Court of
Appeals in Spokane ruled May 7
that the utility could condemn
those lands, denying an appeal
filed by Goldmark on behalf of
the Department of Natural
Resources,
along
with
Conservation Northwest.
“The Court of Appeals
decision erroneously elevated
the PUD’s authority over that of
the trustee, DNR, creating new
law inconsistent with this
court’s prior precedents,” the
state argues in its petition.
The utility couldn’t move
ahead on the project until the
agencies were given a chance to
appeal the ruling. The last day
to file a petition for review with
the Supreme Court was June 6,
and the state submitted its
request right on deadline.
However, the Supreme
Court still has to accept the
petition, which could take some
time.
“There is no specific
timeline,” Pacifica Law Group
attorney Paul J. Lawrence said.
“I believe that the court will
decide whether to accept review
after its summer recess in
September or October and that
if review is accepted argument
would be in January. But that is
only my best guess.”
Pacific Law Group, based in
Seattle, is the special attorney
general representing the state,
appointed
after
former
Attorney
General
Rob
McKenna refused to represent
Goldmark in 2010.
The utility has 30 days to file
a response to the petition.
General Manager John Grubich
declined to comment.
Dave
Werntz
with
Conservation Northwest said
his organization didn’t have a
part in filing the petition.
The land in question, about
12 miles of shrub steppe
habitat, is leased for cattle
grazing, with the profits going
”
to schools around the state.
“The proposed line requires a
100 foot-wide easement over
approximately 12.2 miles of trust
land and crosses through the
largest contiguous publicly
owned shrub-steppe habitat in
the Methow Valley,” the petition
states. “The Legislature has
directed the state to take
coordinated efforts to preserve
this type of habitat for grazing,
wildlife and recreation purposes.”
Last month’s decision said
the Department of Natural
Resources receives $3,000 per
year from those leases and “the
fact that school trust lands are
devoted to the purpose of
financing
education
was
insufficient to exempt the
property from condemnation.”
In addition, the three-judge
panel held that the state would
have received more revenue
from the utility’s willingness to
pay for the easements, and the
lessees would have been able to
continue leasing the land.
The utility began eminent
domain proceedings in 2009,
when the state became one of
the landowners who refused to
grant easements for the 27-mile
transmission
line
and
substation.
Environmental review for
the project took about 10 years,
with Conservation Northwest
arguing that the new line would
increase wildfire risk, trigger
the growth of noxious weeds,
disrupt wildlife and exacerbate
erosion.
The debate over the utility’s
eminent domain authority
began when the utility couldn’t
get easements from about 15
percent of the area landowners.
The utility filed a final petition
for condemnation in April 2010.
Former Okanogan County
Superior Court Judge Jack
Burchard ruled against the
state’s case in May 2010, which
claimed that the utility can’t
condemn state lands dedicated
to a public use. Burchard
contended the line qualified as
public use.

Our View
Politicos
should
stick
to issues
The election season is under way, and with it
likely comes many intense debates.
Our message to candidates: Stick to the issues.
On Monday night, Republican candidates in
the 7th Legislative District senate race squared off
in Omak. And while the political hopefuls didn’t
resort to name calling, the intensity of the
campaign was already showing.
Mike Brunson of Springdale, Brian Dansel of
Republic and John Smith of Colville faced each
other down in an effort to get the endorsement of
area cattlemen.
Although Smith, who was appointed to replace
retired Sen. Bob Morton, has had only a few
months on the job, Dansel took several jabs at
him. Dansel chastised Smith for his membership
in an environmental group and for horse-trading
on wolf legislation.
For his part, Smith challenged his opponents
to top his record of leadership and his dedication
to representing North-Central Washington.
Brunson mostly stayed out of those debates,
focusing more on what he would do if elected.
All-in-all, the candidates did a great job
avoiding mud-slinging. That’s important,
especially this early in the election cycle.
Voters want to hear reasons why they should
support a particular candidate, rather than why
they shouldn’t support another.
If the candidates continue to stick to the issues
rather than personalities, North-Central
Washington will be well-represented in the senate
next year no matter who wins.
Let’s hope the mud stays at home and
candidates continue to debate the issues.
Google can’t
solve it all
The beautiful thing about the Internet is the
sheer volume of information it contains. At the
same time, the worst part of the Internet … is also
the sheer volume of information it contains.
I ran headlong into both aspects of Google’s
mammoth search capacity last week during a
kitchen mishap.
By no means am I the most proficient man
around when it comes to cooking, but I can
handle a few basic meals when I have enough
time where I’m not settling for fast food on a time
crunch. Last week, I was dicing tomatoes, onions
and a variety of peppers for some salsa.
Jalapenos had never burnt my hands very
much in the dozen or so times I’d sliced them
before, but for some reason, I must have gotten a
particularly fiery bunch.
Within a half-hour, my left hand had begun to
sizzle mildly. After an hour had gone by, the tips
of my fingers
were in a fullblown blaze
that sent me
tapping away
at the keys of
my laptop,
Garrett
begging for
Rudolph
answers from
the Google
machine. The pain, in and of itself, was bearable.
But sleeping through it seemed an impossibility.
A search for “jalapeno hands burning” brought
up 328,000 results. Browsing through pages
upon pages of home remedies, it seemed nobody
could agree on the best methods. The only
agreement I could find — Wear gloves! — was
hindsight that didn’t help me one bit.
Yet, one after another, I tried a wide variety of
rather embarrassing tips on how to ease the
burning. Dairy products, one suggestion said. So,
I tried bowls of sour cream, first, and then
eventually milk, soaking my aching hand for 20
minutes.
Although soothing for the moment, the burn
returned as soon as I removed my hand … and
sleeping with one hand in a bowl of milk hardly
seemed like an option.
So I continued down the list. Vinegar,
mustard, vegetable oil — no help.
Toothpaste, alcohol, egg whites and After Bite
bug ointment (a product I had to pick up the week
before from working on, ironically, a story about
mosquitoes) also failed to bring relief.
Urine, one suggestion said. I had to draw the
line. I wasn’t in that much pain.
I went to the store for a couple last ditch
efforts. Limes, one of the most highly touted cures
online, had absolutely no effect. Neither did
calamine lotion.
The burning was so intense and distracting, I
began to worry how well I’d be able to function
the next day at work. Would I be able to focus?
Would my fingers be too tender for typing?
The jalapeno burn could last up to 24 hours, some
websites said.
Finally, in the early hours of the morning,
exhaustion turned out to be the greatest cure as I
passed out with my hand still on fire.
The lesson I learned was a tough one to come
to grips with, having spent the vast majority of my
life with the Internet at my fingertips: Google
might have all the information in the world, but it
can’t solve every problem.

