Halloween activities in the Southern Columbia Basin

Families in southern Grant County and Adams County looking for events to take their children to this Halloween have plenty of options to choose from, whether in Mattawa, Royal City or Othello.

Wahluke beats Highland on Senior Night

MATTAWA - The Wahluke Warriors exploded for 21 points in the second quarter and rolled on to a 34-6 victory over Highland on Senior Night. Despite an overpowering offense and a running game that produced 151 yards on the ground, it was the rally-to-the-ball defense that got first-year head coach Ryan Antos’ attention. “Defense was the story,” he said. “We had two interceptions, one for a Pick 6. We recovered two fumbles and had two blocked kicks.” Oscar Rodriguez finished the night with 10 tackles for the Warriors (3-5). Senior Jesus Cisneros had eight tackles, including one for a loss to go along with his Pick-6 Tony Cruz, Jose Celaya, and Manny Garcia had six tackles apiece for a Wahluke defense that didn’t allow the score until the final quarter. Manny Garcia (2), Noe Martinez and Pedro Castaneda pressured the Highland quarterback all night, totaling four sacks on the night. Cisneros and Celaya added interceptions to the cause. “I thought the offensive line played outstanding,” Antos said. “Pedro Castaneda anchored our O-line, along with Seth Yorgesen, Johnny Garcia, Miguel Zamorano and Nahum Vivar. It great to see three sophomores and two freshmen make such strides in their improvement.” Celaya had two rushing touchdowns and Rodriguez had one for the Warriors, who also had a receiving touchdown from Cisneros. Wahluke wraps up the season against Quincy in a nonleague contest with the Jacks.

Othello falls to Selah in CWAC Crossover game

OTHELLO - It’s been a season of highs and lows for the Othello Huskies. They played their way into a Kansas City tiebreaker to determine the Central Washington Athletic Conference North No. 1 seed, only to be eliminated. Then just two weeks removed from one of the biggest wins of the season when they beat Ellensburg in Ellensburg, the Huskies (4-5) dropped a 62-7 decision to Selah in the CWAC crossover game. Selah rolled into Othello on a three-game winning streak and turned a 21-point first quarter into a 42-7 lead at the half. The Huskies got on the board with a touchdown in the second quarter, but clearly had no answer for the Vikings (6-2). Othello will finish out the season Cheney in a nonleague game.

Royal's Kaden Jenks still an inspiration to those around him

Football at its highest level is such a violent collision that it’s not so much if a player will be injured as to when that injury will happen. Former Royal star Kaden Jenks fell victim to a horrendous hit while he was trying to make a 6-yard run during Weber State’s 34-24 victory over Montana State. Jenks had already gone through the emotional ups and downs of NCAA Division I FCS football when he made the start at quarterback in Weber’s season opener against Utah. It was short-lived in that he underwent concussion protocol and eventually lost his starting job to Jake Constantine. But things were on the upswing when Jenks returned to the field, a chance to prove himself one more time that he was the guy. Anybody from the Royal Slope or anybody that’s ever been on the receiving end of a Kaden Jenks run, friend or foe, knows he’s a big guy with a competitive spirit and bringing him to the ground is no easy task. The WHEN in big-time college football happened to Jenks with 42 seconds remaining in the first half when he was tackled by Tyrone Fa’anono and others at the end of a 6-yard run. They call it a Marc Mariani-type injury, let’s just say the toes were going the wrong way when it was all said and done. But what happened next tells you a little something about what Brandon Jenks’ boy Kaden is all about. In the Missoulian, sports writer Greg Rachac quoted Weber State head coach Jay Hill saying, "Kaden Jenks is such a tough guy and such a loved guy on our football team," Hill said in comments provided by the Standard-Examiner newspaper. "When they (set) that ankle back into place, he said 'Tape it up and let me go back in there.' I'm like, ‘Just calm down a little bit.’ But that's the toughness that can rally a football team. “Our team got in a huddle and I heard them say it: 'We're going to go win this for Kaden.' That's what you want to see on a football team is to bind together over something like that." I’ve never been in the huddle with Kaden Jenks, never looked into those fiery, competitive eyes. But I have no doubt that guys like Angel Farias, Alonso Hernandez and the rest of the guys that wear Black and Gold with honor and pride have. What makes Kaden Jenks who he is is his faith and that those strong virtues and family ties mean something. When I watched his senior season, he was the closest thing to a young John Elway or Brett Favre I might ever see. He was a man among boys, but what makes him the man he is today is that he never sacrificed his principles to get there. This is not one of those “rub a little dirt on it,” moments your grandpa talked about when ya got beaned by a 7-year-old, left-hander in Little League. It’s a serious injury and our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family during the recuperation and the long road back. I talked with Brandon the other day and he said the surgery went well and the healing process is underway. I don’t have a snappy cliche to fall back on, but I do know that Kaden Jenks is a man of integrity and honor and will stand tall in whatever he puts his efforts into, and we wish him well in his efforts.

