very seriously. Dodge served
in the United States Air Force dur-
ellensburg 23, Othello 14 ing the Vietnam War. He was born
and raised in Vermont where he was
working in a paper mill when he re-
ceived his draft notice. Rather than
being drafted into the Army, Dodge
sought to enlist in the Air Force as a
weapons mechanic. This was on the
advice of his brother who served in
the Korean War in the same capacity.
“Based on my brother’s advice, I
figured I would have a better chance
of surviving the war as a weapons
mechanic in the Air Force,” Dodge
said.
Please see B 1 He wasn’t fond of water, so the
Navy was not an option for him.
Dodge served in Vietnam during
Custom Swathing 1966 and 1967, a total of one year
and one day. He was stationed at
an Air Force base located about 89
miles north of Saigon, South Viet-
nam. A weapons mechanic in the
Vietnam War was responsible for
arming and disarming aircraft. As a
weapons mechanic, Dodge was also
responsible for ordinance disposal.
This involved fixing aircraft guns
that were jammed and bombs that
had not properly deployed from the
aircraft. Additionally, Dodge was

that didn’t go off and blowing them
up.
Although Dodge wasn’t on the
front lines, he did experience enemy
fire. One night in May of 1966 the
enemy launched an air attack on the
Air Force base where Dodge was
stationed.
“They mortared us and rocketed
the base all night long,” said Dodge.
The attack destroyed two-thirds of
the base and two-thirds of the air-
craft. All of the aircraft were fight-

ers; there were no bombers at the
base. Many of the jets were single-
fighter aircraft such as 101s, 102s
and 105s. The newest jets were the
F4Cs, which were a phantom air-
craft.
Dodge was discharged in 1968
in Grand Forks, N.D. He came to
Othello to visit the Kummer broth-
ers, who were friends of his fam-
ily. 1968 was a rather mild winter

S
ergeant Nels Larson was hon-
ored Monday night at the City
Council meeting for 25 years
of service to the Othello Police De-
partment. Following is a tribute that
was read by Mayor Shannon McKay
at a short awards ceremony where
Sergeant Larson was awarded a
plaque:
“Nels was born and raised in
Othello. He graduated from Othello
High School and then served a two-
year mission for the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is
married and has six children.
Nels started with the City as a Re-
serve Officer in 1979 and was hired
as a Dispatcher / Jailer in 1984. In
1989 he was hired as a Police Officer
and he was promoted to Sergeant in
2007.
He is involved with traffic safety
issues. He has written and obtained
several grants in this area amount-
ing to thousands of dollars in equip-
ment and overtime being received
by the department, one of the more
popular being the SIDNE Vehicle,
which Nels has used to train over 400
young people about the effects of al-
cohol consumption on driving.
Nels is also a Field Training Officer
responsible for training new recruits,
and he is involved in maintaining ac-
creditation files for the department.
As a community, we salute Ser-
geant Larson for his service.”
Other issues discussed at the meet-
ing included a staff recommendation
to the council to table the vehicle
parking code that has been the cen-
terpiece for much of the discussion
the past few meetings. According to
city planner Darryl Piercy, “There
are many, many elements of our code
that compliment each other but aren’t
found in the same area.”
Piercy went on to explain that af-
ter careful examination of the city’s
codes, he found most of the pieces
to the proposed code already existed
in the current code. For some reason,
however, they were not in the same
place.
He suggested council table the is-
sue and give him time to comb out
the code and find all of the pieces
before council discusses the issue

Election results
Although the recent election will
not be certified until Nov. 24, the
latest results are pretty solid. The
Othello mayor race went to Tim Wil-
son with 491 votes (67.45 percent).
Ken Johnson received 237 votes
(32.55 percent).
For Initiative Measure 1033 which
concerns state, county and city rev-
enue, Adams County voters strongly
mirrored the rest of the state. Adams
County voted it down 58.12 percent
to 41.88 percent and the state voted
to reject the measure 57.38 percent
to 42.62 percent. For Referendum
Measure 71 (concerning rights for
state-registered domestic partners)
it was a much different story. It ap-
pears the measure will pass with the
latest state-wide tally at 52.55 per-
cent approving it and 47.45 percent
rejecting.
Most Adams County voters felt
different with only 26.73 percent
voting to approve the measure and
73.27 percent voting to reject. Su-
san Fagan appears to be headed to
Olympia to represent Legislative
District 9. Fagan received 55.09 per-
cent of the district-wide vote with
Pat Hailey receiving 44.91 percent.
In Adams County, Fagan got 30.83
percent to Hailey’s 69.17 percent of
the vote. Both candidates are Repub-
lican.

