Group responds after
Swan v. CBC dismissed
By The Tribune
NESPELEM – Colville Members for
Justice said it is considering further action
and intends to continue to fight for tribal
members after Swan v. Colville Business
Council was dismissed in Tribal Court
this December.
“With this recent
adverse court decision
there is even more
determination to show
the injustices within
the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville
Reservation,” plaintiff
Yvonne Swan stated in
SWAN
the release.
“Yes, we are
saddened that yet again the members are
not heard,” tribal elder Tillie Gorr said,
“because we did deserve our right to be
heard in our court system. Other options
are being looked at and the members will
be more cautious of who they vote for in
the upcoming election.”
The case was an effort to compel the
CBC to distribute the remaining half of
the Tribes’ $193 million settlement with
the U.S. in a suit filed by the Tribes over
governmental trust mismanagement.

• Tribal member finds her calling
leading Native American Studies
program at university that once
turned American Indians away
BY LEANN BJERKEN
The Tribune
G
onzaga University’s Native
American Studies Program
is in its second year, and is
the first minor of it’s kind at the
university.
Proudly at the helm is tribal
member Laurie Arnold, who said the
destination was her calling.
In the months previous to her
tenure, she had worked at the
University of Notre Dame. She left
her position and came back to the
area and started searching for jobs,
when she found the opening for a
Native American Studies director.
“It just seemed like it was meant to
be,” she said.
The program she heads is unique at
the Spokane university.
“There are no other ethnic studies
majors or minors on campus,”
the 44-year old said. “Classes are
consistently full, and I think that
really speaks to student interest and
word of mouth about the program.”
Arnold’s interest in history includes
Gonzaga itself, a school that was originally envisioned by
Jesuit missionaries as a place where Native students could
come to continue their education.
“Unfortunately by the time the school opened, nonnative settlers and businessmen had put pressure on the
university to keep the school whites only. Jesuits who
brought Native students to enroll were turned away,” said
Arnold.
“We are still searching through our records, trying to
find the names of those first Native students to enroll,” she
said. “No luck yet.”
The university currently has a small, but vibrant Native
American student population. While there are no formal
organizations, according to Arnold, students do gather

The recommendation passed

NESPELEM – The Colville Tribal
Fish and Wildlife department issued
a tribal member hunting and trapping
regulation change for the 2014-2015
wolf hunting season on the Colville
Reservation via Facebook, Jan. 2.
“Effective January 2, 2015 the
Omak Lake Wolf Management Zone
will be open for wolf hunting with
a quota of three wolves,” reads the
statement.
The statement further noted the
area between Highway 97 and the
Okanogan River will remain closed
and all other regulations pertaining to
wolf hunting will remain in effect.
The Colville Tribal Business
Council approved wolf hunting on
the south half of the reservation in
November 2012.

activities that are open to all students.
“There are usually several Native students in my classes
each term, mainly from this region,” said Arnold.
“Non-Native students have so few opportunities to
engage in history, and learn about things like sovereignty.
So many stereotypes are perpetuated because people
don’t understand these issues. It’s rewarding to see
students learning about these things, how it deepens their
understanding, and changes their perspective,” she said.
Arnold says that her student’s interests vary widely,
everything from politics, culture and art, to issues of
activism and language restoration. However, “The one

