The editor of The Sentinel in 1972 sends a letter to the editor of The Sentinel in 2022

The Presby Museum was swarming with laughter and kids last Wednesday morning as Pioneer Pals Day commenced. Adorable kids aged from first to fourth grade were enjoying the events from 9 a.m. until noon. A group of volunteers helped the kids explore the museum, while also teaching them about some of Goldendale’s history. The event kicked off with registration and separating the children into groups. With nearly 30 kids in attendance, the volunteers had their hands full, but they did a marvelous job of including each child and encouraging fun in learning. The groups rotated through different areas of the museum, leading them to every corner of the house as well as the other buildings on the property. The kids were tested on their knowl edge regarding the Oregon Trail and taught about some of the old household objects, such as cham ber pots, which prompted giggles from the kids. After the tour, a quick cookie and milk break rejuvenated the children, getting them ready for the second half of the day. Next on the agenda was a scavenger hunt where the kids were tasked to search for items throughout the house. The list included things that would have been necessary to take on the Oregon Trail back in the day. After about 15 minutes of searching, the kids gathered on the lawn out front where a makeshift “wagon” was used for the next activity. The kids used cardboard boxes as supplies and filled the wagon to the brim as a representation of how many items were carried in the historic wagons that crossed theAscountry.theday closed, the children were given the gift of a box to be used as their own personal time capsule, in reference to Commu nity Days. They also received two free passes to the museum for future use and a $1-off gift card to the Sunrise Coffee Shop. The kids loved it and seemed

Kids have a blast at Pioneer Pals Day

PIONEER DAY KIDS: Who says learning can’t be fun? Not these kids, as they gained knowledge of days gone by at this year’s Pioneer Day at the Presby Museum.

It was just two weeks after the American presiden tial election. Incumbent Richard Nixon had won over George McGovern by an as tonishing margin, carrying 49 states with more than 60 per cent of the popular vote. Gol dendale Sentinel editor and publisher Pete May sat at his desk, probably only feet away from the desk of today’s edi tor and publisher in the same building, and typed two full pages of thoughts to a person he would never know, about things in Goldendale and the U.S. in November 1972. He felt a sense of history on several levels—clearly evident in what he wrote—as he mused that sullen evening. Winter was still officially a month away, and the high that day was around 45 degrees, but a moody cloud cover seemed obstinate and per hapsMayforeboding.puthisletter in an en velope, sealed it, and sent it to its fate in the Goldendale Centennial time capsule, to be opened 50 years later. And it was, earlier this year. Almost everything in the time capsule was completely waterlogged; moisture soaked through the capsule drenching its contents.

Paper was especially damaged. Last week May’s letter was brought to The Sentinel to be delivered as he intended 50 years ago. It had dried out. It was still sealed, but the enve lope and pages were stuck to gether. It took serious and care ful surgery to open the letter and separate the pages. They are shown in the images above, and the original can be viewed at The Sentinel office. Below is the transcribed text of what Pete May wrote that day in the same building where his letter was opened. November 21, 1972 Editor, The Goldendale Sen tinel, This2022is written to give a more personal clue to think ing in 1972 than you may gain from reading The Sentinel files, or from other historical records.Wehave just been through a national election. George McGovern was thoroughly de feated in his bid for the presi dency. That bid started out as a simon-pure crusade of young reformists. It bogged down because accommodation was made with the old-line Mayor DaleyThat,Dems.and a general feeling that McGovern wasn’t settled; that he couldn’t be depended on; that he changed his mind every day. Other than that, no one liked Nixon personally and few thinkers trusted him; he seemed always to be gloss ing things over. The surface was tailor-made and polished; the underneath—that was ev ery man’s mystery. The country is the same— outwardly rich, happy and se rene; inside a seething mess of people who are sick of a rotten and meddling war, who wish they were taxed less or else received more benefits; who resent the growing gov ernment finger in every kettle; who know crime is growing and there’s little to be done about it. If we had general agree ment and competent leader ship, we’d overhaul our gov ernment right now. We suspect we are headed for a real fall, a rebellion in some year up the calendar line. We know we have a revolution of the quiet sortEverydaynow. something hap pens to make it clear that in

Being a teenager normally means mooching off your par ents for money, but some kids are too ambitious to just settle for a monthly allowance. Josh Smith, soon to be a junior at Goldendale High School, is one such teenager who decided to put his talent to work in order to establish a busi ness and earn some money. Josh does auto detailing work, and his prices are a steal for the time and effort he puts into the vehicles. Josh didn’t force himself into the business; he’s a born natu ral. He’s always loved cars and realized he enjoyed the process of detailing through practicing on his family’s cars. “I love to see the transformation from a dirty vehicle to a new looking vehi cle,” Josh says. He spends hours researching and watching videos about detailing and continues to practice. He began purchasing cleaning equipment and tools to make his work even more profes sional, and after a time, he began to turn this interest into an in

Once the team had the donations they went out and bought the things they needed. They got snacks for the kids such as popcorn, hot dogs, and cotton candy as well as goodie bags with school supplies according to grade level. The kids signed up for the drawing for the free backpacks. Two backpacks per grade level were given away, one boy and one girl, that was filled with some of the school sup plies on their back-to-school lists. For the kids this was exciting because some kids aren’t always able to get a new backpack, and it makes them feel special and ready forThoughschool. the kids and families see the fun and games, the main purpose of the event is for the kids to learn about the resources our community offers and build relationships with each of them. The police, firemen, library, hospital, and many other resources came and set up booths. When the kids got a chance to check out the booths, they were provided an education about various things each organization helps with in our community, and some had interactive games to win prizes. Many of these community resources were also sponsors for the event. The church is very thankful for every one of them and their support. To end their fun day, the kids played on the different bounce houses that were set up on the Courthouse lawn. They listened to live music while they enjoyed the day, played games to earn candy and prizes, visited with friends, and built relation ships with the community. A wonderfully successful day was had by all.

The summer days are get ting closer to an end for the kids, so that means it was time again for the Annual Back to School Bash. The Nazarene Church, along with the Goldendale Chris tian Fellowship, spent a lot of time putting together this great event. They were very excited to have had it this year because Covid put it on hold for the past two years. This event is always very community driven, which means the church gets a lot of donations from those within the community to help make it come together.

