Fire insurance cancelations spreading like wildfire

FOR THE SENTINEL
Ethelene Gardner, Klickitat County resident, has done everything right. After almost nine years of living on forested acreage, she and her family took deliberate steps to mitigate wildfire risk: trimming trees, clearing brush, following the state’s cleanup guidelines, and even having the local power company inspect the property easement.
“We went through the Washington State clean-up plan,” Gardner says. “They paid you to go in and clean up all your trees. We went through with a brush hog and went through all of our trees, and then we trimmed up to 40 acres of trees themselves before you even get to the house. And then, behind us, we’ve taken out about 15 acres of trees.”
Despite their efforts, Gardner received a letter from American Modern Home Insurance on March 26 stating that their policy would not be renewed. “It’s been declined due to ‘wildfire risk’ currently in place,” the letter read. The non-renewal is effective May 7, ending a three-year relationship with the insurance provider. Gardner is not alone. Across Oregon and Washington, more and more homeowners are seeing their insurance policies dropped
due to what insurers call “unacceptable wildfire risk.” These decisions come even for homeown-
ers who have taken aggressive steps to mitigate that very risk.
“Don’t get me wrong,” Gardner says. “There have been fires in Oregon and in Washington, but it’s the fact that we have worked so hard to not have a fire danger here—and still have our insurance cancelled.”
The sudden losses in insurance have struck multiple homeowners not just in the foothills of the Simcoe Mountains. Residents in Goldendale proper have also entered conflict with their insurance companies, new and old homeowners alike. The phenomenon is the result of ongoing legislation regarding wildfire risk across Washington and Oregon. According to Jason Horton of Oregon’s Division of Financial Regulation, insurers are within their rights to decline renewals based on wildfire risk. After the catastrophic 2020 Labor Day fires that destroyed over 4,000 homes in Oregon, many carriers revised their underwriting criteria. The resulting losses, measured in the billions, have driven insurers to
RODGER NICHOLS FOR THE SENTINEL
Born in December of 1939 in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, at the Piper Airplane Company Plant, run by William Piper, this antique Piper Cub J-3 bearing its pre World War II registration of NC25986, was sold to a flying service in Providence, Rhode Island, for $1,012. It had a 50 horsepower Franklyn motor. Its serial number is 34 of 19,700.
These famous airplanes, flown from the rear seat, saw war time service as artillery spotters in both the European Theater and all across the Pacific War. More than 900 “L-4s” (the Army Air Corps J-3 model) would also be made in Lock Haven and sent in pieces to be reassembled in England to be flown into combat after D-Day 1944. The L-4 famously became known as the “Grasshopper.”
When World War II broke out, serial number 34 was commandeered by the federal government, likely for cadet training, though no record of these hours exists. These little planes, weighing less than 800 pounds, along with most all Piper Cubs and others reg-
istered to civilians by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), were pressed into service to train the cadets across the country who went on to fly the World War II fighters and bombers. It was estimated that over 270,000 young men flew their first hours in these J-3 Piper Cubs. The hours of service to train
Two of the major concerns expressed in the public comment portion of the Klickitat County Commissioners meeting on April 15 are familiar ones, with some new angles. W.J. Morris of the Dallesport Water District had some new numbers to share with the board regarding an agreement originally signed between the district and the county commissioners in 2011. “The following are payback amounts to buy yourself out of this contract,” he said. “The base is $1,135,000. You owe us $72,000 in 11 illegal connections at the airport for a subtotal of $1,207,000 and an additional $32,000 that was returned to the Columbia Gorge Regional Airport for SDCs that were connected for a grand total of
$1,239,000....Since this has been going on for 5,110 days with 12 to 18 percent compounded interest, you may want to consider getting yourself out of this contract and writing a check to the Dallesport Water District.” Whether or not those obligations are collectible without first having all the conditions of the agreement satisfied is more one for legal scholars. However, there has been some movement on the issue of assigning funds from landfill gas revenue to the water district that could pave the way for an ultimate execution of that agreement. Commissioner Lori Zoller said she had a meeting scheduled for next week with Dan Gunkel of Klickitat PUD. The two of them constitute an unusual 2-person committee that controls disposition of requests for landfill gas
Howtopat report cited by Songer
Lou MarzeLes Editor
Klickitat County Sheriff
Bob Songer released a statement last week stating he had received a report from the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office that Songer said exonerates his office of any wrongdoing in the suicide death of Ivan Howtopat in the Klickitat County Jail in May of 2023.
Howtopat’s family sued the County over the death, resulting in a settlement in which $2 million was awarded to the family.
“As Sheriff of Klickitat County,” Songer said in his statement, “I am releasing the outside agency’s (Skamania County Sheriff’s Office - SCSO) investigation report and findings of the
The Pacific Northwest Region of the USDA Forest Service is hiring permanent wildland firefighters for the 2025 fire year across national forests and grasslands in Washington and Oregon.