William Henry Howes
1966-2009
William “Bill” Henry
Howes, 43, Othello, passed
away Nov. 6, 2009 in Othello,
Washington.
Bill was born Sept. 8, 1966
to Patricia Corbett and Robert
Howes in Hollywood, Calif.
When Bill was three he and
his mother and his older broth-
er, Michael, moved to Grants
Pass, Ore. Bill attended his
school years at Hidden Valley,
Ore. Bill then left home and
moved to Seattle where he
met his wife Tammie.
Bill worked in Seattle at
Garrett Press where he was
trained to be a journeyman
press operator. This was a
family-owned and operated
business and Bill became
part of the printing family,
besides marrying into it. He
and Tammie were married in
July of 1987. After twenty
years in the printing business,
Bill decided it was time for
a change of career. Being a
handy guy – he liked to tinker
with cars, computers, elec-
tronics and remodeled every
house he lived in – he found
a great fit working at Lowe’s.
His people skills led him to
his first promotion within two
months. Within a few years
he moved his way up to Op-
erations Manager and had the
opportunity to open the new
store in Moses Lake.
During 22 years of marriage
he and Tammie were joined
by their first son, Nicholas in
1987; Noah in 1990; and their
daughter, Samantha in 1993.
Bill was an avid family man.
Whatever the kids were doing,
or wanted to do, so did Bill.
There were years of T-ball fol-
lowed by baseball. Bill spent
many years umpiring youth
of all ages on many different
baseball fields from Seattle
to Shoreline to Snohomish.
There were horse shows, FFA
trips, 4-H events and always
there were kids. Bill was the
neighborhood dad. If the
group was going somewhere
and needed a ride - call Bill –
he’ll take us. He chaperoned
dances, field trips, BBQs and
hosted many a BBQ himself.
He loved to cook and feeding
people was a hobby.
One of Bill’s life ambitions

Records
was to be a farmer. Kind of
hard to do in Seattle, so he
and Tammie headed to Othel-
lo where Tammie had grown
up. Horses had always been
around, but next thing you
knew there were sheep, pigs
and steers and a few dogs
and cats too. Fairs and 4-H
and FFA became the routine
– spring shows with pigs and
sheep, horse shows starting
in early spring and running
through fall, and then the fairs
with pigs and sheep again.
Throughout it all, Bill was
entertained by and mentored
hundreds of kids and others.
Friends were an important
part of Bill’s life and he had
many. He developed and cul-
tivated friendships. He often
said “you can’t pick your rela-
tives, but you can pick your
friends.” He was great at re-
membering names, places and
details and it always felt good
to hear his hello because he
knew who you were and he
was happy to see you again.
He will be greatly missed by
his family and friends.
He was preceded in death
by his brother, Michael and
his mother, Patricia. He is
survived by his wife, Tam-
mie; sons Nicholas and Noah
and daughter Samantha. His
sister, Susan (Chris); father,
Robert (Judy); Robert Jr;
sister, Kimberly; along with
several brothers-in-law and
sisters-in-law and nieces and
nephews.
The family will greet friends

