Early on Brian Smith taught Brianne good archery etiquette in- cluding: don’t talk while others are shooting, don’t touch the arrows until they are scored, stand to the side of the target as arrows are pulled from the target, and be a good sport. Brianne’s favorite rule though, was “aim for Dad’s arrows.” As Brian Smith is an excellent shot, he was teaching Brianne two main things—to focus on where the arrows were going, and to shoot for the center of the target. The lessons worked, as Brianne had tapped her dad’s arrows multiple times, inally con- necting for a Robin Hood when she was 10. Also at age 10 she shot her irst 300 at an indoor competition, with 300 being the highest score possible. Brianne is now 14 ½ and is the NFAA (National Field Archery Association) national record holder for the youth girls BHFS in marked 3D. In 2013 Brianne placed second at NFAA field nationals in Darrington, WA, with only one point between her and first place. Brianne also has three Indoor Sectionals wins, which includes the states of Alaska, Washing- ton, Oregon, Idaho, Mon- tana and Wyoming. In ad- dition to the national and sectional wins, Brianne has 23 state championships in the various archery cat- egories of ield, target, 3D, marked 3D, Vegas (3 spot), and indoor (5 spot). Boardman considers new multi-purpose building At their May 3 council meeting, Boardman City Councilors reviewed site plans for a multi-purpose building proposed by Boardman resident Lisa Mittelsdorf. Mittelsdorf has been raising funds for construc- tion of a 6,000-square-foot steel building for public use for a variety of purposes, including team sports prac- tices and group trainings. She said there is a need for such a building due to the amount of use the high school’s multi-purpose building gets. She points out that some sports teams do not get practice time at the high school’s facility until 9 p.m. due to schedul- ing issues. Mittelsdorf proposes the building be constructed Wedding Tables Derek Gunderson & Meghan McCabe May, 21, 2016 Rick Worden & Kelsie Fox May 28, 2016 on city-owned property, either behind the city hall building or on NE Front Street near the splash pad park. She asked the city to consider the location and assume ownership when the building is complete. The council tabled a decision until its June 7 meeting so a full council can hear the proposal. In other city business, the council decided to allow dumping of 200,000 gallons of gray water into the city’s wastewater lagoons by the contractor cleaning equip- ment on the new PGE Carty Generation Plant.

Local host families needed for high school exchange students ASSE International Student Exchange Pro- grams (ASSE), in coopera- tion with local high schools, is looking for families to host boys and girls between the ages of 15 to 18 from a variety of countries, in- cluding Norway, Denmark, Spain, Italy and Japan, to name a few. ASSE says its students are enthusiastic and excited to experience American culture while they practice their English. They also love to share their own cul- ture and language with their host families. Host families welcome these students into their family, not as a guest, but as a family member, giving everyone involved a rich cultural experience. The exchange students have pocket money for personal expenses and full health, accident and liabili- ty insurance. ASSE students are selected based on aca- demics and personality, and host families can choose their student from a wide variety of backgrounds, countries and personal in- terests. To become an ASSE host family or to ind out more, call the ASSE West- ern Regional Office at 1-800-733-2773 or go to www.host.asse.com.
