A resolution moving the Klicki-

Kiwanis Club shutting down

JORDAN MAYBERRY

FOR THE SENTINEL

1982 saw a new chapter of the international Kiwanis Club established to serve the town of Goldendale and its surrounding areas. For 43 years this chapter has been dedicated to meeting the needs of the community through financial support, good works, and fostering connections between volunteers and residents. At the end of September 2024, these services will cease as the chapter comes to an end.

“Unfortunately, we do not have enough members to keep it running because it is all volunteer supported,” says Theone Wheeler, secretary of the Goldendale Kiwanis Club. “It seems to have been the same six to eight of us keeping it alive the last couple years.”

Long-standing members have worked hard to keep the club together, but they too have faced challenges in maintaining their commitment.

“Due to health issues and other reasons, members have been retiring and wanting to travel,” Wheeler explains. With a dwindling number of members and a lack of new volunteers, the club has found it increasingly difficult to sustain its operations. “We cannot hold it together without a full team of people,” Wheeler adds.

Over the years, the Goldendale Kiwanis Club has provided numerous services requiring both financial resources and volunteer efforts to sustain. “We’ve raised money for 4-H, we’ve raised money for Native American hunting and fishing programs, we also do high school scholarships every year—that’s part of the money we raise; the rest goes to books, programs, the school district, and other organizations,” Wheeler details.

A major initiative of the club was promoting children’s literacy. “We gave free books at any and every major event, and we give books to the schools as well for children’s literacy pro-

line is, overall, the city’s looking pretty good,” she said. “Everything’s tracking where we budgeted it to be as a whole. The general fund is looking solid, the utility funds are looking solid, and then there’s nothing out of whack within the other funds as well.” A proposal to construct Captain Jack Commons, described as “a recreational vehicle, motor coach and equestrian neighborhood” at the site of the old nursing home on Simcoe Drive did not fare so well. The plan was

A contingent of 65 senior firefighters from Australia and New Zealand has arrived in the Pacific Northwest to assist in combating the region’s large wildfires. After receiving briefings at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, the firefighters were assigned to various large wildfire incidents across the Pacific Northwest including the Pioneer Fire on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.

Over the next several weeks they will be filling key leadership and operational positions such as Helibase Managers, Division Supervisors, Task Force Leaders, and Safety Officers.

“We are deeply grateful to our colleagues from Australia and New Zealand

for their critical support,” said Jacque Buchanan, Regional Forester for the USDA Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Region. “Their expertise is essential as we continue to face a prolonged and extreme fire season.”

Mutual wildland fire assistance between the U.S. and these countries goes back more than 20 years.

This marks the eighth time since 2000 that Australia has sent firefighters to the U.S.

The U.S. has also sent wildland firefighters to assist in Australia during their fire seasons.

“This deployment of specialists from Australia and New Zealand is just the most recent example of the collaborative relationship with the U.S. fire agencies and continues

to demonstrate the interoperability between these countries that has existed for more than two decades,” said Josh Torrens, Agency Representative for the Australia and New Zealand contingent.

This week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture

A man and his critter. Especially around Fair time, that’s about as natural a combination as can be. We’re guessing he was an insurance actu-

ary. Okay, yes, we’re kidding, but who knows what his regular work was? Do you recognize this guy? We haven’t a clue. All we know is this picture ran

L OOKING BACK

August 13, 1914 – 110 Years Ago

The Fenton caterpillar traction engine and three heavy wheat cars are hauling wheat every day from the country to the warehouse.   The engine pulls the heavy loads without any effort, displacing many horse teams that would be required to do the same work.

August 8, 1944 – 80 Years Ago

Lt. Joe Jobe, Goldendale, again made newspaper headlines and radio comment recently when the following news was released from Okinawa, July 1 by the Associated Press: Planes piloted by Lt. Joe Jobe of Goldendale, WA and Lt. Howard Turner of Cambridge, Mass., accounted for damage which totaled at least 1960 tons sunk and 310 tons damaged.  Sunk were a 1500-ton freighter, two small freighters and one 300-ton ship.  Damaged were three freighters and one schooner.  Lt. Jobe is expected here soon, according to a story in Monday’s Spokesman-Review, which quoted Admiral Nimitz as saying, “The Japanese should be happy that your squadron members are going home on leave.”  According to Nimitz, Jobes PB4Y squadron made an almost unbelievable score against the Japanese from Nauru to Wake; from the Marshalls to the Bonin’s in seven and half months.  Lt. Jobe is a half-brother of Clifford Beeks, of Goldendale, and is related to several families here.

