By Erick PetersonDays after the Zillah High boys

capped off their undefeated basketball season with a state championship, players were still abuzz with excite-ment.

“Actually, the whole school and the entire community of Zillah is floating on air,” according to Rock Winters, Zillah High School athletic director.

Zillah put the final touches on a picture-perfect season over the week-end, knocking off King’s 52-46 to take the state Class 1A crown.

That was the 27th straight win this year for the Leopards as they com-pleted a perfect season.

Brady Widner, who scored 21 points in the championship game for the Zillah boys, was named the state tournament’s Most Valuable Player.

The win was especially sweet for Zillah since the Leopards had made the state finals in 2011 and 2012 only to be knocked off, finishing second. But this time it was the Leopards’ turn to celebrate at the SunDome in Yakima.

The school had a celebratory assembly in the gym on the Monday morning following the champion-ship, and was planning a commu-nity celebration in the Zillah Mid-dle School Gym on the following Wednesday.

He said that town pride was at its height following the state title. Winters praised community residents for supporting the team, and he spoke highly of cheer and band members

who also rooted the Leopards on to each of their victories.

“Something like this is very special,” he said.

“Everyone goes into the season with this as their goal. It never happens, but it happened this year, and they deserve it.”

Doug Burge, head basketball coach, stands at the top of the most worthy celebrants, according to Winters.

“This val-idates every-thing he does,” Winters said. “He’s just the best coach in the state.”

He credited Burge for doing all the little things that make for an excellent coach. He works hard and is pro-fessional. Most of all, Winters said, Burge treats his players fairly and with kindness. At the same time, he is demanding and expects excellence.

He credits Burge for creating teams that compete at a high level year in and year out.

“Kids love playing for him,” he said.

Still, supportive coaching and community love can only push a team so far, he said. The kids are the ones who battled on the court and achieved at the highest level possible.

By Erick PetersonAll too often, big government

does not understand communities like ours, according to Dan New-house, former Washington State Department of Agriculture director.

He said that he wants to take local insights and values to Washington, D.C., as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Newhouse is one of several local politicians who announced their can-didacy following Rep. Doc Hastings’ announcement that he would retire at the end of the year and not seek reelection.

A lifelong farmer, with history in state government, Newhouse said that his priorities include repealing national health-care legislation, maintaining the Hanford cleanup project and preserving dams.

“Those are some of the issues that I see as being important to people in Central Washington,” he said.

He added that he wishes to in-crease the amount of water available to this area, not just of farms but also for industry.

And he hopes to help the nation-al government “get a handle on its financial house.”

“The size of the debt and deficit both continue to grow at unsustain-able levels,” he said. “It almost be-comes cliché but we are mortgaging our children’s and grandchildren’s future. That’s the road we’re heading down, and I think that’s a dangerous place for us to be. We’ve got to make changes in the ways we spend money and make it match the money we bring in.”

He said that his farming back-ground is “very influential” to his goals for the country — so much so, in fact, that his politics are a natu-ral extension of his experience as a farmer.

As a farmer and a resident of the Yakima Valley, he said that he under-stands the needs of this area, both the needs of farmers and those outside the ag industry.

“In my opinion, that’s not a bad thing,” he said.

“Central Washington is the center of agriculture in a lot of ways for the state of Washington. Agriculture is a huge part of our economy from north to south. I see that as an asset.”

He said that, being that Central Washington agriculture is largely an export market, he would like to find new ways to increase trade nation-ally and internationally and create new opportunities for agricultural products, thereby creating wealth and jobs locally.

“Our broken immigration policy” is also on Newhouse’s mind, and he wants “clear solutions” that will both secure America’s borders and provide much-needed labor.

He said that solutions are likely to be difficult. Legislators will have trouble with a great many other is-

sues in the months and years to come. Still, he expressed a willingness to take on those struggles.

“The reality is that some of these things that are important to us in Central Washington, things that we believe are necessary for our way of life, frankly are not widely held in other parts of the country,” he said.

The people of urban areas, he said, do not see eye-to-eye with rural Cen-

tral Washington. A former state legislator, he said that he is eager to undertake the challenge of pushing rural priorities.

He was not so eager, however, that he wanted to approach Hastings about an endorsement. In the immediate weeks follow-ing Hastings’ retirement

announcement, Newhouse did not contact Hastings.

“I felt that it’d be best to give him

his space at first,” Newhouse said. “It was kind of his time, and I didn’t want to take away from that at all.”

He expects to contact Hastings at some point and get his perspec-tive on issues and politics, but he acknowledged that an endorsement might not come right away.

“I fully understand in what is likely to be a crowded Republican primary that Doc will probably sit on the side for most of the campaign,” he said. “I fully understand that.”

Opinion

By Frank EastI watched a video by Ken Davis,

a Christian comedian, called “Ful-ly Alive.” He shares a true story where he had taken his granddaugh-

ter on a camping trip high in the mountains.

One after-noon he was going out to collect fire-wood where he allowed his granddaughter to accompany

him for a short distance. Before loosing sight of the campsite, he told her she better return before the trek became too difficult.

On the way back, the little girl decided she would rather be with her grandpa, so she set out to find him. In the process she became lost.

This set off a search with many authorities involved. After several hours of searching Ken in his fran-tic state says he fell to his knees begging God to take him and not her.

Around this time, in another area, where they had neglected to search, a teacher who was out hiking came across this little girl sitting on a rock.

She informed the teacher that her grandfather was lost.

When Ken found his way back to the camp he saw his beautiful granddaughter and ran toward her to collect her into his arms and held

her close. There were no words of chastisement, no angry gestures, only love existed there.