mild than the cold, snowy and
nasty winters of Vermont that
often see lots of snow. Dodge
decided to stay in Othello and
has been here ever since. He
worked as a maintenance su-
pervisor, then as a city cop
and sheriff’s deputy for a pe-
riod of time.
Dodge then spent 25 years
working construction in many
western states with jobs taking
place as far away as Utah. Af-
ter tiring of the travel, Dodge
worked for Adams County
Public Works, from which he
retired last March.
Dodge considers Veterans
Day to be particularly signifi-
cant in honoring America’s
veterans and notes there is a
distinction between Memorial
Day and Veterans Day.
“Memorial Day is for all
servicemen, whereas Veter-
ans Day honors veterans who
fought in conflicts around the
world,” said Dodge.
Veterans Day was origi-
nally Armistice Day, which
honored those who fought
in World War I. It was later
named Veterans Day and hon-
ors those who served in con-
flicts including World War I
and World War II where loss
of life was significant.
Although retired, Dodge is
still active in the community
and serves as the president of
the cemetery board. There are
currently 264 veterans buried
in the cemetery.
As president, Dodge has
made it very clear that there
are two days per year the cem-
etery must be looking very
nice – Memorial Day and Vet-
erans Day.

the spirit of freedom Honoring those who

served...by Doc Hastings
Doc Hastings
Congressman
More than 100 years ago,
President Teddy Roosevelt
spoke to the residents of
Springfield, Illinois about how
vital it was for the government
to keep its commitment to those
who fought for our nation, our
veterans. He said that, “A man
who is good enough to shed his
blood for his country is good
enough to be given a square
deal afterwards. More than that
no man is entitled, and less than
that no man shall have.”
With veterans returning from
Iraq and Afghanistan joining
those veterans who fought and
served in World War II, Korea,
Vietnam, the Gulf War and
in other conflicts around the
globe, those words still ring
true today.
Photo by Bess Reneau In communities large and
small, Americans will pause
this week to praise the brave
port our veterans and their
families. This Veterans Day, I
want to highlight two bills that
I believe will improve the qual-
ity of life and care for those
men and women who served
our country with honor and dis-
tinction.
The BRAVE Act is legisla-
tion that will reduce bureaucra-
cy and give disabled veterans
timely access to their Social
Security benefits. This com-
mon sense bill says that if the
VA determines you are dis-
abled, that designation should
be good enough for Social
Security. This will reduce the
time it takes veterans to get
their benefits and also reduce
redundant paperwork costs.
The second bill is legislation
that will specifically allow the
construction of a new Walla
Walla veterans’ outpatient
health care clinic. Veterans
who fought for our country
should not have to fight to get
the medical care they earned in
service to our nation. This bill
recently passed the House and
is expected to be signed into
law.
While Veterans Day is an im-
portant holiday to honor our he-
roes, Congress must work year-
round to support policies and
laws that take care of the needs

Some years ago Mr. V and
I sat in a meeting with a re-

expressed our concerns about

The labor market in Adams
County continued to be weak
in September 2009, as em-
ployers in the manufacturing
industry posted modest job
gains and their counterparts
in the government sector lost
workers at a higher rate than
the state.
Overall, nonfarm employ-
ment dropped to 5,420 jobs
at the end of the third quarter
from 5,500 the same period
last year.
The jobless rate rose over
the year, but declined over the
month. The number of people
unemployed increased over
the year, but decreased over
the month.

ment in Adams County ac-
counted for 28.0 percent of
4.4 percent from September
2008 to September 2009.
Statewide, government jobs
shrank at 0.6 percent over the
same time period.
• Paychecks in the trade,
transportation and utilities
sector declined to 1,320, after
falling by 40 between Sep-
tember 2008 and September

12-month period ending in
September 2008, employ-
ment in this services provid-
ing sector remained flat.
• Employers in natural re-

quarter with a total of 130
employees.

the year and increased their
workforce to 1,020 from Sep-
tember 2008 to September
2009. Across the state, em-
ployers in natural resources
and mining cut 23.1 percent
of their workforce, while
companies in the construction
industry lost 19 percent of
their workers and the manu-
8.3 percent, or by ten to reach
a total of 130 workers over

Statewide, employment in the
information sector was down

Unemployment
The number of people filing
for continued unemployment
claims, a statistic that tracks

ket, more than doubled over
the 12-month period ending
in September 2009.
This month, the total of 207
Adams County residents fil-

from a total of 91 claimants
in September 2008.