The new Shell service station is now under construction by the E. E. Steinlicht construction firm of Bend, Or. It is being built on the corner of A street and Columbus Avenue [the abandoned service station next to Holcomb’s market]. Concrete footings were poured Monday by Vay Godbey of Goldendale Ready Mix. Last week trees were removed to make way for the installation of the tanks.

This week Billi Bare (Rolfe) was the only one with an answer to last week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture. Though we were unable to find the picture as it ran all those years ago, thankfully Billi had all the answers. In her own words: “What a great picture to highlight as we get closer to the Klickitat County Fair! This is a pic ture taken around 1990 at the Goldendale Jr Rodeo which was sanctioned by the Cayuse Jr Rodeo Asso ciation. Of course, it was held at our fairgrounds. The iconic grandstand in the background is a dead giveaway. Those pictured from left to right are: Justin Bowman (Out look), Trevor Scott (Glen wood), Billi Bare (Rolfe) (Goldendale), Tom Clark (Redmond), Bobby Alexan der (Redmond), and Justin Matteson (Lexington). “To my knowledge, all pictured were outstanding rodeo athletes at all stages of their careers. PeeWee, Jr, High School, College, Amateur, and even at the professional level. We are all in our 40s and crowding the half century mark and still enjoy the western way of life and traveling with our growing kids to rodeos through the northwest and beyond.“Fun fact…Bobby and I were even college room mates while attending Blue Mt Community College in Pendleton, Oregon. Thank you for the throwback. A lot of memories and friend ships made for sure.”

In answer to the reporter’s question, “Is there actually a county seat in that little county of Clickitat?”, the offi cial replied, “Yes—in Rock land. The courthouse is a shack 16x24 with four small windows and one door, and its rented for $8 a month, so it’s official, alright. But those darned independent settlers won’t pay the back taxes of $67 for their share in territo rial governmental costs.” He reported that previous attempts over the years to force an organization in the county had failed. “A feeble attempt was made to tax the people, but a man named Reuben Booten was believed to have run off with what lit tle money they had. We sent a man down from Olympia to examine their records. You wouldn’t believe it! Their ‘safe’ was an old steamer trunk with no lock, and it was merely filled with let ters from distressed Olympia officials telling them to shape up.”The sparsely settled county just had its bounda ries changed by the recent legislative act of January 28. Appointed, without the vote of the people, were Schuster, McNary, and Stark. “Since their appointment, we have heard nothing and received no tax money. They say they resent our organ izing a county and levying taxes without their vote. What do those darned settlers think they’re doing, reenact ing the Boston Tea Party?” the official exploded.

A man who knew a lot about peaches was viewing a bucket of the fruit from Sundale orchard and he said, “Gee Whiz, what fine peaches.” A name was born. Gee Whiz is the brand name of the peaches which have been coming out of Sundale for the past eight years. The corporation has been in existence for 10 years. The crew numbers between 90 and 95. There are pickers, sorters, packers, and haulers, which make up the bulk of the operation. Most of the crew working there are young people earning money for a college education.

Orders for broiled hamburgers, fish and chicken dinners, and ice cream treats have turned Goldendale’s newest eating establishment into a fast-moving place since they opened the doors July 30. Tom Owens and his partner in the venture, Tom Wenzel from Seattle, have built the new fast food restaurant, Dags, in the style of one of the other Dags Restaurants in the Seattle area. The name Dags came from one of the first owners’ children who had more than a little trouble pronouncing “Dad.” The building has seating for 90 and also boasts a drive-in window. Owens has hired 32 full time and part-time employees.

August 8, 1912 – 110 Years Ago Professor H. F. Onthrup, one of the teachers in the high school in this city, has just finished resetting one acre of celery plants on the bottom land near the Goldendale Brickyard. There are 25,000 plants on the acre, and he informs us that it keeps one man rustling to take care of one acre of this. He expects to begin harvesting this cel ery and have it to market by September 20. It has been demonstrated beyond a doubt that the land in and around Goldendale grows the finest celery in the world; it is even beating California.

Miss Gladys Klatt, who for the past two years has taught in Vancouver, will teach next term in the high school building. Miss Klatt will teach the sixth grade, replacing Mrs. Bill Cunningham. Mrs. Klatt is the daughter of Mrs. James Brazelton.

—Richard Lefever Klickitat County Historical Society This week we share a story originally written in 1867 and compiled by The Sentinel Feb ruary 17, 1972, titled “County officials arrested for failure to collect tax.” This is not a strictly Goldendale history; rather, it’s a small portion of the history of Klickitat (in its original spelling of “Clicki tat”) County, of which Golden dale of course is now the seat. For reading convenience we have not put it in quotes. OLYMPIA, WASHING TON TERRITORY, 1867: An order was issued today for the arrest of Clickitat County officials on charges of failure to collect taxes which are pay able to the territorial govern ment.Alaw officer is being dis patched on horseback to arrest August Schuster, Hugh McNary, Amos Stark, and possibly several others for their policy of passive resist ance.The later two are county commissioners. Schuster was appointed a commissioner, but soon resigned to fill the office of sheriff. A red-faced official from Olympia stated, “We forgot to appoint a sheriff to enforce collection of these taxes, so Schuster seems to have volunteered to leave his post as commissioner to become acting sheriff. We don’t know if they filled the vacancy or not.”

(Editor’s note: the First Amend ment of the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly state a policy of separation of church and state, though over recent years that has become a com mon perception. Jefferson’s famous letter of 1802 in which he used the phrase “a wall of separation between church and state” does not reference specific constitutional determination. The first clause of the First Amend ment says only, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”) Moving on A quick word of thanks after not making it out of the primary for Washington District 14 representa tive.

“For No Reason At All” I particu larly found offensive. I contacted the bank for an explanation. The answer was essentially that “we wouldn’t do that.” Then why is it in your docu ments, 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.Myconcern is that a comment as broad as this opens the door for abuse. I have had no difficul ties 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.KenMargrafGoldendale

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 meThis. year Goldendale Motor sports 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 skate board 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 Klicki tat 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 burn outs 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.

