The city of Sunnyside is zeroing in on adopting an ordinance that would provide for stricter regulation of city dance halls.

Speaking at a public hearing held yester-day, Sept. 14, Peggy Beeler described for the planning commission what it was like living next to a dance hall.

Beeler owns and operates Sunnyside’s RV

John Fannin/Daily Sun News

Dance halls scrutinized by planning commissionPark on Scoon Road. Next to their establish-ment is a dance hall called Athena’s.

Beeler’s report painted a grim image of the dance hall, stating that the she and various RV park residents have bore witness to nu-merous disturbing incidences from renters of the dance hall.

Residents of the RV park have witnessed people attending events at the dance hall uri-nating, littering, vandalizing property and

engaging in sexual acts. Beeler also revealed that Athena’s had been

the subject of 255 calls for police service be-fore the Beeler’s purchased the RV park three years ago.

Jamey Ayling discussed with the plan-ning commission how the new dance hall ordinance would help local residents like the Beeler’s and hold dance hall owners respon-sible for behavior on their property.

New applicants for a dance hall license will need to submit to an inspection of the premis-es. The inspections will ensure that the dance hall abides by all city codes, including zon-ing, fire, building and electrical.

According to Ayling, dance hall licens-es will require a fee of $200, but renewal at the end of the year will not be automati-cally issued. The city will consider the past

GRANDVIEW – A lawsuit brought by Larry Bolan was part of a larger discussion the Grandview City Council had last night about finding new legal services following the retirement of long-time city attorney Jack Maxwell.

During Tuesday night’s meeting, council approved a contract with the law firm Menke, Jackson, Beyer, Ehlis and Harper to represent the city in the suit brought by Bolan.

Bolan alleges that the city took illegal action back in

options for legal services with the city council last

night.

1996 when he says it trans-formed the library board into an advisory group. As a result, he is challenging the legality of the city’s library agreement with YVCC.

Though Maxwell is still on board on an interim basis, council agreed to hire outside counsel in responding to the case.

The city will pay the Yakima-based firm of Menke Jackson as much as $175 per hour for legal services pro-vided by its partners. That rate drops to a low of $55 per hour for work done by the company’s support staff.

Grandview will also pay the firm for its travel time, ex-penses and for mileage based on the current IRS rate.

In previous comments to the Daily Sun News, Bolan has indicated he is paying $8,000 out of pocket to pur-sue the case.

The city of Grandview will also be paying out of pocket, as its insurer will not cover legal expenses for the case. Mayor Norm Childress says that’s because Bolan is not seeking any financial dam-ages.

Childress feels Grandview has done nothing wrong, and

that the city should have re-sponsibility for the library rather than a board because city taxpayers pay for the li-brary.

City Clerk Anita Palacios noted the 1996 ordinance was simply housekeeping and changed nothing about the city’s relationship to the see “Legal options” back page

MABTON – The Mabton City Council voted 5-0 last night to impose an across the board monthly $3 increase for water and sewer services in the city.

The city is in the process of renovating its water and sewer treatment plant and the extra funds will go a long way in helping the renovation get started.

Councilman Mario Martinez reported to the council that with the new hike in fees the city should start putting between 10 and 15 percent of water and sewer revenues into a reserve fund. This was information he re-ceived at a recent AWC city workshop.

The increase means a household in Mabton with a ¾ inch or smaller water pipe will pay a minimum of $23.35 for service. Seniors will pay $18.35.

Overage charges will stay the same at $1.24 up to 402 cubic feet and $1.28 for any-thing over 938 cubic feet.

A household with a one-inch water pipe will see their

Mabton Council raises utility rates

basic charges increase to $24.49 a month. Seniors will have their rates increased to $16.59.

The monthly sewer charge for residents will rise from $31.06 a month to $34.06. Seniors will see their sewer bills go up from $26.06 to $29.06.

The new rates will take ef-fect on Nov. 1, 2010.

The council also reviewed ordinances the Sunnyside City Council has passed deal-ing with chronic nuisance properties, juvenile curfews and crime-free housing.

Mabton City Attorney Phil Lamb said he took a look at the ordinances and thought the chronic nuisance ordinance was worth taking a look at. He added that the ordinance would give police a tool to use to contact landlords and give them information about any problems happening on their properties. This in turn would arm the landlords with information as well as give the city a way to take action against the landlords if the property owners refuse to take action.

Sunnyside police arrested a Grandview man and two Sunnyside juveniles yesterday after police re-sponded to an auto theft report.

A Sunnyside police officer re-sponded to the call in the 500 block of Rouse Road and the reporting party said she had left her 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis outside running when it was stolen.

Shortly after taking the report the officer located the vehicle on Washout Road. After the officer attempted to stop the vehicle the suspect accelerated on Van Belle

Recovered stolen vehicle leads to three arrestsRoad and failed to stop at a stop sign. The vehicle finally stopped at a residence in the 7300 block of Van Belle Road and three suspects in the stolen vehicle exited.

The driver, identified as 18-year-old Esperanza Bojorquez, initially complied with the officer’s direc-tions but the suspect’s two juvenile female accomplices did not. Police say the juveniles assaulted the of-ficer in a bid to help Bojorquez escape. More officers arrived on the scene and arrested all three sus-pects.

Police are requesting charges of theft of a motor vehicle, escape in the third degree and eluding against Bojorquez. One of the juvenile girls, 17, has initially been charged with taking a motor vehicle without per-mission in the second degree, assault in the third degree on a police offi-cer, obstructing a law enforcement officer, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. The other female juvenile, 17, faces charges of taking a motor vehicle without permission in the second degree, assault in the third degree

on an officer and obstructing a law enforcement officer.

In other police news since yester-day, officers have investigated six reports of theft.