some of the other foundations
dedicated to Barnes, who is
remembered for his positive
attitude.
Barnes’ father Mark Barnes
and stepmother Bonnie
Barnes were present at the
OCH award ceremony to de-
scribe the significance of the
DAISY award.
“We got to see what nurses
do day in and day out. We
needed to find a way to thank
nurses for all they do,” Bon-
nie Barnes said.
“Nurses will say ‘but I didn’t
do anything special, I was just
doing my job’,” Mark Barnes
added, noting he hopes to re-
mind nurses “how special you
are. You really are – thank
you for being nurses.”
The first DAISY award was
given out nine years ago.
There are now 443 hospitals
honoring nurses with this
award. The Othello Com-
munity Hospital will present
DAISY awards twice a year,
once in May during Nurses’
Week and once each Novem-
ber.
Those nominated for the
first award included Barbie
Dailey, Kathi Trussel, Kari
Blaack, Linda Bork and Jane
Zyph.
“I really appreciate all that
they do,” Jamie Lehman of the
OCH staffing committee said
of the five award nominees.
The winner was selected
during a staffing committee
meeting. After evaluating the
nominations Barbie Dailey
was selected as the first OCH
DAISY award winner.
“I really feel she exemplifies
everything this award stands
for,” Lehman said.
Nomination comments for
Dailey included:
“Barbie has shown com-
passion and care for others
through her personal gifting of
her time and talent,” “Barbie
always goes a level beyond
the call of duty,” and “she al-
ways puts the patients first.”
The next DAISY award
winner will be chosen in May.
Nurses can be nominated
anytime up until one month
before the award date. Nomi-
nations can be made in the
form of a written letter or by
picking up a nomination form
from OCH. All nominees re-
ceive a DAISY pin.

ocal women interested
in contributing to the
community while cre-
ating friendships are invited
to learn more about the local
Beta Sigma Phi chapters serv-
ing the Othello community.
The non-academic soror-
ity was founded in 1931 as
an opportunity for women to
gather in a united purpose of
developing social and cultural
enrichment as well as civic
stewardship. The organization
helped bring women together
in these purposes during the
challenges of the Great De-
pression. Since that time the
organization has grown to
all 50 states, all provinces of
Canada and 30 other coun-
tries. There are currently
more than 165,000 members
throughout the world.
The organization is not
religion-based and is open to
women of all ages. There are
three chapters of Beta Sig-
ma Phi in Othello: Xi Beta
Xi, Delta Upsilon and Beta
Lambda. Although the chap-
ters were originally organized
based on age they are no lon-
ger formatted on age or expe-
rience. Local women join the
chapter that best suits their
interests.
“Our purpose is to serve our
community, to build friend-
ships and enjoy our time
together,” said Xi Beta Xi
president Barb Taylor. “All

fundraising goes to some type
of community service.”
According to Taylor, the so-
rority is always open to new
members.
“If someone new comes to
town we invite them to our
meetings,” Taylor said, noting
her chapter currently has 15
members.
New members are welcome
to join any of the three local
chapters.
There are several levels of
membership within the soror-
ity.
Each new member starts
as a Pledge for the first three
years, then moves up to Rit-
ual of Jewels. The Exemplar
level is reached after four
years, Preceptor after 6 years
and Laureate after 8 or more
years.
The Order of the Rose is for
those who have been mem-
bers for 15 years or more.
“Our focus is always on lo-
cal community,” Taylor said.
Recently Xi Beta Xi held a
holiday auction benefit at the
Eagles Lodge. The chapter
raised $1137 for the Othello
Food Bank during the event.
Xi Beta Xi is also currently
collecting supplies to donate
to the women’s shelter in
Moses Lake, including soap,
shampoo and other sundries.
The items are gathered and
delivered to the shelter about
every eight months.
In addition to philanthropic
endeavors, the sorority is