Thank you, Susan Kelsey, for pro viding such excellent examples of why Sue Kusch’s letter is to be takenTheseriously.U.S.Constitution separates church and state for a very good rea son based on long historical experience. Finding out why would be a good homework assignment. And what is Christian nation alism? It is a political movement, and its ultimate goal is power. It does not seek to add another voice to America’s pluralistic democracy but to replace our foundational democratic principles and institu tions with a state grounded on a particular version of Christianity answering to what some adherents call a “biblical worldview” that also happens to serve the interests of its plutocratic funders and allied politi cal leaders. This is not a “culture war.” It is a political war over the future of Andrewdemocracy.Whitehead and Samuel Perry summarize Christian nation alism with the following statements: The federal government should declare the United States a Chris tianThenation.federal government should advocate Christian values. The federal government should not enforce the strict separation of church and state. The federal government should allow religious symbols in public spaces.Thesuccess of the United States is part of God’s plan. The federal government should allow prayer in public schools.

Goldendale School District is gearing up for the start of the 2022-23 school year! Our first day of school is August 31. We are looking forward to greeting our students and welcoming them into a fantastic school year. If you need to register your child, please contact the school they will be attending. Staff will provide information regarding registration. Goldendale Pri mary School serves students Kindergarten – grade 4, Goldendale Middle School serves students in grades 5-8, and Goldendale High School serves grades 9-12. We will start this school year with 11 teachers who are new to our District. Our administrative team worked through the summer to recruit staff. One of the barriers we encountered in recruiting teachers coming to Goldendale is housing. If you have information that would be helpful to our incoming staff, please contact our District Office. Over the summer, the majority of the HVAC system at Goldendale High School was gut ted and re-placed. This is the first phase of the work that the District is completing using grant funding. The project this summer put in place ventilation duct work and revamped the heating and cooling for the gymnasium, music room, and shop area. Goldendale schools will have new entrance pro cedures as we start the new school year. In order to provide safety for our students, we need to know who is in our buildings at all times. Each school will have one point of entrance for anyone entering after school starts each morning. We ask that you come to the main entrance and use the buzz in system. A staff member will speak with you through the monitor and buzz you into the school. This procedure is a recom mended practice for school safety. You will also notice fencing between the main High School building and the Career/Technical Build ing. This fencing will ensure that students can pass between the buildings safely. You may also notice the sidewalk cement resurfacing in this area where the surface was uneven. In addition to the facilities and safety aspects of our summer work, our staff has been (and continues) their professional learning. We have supported staff in meeting state required trainings and in ex-panding our course offerings. One of the required trainings is a course of study for paraprofessionals. All of our paraprofessionals are required to complete multiple courses regarding child development, instruction, and supporting student learning. We are excited to be able to provide this additional sup-port to these key staffThemembers.startofthe school year is energizing. The past couple of years have placed many hurdles in front of us. And together we have continued to serve our students well. We are anticipating that the COVID pre cautions will be much the same this fall as they were in the spring. We look forward to serving our students and continuing to Empower through Education.

This heat has very few people enjoying it, but I understand the fruit grow ers are loving it. Their trees and vines are producing fruits that are thriving in growth and ripening per fectly. It’s that time of year, folks, that we need those fresh fruits and veggies, and since the weather is cooper ating on that scale, we can make the best of it. After all, it is the season best suited for salads, both fruit and vegetable. There is a cherry stand right in the middle of town for you to take advan tage of, so there can’t be any excuses on that point. Dick ie’s and other fruit stands are offering a wide variety for you to choose from, and you can’t go wrong by put ting yourself first when it comes to nutrition. Along that line, if you have an abundance of fruit or vegetable produce from you garden, feel free to share it with those who aren’t so prosperous. I’ve seen boxes of tomatoes, squash, cucum bers, and the like inside the post office that is there for the public to share.

Doors open at 6 p.m. There will be a loaded baked potato meal available for sale at 6 and at break time. First game starts at 6:30 p.m. It’s cash only due to state regu lations, and those 18 and older (or accompanied with an adult) can get in the fun, but your credit card can be used for snacks and drinks. If you have any questions please call or text Zifra Weber at (541) 300-8145. It’s not too early to plan for the first day of school, Wednesday, August 24, with the start time at 9 a.m. Students can start arriving at 8:30 a.m. to allow time for breakfast (free!) and to catch up with friends they haven’t seen for a bit. On all other days of the week, school starts at 8 a.m., with students beginning to arrive at 7:30 a.m. Kinder garten starts on August 24, too, and continues to be a full-day program. We are still confirming with ECEAP staff what the first day of pre-Kindergarten will be. Typically, pre-K starts around two weeks later than kindergarten12th grade. Check out their front page of the website and on the Facebook page (@LyleSchools) for more information. The school district provides basic edu cation supplies, so you don’t have to worry about pencils, erasers, lined paper, and the like. Parents can supply a backpack, closed-toe shoes for playing outside, and a cold weather jacket.The Lions Club members would like to thank the Klickitat County Senior Services for providing two air filters for the Lyle Lions Activity Center. These will help to keep us safer as we meet and have community events. The special UV-C setting is for airborne path ogens. They are also happy to announce that they have a new Wi-fi server with bet ter service to help facilitate meetings using Zoom com bined with in-person. Since most people have their own phone, they’ve discontin ued their landline; the (509) 365-2110 will no longer be in service.I’mstill trying to plug the Klickitat County Fair & Rodeo held in Goldendale, August 18 – 21.

In my opinion, that was proved false, and a lot of families lost jobs and businesses because of it. Even with loggers protesting in Salem, they lost out. I know, there are probably some of the anti-logging protestors still out there, but I’m a little con fused when it comes to us deciding which owl should live and which should not; as one statement in the document puts it, “Public input will be used to pre pare a draft Environmen tal Impact Statement under the National Environmen tal Policy Act. The Service is working with partners and other stakeholders to consider all possible meth ods to manage barred owls, including lethal removal.” I would have underlined the last three words but since I used quotation marks I can’t, in any way, change the state ment.

Wildlife managers at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) have confirmed a viral infection known as adeno virus hemorrhagic disease (AHD) is affecting deer around Goldendale this summer.Thefirst confirmed out break of AHD in Washing ton occurred around Gol dendale in the summer of 2017 and is believed to have affected a minimum of 25 animals.Thedisease is specific to members of the deer fam ily and is not uncommon in other states, including Ore gon where outbreaks occur every year. AHD was also found in British Columbia on the nearby Gulf Islands and on southern Vancou ver Island during the fall of 2020, and spread to north west Washington in 2021, where several hundred deer are believed to have succumbed to the disease. There have been no con firmed cases of AHD in deer in northwest Washington in 2022.The disease does not pose a risk to livestock, pets, or people—either from con tact or by consuming the meat. Yet, WDFW staff rec ommend using disposable gloves for handling any wildlife carcass and to avoid harvesting or consuming animals that are visibly ill.

