 John and Judy Stabenfeldt have retired from horse racing.
John, 71, and Judy, 70, raced horses at the Ferry County Fair for 45 straight years, but the 2012 fair was the last time a Stabenfeldt-owned horse would compete on the track.
Citing diminishing funding for small race tracks, the Stabenfeldts sold their last two race horses at the 2012 Okanogan County Fair. In many ways it was the end of an era for Ferry County horse racing.

 They’ve been called “The Greatest Generation,” the men and women who marched off to World War 2, or joined the war effort at home.
Hugh Maycumber wanted to join the navy when he graduated from school, but he wasn’t old enough to sign up on his own, and his dad wouldn’t sign the papers.
Later, when it appeared he was going to be drafted, his dad agreed, and Maycumber was on his way to becoming a hospital corpsman.

 Each day, those of us who live here climb into our vehicles and navigate the streets of Republic, knowing that these roads will be passable. Daily, we turn on the tap, trusting the water is drinkable. From roads to sewer lines to drinking water, we have a foundation of assurance that these things will function as they are meant to function. That assurance is a direct result of the effort of three men: Casey Giddings, Robert Burbank and Wayne Sattler, who together have an accumulated service of 82 years to the city as the Public Works crew.

 “I’m mayor by default," Shirley Couse chuckles. “I first became mayor in 2002 and so far, my re-elections have been uncontested. My term ends this December and I won’t run for office again. I feel I’ve achieved most of what I set out to do, and by the end of 2011 it will be time for me to pursue other things.”

In this column, we’d like to introduce you to the people and offices that govern Ferry County. Most governing positions are filled by popular vote; it’s important to understand the duty of each position because how can you vote for the right person for a job if you don’t know what the job is?
As a job that focuses on the best interests of the entire county, we decided to start with the County Commissioner. The first questions to ask are: Do you know what a county commissioner is supposed to do? Do you know the extent and limits of their power? On November 9, I met with Brad Miller, County Commissioner, to discuss the job. Brad has been a County Commissioner for over five years; prior to this he was a state trooper.