Four of the theft reports in-volved shoplifters. Police were called three times to Walmart and once to Safeway. Police were also called to a store in the 1800 block of South First Street for a man steal-ing candy. The sixth theft report was called into the station at 11:14 a.m. on Tuesday from the 1400 block of South Sixth Street. A stereo was sto-

len from a vehicle.Also since yesterday police have

dealt with five animal complaints, one report of disorderly conduct, one DUI, one fight, one report of graffiti, two juvenile problems, one report of loud music, two runaway juveniles, three suspicious people or situations, two traffic stops, one report of trespassing, one report of vandalism, one vehicle prowl and two violations of no-contact orders.

Police also assisted one agency, provided one extra patrol and field-ed one informational call.

As for the curfew ordi-nance, Lamb said he doesn’t recommend council adopting it, saying he doesn’t think it would stand up to a challenge from the ACLU.

Lamb informed the council that an attorney represent-ing Sunnyside told him the ACLU was working on a response to the curfew ordi-nance in Sunnyside.

Councilwoman Oping Hutson said the city of Mabton already has a curfew ordinance, but Lamb said it isn’t used.

As for the crime-free hous-ing ordinance, which would require landlords to buy a li-cense from the city or take a course instead, was found to be too burdensome for the small staff at Mabton City Hall.

Martinez agreed. Mabton Police Chief Rick

Gutierrez said when he was

working in Selah the police department there mailed out letters when they needed help from a landlord. He said it worked in Selah and currently there isn’t a chronic problem area in Mabton.

The letters would detail the

problems to the landlord or property owner. The letters would also ask for their help.

Council decided not to adopt any of the Sunnyside ordinances and instead di-rected Gutierrez to work on developing a form letter and

submit it to council at the next meeting. Council wants to try this method before adopting a nuisance ordinance.

G’view reviews in-house administrator candidatesArteaga, Alba in the running for city’s top job

by John Fannin

GRANDVIEW - And then there were two.

With only two in-house city administrative candi-

dates to choose from, the Grandview City Council and Mayor Norm Childress met twice last night, Tuesday, in executive session to deliber-ate on each of the applicants’

qualifications. The two employees who

applied for the Grandview city administrator position are Cus Arteaga and Elizabeth Alba.

Arteaga, likely the front-runner for the post, is a long-time public works di-rector for the city. Arteaga was named interim city ad-ministrator earlier this year following the resignation of Scott Staples.

Alba is Grandview’s dep-uty city clerk and deputy city treasurer. In addition, Alba, who has a Master’s degree, has experience that includes serving as a part-time faculty member for YVCC. She also organized the recent Great Grape Stomp in Grandview.

The first executive session last night was an hour-long meeting prior to the city council meeting. The second was a 30-minute executive session after the meeting.

No action was taken on

the hiring process after either session.

Councilman Harv Rodriguez recused himself from both executive ses-sions. He did not indicate to the press why or whether he is related to either Alba or Arteaga.

Childress said he is seeking input from the city council as to which of the two candidates to choose, or whether the city should open up the hiring process to include applicants from outside of Grandview city government.

Grandview has not adver-tised the city administrator vacancy beyond city hall, preferring to give first shot at the post to current city em-ployees.

Childress said he antici-pates reaching a decision by the next city council meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 28.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 SUNNYSIDE, WASHINGTON DAILY SUN NEWS - 3

by Corey Russell

One thousand dollars can go a long way in America. That amount would pay for most people’s rent and car payments. One thousand dol-lars would provide one heck of a week vacation at the beach in Oregon. But it can go so much further.

One thousand dollars can provide school supplies for 150 students in Costa Rica. It can build a well to supply clean water to a communi-ty in India. That amount of money buys 400 pairs of eye-glasses for needy patients in Nigeria. It supplies 24 desks for a community school in the Solomon Islands. It also provided a playground for an orphanage housing 128 or-phans infected with HIV in Thailand.

This is why Bill Jenkin, Assistant Governor of Area 9 in Rotary District 5060, wants Rotarians to give to the Rotary Foundation.

“We really do make a dif-ference,” Jenkins told the Sunnyside Noon Rotary Club this past Monday.

Rotary members who commit to annually contrib-ute $1,000 or more to the Rotary’s Annual Programs Fund, PolioPlus and PolioPlus Partners, or the Humanitarian Grants Program, are honored and recognized by The Paul Harris Society.

Jenkins said even $100 is stretched to its maximum po-tential. One hundred dollars buys polio vaccine for more than 150 children in India, Jenkins said.

very close. Recent political problems have slowed the attempt but Jenkins said he thinks those problems are be-ing ironed out.

“We’re hoping to take care of it very shortly,” he said.

Jenkins told the Rotarians that $100 can also purchase medication for nearly five months for a child living with HIV in Honduras. That same amount can buy textbooks for an elementary school in Zambia.

Jenkins passed out lit-erature claiming if every Rotarian gave $100 per year it would total $120 million. That’s about $2 a week from club members.

When the amount of money a Rotarian donates to Rotary funds adds up to $1,000, they become Paul Harris Fellows. Those who com-mit to donating $1,000 each year become part of the Paul Harris Society.

Jenkins rhetorically asked the Sunnyside Noon Rotary Club what The Paul Harris Society has done for him.

“The Paul Harris Society is not about personal recogni-tion, it’s about being part of the Rotary wheel,” he said.

Jenkins committed to do-nate $1,000 each year 10 years ago and has now giv-en $10,000 to Rotary funds, which gives him a designation as a major donor. Although there isn’t any personal rec-ognition, Jenkins said it does make him feel good.

He also spoke about the Permanent Fund. Jenkins said

this fund was established in 1982 to ensure a strong future for the foundation. Rotary’s goal is to have $1 billion in the fund by 2025. Currently the fund has $591 million.

