| Just in time for snow |  | | Natalie Rodriguez and Isaac Bensing were winners of snow sleds in this year's Letters to Santa Contest held annually by the Gazette-Tribune. Rodriguez received her sled from Prince's Ace Hardware in Oroville and it was presented by store owner Jack Hughes. Bensing received his from Lee Frank Mercantile in Tonasket and was presented by store manager Stacey Kester.
Each year a letter from a Tonasket and Oroville area child are randomly drawn at the G-T office. Both stores generously donate sleds to the lucky winners, something they've been doing for more than a decade.
Nine-year-old Rodriguez lives on Buckhorn Mountain and said she likes her sled a lot and is excited to be one of the winners, adding that she has never had a sled like it before and is lucky she has snow where she lives. Photos by Charlene Helm & Brent Baker |

TONASKET - George Frank was pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call from Afghanistan.
The package that came shortly thereafter left tears in his eyes.
Thanks to Mary Karrer, a Tonasket resident overseeing a construction project with the Army Corps of Engineers at Bagram Air Base, the Armed Forces Legacy Project is the proud recipient of an American flag flown on the Afghanistan base on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2011.

| Much of Oroville's success this season has come from its 3-point shooting prowess. So when the Hornets got shut out from behind the arc, while Brewster hit 10 triples in Friday's contest, the result was predictable. The Bears' 68-53 victory wasn't at all surprising in that context.