Don’t mandate community service
The 7th Legislative District
Senate debate Monday night shed
some light on a hot-button issue
that’s sure to come up again.
The issue is whether state law
should be enacted to require
volunteer service for high school
students to graduate.
Candidate Sen. John Smith said
he supports the idea; challengers
Mike Brunson and Brian Dansel
both opposed it.
Smith said mandating
community service teaches
leadership. He has a point.
You don’t have to go very far in
our neck of the woods to see who
the movers and shakers are. In
fact, it’s likely they are
volunteering on a number of
boards from chambers to rodeos to
booster clubs; you get the picture.
Dansel and Brunson said
schools are in place to teach
academics, not how to act as a
member of society.
They have a point, too.
on the
hot
seat
Roger Harnack
How can you mandate
community service, something that
is supposed to be voluntarily
given?
I’ll side with Dansel and
Brunson on this issue.
Coercing our youth to give s0called “freely” of their time cannot
guarantee leadership. In fact,
that’s just the opposite.
Leadership stems from making
a decision, not being told what to
do.
If we want our youth to grow
and develop, we definitely should
encourage them to volunteer in
activities they believe in, not order
them to “volunteer” in activities
and social programs we believe in.
The bottom line is public
schools were created for one single
purpose — to educate students on
reading, writing, mathematics and
other academic subjects. In
supporting that effort, shouldn’t
our students choose where to
spend their time and effort?
Nothing irks me more than
seeing parents use children to
further political causes they do not
understand. Mandating
community service can devolve to
just that.
Given a chance, our high school
students will find a way to make
our communities a better place to
live. But it only becomes better if
they choose to do something.
Indeed, several students
already choose to make their
hometowns better. Look at the
ranks of the Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, Civil Air Patrol, etc. and
you’ll see they have chosen to join
a group that emphasizes
volunteerism and helping others.
And yes, there are also many
students who choose not to be a
part of those groups.
But having choices is a
fundamental building block of
American society.
Forcing youth into community
service is counter-productive to
making our communities better
and building leadership.
Rather than thinking about
how to make our communities
better, this type of coercion leads
to “How can I fulfill another
graduation requirement?”
I’d rather reward students for
taking initiative, than coerce them
into helping out a teacher’s or
parent’s pet project.

Gray wolf issue viewed differently
The Chronicle’s June 12
editorial on the federal proposal to
take wolves off the list of
endangered species could leave
readers less informed than if they
hadn’t read the paper.
I will try to avoid taking issue
with your opinions, and instead try
to clarify some facts. In regard to
your editorial’s statements:
Guest
Column
Mitch
Friedman
“A bill enacted earlier this year
only exacerbated the problem by
classifying wolves as big game
rather than predator.”
In fact, the Legislature did not
pass any bill to reclassify wolves to
big game. The gray wolf remains
only classified as protected under
the state endangered species law.
The bill that passed, House Bill
5193, did not include any
reclassification provision.
Furthermore, state law has no
predator classification and I’m not
aware of anyone having even
proposed such a thing in Olympia.
themselves, their livestock and
their livelihoods from wolves.”
The “verbiage” you’re referring
to is imaginary. The only relevant
change is a bipartisan group of
legislators implored the Fish and
Wildlife Commission to pass a rule
authorizing people to shoot a wolf
caught in the act of preying on a
pet or livestock.
The commission adopted the
rule April 26, as The Chronicle
reported accurately. It has always
been entirely legal for persons to
defend themselves from attack by
a wolf or any other animal (or
human).
“Unfortunately, that verbiage
essentially stripped rural
residents of the right to defend
“About two years ago,
backroom deals led to a
management plan that offered
little in the way of protections for
rural residents, livestock and
pets.”
The state’s gray wolf
conservation and management
plan was developed through an
extremely open process that
included a diverse stakeholder
group, 23 public meetings and
over 65,000 public comments.
The only backroom here is
where ever The Chronicle gets this
vitriol to inflame readers.
“While we have dealt with dayto-day interactions with the
predators and attacks on livestock
and pets…”
There actually isn’t a single
wolf pack in the Okanogan Valley
or highlands. The packs on the
Colville Reservation, Methow, and
deep in the heart of the North
Cascades have mostly minded
their own business.
The only day-to-day thing is
The Chronicle’s rants about wolves
while ignoring issues actually
affecting readers such as
unemployment and underfunded
education.
“As long as wolves remain on
the state endangered species list,
wolves will likely continue to pose
a serious threat…”
Again, there are no wolf packs
in the valley, which is both why
they don’t pose much of a threat
and why they are on the
endangered list. When a wolf
population is recovered, that’s
when they should and will be
removed from the endangered list.
Conservation Northwest, the
Washington Cattlemen’s
Association, Fish and Wildlife, and
a number of ranching families are
working hard to avoid conflict
between wolves and livestock
through proven means such as
range riders. Conservation
Northwest is presently funding
three of these within the territories
of the Smackout, Teanaway and
Wenatchee wolf packs, and its
working well.

