WEEKEND EDITION

Last Sunday, March 18, 2012, was a special milestone in the life of a Yakima County Appaloosa horse. Very few horses ever celebrate a 35th

birthday, but that’s just what Sam’s Show Boy (Sam’s Son x Dutch Mama), did!

Sam was bred by Q. G. and Jocelyn Goodwin and born at Goodwin Appaloosa’s on South Hill Road in Sunnyside in 1977. In his early days he was sent to California to race, but that owner quickly real-ized this horse enjoyed the slower pace in life.

Soon he was purchased by the Sutton family of Selah, in 1981, where he was formally broke and trained by John and Ricky Turner of Selah. In 1990 he was purchased by the Devine family of Selah for daughter, Kelly, as an 11th

birthday gift. He became her 4-H performance horse proj-ect and was shown in the Yakima County 4-H Program from 1990 to 1997, winning numerous trophies and rib-bons.

“He always fell asleep dur-ing the fi rst class of the day,

photo courtesy of Michelle Koffler…Life Rhythm PicturesKelly Adamson of Grandview, with children Justin, 6, and Brianne, 2, enjoy a quiet moment with Sam, the Appaloosa that’s been in Adamson’s life since 1990.

Sam reaches rare milestone

Showmanship,” recalls Kelly. “Sometimes his knees would even begin to buckle as if he were about to fall over!”

But once under saddle, he did it all; Hunt Seat, Western,

Trail, and even a few years of Jumping.

In the summer of 1997, Sam and Kelly, along with other youth members of the Central Washington Appaloosa Horse

Club, participated in the Chief Joseph Trail Ride sponsored by the National Appaloosa Horse Club. They rode over 100 miles in fi ve days along the Continental Divide trail

between Montana and Idaho.“It was a tough trail, we

rode through every kind of weather, and the days were long, but Sam was always worried about being ‘left behind’ by his buddies, so he would keep going strong to stay near the head of the pack,” remembers Kelly from 15 years ago..

“He was 20 that year, prob-ably one of the older horses on that type of ride. For a horse, 20s are ‘old’ and many horses never see 30,” the Selah native said.

Kelly left home for college in the fall of 1997, and Sam joined her in Pullman for her sophomore year. “Riding in the wheat fi elds, just the two of us, seeing deer, experienc-ing freedom and peace was just a special time for me, an experience I’m very glad I had,” says Kelly.

After that year, Sam was “retired” to the pasture where he continues to live in Selah.

Today Sam is mostly blind and hard of hearing, but he knows every inch of the barn and pasture he’s called home

for the past 22 years, so he gets around just fi ne.

Over the years his coat pat-tern has changed from once having the distinct Appaloosa spots and “blanket” on his rump, to being almost entire-ly grey.

He is receiving attention from a younger generation now, too. Kelly’s children, Justin (6) and Brianne (2), of Grandview, enjoy petting and brushing him and an oc-casional ride on his back. He shares his pasture with an Arabian buddy, AP Astar, who is also getting along in years now at age 25.

Sam is unoffi cially one of the oldest horses in the coun-ty, according to Sam’s farrier, Mike Wright, who only trims one other horse likely as old as Sam.

The old-timer isn’t with-out some medical issues, but he’s doing quite well with the extra special care he receives daily from Kelly’s parents, Steve and Donna.

“We wish Sam a happy 35th birthday . . . with more to come!” Kelly said.

Rod Smith/Daily Sun NewsThis is the time of the year wind machines and smudge pots are called into action as the temperatures drop below freezing at night and farmers need to protect the delicate buds on the trees from frost damage. Using sprinklers to cover the trees in a blanket of ice is another way of insulating the buds from the freezing cold.

Cold weather sentinels

In recent weeks there have been many ques-tions regarding possible open public meetings act violations by the city of Sunnyside.

The questions came to the forefront when Councilwoman Theresa Hancock shared in-formation from an executive session that took place about two weeks ago. She shared that information with the city’s attorneys, the city manager, the city’s insurance carrier and the local media.

Toby Nixon of the Washington Coalition of Open Government and Tim Ford of the Washington State Attorney General’s Offi ce both weighed in on the issue.

Nixon said Hancock was correct to com-plain about the dealings behind closed doors when he learned the details of what transpired during the executive session.

He said the discussions that took place during the closed meeting “…did not fall under (RCW) 42.30.110(1)(g), as cited by Councilman Jim Restucci at the Saturday, Feb. 25, meeting.

“However, I can think of a couple of valid ways this information could have been shared with council privately,” said Nixon.

He said the city council could have con-

High speed chase nets five suspects soughtfor burglaries

Five people are in custody today after Yakima County Sheriff’s dep-uties made fi ve arrests yesterday, Thursday, as suspects in a recent string of Lower Valley burglaries.

Last night the Yakima County Sheriff’s offi ce received a report that several persons in a black sport util-ity vehicle had been seen that was related to break-in at a residence on South Fisher Road, near Mabton.

A witness followed the suspect vehicle as it came into Mabton. Mabton police saw the suspect ve-hicle being driven recklessly in town and had been watching for it because of the burglary report.

Mabton police attempted to stop the vehicle, which fl ed westbound on State Route 22 at speeds of about 100 mph for about 10 miles as the vehicle was driven into oncom-ing lanes of traffi c, nearly causing several collisions, according to Sgt. Mike Russell with the Sheriff’s of-fi ce.

The pursuit ended after a Yakima County Sheriff’s deputy using stop sticks defl ated the tires of the sus-pect vehicle.

sulted with the city attorney before discussing such matters as whether or not bar-gaining units might hold a no-confi dence vote regarding City Manager Mark Gervasi, as occurred on Feb. 25 in ex-ecutive session.

Consulting the city attorney regarding matters that may or may not result in a lawsuit is always advisable, according to Nixon.

He said none of the other things allegedly discussed on Feb. 25 would have been allowed under executive ses-sion topics.

Those other things men-tioned involved discussions about employees without forewarning, which didn’t give those employees the op-tion to have matters discussed in open session.

The executive session was called when council members began the discussion regard-ing whether or not Gervasi could continue to serve the city on an interim basis after the date of his retirement.

Mayor Mike Farmer said Councilman Jason Raines had some concerns regarding Gervasi’s performance and ability to perform his duties.

“Jason expressed some of his concerns were in regards to Gervasi’s supervision of other employees,” said Farmer.

He said that discussion led to the names of specifi c em-ployees being brought out during the executive session.

“It was totally in the scope of executive session,” said

Farmer.He said an evaluation of

Gervasi’s performance would have been a different matter and notifi cation regarding the matter would have been re-quired by law.

Hancock said there is no justifi cation for violating the Open Public Meetings Act. She views the scope of the discussion as such a viola-tion.

In a story published by the Daily Sun News on Friday, March 2, 2012, Councilman Don Vlieger admitted the discussions may have fallen “…5 percent outside of the intended scope, but the may-or always got us right back on track.”

That, said Hancock, “…opens it up for abuse.”

Farmer said, “Theresa had every right to bring it out…however, she had no right to take it to the news. She should have brought it to me fi rst, the city manager and the prosecuting attorney.”

He said her actions were a direct violation of law and Hancock is subject to sanc-tions.

Farmer said the council could make a motion to ex-clude Hancock from future executive session meetings or it could impose a $500 fi ne.

That’s not so, according to Nixon, who said, “There’s nothing in state law that re-quires (Hancock) to go to the mayor, the city attorney or the county prosecutor with a complaint about Open Public Meetings Act abuse.”

He said it’s “…probably a good idea” to go to the mayor or city attorney, but it is not lawfully required.

