TONASKET - It’s just a drop of water in a very big pool, but it all helps.

The Tonasket Pool Committee’s rubber duck race - a fund-raiser for the Tonasket swimming pool project that likely will cost around $2 million - brought in $2,465.

The race, on Saturday, Aug. 23, featured 493 ducks that were purchased by project supports. They were dumped off the Fourth Street Bridge into the Okanogan River and “raced” to the boat launch at the south end of Chief Tonasket Park, where they were scooped out of the water by a legion of volunteers.

The big winner was KK Young of Shelton, who claimed both first and third prizes (donating her winnings back to the pool). Dave Mitchell of Tonasket owned the second-place duck.

“(It) won’t build our new swimming pool,” said organizer Karen Stangland. “But I hope it will continue to promote our cause. We are serious about building a new pool for the com-munity. Now that summer is ending, we can’t forget about the pool.”

Confluence Health (formerly North Valley Family Medicine) has also donated $1,500, and the Tonasket Garden Club voted to donate $500.

“We have been receiving donations and pledges,” Stangland said. “We thank all of those contributors. Now, we’re asking the rest of you to step up and make donations and pledges.”

She pointed out that the donations, even small ones, are key,

because as the committee applies for grant it is finding that most of them require matching funds.

“The more we collect locally,” she said, “the easier it will be to apply. It shows that the community is supporting the endeavor.”

Oroville updated on airport, street and water projects

RUBBER DUCKY, YOU’RE THE ONE

City Council denies tax refund request by housing authorityBY GARY A. DE VONMANAGING EDITOR

OROVILLE – Oroville continues to move toward closing out recent water and street projects and looks ahead toward the upcoming airport project.

Rod Noel, super-intendent for Public Works gave a report on several projects that have taken place or will begin soon.

“The grant offer has been received and we have our notice of award,” said Noel, regarding an airport project funded through the FAA and state Department of Transportation-Aeronautics Division.

The Federal Aviation Administration financed most of the $89,323 for project which will make repairs to the runway, including crack sealing. The city is also receiving $5339 from the state as a partial match on the project. Road Products, Inc. of Spokane was awarded the bid to do the work.

“The contract is all ready to be signed,” said Noel, adding that work needs to get going before it starts to get cold.

Councilman Ed Naillon made a motion to approve the mayor signing the contract. The motion was seconded by Councilman Walt Hart and passed unanimously.

STREETS AND WATERNoel said a representative from the state

Department of Transportation came up to inspect the Central and Cherry street project, which seal coated Central from

Main to Cherry and Cherry from Central to the Cherry Street Bridge. He said that everything passed inspection, but due to a change order for asphalt, the project’s price increased by $12,795, $10,094, if the federal government contributes to the project’s cost. The city will go to the county to use funds shared by the county and city for transportation projects.

“They approved us as long as it does not exceed $15,000,” said Noel.

The Central and Cherry Streets Project also included replacing water lines under a portion of where the street was to be repaired. The cost of that portion was financed by the city and went over by $3600 due to a couple of change orders, said Noel.

The pavement where the water line connected on main street still needs to be redone before the paving contractor’s contract can be completely closed out, according to Noel.

“We’re still holding fire on the Main Street repair,” he said.

The next grant the city would like to obtain would be one to rebuild 16th street from Main Street to Cherry, including the sidewalk on one side of the street, according to Noel. The city will be looking at potential funding sources. He estimated the cost of at around $700,000 with the city’s share being around $35,000.

“The Pavement Preservation Program is not being funded and the Arterial Street grant requires a five percent match,” said Noel, correcting information he gave at the previous council meeting.

On the subject of water, the city refused to refund fees associated with a home on Westlake Road that had high water use in June.

“The homeowner asked for $350 in relief, the excess amount was $251,” said JoAnn Denney, who was filling in for city clerk Kathy Jones.

“To my knowledge we have never given relief; we have worked with people

A promise fulfilled: Thorntons receive Five Star BannerFamily credits recent newspaper article, local Legion Post BY GARY A. DE VONMANAGING EDITOR

CASHMERE – During World War II an Oroville family had five children who stepped up to serve in the U.S. Armed Services.

This month they received the Five Star Banner promised to those brave siblings’ mother, nearly 70 years ago.

R.L. “Louie” Wilson, Commander of Hodges Post 84 of the American Legion in Oroville, presented the flag to Delores Thornton Hogue of Oroville and Margaret Thornton Malm of Wenatchee.

“The Commander presented the flag to my aunts and Aunt Delores returned to Oroville with the flag as it was earned by an Oroville family and it only seemed appropriate it should find a home in the

valley,” said Thomas Wilburn, who wrote to The Okanogan Valley Gazette-Tribune with the story of his and his family’s quest to receive the banner which was promised by the War Department, but was never received. All Wilburn had was a partial clipping his mother had saved from the Oroville Weekly Gazette from 1945. After an article appeared in the Gazette-Tribune last November, Commander Wilson contacted Wilburn and the family and arranged to have the flag presented at a family reunion

the Saturday, Aug. 9 in Cashmere.

“Thank you so kind-ly for your instrumen-tal role played in the resolution of this now 69-year-old accidental deed,” said Wilburn after the military’s promise was final-ly fulfilled through Oroville’s American Legion Post.