Royal dismantles College Place to wrap up regular season

COLLEGE PLACE - The three-time 1A defending state champion Royal Knights have outscored their last five opponents 284-0. Last Friday’s 62-0 victory over College Place was their fifth consecutive shutout for a defense allowing just 2.12 points a game. But this game to conclude the regular season is special, whether they talk about it or not. The Knights have now won 50 consecutive football games and are tied for the second-longest winning streak in the nation, according to MaxPreps. The streak dates back to Sept. 4, 2015 when they shutout the Ephrata Tigers 45-0. Coach Wiley Allred, who will be inducted into the Washington State Football Coaches Hall of Fame at the end of the season, will tell you they focus on attention to detail and preparation, the rest will sort itself out.

Good gravy! Try these tasty tater toppings

Back during my high school days, there was a rotating menu of foods available in the cafeteria. The ones that stick in my mind the most all these years later is that Tuesdays were hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes and Thursdays were turkey gravy over mashed potatoes. As I recall, the turkey gravy day was the more popular of the two, with staff from other locations coming by for lunch as well as the on-site crew. While I don’t know how much of it was prepared every week, I’m pretty sure you won’t need the big steam-jacketed kettle that could hold a full side of beef the cafeteria used while I was there.

PUD rates should be fair for everybody

No one likes to pay more for electricity. The fact is that increasing costs increases rates. Since 2015 the PUD commission has kept these increases balanced at no more than 2 percent per year.

I would like to see all users pay their proportionally fair share. We already have two farm irrigators on the commission with two more farm candidates vying for positions. With four out of five commissioners being irrigators do you think farm rates will increase? Who will pay the difference? We residents will pay. An effective, fair PUD commission should represent everyone: residents, irrigation and business groups. Vote for the candidates who will represent all of us. Vote Terry Brewer and Patti Paris.

McFarland Middle School art students volunteer for community project

OTHELLO — The Othello community garden got a new shed to help store the paraphernalia that goes along with gardening, but it looked a little plain. Pretty darn plain in fact, so the people running the garden decided to ask the students in McFarland Middle School art classes to spruce it up. Eighth grade art students were asked to come up with a design, said MMS art teacher Gretchen Durepo. The community garden is across the street from MMS, so the project was a natural extension. “It kind of evolved into a class thing.” It’s not a big shed, but the kids were asked to paint all four sides, so there was a lot of room to play with design. Each student came up with a proposal, and the kids voted on the designs they liked best. However, “there were parts of all of them that we really liked,” Durepo said, so something from each art student went into the final design. Flowers and vegetables are prominently featured, “so it’s related to the garden theme,” Durepo said. The eighth graders spent their class period drawing the design on the building, and started to paint it, but - well, it’s first period and it’s getting cold in the mornings, and after a while all the painting got kind of boring. So the afternoon seventh grade art class has picked up the paintbrushes. Seventh graders were working on the project last week, adding flowers and vines, vegetables and grass. As far as canvases go, it’s challenging. “Have you ever tried painting on this stuff?” Durepo asked. The seventh graders will be in charge of finishing the project, Durepo said.

Grant County has been good to me. I am in a position to give back by utilizing the skills and experiences I have gained in my 42-plus-year career.

I have reached out to many people, including elected officials, county employees and many others that deal with Grant County on a routine basis. I heard the message that our district is in need of a commissioner that will be present and responsive. I’ve learned that it is time for change. The incumbent has held the position for 12 years. The position should not be a career. It is time for the issues to be looked at from a different perspective by someone with new energy.