Jenkins said the interest made on this money is filtered back to Rotary International, which in turn uses the money to fund club projects.

The last fund Jenkins spoke about was the Rotary Foundation Bequest Society. To become a member of this Rotarians bequeath a mini-mum of $10,000 to the Rotary Foundation in their estate.

Cuttingto the Core

Corey Russell

I love the smell of Sunnyside. Er, let me re-phrase that. I love the smell of Sunnyside in the fall. If I could channel Robert Duvall’s character in Apocalypse Now, Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore, I would say, “I love the smell of Sunnyside in the fall, it smells like…victory.”

Okay, I wouldn’t get that crazy. But I do love the way it smells around here.

The hops are being harvest-ed and the pungent smells are delightful as I drive home. I know it’s not fall yet, but it will be in one week, and the smells are coming out.

Pretty soon the smell of firewood burning in fireplaces will waft through the val-ley. The smell of cold, frigid nights and cold mornings will soon be upon us. And when fall really sets upon us,

it will be the smell of cook-ies and caramel apples during Halloween and roasted turkey for Thanksgiving.

I defy anyone to make grief with those smells.

The smells of cut grass seem stronger in the fall. Maybe the grass knows it is time to go into hibernation and gives off a strong smell as its final act of the season.

The Lower Valley will

probably get rained on this fall, like it normally does. And there is hardly anything any better than a nice fall rain on a warm day. Except maybe a nice summer rain on a blis-tering hot day.

Another thing I like about the coming of fall is the light. As a photographer I can ap-preciate the subtle diffusion a late fall sun can bring. It gives everything a rosy, warm

color. Summer is over and that can

always be a little depressing. Luckily we live in the Lower Valley where the smells and sights of early to mid-fall bring a last bit of enjoyment before the straight-up bitter cold hits us.


Do you smell that?

Forum...Forum...Miss Sunnyside program offers incredible experiences

Running for the title of Miss Sunnyside is an in-credible opportunity and the journey along the way is even more rewarding. Being able to represent the community at such a prime stage in a young girl’s life offers tremendous opportunities to build charac-ter as an individual.

As former Miss Sunnyside 2006-2007 I constantly refer back to my experience on the court, knowing that many of the characteristics I hold to-day come from my growth as Miss Sunnyside.

As a junior at Washington State University I say with confidence that my reign as Miss Sunnyside led me to where I am today. It is be-cause of Miss Sunnyside that I am studying to become a Communications, Public Speaking and Hospitality Business Management major.

Without the confidence I gained from Miss Sunnyside this dream would be very dif-ficult to reach.

Working for the Lower Valley Crisis Center during my reign for my community service project was incredibly rewarding. Getting involved with businesses such as the LVCC allows the people to see the impact young girls have in their own commu-nity. I saw changes in the Sunnyside community as I promoted the LVCC and their services, and I continue to re-flect on my work within the organization as the experi-ence was not only rewarding for the community but for me as well.

I have the Miss Sunnyside program to thank for the op-portunity to administer these changes and witness the re-sults in my personal life and in the community as a whole.

As a former Miss Sunnyside, I can actually speak from first-hand experi-ence the difference one person can make, the importance of commitment, and living up to the standards as a representa-tion of one’s community.

GUEST COLUMN

My six-year-old son - who just entered first grade - now has homework. As a respon-sible parent, I’m supposed to support this concept and dutifully encourage him to complete the required tasks pretending that I whole-heartedly endorse the idea of students being sent home with schoolwork.

I have to maintain this pose over the next 12 years as the workload increases and occasional assignments become nightly ones last-ing for hours. Homework is supposedly a good thing, so grown-ups are forced to sup-port it, even those of us who never endorsed the concept as students and question its va-lidity now.

For most of my academic career I devoted the time be-tween homeroom and my first class to homework, though I’m pretty sure “homeroom” was not the intended home for the work to be done in. During these seven minutes or so I scratched out answers to whatever math problems I could and maybe I studied a little for any test that might be in my future that day.

Most days, though, I didn’t bother to even fake an attempt at homework, instead spend-ing the time talking with my friend Nicole, who, due to the miracle of sitting alpha-betically, had been in close proximity since elementary school. She wasn’t much of

Do as I say, not as I did?BY DANIEL B. KLINE a homework

doer either, so we were eager to en-courage each other to ne-glect our assignments

in favor of a couple of min-utes of discussion.

In general, I pretty much never did any homework while actually at home. I’m sure I completed a major re-port or two outside of school, but those were surely excep-tions and in general I pretty much ignored whatever my teachers wanted me to do at night, usually to the detri-ment of my grades.

Not doing homework did not mean, however, that I did not do any work. I diligently read all assigned books, of-ten accomplishing this during class where 45 minutes would be spent on a couple of text book pages. This “strategy” tended to be a failure too as by the time a test occurred on any topic, I had already read countless other things and had forgotten the minutia that made up most teachers’ tests.

I wish I could say that as a grown-up, I now feel bad that I mostly didn’t do my home-work. I can’t, though because there’s still a large part of me that believes that in an al-most eight-hour school day, we should be able to create a system where very little work has to come home.

Obviously, kids need to learn how to complete work

on their own and certain con-cepts taught in school need reinforcing at home. I won-der, though, why we want our children spending more than full-time work hours on only one part of their devel-opment.

Why not carve out an hour of the school day for study-ing, completing independent projects and doing other “home” work? That way, stu-dents could have the benefit of working on their own with

the resources of a school and its teachers nearby.

If all homework had to be completed during this one-hour period, then teachers would have to collectively gauge the value of their as-signments. Of course, some studying for tests could be done at home and nothing would stop students from do-ing extra work, but the bulk of the assignments would be done during a student’s “work” day and not at home.