Originally, the flag was to be given to the late Mr. and Mrs. Earl Thornton for their five children, all serving the country during wartime. Their children, Cpl. Oscar Thornton and Cpl. Ernie Thornton, were both in

Hundreds of rubber duckies - 493, according to the official count - are dumped from the Fourth Street Bridge as part of a fundraiser for the Tonasket City Swimming Pool project on Saturday, Aug. 23. The “race” ended at the boat ramp on the south end of Chief Tonasket Park, where the ducks were scooped out of the river after crossing the finish line. Inset, the ducks take flight.

MUSIC AND ART

The Tonasket Summer Festival - the festival formerly known as “Garlic” - encamped at History Park last Friday and Saturday.

Though attendance was about the same as last year, the park still fea-

tured loads of art for sale (as well as for kids to participate in, above), and musical entertainment nearly

on fines and setting up payment plans,” Denney added.

Councilman Naillon asked why the leak wasn’t discovered earlier and Supt. Noel said the home is used for vacations and is often unoccupied. He added that there have been several incidents of fro-zen pipes in the winter. He, along with the other council members wondered why the homeowner was seeking more in relief than the excess water charge.

“I suggest we handle it how we normally do and extend an offer to create a payment plan,” said Naillon.

Noel explained the homeowner did not have the water shut off in the winter because family mem-

bers would sometimes use the home at times other than the summer. The city offers one free

water turn on service one free turn off per year. If the home-owner wants more than they have to pay extra.

“I think paying a fee to have it

turned on and turned off depend-ing on whether they are going to use it is a lot cheaper than paying $350 for a month of water usage,” said Councilman Tony Koepke.

TAX REFUND DENIEDAfter very little discussion, the

mayor asked the council if they wanted to vote on a request from the Oroville Housing Authority for a refund of approximately $9000 in utility taxes the OHA says it was not obligated by state law to pay.

Councilman Hart made a motion to deny the refund and it was seconded by Councilwoman Neysa Roley and passed unani-mously.

THE GAZETTE-TRIBUNE

OKANOGAN – Elizabeth Anne KinKade, the Tonasket High School classified librari-an accused of five counts of sexual misconduct with an 18-year-old stu-dent, has pleaded guilty in Okanogan County Superior Court to one count of sexual miscon-duct with a minor and the court dismissed the other four.

KinKade, 37, Tonasket, was arrested May 20, 2014 for sexual misconduct with a minor after admitting to school officials, as well as police, that she had been having an affair with an 18-year-old Tonasket High School Student. Although the student was over 18 and the affair took place off school grounds, in the librarian’s home and her car, state law makes clear such conduct as a school employee is illegal.

Her employment with the school district was terminated

Wednesday, May 21, according to Superintendent Paul Turner.

“School employee/student relationships are based on the

trust that a student’s well-being is of utmost importance,” Turner said in a statement at the time. “When this trust is broken, it is the duty of the administra-tion and school board to react swiftly and directly.”

On May 19, Tonasket administration received substanti-ated evidence of misconduct by Mrs. KinKade. Mrs. KinKade, a classified librarian at Tonasket Middle/High School, was imme-diately put on administrative leave. A special board meeting was con-vened on May 21 to address this employee issue. Upon reviewing the evidence, the board voted unanimously to terminate Mrs. KinKade effective immediately.

According to the Tonasket Police Report, School Superintendent Paul Turner and

KinKade met Monday, May 19, with Kinkade’s union representa-tive present and she admitted to the affair.

On Tuesday, May 20, Officer Fuller questioned the student at the police station and he too admitted to the affair, saying the librarian and he had intercourse five times, all off school grounds. Fuller called Elizabeth KinKade to the police station where she made a statement, again admitting to the affair, which she said had been going on for one to two months.

At her arraignment in June KinKade had pleaded not guilty to all five counts.

Sentencing is forthcoming, pending a pre-sentencing inves-tigation done by the Washington State Department of Corrections.

Elizabeth KinKade

France at the time; Pvt. Preston Thornton was with the Merchant Marine in the Pacific, nurse Laura Thornton was in training at Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland and Verna Thornton was a Wave with the U.S. hospital staff in Jacksonville, Florida, according to the article which was sent to the Thorntons’ hometown news-paper.

Wilburn said the article was sent to his mother Verna Thornton in Jacksonville where she cared for burned Air Force

pilots that were returned from Europe.

From what his mother told him, her parents never received the flag promised in the article sent to the Gazette by the mil-itary. He said he had been in touch with local legislators with

the hope that the United States would make up for this oversight and make good on the prom-ise made to the Thornton family nearly seven decades ago. He said all the efforts were to no avail until a new article appeared in the family’s hometown newspaper.

Effie Lea Wilson, Jennie Luhn honored for decades of music at nursing homeBY BRENT [email protected]

TONASKET - Effie Lea Wilson found it impossible to say “no” to the sisters of the Spokane Dominican Order that at one time ran the Tonasket Nursing home.

Fifty years later, with the Sisters long gone and the nursing home known as North Valley Extended Care, she’s still saying “Yes,” and has brought others along for the ride.