“There’s nothing in state law that the county pros-ecutor could do anyway…violations of the Open Public Meetings Act by a city coun-cil are not prosecuted by the county prosecutor,” Nixon continued.

The only action that can possibly be taken, he said, is a lawsuit fi led against the in-dividual or council members in superior court.

Ford concurred, stat-ing Hancock also cannot be excluded from executive ses-sion meetings because she is an elected offi cial. Excluding any elected offi cial, he said, is a violation of the will of the electorate.

He said, “Not everything discussed in executive session is subject to closed executive meetings.”

As a result, sanction-ing Hancock for her actions could be a direct violation of her fi rst amendment rights, according to Ford.

Hancock said, “I have been on the council six years and would never think of plac-ing the city in a situation of liability, revealing executive meeting discussions.”

She said she only revealed the discussions from the Feb. 25 meeting because she be-lieves it is her responsibility to look out for the best inter-est of the public whom she serves.

“Violations of the Open Public Meetings Act is cross-ing the line of the public’s trust,” said Hancock.

She said she is also con-cerned regarding the notion that council may or may not exclude her from executive session meetings. She said a vote in favor of such action may lead to further censures on others.

“It provides specifi c coun-cil members the ability to turn executive session meet-ings into meetings exclusive to only those who are like-minded,” said Hancock.

She said there are many personnel issues awaiting council discussions.

“My hope is that the coun-cil will be forthcoming and honest with its approach without violating the Open Public Meetings Act,” said Hancock.

The city council earlier this month learned of another in-stance that caused eyebrows to raise.

A public safety subcommit-tee meeting was held without the knowledge of some of the council members. That con-cerns Hancock because there was no public notifi cation for what she believes is consid-ered a public meeting.

“The city manager didn’t even receive notifi cation,” she said, stating she was sur-prised to learn the meeting had taken place when at a city council meeting.

Three city council members serve on each of the council’s subcommittees. As a result,

the meetings are typically open to the public.

Farmer said, “I don’t be-lieve public notifi cation is necessary because there is no quorum.”

He said the city clerk, how-ever, should have notifi ed all interested parties of the date, location and time of the meet-ing.

“I don’t know why it didn’t happen,” said Farmer.

With all these questions in play, the Sunnyside City Council members are busy trying to remedy any fu-ture miscommunications to prevent the perception of violating the Open Public Meetings Act.

Hancock said the council has also been provided a copy of the Open Public Meetings Act for review.- Jennie McGhan can be contacted at 509-837-4500.

Connie Schei was raised in Sunnyside, but moved away for a while.

Now, she’s back and of-fering a service some in the Lower Yakima Valley say has been needed for years.

Schei is offering services for people looking for lov-ing homes for animals they cannot keep. The agency she operates is “Pet Adoption Services.”

She said it is a company she has operated for approximate-ly three years. The service has been operated in Moses Lake, but with her recent move back to the Lower Valley, she

Sunnyside native now operating‘Pet Adoption Services’ in Lower Valley

is operating a second location from her home.

Her sister still lives in Moses Lake and will con-tinue to operate the business there.

“I just began making con-tacts locally,” said Schei, stating her goal is to offer her services for the purpose of helping fi nd loving homes for animals that are in need.

“I am looking for local foster homes, but the ideal situation is to have the cur-rent owners continue to care for the animals until they can be placed,” she said.

The reason Schei believes in such an arrangement is to alleviate the stress on the ani-

mal, as well as the owners.“I have had owners who

have diffi culty parting with their animals. They don’t always want to give their ani-mals away, but need to for a variety of reasons and it eases their worries if they know the animal is cared for until a for-ever home can be found,” she said.

Shei said she doesn’t op-erate a shelter because she believes a home environment is better for the animals.

“I help people fi nd homes for their pets,” she said, stat-ing she has contacted local veterinarian offi ces as well as other businesses to let the community know about her

services.“I understand the need to

fi nd good, loving homes for animals…I have worked in or around rescue services for about 12 years,” Schei said.

With that experience, she has developed a number of contacts throughout the state. If she cannot fi nd a home for an animal locally, she will contact those whom she knows to help fi nd a place-ment for the animal.

“The need for a service like mine is everywhere,” said Schei.

She said she will also help those looking for a pet fi nd one. “They can call me, let me know what they are look-

ing for and I will alert them if I fi nd a pet that meets their needs.”

Schei said she charges a small adoption fee for adop-tions and requires the new owners to spay or neuter their furry pals. Those seeking to place an animal are not as-sessed a fee.

“I will do whatever is in my power to fi nd pets a safe place to live,” she said.

To contact Pet Adoption Services, call 509-760-2635 or email [email protected].

Near the end of the pursuit the 16-year-old driver was allegedly seen tossing a semi-automatic handgun from the vehicle. The handgun was found to have been reported stolen to the Yakima County Sheriff’s offi ce the previous evening in a residential bur-glary in the Buena area. The suspect vehicle was occupied

by two juveniles and three adults.

Property stolen from the residential burglary at Fisher Road was found in the sus-pect vehicle. Prosser Police also reported a vehicle mat-ching the suspect vehicle description was also involved in a burglary in their jurisdic-tion shortly before the South

Fisher Road burglary was re-ported.

Property from Prosser’s residential burglary was also located in this suspect vehi-cle. Russell said all those in the suspect vehicle at the end of the pursuit were identi-fi ed as having participated in Prosser’s burglary as well.

The 16-year-old male dri-

ver is from Buena and was booked into the Yakima County juvenile detention facility for requested charg-es of burglary, possessing a stolen fi rearm and attempt-ing to elude a pursuing police vehicle. Another 16-year-old male from Buena was also booked into the Yakima County juvenile detention fa-

cility on requested charges of burglary.

Three adults in the suspect vehicle were booked into the Yakima County jail on re-quested charges of burglary. They include an 18-year-old male from Toppenish, an 18-year-old male from Buena and a 20-year-old male from Toppenish.

It’s apparent that differ-ent students learn at different paces.

Some students learn at an average rate, while others learn the topics a bit quicker.

Local parents met with Sunnyside School District administrators last night (Thursday) to form a parent advisory committee to gener-ate ideas on how to make sure all students are learning at a

Parents unite with Sunnyside school administratorsto formulate learning plans for ‘highly capable’ students

pace that is suffi cient to their individual learning abilities.

Sunnyside School District Superintendent Dr. Rick Cole said, “We are going to answer the question, what do we do with the kids that already know?”

Sunnyside resident Brittany Weaver says her son was fi n-ishing the class-assigned work quicker than his class-mates. So, she began meeting with other parents, teachers and school administration of-

fi cials to help formulate ideas and begin answering that question.

The parent group re-searched other school models and came up with preliminary goals and ideas to meet that need.

The highly capable pro-gram’s goals are to provide individual learning curricu-lum to all students while also providing challenging in-struction and curriculum to higher performing and gifted

students on a daily basis. Parents also want teach-

ers to provide instruction at a pace that meets the needs of the higher performing stu-dents. In addition, the goals are to provide the aforemen-tioned objectives within the school day (not in afterschool programs) and within budget-ary restrictions.

One suggestion revealed by Weaver, called cluster grouping, would allow a small group of gifted students

to be placed together within a mixed-ability class. Weaver believes this could enable the teacher to plan tasks that will appropriately challenge the students in the gifted clus-ter while also allowing the students to experience the benefi ts of mixing with like-minded peers, academically and socially, as well as mix-ing with like-aged peers from the fuller cross-section of abilities and interests.

Cole says he would like to

see the ideas implemented into classrooms by the next school year.