Besherse and Janelle Jones (Auxilians) present the new hysteroscope and resectoscope
equipment.
The OCH Auxiliary recently donated new hysteroscope and resectoscope surgical instrumentation
valued at just over $17,240. Hysteroscopy permits visual inspection of the uterus with a scope. This
specialized equipment can be used both to diagnose disease and as a method of surgical intervention.
Hysteroscopy may be used for removal of endometrial polyps, control of gynecologic bleeding,
removal of uterine fibroids, and other conditions.
“Our patients, staff, physicians, and commissioners are proud of the tremendous effort
put forth by the Auxilians on behalf of the hospital,” remarked Harry Geller,
Administrator. “Since 2002, the Auxiliary has raised over $114,000 for patient
care equipment.”
Hung Miu, M.D.; and Monique Small, M.D., obstetrical/gynecology
specialists, are particularly appreciative of this equipment.
Dr. Miu has provided outstanding care in Othello since
1998 and Dr. Small since early 2009 at Quality

 The Othello IndependenT
ffa raises pigs for a purpose
FFA members Hesston Hayduck, Bobbie Jensen, TJ Spurgeon, Skylar Haakenson
and Cody Gearheart.
Bess Reneau
Editor
T
he Othello Chapter of
the FFA is kicking off
a new fundraising event
called “Pigs for a Purpose.”
Participants will each raise a
spring pig to sell at auction in
April, with all proceeds ben-
efiting a charity of their choice.
Twenty students are par-
ticipating in the project. Each
student will choose the charity
they would like to support, al-
though if a sponsor requests a
certain beneficiary the students
will accommodate the request.
According to FFA advisor
Jamie Krueger, the idea was
formed during the fair when a
boy auctioned off a lamb and
dedicated the proceeds to a
cancer awareness group.
“I thought it would be a neat
idea,” she said. “I could see
this really catching on. What a
great community service.”
Coho Farms in Ephrata is
providing the pigs to the FFA
for a special rate of only $50
each. The pigs normally sell
for about $125 each. Students
will receive their 6 to 10-week-
old pigs today. According to
FFA member Hesston Hayduk,
the Yorkshire-cross pigs will
already weigh 50 to 60 pounds
when they arrive.
“Pigs double their weight the
first week they’re born,” he
said.
“That’s why they’re called
‘pigs’,” said Krueger.
The pigs will be raised at the
FFA barn located off Highway
24. While the pigs are young
their care will be a collabora-
tive effort. Students will even-
tually select separate pigs to
work with.
The pigs will be auctioned
off during the Northwest Ju-
nior Livestock Show at the
Grant County Fairgrounds in
Moses Lake. The exact dates
for the show have not been
set, but the event will likely be
held in April.
Hayduk and FFA vice-pres-
ident Cody Gearheart have
both selected Give Burns the
Boot as their beneficiary. Both
are volunteer members of the
Adams County district five fire
department. Bobbie Jensen, a
hunting enthusiast, chose the
Rocky Mountain Elk Foun-
dation. TJ Spurgeon chose
the March of Dimes in honor
of his cousin who was born
prematurely and passed away
this year. Other organizations
students have selected include
the American Cancer Society,
Saint Jude’s Children’s Hospi-
tal and the Council for Abused
and Neglected Children.
There are more than 30 stu-
dents in FFA this year, which
according to Krueger is about
average. This project has
helped enroll new students in
FFA who are new to animal
husbandry. The experienced
students will help guide the
new members as they learn to
raise and show an animal for
auction.
“We have some of the kids in
FFA who have already shown
pigs before. We’re trying to
reach out to other kids to give
them experience in showing
Schools November 11, 2009