Wilson was honored on Wednesday, Aug. 20, for the 50 years she has spent providing music and entertainment for the nursing home residents (as well as for her birthday).

Jennie Luhn, one-time admin-istrator of the nursing home, also received recognition for her 40 years serving alongside Wilson as her pianist.

These days, Wilson, Luhn, Bud McSpadden and a host of oth-ers put on monthly singalongs / birthday parties for the Extended Care residents.

After a half century, they show no signs of slowing down.

“Nora Kirchner had been com-ing down whenever the Catholic Sisters wanted her to,” Wilson said. “I did some of that. When Nora wasn’t able to do it any more, Lois Pratt called me up and she said, ‘We’re having a guild meeting that night and the Sisters are serving lemon pie.’ I said I didn’t belong to the guild, and she said, ‘Well yes you do now because when you agreed to do these parties you joined the guild.’

“From then on, the sister would call on a Saturday morn-ing or afternoon and say, (in her German accent), ‘Mrs. Wilson, wouldn’t it be nice if we have

party on Monday afternoon? You can give us entertainment.’

“I would start saying, but Sister, I work at the apple shed - and she’d say ‘See you’ and hang up. She didn’t realize that other peo-ple have a life.”

The Sisters pulled out of town about 10 years later; Jennie Luhn became the director once the nursing home became part of the newly-formed hospital district.

“That’s how I fell into it,” Luhn said. “I was the only one who played the piano. At the time the state was ... getting demanding

about providing activities. In the old days they didn’t have activi-ties in the nursing home.

“We did this, and we started a little church service. We developed the activities program by ear; we didn’t have money to do much.”

“I didn’t have a pianist at the time,” Wilson said. “I just did things a capella and used a pia-nist whenever I could find one. Jennie started coming and sing-ing, or playing the hymns for us and would stay as long as she could before she had to go back to her office.

“Jennie and I have been togeth-er for a long time. We used to a lot of funerals, and did programs for the Kiwanis and the Grange. We didn’t practice or anything. We just talked about it on the telephone, went and did it.”

Bud McSpadden - who has fre-quently accompanied the ladies on his guitar for the past 25 years and arranged Wednesday’s cel-ebration - often brightens things up with his off-beat antics. That included dressing up as the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion of Wizard of Oz fame while belting

out “If I Only Had a Brain,” to the residents’ delight.

Wilson said the first time he did something “outlandish” she hadn’t been expecting it. Now, it’s just part of what everyone antici-pates as part of the show.

“Since that first time,” she said, “I’ve gotten used to Bud and his antics.”

“But I haven’t gotten them in trouble,” McSpadden said. “Like the time Effie Lea had belly danc-ers come and just about got us all run out of town.”

Others that frequently take part in the “show” include Gloria Jones, Betty Holmes, Brock Hires and others.

“It all just goes together,” Wilson said when asked about favorite memories. “Getting kids like Brock started, I enjoy that. He was like two years old the first time he played, with a homemade

guitar his grandpa had carved for him. He was playing in their orchestra. I remember the first time someone asked for his auto-graph; he didn’t know what to do.”

Luhn said she looks up to her longtime friend.

“She knows all the old songs from the First World War,” she said. “It’s amazing what she has in her collection; plus she remem-bers poetry. She’s had a lot of tragedies in her life but she’s a very optimistic and positive per-son. It’s been an inspiration to be her friend for this many years. She’s a great example.”

Though both are in their early 80s and have been around longer than many of the residents, nei-ther has any plans to stop singing and serving.

Said Effie Lea Wilson: “You get started; you can’t stop, can you?”

Time can be compressedDear Gary,

About last week. Air is invisible – like time. We watch time blow by like the wind. We can’t see it, but we can feel it. Take 24 ounces of air and compress it into 16 ounces of air. Same amount of air in a smaller space.

The same is possible with time. It can be

compressed from 24 hours to 16 hours – 24 old hours into 16 new hours. It’s still 24 hours and we wouldn’t notice the difference – except for our inner clock. We wouldn’t talk like chipmunks or walk like quail. Time is relative. God is mysterious. And all powerful.

Almost everyone has noticed time flying by, even kids. I’ve asked some I don’t know.

Revelations 8:12 has always stumped me. Then a light came on, or off if you will. It’s

a simple math equation. One-third of a day is eight hours. It’s been “smitten” or “struck” out of existence. Mark 13:20 seems to agree.

To the scoffers and skeptics out there, I’m not saying I’m right. It’s a theory. Call me nutty, looney, loco, whatever. Just please don’t call me anything hateful.

And sorry to the folks whyo don’t like my name for G.W.B. He should have been nicknames Dupeya. So many people were fooled. Many still are. Why? A lot of people can’t admit they were wrong. It’s not in their nature. Maybe they feel they would belittle themselves. Show weakness. Embarrassment.

Admitting your mistakes is one of the most important things a good soul can do. It’s not weak or embarrassing or belittling. It’s a weight off your back. A relief. A pleasure.

When a hear grows cold and the mind turns to stone, it shows the true character of the bearer of those two most feeling, reasoning, responsive organs in the human frame.

Be true to yourself. It may just help in the upcoming selection.