Sadly, though, I hardly see homework reform as a topic any school system seems likely to tackle and most par-ents take the “I had to do it, so you should too approach.” Personally, I’m fine with my son putting in an eight-hour day at school, then having the rest of the day for sports, Cub Scouts or whatever extracur-ricular activities he chooses.- Daniel B. Kline’s work appears in more than 100 papers weekly ([email protected]).

Mind The Gap. It’s a phrase commonly used to warn train passengers of the gap between the station plat-form and the train door.

But it’s a metaphor that applies to many areas of our lives. The Gap is the space between one activity and the next.

Not being mindful of the gap between a moving train and a concrete subway plat-form can cost you an arm or a leg. But ignoring other gaps can also be costly.

For example, if you have

Minding the gap keeps you from falling into the abyssBY LISA EARLE MCLEOD to leave

the house at 8 a.m., it’s prob-ably going to take you five minutes

to walk downstairs, get your briefcase, pour yourself a go-cup of coffee and get into your car. If you don’t allow for that five-minute Gap, you’ll still be brushing teeth at 7:59. Then as you rush out the door at 8:05 with toothpaste crusted around your mouth, spilling cof-fee in your wake, you’ll find yourself wondering why

you’re late. Again.The Gap is the unacknowl-

edged time that it takes to get out the door, say good-bye, park the car, wait for the shower to warm up and the million other things that we never factor into our schedules.

Here are a few common Gaps:

Parking: you pull up right on time for your 10 a.m. meet-ing. But if you can’t find a parking space, it’s 10:15 be-fore you walk in the door.

Waiting in the Lobby: how many times have you had to wait while the receptionist

dealt with the UPS guy? Your appointment doesn’t know what time you arrived; all they know is that they buzzed you back 10 minutes late.

Waking Up: if you set your alarm assuming that you’ll jump into the shower 30 sec-onds after it goes off, you’re starting your day in the hole. Very few of us jump out of bed ready to spring into ac-tion.

Settling into Your Seat: I learned this one the hard way. My first week of my first job, I walked into an 8 a.m. meeting at precisely 8 a.m., only to find the en-

tire group, coffee in hand, sitting attentively as the presenter began her presen-tation. My boss took me aside, telling me, “When we say it starts at 8, we mean it STARTS at 8.” Whether it’s a meeting or a movie, give yourself time to get your stuff, get your seat and get yourself settled.

Saying Hello and Good-bye: you can rush in and out of your home or office without greeting anyone. But if you allot a mere 5 or 10 minutes to connect with your co-workers and family, you’ll

However, until you walk the walk of Miss Sunnyside, her court, and the Miss Sunnyside Board, you will never truly understand the incredible experience this program offers.

GUEST COLUMN

Sure, the economy is a mess and the future isn’t looking so hot. But we’ve had big prob-lems before -- we’ve solved them before.

Take polio.According to the book

“SuperFreakonomics,” it would be hard to invent a more frightening illness. Polio struck children. Nobody knew how it was contracted. There was no prevention or cure. And it hit hard every summer.

My Aunt Cece contracted polio in the summer of 1951, just as she was starting the eighth grade. She came home from school with a high tem-perature, feeling very ill. The next morning, her legs gave out as she tried to get out of bed. By that evening, she was so weak she could barely move.

We can fix what ails usBY TOM PURCELL The public

was in such a panic that the ambu-lance driver wouldn’t take her to the hospital for

fear that other patients might become infected.

The Health Department quarantined her family…a no-tice was placed on their front door. My mother and her four other siblings were forbidden to leave their home or accept visitors for two weeks, the lifespan of the virus.

Within two weeks, polio had ravaged my aunt’s body. Her arms and legs were para-lyzed to varying degrees. She could barely lift her head. It would be a year before she could go home. She would need crutches for the rest of her life.

In 1952, America had its

worst bout with the virus. More than 57,000 polio cases were reported nationwide. Of those, 3,000 died and 21,000 were paralyzed permanently.

Had a preventive for polio not been found, say the authors of “SuperFreakonomics,” the United States would now be caring for at least 250,000 long-term polio patients at an annual cost of $30 billion.

In the 1950s there was an abundance of fear and doubt. But we didn’t dwell on what was wrong. We did what Americans always do. We fo-cused on the solution.

The March of Dimes, the largest charitable army the country had ever known, according to David M. Oshinsky, author of “Polio: An American Story,” mobi-lized millions to raise money.

A long line of researchers, including Jonas Salk, refused to accept defeat. Together, we won. On April 12, 1955, Salk’s vaccine was declared safe and effective.

It’s easy to find clarity re-garding events that took place about 50 years ago, but polio in the ‘50s certainly was dire. We responded well to the challenge.

Though her legs were left partially paralyzed, my Aunt Cece dwelled on what she could do, not on what she couldn’t. It took her two years of rehabilitation before she was able to get around on her own. She’d eventually marry and have four children and seven grandchildren.

We are in the midst of sig-

nificant challenges now. Our economy is stagnant. We’re on an unsustainable spend-ing path. There is an uneasy sense that things will get plenty worse before they get better.

But we’ve been here be-fore -- hello, late 1970s -- and good people came forward with new ideas, innovations

and government policies that resolved our problems.

We kicked polio’s butt, and I’m hopeful we’ll do likewise to the challenges facing us now.- Tom Purcell is a columnist for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and is nationally syndicated by Cagle Cartoons ([email protected]).

MOSES LAKE – Powered by juniors Juan Reynoso and Nathan Gonzalez, the 8th and 12th place finishers overall in the 53-runner field, the Sunnyside High School boys cross-country team split its four match-ups with 3A teams at Moses Lake yesterday afternoon.

