First Book Hood River, Wasco
counties give books to kids
Johanson Paul
■ By First Nancy
Book Hood River
and Wasco counties
Children in Hood River
and Wasco counties are
going to learn new things,
see new places, develop new
abilities, and open up their
world.
In October, First Book
grants were given to in
Hood River County to
Oregon Child Development
Coalition (Migrant Head
Start), The Next Door
Klahre House, May Street
Elementary English Learners
Program, and ExCEL After
School Program. About 558
children ages birth to teen-
ager will receive four or more
books in the next 6 months.
In Wasco County, 448
students in grades K-3 at
Chenowith and Colonel
Wright elementary schools
will each receive three books
to read at school and then
take home to keep.
The books are selected by
the teachers and often the
students at about $3 a book
from the First Book National
Marketplace. Last school
year, students at Chenowith
Elementary wrote the follow-
ing after receiving First Book
books to Roxanne Ringer,
who ordered and distributed
the books to students:
“Thank you for the pres-
ents. Your gift makes us feel
good and happy. We like our
books! The jokes are funny!”
In Hood River, a Spanish
speaking mom being home
visited by a Family Home
Visitor from The Next Door
said, “My baby points to one
of the dogs in a favorite book
and calls it the family dogs
name, showing me he is
connecting the story to real
life. I always make sure and
add more language to what
my baby says about the book
to add to his vocabulary and
concepts.”
Wasco County and Hood
River County First Book
received funding from
United Way of the Columbia
Gorge, Gorge Community
Foundation — Dr. Issai and
Dr. Ellen Hosiosky Fund
and Saxby/Sharp Fund,
Northwest Natural Gas,
Wasco Masonic Lodge, and
donations from local people
and businesses who support
the emerging literacy of
children and want to see
children experience the joys
of having and reading books.
First Book in the Columbia
Gorge community is asking
for donations now in order to
give out books grants to the
local Head Start programs
and Family Services Home
visiting Program (birth to 3)
at The Next Door in January
2022. If you can give, send
your tax deductible donation
to First Book Hood River
County, PO Box 221 Hood
River, OR 97031 or First Book
Chenowith Elementary students Bryanna Morales, second grade,
Anthony Diaz, third grade, Melody Mcfall, third grade, Elanor Dye,

Melissa Werkheiser 600
■ By Jeff Olson
Hockey fans know that
at the end of each game,
three stars are announced.
They skate out on the ice
under rotating spotlights to
thunderous applause from
the crowd.
Well, this past week at
Hood River’s Orchard Lanes,
we had three clear-cut star
bowlers:
1.Rod Pratt
2.John Mayfield
3.Melissa Werkheiser
Rod Pratt ended up as the
big man on campus with a
glitzy scratch 717 series that
he fired in the Industrial
league. That fine three game
set was 111 pins over his
average. Mr. Pratt has had
his bowling engines on full
throttle this sea-son even
without his partner Whitney.
He’s currently averaging 206
in the Industrial and 209 in
the County leagues. Those
area code numbers con-
firm that Rod is a heck of a
bowler!
John Mayfield starred in
the same session with a nifty
scratch 645 series. That set
was a whopping 168 sticks
over his average. John is
relatively new to league ac-
tion but he clearly has great
potential based on his latest
effort. Right now, he’s just
learning how to bowl. One
thing is clear, John has one
important point covered in
the modern game of bowling
because he imparts plenty of
speed on his ball.
Melissa Werkheiser is our
newest star, this is her first go
in league action at Orchard
Lanes. Last week she shined
like a super nova in the
County League with a right
on the number, beautiful
scratch 600 series.
She also ended up 111
pins over her average. Folks,
a 600 series is just plain good
bowling no matter who you
are and it’s always quite spe-
cial to attain that milestone
number. A hearty welcome
to Melissa, we are thrilled
that you are bowling league
and, obviously, having post-
ed such a nice series, you
have awesome potential.
In this session, she beat 27
other bowlers in the league.
The only one she didn’t
beat was super star Rod
Pratt. Folks, bowling is for
everyone, so ladies, follow
Melissa’s lead and join in on
the action of league bowling.
It’s a ton of fun!
TEAM OF THE WEEK:
Rod Pratt
717
Jeff Miller
678
Bill Whetstine 669
Patrick Olson 660
Jeremy Bloom 659
3,383 Total pins
Individual highlights are
important but leagues are
built around teams that
compete against each other
every week. It’s always re-
warding to bowl a big game
or series but it’s also exciting
to win as a team. Here are
some examples:
In the high scoring hot-
shot Wednesday Fraternal
league, several matches
were slated between top
teams. The big first place 602
average Men with Zeal faced
up against the 581 average
Blue Bombers in a match.
The Zeal boys put on quite a
show, knocking down 1,878
sticks which is a 206 average
per man, crushing the
Bombers 19 to 6.
Leading the Zeal crew
were big shooting Bill
Whetstine with a 669 series
and young star Levi Phelps
with a 658 set. The Bombers
couldn’t compete, posting a
lackluster 186 average. The
top 615 average Montavon’s
Berries team was pitted
against the Three Wizards
who won the first round.
Montavon’s put a spell on
the Wizards blitzing them
23 to 2 by averaging 210 per
man.
The Berries guys all
notched 600s: Jeff Brittle
644, Roger Montavon 620
and Patrick Olson 633. Folks,
that’s solid team bowling!
The 592 average Hood
River Sports Club and 580
average 6th Street Bistro
each won their matches
17 to 8. Bernie Keys led
the Sports Club with a 636
series as they topped E & L
Auto Machining. The Bistro
boys averaged 200 in a close
match with 584 average Mt.
Hood BBQ team. The upshot
of these matches is that
these four top teams now
lead the league and all of
them are poised to win the
second round.
Zeal leads with 59 points,
Berries have 57 points,
Sports Club has 53 points
and 6th Street is at 50 points.
Go bowling everybody!