Back to back,Dan DixonOroville

P.S. My step-brother Adis Steele was in the Class of ‘79 also I believe. He has passed, like the others, just a year ago. Sorry isn’t the word when a deep early loss hits home. Love will heal. Fred would want it.

This week you’ll see we’ve included our annual special sec-tion celebrating the Okanogan

County Fair and some of our local kids who participate by exhibit-ing their animals.

W h i l e in the past I’ve had a chance to write about g o a t s , cows, pigs and horses – this year,

like last, I seem to find chickens to be the chosen breed, at least in Oroville and it looks like I could have got in on some of those farm fresh eggs. Although I grew up in Oroville, I was never a farm kid and missed out on par-ticipating from that end of things. When I look at how much these kids enjoy what they’re doing, despite how much hard work and dedica-tion it takes to raise, and train, a chicken, let alone a hog or a horse, I truly think I did miss out. However, w i t h c h i c k e n coops in town, it looks like my brothers and I could have raised our own ani-mals – from what I know of my dad and his opin-ions of chick-ens, though, we might have had

to stick to something else, like rabbits. I think he got enough of chickens when he was a kid.

Fair time in Okanogan County is a special time – I’ve great memories of attending the fair, although Oroville didn’t get out of school like Tonasket does. As a kid it seems like I’d usually catch a ride down with a family that was more farm orientated. There is so much to see and do – it’s like the whole county comes together for those few days and forms a family. Even with some fierce competition for ribbons going on between towns. Fair time is one of the few times we see people from all the towns – Oroville, Tonasket, Omak, Okanogan, Pateros, Brewster,

Coulee Dam, Winthrop and Twisp – well you get the

idea - those places and everything in between, coming together for a truly county event.

We need to encour-age our county com-

missioners to con-tinue their sup-

port of our fair as it truly has something for everyone and shows that we can be one county.

The G-T invites you to look

o v e r o u r special section

and read about the

kids who h a v e put in all the h a r d

w o r k , as well as

the sched-ule of events

and our story on what’s new at your

county fair.

THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF OROVILLE & TONASKET

GAZETTE-TRIBUNESERVING WASHINGTON’S OKANOGAN VALLEY SINCE 1905

Washington Newspaper Publishers Association member

The Oroville Gazette,

75 Years Ago: August 18 - 25, 1939: Fire conditions

are now extremely hazardous, according to Mr. Huff, Supervisor of the Colville National Forest. He appeals to the public to take precautionary to prevent forest fires. He states that defective exhaust on automo-biles, un-extinguished matches or cigarettes carelessly thrown away and un-extinguished campfires which have figured in many of the recent fires. Progress made by western farmers in bringing modern equipment to rural communities. Included among the advances made possible by farm electrifica-tion are the walk in refrigerators now being installed in many local farms, as well as the poultry lighting projects. According to L. A. Gillespie, one of the owners of the Osoyoos Theater (in Oroville), complete new air conditioning system is now being installed. It is expected to be ready for operation by Sept. 1 and when completed will be the best air cooling system north of Wenatchee. The Okanogan County Fair, which will be held at the county fair grounds in Oroville on Sept. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, will be one of the most interesting ever according to reports made by the committees. The old time parade, which will be held through the streets of Oroville, Sunday and Monday afternoons with cowboys, cowgirls, old time stages, pack horses, miners and Indians in full dress. The huge grandstand, with a seating capacity of several thousand people, has one of the most beautiful settings of any fairgrounds in the west. Facing Lake Osoyoos with a back-ground of mountains, a fast three-eighths mile race track in full view. The home stretch passing directly in front of the grandstand with the rodeo grounds within the circle of the track. NOTE: (This is the present location of the Oroville Veterans Memorial Park). A raging forest and grass fire swept a path from one to two miles wide and ten miles long across Palmer Mountain on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of this week and is sill burning, although more or less under control.

The Gazette-Tribune

25 Years Ago:August 17 -31, 1989: George Mathes,

long time Tonasket resident, is shown in front of his Fruit Stand north of Tonasket on Highway 97. The Mathes run the stand on the honor system, as the sign often says “Put money in the jar and make your own change.” A sign of the times. A fire in the Whitestone Lake area was declared 100 percent contained as of last Tuesday morning. The fire burned a total of 150 acres and required over 50 men and fire retardant aircraft to bring it under control. The Tonasket Airport has undergone a transformation from what councilman Tom Fancher described as a one-time cattle trail to a viable airport. The airport, which has been closed for about five years, began its improve-ment through the aid of the Washington State Department of Transportation-Aeronautics Division. Oroville’s own Steve Blackler took a gold medal in the water skiing events of last weekend’s Washington State Summer Centennial games held in Spokane. Blackler, who was one of only 16 skiers in the state to classify for the Class III Waterskiing Division, beat out the large field to bring home the gold. Bill Nicholson, of Oroville, was instrumen-tal in organizing the only event in the recent Centennial Games to include participants that live outside of Washington. That event being an amputee soccer tournament that included three teams of one-legged soccer players from Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, Canada. The Okanogan County Pioneer Picnic, one of the longest running traditions in this county, will be held at Conconully on Labor Day, Sept. 4, 1989. The annual picnic gets underway at the state park with registra-tion a 10 a.m. Each year, hundreds of people throughout Okanogan County and many other states come to attend the affair. Real Estate:3 bdrm brick home, 1 bath, fireplace, wood shake roof, metal storage shed on .58 acres land, located on Jennings Loup Rd., Oroville, $27,000.00; 2 bdrm home in good condition, electric heat, central air, new roof, lots of fruit trees and berries, great garden spot, double car garage, fenced, $45,000.