AAOA ask for budget
modification to keep Meal
Sites running
NESPELEM – The Colville Tribal
Agency Area Office on Aging
Director Lisa Adolph reported to
the Colville Business Council’s
Health and Human Services’
committee to ask for a budget
modification to continue the four
reservation senior meal sites.
“When I started in May, I
learned we only fund one senior
meal site, but we operate four,”
said Adolph. “So we have been
over spending every month. We
are at a point where we can’t
continue any more and we will
have to close down all but one.”
Her budget modification
recommendation passed through
the committee unanimously and is
expected to pass through Special
Session on Thursday, Jan. 15.
Adolph also presented on
several grants and contracts
important to the funding of
AAOA.
CBC member Nancy Johnson
commended Adolph on her work
at the program.
“Since you’ve been over there,
we haven’t got as many emails
as we had in the past concerning
AAOA,” said Johnson. “Hats off
to you for getting the program in
compliance.”
Adolph reported the program
has been working hard with state
auditors concerning compliance
requirements of funding sources.
The state reviews the program
on a quarterly basis to ensure
compliance.
Johnson asked Adolph to return
to CBC Chambers on Jan. 26 to
report the findings of the most
recent state audit.
“I think as a council we have
to look at those findings and
issues to see if there is a way to
stop some of those challenges
that you have to work with,” said
Johnson. “Without knowing what
those findings are and what you’re
dealing with, we don’t know how
to help, what to lobby for.”
WA tribal casinos to no
longer accept EBT cards
OLYMPIA (AP) – Tribal casinos
in Washington will no longer cash
welfare cards under an agreement
with the state Gambling
Commission.
The commission said Tuesday
that 27 of the 29 federally
recognized tribes in the state
have agreed to amend gambling
agreements to ensure that all
cash dispensing and point-of-sale
machines refuse electronic benefit
cards. The cards are intended to
help the needy buy food.
It’s one of several amendments
the commission is recommending
to the Legislature.

elcome back, I trust
your holidays were
enjoyable. By the time
you read this the salary survey will
have been implemented effective
January 11, 2015. This act
contributes nearly three (3) million
new dollars back into the local and
regional economies via many of
you, the hardworking employees
of the Colville Confederated
Tribes. We encourage you to buy
local with your additional income.
The idea behind this strategy
was not only invigorate the

and experience. Many want to come
back to the reservation but couldn’t
before,” said CBC Jack Ferguson.
“Ultimately, I think we have a very
good product in front of you today,”
said Finley.
The first recommendation included
a salary policy, defining the survey’s
process and including renewal of a
tribal minimum wage, definition of
step increases and how employees
will achieve those increases.
The second recommendation
included a total cost, not to exceed
more than $3 million for the current
fiscal year.
“A lot of our people, our tribal
members, are loyal. They stay and
work for less and less each year
because the cost of living rises,” said
Andy Joseph, Jr., CBC.
HR and the administrative staff
began working on the survey in
spring 2014, said Deputy Executive
Director Patrick Tonasket.
Administration, HR and a private
consulting firm sought through every
position, determining accuracy of job
descriptions in relationship to actual
duties of employees.
According to Tonasket, the
team created competitive pay
scales for each position based on
regional standards. With the help of
department directors, the group then
looked into the years of services,
resumes and qualifications of each
employee to gauge the employee’s
new pay level within the established
scales.
Some tribal employees will see
large increases in their pay, others
will see small increases and still
others will see no change at all, said
Tonasket.
Tonasket further noted some
employees deserved much higher
E&E Chair discusses salary view and TERO
trainings, hopes to bring members back home
enhance the quality of life in
our membership but also to
contribute to the Tribes’ overall
competitiveness in the job
market. We realize there are
many challenges in recruiting
professionals to work in our
Indian communities and low
salaries should not be one of
them. However, it will be a
long road ahead realizing it is
hard for people to transition
life to rural areas and that it
may be difficult for spouses and
partners to also find work on the
reservation.
We currently face workforce
shortages in the healthcare arena
and we realize that members
are more likely to seek services
from a service provider of their
own race because of personal
preference, and not only because
of geographic proximity, but there
is light at the end of the tunnel.
I am anticipative of report from
Mr. Hodges who has submitted
a research proposal “People

college” set to close March 31st,
2015. I hope we can bring some
our qualified Tribal members back

mine.