July 1, 1954 – 70 Years Ago

One of the most outstanding landmarks at Goldendale in early days was the Armory Hall, the fi rst theater in Klickitat County.  This frontier day playhouse was a big barn-like structure, 100 x 50 feet, located on the southwest corner of Grant and Broadway streets.  It had the usual large false front, like pioneer stores.  It was called the armory because a militia company used it for drills and a gun arsenal.  About 20 feet of the west end was walled off for a stage.  This stage was modeled after stages in big city theaters. There was a stage entrance on Broadway, dressing rooms for actors. Scenery of the “Old Homestead” type was painted on the canvas nailed to big cumbersome lumber frames that were supposed to slide.  Scenic artists were Elgin and Dee Parrott. Coal oil lamps with tine reflectors were used, until considered too much of a fi re hazard.  All seats were portable hard straight back wooden benches.  It was not unusual for 100 couples to be in a grand march.

August 12, 1954 – 70 Years Ago

Klickitat County Civil Defense will be challenged with a simulated problem of caring for 300 temporary homeless people at Bingen August 23 when “Operation Flood out” will assume the breaching of Grand Coulee Dam by Hydrogen Bomb.  According to plans revealed by Admiral Daniel Barbey, State Civil Defense Director, the hypothetical bomb will destroy a large part of the dam and release seven-million-acre feet of water from the 150-mile pool above the dam. This would create a terrific flood along the 597 miles of the Columbia River from the dam to the sea. A large part of the area of Bingen would be flooded.  The Columbia waters would reach a level of 20 feet above the record 1894 flood water in Bingen.  This community would have time to get ready, however as the water level would not start rising for 36 hours.  It would take an additional 20 hours for the river to attain its maximum crest.

August 15, 1974 – 50 Years Ago

Behind the Tube – The Goldendale Cablevision receiving antenna is not just a single antenna, in fact, there are two or more antennas for each television channel. Every antenna is specially built for its particular use, and each is tuned to precisely one channel and no others.  These antennas are located a half mile from town on the same land as the Observatory.

Answer to last week´s Mystery Picture

This picture has been colorized. Chuck Gronewald and Merwin Eshleman were the two gentlemen in last week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture. While everyone immediately recognized Chuck, who was a Goldendale High School

Vocational Ag instructor for 29 years, not everyone could put a name to Merwin right away. We guessed this picture to be from around the mid ’50s. While Chuck was a teacher from 1941 to 1970, Merwin graduated in 1957, which puts a much smaller timeframe on it.

On one such trip, the postmaster at The Dalles told him they were unable to get the mail through to Goldendale and offered him $10 if he would take it. Makes Mail Trip

Stegman is Real Pioneer at 91 July 20, 1944

D. H. Stegman, who has been a subscriber of The Sentinel for 65 years, celebrated his 91st birthday July 4.

Stegman peeled potatoes to earn his passage to the New World from his native land, Germany, when he was but a lad of 14, unable to speak a word of English.

“I remember marching in a parade for General Grant in New York,” the whitehaired gentleman smiled as he reminisced, “I was working in a blacksmith shop as a wagon-maker, and the boys from the fi re station across the street said, ‘Come on, Dutchy, you come with us.’ I didn’t know much about it as I hadn’t been in this country very long. I carried a banner for Grant, but at the time, I didn’t know what it said.”

Comes To Klickitat

He later left New York for Florida, where he cut live oak timber for the Navy yards. Then he went briefly to California and Portland. He came to Klickitat in 1878 and worked in The Dalles at his trade of wagon maker and blacksmith.

“When I came here, I fi led on a homestead down near Warwick, and subscribed to The Goldendale Sentinel. I haven’t missed an issue since. I still have that 2,234acre stock ranch now, and I

used to have another ranch around Centerville. I’ve been here for six year.”

Stegman was not bothered by such things as a three-day holiday for the stores, as he had to go to The Dalles to get all his provisions.