Gary A. DeVon


OKANOGAN VALLEY LIFE

Now that we’re back down to two digit numbers in our temperature read-ings, maybe we’ll get a little more ener-gy… maybe.

Once again we have condolences to send out. What started out as fun times for Fred Cook ended in tragedy, last weekend, with the one car accident that took his life. He was well known in both the Tonasket and Oroville areas, as the “pump fixer” and other irrigation needs. Also Geneva Reeder, well known in both communities will be missed by many friends, has passed away.

A Memorial for Velma (Colbert) Hill will be held at the Assembly of God

Church, Saturday, Sept. 6, 11 a.m. The report on Mark Gordon is, that

he is improving, after being cared for in Sacred Heart Hospital, with one of the last steps, being his receiving a pace-maker. He is now home, infections are less and now the healing process will take over.

Some members of the Ken Ripley family enjoyed last week at their get-away home at Lost Lake. Lots of mem-ories are made as they continue the tradition that was started by Alden and Gertrude Sawtells, Judy’s parents.

Lunch was served at the Red Lion Inn, Wenatchee, recently, for members

of classes of ’42 thru ’44, with Clyde and Everett Green, Al and Mary Alice Robinson, Richard Henneman and his friend, Ruth, and Clayton and Boots Emry attending. Just so you don’t have to do the math, these folks graduated over 70 years ago.

Marlene Dietrich said, “Careful grooming may take 20 years off your age, but you can’t fool a long flight of stairs!

There will be another pancake break-fast at the Oroville Senior Center, Saturday, Sept. 13, with serving starting at 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

All of us should take a lesson from the

weather. It pays no attention to criticism!A cowboy took his car to the repair

shop and asked for estimates on the repairs. Well, said the mechanic, “if your car was a horse I’d shoot it.”

The Red Cross is com-ing! With blood drawing from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 3 at the United Methodist Church, 908 Fir St.

Ah! Fresh peaches! I think I’d better buy some extra ice cream. And since friends were extra generous, maybe I’ll get ambitious and make a pie.

A Memorial Service will be held for Dale Ward, Tonasket, on Saturday, Aug. 30, at the United Methodist Church, Oroville, where he and his wife, Pat, had

been members for many years.Doris Hughes was a happy mom last

Sunday when her two daughters, Debbie and Karen, were home, for a chit chat. And I’ll bet they went home with a bunch of garden veggies, outta’ Mom’s wonderful garden.

Do you like to look at lots of pretty quilts? Then, remember to go to the Molson Grange Hall this Saturday, Aug. 30 for their quilt show and other interesting demonstrations on crafts, hobbies etc. It sounds like a fun day!

The talked of beer garden at the Okanogan County Fair has been put on the back burner, at least for this year. In my

opinion, Good Move! ‘Til next week.

Time for some fresh peaches

Honoring SPC Bud SwensonSUBMITTED BY DARALYN HOLLENBECKPRESIDENT, NCW BLUE STAR MOTHERS

For the month of August we are honoring Army Heavy Equipment Mechanic / Operator Specialist Bud Swenson. His mother Karin is a Blue Star Mother who has two Army sons: Bud and his brother, Beau.

Born in December of 1990, Bud graduated from Oroville High School with the Class of 2009. He then joined the Army and has been stationed in Fort Polk since May 2011. Fort Polk is an United States Army†installation located in West Central Louisiana named after Reverend Leonidas Polk, who served as a Confederate gen-eral during the Civil War. The base houses and trains approxi-mately 11,000 infantry troops ready for deployment.

Bud and his wife, Marina, are the proud parents of newborn

daughter Abi. Bud will discharge from the Army in two weeks - on Sept 11 - and will be moving back to his hometown of Chesaw. Bud plans to further his educa-tion via the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act (often referred to as the ìG.I. Billî) but will determine where and when after he settles in back home.

The term “G.I” originally referred to the plentiful ìgalva-nized ironî used by the military during WWI and soon became synonymous with ìGeneral or Government Issueî. During WWII the initials were used for anything that belonged to the military. Soldiers and Airmen began to sardonically refer to themselves as “G.I.” = “General Issue” items, all equally as dis-posable as helmets, boots, tents, canteens, rifles, jeeps, trucks, tanks, and combat aircraft. They viewed themselves as being

“General Issue” items of Uncle Sam thus ìG.I. Joeî.

We thank you and your fam-ily for your service, Bud! Your hometown of Chesaw and the Valley is proud of you! We would like to learn more about our area’s service men and women. Please contact us with details 509-485-2906 or [email protected].

Hot August Nights and Quilt ShowSUBMITTED BY MARIANNE KNIGHTHIGHLANDS CORRESPONDENT

It was a busy week for some of us on our Hilltop this past week. The Highland Hooters met at the Boneparte Café for lunch. The day was beautiful and there were 18 Red Hat Ladies around the big table. We all had a great visit with others and of course a good lunch.