From our readers
What happened to
spraying budget?
Where did the budget for
spraying mosquitoes go?
I found it interesting that in last
week’s weekend edition that the
public works director said the city
of Omak did not budget for
spraying this year (2013).
Then on Page 2 of the story was
a statement that said “last year,
Omak budgeted money to spray for
mosquitoes, but several
circumstances delayed – and
eventually canceled – the
spraying.”
So what happened to the
money?
The mosquitoes are awful this
year. Kids can't even enjoy playing
outside. Families can't enjoy
barbecues or being out in the yard.
We like working in our yard but
it is miserable to try mowing,
weeding or even watering flowers
with all of the mosquitoes. Who
really wants to douse themselves,
or their kids with bug spray just to
get some yard work done or play
outside.
I would be happy if $1 a month
of my city bill went toward a fund
for annual mosquito spraying. If
the city did not need to spray one
year the money would be saved to
use in future spraying.
I would love to invite any city
council member to my house on
South Main for a barbecue and try
to enjoy sitting out on our deck.
Just a reminder – in 2012 there
were four documented cases of
West Nile virus in humans in the
state.
Do we really want to take the
chance?

Omak
Wolf issue is about
creating hysteria
Once again the paper’s editor
lets loose with a wild bunch of
poorly researched dribble
concerning wolves.
The inaccuracies in the June 12
editorial are extensive, and, as I’ve
written before, I firmly believe that
there are likely numerous issues
that have a much larger negative
impact on Okanogan County than
wolves.
Meth, DUIs, unemployment,
better schools, better
infrastructure, alcoholism,
promoting tourism, poorly
planned developments and a host
of other obvious challenges would
almost certainly warrant
addressing – if the criteria for
addressing the issues were real as
opposed to imaginary impacts –
well before even considering the
teeny weeny amount of damage
done by a couple of dozen wolves.
But then again, the wolf thing
isn’t about facts. It’s about
generating hysteria and selling
papers. The editor should read the
Aesop fable about the boy that
cries wolf.
By the way, if the newspaper
wanted to really help preserve
rural life (as the article’s headline
read), it should be featuring stories
about big new markets for organic
grass fed beef, creative programs
that help preserve open space and
ranches, and a host of other things
being done in other parts of the
west to keep the rural lifestyle alive
and well.

Bats are the
answer to bugs
Spraying for mosquitoes always
seems to be unpredictable year to
year. Spraying for these creatures
twice a year used to be the norm.
Then, it was once a year. Now,
we’re lucky if at all. What about
fighting nature with nature?
Bats!
What if we have our residents
build bat boxes and put them up
on poles or trees?
We could have inmates at the
local jail build them as well. Boxes
would be a long rectangle with a
hanging dowel for the bats to hang
out. Paint it black so it absorbs the
heat, which bats like. Bats would
eat tens of thousands!
Bats would multiply and the
mosquito population would
dwindle over the years. So what if
we have a bat problem. It’s a
preferred problem to the
mosquitoes. I’ll build mine.

OMAK – Two rural residents were
taken to Harborview Medical Center in
Seattle with burns after their home caught
fire early June 18.
Red Hiler and Kathleen Descoteaux
were injured. Both were in serious
condition in the intensive care unit,
according to HarborView Medical Center.
Omak Fire Chief Kevin Bowling said
Omak and Okanogan firefighters were
called at 1:22 a.m. to a fully involved
double-wide mobile home at 35 Peacock
Lane off the Old Riverside Highway north
of town. Two vehicles also were fully
involved.
The home and vehicles were
destroyed. A shop and another
outbuilding were damaged.
Bowling said Descoteaux told
firefighters she woke up to find the
kitchen on fire. She and Hiler received
burns; their 1 ½-year-old child was not
hurt. Relatives took in the child, Bowling
said.
The fire’s cause is under investigation.
Firefighters were on the scene until
3:50 a.m. Fire crews from Malott and Fire
District No. 7 (rural Riverside) were
called for water tenders.
Bowling said he doesn’t know if Hiler
and Descoteaux had insurance. The home
was owned by Duane Partridge.

The coalition hopes to

there has been a 93 percent
increase of prescription drug
abuse among 10th-graders in
Okanogan County between
2008 and 2012.
“It would be a good public
service,” Town Clerk Jackie
Moriarty said.
Holloway began looking into
the program after fielding
phone calls from residents
wanting to know how to dispose
of prescriptions left behind by
loved ones who had died.
The drop box will be on the
Third Avenue side of the police
department, next to the
customer door, she said. The
building is at 118 S. Glover St.
“The slot will be through a
block wall, and the box is a lined
box with a double lock on the
inside of our evidence room,”
she said.
“Only two folks in Town Hall
that have access to that
evidence room.”
A security camera located
right outside the door will also
be
used
to
discourage
tampering. The drugs will be
routinely picked up and
shipped to Spokane to be
destroyed.
This will be the second
permanent prescription drug
drop box in Okanogan County.
The first was installed at the
Omak Police Department in
September 2012. The total cost
was about $1,700, Hallowell
said.
Twisp likely will stick to
following Omak’s drop box
policy, she said.
Omak’s drop box is located
on the north side of the police
department, 8 N. Ash St., and is
accessible 24 hours a day.