Deer around Goldendale affected by viral infection

Goldendale student named to UW Dean’s List

August is one packed month

“There is no known cure or treatment for the virus. AHD is transmitted by direct contact between deer, making it more likely for the virus to spread in areas with high deer con centrations,” said Dr. Kris tin Mansfield, WDFW vet erinarian.Signsof deer with AHD include rapid or openmouth breathing, foaming or drooling from the mouth, diarrhea, weakness, and emaciation. Fawns are most commonly affected, but all ages of deer are suscepti ble. Death can occur within three to five days from the time a deer is exposed to the virus, although not all infected deer die. Cases of AHD typically peak in mid summer and taper off in the fall.“We ask people not to con centrate deer by providing feed or water for them,” she said. “That is the best way we can help minimize the spread of this disease.”

Two different sets of special Goldendale Sesquicentennial coins are (still) available: Version A is from the City of Goldendale. Eight hundred of these are available for sale to the public for a fixed price of $10 each. Merchants can buy them and resell them (still fixed at $10 each) if desired, or anyone can purchase them directly from the City. Proceeds from these coins go into the City’s tourism dollars, which support various nonprofits each year, such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Candy Cane Lane Parade. Visit City Hall for your coins at 1103 S. Columbus Avenue, Goldendale; or purchase them at Holcomb’s Market on Columbus or at Cafe Genevieve’s at 114 S. Columbus.

Version A Version B

Goldendale, WashingtonA6 August 10, 2022 Burn-out has got to ThegoFestival 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 meThis. year Goldendale Motor sports 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 skate board 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 Klicki tat 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 burn outs 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.

Version B — Of the original 300 coins struck, about 30 remain, so you can still get hold of one. Initial proceeds go to support the Fire Victims Fund, Trout Unlimited, and scholarships for graduating Goldendale High School students going on to college. The coins are $30 each. You can purchase them at The Goldendale Sentinel office, 117 W. Main Street, Goldendale.

Goldendale WashinGtonA8 auGust 10, 2022 JOSH from page A1

FORECAST from page A1 vestment for himself. He cre ated social media accounts to make his work more accessible to potential cli ents. On Instagram he can be found at Joshs_Auto Detailing, and on Facebook he has his work under his name. Through this, he can easily spread word of his business and hopefully gain a steady flow of clients. To Josh, no car is past the point of a cleaning, and he’s happy to take care of any interior or exterior messes. “I will do anyone’s car, no matter how bad the condi tion is,” Josh says. His prices for interior work range from $60 to $125, depending on the size of the vehicle. The inte rior work varies depending on condition of the car and request, but overall, Josh vacuums and shampoos the carpets, cleans the windows and dashboard, and uses interior sprays to gently scrub away any gunk on the seats. An exterior cleaning can range from $20 to $35, also depending on size. For the exterior he begins by spraying the vehicle down before using a soap foam cannon to cover the vehicle with soap. From there, he rinses, and follows with a second wash and scrubbing with a hand wash mitt, mak ing sure to effectively clean the tires, door jams, and any otherJoshcrevices.isn’tentirely sure where his business will lead him, but he hopes to keep his work going through the foreseeable future. He has considered looking into careers within the electri cian field for his after high school plans, though he still isn’t fully decided as his focus remains on his detail ing business and school life. “I think it would be cool to grow the business and do it for a lot longer,” Josh notes. The continuation of his busi ness really would be a great thing, not only for the clients of his work, but also for the younger generations to see a widespread support for high school entrepreneurs. The determined and progressive nature of Josh’s work will surely take him far, and it will be an inspiration to see how his business develops as time goes on.

MISSIVE from page A1 dividual rights are being allowed to suppress pub lic freedom. This is the big theme of the Supreme Court these days. It is good that they are thinking about our rights, and protecting us. The catch is that to do that, Congress must enact more and more statutes. We were better off when we had few laws and rights were taken forCongressgranted. has become a collection of bad eggs and good ones who either accom plish nothing or become bad in the process of becoming effective. We elect them, send them to Washington, then never see them again ’til election time. They should be compelled to spend at least a third of their time in their home districts and not more than a third in Washing ton; the remainder gaining knowledge and experience in fields related to the problems greatest on their agendas. Congressional seniority has become a millstone hamper ing good government. The president should be allowed in office no more than six years, and in my opinion should suffer a vote of confidence twice in the interim. I think he should be chosen from the list of gover nors of the states—that such service and the current hold ing of such office be made a prerequisite to his choice. On the local level, Golden dale is struggling through times marked by zoning ordinances and the need for advance planning—some thing common here only for the last five to ten years. Right now, we need good leaders. The times are such that qualified leaders are reluctant; public office has become an albatross for too many businessmen; no one trusts himself to take charge. The jobs are made hard by so many restrictions, red tape of all kinds. No one wants to be mayor; few will serve on theOncouncil.theother hand we see a change, in that of recent years more and more lay peo ple are serving without pay on advisory boards or com missions. In this sense, gov ernment is trying to become more responsive to people and those involved, at least, appreciate this change. Perhaps this sounds like constant complaint. That is because this opportunity is being taken to air frustra tion, to long for sensible solu tions to what we all recog nize as problems of serious moment.Goldendale has just fin ished a successful celebra tion of its first 100 years as a town. It has pride and it has spirit. It has character. We love it and respect it for these attributes. We regard it as a good place to live. We have freedom, much more than in the cities. We are free to think “down the main line,” on essentials and in sight of the truth, even if not always encircled by it. We think in this respect we are more for tunate than our neighbors in the cities who are sur rounded by confusion and complexity. That is the story of 1972, as seen by Pete May, Sentinel editor.