increases than they were given, but
the budget restrained those instances.
Concerning a minimum wage, the
policy mirrors Washington’s, taking
into consideration Washington will
likely be dramatically increasing the
state minimum wage in 2016.
“Traditionally, each year
Washington increases their minimum
wage, so the policy asks for
permission to automatically increase
our wage unless CBC asks us not
to do so,” said Finley. “I believe
this will give all programs and
departments time to prepare.”
CBC Nancy Johnson expressed
concerns of sequestration.
“From everything I am reading
we are not going to have impacts
of sequestration this year, but
the following year we will,” said
Johnson.
Johnson further noted she had
received calls from tribal members
concerned about salary information
posted to Facebook. Executive
Director Francis Somday and Finley
noted they too had received calls.
“I don’t know how they got the
information. I don’t know if the
info posted online is accurate,” said
Somday, noting a state law allows
publication of all state employee
salary information but Colville Tribal
law does not.
“We have almost the opposite,”
said Somday. “We have a law that
says we cannot post information
related to any employee.”
Implementation to individual
salaries began Jan. 11 with the
Colville Tribes second pay period in
2015. Potential step increases will
begin with FY 2015.
Tonasket warned implementation
is a lengthy process, considering
the large population size of the
tribal employee and may not be
immediately visible on tribal pay
stubs.
gaining. The Department of
Labor released an announcement
for $100 million in Apprenticeship
Opportunity Funding.
And last but not least, the
acclaimed job skills bank is under
way with the Ultipro software
company. This software will be
a game-changer in recruitment
and retention. It will also help the
Tribes gather valuable workforce
data that is employee focused.
Applicant information will help
us identify workforce shortages
before they happen. It will also
help us focus on grants and

the capacity to excel.

within the reservation boundaries.
Holford expects the quarter’s official final numbers, which
are still being tallied, to increase to 21 or 22 MBF.
“Last year at this time,” said Holford, “we produced 18
MBF.”
Holford attributes the increase to the rush to salvage timber
from the Devil’s Elbow complex, which burned roughly 26,000
acres in 2014. Salvage efforts are expected to continue into the
summer of 2015.
Currently, there are 15 active sales on the reservation.
Another six sales are in the planning process.
ROADS
According to Holford’s report, 18 miles of roads were
laid out for timber sale activities, and one-quarter mile of
road access was defined in access agreements with private
companies in the final quarter of 2014.
Another two miles of roadway was closed.
TRIBAL GREENHOUSE
An issue with a cold storage unit at the Colville Tribal
Greenhouse has come up, and Holford noted Forestry is
working to comply with Qwam Qwmpt Plan requirements
calling for improvements to the institution.
Currently, most of the seedlings are set to go to rehabilitation
efforts on the Devil’s Elbow Complex. Colville forest practices
have 1 million seedlings in storage, and private companies
purchased another 54,000 in 2014, but the faulty storage units
put tribal forest practices at risk.
“Seedlings are a costly venture,” said Holford. “It does not
just impact what you have down there, but what you have
planned on down the line.”
Plans are expected to come to CBC soon concerning
improvements at the greenhouse.
FIRE MANAGEMENT
In the final quarter of 2014 Mount Tolman Fire Center
completed 983 acres of prescribed burn units, including pile
and broadcast burning. In the year, MTFC completed 360 acres
of Wildland Urban Interface work.
Further, rehabilitation of Devil’s Elbow and other fires
from the 2014 fire season has resulted in 56 miles of fire line
rehabilitation, four miles of road rehabilitation, distribution of
30,000 pounds of grass seed and four miles of fence repair.

history
On February 26, 1938, the United
States federal government approved
the Confederated Tribes of the
Colville Reservation’s Constitution and
By-Laws and from this document,
the Colville Business Council was
established as the governing board of
the Tribes.
The Confederated Tribes’
Constitution divides the Colville
Indian Reservation into four voting
districts based on the former
aboriginal territories of the 12 groups
or bands of Colville Indian People
including: the Omak District, the
Nespelem District, the Keller District,
and the Inchelium District.
Eligible adult Colville tribal
members may register in one of the
districts to vote in the yearly tribal
election proceedings for seven open
leadership positions. On-reservation
voting takes place at designated
polling sites in the communities
of Omak, Nespelem, Keller, and
Inchelium. Eligible tribal voters may
also choose to vote by an established
absentee voting method.
In addition, eligible adult Colville
tribal members may become certified
candidates in the yearly election for
seven of the 14 two-year council
terms. The election process includes
a Primary Election held in May prior
to the General Election in June.
In mid-July, the seven newly
elected tribal council members
are seated in a special ceremony
conducted by the Colville Business
Council and the Bureau of Indian
Affairs in the council’s chambers at
Nespelem.
The entire 14-member tribal
council conducts its reorganization
meeting directly after the seven
new council members have taken
their oath of office. During this
meeting, the Colville Business Council
selects its Executive Committee,
the chairman, vice-chairman and
secretary, and the chairpersons for
each of the council committees that
will govern tribal operations during
the next 12 months.
The Colville Business Council
oversees a multi-million dollar
administration from its headquarters
on the Colville Indian Reservation in
Nespelem, Washington. Enhancing
the quality of life for the Colville
Indian people and protecting the
resources of the Colville Indian
Reservation are the monumental
considerations addressed in each
yearly fiscal cycle by the tribal
council.
Members of the Colville Business
Council are salaried while in office.