Please re-elect Cindy Carter for Grant County Commissioner

My occupation as a tree fruit consultant for the past 23 years has afforded me the opportunity to work with Cindy Carter not only as a consultant, but as a concerned citizen. Grant County currently possesses roughly 55,000 acres of tree fruit. The present acreage in the county boasts almost 40 million trees making Grant County the highest apple producing county in Washington as well as the U.S. Apples generate $4.7 billion (yes, with a “B”) and potatoes create $686 million in annual sales to the state every year. Grant County captures the majority of those dollars not to mention revenue propagated by numerous other crops. Needless to say agriculture is vital to our local and state economies. The ability to restrain pests relative to tree fruit production is more difficult with the loss of pesticide chemistries as well as an increase in organic production. Some pest issues have become so debilitating that growers and consultants alike reached out to the county commissioners in an effort to find a solution. Cindy spearheaded the meeting(s) and helped define a need going forward for a full-time, salaried pest coordinator position within Grant County. It is actions, not words, that speak volumes of Cindy’s character and this instance reiterates our need, not only as an industry, but as a community for an individual that understands our challenges. Agriculture supplies the framework that allows our local businesses, schools, churches and civic centers to thrive and grow. Having someone in the commissioner’s chair that embodies those values and realizes their worth is irreplaceable. We live in this great part of Washington because of, not in spite of, our better judgment. Help the agriculture community maintain what we all treasure most, our way of life. Please re-elect Cindy Carter.

PUD commission should represent all ratepayers

Don’t let large irrigators hijack your PUD. The two challengers were chosen by a PAC of the largest irrigators who’ve injected over $80,000 into their campaigns. Why? They want complete control of the Board in order to keep the huge subsidy in their electric rates. There are currently three irrigators on our board of five who together could have overturned any policies now in place. They didn’t. These candidates would see that we continue to subsidize large irrigators who are enjoying rates over 40 percent below the cost to serve them. We other ratepayers subsidize their rates. Current policy would gradually move them up to the same as residential and small business ratepayers at 20 percent below cost.

Hammond is right for 13th District

We are writing this letter in support of Sylvia Hammond, who is running for the 13th Legislative District Representative Position No. 2.

His party has put out names of five possible replacements, but no one has had the chance to find out anything about them or even know who would be chosen. That does not seem like the right way to choose a representative. As citizens, we deserve the right to know whom we are voting for and how they plan to be our voice.

Please re-elect Cindy Carter for Grant County Commissioner

My occupation as a tree fruit consultant for the past 23 years has afforded me the opportunity to work with Cindy Carter not only as a consultant, but as a concerned citizen. Grant County currently possesses roughly 55,000 acres of tree fruit. The present acreage in the county boasts almost 40 million trees making Grant County the highest apple producing county in Washington as well as the U.S. Apples generate $4.7 billion (yes with a “B”) and potatoes create $686 million in annual sales to the state every year. Grant County captures the majority of those dollars not to mention revenue propagated by numerous other crops. Needless to say agriculture is vital to our local and state economies. The ability to restrain pests relative to tree fruit production is more difficult with the loss of pesticide chemistries as well as an increase in organic production. Some pest issues have become so debilitating that growers and consultants alike reached out to the county commissioners in an effort to find a solution. Cindy spearheaded the meeting(s) and helped define a need going forward for a full-time, salaried pest coordinator position within Grant County. It is actions, not words, that speak volumes of Cindy’s character and this instance reiterates our need, not only as an industry, but as a community for an individual that understands our challenges. Agriculture supplies the framework that allows our local businesses, schools, churches and civic centers to thrive and grow. Having someone in the commissioner’s chair that embodies those values and realizes their worth is irreplaceable. We live in this great part of Washington because of, not in spite of, our better judgment. Help the agriculture community maintain what we all treasure most, our way of life. Please re-elect Cindy Carter.