May 20, 2023, suicide death of inmate Ivan Howtopat that took place in the Klickitat County Jail.” His statement was accompanied by the nine-page report by the SCSO detailing its narrative account of its investigation.
Under a cursory field marked “Charges Requested” on its report, the SCSO report said simply, “None.”
“Based on the fact that the two County Commissioners at the time, Lori Zoller and Jake Anderson, blamed the employees of the Klickitat County Jail and Sheriff for being negligent in inmate Ivan Howtopat’s suicide death at the Klickitat County Jail,” Songer wrote,
“I am now releasing the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office suicide death investi-

The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office investigation and findings cleared the Klickitat County Jail Correctional Deputies, Chief Jail Deputy, and the Sheriff of negligence or wrongdoing in the suicide death of inmate Ivan Howtopat while in custody.” Songer then went on to accuse Zoller and Anderson of outright lying. “It is clear that Commissioners Lori Zoller and Jake Anderson were completely wrong when they blamed Klickitat County Jail Correctional Deputies, Chief Jail Deputy, and the Sheriff for Ivan Howtopat’s suicide death… The citizens of Klickitat County have a right to transparency in this matter, which shows, in my opinion, Commissioners Lori Zoller

and Jake Anderson were playing politics by blaming the Sheriff and staff of poor management of the Jail. The two commissioners got caught lying about contracting with NORCOR in The Dalles, Oregon, to house KCSO inmates when in fact they had no contract with NORCOR.”
The NORCOR comment referred to an initiative early last year to close the Klickitat County and have prisoners sent instead to the NORCOR facility in The Dalles. Neither Anderson nor Zoller stated a contract was already in place with NORCOR, though Zoller indicated talks with the facility were deep in progress.
Among other series, the new GS-0456 Wildland Fire Management series will be used, with pay based on the 2025 Wildland Firefighters (GW) Locality Pay Tables. New hires will increase the agency’s capacity to prepare for catastrophic wildfire, implement fire prevention and active forest management strategies, and respond effectively to wildfire emergencies to safeguard lives, property, and natural resources.

An official circular from the traffic agent of the north bank railroad states that the line is now open and ready for passengers and freight. The following are stations on the new line between Finley and Lyle: Finley, Hoover, Yellept, Tomar, Mottinger, Colbia, Plymouth, Gravel, Coolidge, Patterson, Sage, Luzon, Carley, McGredie, Moonax, Roosevelt, Sandel, Fountain, Harbin, Towal, Cliffs, Columbus, Timm, Avery, Spedis, Granddalles, Skadat, and Lyle. This jaw-breaking nomenclature displays a certain method of madness in the discriminate honors thrust upon heroes living and dead, as the various names indicate. However, the company will shortly issue a pamphlet and tell just how.

Next time Harvey Stephens, 31, of Leavenworth, Washington, drives a car, he’ll probably think twice before passing on a turn. Last Friday Stephens, driving an old model machine, pulled out and attempted to go around a truck and trailer on the Maryhill Loops. Halfway around the truck, he met and struck a machine driven by Klickitat County Sheriff C. R. House. Damage to the sheriff’s machine was only $20. To make matters worse Stephens had no operator’s license, and his car was without license plates. Taken into E. L. Whitehall’s justice court, Stephens entered a plea of guilty to reckless driving. He is now serving an 18-day sentence in the county jail.
April 1939 – 86 Years Ago
The wonders of the state of Washington are being well advertised this year to readers of magazines and newspapers in 47 other states and to visitors at the two great expositions in San Francisco and New York. But few of us realize that the newly created State Progress Commission is carrying on with publicity work started more than 50 years ago by early residents of Washington Territory. Its pages yellowed with the passage of the years, a 68-page Directory of the City of Goldendale, Klickitat County, published about 1881, takes us back to the early days. This little book told the story of the western emigrants promised land to our grandmothers and grandfathers in the east and midwest and may have been the motivating force that brought them westward. The city of Goldendale, still less than 10 years old in 1880, boasted a population of 800 persons. Specifically, Goldendale in the early eighties could exhibit with pride the new county courthouse “a frame building of modern architecture” where district court was held, the jail near the courthouse which is said to be very good one, and a fi ne opera house with a seating capacity 300.