TRIBAL TRIBUNE
FAREWELLS
Sarah May (Sadie) Campobasso Merritt the next 58 years. Ira worked as a logger and
Sarah May (Sadie)
Campobasso Merritt
passed away peacefully
on December 30, 2014,
in Boise Idaho. Sadie
was born on May 1, 1920
at home near Republic,
Washington, to Michael
and Katherine Lafleur
Campobasso, the fourth
of ten children. Sadie
was a member of the
Colville Confederated Tribes and grew up on
the reservation near West Fork on the Sanpoil
River. She spent two years at St. Mary’s
Mission which is now the Pascal Sherman
Indian School. She graduated from Republic
High School and from Northwest Business
College in Spokane. As a teenager, she was
proud to have worked as a fire lookout for the
tribe on Strawberry Mountain. She often said
that she “wouldn’t trade her childhood with
anyone’s.”
Sadie moved to Seattle during World War
II and there she met Ira Merritt recently from
Townsend, Montana. Romance ensued,
and they soon married. Shortly after, Ira
was drafted and served in the Army for the
duration of the war. Sadie Moved in with
her mother-in-law, Lessie Merritt. Daughter,
Marie, was born while Ira was training at
Camp Pendleton.
Sadie’s sister, Marie, also came to Seattle
during the war to find employment. Family
legend has it that while Marie was visiting
Sadie, mother-in-law Lessie decided that
Marie would make a good wife for Ira’s
brother Sylvan. She was right. Marie and
Sylvan met, and they too were married;
Sylvan soon followed his brother into the
Army and on to the South Pacific.
Thankfully, both brothers returned from the
war. The former Campobasso sisters, now
both Merritt’s, brought their husbands home
to Republic. Many Merritt’s followed and still
live in and around Republic.
Sadie and Ira were soon off on new
adventures. In 1950, they moved to Warm
Springs, OR. Catherine was born in 1950 and
John was born in 1953. They bought 40 acres
and a “modern” house just south of Madras,
OR, in 1954. This would be their home for
car salesman, and they both worked on the
family farm raising pigs, cows, chickens and
growing alfalfa and a big garden. In the mid
1950’s they bought a service station. After Ira
was injured in a logging accident, Sadie ran
everything. She ran the service station, the
farm, and three kids until Ira was back on his
feet.
Gradually, the livestock on the farm was
replaced by cars. In the 1960’s, Sadie and
Ira became the proprietors of Ira’s Sales and
Service where they ran a towing and trucking
business and wrecking yard. This partnership
lasted until Ira’s death in 2002 when Sadie
sold the business to long-time friend Bob
McDonald who continues to use the original
name. Sadie stayed in Madras until health
problems led her to move in with her daughter,
Marie Whaley, and son-in-law Ron Whaley in
Richland, WA and then in Boise, ID.
Sadie lived a long, happy, and prosperous
life. She worked hard, loved her family and
friends, and was generous to all. She was
preceded in death by her beloved husband,
Ira; her parents, her sisters, Elmina Gerlinger,
Margie Caldwel, and baby Kathleen
Campobasso; her brothers, Lawrence
(Larry), Clarence, Mitchell (Mickey), and
Harold Campobasso. She is survived by
her daughters, Marie Whaley of Boise, ID;
Catherine Merritt of Three Rivers, OR; son,
John Merritt of Madras, OR; sister, Marie
Merritt of Wenatchee, WA; brother, Robert
Campobasso of Nespelem, WA; son-in-law,
Ron Whaley of Boise ID; brother-in-law, Cash
Merritt (Roxanne) of Republic, WA; sisterin-law, Shar Merritt of Boise, ID; brotherin-law, Sandy Caldwell of Madras, OR;
grandchildren, Chadd Whaley; Lisa Marko
(Scott); Rachele Merritt Meehan (Sean);
Bryan Whaley (Karen); Alison Wild (Mike);
Anthony Merritt; Sarah Merritt-Weisner
(Dave); Haley Merritt; and Kaitlin Morrison.
She also leaves 15 great grandchildren, one
great-great grandchild, and many nieces and
nephews.
A memorial service will be held in the
summer.
Henry Gene Andruss
Henry Gene Andruss was born on October
24th, 1934 in Melborne, Arkansas, and passed
away peacefully on December 23rd, 2014.
He left Arkansas when he was three years
old, lived in California briefly, then lived in
Wenatchee until 2000 when he and his wife
moved to Malott.
He was a veteran
of the U.S. Air
Force, serving as a
paratrooper in the
Korean War. He
was awarded a
Congressional Medal
of Honor for his
bravery that saved the
lives of 40 men.
He was active in
the Stick Games in
this area, and also
loved to fish and make potato salad.
He was preceded in death by his parents,
Minnie Jane and Henry Louis Andruss, and all
his siblings—three brothers and two sisters.
He is survived by his wife, Maxine, and
three daughters, Tina Pope, Teresa Vaughan,
and Trina Andruss, one son, Henry Jr., two
step-daughters, Ruth Charlie and Myra
Harmon, one step-son, Francis Abraham,
and numerous grandchildren and great
grandchildren.
Richard J. Wippel
Richard James Wippel, 58 of Disautel,
entered into eternal rest on the evening of
Friday, December 19, 2014 in Grand Coulee,
WA. He was born in Ellensburg, WA to
Robert Wippel and Mary Miller-Wippel on
March 12, 1956. Richard Wippel attended
school in Omak, and Pateros in his youth
then graduated from Lake Roosevelt High
school in 1974. As a young boy Richard was
raised in the Methow
with his family. He
and his cousins would
spend all their time
exploring the Methow
valley. He was active
in the Boy Scouts, and
earned the Carnegie
Award for heroism
for saving the life of
his best friend’s sister.
During his teenage
years Richard lived
with Pat and Bev Morin, and remained close
with them throughout his life. Richard was
well known for his basketball skills. After
High school Richard played for the National
Indian basketball team, traveling the country
playing the game he loved. In 1978 he
married Regina Moulton, together they had
three children Christopher Wippel, Candice
Wippel, and Chalice Arden all of Wilbur, WA.
Richard held many jobs including Helitack fire
fighter, Logger, Heavy equipment operator,
Diesel mechanic. Most recently he worked
for Gebbers Orchards in Brewster, WA. In
his spare time dad enjoyed, salmon fishing,
playing on his newly acquired equipment
and driving one of his many toys. Richard
loved spending time with his family and
friends, Dad took care of his mother until her
passing in 2013. He was an active member
in the surrounding communities. He was part
of the Owners and Jockeys association with
the World Famous Suicide Race. Dad would
drive us all crazy by starting the race in the
middle of the hill and running for his life to
avoid getting trampled by the racers and their
horses. This past summer he was committed
to helping in the cleanup of the Carlton
Complex fire. These last few years he enjoyed
many adventures like his trip to the Redwood
Forrest and Hawaii with his companion Robin.
He was looking forward to his upcoming trip
to Italy. Dad was always willing to lend a hand
and help those who were in need. He had a
large and loving heart. Dad had a unique sense
of humor and he will be greatly missed by all
who knew him. Richard is survived by his
children Yancy Epperson (Darcy), Christopher
Wippel (Hayley), Candice Wippel, and
Chalice Arden (Gregg), his brothers Ernie
Williams (Roberta), Randy Lewis, companion
Robin Somday, and Mom Bev Morin. Many
grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He is predeceased by his Father Robert
Wippel, Mother Mary Miller-Marchand,
Brother Jerry Wippel, and Sister Mary Lou
Wippel, Dad Pat Morin Sr., and his Uncle
Lewis Miller Sr. Richards’ family would like