Competing on the 5,000-meter, all-grass Blue Heron Park course, Sunnyside’s boys defeated both Pasco and West Valley by scores of 19-40 and 25-30, respectively.

The two Grizzly losses came against Kamiakin (18-42) and Southridge (26-32).

Reynoso, 8th overall from the 4A/3A, 53-runner var-sity field, was one of only 10 harriers to complete the Columbia Basin Big Nine race in under 18 minutes. He sped to a clocking of 17:28.70.

The winner, Kamiakin’s

Sunnyside boys split 3A league match-upsX-COUNTRY

Anthony Armstrong, was in a class by himself. He toured the Blue Heron Park track in a time of 16:24.80. That was 16.8 seconds quicker than the next closest finisher, run-ner-up German Silva of Eisenhower.

The 4A Ike Cadets went on to grab the third and fourth-place spots in the race, as well. Behind Silva’s second-place performance of 16:41.60, teammates Timothy Cummings and Jaziel Rodriguez had clockings of 16:45.30 and 16:47.60, respectively, to grab the third and fourth-place finishes.

Gonzalez was second in for the Grizzlies yesterday. He narrowly missed out on a Top 10 finish, placing 12th overall from the 53-runner varsity field. Gonzalez’s time was 18:04.00.

Also contributing to the Sunnyside boys team score were junior Omar Cantu,

22nd place in 18:47.00; senior Jaime Garcia, 36th place in 20:03.20; and ju-nior Anthony Garcia, 43rd place in 20:54.00.

Also competing for the Sunnyside boys varsity team yesterday, although their placings weren’t fac-tored into the scoring, were junior Emmanuel Torres, 44th place in 20:56.00; and Cee Soto, 49th place in 21:32.30.

In Tuesday’s CBBN girls cross-country action, the Lady Grizzlies went 1-3 in their four 3A match-ups. The one Sunnyside win came against Pasco, a 27-28 decision.

Pacing the Lady Grizzly harriers yesterday was se-nior Jocelyn Yanez. She claimed an 18th place finish from the 4A/3A, 46-girl field with a clocking of 23:05.63.

The 4A Ike Cadets grabbed the first and sec-ond-place spots in the

girls race. Mayra Chavez, a junior, turned in the fastest time, a clocking of 19:37.16. Teammate Berenice Penaloza, a se-nior, was the runner-up with a clocking of 19:45.80.

No other girl was able to finish under 20 minutes in the 5,000-meter race.

Besides Yanez, the Sunnyside High School girls cross-country team was represented yesterday by junior Anna Macias, 34th place in 25:13.59; fresh-man Kayla Gonzalez, 40th place in 25:56.99; senior Maria Olivera, 44th place in 29:16.87; and sopho-more Margarita Baceuas, 46th place in 36:06.41.

Next up for the Sunnyside High Scool cross-country squads is the Apple Ridge Invitational in Cowiche this coming Saturday.

GIRLS PREP VOLLEYBALL

by Bob Story

The Sunnyside Christian girls had to reach down deep for something extra last night, but in the end they persevered and walked off their own gym floor with a 3-2 victory.

The non-league win keeps the Lady Knights volleyball team perfect on the season at 3-0 in regulation matches. Overall, when factoring in shortened tournament match-es, Sunnyside Christian has a 4-3 record.

In defeating the Jaguars in

Sunnyside Tuesday evening, the Lady Knights rolled out to a convincing lead, taking the first two games by scores of 25-14, 25-21.

That was due in part to strong play at the net from the likes of Maddy Wavrin, who ended the night with a team-high 13 kills, and from Brittany Broersma, Makayla Morrow and Janelle DeGroot, who combined for 18 unre-turnable spikes.

“We played the first two games really good,” said SCHS Coach Stephanie

Greydanus. But, she said, “…we lost the momentum in the third game.” The Jaguars stormed back to take that third set, 25-23, despite Sunnyside Christian rallying late in the contest in an attempt to make it a three-game sweep.

Tri-Cities Prep, a class 2B club, forged the early advan-tage on the 1B Lady Knights in the fourth game, as well. Again, though, Sunnyside Christian tried rallying late, only to come up short, 26-24.

“We came from behind in the fourth game,” Greydanus

said, but acknowledged the Jaguars’ efforts in holding on for the win.

That sent the match to a shortened, race-to-15 rub-ber game. The Lady Knights wasted little time in asserting control, speeding off with a 15-8 decision.

“We took the control back in game five to hold on to the match victory,” Greydanus said.

“The girls fought hard for this win.”

Greydanus said her team has some things to work

on in practice this coming week, but overall expressed satisfaction in how her girls performed last night in their home opener of the season.

From an individual standpoint Tuesday night, Sunnyside Christian’s serving leaders included the senior DeGroot, who successfully put 23-of-26 serves into play, and her younger sister, soph-omore Danika DeGroot, who was 16-for-17 from the ser-vice line.

The older of the two DeGroot girls, Janelle, also led Sunnyside Christian with six defensive digs. Wavrin was credited with digging up

three balls.The Lady Knight volleyball

team also excelled last night in maintaining rallies. The older DeGroot, again, led the way with 13 perfect passes, followed by Wavrin and the younger DeGroot with eight pinpoint passes apiece.

Collecting the most assists for the winners Tuesday eve-ning was junior setter Alyssa Haak, 23 in all. The younger DeGroot added an eight-as-sist effort.

Sunnyside Christian is scheduled to travel to Pasco this coming Saturday to com-pete at the Tri-Cities Prep Invitational.

GRANDVIEW – The Lady Greyhound volleyball team scored a league victory last night, Tuesday, with a con-vincing 3-0 sweep of visiting East Valley.