City hires firm for water upgrades
The Chronicle
WINTHROP – The Town
Council
has
hired
an
engineering firm to get the ball
rolling on a water upgrade
project along Upper Bluff Street
while waiting for the state to
release funds to pay for the
project.
The council approved an
agreement June 5 with
Olympia-based Shea, Carr and
Jewell Inc. for $28,697.50 for
design
and
construction
oversight to install about 2,100
linear feet of new 8-inch water
main from Bridge Street to the
town limits to the north,

Brunson, the owner of a

his focus on small business. He
said he’d like to see businesses

receive a quarterly tax credit for
keeping their employees on

according to the agreement .
Before the work begins, the
town is waiting to see the
outcome of the state Legislature’s
budget, where a potential Public
Works Trust Fund loan of more
than $1 million is tied up, Public
Works Superintendent Richard
Karro said.
“They’re still in session and
haven’t made any decisions
related to sources we’re looking
for,” he said, though the trust
fund board has recommended
the loan. “We’re kind of up in
the air.”
The water main upgrade for
Upper Bluff Street would cost
an estimated $200,000, he
said, but the $1 million loan
would also help pay for other
future water improvements.
The Town Council approved
water rate increases last year in
anticipation of the loan.
“If we don’t (get the loan),
we’ll have to handle it internally
with reserves or we will find
another funding source. We’re
basically
funded
for
it,
internally,” Karro said.
The town has also applied
for funding from the Drinking
Water State Revolving Fund,
which is controlled by same
public works board, he said.
The contract with Shea, Carr
and Jewell Inc. assumes a
completion date of Dec. 31.
Once that project is
completed – possibly by the end
of this year, though Karro said
there’s a chance bids may not be
sought until next spring – the
town can rebuild the road.
The town has received about
$812,000 in federal grants and
$125,000 in matching funds
from the state Transportation
Improvement Board for the
road reconstruction, he said.
Winthrop is finishing work
on another road, Castle, which
Karro said was a “total rebuild.”
“It had no foundation like a
completely built road had… We
also installed an irrigation
ditch,” he said. “There was no
problem with the water system
under there.”

“No one’s doing anything to

and
introduce a bill that would hit
legislators directly in their
wallets if they don’t pass a

Smith plans to continue the
wolf debate. He said the
discussion this year did change
some minds among people who
once thought the endangered
wolves trumped the livelihoods
and safety of ranchers.
He also said it’s important to
draw
more
youth
into
agriculture as a career path.
“If we do not capture the
younger generation, we’re gone,”
the longtime farmer said. “They
need opportunity and vision.”
The underlying message
from all the candidates was the
need to take action.
“I think we need a fighter in

Dansel said.

City officials said the cost to

spraying this year would be
about $18,000, but even if the
money were available, spraying
would not have been done yet at
this point in the year.
“You cannot spray effectively
until the river begins to go
down,” which is normally late
June or early July, Malone said.
“If we applied too soon, we’d
spend $18,000 and not get
much result,” Malone said.
• Plant herbs such as thyme,
lemon balm, chives and catnip
in shady areas to deter
mosquito hiding places.
• Plant marigold, citronella
grass, catmint and lemon balm.
These plants are a natural
deterrent for a wide range of
bugs, including mosquitoes.
• Take vitamin B1 (with
thiamin). It is a natural
repellent for the female
mosquitoes, which do the
biting.
• Plant basil, lemongrass,
rosemary and garlic in your
home. These are natural insect
repellents; they can also be
consumed and have a repellent
effect.
• Essential oils can be used
in place of repellents you can
buy at the store.
Geraniol and oil of lemon
eucalyptus are the most
common and long lasting.
Soybean oil is another option.

Goodall resigns position on fair board
The Chronicle
OKANOGAN
–
The
Okanogan County Fair may see
a cutback in behind-the-scenes
help from one of its most ardent
supporters and volunteers.
Maurice Goodall, a two-year
member of the county Parks and
Recreation Board that oversees
fair operations, resigned last
week. He notified Okanogan
County commissioners Monday
morning, but he said he’d still
try to see a few projects through
and give his time to the fair in
other ways.
“I know I can serve the
community, but I’ve been dumped
on,” he told commissioners during
an hour-long discussion.
“It’s a huge loss, and I’m just
sorry we haven’t been able to do
anything prior to losing you,”
Commissioner Sheilah Kennedy
said.
“I have nothing but good to
say about the accomplishments
you’ve done down there and the
work you’ve done down there,”
Commissioner Jim DeTro said
to Goodall.
Goodall’s resignation came
on the heels of a heated June 12
Parks and Recreation Board
meeting, where he said about 50