That was Monday. On Tuesday several of the ladies from the Chesaw Community Bible Church met and learned some-thing about Sour Dough Bread Making and each of us went home with a “Starter”. A good lesson learned in transporting the starter. Do NOT add the new flour and water and shake to mix and then put it in your warm car and leave for a couple of hours. I know, don’t -- we are still scrap-ing dough from in the back seat.

Wednesday was another busy morning as we had our second lesson in China Painting a Coffee Mug. Besides learning how, we are having a good time, we are getting to know each other a bit more.

This Coming Weekend will be a very busy time on our Hilltop with the Quilt Show in Molson on Saturday, Aug 30, from 9 a.m.

to 3 p.m. at the Grange Hall. This is the third annual show spon-sored by the Highland Stitchers. This years Quilts will be donated to Morning Sun Ministries. There will be food available in the form of Pulled Pork Sandwiches or Taco Salad, a drink and a cookie. Sounds good to me. There will be demonstrations on making your own fabric with shaving cream and ink at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. At 2 p.m. there will be Crochet, Knitting and Crocheting a rag rug. Quilts will be on display for your viewing pleasure and others for sale. You can display your quilt just contact Vicky Didenhover at 509-485 3020 for information.

There will be a “Quilt Raffle” and tickets will be available for $1 each or six for $5. Those drawn need not be present to win.

There will be a big flea mar-ket at Fiona in Chesaw on this Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 30 and 31, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the weekend of ‘Hot August Nights’ up in the highlands. Come up and see beautifully restored cars and trucks, and take home a treasure from several flea market vendors. Good food awaits you at the tav-ern, and espresso at Fiona.

The 5th Annual Hot August

Nights Classic Car Show will also be held on Aug. 30. Registration starts at 9 a.m. at the Chesaw Mercantile and is $15. The Awards Presentation will begin at 2 p.m. Awards for all vehicle Categories will be determined by Spectator Ballot. The Big Raffle will start at noon. Prizes include a $300 exhaust system and a front end alignment. Free Camping is available. Food and drink vend-ers are welcome, at no fee.

Country Music at the Chesaw Tavern can be heard on Friday night, Aug 29.

FINANCIAL FOCUSSandra Rasmussen

On Sept. 8, we observe National Grandparents Day. If you have grandchildren, they will hopefully mark this occasion by sending a card, making a call or, best of all, paying a visit. But however your grandchildren express their feel-ings for you, you undoubtedly have a very big place in your heart for them. In fact, you may well be plan-ning on including your grandchil-dren in your estate plan. If that’s the case, you’ll want to do the best you can to preserve the size of your es-tate — without sacrifi cing the abil-ity to enjoy life during your retire-ment years.

Here are a few suggestions to help you achieve this “balancing act”:

Expect market volatility — and don’t overreact. If you’ve been in-vesting for a while, you know that volatility in the fi nancial markets

Make the Right Moves to Leave a Legacy to Grandchildrenis normal. In fact, it’s not unusual for the market to drop 10%, or even more, in a year. Try not to overreact to this type of volatility. For example, don’t immediately sell investments just because they’ve had a down year — they may well bounce back the next year, especially if their funda-mentals are still strong.

Diversify. It’s always a good idea to diversify across a range of invest-ment vehicles — stocks, bonds, gov-ernment securities, certifi cates of deposit (CDs) and so on. While di-versifi cation can’t guarantee a profi t or protect against loss, it can help re-duce the eff ects of volatility on your portfolio.

Maintain a cash cushion. During your retirement years, you may face unexpected expenses, just as you did when you were working. To help pay for these expenses without be-ing forced to dip into your long-term investments, try to maintain a “cash cushion” that’s suffi cient to cover six to 12 months’ worth of living ex-penses.

Limit withdrawals from your in-vestments. To keep your investment portfolio intact for as long as pos-sible, set limits on your annual with-drawals. Your withdrawal rate should be based on a variety of factors — age at retirement, other sources of in-come, lifestyle choices, etc. A fi nan-cial advisor can help you calculate a

withdrawal rate that makes sense for your situation.

Delay your generosity. It can be tempting to provide for your grand-children — and perhaps even your grown children — as soon as you can. But you need to balance this impulse with the fi nancial challenges that two or three decades of retirement can bring. It’s not being “selfi sh” to take care of yourself fi rst — in fact, by doing everything possible to remain fi nancially independent, you will be helping your family in the long run.

Don’t delay creating your estate plan. If you are committed to leav-ing a generous legacy for your grand-children, you need a comprehensive estate plan. And it’s best to create this plan as soon as possible, while you are mentally and physically healthy. You may never become incapaci-tated, of course, but the future is not ours to see. In addition to starting early with your estate plan, you’ll need to assemble the right team, in-cluding your fi nancial advisor, legal professional and tax expert.

You might enjoy receiving attention on National Grandparents Day. But you’ll get even greater pleasure out of knowing that you’re maximizing your eff orts to leave the type of leg-acy you want for your grandchildren — while still enjoying the retirement lifestyle you desire.