Any Goldendale business interested in a mobile telephone should contact Dewane Hood, manager of the Oregon - Washington Telephone Co. The company needs two to four more potential subscribers before installing mobile service. Six of the installations are signed up at present; however, the company fi gures at least eight and preferably ten of the units will have to be signed to make a practical radio telephone service. The units proposed will allow the subscriber to dial any number he wishes to call from his automobile, as well as receive calls enroute without going through the operator.

Answer to last week´s Mystery Picture
We got one response to our Mystery Photo from last week—from the very person who was in the Easter Bunny suit! Larrie Restorff called to say that was him 10 years ago, and he came back this Easter to fi ll the same suit again.
In regard to earlier Mystery Photos: we have confi rmation that the young lady in the “Pasco 1992”
from a couple of weeks ago was Shawna Liljenquist. And remember that picture of a man and woman seated at a table, and the man was identified as Harold Oxwang? And some people were pretty sure the woman was Marjorie Larson? Well, Margorie’s daughter reports that was not her mother. So we still don’t know who it was.

How to protect yourself from identify theft scams
Dear Savvy Senior,
I am very concerned about Elon Musk and the socalled DOGE team getting access to my Social Security number and personal financial information through their government office raids. What can I personally do to help protect myself from this identity theft mess?
Worried Senior
Dear Worried,
It’s a great question! I’ve been hearing from many older readers around the country that are deeply troubled by the news that the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been granted access to millions of Americans’ Social Security records that include highly sensitive personal information.
Savvy Senior, Jim Miller
The major concern among data privacy experts is what could happen if your Social Security number, bank account information or tax records somehow gets leaked or breeched in all the data shuffling. If your information gets in the wrong hands it could lead to identity theft, which means scammers could use your personal information to open credit card accounts, bank accounts, telephone service accounts, and make major purchases – all in your name.
If you’re concerned about the privacy of your personal information, the best way to protect yourself is to put a “fraud alert,” or better yet a “credit freeze” on your credit file.
A fraud alert is a notification placed on your credit report that signals to potential creditors to take extra steps to verify your identity before extending credit in your name. While a credit freeze completely restricts access to your credit report, essentially preventing anyone from opening new accounts in your name without your explicit authorization.
A credit freeze provides much stronger protection than a fraud alert, but there is a drawback. When you freeze your credit, you won’t be able to open new credit cards or get a new loan while the freeze in place. It does not, however, prevent you from using the credit cards you already have open.
If you do need to get a new credit card or some type of loan, you can always lift the freeze on your account until you get the card or loan approved, and then refreeze it.
You’ll also be happy to know that a credit freeze is completely free to put in place and lift, as are fraud alerts. And neither action will affect your credit score.
Fraud alert set-up
To set up a fraud alert, you’ll need to contact one of the three major credit reporting bureaus – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion – either by phone, online or by mail. You only need to contact one of these agencies, and they will notify the other two. Here’s the phone and website contact information for each of the three bureaus.

• TransUnion: 888-909-8872 or TransUnion.com/credit-help
If you haven’t been a victim of identity theft, you’ll need to set up an “initial fraud alert,” which lasts for one year, although you can renew it for additional one-year periods.
Credit freeze set-up
To set up a credit freeze you’ll need to contact each of the three previously listed credit reporting bureaus – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. A credit freeze lasts until you unfreeze it.
But remember, before you apply for new credit card or loan, you’ll need to temporarily lift the security freeze by following the procedures from each of the credit reporting bureaus where you placed the freeze.
If, however, you don’t want to set up a fraud alert or credit freeze, you can still keep an eye on your credit file by reviewing your credit report regularly. You can get a free credit report each week from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion by going to AnnualCreditReport.com.

Burn-out has got to go
The Festival of Wheels gave it another try this year. It seems the attendance has dwindled to much lower levels than when the event was new, 10 years ago. There are a lot of competing car shows this time of year, so it doesn’t surprise me . This year Goldendale Motorsports Association and ABATE brought back the burn-out, which was tried several times in the past with questionable benefits to the town. This year someone had the brilliant idea to use the old skateboard park as a place to stage the return of the burnout. It was held on the concrete slab, a tempting medium for anyone inclined to bum rubber. Rednecks of many degrees, punk kids or maybe the little old lady from Pasadena. I personally was left with a bad taste in my mouth and lungs. Even though I made it a point to stay away from the burn-out and was at my home where I thought I would escape the noise and smoke, when the toxic cloud rose from the park and drifted over the Little Klickitat River Park (the swimming pool) on to the kids and families at the pool and on to me while I was sitting on my property. We were contaminated by the toxins in the smoke, and my eyes and throat were imitated, and my lungs filled with carbon monoxide and other cancer causing toxic compounds
for three hours.
I think the city of Goldendale needs to rethink supporting burnouts in our park. Next year don’t issue a permit to any group that wants to burn-out. There are places in the county where it could be held, just not in the city please. I hate toxic smoke, and you should too.
On Sept 4 I will be asking the mayor and his administration to make an ordinance forbidding anyone from reckless unsafe burnouts in any ones neighborhood or any street in the Goldendale city limits. I would appreciate some support from like-minded citizens at the council meeting. Let them know how you feel.