Of the nearly 50 parents in attendance last night, the school district’s cabi-net group will choose from among those who expressed an interest in being part of the advisory committee. There was also talk of forming possibly two committees to narrowly discuss the needs at the elementary and secondary school levels.

Air quality is important – no argument there. Yakima Valley dairies have worked for several years employing best management practices to maintain air quality and min-imize the impact of their operations.

Obviously, dairies, like all agricultural entities, need land and water to produce our food. So it should hardly be sur-prising that dairies tend to be in remote areas – with very few, if any, immediate neighbors.

Despite this, there has been near constant fi ling of complaints about air quality. Recently, Keith Hurley, Compliance & Air Monitoring Division Supervisor for the Yakima Regional Clean Air Agency (YRCAA), did some research into those complaints.

According to Hurley’s tally, 180 complaints were fi led against 12 dairies between July 2007 and February 2012. There were a total of 14 complainants, meaning only .0000575 of the county’s total population of 243,000 sub-mitted complaints during that fi ve-year period.

Even more revealing was that 161 of the complaints in-volved one dairy and 156 of those complaints were fi led by a single person. It would appear that one person has an axe to grind with a single neighboring dairy.

“That particular dairy is one of the best, if not the best run dairy in the county,” said Gary Pruitt, the YRCAA’s Executive Director. “We have investigated the complaints made about that dairy and have found no violations.”

Of the other complaints fi led, only a few resulted in a documented violation (either a “Notice of Violation” or an “Assurance of Discontinuation”). And more often than not, the violation was for something not directly associated with the dairy’s handling of manure or feed and was promptly corrected.

In the last two years, a signifi cant amount of time and resources were diverted to dairy air quality, according to Pruitt, who has been with the YRCAA for 18 years. “That’s time and resources that were taken from other important projects,” Pruitt said.

During the last YRCAA board meeting, held on March 8th, Board Chair Tom Gasseling stated that it made him an-gry to get slandered and accused month after month by a small group of vocal individuals without any evidence that he or anyone else on the board has done anything improper. He fi nally stated, “…enough is enough.”

Last year, valley dairy farmers participated in an air qual-ity pilot project that included 15 of the county’s 60-plus dairies but over half the county’s cows. Based on infor-mation from that project the YRCAA’s Board approved a voluntary dairy air policy. Many of the dairies that were in the pilot project will encourage neighboring dairies to take part in the newly created program. Passing on the voluntary program could lead to a requirement for mandatory regis-tration, fees and inspections.

“We’ve got a major air pollution problem in Yakima County, and it’s not dairies. It’s wood smoke,” Pruitt stated at the last YRCAA board meeting. “We need to go back to focusing on that and continuing to do something about it.”

Clearing the air about air quality

BY STEVE GEORGE

At a recent council meet-ing, a motion was made to bind city council members to an unconstitutional code of conduct. While noble in in-tent, I took a principled stand to allow council members and the public the opportuni-ty to express criticism of city offi cials.

At all times I have said that people should treat each oth-er with dignity and respect. In my view, allowing citizens to express themselves is impor-tant to the functioning of our representative form of gov-ernment. I learn from others, and appreciate all points of

Public criticism of city officialsBY JASON R. RAINES view. In or-

der to make good deci-sions, council m e m b e r s need to hear all points of view from

the citizens.People should be treated

with common courtesy be-cause that is the decent thing to do. There are some that think this issue should be dealt with by the Sunnyside Municipal Code. I respect-fully disagree. We cannot legislate good manners by is-suing a decree from council. Furthermore, it is abhorrent to think that the government

is going to be in charge of de-termining who is exhibiting the proper “respect” towards others.

One provision of the so-called code of conduct is “never publicly criticize an individual employee.” The code of conduct also prohibits this same criticism in private conversation. In effect, it pro-hibits council members from calling out corruption, in-competence, ineffi ciency or a host of other issues that may need to be addressed.

This does not pass the smell test. My colleagues who are crying the loudest for “respect” are unwittingly failing to perform the full du-

ties of their position. Despite the best of intentions, those that are trying to silence their opposition on the altar of “re-spect” are missing the big picture.

Scott M. Missall, a munici-pal law attorney, recently sent a fax to the mayor addressing this issue. A copy of this com-munication is being provided to this newspaper along with my comments. Mr. Missall says:

“...each Council member is an independently elected City offi cial, and it is there-fore incumbent on him or her to abide by state law and the constitution, which each Council member has sworn

to uphold, in the execution of their duties. It would be in derogation of those respon-sibilities and statutes for any Council member to be less than forthcoming in public about governance or manage-ment issues connected with the performance of a city manager. Similarly, it would be improper for one Council member to attempt to curtail another Council member’s public comments or concerns about a city manager’s per-formance.”

While I respect my col-leagues on council, and appreciate the work they do for our community, I will continue to do my part of the

heavy lifting as well. Whether it is tackling the issue of out of control legal bills ($770,000 in a 28-month period), or lay-ing off police offi cers which allowed shootings to increase from 17 to 38 (a 124 percent increase from 2009 to 2010) and homicides to increase an astounding 600 percent in the same time period; I will not stop pushing for public safety and sensible spending as pri-orities at City Hall.

The good news is that the police department’s “Gang Elimination Strategy” is pro-ducing positive results for our city. According to statis-tics recently compiled by the

Facebook has a fairly new feature out called the “time-line.”

The application pulls up everything you’ve ever post-ed on your page from the day of its creation.

While at fi rst I was lost in a state of nostalgia within my personal Facebook history, I suddenly realized how glad I was that I have never posted anything too embarrassing or appalling.

My fi rst run-in with social media screening was a few years ago when I was up for a job interview.

After the grueling interview and of course, the news that I’d been hired, before leav-ing the conference room my

new boss turned around and said, “Oh, thank you for hav-ing a clean Facebook page.” He smiled and proceeded to walk out.

I was both shocked and re-lieved. I felt surprised and a bit weird because of the fact that someone could see what I was doing, where I was at, and who I was with. I was re-lieved because I made sure to “keep it clean.”

Over the years social me-dia has become for many like a limb attached to their body. And for the diehards, an artery connected to their hearts.

Many use their pages for updating those whom they don’t connect with on a reg-

ular basis. But others use the sites as personal jour-nals and public windows into their deepest thoughts. Even others, still, use the site to display illegal activities that they’ve participated in.

While it may seem “all in good fun” at the time, these kinds of postings may be problematic for one’s future.

I always wonder if I were a different person, and had posted something inappropri-ate on the page, would I have been offered that job.

It reminds me of the song my grandmother used to sing to us, “Oh, be careful little ears what you hear.”

city’s crime analyst, shootings decreased from 38 in 2010 to 21 in 2011. This is a 45 per-cent reduction following the hiring of additional offi cers, and implementing an aggres-sive stance against the violent offenders. This strategy saw homicides decrease from six in 2010, to only one in 2011.

And while council has not received a monthly fi nancial statement from city staff in 2012, until the recent hiring of Mr. Sweet, our new Interim City Manager has promised

we will be getting monthly fi -nancial reports from this time forward.

Armed with this infor-mation, we can make the diffi cult decisions that will be required in order to stop us-ing reserve funds to balance the city budget. With all due respect, these are the sen-sible spending patterns that citizens should expect from Council.

Hidden treasure can be found right here in Lower Valley

There is hidden treasure in the Lower Yakima Valley. The treasure cannot be found on a map, for the treasure is made of gems spread throughout the valley.

These gems are also heroes. They are men and women who live among us. Without the request of recognition, they come together to create a treasure. These gems served our country during times of war and peace, this makes them heroes.

