Millard served in the Korean War and received the award for his work in keeping
South Korea free from Communist North
Korea.
Millard, pictured right, attended the

School takes time to honor American veterans
Page 2, Mattawa Area News, Nov. 12, 2014
Strictly Joyce
By Joyce Edie
It is Tuesday, November 11. Here
I sit, working on the newspaper. It’s
a bit after 6 a.m. I’ve been up for an
hour or so watching the news. A fire
is going in the wood stove, I’ve had a
bunch of coffee, read some scripture
(Proverbs 3 was good) kissed my husband and sent him off to work. A fairly
normal morning. The dog is snoozing
on her pillow and the chickens are still in their house where a light
is on for them this cold morning and the American flag is snapping
on the pole here at the home place. A fairly normal morning. And
that is because of one thing. Because I live in America where for
over 200 years we have had people brave enough, smart enough
and tough enough to insist on basic freedoms and rights. And when
someone tried to deny them, they fought like all of our lives depended on it. Every little thing I have done this morning, without
even thinking about it, and the job I do every week, is made possible because of American military veterans. I own a newspaper.
No one can come and tell me what to print or not print. I worship
God and read the Bible. No one can come and tell me I can’t do
that. I drink coffee, have a dog, own some really stupid chickens,
watch the news, have a little piece of land, kiss the man I want to...
and my everyday life goes on and on and on because people were
willing to fight for my rights. Think about your day. What are you
getting to do because of the freedoms here in America? Are you a
farmer, a doctor, a teacher, a student? How do you say thank you
for that? The only way is to honor our veterans, tell them thank
you, and make sure you do your part to see that America stays
free. Get involved in something to make America better. Whether
it is putting your life into raising good kids, volunteering, giving
money to good causes, voting, telling politicians what you think...
whatever you can do, please do it. You get the chance because of
military veterans.
Thank you veterans. Thank you with all my heart. I will try to
honor your service to me and this country I love.

Irene M. Curdy of Desert Aire passed
away Friday, November 7 at home surrounded by family at 80 years of age. Born
to Roy & Lena (Wagner) Bohn in Potlatch,
Idaho, she attended school in Park, Idaho
and later graduated Salutatorian from Potlatch High at the early age of 16. She soon
moved to Moscow, Idaho for work and later
to Spokane where she worked and attended
Spokane Community College.
While living in Spokane she met and
married Jim Curdy, moving to the Mattawa
area in late 1966. She worked part time at
the local hardware store and was a teacher’s
assistant at Wahluke School District until
March 1968 when her son was born. Later she was involved with PTA and taught Sunday
school for many years as well as Vacation Bible School while her kids were growing up.
Her gentle and caring nature made her a genuinely good teacher for many children, including her own.
She was an early member of the Sagebrush Senior Center and also a Lifetime member
of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, spending many of her early years volunteering and making
new friends. For the past nine years she was primary caregiver after
her diabetic husband suffered a stroke.
Her greatest joy in life was spending time with family and friends,
playing with her children and grandkids and tending to her flowers
and garden. Irene was always busy doing something, from repairing
things around the house to helping neighbors in need.
Later in life after moving to Desert Aire, she acquired an injured
stray black Lab, she named “Ben,” nursing him back to health and
later taking him on daily walks in her neighborhood and later on the
new shoreline trails added by the PUD.
She was preceded in death by her parents Roy and Lena Bohn,
daughter Laura Wisdom, brother Archie Bohn, and granddaughter
Catherine Wisdom. She is survived by her husband James “Jim”
Curdy, son James (Linda) Curdy. Grandchildren; Ranaun “Eric” Wisdom, Amber Wisdom of Eugene Oregon, Heather (Luis) Medrano,
Trevor Waters, Kyle Romaneski of Yakima and six great grandchildren.
Throughout her two year battle with colon cancer, including multiple surgeries and chemotherapy, she almost always had a good outlook on life trying to find something good in each day. She will be
truly missed and always in our hearts.
Services will be held Friday, November 14 at 10 am in Yakima at
Rainier Memorial Center located at 2807 Terrace Heights Dr., next
to Terrace Heights Memorial Park. She will be laid to rest at Terrace
Heights immediately following the services.

Students hearing ideas for success
Season ends for Wahluke
photo by
joyce edie photo
Eight members of the Ińiguez family, former Mattawa residents, were at the Wahluke School District
last week to speak to students. Five are pictured here while three others
speak in another classroom. From these second graders at Saddle Mountain
Elementary to the high school, the family talked to students about how to
plan and handle your life to be successful.