residents showed up to
complain about a new policy the
board had already implemented
that requires youth to own
livestock for at least 70 days
before showing and selling it at
the fair.
The point of the policy, he
said, is to make the competition
fair for children who spend
months raising their animals
and learning about them and
about agriculture.
There have been a small
number of occasions when a
child would either buy his or her
animal mere days before the
fair, or select the best animal
among several before tagging it,
Goodall said.
“It’s about the community,
and it’s about our children,” he
said. “It’s about learning what is
right and what is wrong. It’s a
small inconvenience to make
sure everyone is on the same
level playing field.”
Despite
the
board’s
intentions, he said residents at
the meeting were angry about
the new rule, and some even
called his home to attack him.
“We were told basically that
the community didn’t care that a
kid would buy a pig two weeks
before and sell it at the fair,” he
told commissioners.
The board members, with
the exception of Goodall, went
into recess to discuss the issue,
he said.
Kennedy said the board
should have had that discussion
in the public meeting.
“I was at that meeting the
other night, and I was shocked,”
she said. “The board shifted and
caved in to the public after
policy had already been set…
That’s unfortunate.”
Minutes from the meeting
were not available, and board
Chairwoman Gwen Whitley and
Secretary
Lonnie
Dixon
declined to comment after the
meeting.
An emergency meeting was
set for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, after
The Chronicle went to press.
Kennedy expressed concern that
one or two other board
members who support Goodall
might also resign.
“If we don’t have a board, we
don’t have a fair, and that
should alarm the whole county,”
she said.
Commissioner Ray Campbell
called the problem “mob rule.”
“They’re not bad people, but
they make some bad decisions,”
he said.
Goodall, 49, moved to Omak
about 22 years ago and has been
involved in the fair ever since.
While he couldn’t estimate the
number of hours he has
volunteered for the fair outside
of his full-time job as a state
trooper, he said he gives his time
seven days a week.
Before coming to Omak, he
was involved in the Chelan
County Fair for a number of
years, and his family raises
sheep, pigs, chickens, guinea
horses and cows on their farm.
He joined the board in 2011
because he “saw the fair failing
year after year.”
His concerns ultimately led
him to find ways to cut down the
budget, which is funded solely
through ticket sales and is
funneled directly back into the
fair each year. The result was a
cheaper
Internet
service
provider, fewer phone lines and
a savings of more than $50,000
when the board agreed to lay off
the fair manager.
Going into 2013, he said, the
fair budget had a carryover of
$104,000, compared to $8,200
the year before, and that was
due to a number of factors:
More revenue from rental fees
and donations, more people
volunteering to maintain and
repair the fairgrounds and
making sure everyone who
attends the fair pays their way.
One of his main concerns is
the number of people – “droves
and droves,” he said – who
manage to get into the fair for
free.
Some are people who may
have donated in the past or
helped in some other way that
feel they therefore shouldn’t
have to pay, he said.
But some of those people, he
said, didn’t contribute much of
anything except a “puffed chest
and a big cowboy hat.
“I see the good old boy
system working major down
there,” he said. “If you’re going
to volunteer, that’s without
compensation, and if you
donate, it’s without hooks.”
He said no matter what
happens, the fair will go on. He
asked the commissioners to
make sure the next board
member appointed to take his
place is “not just a signature” to
fill the spot.
“I’m a speck in history, but
it’s pretty sad our society is
going on the way it is,” he said.
“I just wish it had been a lot
longer run. I was in it for the
long haul.”

Larry Neely worked with
firefighters to hook hoses up to
a hydrant in front of his
neighbors’ home.
A couple who declined to be
interviewed stood on the edge
of their lawn and held each

work quickly to keep the fire
from reaching the house.
“We just want to make sure
our house is safe,” the woman
said.
Residents were cleared to
return to their homes by about
4 p.m.
Because no residents were
displaced for more than a few
hours and no homes were
damaged or destroyed, local
organizations such as the
American Red Cross and
Okanogan County Community
Action Council were not asked
to set up shelters, county
Emergency Manager Scott
Miller said.
“If we opened a shelter,
nobody would show up at it,” he
said on Thursday.
Miller was stationed at the
head of the road with Okanogan
County sheriff’s deputy Dave
Yarnell. The primary focus of
his job, he said, is wildfires.
“All it takes is one lightning
strike, one person with a burn
barrel who doesn’t know they’ve
been illegal for 20 years,” Miller
said.
The highest-risk months for
wildfires are early July through
late September, with 3-7 p.m.
being the daily window for new
fire starts since that’s the
hottest time of day. He noted
the three elements a fire needs
to ignite and take off: Fuel,
oxygen and an ignition source.
“Today, we have all three,”
Yarnell said, referencing the
windy conditions.

Under the proposed rate
structure, power costs would
go up 9.5 percent each of the
next three years, starting Sept.
1. Then, the rate would
increase 2.5 percent in 2016
and 2 percent in 2017.
Utility officials say they
need a 13 percent increase this
year to bridge a $4.7 million
budget shortfall.
The projected operating
revenue is $43.69 million and
the projected expenses are
$48.38 million, SAIC
consultant Richard Cuthbert
said May 28.
The rates are part of a larger
discussion – the utility’s 20-year
equity management plan, which
is still being drafted.
The plan shows a need for
meeting the cost of service for
all customers, as well as paying
for an estimated $102.4
million in capital projects.
Capital projects in the plan
include Enloe Dam, the

Non-profit plans lawsuit against gold mine
The Chronicle
TONASKET — On Friday,
the
Okanogan
Highlands
Alliance
notified
Crown
Resources and Kinross Gold of
its intention to file a lawsuit,
claiming
the
companies
violated the Clean Water Act at
the Buckhorn Mine near
Chesaw,
among
other
violations.
“The monitoring data shows
that mine contaminants are
leaking from the mine,”
Okanogan Highlands Alliance
Executive
Director
David
Kliegman said.
“We’ve tried to get the
company to address the
problems… The company, from
our point of view, has not done
what it’s supposed to do.”
Kliegman said he believes a
lawsuit is Okanogan Highlands
Alliance’s “only recourse” at this
time.
Kliegman claims Kinross has
failed to establish and maintain
the groundwater capture zone,
discharged pollutants in excess
of water quality limitations,
discharged pollutants without
permit authority and failed to
comply with the Adaptive
Management Plan for water
quality.
“To file a lawsuit, you have
to give a defendent 60 days
notice,” Kliegman said. “It
could be filed any time after 60
days. A lot depends on what the
company decides to do about
it.”
Kliegman said he would
prefer to come to a resolution
that did not involve filing a
lawsuit.
Crown Resources is in the
process of appealing a civil
penalty issued by state
Department of Ecology for
violating pollution discharge
requirements in 2011 and 2012,
which has been delayed until
November of this year,
Kliegman said.
“This is a really long process
and this is another chapter,” he
said.