Grandview jumped out from the start with a 25-13 win in game one, followed by 25-19 and 25-15 victories in games two and three.

Coach John La Fever said he was happy with the result, especially after his squad lost the last two non-counting mini-matches of a tourney at the SunDome this past week-

Grandview sweeps East Valleyend.

“We played pretty well,” he said of Grandview’s effort last night. “We did a much better job of running some of the plays we needed.”

La Fever was particularly pleased with his team’s bal-anced spiking attack.

The Lady Greyhounds’ team effort at the net was led by Adriana Ramos with six kills. Grandview teammates Haley Smasne and Taylor Hall both added five kills, while Katie Eucker chipped in four.

La Fever said two other players at the net split time, as

Mikaela Espinoza and Jessica Hall combined for five kills.

Payton Parrish had an all-around strong match for Grandview with 21 assists, seven service points and six digs.

La Fever praised the play of Crystal Navarro, who stepped up last night to lead Grandview with 15 digs and 15 service points.

Grandview (2-0, 4-0) will be at home again tomor-row, Thursday, when it plays Toppenish.- John Fannin can be reached at 509-837-4500 or by e-mail at [email protected]

MABTON – The volleyball match between the Mabton Vikings and the Connell Eagles last night started out very badly for the Lady Vikes, according to Mabton Coach Marty McCallum. But once his team settled down things improved dramatically but the Eagles still walked away with a 25-8, 25-18, 25-

Lady Vikes fall to Connell in three18 victory.

“Things started out re-ally bad but we improved,” McCallum said.

He said Connell is favored to win the SCAC this season. He called the Eagles a fun-damentally sound team that pushes a lot of offense and plays great defense.

“They are physically taller and stronger than us,” he said. “We have to have everything

working to be able to beat a team like that.”

The Lady Vikes clearly didn’t have everything work-ing. Mabton came out flat in the first game and got beat badly. McCallum said his team just couldn’t pass and size wise, they couldn’t match up with the taller Connell players. A lot of mental mis-takes were made.

An injury riddled Sunnyside volleyball team hosted the Southridge Suns last night, los-ing in three games, 25-13, 25-7, 25-10.

Due to the injuries Sunnyside Coach Mikal Aberle called up freshman Vianca Madrigal and sophomore Cheyenne Schultz to the varsity team for the first time.

“I was so proud of them,” Aberle said. “They played awe-some for not ever playing on the varsity.”

She said Madrigal provid-ed the Sunnyside Grizzlies with some amazing sets and digs. Schultz, she said, played awesome defense and never hesitated.

Aberle also pointed out the play of Jill Spini, whom she said helped guide both Schultz and Madrigal in their court ro-tation.

Aberle said Sunnyside tried Rod Smith/Daily Sun News

GIRLS PREP SOCCER

by John Fannin

Last year the Lady Grizzly girls soccer team lost to Hanford by a score of 8-0.

Last night, Tuesday, Sunnyside cut that deficit in half with a 4-0 home loss to the Falcons.

“At the end the Hanford coach said our girls were awesome and to keep do-ing whatever we’re doing,” said Sunnyside Coach Sylvia Villagrana.

Sunnyside’s Analisa Van Oostrum attempts to head a ball during the Lady Grizzlies’ soccer match last night against Hanford.

Lady Grizzlies show progress in loss to Hanford

The Lady Grizzlies shut out Hanford for the first 20 min-utes of the match, before the Falcons scored twice to grab a 2-0 lead at the half.

The Falcons then tacked on a pair of insurance goals in the second half.

“Their girls had more accu-rate passing, there was always someone backing up the oth-er player,” Villagrana said of Hanford’s teamwork.

Sunnyside had some good teamwork of its own, as

keeper Perla Ponce had to temporarily leave the match with an injury. Ponce and replacement Ruby Herrera combined for 18 saves against the Hanford attack.

Though shut out on the scoreboard, the Lady Grizzlies had opportunities around the Falcon net.

“Our girls had quite a few opportunities to score,” said Villagrana. “We had 11 shots for the match and we were see “Lady Grizzlies” next page

MABTON – The Lady Viking girls soccer team made its home debut in fine fashion last night with a 10-0 romp over Granger.

Alma Leon scored the first goal for Mabton in the first minute of action Tuesday night. The score was far from her last, as Leon booted in five goals on the night.

Coach Lucia Tovar said her team did a great job of passing the ball. “We were de-termined to come out strong,” she said.

Also scoring last night for the Lady Vikings were Julia Moraes with two goals, as well as Jessica Leon, Jazzie Sustaita and Baylee Tyus with a goal apiece.

Mabton pounded 22 shots at the net to-tal.

Tovar also praised her defense.“The defense remained strong and we

did not allow one shot on goal,” she said.Mabton travels to Kiona-Benton tomor-

row, Thursday, and Tovar said even with the lopsided win there is still room for im-provement.

“Although we still have things we need to work on, the team continues to work strong together,” she said.

TOPPENISH – The Grandview girls soccer team defeated Toppenish’s Wildcats 3-0 yesterday, Sept. 14.

Coach Anne Holden was pleased to report that the team cre-ated 15 scoring opportunities, while Toppenish managed only three, each blocked by goal keeper Renelle Kalaw.

Center midfielder Oryan Matheny collected all three scores for the Lady Greyhounds. The first came within 15 minutes of the first half. Matheny scored following a pass from defensive mid-fielder Isabel Islas.

Matheny’s second score came 30 minutes into the game and she managed it unassisted, though her final score was aided by defender Gabby Montelongo.

“We were real happy with the way we dominated the other players and created [scoring] chances,” said Holden.

Holden said the Lady Greyhounds will be focusing on im-plementing a style of play that combines improved possession, shifting defense and penetrating gaps.