and bring new kids into FFA,”
Gearhart said. “We will be
putting on showing clinics to
teach them how to show and
prepare pigs for the fair. We’ll
show them how to properly
raise and feed pigs and moni-
tor their health.”
“We will weigh them once a
week and check their weight-
gain ratios,” Hayduk added.
“This is an awesome learn-
ing experience for those who
haven’t done it before. We’re
hoping they might go on to
participate in the fair.”
According to Gearheart the
FFA still needs sponsors to
purchase pigs for students and
to provide feed. Gearheart
has estimated that 20 tons of
feed will be required to raise
all 20 pigs up through auction,
including approximately 3
tons of starter feed, 15 tons of
grower and 2 tons of finisher.
“We need donations for the
feed, any donation will help,”
he said.
FFA members will be ap-
proaching local businesses for
donations of feed to support
their new project.
“We need also pre-arranged
buyers to go to the auction in
April,” Gearheart said, noting
so far Evergreen Implement
and Leonard Lusk have com-
mitted to buying a pig at the
auction.
“We hope to accomplish
a great way for people to get
involved in the community,”
Hayduk said of the new com-
munity service project. “We
hope businesses will come out
and support us.”
ALPS boasts high pass rate
Cindy Erickson
Contributing writer
A
LPS Principal Leon-
ard Lusk reported
on the success of the
recent math curriculum adop-
tion and transition for ALPS
student at Monday night’s
board meeting. The new cur-
riculum has shifted instruc-
tion from an individualized
plan to a “stand up teaching
class” method according to
Lusk.
“At this point, with about two
weeks to go, we think that
we’re going to have about
a 75 to 80 percent pass rate
which is high for ALPS stan-
dards,” said Lusk. “There will
be five or six [students] that
will petition to get back to the
high school at the end of the
trimester and they will be on-
line to step into second semes-
ter Algebra.”
Lusk reported there are 26
seniors who are currently on
line to graduate. Lusk said,
“It’s significantly more than
we’ve had in the past.”
High School Counselor
Amy Parris and High School
ESL Literacy Teacher Paul
Firth introduced several stu-
dent special guests who had
the chance to attend two dif-
ferent conferences focused on
inspiring and preparing mi-
grant students to continue on
to higher education.
Firth said, “Students get the
whole enchilada of what col-
lege is like.”
Lilian Amador and Rogelio
Gonzalez went to Washing-
ton State University for the
CASHE (Children of Aztlàn
Sharing Higher Education)
conference and Geovanny
Ramirez attended both the
CASHE conference and the
SEMY (Secondary Education
for Migrant Youth) confer-
ence at Columbia Basin Col-
lege. The students spoke of
their excitement for learning
online tips to look for scholar-
ships and the realization that

for them.
Ramirez said, “We learned
that if you want to go to col-
lege, you have to do every-
thing you can so you could
achieve that dream. I didn’t
really want to go to college,
but after the conference I
know that college is really
important.”
Amador said, “My parents
didn’t complete high school.
So it’s great that I’m going to
be the first one to go to col-
lege. Maybe after my parents
will be inspired to get their
GEDs.”
Assistant Superintendent
Mike Villarreal said encour-
aging the students, “Keep it
up. Don’t lose that feeling;
you have to remember it al-
ways. There’ll be bumps in
the road.”
Othello High School has
been busy. Assistant Principal
Carlos Gonzalez said they’ve
been working on creating pac-
ing guides for every course
that is offered at the high
school. According to Gon-
zalez the pacing guides are
to help teachers know what
will be taught, how it will be
taught, and how long is need-
ed for each subject. Principal
Matt Stevens said the transi-
tion from the old integrated
math curriculum to the new
traditional curriculum has
been a difficult one.
Stevens said, “We found

that in the integrated, critical
thinking, word problem fo-
cused [program] that a lot of
the basic skills that we learned
through repetition, that you
consider foundation, are non-
existent. We’re having to try
and mediate as well as keep
up with the pacing guides.”
The high school book club
is a huge success. According
to Counselor Amy Parris there
are about 70 students who
consistently attend the book
club sessions.
Stevens said, “One of the
difficulties we’re having is
that kids are learning to read
and enjoy it so much that
we’re actually losing books
out of the library to theft. Dai-
ly there are two to three of the
popular books that the com-
puter says that we have that
are not on the shelves.”
This past week the district
saw a lot of activity on the
Summit front. According to
Villarreal, Ruth McKenna
with WestEd was here going
over the tracker system that is
part of the district’s work with
the Summit grant. The system
tracks every goal, item, or task
to be accomplished, etc. and
gives feedback as to how well
they are doing towards com-
pleting each task. Vicki Bates,
who spearheads the Summit
grant for OSPI, was also visit-
ing and spent time working on
benchmark assessments.