TWISP – Available space is
becoming
a
rarity
at
TwispWorks as more artists and
businesses move in.
“All of the heated and
insulated
space
is
full,”
Executive Director Amy Stork
said of the 17 buildings spread
over more than 6 acres of land at
502 S. Glover St., near the heart
of downtown.
TwispWorks, a project that
began in 2009 when a
community-driven
group
purchased the old Twisp Ranger
Station property, now boasts
dozens of what Stork calls
“partners,” from a cab company
to numerous artists who sell
their work and teach workshops,
to a metal shop operated by
Liberty Bell High School and the
Methow Valley Teen Center.
“Getting youth engaged is a
big focus,” Stork said.
Currently,
TwispWorks
houses about 10 working arts
studios, a silversmith, two metal
artists and a painter, she said.
In the future, a local radio
station plans to move in, along
with a backpack store, a
ceramics studio and a print
shop.
TwispWorks is still working
on landscaping, as well as
getting a few remaining
undeveloped buildings ready to
be used year-round.
Some partners prefer to take
that work into their own hands,
Stork said.
“Some people rent the empty
space and build it out
themselves,” she said, though
the Twisp Public Development
Authority makes sure the
buildings and improvements are
aligned
with
safety
requirements.
People have to apply to be
considered as a partner at
TwispWorks.
“It’s a process with the board
to determine if they can be a
good
part
of
a
larger
collaborative project,” Stork
said.
The opportunities for artists,
groups and businesses to work
together on projects is one of the
biggest draws for potential
tenants, she said.
“‘Bigger than the self’ is kind
of the concept,” she said.
The
Twisp
Public
Development Authority was
created by residents who wanted
to use the vacated ranger station,
built in the 1920s, as an
“economic tool that has cultural
and educational properties,”
Stork said.
When the Twisp and
Winthrop
ranger
districts
merged in 2007, leaving the
property vacant, “that’s when the
community came together and
said, ‘How can we use this for the
public benefit?’” Stork said.
The authority is backed by
the TwispWorks Foundation, a
501(c)3 organization. It’s funded
by private donations and income
from renters, as well as the
occasional grant, she said.
TwispWorks is run by a staff
of three workers, along with a
few AmeriCorps volunteers.
“They’re
an
amazing
resource,” she said.

The Chronicle
TONASKET — Excellent
weather provided the backdrop
for two Father’s Day weekend
events in Tonasket, starting
with the 24th annual North
County Car Club car show and
cruise-in Saturday at the
Tonasket Rodeo Grounds.
The show featured 50
entries with 21 different
trophies being awarded. Voting
was done by the public in
attendance throughout the day.
On Saturday evening, a
record 234 people turned out
for the steak barbecue at the
Tonasket Municipal Airport
during the 25th annual Father’s
Day Fly-in kickoff.
The following morning drew
a smaller-than-normal crowd of
about 250 people for breakfast,
with 75 free flights given to
children and 20 paid flights for
adults, organizer Lee Orr said.
“It’s been a good event
because we’ve had so much
great weather,” Orr said. “It’s so
early in the year, we never know
what we’re going to get.”
Bob Hoffman from Twisp,
Dean Buzzard from Tonasket
and Lamoyne Wahl from
Loomis donated their time and
airplanes for the free children’s
rides.
“They put in a lot of time out
there,” Orr said.

Stash
is still
hidden
I have an addiction, but I’ve
been able to suppress it for
several years without the help
of counseling or a 12-step
program.
Even so, I still have a “stash”
in the house, hidden in
drawers, plastic tubs, closets
and boxes.
Like so many others in this
country and others, I am
addicted to fabric.
For many years, I couldn’t
stay away from my suppliers.
I’d cross town for a sale. I’d
veer into every fabric store in
my path. I’d buy fabric for some
unspecified project, someday.
As a result, my sewing room
became filled with yard goods
of every color, print and
texture. Black velvet? Yup. Lace
edging? Check. Polar fleece in
six colors? No problem.
Polyester prints were the
gateway. Then came corduroy.
Pretty soon, I couldn’t be happy
without a wool plaid or a
shimmery satin.
Florals, solids, geometrics.
Then, when my son was small,
an endless procession of
dinosaur prints.
Some fabrics are like old
friends, that old, familiar gang I
hang around with. I’ve had
them so long, I hate to cut into
them. I ask myself, is this the
right project for this fabric?
A few years ago, I
recognized the problem and
vowed not to buy any more
fabric until I’d whittled down
some of the inventory.
It hasn’t been easy, but
that’s pretty much where things
stand, with a slip back to my
old habits every once in awhile.
Falling off the wagon, so to
speak.
By reading blogs online, I’ve
discovered I’m not the only one
similarly afflicted. I had a hint
that was the case when a
former co-worker, who also
likes to sew, talked about how
she organizes her stash.
Some of the folks online
have an even bigger addiction
than I do.
Many also suffer from a
related disease. They have
UFOs.
These
are
Unfinished
Objects — projects that have
been started, but never
finished. I have a few, but not
nearly as many as some people.
Last weekend I learned of a
name for the UFO syndrome:
PHDs, or Projects Half Done.
What makes me feel a little
better about the whole thing is
that I inherited a few pieces of
fabric from my mother and
grandmother, who also had
stashes of fabric.
And, as one blogger pointed
out, the UFOs and PHDs aren’t
anything new either. Just look
through online auction sites
and you’ll find dozens of quilt
tops that someone started but
never finished.
The cycle of addiction
continues.

The Chronicle
OMAK — Two of the city’s
longtime volunteers were
honored June 14 with additions
to Dalton-Klessig Park on
Senna Street.
Henrie was honored with a
plaque and tree.
Her public service was
highlighted, specifically her
determination and tenacity in
convincing the city to create
and maintain the park, City
Administrator Ralph Malone
said.
Dalton-Klessig
Park,
dedicated in 2004, is near
Apple Springs Senior Living,
and provides paths, seating and
shade.
“The planning of the park, a
dream really, started in 1999 as
a vision by Mary Henrie,”
Mayor Cindy Gagne said.
A donation from the DaltonKlessig family allowed the land
purchase and park development.

and
affectionately it is referred to as
Mary’s Park,” although Henrie
refers to it as “God’s Little
Acre,” Gagne said.
A bench near the park’s rose
garden was dedicated to Ella
Houston, who fought to have
the roses included in the park.
Houston died Dec. 24, 2011, at
age 84.
The bench was donated by
Ed and Diana Parker.
“Ella was remembered for
her civic contributions that
included spearheading Art in
the Park as a member of
Kiwanis, her participation in
the Christmas Basket Program,
collecting coats for those in
need and countless hours of
dedicated service for the city of
Omak as a volunteer” with the
Visitor Information Center,”
Gagne said.
Once she baked 7,000
cookies
for
firefighters
deployed to Omak.
“All of those cookies were
delivered at one time, I’m told,”
Gagne said.
“It was a beautiful day to
honor two amazing women,”
she said.