The Torres family attended the first local Child Car Seat Safety Check sponsored by Oroville Emergency Services and the Royal Neighbors of America. EMTs and Child Passenger Safety Technicians, Jackie Daniels and Theresa Remsberg from AeroMethow, checked to see that car seats had not expired, been recalled, had no broken parts and were installed properly. This service is free to members of the community. For information call Jackie Daniels at 509-560-3589 if you are interested in having your child’s car seat checked. There is nothing as precious as keeping our children safe when in an automobile.

FRED WILLIAM COOK

Fred William Cook was born in Tonasket, Wash. on November 7, 1960 to Howard P. Cook and Eva B. Spangler.

Fred was known by many names: Uncle Fred, Freddie Crocker, Fast Freddie, Freddie the Toolman to name a few. He was a one of a kind guy. Fred made fun happen, from what we called Okanogan style golf (from our yard into the orchards) to always having something with wheels for our kids and many other kids to play and ride on when at our house, making bow and arrows out of sticks and strings just last month for a couple of our friend’s grandchildren. It was never bor-ing when hanging out with Fred – he was inventive and adven-turous, always busy. He worked hard and played hard. Like his dad, Fred also had an awesome talent in welding and creating things like a dinosaur, an alien and spaceship, a robot man and a teradactyl, to name a few… and a train he built with close friends one winter. Fred built his first boom truck out of a 1972 Chevy – he also built his boom on it.

Fred started walking at the age of eight months and never slowed down… His smile was infectious and he always lent a helping hand.

He began working as a child, helping his father in any task at the time. He worked in orchards as a teenager. He worked at a local apple shed. He pumped gas at a station in Oroville. About the age of 21, he started working for Nulton’s Irrigation and was there until he started his own business at the age of 32.

In 1993, Fred started his own business called Cooks Cutting Edge Inc., an irrigation and water pump business. Any type of water problem – Fred could figure it out! From installing and repairing pumps, lawn systems, orchard irrigation and not to mention any type of plumbing problem: he carried both plumb-ing and electrical licenses! He was a dedicated man to his pro-fession and to anyone’s need for anything.

Also, from a boy under his father’s guide and all through his life he mastered mechanics. Like his father Howard, whom Fred admired deeply, their motto was “that if it’s been made or done once, it can be done again.” Fred loved a challenge, and would hardly rest until he figured out whatever was in front of him. It was normal for him to work 10-14 hour days; dinner time was never easy to plan.

Fred had a big heart too…if someone needed help in most any way he was out the door day or night to help them.

Fred had lived in Tonasket and Oroville most all of his life and has had many life long friends which he enjoyed so much. He graduated in Oroville, the class of 1979 and had kept strong friend-ships with them.

Fred had so many characters... FUN & smiling, goofy, humor-ous, awesome, kind and loving, caring, curious, creative, non-judgmental, joyful, helpful… this man amplified life and joy!

Fun times were going to the beaches, both at the ocean and our local lakes. He enjoyed canoeing, fishing, camping, rock music & dancing, road trips... but most of all his family.

Fred was preceded in death by his father, one sister, and one brother.

He is survived by his wife Jessie, mother Eva, daughters Nikki and Kayla, son Wayne Rieb, grandson Khai, sisters Ann Cook, Kathy Bendickson (Dennis), brothers Jim Cook, Steve Cook (Teri), and many numerous nieces, nephews, cous-ins and friends.

Services will be held Saturday, August 30, 2014 at 11 a.m. at the Loomis Community Church, Loomis, Wash. with Pastor Bob Haskell officiating. Please make sure to see his slide show as we will leave it running as long as possible. A potluck is to fol-

low and please feel free to wear Hawaiian shirts, dresses, ban-danas….

There will be a private family burial at a later date at the Loomis Mountain View Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Loomis Community Church.

In comfort know these things: He asked Jesus into his life sev-eral years ago…He had a great time with his classmates those last hours… He did not suffer… He is now finally resting.

GENEVA REEDERGeneva (Howard) Reeder died

peacefully at home on August 19, 2014 of cancer. Had Geneva lived one more day, she would have died exactly 41 years after her husband (Johnny Reeder) had passed away. By her side was her “one and only” son (Terry W. Reeder) and her niece, Tanya.

Geneva was born May 2, 1936 in Japton, Arkansas and moved to Omak, Wash in the early 1940’s. Geneva married Johnny Reeder of Loomis, Wash. in 1955 and they had one child, Terry. Over the years, Geneva worked at Regal Fruit in Tonasket and drove the Tonasket Senior Citizens bus. She also managed sever-al apartments in Tonasket and was the manager of the Hillside Apartments since 1994.

After her son joined the US Army in 1982, she enjoyed “going to auctions, yard sales, & buying antiques.” Geneva had an “extensive” collection of “stuff” before her death, which she so “graciously” left to her “one and only” son to manage.

Geneva is survived by her son Terry & daughter-in-law Regina of El Paso, Texas; grand daugh-ters Abigail, Haley, and Melody; grandson TJ; brothers James, Don, Ron and Mike Howard; great grand daughters Bella and Mia; numerous nieces and neph-ews and many friends.

Geneva was preceded in death by her parents James and Mae, brother Marion Howard, sisters Norma Jean Townsend, Bernice Howard and Glenda Wells and her husband Johnny W. Reeder.