Where Ellensburg found
most of its success was run-
ning the ball.
“We took away their pass-
ing game and they had to go
to their running game,” said
Hoell.
Othello’s Jeremy Cerrillo
zipped a 31-yard TD pass
to Chris Brunetti on the first
play of the fourth quarter to
bring the Huskies to within
one score, 20-14, but the Bull-
dogs put together a 14-play
drive that went deep into Hus-
kie territory and ate up nearly
eight minutes. They rushed
the ball on 12 of the 14 plays
and gained five first downs.
On third down at Othello’s
8-yard line, Brunetti knocked
down a pass attempt in the
end zone On fourth down,
Sterkel kicked a 25-yard field
goal with 4:40 remaining for a
23-14 lead.
The Huskies got the ball
twice more in the final min-
utes but were unable to capi-
talize. An Ellensburg inter-
ception with 1:14 left ended
the Huskies’ comeback hopes.
Throughout the contest,
Othello’s offense was slowed
by a physical and big Ellens-
burg defense.
“Size wise they were bigger
than we were but I don’t think
that really was a factor in this
game,” said Hoell.
The Huskies rushed for 105
yards on 30 carries.
“Ellensburg was able to shut
down our running game and
we did not execute as well in
the passing game as we would
have liked,” said Hoell.
Cerrillo was 2-for-9 passing
but his two completions were
for touchdowns. The first was
a 42-yarder to Lind late in the
first half to tie the score, 7-7.
Ellensburg drove 65-yards
and scored on its opening
possession on a 4-yard run by
Connor Meehan. The Bull-
dogs also scored to open the
second half with another 65-
yard drive capped by a 3-yard
play action TD pass from
Sterkel to Stephen Stein on
third-and-goal.
Sterkel intercepted a pass
near midfield on Othello’s
following possession and five
plays later he ran in a 9-yard
touchdown for a 20-7 lead af-
ter the extra point was missed.
at 1 p.m.
It is the fourth year in a
row the Huskies have faced
Colville in the state playoffs.
Othello won the last two at
Huskie Field including a 28-
21 victory a year ago.
“We have to be able to run
the ball but we have to be
able to throw at critical times
in the game,” said Hoell. “If
we’re able to run the ball,
play dominate defense and
eliminate mistakes we’ll be in
great shape.”
Ellensburg is the CWAC’s
#1 seed and is at home against

Ag alert...by mark schoesler of Agriculture – to “consider

Mark Schoesler
State Senator
Dear Neighbors,
The other day I was talk-
ing about bird hunting with
someone who’d read a news-
paper column from southwest
Washington about the state’s
efforts to rejuvenate pheasant
habitat.
The state fish and wildlife
department reports pheasant
hunting is better around ir-
rigated fields – and I would
agree, even though the edges
of fields don’t get watered as
much as they used to (thanks
to advances in irrigation tech-
nology that allow much more
precise delivery of water).
the experience of other states
and their organizational struc-
tures to identify consolida-
tion opportunities to improve
service delivery and reduce
costs.”
Of the states surveyed for
the resulting report only
Rhode Island does not have
a stand-alone ag department.
Maryland is folding its agri-
culture agency into its Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
(an idea proposed unsuccess-
fully in Maine in 2008).
A work group looked at
consolidating natural resource
agencies and other agencies’
natural resource-related activ-
ities (I count 18, there prob-
ably are more) into several
structures: two-agency, three-
agency and so on. In a three-
agency model, for example,
one of the three would be a
new Agriculture and Natural
Resource Land Management
Agency, combining programs
now at the ag department and
DNR with the habitat lands