PIONEER from page A1 ready for next year’s Pio neer Pal Day. Jaedynn Ihrig, one of the kids pre sent, excitedly said the event was “really cool, and I learned a lot of stuff about settlers. And I met a lot of new people.” The day was a hit, and it’s all thanks to the great group of people who helped set up the event. Susan Marlow and Luann Whitmire were the main organizers of the event and their interactions with the kids were very special. The Klickitat County Historical Society played a huge role in this event as well with the intention of spreading interest in his tory and the museum to the younger generations. James Radcliffe, member of the Historical Society, stressed the importance of having the Presby Museum be actively involved with the community. “The Presby Museum needs to be an important part of this com munity, Goldendale, and the county,” James commented. “We need to do things like bring the community in.” The museum has proven to do just that with this event, along with the other events that take place there. The Presby has commonly been a popular place for prom pictures, as well as several class reunions. The histori cal building is very impor tant to the Goldendale com munity, and Pioneer Pal Day makes it even more beloved. rival of these storms will signal the end of the fire season for most of Wash ington, Oregon, and Idaho. The arrival of storms in October and November will not only be good news for crews battling wildfires but also for skiers anxious to hit the slopes across the Intermountain West. “I believe that there is going to be kind of a mix as far as the ski season goes in the Rockies in the West this year,” Pastelok said. For resorts in the Pacific Northwest, the start of the ski season may be slightly later than normal as the first storm systems to track across the region may not unload a plethora of snow, but once there is enough snow to build a solid base at ski resorts, the skiing sea son should be strong well into the Fartherwinter.south in the Sierra, it could be a slow start for resorts that rely on natural snow. “I think they’ll get on the normal pace, not the early pace that they saw the last couple of years,” Pastelok said. Snow should arrive in the higher elevations of the Rockies by mid-autumn. However, it will not be smooth sailing after the season’s first flakes as warm weather could limit the accumulation at the base of the mountains until November.Widespread, long-term drought has set the stage for another active wildfire season across most of the Western U.S., but the worst of the fires are expected to develop in different areas compared to 2021. The North American monsoon has provided some heat and drought relief across the Four Cor ners this summer, and it could have one last gasp before coming to an end this autumn. However, pre cipitation on a much larger scale will be needed to put a meaningful dent in the longterm drought that has sent water levels in reservoirs across the region down to record-low territory. “At the start of Septem ber, there could be some occasional breakouts where [the monsoon] extends into Southern California, Nevada, and maybe up into parts of Montana,” Pastelok

Grace Bland For The SenTinel Main street is home to all sorts of attractions, but Gold endale’s Senior Center is one of the most exciting of all. The building holds numerous events throughout the week that give members a chance to come together and enjoy company and activity. With games, meals, conversation, and more, it’s a constantly busyMembershipsplace. are active after paying only a $10 fee per year, and once that has been done, special benefits are applied to the members. Such benefits being a 50 per cent discount on the store inside the building. The store is titled the “What-Not Shop,” and it holds a wide array of items. The shop receives its items through donations, and after an evaluation and cleaning, it is placed for sale in the shop. All profits earned are kept in the general fund for the center to help pay for the bills and upkeep of the building. Berta Lowe, treas urer for the board at the Senior Center, runs the shop along with other volunteers. Berta and the volunteers work Tuesday through Fri day from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Anyone is welcome to browse the store, and it’s full of hid denAsidegems.from the store, the Senior Center is home to many other pastimes. Kitt Tallman, secretary of the board, explained that “Senior Services serve a meal Tues days and Thursdays.” Senior Services is separate from the Senior Center, as the center is volunteer run and Senior Services is county run; how ever, the two work together to provide meals weekly. The meal is $3.50 for those over 60 and $6.50 for those under 60. Nonmembers are welcome to join the meal as well, and spouses of those 60 and older may also dine for $3.50. The president of the board, Susan Jaggers, runs a fun drawing of names which then leads to prizes. Susan picks out a handful of nice gifts and wraps them up for the winners of the drawing. The drawing is extended to staff as well as members and allows for everyone to test their luck. This event has been absent for quite a few weeks as COVID hit the center hard, but as health returns to the members, the activities likewise return. The members typically enjoy this game every Thursday and Susan hopes it will be more constant once COVID has settled. The members love it; as Susan comments, “They have fun, and they laugh.” Which is exactly what the center is all about. Book and puzzle exchanges are common at the Senior Center, along with exercise sessions that take place every Tuesday and Thursday after lunches. COVID has damp ened this activity as of late too, however it is slowly growing once more. Rosie Woolery leads the group with exercises that are accessible to nearly everyone. It’s a great way to allow members the chance to safely stretch and move around while still havingAnotherfun.huge service pro vided by the Senior Center is presented by Kitt. While working for 18 years with Home Health, Kitt would make monthly visits to the center to help trim the nails of elderly people who could not do so themselves. “When I retired five years ago, I knew that wasn’t enough, and I needed something to do,” she recalls. “So, I thought, well I can do this every week.” Ever since then, Kitt has done just that. Every Tuesday from 10 to noon, she has come to the center to offer her services to whomever needs it, mem ber or not. The service is free of charge, open only to donations to cover the cost of supplies. Her services are incredibly important, and she does a marvelous job. The board is accompanied also by Hilary Sinclaire as vice president, and every board member is volunteer. The group of women pour a lot of love and work into the Senior Center, and their dedication makes it a lively place. COVID has withheld the center from many of their typical events; however, the members look forward to the returning activities set to take place.

In the race for 4th Congres sional District representative, in Klickitat County Republi can Loren Culp was behind Democrat Doug White by a fair margin, 38.01 percent to 29.73 percent. Incumbent Dan Newhouse was a distant third in the county, getting only 16.8 percent—but district wide, beyond Klickitat County, it’s a different story. There, the race is between Newhouse and White, with Culp in third place. District-wide Newhouse takes 25.51 percent to White’s 25.17 and Culp’s 21.32. In the race for 14th Legisla tive District state representa tive Position 1, Republican Chris Corry leads Democrat Laurene Contreras in the county, 61.51 percent to 38.07 percent.