No stats were available, but the Warriors did not
have a good outcome against Zillah in the District
playoffs last Friday. The Warriors came in as the
fourth seed matching up against first place Zillah.
The final score was 42-8. Alex Chiprez carries the
ball for Wahluke in this game photo.
Eight members of the Santiago Ińiguez and Guadalupe Rodriguez family, former Mattawa residents, were at the Wahluke School District last week to speak to students. From
the second grade to the high school, the family, five of them pictured above, talked to students about how to plan your life to be successful.
The family said they have been doing motivational speaking for some time, but this was
the first time so many of them teamed up to give a presentation. Basing their presentation
on The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People by Stephen Covey, the family talked
with students about planning for success. Even as low as the second grade, students were
encouraged to do the things that will make them successful later in life. Things like; listen
to your parents, do your homework, don’t just sit and watch TV, be responsible for the
things you know you need to get done.
Teacher Mark Hull said he especially appreciated the family’s encouragement to the
kids to dream and dream big.
“They told them to dream big and hold on to those dreams. They are reachable,” Hull
said. One reason they can say that and be legitimate is because of their father. The Ińiguez
children say their father dreamed and believed all his children would go to college, and
they did. All 11 of them are college graduates.
Wahluke runs to new records
The Warrior Cross Country season concluded on Saturday, Nov. 8 in Pasco as Lalo
Valdenea, Stephanie Juarez, and Jessica Arellano ran in the State Championships.
In the girls race, a stunning finish took place as Zillah’s Alexis Redfield came from seven seconds back in the last quarter mile to claim the victory over Cascade-Leavenworth’s
Erin Mullins. Stephanie Juarez accomplished her goal of breaking 22:00 minutes, posting
a 21:59 and crossing the line in 84th place. She had set out to beat the 22 minute barrier and
did it with no time to spare. Her new time is the fastest performance at state by Wahluke
runners, and set a new school record for 5000 meters. Jessica Arellano finished in 101st
place by clocking 22:33. She is third on the all time list for performances at state by Warrior
runners, behind Stephanie and Thalia Quintero’s 22:21, set in 2010.
The girl’s team competition was taken by Lakeside, but the SCAC showed well in this
year’s race with Zillah taking fifth place, and the Royal girls finishing ninth.
In the boy’s race, Ryan Clarke of Port Townsend won the day by crossing the line in an
amazing 15:37. For the Warriors, Lalo Valdenea, running in his first state championships,
finished in 17:32, good for 57th place. Lalo now ranks third on the Warrior all time list for
state performances behind Ramon Bravo’s 17:02 from last year, and Salvador Mendoza’s
17:28 from 1997. As a Warrior junior, Lalo can set his sights on those times ahead of him
for his senior year.
Team first place for the boys went to Medical Lake, with Royal taking seventh.
Congratulations Warriors on your great runs.

Salmon fishing season is over, but not before Jill Jenkin
caught a king-sized King here on the Columbia. Jill caught
the estimated 42 pound fish on Oct. 22 south of Vernita
Bridge. She’s not the only one excited. Husband Jeremy Jenkin, pictured beside her, is pretty impressed too. The couple
said it was the biggest fish to date that has been in Kevin and
Rick Long’s new Kinghunter Guide Service boat.

Road work set for
Mattawa this week
Mattawa Public Works wants residents and drivers to
know that Third Place in Mattawa will be being paved all
week. They ask people to avoid the area if possible and
watch out for workers.
Work continuing on
Wanapum stabilization
So when will the Columbia River water be back up to
its regular levels? According to Grant County PUD Public
Affairs Officer Chuck Allen, the district is working to have
enough done to begin raising the reservoir behind the dam
to an intermediate level by the end of the year. He said that
they then hope to have work completely finished before
the start of the recreation season of 2015.
The water level behind Wanapum Dam was drawn down
in February after a 65 foot crack was found in one of the
piers at the dam. Since then no one has been allowed on the
exposed shoreline because of safety concerns and Native
American artifact and sacred ground concerns.

District, screening 1,028 children for
hearing and sight. Drivers, who put
on hundreds of volunteer miles every
year, are Lions Mike and Pat Parker,

Van, above, back and forth across
the Northwest to help communities.
The local Desert Aire Mattawa Lions