It’s interesting that the state
Partnerships for Pheasants
program, which pays land-
owners to “plant and maintain
high quality habitat” and al-
low public hunting, is aimed
at enhancing pheasant habitat
without irrigation. Aren’t the
salmon in the Columbia and
Snake river basins willing to
share some water with their
feathered friends?
I managed to get out recent-
ly with the dog and the shot-
gun to check the status of our
pheasant population, and had
an enjoyable “hunting experi-
ence,” as the people in Olym-
pia would call it. There aren’t
too many better ways to spend
a fine fall day!
Coming into this year our
state had 470 boards and com-
missions. There was a lot of
talk during the legislative ses-
sion about significantly reduc-
ing that number, and the wheat
and barley commissions set a
noble example by voluntarily
merging, using language I in-
troduced in a Senate bill.
In the end the number of
boards and commissions was
reduced by just 18, with vows
made to look for other oppor-
tunities.
For example, the new state
budget instructed the state’s
natural resources agencies –
which include the Department
management now at the De-
partment of Fish and Wildlife;
conservation lands (natural
areas and natural resources
conservation areas); land-
owner technical assistance
provided by the State Conser-
vation Commission; certain
regulatory programs related
to working lands; and all for-
est fire prevention and control
programs.
The work group report
stresses these are “ideas,”
not recommendations, which
will, “along with other ideas
gathered from many sources...
help stimulate critical think-
ing among governmental
partners, decision-makers,
stakeholders, the public, and
elected officials.” Either way
I’ll be keeping an eye on this
to see if it produces legisla-
tion for the 2010 session or
surfaces in the governor’s up-
coming supplemental budget
proposal.
End to field burning tax
exemption proposed: your
thoughts?
For three years now the Joint
Legislative Audit and Review
Committee – the state counter-
part to the feds’ Government
Accounting Office -- has been
reviewing tax exemptions and
forwarding its recommenda-
tions to a group created by
the Legislature in 2006: the
ingtongrainalliance.com or
phone 509- 659-0610)
Citizens Commission for Per-
formance Measurement of
Tax Preferences. That com-
mission recently endorsed
JLARC’s recommendation
that the Legislature allow the
sales and use tax exemption
for field burning equipment
to expire, “because the transi-
tion to reduced air emissions
from agriculture burning has
occurred.” JLARC figures the
exemption, enacted in 2005
(RCW 82.08.841, 82.12.841)
allowed farmers to keep about
$2 million in 2008.
Olympia’s financial situa-
tion is so lousy that tax pref-
erences like this (which too
many lawmakers like to call
“loopholes”) are easy targets.
Do you believe it’s time to put
this particular exemption out
to pasture? Please write or
phone me with your opinion.

J
esus Guzman, the own-
er of Othello Custom
Swathing, began his
business on May 15, 2009.
Previously he was working as
an equipment operator driving
any type of vehicle for a vari-
ety of farmers.
He decided it was time to
own his own business and
work for himself.
He knew he would really
like the business and what he
was doing, that was another
reason why he decided to
go out on his own and begin
Othello Custom Swathing.
Guzman now operates with
four swathers, a John Deere
chopper and four semi trucks.
He also employees three oth-
ers to help him keep up with
his current jobs.
“I am really busy. It is go-
ing better than I thought,” said
Guzman.
Guzman is running almost
non-stop and during this in-
terview was also running a
chopper, swather and loading
Callahan
“I can cut any crop. I started
the season with hay, then triti-
cale, berries, bluegrass, peas,
beans, buckwheat and straw. I
can cut almost anything with
a swather. I am cutting beans
right now,” explained Guz-
man.
Othello Custom Swathing
has traveled to the following
locations to cut crops: Tri-
Cities, Connell, Moses Lake,
Mattawa and of course - the
Othello area. He will travel
wherever his services are
needed.
Transport is always includ-
ed in his pricing and charges
are based on acre number of
crops.
Each crop has its own price
- for example: hay is $20 per
acre and beans are $35 per
acre.
Othello Custom Swathing’s
largest job so far has been for
Ochoa Ag cutting 2,500 acres
of bluegrass. His smallest to
this point is only 120 acres.

return to working as a ma-
chinery mechanic for a few
months. Guzman has experi-
ence working on all types of
farming equipment and ma-
chinery.
When the crops are ready he
plans to begin cutting again as
soon as his customers call him
in the spring.
His family consists of his
wife and four daughters.
When not working he enjoys
swimming and traveling with
his family to see new things
and visit new places.
He came to the Othello area
at the age of 16 with his par-
ents.
His mother passed away a
few years ago and now his
father travels back and forth
from Mexico, always winter-
ing in Mexico. Guzman has
family scattered throughout
the United States.