John Kruse For The SenTinel Bordering Washington and Idaho, northeast Ore gon’s Wallowa County offers all sorts of outdoors fun. I visited there this week and had a fulfilling day and a half of outdoors recreation. I started off visiting with Brad Snook at the Sports Corral in Joseph to get a fishing report for Wallowa Lake, a beautiful body of water that sits in a glacial moraine.Snookreported the trout fishing was going well. Rain bow trout are stocked on a regular basis and anglers were catching a good num ber of 12- to 13-inch trout, along with the occasional 17- to 19-inch fish. Wallowa Lake is also a well-known kokanee salmon fishery. In fact, the world record kokanee, a 9.67-pound landlocked salmon, was caught here in 2010. Not long after that the population of large kokanee crashed, replaced by a huge number of small fish. Over time, though, the kokanee have been getting bigger, and Snook reported that a seven-pound salmon had been caught earlier this year. Snook cautioned August is generally a tough month to fish for kokanee, but the fact there are a few giants swimming in the water bodes well for another potential record fish in the future.Ialso spoke with Rob Lamb at the Joseph Fly Shoppe. He confirmed Snook’s reports about the trout fishing at Wal lowa Lake and said dry fly anglers were having some magnificent days, catching and releasing up to 30 trout per outing, at the south end of the lake where the Wal lowa River flows in. After dinner in town, I drove some 30 miles to the Zumwalt Prairie Preserve. Managed by the Nature Conservancy, this 33,000acre property is known for the native prairie grasses as well as wildlife that live here. In addition to deer and elk, there are also coyotes, badgers, and other animals along with a wide variety of bird species. I enjoyed a serene hike amongst the prairie grass, not hearing any man-made sound at all, just crickets and a gentle breeze blowing through the bunchgrass. As for the wild life, they didn’t come out until sunset but when they did, I got to see deer and a small group of elk, includ ing a spike bull that was only a hundred yards away. After a restful night’s sleep, I went on a pleasant hike at the State Heritage Site just south of town. The trail meandered through a meadow and around a scenic pond with the Wal lowa Mountains serving as a backdrop. After eating fresh fruit and a flank steak breakfast burrito at the Kokanee Inn, it was off to the Wallowa Lake Tramway to meet with General Man ager and co-owner Mike Lockhart. The two of us entered an enclosed gondola car and traveled close to two miles over 15 minutes, gain ing 3,700 feet in elevation until we reached the top of 8,200-foot-tall Mount How ard. We took a seat at The Summit Grill, which Mike says is the highest eleva tion café in the Northwest is next to the tramway. It’s an open-air restaurant styled after European cafés in the Alps, and the offerings off the menu are surpris ingly affordable. The two of us chatted about the many upgrades made to the Tram way in recent years and how popular this tramway is, with some 30,000 visitors a year. The reason for the pop ularity, besides the unique way to get to the summit, becomes obvious upon your arrival. On a clear day you can see well into the three states of Oregon, Idaho, and Washington, enjoying views of Wallowa Lake below and the magnificent Wallowa Mountains and Eagle Cap Wilderness to the south and west. A well main tained 2.5-mile-long trail system with interpretive signage looping around the summit allows you to enjoy the views from different viewpoints. It’s definitely a bucket list experience!

Tayler Bradley SporTS edi T or Summer brings great weather for all those golf ers to hit the course and play their hearts out. Our Goldendale Golf Club wants to continue to grow the love for this sport, so they have put together some things for the kids to play and learn in the sport. Amy has done a great job with Kids Camp, and the Jr Club over the years and this summer has been no different.EveryTuesday for the past seven weeks kids have been coming together for the Kids Camp. This year there were 24 kids attend ing, ages 6 to 18, with a wide range of skills. Any experience is welcome at camp, and they split the kids up with one group for beginners and one for those with more experi ence. This proves to be beneficial as the older kids are there to help with the younger ones no matter what their skill level is. Each week the kids par ticipated in different les sons and games to help grow their skills and navi gate the terrain throughout the course. On the last day of camp, the kids and their families played together in a family scramble. End ing camp like this was fun because the parents got to see what their kids had learned, enjoyed the beau tiful day, and spent quality time together. Prizes were given out at the end of the scramble, and the kids cooled off with water bal loons and the water slide. All the kids had fun and learned so much. Later in the week, the course brought back the Junior Club Champion ship. Only those under the age of 18 were allowed to participate. The eight high school golfers played 18 holes while the six mid dle school golfers played nine. They all teed off at 8 a.m. and worked their way through each hole. It was a beautiful day for the kids to play, and they enjoyed their time out there. For the high school kids, Myles Lee came in third with a score of 90 and Jackson Large finished second with a score of 89. But the over all winner of the day was Ike O’Leary who scored an 82. The younger mid dle school boys also had a fantastic day on the course. Evan Bischoff scored 77 for third place, Caden Fahl enkamp scored 62, and the winner of the day was Colby Large who scored 60. The Goldendale Golf Club did a great job with these youth events and are such great supporters of them all. Amy Wilson is doing a considerable amount out there to keep it an excellent place for all ages to come and learn, relax, or just spend time enjoying life. If you haven’t had a chance to go to the Club and play, be sure to put it on your calendar and have some fun out on the green.

Tayler Bradley SporTS edi T or Our Sports Editor offers a personal reflection on the sport she loves so much. Rodeo. It is a sport like no other where the athletes travel the country to com pete against others with the same passion. These ath letes are the most resilient of them all, and I am proud to be one of them. During the summer, I travel through many states competing against some very tough competi tors who also happen to be great friends. Just recently, I traveled to some of the big gest rodeos of the season. I had struggled at the first few rodeos in Oregon. I couldn’t get a groove going and was down on myself but had to fight through and keep my mental game strong to get out of my slump. I kept entering and roping to work out the kinks. My slump ended at a small rodeo in Elgin, Ore gon. I was in the last perfor mance, and I knew I needed to be fast. I backed into the box, nodded, and watched my rope go around my calf’s neck. Pleased with my run, I looked up at the clock, saw I took the lead, and brought home the win. I packed up and left again making my first stop in Nampa, Idaho. This was a fast set up and there were some girls who had already made fast runs, so I knew I had to be quick too. When it was my turn, I backed into the box and let it all fly. It didn’t work out in my favor, and I was pretty bummed, but I had to let it go because I had more rodeos to hit. In rodeo you have to have short-term memory because holding onto the loses will only continue to give you nega tive vibes. So, I loaded my horse and drove 10 hours to the daddy of them all, Chey enne, Wyoming. I have always dreamed of competing at this rodeo; it is very different and really makes the cowboys be cowboys. Cheyenne Fron tier Days is a bracket-style rodeo, and you must make it through each round to get to the finals. This rodeo is unique because of the size of the arena, fresh cattle, and long score. In the first round I watched my calf walk out of the chute and then chased after him. My horse worked amazingly as I saw the rope go around my calf and then looked up at the clock. I made a ter rific run finishing in the top four of the first round, qualifying for round two. Before I could think about that run, though, I had to make the six-hour drive back to Ogden, Utah for my third rodeo of the week. This rodeo is a big one as well and a pretty cool one at that. Before competing, my horses got some water ther apy from the river that runs along the rodeo grounds and where the cowboys tell their rodeo stories. It was a hot day, and I drew a pretty slow calf here. I scored well, but I wasn’t able to get him roped. There are always highs and lows in rodeo. Adjusting my attention again, I loaded up and drove back to Cheyenne for the second round. The atmosphere was different this time around, and it really got my adrenaline pumping. My horse and I knew we had to go out and make a solid run. With all the excitement, my horse reacted differently, and I panicked a little, causing me to not perform at my highest level. I missed my calf, and my dreams of the final round were dead. I had a long drive ahead of me after such a big heart break. I drove about 50 miles and boom! My truck broke down. I was on the side of the road with my horse and trailer. After a lot of phone calls and an awesome rodeo family who came to help me, I got eve rything to Laramie, Wyo ming, and waited for my truck to be repaired. It was a long week last week, but I finally made it home. I grew up watching my family compete in rodeo, and I knew I wanted to be a part of it. Every aspect of this sport keeps me crav ing this every day. Rodeo is not just a passion for me; it is what I do and who I am. When I was little, I never dreamed I would have been to the places I’ve been, competed at the places I have, and met some of my heroes. This rodeo life is something that can never be replaced for me. As I continue through the rest of my summer, I am hoping for good calves, fast horses, and fun times.