Luke 15 tells of three stories where something or someone became lost. The end result of each story is once it or he was found, there was great joy. Jesus said in Luke 19:10 “That He came to seek and save that which was lost.”

The reference is about those who have lost their way in life. They have become a lost soul. In the first two stories of Luke 15, there is a great search to find that which was lost. This tells us when we are lost, God doesn’t give up on us but keeps calling after us until we are found and reunited with Him.

The last story is about a young man who chose to get lost in the world through reckless living. After becoming tired of this lost state he returned home to the waiting loving arms of his father.

Again, no words of chastisement, no angry gestures, no longer a lost state, only love existed here.

If you are in this lost state there is a Heavenly Father who is looking for you to return home. His Son lit-erally died that you could be found.

He exhanged the life of His Son so you could have life with Him. (John 3:16, Romans 6:23).

Be found in a Bible-believing church this coming weekend.

PCM Review Independent WA 1/4 pg.indd 1 11/11/13 1:39 PM

By Erick PetersonToppenish School District Super-

intendent John Cerna wants the pub-lic to know that a recent $6.9 million settlement to the family of an injured infant will not disrupt programs at any Toppenish schools.

The injury occurred in 2007, as Sophia Sanchez fell through an 8.5-inch gap in the bleachers at A.C. Meagher Field at Toppenish Middle School. The child fell several feet to the ground, hitting her head on the concrete below.

Sanchez was in the hospital for a month, and she still suffers seri-ous medical issues, such as limited mobility and control over her bowel and bladder.

Doctors expect that she will spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair and will need constant care.

“It’s a tragedy,” Cerna said. But with the settlement reached and ap-proved by Yakima County Superior Court, he is now reassuring people that local schools will not be dimin-ished.

“It’s not going to impact the district, hardly any, at least in terms of funding,” he said. He said that not a single program will be cut nor will anyone be laid off.

“School districts have really good insurance,” he said, “and the total cost will be covered by our insurance company.”

He said that the Toppenish School District would only be responsible for its $10,000 deductible, a cost it has been prepared to pay for several years.

According to Cerna, this case was mostly a concern of the insurance company, which would be respon-

sible for damages to the young girl if a court decided that the school was at all in the wrong.

The insurance company settled, thereby managing to keep this case from reaching court.

“I think that a lot of people think that this came out of district coffers,” he said. “They don’t understand how this works, because it didn’t come out of our coffers. The insurance company paid for it.”

He said that the district was pro-tected with a $20 million umbrella. The only people to feel bad for, he said, are the girl and her family.

“This was really unfortunate,” he said.

As superintendent, he said that he does not want to see children get hurt, especially at one of his schools. The bleachers where Sanchez was

hur, stood for 50 years without incident. When changes were made to standards in 2004, the district was not aware that the bleachers needed to be changed.

The bleachers were removed in

February, he said. They will be re-placed with compliant bleachers that meet international standards in May.

According to Cerna, all other district bleachers already meet those standards.

The Toppenish School District will not be disrupted by a $6.9 million settlement to the family of an injured infant, according to Superintendent John Cerna.

Settlement Won’t Damage Toppenish School Programs

Young Local Boxer Is Ready For National Vegas Event

Hiram Cantu of Round Three Boxing Club trains Washington State Golden Gloves winner Jonny Rubio, who will fight in Las Vegas on March 13. Rubio is 17 years old and a senior at Toppenish High School.

By Erick PetersonJonny Rubio, 17-year-old Toppe-

nish High School student, said that he was training harder than ever in anticipation of boxing in the National Golden Gloves Championships, start-ing March 13 in Las Vegas.

Golden-glove winner on the state level, he became eligible to join the contingent of Washington state boxers who will fight in the competition.

Sporting a record of 6-2, with his latest wins in Tacoma at the 66th Annual Washington State Golden Gloves Championship, he admits that he doesn’t have much experience. As such, he is at a bit of a disadvantage.

Also, since he has recently stepped up in weight, he will be fighting heavi-er opponents.

Still, he remained optimistic leading up to his upcoming bouts in Las Ve-gas. Some of this confidence is based on his performance in Tacoma.

“In those earlier fights, the punches weren’t hurting,” he said. “None of the punches hurt me.”

His coach, Hiram Cantu of Round Three Boxing Club in Toppenish, said that Rubio’s confidence might seem surprising to people who have known the young man for several years.

“His transformation has been phe-nomenal,” Cantu said of Rubio.

He first met him when Rubio was

a 14-year-old “skater kid.” A shy and timid young man, who Rubio followed his older brother into the gym and asked if he could train to be a boxer.

Early on, his coach had trouble en-couraging Rubio to throw a punch in sparring sessions. However, this soon changed.

Now, Cantu speaks of Rubio as “an all-package deal.” Hand speed, strength and footwork all combine to make him an amazing talent, accord-ing to his coach.

Cantu entered Rubio into amateur contests, and he was not at all sur-prised by his success. Ahead of state Golden Gloves, he racked up four vic-tories in six fights, with his only two defeats occurring during an illness.

He said that his expectations are high for Rubio, but he is not the only person with great hopes for the boy. The entire Round Three Boxing Club family, made up of amateur and pro-fessional boxers, as well as coaches and supporters, are all looking forward to Rubio’s matches.

They were all helping him train, pushing him harder than he had ever been pushed before, guiding him through difficult exercise, several hours each day.

“I really feel sorry for him,” Rubio said leading up to his big fights. “We’re going to work him very hard.”