thing they all share is a willingness to
learn more,” said Arnold.
Arnold showcased her
willingness to learn more at Keller
Elementary, before attending high
school in Wilbur.
“I was the first person to hold
both senior class president and
student body president,” she said.
She went on to earn her
Bachelor’s degree in history from
Oregon State University, and from
there she attended Arizona State
University, earning her Ph.D in
history.
Arnold remembers her hometown
fondly, “As a young person, it gave
me unique perspective. I feel that my
time growing up on the reservation
gave me a more informed world view
than many people I know,” she said.
This month Arnold looks forward
to welcoming local artist and tribal
member Ric Gendron’s exhibition,
“Rattlebone,” to Gonzaga’s Jundt Art
Museum.
A long time admirer of the artist,
Arnold is excited to see Gendron’s
work. Gonzaga is the traveling
exhibit’s last stop.
“The subjects he chooses, the
colors he uses, every small detail
speaks to the vibrant nature of our
culture,” she said.
“I’ll be teaching a class in
conjunction with the exhibit
called ‘Native American Art and
Performance.’ I’m hoping he will be
able to come to the class and speak
with the students.”
The exhibit, which runs from
Jan. 23 through April 2, will feature
paintings from Gendron’s 30-year
career, as well as cultural objects
from the artist’s family.
The museum’s exhibitions are
always free and are open to the public
Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.-4
p.m. For exhibition times and general
museum information, please call
(509) 313-6843 or visit the museum
online at http://www.gonzaga.edu/

