shooters who joined her
dad at the various archery
tournaments, and she con-
tinued winning. 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

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.

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.