“We are working on our speed,” she added.The Lady Greyhounds (1-1, 1-2) move back into battle against

The bride is the daughter of Ed and Lori Schlect of Mica and the groom is the son of Fred and Sheri Boboth of Sunnyside.

The bride wore a white, strapless a-line gown with a full skirt that included pick-ups. The gown was decorated with a lace-up back and a train. The bride carried a large bouquet of red roses accented with baby’s breath.

Kelly A. Schlect of Spokane served as maid of honor, and Kelly M. Schlect of Moscow, Idaho, Carrie Boboth of Forest Grove, Ore., Dani Knechtel of Portland, Ore. and Jenna Ainslie of Spokane all served as bridal attendants.

Dear Savvy Senior,I’m in the market for some

senior-friendly furniture and could use some help. My husband and I have ar-thritis and have gotten to the point where getting up from a seated position – espe-cially from our living room couch and recliners – has become a real chore. Can you recommend some good cushioned lift chairs or fur-niture accessories that can help us?

Can’t Get Up

Dear Can’t,The task of sitting down

and/or getting up from soft cushioned furniture is a common problem for many seniors who struggle with arthritis pain and mo-bility issues. Fortunately there are a variety of home furnishing products and ac-cessories that can help give you a boost.

Lift ReclinersHaving been around for

nearly 30 years now “elec-tric recliner lift chairs” are one of the most popular types of senior-friendly fur-niture on the market today. While they look just like

Senior-friendly furnitureregular recliner chairs, lift recliners come with a built-in motor that actually raises and lowers the entire chair, which makes sitting down and getting up much easier.

How to ChooseWith literally dozens of

different types and styles of lift recliners to choose from, here are some key points to help you cut through all the options and select a good fit for you and your husband.

Chair size: The recliner needs to fit the person set-ting in it, so your body size (height and weight), or your husband’s, will actually de-termine the size of chair you need.

Reclining options: Aside from the lifting system, the degree in which the chair reclines is your choice too.

Most lift recliners are sold as either two-position, three-position or infinite-position lift chairs. The two-position chairs recline only to about 45 degrees which makes them ideal for watching TV or reading. But if you plan to nap, you’ll probably want a three-position or infinite-position chair that reclines almost completely horizon-tally.

Fabric and features: You’ll also need to choose the type of fabric and color you want the chair to be, or if you want any extra fea-tures like built-in heating or massage elements, or a wall hugging chair which is great if you’re tight on space.

Where to ShopWhile there are many

companies that make lift

recliners – such as Med-Lift, NexIdea, Health Circle, Catnapper, Berkline, Franklin and even La-z-boy – Pride Mobility (pride-mobility.com) and Golden Technologies (goldentech.com) have been around the longest and have the best reputation. With prices typi-cally ranging between $600 and $2,000, you can find lift recliners at many medical supply stores and online. You’ll also need to know that Medicare provides some help purchasing a lift

The reign of the 2009-10 Miss Sunnyside Court is rapidly coming to a close, but the accomplishments of this court are becoming leg-end.

While past Sunnyside community floats have al-ways performed well in Washington state parades, the ‘Diamond Queen’ has managed to claim top hon-ors in 10 of 15 parades it participated in, including Wenatchee’s Apple Blossom, Spokane’s Lilac Festival and Seattle’s Seafair parades.

“In my opinion,” said Miss Sunnyside Pageant coordinator Teri Alvarez-Ziegler, “We won the triple crown of parades.”

The Diamond Queen and the 2009-10 Miss Sunnyside Court made their final away voyage this past weekend in Harrah, coming away from the parade with the Sweepstakes award.

The 2009-10 Miss Sunnyside Court will grace the Diamond Queen for one final ride at this coming weekend’s Sunshine Days Parade on Saturday, Sept. 18.

Saturday evening the 2010-11 Miss Sunnyside court will be crowned and

chair. They cover the lift mechanism portion, which equates to around $300 to-wards your purchase.

If, however, the lift reclin-ers don’t appeal to you, here are several other products on the market that might.

Risedale chairs: These are open-legged, wing back chairs that are very different from lift reclin-ers because only the seat cushion lifts instead of the whole chair. Made by Uplift Technologies (up-lift.com, 800-387-0896), the Risedale retails for around $500. Uplift also sells a variety of portable seat lifts that can work with any chair in your home or you can take it when you travel.

Couch Cane: Made by Standers, this nifty tool acts as a support handle that makes sitting and standing much easier and it works on both couches and recliners. The base fits directly un-der the feet of the furniture for sturdy support. Couch Canes sell for around $100 and are sold online at medi-cal equipment sites like medexsupply.com (888-433-2300) and activeforever.com (800-377-8033).

Furniture risers: Incre-asing the height of your existing furniture a few inches is another inexpen-sive way to make it more accessible. Furniture ris-ers typically range from 2 to 5 inches in height, are made of heavy duty plastic or wood, and are inserted on the base of the legs or supports of your furniture. Costs range from a few dol-lars up to $50 and can be purchased at Walmart and Target, or online at amazon.com and mobilityhome.com.

Gladys Marion Larson, 92, of Sunnyside passed away on Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2010.

Gladys was born July 1, 1918 on their homestead near Big Sandy, Mont. to Albert and Clara (Berdahl) Larson. The family later moved into Big Sandy, where Gladys completed her education, graduating from Big Sandy High School in 1936.

Shortly after her graduation her mother died unexpectedly. Gladys was taken to San Jose, Calif. by her father, and lived with her paternal aunt Ella (Larson) and Ella’s husband Oscar Buttles. Gladys remained in San Jose until her move to Sunnyside in 2002.

Gladys was a dedicated and loving woman. She cared for her aunt and uncle until their passing in the 1980s.