Purses
banned
by NFL
Problems won’t
be solved by
prohibiting bags
When I first heard that
the NFL had proclaimed a
ban on purses at games this
year, I couldn’t help but
chuckle at the football
commissioner and cronies
that oversee a sport that is
without a doubt the most
violent and intense in the
nation.
I definitely understand
the importance of improving
security standards at
sporting events, especially
following the bizarre
bombing episode during this
year’s Boston Marathon.
While my heart goes out
to those who lost love ones
or have had to deal with lifechanging injuries sustained
in the aftermath, the ban is a
bit ridiculous.
Effective immediately,
the NFL announced:
“Fans will only be allowed
to bring in small clear
plastic, vinyl or PVC bags
that do not exceed 6”x12”x6”.
“Other options include a
one gallon freezer bag or a
small ‘clutch bag,’
approximately the size of a
hand. An exception will be
made for medically necessary
items after a proper
inspection at a gate
designated for this purpose.”
Although there are
several other stipulations,
including no backpacks,
briefcases, coolers and fanny
packs, I’m confident
someone or some
organization bent on
terrorism or vengeance will
find a way to skate past the
NFL’s feeble attempt to
impress us with its latest
scam in order to cover up
their inadequate
proficiencies of addressing
issues involving the NFL.
Personally, I’d like to see
the football commission
address the morals of the socalled professionals in the
league, be more aggressive
with violators of
questionable drug policies
and continue support of
athletes that encourage
young kids in their sporting
communities to follow their
dreams and make strong and
valid decisions.
To coin an old adage,
“kids are our future.”
That is still accurate and
the NFL could help
immensely if it would just
remember today’s youth is
no different than generations
gone by. They all want to be
Michael Jordan, Peyton
Manning or Cal Ripken.

Flat Track entries are ‘wait-and-see’
Motorcycles, demo
derby cars battle
Saturday in Omak
By Bob O’Neil
Special to The Chronicle
OMAK
—
With
the
Stampede Demolition Derby
and Xtreme Flat Track races on
tap this Saturday in the
Stampede Arena, race director
Darren Goetz is holding
steadfast in his “wait-and-see”
approach to how his part of the
program will run.
“This
event
for
the
motorcycling enthusiasts is free
and pre-registration is not
required,” Goetz said. “So, it’s
kind of tough to plan an order of
events until riders show up.”
Registration for both racing
and the derby begins at noon,
with motos and heats starting at
“
If you have a bike, come join us
for some fun racing.
Organizer Darren Goetz
”
5 p.m.
“I’ll see how many show and
monitor their riding skills and
find out how many fit in each
age bracket during the practice
session before I make that
decision.”
That’s similar to how Goetz
has managed the Xtreme Flat
Track Race in previous years.
The event attracts dozens of
riders of all ages.
“Last year, I’d estimate that
we had about 40 participants
and I expect we will attract
similar numbers this year,” he
said. “If that turns out to be the
case, we will probably have
novice and expert races in both
the 250 and 450 (cubic
centimeter) divisions, as well as
the crowd favorite ‘training
wheel’ races.”
The motos take place
between
heats
in
the
Demolition
Derby,
which
typically attracts more than
1,000 spectators annually.
“If you have a bike, come
join us for some fun racing,”
Goetz said.
Although Goetz’s motorcycle
racing days as an amateur have
been limited in recent years, his
love for stock car racing is still a
big part of his life.
He manages to take time
from his busy schedule to spend
time with his children, Michael
and Alex, to get away for a
weekend of motocross racing on
the “Off Road Circuit” that runs
from March through November
for five to eight family
excursions.
The addition of the Flat
Track races in conjunction with
the Demolition Derby has been
advantageous for both events.
“For
several
years,
lawnmower races filled in
between
demo
heats,”
Demolition Derby
director
Leon Hoover said. “But that
kind of fizzled out for various
reasons.
“When I contacted Darren to
see if he would be interested in
doing something to help us fill
in time between heats, he said
‘yes’ and the motocross races in
the mud became an instant
crowd-pleaser. It helped to
draw both motorcycle and car
fans to the event.”
For
Goetz
and
his
contingent, the advantages
were two-fold. Not only is the
June 22 event fun for fans, but
it also helps promote the fourth
annual Xtreme AreaCross,
slated for Sept. 14 in the
Stampede Arena.
“Fans get to see how
entertaining motocross racing
is at all levels on a flat track and
want to see what happens when
we add jumps and a more
daring course when we hold our
feature event later in the year.”
Golfers
hit links
to raise
funds
By Bob O’Neil
BRIDGEPORT — Fifteen
golf teams hit the links
Saturday to raise money in the
annual Malottian Open golf
tournament at Lakewood Golf
Course.
The annual tournament
raises funds for improvements
in the unincorporated town of
Malott.
“Every property owner has
its own well and septic system,
so income for maintenance of
our park and our cemetery, as
well as other maintenance
situations, are funded entirely
by fundraisers such as this
tournament, our annual crab
feed and private donations,”
tournament director David
“PeeWee” Howe said.
Treasurer Angela Skirko
said the non-profit Malott
Improvement Club also relies
on annual fees from its
members to support town
maintenance.
This year’s tournament
award winners included Malott
resident Jake Hubbard, who
won “closest to the pin.”