I contacted the bank for an explanation. The answer was essentially that “we wouldn’t do that.” Then why is it in your documents, I asked. The answer was to send me up the chain of command. The second person gave the same answer as the first and then was to have me contacted by some-one higher up. That person has not contacted me after more than a week so I am following through on what I told the bank contacts I was going to do—write a letter to the editor to be sure local folks are aware of how Columbia Bank is choosing to deal with its account holders. My concern is that a comment as broad as this opens the door for abuse. I have had no difficulties with our local branch and am sorry that the headquarters has decided to take such a hard line. It ap-pears I will need to look for a bank that does not behave in this manner.
Letters from the community
Very upset
The Klickitat PUD seems to have an excessive amount of money in its general fund to throw around and hand out hefty bonuses to certain people without even receiving full board approval. If this doesn’t look suspicious!
I recently received an updated “Terms for Business and Deposit Account Agreement” from Columbia Bank. I am not in the habit of reading the fine print but for some reason this time I did. I came across an “added” line that I found very concerning. Again, this line is both for personal and business accounts. It reads: “We may refuse to open and account and may close your account at any time for any reason or for no reason at all.”
It is an irresponsible action as the KPUD places rate increases on the owners to cover a budget shortfall. Another question is whether it is even legal to give thousands of dollars in bonuses without full board approval.
Ken Margraf Goldendale
agree that this extrajudicial kidnapping is wrong and must be made corrected, the government argues that the judges have no right to protect Constitutional rights—is that what our Founding Fathers hoped our nation would become?
“For No Reason At All” I particularly found offensive.
There needs to be some additional oversight on managing how the money is used and dispersed. Many people are working their tails off to provide for their household and pay to keep the lights on. When they see what KPUD is doing, they have to be very upset.

Find common cause
Snatching someone off the streets, whisking him onto an airplane, and “disappearing” him to the hellscape of a cruel foreign prison, all without providing due process—does that sound like America, the land of the free? Sadly, tragically, this is exactly what is happening in our nation today. (AP News, April 10)
And when multiple federal judges
Although my conservative friends and family members often disagree with me on the best governmental policies to make our nation strong, there are principles we agree about. We agree the government cannot arbitrarily arrest and throw people in a foreign prison without due process. Allowing a government to get away with such behavior puts us all at great risk of crumbling into an autocracy. If that happens, whom will the government target next?
And so I ask my conservative friends: please find common cause with liberal citizens to stop governmental cruelty and abuse of power. Our arms are open. We’re not the caricatures that Fox News scurrilously portrays. We love our nation, and we know that you do, too.

ing crime and deporting “illegals” (and doing it illegally); stopping fentanyl; bringing manufacturing back here with his tariffs. I think it might not be so simple. It takes a while (years) to build up manufacturing even if there is massive spending by both the government on infrastructure and by businesses that feel secure in their investments. Frankly, Trump has always over-promised and underdelivered on infrastructure. And he has made the markets so shaky that businesses might feel reluctant to invest.
As far as his other promises: did the Ukraine war end on day one or before? Have the price of eggs and groceries gone down yet? How about inflation? What about the farmers, how are they doing with the tariffs? Are you better off now than you were under Joe Biden? Is anyone, other than the billionaires and the insiders who might have known that Trump was going to flip-flop on the tariffs so they bought low and sold high? Did it ever occur to you that Elon Musk could give all 334,735,155 people in the 2020 census (including the 3,385,874 Puerto Ricans) one million dollars each and still be the richest man on earth? (Unless you count Putin’s purported, untold and uncounted, wealth.)
Cheap food for thought, since real food is going to become more expensive.