Othello junior Isaiah Perez one of the most sought after football players in Washington state

OTHELLO - These are exciting times for the Perez family. Othello High School junior Isaiah Perez started taking his game serious back in the seventh grade, special invite camps, weight room regiments, technique drills, diet, attention to detail, all of the behind the scenes focus on the road to greatness. He’s just a junior and already he’s become one of the highest sought after recruits in Washington state and it’s not just the in-state universities showing interest. Last spring, he made visits to UCLA, University of Southern California and Wisconsin. This fall, he’s been on the road almost every weekend with visits to Washington University, Washington State, Oregon, Howard. Perez, a 6-foot-3, 245-pound Huskies defensive end, was the Central Washington Athletic Conference defensive player of the year as a sophomore, as well as first team all-conference at defensive end and second team all-conference selection at running back. He’s received three, four letters of interest a week from Harvard, Purdue, Northwestern, Eastern Washington, Stanford, Weber State and a slew of others. Both BYU (Division 1 FBS school) and Howard (Division 1 FCS school) have made scholarship offers. “It’s a really fun process knowing that you’re good enough to play at the next level. It’s been my dream for so long. It’s hard to explain, but it’s been a lot of fun,” said Perez, who’s made eight visits so far. “In the spring, I toured the campus and the football facilities at UCLA, USC and Wisconsin. The latest ones this fall, I’ve been able to go to the games and see the facilities. “They make you feel pretty special, then they take you out to the field and you get to watch the game.” Perez has been hand-timed in the 40-yard dash at 4.85 seconds. He also has some pretty special benchmarks in the weightroom with a 335-pound maximum on the bench and a max squat of 450. His best deadlift of 500 pounds. The sky’s the limit for a young man with strong spiritual ties to his local church and family values. The idea of being made to feel wanted is what the recruiting process is all about, but Perez has his own ideas of what he wants in a football program and a place of higher education. “So far I’ve taken a look at my own feelings and what I feel is right about what’s the best fit for me,” said Perez, who also won a 2A state heavyweight wrestling championship last year as sophomore. “I’ve been to some games this fall and it’s pretty cool walking out onto the field and seeing all the fans cheering. The environment at the football game is pretty crazy. “Personally, I’m not really looking at what they’ve done (Heisman winners, national championships) in the past. My goal is to play after college and if I’m getting what I need in college and they can make me the best I can be, that’s where I want to be.” The end game is to play on Sundays, but it’s one step at a time for this Othello family. With all the books on the horror stories of major university football recruiting. Gordy Perez has been there every step of the way, and says the process has been professional and his son has been treated with dignity and respect. “I just posted on Facebook today, it’s an exciting time to be Isaiah Perez,” he said. “All this attention that’s coming on us has been amazing. When they brought us on the field at Oregon, we followed the players out, the crowd was cheering. We want him to enjoy the process and the attention and make the choice that best fits him.” It doesn’t hurt that his mother Mandi’s brothers Ryan (2001-02) and Eddie Keele (2003-06) both went through the recruiting process and played at Brigham Young. Eddie went through training camp with the Raiders and played a season in the Arena Football League with the Utah Blaze. “I spent last summer in Utah training and working out with them, Isaiah said. “We talked a little bit about how it all works.” Mandi Perez is a 1995 Othello graduate and went to Eastern Washington University on a track and field scholarship. Even in the short 23-year span from her recruiting experience, today a whole different process. “Probably the biggest difference in recruiting these days is social media,” she said. “A lot of Isaiah’s recruiting has been on Twitter. He’ll talk to coaches and that’s how he got his last offer (with Howard University) was over Twitter. “We had no idea of how the recruiting process goes. We had some advice on making a Twitter account and how the coaches do a lot of stuff on Twitter. Isaiah does a good job making his own highlight film. He does all of his own stuff on Hudl. They told us the film should only be two-three minutes, you want to start with your top five plays. I’m just really impressed when I watch his highlight film.” When it comes right down to it, all the schmoozing aside, Perez, who carries a 2.85 grade point average in the classroom, will make his own decision. He didn’t give a specific timeline as to when that will be. Right now, his interest is to get the Huskies into the CWAC postseason with a big game at Ellensburg and enjoy the process.

Hammond is the right choice for 13th District

I’ve been surprised lately how on social media, friends and neighbors with much in common will rage vehemently against those they perceive to be on the other side of the political fence, not realizing the people they are raging against actually share many of their beliefs. Of course we all have differences, but I know that if we focus on the issues and not the party labels we would find more common ground than we realize.

I have traveled to Washington, D.C. with Commissioner Brewer and witnessed first-hand the connections Terry has with representatives for all areas of the state. Many know him on a first-name basis which can be valuable when working the tough issues that the electrical industry faces. Terry is well respected for his knowledge and commitment to the ratepayers of not only Grant County, but the entire region.