Their continued service, though, makes them treasures. The characteristic of their service has changed. They are no longer off serving our nation on foreign soil or protecting our freedoms on American soil. Instead, they are in our own back yard, serving their fellow comrades and their comrade’s mourning families.

This job comes without service medals. This job comes without compensation. This job requires them to face their comrade’s heartbroken bride or child. This job is that of a member of the Lower Valley Veterans Honor Guard, the val-ley’s hidden treasure.

We recently laid my grandfather, Charles Paul, a WWII vet-eran, to rest. The Lower Valley Veterans Honor Guard was there. They did not have to be. I am sure many of them never met my grandfather, but they came just the same. They hon-ored him with a 21-gun salute and words about his sacrifi ce for our country that made my heart swell with pride.

It can’t be fun, attending graveside service after graveside service, but they do it anyhow. They do it for their comrades and for their country. They are true patriots, gems, treasures; I just hope they know what it means to those of us left behind.

Patience, understanding,respect and love great attributes

We have a home in Sunnyside on a busy, sometimes noisy, well-traveled street. We have a front window that faces east, so we have a perfect early morning view of sunrise. We have fl owers, vines, rosebushes and trees that will provide us with a perfect area in which to view our wonderful neighbors. We have birdfeeders, birdbaths and patience.

We see an almost steady stream of visitors who we have found to be the best, most social, polite and courteous high-light of our days. We are so blessed to live here.

We have a few squirrels and two pair of mourning doves who visit for the sunfl ower seeds that drop on the ground or for a drink of water. They visit from across the street and are usually gone by twilight. The robins haven’t come yet for the worms in our little lawn but neither have the humming-birds, who will visit later when honeysuckle and clematis are blooming with the roses.

We have enjoyed watching the steady stream of various sparrows, wrens and fl ickers. We do have the pigeons, star-lings, ravens, crows and magpies that roost in very high trees, on rooftops and the wires, but they are usually there for the cherries, walnuts and scraps left in the street.

When we watch the small birds come to our trees we see that there seems to an order from limb to lower limb, and then to the feeders and last to the ground before they fl y to build their nests, lay their eggs and raise their young to fl y on their own. The smallest of each species shows respect for the larger next species, to the feeders and then it continues.

There are times when we have observed owls and hawks come when we have had a problem with mice, bats, trouble-makers or some over-abundance of some insects, as well. Only on very rare occasions have we seen an eagle because they soar higher in the sky. They get a bigger picture of our area and only come when they see a problem that will cause chaos or imbalance of our natural order.

We just hope everyone lives as well as the small birds that come to our town with patience, understanding, respect and love.

Forum...Forum...On Tuesday morning I had

a slice of a $135 cake.The retail value of the cake

was probably not that high, but that’s the price the cake was auctioned off for during the Spirit of Sunnyside ban-quet last Saturday night.

I was privileged to attend the event as a photographer. I arrived late, as I only needed to get pictures of the banquet award winners, but I still managed to see the dessert auction and plenty of amus-ing action.

The food smelled great, and every comment I heard re-garding the meal provided by Bon Vino’s Bistro and Bakery was about how wonderful it tasted. I watched chef Roger Hazzard scramble behind the scenes, cleaning up. “Now comes the fun part,” he said as he and his crew started busing tables.

The table decorations were fantastic, running from a whimsical “penguin” table to tables with a bottle of wine for each diner. While getting prepared, I wandered and got

a decent look at most of the tables before their inevitable dismantling by the crowd.

Desserts were auctioned off while I waited for the awards to start, and the bid-ders shared their winnings with their tables, providing a delectable fi nish to the meal for all.

The awards themselves were well deserved. The ap-plause was genuine in each case, and the shock on the winners’ faces was a joy to see.

A few moments stand out for me.

Jim Restucci, acting as emcee, was straightforward with his praise. Most people fi gured out who had won the award before he was done, but the announcement of the name was still a high point of each presentation.

Suzi Carpino had by far the strongest reaction to winning an award, and it’s no wonder. Her job is demanding and diffi cult, with a heavy emo-tional toll and little praise. Watching her shock at win-

ning the well-deserved Hero Award was a good moment.

In order to surprise Restucci, who had won the Public Offi cial of the Year award, Pam Turner of the Chamber of Commerce was forced to pretend she’d for-gotten to give information about the award to him. He fell for it, and was suitably surprised to earn the honor.

Another good moment was Sunnyside Police Chief Ed Radder’s reaction to getting an award. Standing at the back of the room with two of his offi cers, he quietly attempted to disappear by stepping be-hind a potted tree. One of his offi cers helpfully moved the tree away so the Chief had to accept his award.

But the high point for me came at the end when a late cake was brought in to be auctioned. A bidding war developed between Port em-ployee Vernita Coffey and city council woman Theresa Hancock, with people urg-ing them both on. Eventually Vernita came up the winner to

the applause of all.And, after having a piece of

the incredible chocolate ga-nache cake from Bon Vino’s, she invited a few others to share in the bounty, leading to me getting a lovely choco-late overdose and being able to say that I’ve eaten a piece of a $135 cake.- Laura Gjovaag can be contacted at 509-837-4500, or [email protected]

Vocalists from four local churches are busy preparing for the annual Easter canta-ta to be performed Sunday, April 1.

Under the direction of Kathy Gervasi, singers from Sunnyside Presbyterian, Oasis Community, Our Saviour’s Lutheran and Sunnyside United Methodist churches have been rehears-ing “The Song Everlasting.”

The Easter cantata brings together these vocalists for the purpose of sharing and celebrating the life of Christ with the community through American folk songs and hymns.

The vocalists will be ac-companied by an instrumental CD. The words and music are by Joseph Martin.

The group, said Gervasi, has been rehearsing for the event since Feb. 8.

The April 1 performance

by Rev. Katrina Walther

Easter approaches, and all across the country, all across the world, people are preparing for baptism.

The tradition of performing baptisms at Easter goes back to the earliest days of the church. The candidates study and prepare themselves for the commitment of baptism throughout the season of Lent, with their preparations culminat-ing in an Easter Vigil. Then, as dawn comes on the anniversary of Christ’s resurrection, they are washed in the wa-ter, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Whatever the age of the baptismal candidate, whatever the denomination in which the baptism takes place, the ritual of Water and Word is an important part of our Christian identity.

As a fairly new pastor, I have not had the privilege of performing many bap-tisms. Our congregation was honored, however, to have one baptismal candi-date last year at Easter. The young man

and his family came to our congregation from a different background, so he had not been baptized as an infant as most of the congregation was. When he met with me before the day of his baptism, I asked if he knew what it was he was promising with this step.

“To be Lutheran,” he said simply. I told him that, while the whole con-

gregation was thrilled that he was joining our worship community, baptism goes beyond any one denomination. In bap-tism, we enter into a covenant with God. It is a deceptively simple procedure. Water from the font or baptistery, or from any source, in fact, is poured over the person being baptized, and these words are spoken: “Child of God, I bap-tize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”

With this ritual, we are reborn as Children of God through His Son, Christ Jesus.

Just as a marriage is not just the day of the ceremony, baptism is more than just a one-time event in our lives. It is a

life-long gift; the water may dry and the oil of the anointing is absorbed or wiped off our foreheads, but baptism leaves an indelible mark on us—an invisible wa-termark that designates us for all time as God’s own adopted and beloved Children by the grace of Christ Jesus.

In baptism, we are united with Christ in a bond that transcends time, space, life and death. What meaning then are simple boundaries of age, creed, gender, denomination or culture of origin? As surely as we are bound to God in Christ Jesus by the waters of baptism and the love of God, we are also bound to one another.