The family would like to thank hospice for their support during the last weeks of her life, espe-cially Cory and Kayla.

A memorial service will be held August 29, 2014 at 11 a.m. at the Tonasket Fraternal Order of Eagles.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the American Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.

MARIAN KATHERINE

(WYATT) GORDON

Marian Katherine (Wyatt) Gordon died peacefully on the eve of a Super Moon at Spokane Hospice House on August 9, 2014 with her family at her side. She was the first born of four chil-dren to Frank Marion and Erna H. (Steg) Wyatt on September 26, 1921 in Sandpoint, Idaho.

She grew up with her two younger brothers and sister and an extended family of many cousins in Sandpoint where she graduated in the class of 1939.

She received her teaching cer-tificate from Lewis and Clark Normal School in Lewiston, Idaho in 1941. She taught all elementary grades except first, in Kootenai and Worley, Idaho (1941-1945) as well as St. John, Wash. between 1945-1948. While teaching in Worley, Marian met Evelyn Dull (now of Oroville) who was teaching in Worley as well.

She married Alvin Gordon in 1948 in Spokane where they made their home and raised five children. Her parents, Frank and Erna moved to Oroville in 1948 where they were apple orchard-ists until late in their lives. For several decades, summer breaks and holidays were spent by Marian’s family in Oroville. Her children took swimming lessons and learned to swim in Lake Osoyoos.

She was a member of the American Legion post in Oroville, as her father, Frank served in the Army (WWI) and brother Walt served in the Navy during WWII. She was an involved parent in her children’s schools, and a Cub Scout as well as Campfire leader. Her home in Spokane, was a base for the neighborhood and later Gonzaga University student friends of her children. She aptly called her kitchen “Grand Central Station.” From her German grandmother, Bertha Steg and her mother Erna, she carried on the tradition of graciously “adding another plate to the table” when anyone arrived at meal time.

She was a calm leader of women who could gracefully smooth out any discord and bring a group to consensus. She was president of many Catholic wom-en’s organizations. She enjoyed bridge, gardening, as well as golf with the Wandermere Nine Holers. Her famous pecan rolls were treasured by many and were sent on several occasions to her son-in-law, John while stationed with the Army in Korea. She trav-eled to Alaska, Hawaii, Europe – with her mother Erna, and Puerto Rico. All of her life she was a teacher, displaying patience, curi-osity, joy in discovery, a generous spirit, humor, and facilitator of growth of groups of all ages.

She was preceded in death by her husband Al (1980), son John (1974), brothers Frank and Walter Wyatt, as well as her parents. She is survived by her children, Maureen Shogan (Joe) Spokane, Wash., Denise Dhane (John) Steilacoom, Wash.; Mark (Kathy) Omak, Wash. and Jamie, Spokane, her sister Joanne Whiteaker (Clyde) Oroville. Grandchildren, John Gordon (Sarah) - Oroville, Beau Dhane, Dallas. Texas, Chris Shogan (Julie) - Spokane, Sarah Dhane, Austin, Texas, Katie Turner (Shad) Tonasket, Wash. and Stephen Shogan, San Francisco, Calif., three great grandchildren and numerous nieces and neph-ews and her cousin John Steg’s wife, Betty (Oroville).

Funeral Mass was held on August 16, 2014 at St. Aloysius Catholic Church – Spokane, Wash.

DALE ELDON WARD

Dale Eldon Ward, age 85, of Tonasket died on Saturday June 21, 2014 following many years of heart problems and a stroke in 2002. He was born August 21, 1928, in Eagle City, Oklahoma to parents Harold and Myrtle Ward. He moved with family from Oklahoma to California when he was thirteen. During World War II, when he was 15, he travelled with his father combining wheat in parts of Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas.

Dale had a paper route and worked at two theaters in Orange County, California. He rode his bicycle, transporting money from one theater to the other. He often remarked “You couldn’t do that today.”

Dale worked for 38 years at Pacific Valve, Inc. in Long Beach, California. On February 12, 1950

he married his wife Pat at the First Methodist Church in Garden Grove, CA. Their daughter Merrie Dale was born in 1951 and she preceded him in death in 1970.

Dale was active in the 20/30 club, served as a coach for ball teams and attended Indian Guides as a father to his two sons, Dennis and Jeff. He was a loving and caring father. In 1984, he and Pat moved to Tonasket where they were busy building their home. They were involved with their

grandchildren, Clover and Jay. Dale assisted his wife later when she did Girl Scouts. He would do the laundry while Pat worked with the children and worked at school. When Jeff married Cora in 1997, they acquired two more grandchil-dren, Mike and Crystal. Dale was a loving and caring grandfather and will be missed by many. He was a member of the Oroville United Methodist Church.

Dale is survived by his wife Pat; sister Jean (Chuck) Gibo of

Garden Grove, California; sister-in-law Ginger Ward of Havasu City, Arizona; sons Jeff (Cora) and Dennis of Tonasket; four grand-children and one great grandchild.

Memorial Services will be held Saturday, August 30, 2014 11:00 a.m. at the Oroville United Methodist Church with Pastor Leon Alden, officiating. Memorials may be made to Oroville United Methodist Church. Bergh Funeral Service of Oroville/Tonasket in care of arrangements.