Terry Brewer for PUD commission

I have known Terry for 15-plus years, quite some time before he became a PUD commissioner. Terry has integrity, incredible character and is highly qualified for the PUD Commissioner position. There is no question in my mind that he is the best person to work through, and address the complexity of challenges we face. His dedication to this resource we have has been tireless; in fact, he has not missed one PUD meeting in the last five years.

Jeff Foster for Grant County Commissioner

I have known and worked with him for many years. He has always on been a hard worker and someone who will keep the people informed about issues and what is happening in the county. As I have traveled, I talked to so many people who have no idea who our commissioners are. A vote for Jeff Foster will insure the people of Grant County will be informed about the issues.

PUD $1.3 billion in debt

Our PUD is $l.3 billion in debt ($26,000 per meter) and adding to that every day. Our current commissioners have claimed the debt is due to relicensing the dams and upgrades to the turbines. I will ask one question: How come you haven’t set aside money from the sale of power the past 60 years for the relicense and upgrades and any other maintenance to the dams? I sat in a budget meeting and listened to PUD General Manager Kevin Nordt say the PUD debt was healthy and we can spread the debt over multiple generations. Really? Mr. Nordt, do you buy a house and let your kids and grandkids pay it off? Commissioners of Grant PUD have let the debt get out of hand and want to pass this big debt off to our kids and grandkids. I think we need to elect commissioners that want to pay down the debt, and pass a PUD down to future generations that we can all be proud of. Not just a lot of debt.

Sylvia Hammond for state legislature

I’m writing to ask everyone in Grant County to vote for Sylvia Hammond to represent us in our state legislature. Sylvia is a moderate Democrat who has a common sense approach. She has a background we can respect and a practical knowledge of our unique concerns here on Grant County. Having been a farmer and a teacher, she will take our important perspective to Olympia. She knows how to work hard and will ensure that our concerns are not neglected in Olympia. She has striven to run a clean campaign even though her opponent has been fired from his tenured job at CWU after being investigated for sexually inappropriate behavior with female students, stripped of his ranking position in a House committee and asked by his party to resign and is suing his former employer. He claims he won’t serve if he does win the election. He doesn’t deserve your valuable vote. Let’s send Sylvia to Olympia. She is ready to listen to us, ready to work without embarrassing distractions and to represent us with dignity. Vote for Sylvia Hammond for Legislative District 13 representative.

PUD $1.3 billion in debt

Our PUD is $l.3 billion in debt ($26,000 per meter) and adding to that every day. Our current commissioners have claimed the debt is due to relicensing the dams and upgrades to the turbines. I will ask one question: How come you haven’t set aside money from the sale of power the past 60 years for the relicense and upgrades and any other maintenance to the dams? I sat in a budget meeting and listened to PUD General Manager Kevin Nordt say the PUD debt was healthy and we can spread the debt over multiple generations. Really? Mr. Nordt, do you buy a house and let your kids and grandkids pay it off? Commissioners of Grant PUD have let the debt get out of hand and want to pass this big debt off to our kids and grandkids. I think we need to elect commissioners that want to pay down the debt, and pass a PUD down to future generations that we can all be proud of. Not just a lot of debt.

Sylvia Hammond for state legislature

I’m writing to ask everyone in Grant County to vote for Sylvia Hammond to represent us in our state legislature. Sylvia is a moderate Democrat who has a common sense approach. She has a background we can respect and a practical knowledge of our unique concerns here on Grant County. Having been a farmer and a teacher, she will take our important perspective to Olympia. She knows how to work hard and will ensure that our concerns are not neglected in Olympia. She has striven to run a clean campaign even though her opponent has been fired from his tenured job at CWU after being investigated for sexually inappropriate behavior with female students, stripped of his ranking position in a House committee and asked by his party to resign and is suing his former employer. He claims he won’t serve if he does win the election. He doesn’t deserve your valuable vote. Let’s send Sylvia to Olympia. She is ready to listen to us, ready to work without embarrassing distractions and to represent us with dignity. Vote for Sylvia Hammond for Legislative District 13 representative.