Arnold’s book “Bartering with
the bones of their dead; the Colville
Confederated Tribes and termination”
was published by University of
Washington Press in 2012.

tribe or the Government, beneficial interests (life estates), and interests where no tribe has
jurisdiction (public domain).

Selling your land voluntarily on the Umatilla Indian Reservation will assist CTUIR to develop a
stronger land base for Tribal use in: farming, expansion of wildlife or riparian areas, Tribal
preservation, access to Tribal fee property, food resources, etc. thereby creating opportunities
to make CTUIR lands more productive for the Tribe and the community. Any land interest you
sell remains in trust with ownership will be transferred to CTUIR to:
⋇ Reduce highly fractionated ownership on allotments
⋇ Increase CTUIR land ownership
⋇ Increase CTUIR sovereignty and self-determination

MALLOT – It’s not
every day one gets the
opportunity to save a life.
Tribal member Mandy
Carson however can say
she helped save three.
On the morning
of January 5 as Rose
Vallee’s home started to
go up in flames, Carson
who lives across the
street in the small town
of Mallot rushed over to
the burning house to see
if anyone was inside.
“I started screaming
fire, fire,” said Carson.
“I almost walked away,
thinking no one was in
there.”
However, Vallee and
her two young children,
both babies still in
diapers, were in the
house at the time.
“The window burst
open as I was in front
of it,” said Carson. “I
climbed up and asked is
there anybody in there!?”
Vallee then poked her
head out, answered yes
and began handing her
children through the
window to Carson one by
one before crawling out
herself.
Within seconds of
getting out, the whole
house was completely
engulfed in flames.
Vallee and her two
children were transported
to Mid-Valley Hospital
in Omak. The cause
of the fire is still being
determined.
“I did what I needed
to do,” said Carson. “I
wasn’t thinking of the
house and roof collapsing
I was thinking, there’s
kids in here and we need
to get them out.”