While your congregation may not be among those welcoming a new member through baptism on April 8th, we all shall pray for those who are preparing for this commitment. We all shall give thanks for new lives begun in Christ Jesus, who binds us together in love.

KENNEWICK – Kamiakin yesterday handed the visiting Sunnyside girls tennis squad a 6-1 defeat.

Sunnyside’s sole victory was earned by No. 4 singles player Elexis Lepe, who earned her fi rst-ever varsity win.

by Jennie McGhan

KENNEWICK – The Sunnyside boys tennis team yesterday lost its league opener 6-1 to Kamiakin.

The Grizzlies are 2-3 over-all, 0-1 in league play.

Winning the lone match yes-terday against Kamiakin was Sunnyside’s Scott Laverman. He defeated Travis Weide 6-2, 6-0. Laverman is 4-1 on

SHS boys net squad falters against Kamiakin Bravesthe season in No. 3 boys sin-gles action.

“Scott never let up…he did a great job against a tough op-ponent,” said Grizzly Coach David Downing.

Sunnyside’s Javier Aguilar suffered a 6-2, 6-4 defeat to Brave Andrew Odland in No. 1 singles action, and team-mate Daniel Guillen was handed a loss by Nick Minter of Kamiakin by identical 6-0

scores in No. 2 singles.In No. 4 singles action,

Iran Brambila of the Grizzlies won the fi rst set 6-4, but fell by identical 6-3 scores in the second and fi nal sets.

Downing said, “Iran did a great job taking it to three sets.”

The Sunnyside doubles teams didn’t fare so well, ei-ther.

The excitement to be had in

doubles play was on the court occupied by Grizzly No. 3 teammates Mario Zarazua and Matthew Gongora. The pair battled through two sets but came up short 6-3, 6-4 against Kamiakin teammates Bradley Thompson and Jeff Odland.

In No. 1 doubles, Kamiakin’s Mathew Inman and Jacob Detherage handed Sunnyside’s Jacob Martin

and Jovanny Martinez a loss by identical 6-0 scores, and Sunnyside’s Zach Halma and Nathan Laverman suffered a 6-1, 6-1 loss against Mason Taylor and Jared Tanke in No. 2 doubles action.

Sunnyside travels to Moses Lake tomorrow (Saturday).


“She played with heart and never gave up,” said Lady Grizzly Coach David Downing.

Lepe defeated the Braves’ Kylee Tate 6-3 in the fi rst set. The pair battled through the second set, but Tate pre-vailed 6-3. The fi nal set went Lepe’s way, however. The Lady Grizzly defeated her

player Amanda Villarreal suffered a 6-1, 6-0 loss to Sydney Obstar, and team-mate Sonia Romero sustained a 6-1, 6-0 loss at the hands of Kamiakin’s Sangeetha Thevuthasan in No. 2 singles play.

Brave Joanna Sun prevailed

by identical 6-0 scores over Sunnyside’s Dalia Montero in No. 3 singles action.

The Sunnyside doubles teams all suffered losses to the Braves.

No. 3 doubles teammates Ashley Foster and Jazmine Lopez of the Lady Grizzlies faced off with Byrnna Desanti and Kayleen Melior.

The Kamiakin team prevailed after a hard fought 7-6 (7-4), 7-5 battle at the net.

Sunnyside’s No. 1 team-mates Adilene Torres and Lydia Robert dropped a 6-0, 6-2 decision to Tori Roberts and Danielle Heath of the Braves, and Lady Grizzlies Miriam Paz and Lucy Ochoa (No. 3 doubles) fell by iden-

tical 6-0 scores to Jacqueline Musser and Briahna Mustoller.

Downing said of his team’s performance, “The team played hard against a tough opponent and gained valuable experience. I am proud of our teamwork, sportsmanship and never-give-up attitude against a very seasoned team.”

The Lady Grizzlies (0-1, 0-5) will tomorrow (Saturday) compete in Moses Lake.

Kamiakin defeats Sunnyside High School girls, 6-1PREP TENNIS

by Bob Story

The fi rst game in Sunnyside Christian’s home opener yes-terday afternoon ended with the Knights dropping a 17-2 decision to the Naches JV, the same score they lost by to Liberty Christian’s varsity two days prior.

Thursday’s twin bill fi nale was a different story, howev-er. Getting a gutsy, complete game pitching performance from Wyatt Hoff, as well as a pair of hits from both Brandon Moore and Alex Brouwer, Sunnyside Christian gave the Rangers all they could handle before fi nally falling by a sin-gle run, 6-5.

“After dropping our fi rst two games of the season by identical 17-2 scores, I was starting to wonder,” said SCHS Coach Tyler Alseth.

PREP BASEBALL

Rod Smith/Daily Sun NewsKnights’ third baseman Jackson Haak slaps a tag down on a Naches base runner Thursday afternoon.

“But we fi nally got a baseball game in that second one last night.”

The JV Rangers took the early lead on Sunnyside Christian’s varsity in the nightcap, plating three runs in the top of the third. The hitting standouts for Naches that game were Ryker Cryder and Trevor Leslie, who went 2-for-3 and 2-for-4 at the plate, respectively.

The three-run uprising for Naches in the third frame was due in part to Hoff issuing three walks that inning, the only base-on-balls he gave up in pitching all seven innings.

“Other than that third in-ning, Wyatt battled the Naches hitters the whole game,” said

Alseth. He said Hoff mainly stuck with his fastball, work-ing his pitches in and out and hitting his spots well.

Interestingly, Hoff threw from the stretch the entire game, not having yet learned how to pitch from a wind-up.

“Pitching is fairly new to him,” Alseth said. “He’s been working on throwing a curve, but yesterday he pretty much stuck with his fastball.”

It served him well, as Hoff allowed just the six runs in going the whole way while scattering seven hits and fan-ning three.

After falling behind 3-0, Sunnyside Christian pieced together a four-run rally in the bottom of the fourth to grab the lead temporarily. And, it was Hoff who got things started, as he singled his way aboard and then stole second. The sophomore Moore plat-ed him by slapping a single,

GRANGER – The Grand-view Greyhound soccer team suffered a 3-0 non-league loss yesterday to Granger.

“I expected the game to be

much closer,” said Greyhound Coach Anne Holden.

She said the score surprised her, but she is pleased for 1A Granger, hoping the Spartans will have a good season.

Ulyses Arenas of Granger scored in the 20th minute of the match-up.

Teammate Freddy Reyes at the 50-minute mark scored the second goal on an assist by Esau Cervantes.

The Greyhound defense kept the Spartans from scor-ing again until there were just 10 minutes left on the clock.

It was then that Rafael Arredondo of Granger passed the ball to teammate Edwin Zamudio for the fi nal goal of the match.

“It’s obvious we didn’t control the things we needed to control,” said Holden.

Grandview keeper Elmer Campuzano had eight saves on 11 attempts at the cross-bars.

Granger’s keeper made seven saves.

Spartan Coach Alejandro Ortiz said it was a “friend-ly match of Granger versus Grandview.”

Grandview (1-3) tomorrow (Saturday) will travel to East Valley for the fi rst league match-up of the season.

The Sunnyside High School fastpitch team suffered a 17-0 non-league loss yesterday to visiting Riverview. The Lady Grizzlies had two hits off the bats of Rosa Garza, pictured above missing a tag at third base, and from Johanna Chumley. The Panthers had 11 hits in the five-in-ning game. Riverview’s pitcher secured 10 strikeouts and the defense didn’t commit any errors. SHS, however, com-mitted six errors. The opening pitcher for the Lady Grizzlies was Amber Cornwell, Monique Gil closed the game. Behind the plate was Chumley, pictured at left applying the tag as a Panther attempts to steal home with a run. Sunnyside (0-4) next Tuesday is scheduled to travel to Wenatchee.

which was followed by an-other RBI single off the bat of Drew Puterbaugh.