Academics and athletics go hand in hand

I can remember sitting in music awareness class in college listening to Chopin playing some classic piece of music known throughout the ages by everybody, but me and the couple of dozen kids sitting in this class. Why do we need to know this stuff if it’s not our major field of study? Besides, Elton John can play better than this. “... I know, it’s only rock ‘n’ roll, but I like it …” It never occurred to me until several years later, that if you want to be considered a higher educated person, you need to know or at least be exposed to topics outside your area of interest. Now days, my calculator takes care of my mathematical inadequacies. Spellcheck covers a multitude of spelling and grammar sins. It’s easy to get caught up in the idea of what do I need this for? Once I get out and get a job, I’ll never need to know this stuff again. Maybe, maybe not. I have little doubt there’s guys out there pounding nails or selling real estate that make more money than I do. Makes me wonder why I even have a bachelor’s degree? But I did learn at a young age, it’s all part of the deal. You want a job at a newspaper or magazine, the degree is the avenue. Same holds true with student athletes, you want to play you have to show up in the classroom and work as hard as you do in the competitive arena. Royal City superstar Michael Rojas was recruited to play Pac-12 soccer at University of Washington. It is a fact that the son of immigrant parents has NCAA Division I soccer skills. But UW doesn’t bother with kids that can’t that are a ghost when it comes to the classroom. Academics set up the athletics and Rojas is a fine example to every kid working in the orchards, honorable work to be sure, that there is another avenue to travel if you study hard. I would think I’m not the only one that is happy to see Wahluke junior Oscar Rodriguez back on the football field. Rodriguez came out of the box firing against Kiona-Benton, where he passed for five touchdown passes in the 50-13 win. He was 15-of-32 passing for 388 yards, earning the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (didn’t even need spell check to get through that one) Player of the Week in Week 5. I’m not one to pussyfoot around saying academic ineligibility, but I am happy to see Rodriguez got things sorted in the classroom and now he’s back to being a part of something special called Warrior Football. “This is how we’re going to play going forward, for sure,” first-year head coach Ryan Antos said. “As long as we stay healthy and we have Oscar, we’re going to roll.” Rodriguez made up for lost time with a huge day, hitting Isaac Sanchez for 172 yards and two touchdowns. “Oscar threw the ball really well and they kept playing man-to-man defense,” Antos said. “Sanchez had six catches for 172 yards. But all our receivers had a big day, because they were stacking box trying to take away the run game.” I look forward to seeing Wahluke football take its place in the top four of the SCAC East and advance to the 1A state playoffs. You only get to do this once, might as well work hard in the classroom to get there.

Cindy Carter works hard for her constituents

I’ve been living in Royal City for the last 15 years and I met Cindy Carter five years ago. She helped me when my family lived in a very small trailer and I was told I had to pay $5,000 for a road off the highway so I could put a bigger trailer on my property. My wife was going to have a baby and she had medical problems. Cindy helped us so we could move in to our property before our baby came. I can say that she works really hard at home and the office. She really cares that the small businesses keep working and she works hard for the residents’ conflicts. She needs to keep dealing with the state for the residents. I’m sure that if she is re—elected she is going to represent the county very well. It’s the better option for the area.

Cindy Carter works hard for her constituents

I’ve been living in Royal City for the last 15 years and I met Cindy Carter five years ago. She helped me when my family lived in a very small trailer and I was told I had to pay $5,000 for a road off the highway so I could put a bigger trailer on my property. My wife was going to have a baby and she had medical problems. Cindy helped us so we could move in to our property before our baby came. I can say that she works really hard at home and the office. She really cares that the small businesses keep working and she works hard for the residents’ conflicts. She needs to keep dealing with the state for the residents. I’m sure that if she is re—elected she is going to represent the county very well. It’s the better option for the area.

Patti Paris for PUD

This letter is in support of Patti Paris who is running for PUD Commissioner B-At Large. I have known and worked closely with Patti over a 15-year period where I was her employer’s banker and Patti was the Chief Financial Officer for my client. Patti oversaw finance for a large ag business company with a presence throughout the state in multiple locations. The nature of our business was large, complex financial transactions and I found Patti to possess impeccable integrity and a thorough understanding of business, accounting and the financial markets. These traits are needed to oversee our increasingly complex PUD and provide sound and open-minded leadership for the future. Patti’s background in the accounting profession, financial management and as a PUD employee uniquely qualify her for the role of Commissioner. Patti, through her years with an ag-based business, also fully appreciates the importance of both agriculture and industry to Grant County. Patti’s commitment and perspective will allow her to represent the needs of all and allow her to be a great commissioner.