The bill also removes language from the existing parental rights law that would make medical and mental health records availabletoachild’sparents

FIRE from page A1 pull back from highrisk areas, regardless of individual homeowner behavior. While this specific legislation already exists in the state of Oregon, Washington will be no exception, as it too has experienced a fire-risk increase, which is already disrupting coverage for many rural property owners.
Gardner has reached out to multiple providers—Allstate, Safeco, and her original carrier—only to be met with the same answer: no coverage. “They keep sending me a renewal letter, but they won’t renew it,” she says. Her agent told her that new legislation may be in the works for Washington and Oregon, possibly redefining coverage eligibility for rural homeowners. “It’s not just going to be me,” she warns. “It’s going to be everybody that moves in up here.”
She tried contacting the new state fire insurance official in Olympia but was turned away. “They wouldn’t even let me speak to her,” Gardner said. “They said, ‘You can go online and look at the legislation
we’re trying to pass.’
That’s all they would tell me.”
Meanwhile, Oregon lawmakers are proposing House Bills 3666 and 3917, aimed at helping utilities avoid liability in the event of utility-caused wildfires. The bills offer a “wildfire safety certificate” to utilities with state-approved wildfire mitigation plans and propose a catastrophic wildfire fund paid for by ratepayers. Supporters say this could prevent utility bankruptcies, while critics argue it shifts the financial burden from corporations to consumers. Washington State has also passed Senate Bill 6120, which mandates that the Department of Natural Resources create a “Wildfire Risk Map” for each county in the state; the bill also states that these maps be publicly available. The result of this bill, passed on March 5, 2024, has seen an increase in policy premiums, and occasional policy cancellation, for homeowners in areas assessed to be at greater risk of wildfires. But for residents like Gardner, these bills feel disconnected from the immediate problem.
“This used to be all timberland behind us,” she states. “Now, all these people are moving in behind us bringing in manufactured homes, and a lot of them won’t be able to get insurance.”
With many adjacent residents, some of whom maintained their current insurance provider for decades, have been able to keep their policies, but newer holders have found less fortune.
Gardner points to an unequal playing field: “It’s just discouraging that all these people can still have their insurance if they’ve had it for a while, but [insurance providers] won’t write any new policies for people like us who are being cancelled. Not because we’ve had any claims, not because we were late on any payments.”
The discrepancy reflects what some resi-
dents are calling a “legacy clause.” Homeowners with long-standing policies are often allowed to keep them, while new applicants or those facing renewal are shut out. With no incidents or missed payments, Gardner and others like her are simply the collateral damage of a shifting insurance landscape. For now, Gardner continues to search for coverage, knowing options
are dwindling. “We’ve cleared everything from around our house,” she asserts. “Even the power company came through and said, ‘You guys have taken down everything that needs to be down.’ So they didn’t have any work to do.”
The threat of wildfire is real, but so is the fear of losing your home—not to flames but to an industry unwilling to insure against them. An astonishing film about the truth behind the death of

Tall Ships
A long time ago, enormous ships with towering masts sailed across the open seas with canvas sails spread to catch the wind, their only source of power. These ships, known as tall ships, were giants. There were different types and sizes of these ships, and for a time they ruled the seas. They were designed for long, dangerous voyages, and used for exploring new lands, trading goods, and even fighting in naval battles. This was known as The Age of Sail and it gave rise to ships like galleons, caravels and ships of the line
Some tall ships had as many as five or even six masts. A mast on a ship is a tall pole that the sails and other equipment are attached to. Some were as tall as 300 feet. A mast looks like a giant flagpole that holds the sails that catch the wind and make the ship move. The sails on tall ships were massive, with some large enough to cover an entire football field. Brigantines, barques and barquentines were not just the largest of the tall ships but they were also the fastest. A ship named the Sovereign of the Seas was built in 1854 and was known as the fastest full-rigged ship in the world. The Sovereign held the speed record for more than 100 years.
Tall ships weren’t just important for exploration, trade or war, they were also used by pirates. Have you watched Pirates of the Caribbean? If you have, you know exactly what kind of ship we are talking about because the Black Pearl was a tall ship. Pirates loved tall ships because they were fast and could carry lots of treasure. Pirates, like Blackbeard, would sail the seas looking for merchant ships to attack. In real history, one of the most famous pirate ships was the Queen Anne’s Revenge. If you were unlucky enough to cross its path, the pirates might make off with all your gold, supplies and even your ship!
Smaller tall ships with smaller sails might have 50 men working the sails to keep it moving, but some of the larger ships had more than 800 crew members. The sailors worked in teams, and different teams were responsible for different jobs on the ship. Life on these ships wasn’t easy. The sailors spent months at sea, often facing rough waves, storms, and pirates. If a ship did not have enough men the captain might Shanghai people to fill out his crew. Shanghaiing or Crimping is when someone is kidnapped and forced to work on a boat.