After Puterbaugh stole second and moved up an-other bag on a ground ball to the right side of the infi eld, Brant Bosma laid down a squeeze bunt that brought in Puterbaugh. Bosma reached fi rst safely on the play, thanks to his hustle down the base-line, and it paid dividends

because the next batter, Brouwer, smacked a double, bringing Bosma all the way around the bases with the fourth run of the inning.

Naches, though, went on to plate single tallies in the fi fth, sixth and seventh innings, eventually holding on for the 6-5 victory over the Knights.

In Thursday’s opener, the senior Matt Moore got chased off the mound after only re-

cording one out in the top of the fi rst. The Rangers ended up pushing six runs across the dish that inning. Bosma went the next three and two-third innings, with Hoff pitching the fi nal frame for Sunnyside Christian. All told, the three Knight hurlers only gave up six hits, but were done in by giving up 12 free passes. The four errors committed be-hind them by their Sunnyside

Christian teammates also contributed to the 17-2 loss.

The Knights scored their fi rst run in the opening game in the bottom of the third, thanks to a single by Ricky Driesen and walks coaxed off Naches pitcher Sean Scholtys by Hoff and the senior Moore. Puterbaugh drove in Sunnyside Christian’s second and fi nal run of the contest in the bottom of the fi fth with a

Local singer and songwriter Sami Jo Sartin is paving her own way in the music industry. A Sunnyside native, she recently produced a CD titled “Gypsy Soul,” which is now for sale locally and nationally on iTunes, Ama-zon and from other music distributers. The CD can also be purchased here in Sunnyside at Catalina’s Hair Care, Bon Vino’s Bistro & Bakery, Home-stretch Espresso, Sister to Sister, Cowgirl Bling and at State Farm In-surance. The Sunnyside High School graduate has been writing songs and singing in the Lower Valley for sev-eral years now and is finally taking the big leap in her career and moving to Nashville at the end of the month to work with other songwriters and a publisher to put together a debut album and really kick off her singing career. Those who want to support the young woman’s efforts are being encouraged to purchase one of her CDs at one of the local venues or on iTunes. Fans who have heard Sartin perform can follow her on her Face-book fan page at www.facebook.com/pages/sami-jo/179427718811576.

YAKIMA – Author Mary Ann Kerr, a resident of Yakima, will be available to sign copies of her book, Liberty’s Inheritance: A Woman of Entitlement.

The book signing event is scheduled for Saturday, April 7, from 1 to 4 p.m. at Fiddlesticks in Yakima (1601 Summitview Ave.).

The main character in the fi ctional work is Liberty Bouvier, who returned home, in the spring of 1868, full of plans, but her father had cho-sen a man for her. No coming out ball, no debutante parties, she was to give up everything she’d dreamed about. Betrothed to a lawyer 10 years her senior, Bouvier fi nds her-self a bargaining chip to keep her father out of debt-or’s prison.

She is released

A chili cook-off is scheduled for Saturday, March 31, at 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. at the Fraternal Order of Eagles hall in Sunnyside.

Judging will start at 5 p.m. but entries need to be at the lodge by 3 p.m. The contest is open to the public for a $10 entry fee. Prizes will be presented to the top three cooks. Money raised will go towards maintenance of the Eagles hall.

Another fundraiser for the Eagles will be a big plant sale in May.

Also, on Saturday, April 28, from 5 to 7 p.m. the Eagles will be hosting a spaghetti dinner for the Cal Ripken baseball program. Tickets will go on sale next week and will cost $10 for adults and $6 for children aged 11 and under.

The proceeds will go to upkeep and improvements on the baseball fi eld at South Hill Park, with the goal of being able to hold tournaments at the fi eld and bring in revenue to Sunnyside. Donations are gladly accepted.

Darigold and the Sunnyside Community Center is sponsoring a free Easter egg hunt on Saturday, April 7, at South Hill Park, located at 1521 South First St.

The Easter egg hunt will be open to all chil-dren ages one to nine-years-old, with more than 18,000 eggs placed for children to fi nd.

Each egg will contain a treat or prize, and children need to bring a sack or basket to gather their eggs.

Parents are encouraged to arrive early at the popular event for the start time that cor-responds with their children’s ages.

Egg hunt start times for the different age groups are as follows:

- 10 a.m. for 1 and 2 year-olds - 10:15 a.m. for 3 and 4 year-olds- 10:30 a.m. for 5 and 6 year-olds- 10:45 a.m. for 7 to 9 year-olds

The staggered egg hunt times are intended to help the younger children have an oppor-tunity to collect as many as eggs as the older children.

The Easter Bunny, along with Darigold’s mascot - Smoooth - will make a special ap-pearance. Free face-painting will also be available from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

Darigold and Sunnyside’s Promise are partnering together to put on the event with help from community sponsors that include the Sunnyside Police Department, Sunnyside Police Explorers, Sunnyside Fire Department, Sunnyside High School rally squad and the Sunnyside High School leadership class.

Others helping with the egg hunt include the Yakima Valley Dairy Ambassador, Yakima dairy farm families, the Miss Sunnyside Court and Bleyhl Farm Service.

For approximately fi ve years the leadership students at Sunnyside High School have been raising money to ben-efi t Children’s Miracle Network and the neonatal intensive care unit at Yakima Memorial Hospital via the Mr. SHS Pageant.

This year is no different with 12 Sunnyside High School students vying for the title. The contestants include David Castro, Manny Rivera, Jose Manzo, James Salazar, Jerry Alquicira, George Villalobos, Eric Espindola, Omar Cantu, Michael Cornwell, Nathan Gonzalez, Wilson Tramel and Nick DeLeon.

Castro said the contestants have raised approximately $1,200 so far.

Those funds, said Villalobos, have been raised through a number of outside fundraisers.

“We sold pizza at a varsity basketball game, we did the dash for cash at the talent show and basketball games and we had a pie in the face fundraiser,” he said.

Rivera said the contestants have also served as waiters at Bon Vino’s.

Villalobos named a heart-o-grams fundraiser and Mr. SHS dance among the other fundraisers the contestants have participated in to date.

There is one more fundraiser before the boys take the stage on Saturday, March 31.

The group will next Wednesday, March 28, participate

in a walk-a-thon after school. The event will take place in the SHS 200 and 300 buildings beginning at approximately 2:30 p.m.

There will also be another dash for cash at the pageant.For the Mr. SHS Pageant to be staged at the SHS audito-

rium on March 31, there will be a vocal performance, three solo dance performances, two creative skits, a musical per-formance on the saxophone, a monologue and one mystery talent performance.

The group has also worked together on a choreographed routine for the annual fundraising event, which will be at 7 p.m. The price for admission is $5.

“It’s all for a great cause,” said Salazar.

WAPATO - The edifi ce was inaugurated 60 years ago on a bright March weekend, and today’s descendents of the Filipino pioneers are set to celebrate the 60th anniversary of their pride and joy.

The re-dedication of Filipino Community Hall is set for Saturday, March 31, at the 211 West Second Street locale in Wapato.

While that evening’s cel-ebration will be modest, community leaders promise that it won’t lack in enthusi-asm.

“We want to make it a community event,” said Lorena Bucsit Silva, the Chair of the 60th anniversary cel-ebration and Vice-President of the Filipino American Community of the Yakima Valley.

“We expect that several hundred will attend the event, which will begin at 5 p.m.”, she added.

There will be dance troupes representing the Filipino community, as well as an ap-pearance by the Sunnyside High School dance team, the

reigning high school state champions.