TRIBAL TRIBUNE
GIRLS’ BASKETBALL
Okanogan girls on 11-game winning streak
BY SHANE MOSES
The Tribune
The Lady Bulldogs are on a 11 game win streak
including wins at the Eagle Holiday Classic where
they knocked off perennial 2B powerhouse Colfax 5045 then beat host school West valley 48-47 on Dec. 30.
In their next three games, Okanogan continued
winning in dominating fashion, first at rival Brewster
67-10, and at home against Omak, 63-30 and Liberty
Bell 88-31 to put the Lady Bulldogs (11-0, 6-0 CWA
2B) at the top of the CWA 2B North Division.
“I thought my girls came out and played very hard.
They came out ready, and we played them pretty even
most of the time,” said Omak Pioneers head coach
Roland Hansen, speaking on the Okanogan game. “I
think it was a big step forward for us tonight but we
still have an awful lot to work on.”
Omak finding its groove
At the mid-point of the season, Omak (4-6, 0-1
CTL) looks to find their grove and turn the corner
with a barrage of league games ahead. After losing to
cross-town rival Okanogan 63-30 on Jan 8., The Lady
Pioneers got back to it’s winning ways with a 54-40
win over Liberty Bell on Jan. 10.
“For the most part we played pretty good defense.
I thought we played hard,” said Bryan Boesel, head
coach for Okanogan, speaking on the Omak game.
“In the second quarter, when we started pressing, full
quart, half quart we put 30 points up in the quarter and
the team just played really hard after that.”
Lake Roosevelt loses to
Brewster
The Lady Raiders took part in the Eagle Holiday
Classic where they ran into six-time 1B State
Champion Colton, losing 64-33 and then losing in a
close one to 4A Lakeland of Idaho, 35-31 on Dec. 30.
Getting back on the winning track, the Lady Raiders
opened the new year with a win over league opponent
Tonasket 43-27 on Jan 6., and then held a five point
lead heading into the fourth quarter but couldn’t hold
on to it and lost a to Brewster 38-34 on Jan 8.

stretch of league games with eight of their last nine
coming against league foes.
Inchelium in second place in league
Nearing the mid-point of the season, the Lady
Hornets picked up wins over Curlew 45-39, at Valley
Christian 50-44 and went down to the wire with
Wellpinit, of the Spokane Indian Reservation.
Inchelium held a five point lead heading into the
fourth quarter but could not hold off Wellpinit as they
went on to lose 40-38. The Lady Hornets (5-3, 4-3
NE 1B North) sit in second place in the NE 1B North
Division, behind idle Republic, now 11-0 on the year.
BOYS’ BASKETBALL
Lake Roosevelt gets big win over 2A East Valley
BY SHANE MOSES
The Tribune
The Raiders boys’ traveled out to the Eagle
Holiday Classic over the winter break where they
picked up a big win over 2A East Valley 58-52 and
then fell in overtime to up and coming Colfax 54-58
on Dec. 30.
Lake Roosevelt (5-5, 3-2 CWA 2B) lost their first
league game of the year to rival Brewster at home
77-51 on Jan 6. But they’ve kept themselves in the
mix as they gear up for the long haul of league games
to come, as their next eight of nine games are league
contests.
Okanogan bounces back from
consecutive losses
The Bulldogs started their season on a seven game
winning streak, blowing out their opposition. They
didn’t see their first loss of the year until they played
the West Valley Eagles 69-67 in the Eagle Holiday
Classic on Dec. 30. They then suffered another defeat
on the road to league rival Brewster 70-53 on Jan. 6.
After losing two in a row, the Bulldogs have used
tight smothering defense to win their last two games,
home wins against Omak 71-28 and Liberty Bell 7853 to go to (10-2, 6-1 CWA 2B) as of Mon. Jan 12.
“We didn’t shoot very well in the first half. It
became contagious,” said Mike Carlquist head coach
for Okanogan speaking on the Omak game. “We were
14 for 40 in the first half. In the second half we got
out and got more lay ups, we have some big kids,
there going though some things, there young.”
Omak still searching for first win
Trying to find their grove, the Pioneers boys’
basketball team has gotten off to a rocky start, losing
their first seven games of the year. But with a barrage
of league games to come, perhaps the Pioneers can
still find a way to turn their season around.
Coming off loses to cross-town rival Okanogan 7128 and Liberty Bell 60-27, Omak (0-7, 0-1 CTL) with