Big rodeo dreams

dale Motorsports Association and ABATE brought back the burnout, which was tried several times in the past with questionable bene fits 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 tempt ing 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 Klicki tat 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 burn outs 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.

Golf Club holds Golf Camp Peak Baseball Camp teaches the basics of good baseball

Tayler Bradley SporTS edi T or Summer sports camps are a big thing. Kids go and learn from some great ath letes so they can develop their own skills as they grow. This past week, a group of baseball and soft ball players brought their skills to Goldendale to share with the kids of the community through the Peak Baseball Camp. Peak Baseball Camp was just a blossom of a thought last summer for David Koester when a mom from Trout Lake gave him the suggestion. He did a lit tle research and realized there weren’t any baseball summer camps in the area, so he chose to change that. Fortunately for David, he knew all the right people and had plenty of support to help get it off the ground. With that, the team held their first camp earlier this year in June. Since then, they have traveled the Columbia Gorge helping young athletes. “I speak for all of the coaches when I say this is a passion for us and an amazing summer job,” David said. “We love running these.” Many of the coaches in the camp grew up playing ball in Klickitat County and graduated on to bigger things. Their whole goal is bringing the knowledge and skills they have back to the Columbia Gorge and grow the baseball commu nity by getting more kids involved in the sport. The camp they hosted in Gol dendale had two sessions, and it is the only one this summer that did. They held one session for the younger ages and one for the older kids. They split the camp up like this because they were asked to hold a high school camp, and since they were already in the area, it made sense to them to hold a camp for the younger kids as well. This camp was four days. Goldendale didn’t have as many kids as the other camps, but the lower numbers did allow the kids to get a little more one-onone time and dive deeper into the skills they were learning. The younger kids mostly learned the basic skills, how to communicate on the field, where to move around the field when the ball is hit, and sequencing their swing and throws correctly. As for the high school kids who already had the basics, they broke down the mechanics of fielding and hitting. They also spoke about play ing ball after high school at the next level, what it looks like, and how to get there. After the main fourday camp, the pitchers and catchers came back for a fifth day of learning that was geared to their aspect of the game. This week went pretty smoothly; the parents were great, and David said, “The kids were hard workers and had a lot of Therefun.” is a lot that goes into the camp. Lots of phone calls, emails, and planning to get everything set up for the week. But it is all worth it when the kids have that moment where they understand and eve rything clicks, then the coaches know they are making a difference and helping kids succeed. If you happened to have missed this week, you can attend any of the other camps they offer the rest of the summer. The next one will be held in The Dalles starting August 8th. David also offers pri vate lessons upon request in Trout Lake. The web site is peak-baseball.com, and the phone number is (509) 637-0631. We are very grateful that these coaches came in and brought their knowledge to our kids.

The United States has many famous bridges like the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado, and the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. One of the most famous and most recognised bridges is the Golden Gate Bridge. It is not only the most photographed bridge in the world but has also appeared in almost 30 movies. The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge. That means that horizontal cables run between towers and vertical cables run from the horizontal cable to the deck of the bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge has 250 pairs of vertical suspension cables. If you laid all of the cable out in a straight line it would be 80,000 miles long. The whole bridge is over 8,000 feet long and at its highest point, the deck of the bridge is 220 feet above the water.

Bridge construction capabilities continue to improve making it possible to make bridges stronger and longer. Of the ten longest bridges in the world China has seven, The United States has two and Thailand has one. The title for the longest bridge in the world goes to the Danyang-Kunshang Grand Bridge in China. It is a railroad bridge that goes over land and water. Three of China’s other six bridges on the list are also railroad bridges. The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana is number number eight on the list but it is also number one. What? How is that? This causeway is the longest bridge in the world that runs nonstop over water. It is almost 24 miles long.

There are six main bridge types. There is the arch, suspension, truss, cantilevered, and beam bridges and all of them have their strengths and weaknesses. The kind of bridge someone builds depends on the span, how much money it will cost and the terrain. Most of the oldest bridges are arched bridges built during the Roman empire. They found that the arched bridge would cover longer spans and were sturdier than simple wood beam bridges. Archeologists have identified 931 Roman bridges. More than 800 are still standing and some are even still being used. That’s pretty amazing considering some of them are almost 2,000 years old. No matter where you go, there is a time where you will have to cross a bridge. Bridges have been built for thousands of years. They help us cross things that without a bridge would be impossible to cross. Some bridges are built to be walked on by pedestrians. Some are for trains and for automobiles. There are stone bridges built as long as 3,000 years ago, and there are new modern bridges that defy gravity. Bridges can be beautiful and some are photographed more than any other thing in the world. Large or small, new or old, bridges help us get to where we want to go.