Joseph Tyson, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Yakima, will present the in-vocation. There will be a re-dedication ribbon cutting following the theme “Through the Generations,” and newly elected offi cers for 2012-13 will be installed by an offi cial of the Yakama Indian Nation.

The Filipino Hall cele-brated it’s “Grand Opening” on March 22, 1952. “It sig-naled that Filipinos were here to stay,” said Rey Pascua of

Filipino Hall re-dedication open to publicSunnyside, President of the 300-member organization.

Yakima Valley Filipinos point with pride to the build-ing in Wapato, the fi rst built “from the ground up” as verifi ed by the national of-fi ce of the Filipino American National Historical Society.

The evening program on March 31st will also feature messages of congratulations sent by elected offi cials.

“A birthday cake is ab-solutely necessary for our celebration, and light refresh-ments will also be served,” said Silva.

A more elaborate and larg-er gathering is being planned for May 19 at the Yakima Convention Center.

The cost for the event is $75, which in-cludes a commemorative wine glass, wine tasting, dinner, dancing and a pass-port for the Gorge Passport Weekend. The evening is set to conclude at approximate-ly 10:30 p.m.

For more information or

to purchase tickets, visit www.gorgewine.com.

In the coming weeks wine tasters are also invited to the Columbia Gorge Wineries Portland Grand Tasting set for Monday, April 9. Trade tasting is set to be-ing at 1 p.m. at the Melody Ballroom, located at 615 SE Alder in Portland, Ore. The public tasting event will be held at the same location from 4-7 p.m.

Nearly 25 Columbia Gorge wineries from Washington and Oregon will be present at the event, featuring premium

wines, along with light hors d’oeuvres. The cost is $25, which includes admission into the event, wine tasting and a take-home wine glass and a passport for Passport Weekend.

TOPPENISH – The Toppenish Parks and Recreation Department is taking sign-ups now for its summer 18&over fl ag football league.

The co-ed games will be played in the evenings during the middle of the week.

Team fees are set at $400. Teams can only have a maxi-mum of 11 players.

Individuals who can’t fi nd enough players to form a team can place their name on a roster sheet at the parks and rec offi ce in Toppenish, located at 20 Asotin Ave., across the street from Les Schwab Tires.

WAPATO - Wapato Middle School will present the 30th annual Cultural Unity Fair next Thursday, March 29. This year’s celebration will take place from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at Wapato Middle School.

The purpose of the event is to cel-ebrate the diverse and rich cultures of the Yakima Valley.

In 1982, a concerned group of teach-ers and school leaders developed a concept for cultural unity to combat the perception that gangs and violence dominated Wapato’s community. The

fact that this year’s event is the 30th anniversary is a testament to the unity demonstrated by the Wapato commu-nity and Wapato Middle School, say school district offi cials.

On this evening food from different cultures are prepared. Some of the eth-nic foods will include Indian fry bread, salmon, pansit, lumpia, stir fry, enchi-ladas, cinnamon rolls, pizza and cheese zombies. Adult cooks from the various cultures combine to provide this culi-nary feast.

Tickets, which can be purchased in

advance at Wapato Middle School or at the door of the school during next Thursday’s fair, are priced at $5 for adults and $4 for senior citizens and children. In exchange for each tick-et, participants receive food tokens that can be used to sample the various foods.

In addition to the excellent food, various ethnic dances will be per-formed by the Mecha, Indian and Asian Youth Organization Club dancers. The YMCA Zumba instructors will also be performing.

Cultural unity to be celebrated next Thursday

TOPPENISH – The Fraternal Order of Eagles lodge in Toppenish will host musical entertainer Marty Edwards on Saturday, March 24.

smoothly and

saving money!

Improving fuel economy is nothing

new to many motorists, but some

might still be surprised at the myriad

of ways they can get more bang for

their buck with regards to fuel costs.

Don’t break the law

Typically, fuel economy decreases

rapidly as a car reaches and surpasses

60 miles per hour.

Empty the trunk

Extra and unnecessary cargo in a

vehicle’s trunk drastically reduces fuel

economy.

Stop idling

Many people let their car idle for

several minutes on cold mornings.

But today’s newer vehicles don’t really

need to idle to warm up, and idling

can be very taxing on fuel economy.

Embrace cruise control

Maintaining a constant speed,

which a vehicle does when drivers

utilize cruise control on long drives,

can help save fuel, as it’s less taxing

on an engine.

Infl ate the tires

Poorly infl ated tires lower gas

mileage and also pose a safety hazard.

The DOE notes that properly infl ated

tires can improve gas mileage by as

much as 3 percent.

Drive the car you need,

not the car you want

Drivers who truly need to save

money at the pump should consider

the type of vehicle they’re driving,

and whether it’s the car they need or

the car they want.

Don’t run on Empty

The sediment from gasoline settles

at the bottom of the gas tank, and

when gas levels run low, the car

must use the dirtiest gas it has as

fuel. As that happens, the sediment

that would otherwise remain at the

bottom of the tank instead gets into

the car’s fuel line and possibly even its

engine.

Avoid Stopping and Starting

Stopping and starting should try

to be avoided at all costs. Frequently

fl ooring the gas pedal is wasting

expensive gas and putting a heavy

strain on the engine. Instead of

stopping and starting, smoothly

accelerate and anticipate stops.

Don’t Rev your Engine

Revving your engine is harmful

when a vehicle has just been started

and the engine hasn’t had the chance

to warm up. Revving the engine

while it’s still cold means the vehicle’s

engine’s parts have not yet been

lubricated.

Check Your Air Filter

A clean air fi lter can improve gas

mileage by as much as 10%.

Check your alignment

Poor alignment not only causes tires

to wear out more quickly, but also

forces your engine to work harder.

Get a tune up

A properly maintained engine can

improve mileage by up to 4%.

Check Your Gas Cap

Many of the cars on the road

have broken or missing gas caps.

Escaping fumes not only hurt fuel

economy but release smog-causing

compounds into the air. Avoid

air pollution and improving fuel

mileage is as easy as replacing a bad

gas cap.

Lay Off The Brakes

Riding with your foot on the

brake pedal will not only wear out

brake pads but can also increase gas

consumption by as much as 35%.

Change your oil

Using an energy conserving or

synthetic motor oil can also improve

gas mileage, saving you money at

the pump.

Replace spark plugs

Your car’s spark plugs ignite fuel

by means of a spark. Misfiring spark

plugs can reduce fuel efficiency by

as much as 30 percent.

Replace the engine air fi lter

Your car’s air filter works to remove

dirt, debris, and particles that might

otherwise damage your engine.

Improving fuel efficiency is a great

way for motorists to save money

and reduce the expenses associated

with vehicle ownership.

Sunnyside detectives were busy collecting evidence and working leads to locate Ismael Garcia, 18, of Prosser yesterday (Thursday).

The hard work paid off and Garcia, a sus-pect in the homicide of Francisco Bautista, 18, of Sunnyside was apprehended.

Police said Garcia was taken into cus-tody shortly after 7 p.m. last night. He is currently being held under investigation at the Sunnyside City Jail.

Bautista, the victim, was yesterday after-noon positively identifi ed by Yakima County Coroner Jack Hawkins, who has scheduled an

Murder suspect in custody, victim identifiedautopsy for today.

Preliminary details released by police con-clude Bautista was shot multiple times in the upper torso, which led to his death.

Bautista’s body was discovered at South Hill Park this past Wednesday evening shortly after 8 p.m. when police responded to a report of a gunshot wound victim.

He was transported to Sunnyside Community Hospital, where he subsequently died as a result of his injuries.