10 games remaining on the year looks to build some
momentum as they host six of their next 10 games at
home.
“I liked how my bench guys came on in the second
half and really played hard for us,” said Omak head
coach Nathan Covey, speaking on the Okanogan
game. “Lot of things we need to work on, defensively
we got to step up a little bit, get some rebounds, get
more aggressive. Were young but we’ll get there.”
Inchelium tries to end seven game losing
streak
The Hornets won their first game of the year 5646 over Northport and have gone cold since, losing
seven in a row. They look to turn things around with
a potentially big win over their rivals from across the
river.
However, Wellpinit had different things in mind as
they started the game out on a 15-0 run and held off
a late second half rally by the Hornets to win 84-71
on Jan. 10. The road for Inchelium (1-7, 1-5 NE 1B
North) doesn’t get any easier, as five of their next
nine games are on the road to close out the year.
Wilbur-Creston looking to continue
winning ways
The Wildcats started out their season on a five game
winning streak, then lost their first game of the year
to league Northwest Christian 89-53 on Dec. 16, then
went on another five game winning streak to get to 101. Their last two games however, didn’t go as planned,
losing to a tough 12-1 Liberty Lancers team 68-44,
followed by another close defeat to 2B contenders
Colfax 57-52 on Jan. 10.
W-C currently sits in second place in the Northeast
2B North Division, as they trail NW Christian by one
game, to put them at (10-3, 5-3 NE 2B North).

Wilbur-Creston girls struggle
After starting out the year at 2-5, the Lady Wildcats

record could be a lot different as they have lost five
games by five points or less. In their most recent
action, the Lady Wildcats opened the year with a wins
over Odessa-Harrington 47-46 on Jan. 3 and Liberty
49-46 on Jan., 9.

NCC News and Reviews
PRESS RELEASE
I would like to say lem lempt to everyone who contributed
to the Community Christmas Dinner and Winter Celebration
on Dec. 21. We had 300-350 people who attended this year.
It would not have been possible but through the team work
effort of several tribal departments, donations and help from
a lot of really good people. I posted at the event everyone
who made contributions. I would post here but this article
would become quite long. See,...I was worried we would
not have enough gifts or food. However, to our surprise
everyone was able to eat plenty! We were really happy to
have Santa come and visit us this year. The youth drum
group sang a song for Santa as he came dancing in pow
wow style, it was a joy to see the kids so excited. We had
door prizes and everyone who came got a free ticket. There
were so many gifts that the ones left over were given away
at the New Years pow wow the following weekend.
During the dinner we gave recognition to everyone who
had came and helped us through this past year. Certificates
were made to all our helpers. I want to personally say
thank you to every man and woman who has came to the
community center to offer classes such as; bead work,
cooking, sewing, drumming, sweats, youth basketball, music
classes, tutoring, exercise classes and beyond. Youth time is
valuable and you are appreciated. I hope more people will
feel welcome to join us this year.
I want to acknowledge my staff. I supply the vision
and direction however it is my work force that supplies
the power and the strength necessary to get things
accomplished. The foundation we have completed will set
a strong base for us to climb to a higher level this year. I am
really excited that we are finally at this phase we have long
worked toward.
With that, please feel welcome to drop by and pay a visit
sometime. I am glad to show you around and answer any
questions and here what ideas you may have to contribute.
I am glad to support you however I can. Thursday February
5th at 4pm. Please come join myself, 4-H, and Ricky
Gabriel as we will begin the Lil Warrior’s Archery Club.
We have all struggled in many forms, like a blade of grass
we are easy to be torn. Take notice to the braid of sweet
grass. How strong it becomes when it is tightly bundled
together and braided. If we form our bonds as community
and families. To create that strength and the good medicine
that comes from that. My people, lets have a good year, let
go of old hard feelings and move forward supporting one
another and encouraging our youth to learn our culture and
traditions. lem lempt