Tayler Bradley SportS Editor We continue to get closer and closer to Fair, and the kids have been preparing to shine in their events for months now. One of those kids is Hadlee Beierle. She is not new to the showing scene as she has shown an animal each year over the past 9 years. This is some thing she really enjoys doing.Hadlee is going to show a market steer again this year, making it her fifth one. In the past, she also has shown goats and horses, but steers seem to be her favorite. Hadlee started showing steers when she was eight years old, and it just stuck. Her first year she won Grand Champion Showman in her class, and her showmanship skills are only getting better. She trav els to other fairs and shows to get in practice and to com pete. Some of the places she has been to include Ellens burg, Moses Lake, Puyallup, Longview, Hermiston, Red mond, Reno, and Nebraska. Showing steers has grown into something great for Hadlee.These steers aren’t just cattle out in the field for her. “I spend time them from the day they are born up to the day they leave,” says Hadlee, “to bond and work with them.” These bonds that she creates are very helpful when they are in the showring. The steer feels comfortable and is able to stay calm so it can perform its very best in front of the judge. Her favorite parts ae getting the steer all cleaned up, showing of all the hard work she has put in to the judge, and getting to see the endThisresult.is not something she picked up on her own. Hadlee has been raised in the livestock community and has found a passion in it just like her family. Being a part of this community, Hadlee has learned a lot of things such as leadership, responsibility, determina tion, grit, and how to care for animals. She has accom plished a lot so far and has many more years left to con tinue reaching more goals. When Fair arrives, be sure to head to the livestock barns and visit with Hadlee and see her steer. If you don’t catch her there, you may also see her competing in the Western Games, Fam ily Penning, and she and her cousin will be carrying the American flag during the rodeo. Hadlee will be very busy the week of Fair, but there will be lots of fun and accomplishments made. Contributed STEER VETERAN: Hadlee Beierle is already experienced at showing steers. Prep: Beierle

Tayler Bradley SportS Editor One more week before Fair, and the kids partici pating are ready to show off all their hard work and spend time with their friends before school starts. Dalton Monoian is one of these kids who is ready to go by showing a pig again for the eighth year. Dalton started showing when he was three years old, so he will have experience on his side during showmanship. Pigs are a little different than showing other ani mals. Those who choose to show a pig do not get to hal ter their animal like steers or hold them like sheep. When showing a pig, you must guide it in the direc tion you want it to go with a cane or show stick. It can be hard to move it in the direction you want, but if you work with the animal before Fair, you can get it used to being more willing to move in the show ring. “Sometimes it can be a chal lenge to get your animal to listen to you,” says Dalton, “even if you have worked with them.” He does work with his pig a lot before Fair to help it get used to people and help keep it calm in the show ring. Another thing Dalton does is attend other shows to get practice in before our own Fair. Over the last two years he has attended the Tygh Valley Junior Livestock Show. He is really doing the work to have the most successful fair he can this year. Along with showing an animal, the kids have to do projects to display in the barn. These help the com munity members who visit the livestock barn learn things about the animals. What is really cool about the whole thing is the kids who are showing are also learning and sharing that information. Dalton enjoys learning new things about these animals every year. Aside from showing his pig, Dalton will also be com peting in the Family and Team Penning. He has been riding his horse and keep ing him in shape for these FairWhenactivities.Fair comes, Dal ton is determined to win a buckle, and because of all his hard work he has a good chance. He is very respon sible and knows his time and efforts will pay off. If you are interested in show ing an animal, Dalton has some advice, and that is, “It takes time, and you have to be patient. But always have fun, too.” And that is what the Klickitat County Fair & Rodeo is sure to hold for him and his friends this year. Be sure to stop by and check out Dalton and his pigs this year when you come to the Fair. Dalton Monoian his

Last weekend Goldendale was the landing spot for a multitude of rock crawlers. Goldendale has been an event site for them for quite a few years, and the competitors love coming back here. Our rough terrain is like one huge playground for these drivers, and they couldn’t wait to get out on the course at Broken Boulder Farms on Pipeline Road where there are plenty of massive rocks and boul ders for them to crawl over. Rock Crawl events take place throughout the sum mer all over the country. The World Extreme Rock Crawling Championship Series splits the events up into two different series, east and west. Drivers compete in either series and one event from the opposite series to earn the National Champi onship title. Then they have a Grand National Event in Farmington, New Mexico, this fall where they can earn the Grand National title. Points are earned by the teams on the course, and, good or bad, the team must work through each obstacle the best they can. What most people don’t know is that rock crawls are not a race but a strategy and finesse com petition. As the driver works through the course, a spotter helps direct him so they can get to the finish line within the allotted time. Having a good line of communication with the driver and spotter is very important in this sport. All the competitors began arriving and setting up camp, checking in their vehicles and catching up with old friends at Broken Boulder on Friday, August 5. Each vehicle checked in the different components to be placed in the appropriate class. For the Goldendale event they had a Sportsman ship Class with four differ ent levels depending on what variations they have on their vehicle. Then they have two Pro Classes, one that limits the modifications the drivers can make and one that allows for unlimited modifications. Vehicle variations came be a multitude of things such as tire size, how many seats there are, front and rear steering, and so on. Many of these modifications are made for the team to get through the course most efficiently. Once the driver had checked in the vehicle, they drove downtown for a car show Friday evening on Main Street. They brought the Rock Crawl vehicles and invited any other fun or fancy car for the specta tors to see up close. It was a great way to intrigue people and get them to come out and watch the Saturdaycompetition.morning, they woke up and got their vehi cles ready for the course. The first day of competition began as each team in each class worked their way through four different courses doing their best to get the lowest score they could. Saturday evening was a time for eve ryone to relax and prepare for the final day. On Sunday, changes were made to each course which brought new and different obstacles, and the teams went through the new courses trying hard to better their scores. After the two days of com peting, the final results were in. In the Sportsman Class C, team Chad Kreps and Tom Baker took home the win. In the Sportsman Class B, Krissy and Tory Trinka finished in the negatives for first place. Dwayne Lewis and Mike Almazan finished first in Sportsman Class A. Sportsman Class AA was won by Dylan and James Treacy. The Pro Modified Class was won by Mat Brun wasser and Issac Oerright. Finally, in the Pro Unlim ited Class, Jesse Haines and Chris Poblano got the win. The weather held nicely all weekend, and it was a great success. There were lots of people who came out to watch and enjoy the event. Golden dale is thankful to be a part of such a wonderful event.