Methow team
wins four
to clinch title
Team takes Babe
Ruth championship
with only 9 players
By Bob O’Neil
OMAK — Methow Valley’s
Babe Ruth baseball team defied
the odds by winning four
straight games to clinch the
championship Sunday in the
season finale. “Playing four games in tone
day and winning all four of
them is pretty tough,” Methow
Valley coach Bret Alumbaugh
said. Making the feat even more
remarkable was that the
Methow team only had nine
players, all in the 13-15 age
range, Alumbaugh said. Methow Valley opened the
tournament with a 1-1 record on
Saturday, before storming
through three loser-out games
Sunday. In the championship series,
Methow Valley got by Omak 106 in the first game to force a
rematch in the doubleelimination format. Methow Valley then won the
title by squeaking by Omak 8-7
in the finale. Omak moved the
tying run to second base with
two outs in the seventh inning
before Methow Valley was able
to seal the win.
“All four of my pitchers were
incredible the whole weekend,
and that’s really the story
behind the weekend,” coach
Alumbaugh said. Methow Valley’s pitchers
were Gavin Wingerd, Cole
Darwood, Ben Klemmeck and
Derek Alumbaugh.
Derek Alumbaugh was
selected by his coaching staff
and peers as the Methow team’s
most valuable player, and Tieler
Sheheen received the honor
from the Omak contingent.
Coach Alumbaugh also
praised the hitting of Jacob
McMillan and Jesse Schultz.
It was the third meeting of
the two teams. Omak handed
Methow its only loss of the
tournament with a 13-5 victory
on Saturday. “It was a pleasant surprise
to handle Methow that easily,”
Omak coach Juan Martinez
said. “They were dominating all
spring long.” Methow opened the
tournament with a 6-2 decision
over Chelan as Wingerd pitched
four strong innings and allowed
2 runs before giving way to
Alumbaugh, who pitched three
scoreless innings to earn the
save.
Methow beat Chelan in the
opening Sunday morning game
and was right back on the field
to face Okanogan in an effort to
gain a rematch with Omak for
the tournament title. No scores were available at
press time for either early
morning game. FROM FOOTBALL

Children flood Bonaparte Lake fishing event
Omak 5-year-old
lands 17.5-inch
rainbow trout
Bob O’Neil
WAUCONDA — Pictureperfect surroundings and ideal
weather made the 18th annual
Kid’s Fishing Day at Bonaparte
Lake even more enjoyable for
the large group of children who
showed up from all over
Okanogan and Ferry counties to
try and catch a whopper.
When the fishing derby
started at 9 a.m. , it didn’t take
long for Omak’s William Austin,
5, to land a 17.5-inch rainbow
trout that ended up being the
biggest of the day. As the bites slowed, patience
paid off for 3-year-old Noah
Volleyball camp hopefuls
raising funds to attend
Graves when he landed a 17.25inch trophy, and a short time
later 3-year-old Leira Lasamiz
hauled in a 16.5-inch monster.
The popular event, hosted by
the Tonasket Ranger District
and the Oroville Sportsman
Club, was called a huge success
as registered participants rose
to 177, up 50 from a year ago.
“We had kids show up at 7

June 22-23, June 26, and June
28-29 at the Community
Cultural Center, 411 S. Western
Ave.
Curtain times are 7 p.m.
June 22, 26, 28 and 29, and 3
p.m. June 23.
Director Sarah Kaiser said
the Tonasket Community
Theater production is a “classic
Western” story of a feisty young
woman who hires a gunslinger
to avenge the land barons
taking over her father’s ranch in
1894.
She said many people are
familiar with the story and ask
how horses, trains, fist fights,
drunks and gunplay can be
translated to the cultural
center’s stage.
Her cast of musicians and
technicians have been very
creative in bringing the comedy
to life, Kaiser said.
Past productions have
included
“To
Kill
a
Mockingbird” and “Animal
Farm,” so the cast is “really
enjoying the down-home fun of
producing a Western.”
The group has been scouring
the community for cap guns,

Carlton Roos.
Musicians, directed by Steve
Kinzie, are Ron Hyde, Judy
Hyde and Sunny Lanigan.
Admission will be charged.
Kaiser suggests buying tickets
in advance, since Tonasket
Community
Theater
productions often sell out.
The theater area will open
for seating 30 minutes prior to
each two-hour performance.
Refreshments
will
be
available.
The event raises money for
the

Pateros man admits to assault
By Dee Camp
The Chronicle
OKANOGAN — A 51-yearold Pateros man has pleaded
guilty to assaulting his son
during a shooting last October.
Derik Robert Darlington
pleaded guilty June 10 in
Okanogan County Superior
Court to first-degree assault for
shooting his son, Weldon A.
Darlington, 22, in their home
Oct. 30, 2012.
A
deadly
weapon
enhancement was dismissed.
The elder Darlington was
sentenced to 48 months in
prison. A nocontact order
for Weldon
Darlington
was imposed.
Derik
Darlington
was booked
into
the
Okanogan
Jail on
D. Darlington County
Oct. 30 for
shooting his son after a verbal
argument turned physical.
Derik Darlington pulled out
a .44-caliber handgun, Sheriff
Frank Rogers said at the time.
Weldon Darlington then
allegedly told his father to go
ahead and shoot him, and the
older man obliged, Rogers said.
The younger man was hit in the
stomach, with the bullet exiting
through his side and then out
his arm.
Weldon Darlington walked
to his grandparents’ house and
called 911. He was taken first to
Three
Rivers
Hospital,
Brewster, and then transferred
to
Central
Washington
Hospital, Wenatchee, where he
underwent surgery.
Derik Darling was arrested
at his home at 180 Ives St. He
was charged Nov. 2, 2012.