Re-elect Terry Brewer

To my friends in Grant County, I would like to offer my endorsement of Terry Brewer for reelection to the Board of Commissioners for Grant County PUD.

Patti Paris the best option for PUD

Patti Paris is, by far, the best, most qualified choice for PUD Commissioner. Our community needs the leadership Patti represents. I’ve know Patti for almost 30 years, have worked with her for six years on a church leadership board during a high pressure time, and have watched her use her analytical and financial skills in her 15 years as Chief Financial Officer for Columbia Colstor, a significant employer and agriculture support business here in Grant County.

Terry Brewer respected by other PUDs

I’d like to take this opportunity to ask the citizens of Grant County to re-elect Terry Brewer to the board of commissioners of Grant County PUD. My name is Jack Janda and I serve as a commissioner of Mason County PUD No. 1. As a fellow PUD commissioner, I have had the opportunity to work directly with Terry and observe his enthusiasm in protecting the rights of the customers he serves. Terry is informed and engaged with public power organizations that protect and support utilities such as Grant County PUD and he works with other member utilities to investigate and pursue opportunities for low cost, reliable utility services.

Vote for Hammond to preserve democracy

What is democracy? The dictionary defines it as rule by the people, us. It is the ability to elect your representative. We citizens in the 13th Legislative District still have that honor and responsibility. Sylvia Hammond and Matt Manweller are seeking our votes to be our representative in Olympia. Sylvia wants to be our representative and to serve us while Matt says he will resign if he is elected. So what does that say about democracy? If Manweller wins, he quits. Then who chooses his replacement? The Republican Party chooses three people and the county commissioners of Grant, Kittitas, Lincoln and Yakima counties will make the final choice. This is not democracy, but it is the law. This will give us for two years a person that we, the people, have never voted for. People often say they vote for the person and not the party. This is the perfect time to put that statement into practice. So how do we keep democracy alive and well in the 13th Legislative District? The choice is easy and smart. Vote for Sylvia Hammond.

I have lived in Cle Elum since 1981 and I would like to share why I will be voting for Sylvia Hammond for District 13 State Legislator.

More important, she shares my values.

Mattawa clinic finances concern auditor's office

MATTAWA — The Mattawa Community Medical Clinic’s use of interest-bearing warrants prompted expressions of concern from the Washington Auditor’s Office during the audit of the clinic’s 2017 finances. Interest-bearing warrants can be issued by junior taxing districts - like the clinic, which is Grant County Hospital District No. 5 - that don’t have enough cash on hand to meet their obligations. The money is loaned by the county treasurer, and is paid back with interest. As of Sept. 24, the hospital district owed $498,345 to Grant County in warrants, said Grant County Treasurer Darryl Pheasant. That’s about $150,000 less than the clinic’s balance at the same time last year, Pheasant said. “While the district has made improvements, its financial condition continues to be a concern,” according to the report issued by the auditor’s office. The audit covered 2017 only. The audit report said the district generated operating revenue of $1,791,855 in 2017, but incurred operating expenses of $2,049,443. However the district had $373,730 in non-operating income, and as a result finished the year in the black. The clinic offers primary care, prenatal care, imaging and lab services. Its administrators are working to add services that will help improve its financial condition, said chief executive officer Dana Fox. A dental clinic opened in September, Fox said. District officials also received a grant to pay for a pharmacy, which would be the only one in Mattawa. It should open in 30 to 45 days, she said, and while its operation will make a difference in 2018, “the full financial benefits to the clinic will not be realized until 2019.” In addition, clinic officials plan to put a proposal on the ballot in February 2019 to increase the district’s tax levy, Fox said. A levy increase was rejected by voters in November 2017; it received 235 yes votes, 53.29 percent of the total. But as a revenue measure it required 60 percent to pass. Clinic officials also reduced the hours of a clinic medical provider, from full time to part-time, which meant the medical provider and his spouse weren’t eligible for medical benefits. That meant “a significant saving to the clinic,” according to clinic officials’ response to the audit report.