Sunnyside police say the victim was not known as a documented gang member. He was a senior at Sunnyside High School, and school district offi cials said he was scheduled

to graduate in June.Police said Bautista was also a father.Deputy Police Chief Phil Schenck said,

“The Sunnyside Police Department is working diligently to investigate the recent homicide that occurred in the city. We are contacting and searching for any gang members and suspects who may have been involved in this incident.”

Police offi cials believe the killing of Bautista to be gang motivated and have in custody two other individuals believed to be involved in the homicide, an 18-year-old man from Sunnyside and a 14-year-old female of Sunnyside.

“We continue to commit to the citizens of Sunnyside that we will relentlessly pursue any gang member who is involved in a crime in the city,” said Schenck.

He continued, “We believe that, although Sunnyside still has a gang problem, we are making headway in the safety and security of our citizens.”

Anyone with information regarding the shooting and subsequent murder of Bautista is urged to call the Sunnyside Police Department at 836-6200.

An Outlook home was damaged yesterday after a gunshot was heard in the 5000 block of Van Belle Road.

That’s according to the Yakima Sheriff’s report of activity since Thursday.

Deputies were dispatched to the scene yesterday morn-ing after a gunshot was heard in the area. No injuries were reported, but a resident in the home later found a bullet hole in a wall.

Deputies also were alerted to a burglary in the Wing Hill Road area, near Grandview, where a resident reported that an I-pad was stolen.

A Sunnyside police offi cer arrived on the scene and told the county dispatch-er that the vehicle was fully engulfed in fl ames and that ammunition in the vehicle was going off. The vehicle fi re was extinguished by 3:11 a.m. today, according to the Sheriff’s offi ce.

Among the many pro-posals pitched yesterday for use of lodging tax dol-lars was the much-needed improvements to the Sunnyside Museum.

Sunnyside’s lodg-ing tax dollars that have already been allo-cated for 2012 include monies for Sunnyside’s Cinco de Mayo celebra-tion, Sunshine Days, the Lighted Farm Implement Parade, Sunnyside’s com-munity fl oat and Yakima Valley Visitor’s and Convention Bureau, total-ing $87,500.

The revenues in the lodging tax fund are esti-mated at $156,200, and the Sunnyside Museum board was hoping the Sunnyside lodging tax advisory com-mittee might recommend approval of some of those dollars for improvements like handicap-accessible restrooms.

John Saras, speaking on behalf of the museum board, said the museum is one of the only tourist at-tractions in Sunnyside.

He detailed comments made by the Ben Snipes National Organization during a visit a few years back.

“They expressed an in-terest in attending events or visiting another local destination,” said Saras.

He said the city owns the museum but has not pro-vided funds for maintaining the facility, although that was included in an agree-ment made between the city of Sunnyside and the Sunnyside Museum board in 1970.

“The bathroom facilities are not handicap accessi-ble,” Saras told the lodging tax advisory committee.

He said other improve-ments that need to be made to the deteriorating building include handicap accessibility to the front of the museum, new paint and fl ooring, upgraded air

conditioning and heating and upgrades to the alarm system.

Committee chairman Don Vlieger, a city coun-cilman and owner of a local bed and breakfast inn, said he believes lodging tax funds would be well used to help with improvements to the museum.

“We have a history of not expending LTAC funds...much has been kept in re-serves,” he said, stating he doesn’t believe a reserve fund is necessary.

He said museums qual-ify for lodging tax dollars because they are tourist destinations.

Committee member Peggy Beeler, who with her husband owns Sunnyside RV Park, said she wanted to be cautious about spend-ing the money because there are legalities associ-ated with how the money is spent.

“We can’t just spend the money if a project doesn’t meet the requirements,” she said.

Beeler, however, said the museum is a vital function to the community and tour-

ism in Sunnyside.Vlieger said, “It’s obvi-

ous we can’t fund all of this, but maybe an annual allotment might be pos-sible.”

Bill Flower is also on the committee and asked why the city is not funding im-provements to the museum through its capital projects fund.

He said the building is a city facility and he thought facility improvements were considered capital projects.

“Why doesn’t it come out of the city budget rather than lodging taxes?” asked Flower, who owns several of Sunnyside’s downtown buildings.

Vlieger said the city used to have a separate budget for the museum, but no longer does.

As a result, he believed lodging taxes could be used for the purpose of helping the museum with some of the improvements.

Beeler again advised caution when allocating lodging tax dollars.

The committee asked Saras to return next month

with estimated costs of the bathroom upgrades as a starting point.

The committee also agreed to make a rec-ommendation to the city council for allocat-ing $3,000 for a Bonnie Dunbar tabletop statue that will be provided to the mu-seum.

Another recommenda-tion being made to the city council will be the allocation of funds to the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce for a 100-hole golf tournament.

The chamber request-ed $30,000, anticipating a profi t of nearly double that.

The committee, how-ever, said $20,000 would be recommended as “seed funding” for what could potentially be an annual event that draws tourists to the community.

The chamber’s propos-al included $15,000 for marketing the event on billboards and through oth-er media advertising.- Jennie McGhan can be contact-ed at 509-837-4500, or [email protected]

GRANGER – Three young ladies are hop-ing to be crowned Miss Granger on Friday, April 20, during the Granger Cherry Festival.

They include Rebecca Soliz, 17; Derenicia Arellano, 16; and 17-year-old Valerie Monique Garcia.

Six other youngsters are vying for the Little Miss Granger title at the same pageant.

They include 10-year-old Miranda Reyes; Hannah Maria Valenzuela, 7; Marissa Marie Salazar, 8; 10-year-old Esmene Fisk; Janessa Lea Villagomez, 8; and 7-year-old Naydin Franco.

Rebecca Soliz is involved in tennis and is the president of Granger High School’s DECA chapter. She is seeking the Miss Granger title because she wants to be more involved in her community, and she desires to “…make my family proud.”

Soliz believes she would be a good repre-sentative of her community because she says she dedicates herself to every job “…that is handed to me and I succeed in accomplish-ing it.”

Derenicia Arellano is a sophomore at Granger High School. She aspires to become a fashion designer, with her own business.

Arellano’s favorite colors are purple, pink and lime green. She enjoys animals, par-ticularly dogs and has two siblings. She is the daughter of Guadalupe Negrete Maria Cuevas.

The daughter of Mario and Danielle Garcia, Monique Garcia attends Granger High School. She has three siblings and says she is “…very outgoing, funny, bubbly, spontaneous and compassionate” among many other traits.

Following her high school career, Garcia plans to attend a four-year college or trade school.

“I love being around my family and friends,” said the contestant.

Garcia said she is proud of her community and wants to represent Granger as an expres-sion of that pride.

Little Miss Granger contestant Miranda Reyes said she likes to hang out with her friends. She is an AAU basketball player, en-joys using make-up, singing and using her iPad.

Fellow contestant Hannah Valenzuela at-tends Roosevelt Elementary School. She is the daughter of Luis M. Valenzuela and Tania

“I want to be Little Miss Granger because I want to do good things, be a princess and make my parents proud,” said Salazar.

Then and Now

Downtown Sunnyside was flooded on June 7, 1947, when there was a break in the Sunnyside Canal. Pic-tured is the area in front of the Central Building at the corner of Sixth Street and Edison Avenue. The flooding was made worse because Sunnyside did not have street drains at that time.

John Fannin/Daily Sun News

Today, nearly 65 years later, tenants of the Cen-tral Building are still recovering from another disaster, a fire that caused smoke and water dam-age last May. But other improvements in local in-frastructure, such as an effort to enclose area ir-rigation canals mean the chance of a downtown flood are less likely.