Gladys loved to relate how she danced with the service men at the U.S.O. in San Jose and Fort Ord, Calif. during WWII. Gladys spent the first years of her working career as a beautician. Later in life she worked for many years with the Keystone Coffee Company in San Jose. She re-tired from that organization in 1980.

Gladys had a solid, loving relationship with her God. She was a member of First Church of Christ Scientist in Sunnyside and

San Jose, Calif. Her faith gave her demeanor a calm and gentle aspect. She believed mankind was created in the image of God and as such she always

trusted in the fact that life would be completed as God saw fit.She is survived by several nieces and nephews, whom she thought of

often; Max Larson of Portland, Ore., Kenneth Larson of Fort Collins, Colo., Donna Larson of Missoula, Mont., John Urness of Sunnyside, Carol Mchan of Roseville, Calif., Phyllis Wallace of Martinez, Calif., Bonnie Miller of Mountain Home, Idaho, Lori Rariden of Normal, Ill. and William Larson of Albuquerque, N.M.; great-niece who was very close to her heart, Gina Vinson of San Leandro, Calif.; two sisters-in-law, Harriet (Johnny) Larson of Lavonia, Mich. and Aufelda (Lloyd) Larson of Surprise, Ariz.

Gladys was preceded in death by her mother and father; her sister, Helen Urness; her brothers, Albie, Lloyd and Johnny Larson; and a niece, Linda Larson.

Gladys’ passing will leave a void in the lives of all of her relatives and friends.

Burial will be held at Oak Hill Memorial Park in San Jose, Calif. Those wishing to honor Gladys memory may contribute to Lower Val-

ley Hospice, 3920 Outlook Road, Sunnyside, WA 98944. Those wishing to sign her on-line memorial book may do so at www.

funeralhomesmith.com Smith Funeral Home LTD and Crematory is in charge of arrangements.

GLADYS MARION LARSON

But the Lady Vikes held their heads up high in the sec-ond and third games. Although losing 25-18 in both games, the Vikings improved consider-ably in those last two contests, McCallum said.

“Once we started rolling of-fensively and began scoring some points the girls got excit-ed and fired up,” he added.

Celina Rodriguez had one

dig and one perfect pass for the Vikings. Teammate Isabela Ahumada finished the night with two kills, four digs, one perfect pass and was 6-for-7 on the service line.

Dominique Martinez had one dig, one block and was 1-for-3 serving. Fellow Viking Jackie Cruz finished with three kills, six digs, two blocks, four perfect passes and was

2-for-6 from the service line. Cassandra Madrigal had two kills, three digs and one block for Mabton.

Veronica Vasquez add-ed five kills, three digs, three blocks and was 2-for-4 from the service line for the Vikings. Terryanna Wheeler finished with three assists, one kill, 10 digs and was 4-for-4 on the ser-vice line. Melissa Gutierrez had

two kills, 14 digs, eight perfect passes and was 4-for-5 from the service line. Jordain Saenz finished last night’s play with eight assists and two digs.

Mabton (0-1, 0-2) will travel to Finley on Thursday, Sept. 16, for a 7 p.m. match with Riverview.- Corey Russell can be contacted at 509-837-4500, or email [email protected]

to stay afloat as long as possible but just wasn’t able to put any-thing together against the Suns. One bright point for the Lady Grizzlies came in the second game with Southridge leading 9-0. Melissa Amaro then reeled off five straight points on her serve to cut the lead to 9-5. The Suns then went on a 16-2 run to close out the game.

Aberle said she never ex-pected her team to be playing so hard this early in the season.

“These girls work so hard at practice and in games,” she said. “Our goal is to touch ev-ery ball and never let a ball just drop and I rarely see that.”

Aberle said she hopes to con-tinue working with her offense.

“We can rally with any team,

we just can’t put the ball down on the other side,” she added. “Our hitting is terribly incon-sistent and weak. We will be focusing on hitting more in practice and I will be running drills that force my girls to hit hard and in bounds.”

The Lady Grizzlies were led by Kiana Ramos with six kills. Amaro finished the night with

seven assists and 16 perfect passes. Kendra Hollmeyer had two blocks for Sunnyside.

The Lady Grizzlies (0-3) will travel to Kennewick on Thursday, Sept. 16, when they play Kamiakin in a 7 p.m. match.- Corey Russell can be contacted at 509-837-4500, or email [email protected]

library.Palacios was a city employ-

ee in 1996 and Childress sat on the council that approved the ordinance.

In the larger picture, though, the city is looking to find a permanent fix for legal services.

Legal optionscontinued from page 1

Interim City Administrator Cus Arteaga and Police Chief Dave Charvet presented an option last night that included hiring someone specifically for prosecution services and another person for the city’s other legal needs.

Another possible option is

bringing a part-time city attor-ney on staff, like Maxwell.

The Grandview City Council will continue the dis-cussion on legal services at a future meeting.- John Fannin can be reached at 509-837-4500 or by e-mail at [email protected]

reputation of the dance hall before issuing a renewal. The number of policing and traffic problems, disturbance of the peace, criminal activ-ity and any other harmful or disorderly behavior will be evaluated.

Commissioner Darrell Tadlock suggested that they add two sections to the ordi-nance referencing the city’s noise ordinance and zoning regulations.

Meanwhile, Commissioner Francisco Guerrero expressed concern that the strict regula-

Dance hallscontinued from page 1

tions might push business out of Sunnyside.

“It is strict,” said Ayling. “But we’ve gotten to the point where we need to get strict.”

Ayling continued, “We want to cater [to businesses], but we want to have respon-sible businesses as well.”

Tadlock moved to approve adding the two new sections to the ordinance and to send it back to the City Council. Newly appointed commis-sioner Jesse Hernandez Jr. seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously.