There was six feet of snow, but Stegman put on his snowshoes and walked the entire distance, carrying the mail through to Goldendale. Around Christmas time, he would walk to The Dalles just to buy trinkets and toys for his children. He has one son and three girls living: Meta Morin, Maimie Mueller, Bertha Gerver and Henry Stegman. He also has four grandchildren: Al Wilke, LaVerne Wilke, Raymond Mueller and Anna May Stegman. He was married in 1881 on New Year’s day to Anna Gelhouse, who is still beside him.

Points to ponder:

I knew a guy so bald it looked like his neck was blowing a bubble.

OpiniOn

Last week, during the Klickitat County Fair, I had the opportunity to share some of my recent experience from the Republican National Convention (RNC) with people in the community. I wish to express my deepest gratitude for the many people, more than one hundred in all, who generously contributed to make this trip possible. Having been elected as a delegate at the county caucuses, county convention, and state convention, it was truly an honor to represent our community and the state of Washington at the RNC in Milwaukee.

For those interested, there will be upcoming events in which I will share pictures and more details about the many positive and unexpected takeaways. In this piece, however, my desire is to inspire hope that as Americans we can find common ground, that our country can come together and that we can once again stand united on common sense solutions that benefit us all.

As a political novice, I must confess to harboring a certain degree of skepticism about the political process. I have long believed the political establishment to be a corrupt enterprise, wherein the two major parties repeatedly exploit and abuse their constituents to pad their pockets, enrich their estates, and maintain the status quo. Perhaps you can relate with this perspective?

The hefty questionnaire I had to fill out to attend the convention questioned whether I was a lifelong Republican and pressed me to explain why I support the Republican Party. Given my mistrust and antipathy toward the party bosses, these questions were strangely difficult to answer.

No, I explained, I have not been a lifelong Republican. I’ve always considered myself a fiscally conservative, socially conscious, politically independent thinker with a Libertarian bent. I’ve always thought of the party platforms as mental holding pens, pointing out that if we only look at things from the Left and Right, then we are missing the other 358-degrees of perspective.

I share this to dispel any assumption that I am a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, even though I unabashedly support the local Republican Party. I stand with local Republicans because we are aligned on important principles, such as keeping our communities safe, ensuring our kids get a sound education, and supporting prudent fiscal stewardship so we all benefit from a strong and prosperous economy. We share appreciation and respect for traditional American values.

What I witnessed in Milwaukee was nothing less than a monumental shift in public sentiment. I heard compelling testimony from lifelong Democrats, liberal influencers, and union bosses, all of whom were articulating their desire for safe communities, good schools, and an affordable economy. Setting the more divisive issues aside, we essentially all want the same

thing.

It’s common to hear the quip these days, “This isn’t your grand-daddy’s party.” The Democrat Party has changed significantly, and so has the Republican Party. Some of these changes are quite alarming, some clearly damaging, while others feel long overdue and welcomed. It’s worth taking a fresh look. You do not have to be a Republican to value living in a safe community, being able to afford groceries, or wanting your kids to get a good education. That said, you do have to vote.

Ask yourself: does the world feel safer today than it was four years ago? How is your paycheck holding up to inflation? What do you think about rent prices, mortgage rates, and heavy taxation? How do you feel about the crime and drugs? How do you feel about funding wars around the world? How are your kids doing? Be honest, are you personally better off?

For myself and millions of middle-of-the-road Americans, both Republicans and Democrats alike, the world feels less safe and more chaotic than ever before. Something must change. When we cast our votes, we can be that change. Reflect on the last four years. You have a choice. Cast your vote for more of the same or choose to believe in a better future and dare to vote accordingly.

Burn-out has got to go

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.

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

Letters from the community

A Democrat way of thinking

It’s been years since I wrote a letter to the editor in the Sentinel. I used to have fun producing an occasional piece called “South of the Simcoes with Jim Link” that ran in that paper. It mostly dealt with stories of local interest, occasionally with political issues, and I had a field day exposing the fraud and corruption when individuals from the White Salmon area pursued a path that netted them millions of local taxpayer dollars. The scheme was to file a lawsuit, alleging harm to flora and fauna against a public entity or an NGO [nonprofit organization]; then, when a monetary settlement was reached, the lawsuit was dropped.

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.”

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.

that from their ranks came a despicable bunch who cost the county millions of dollars to settle lawsuits that benefitted only themselves. That this kind of thinking is pervasive among Democrats is not surprising.

Ken Margraf Goldendale

“For No Reason At All” I particularly found offensive.

I’m an “old guy,” born in 1935. One of my earliest memories as a child is talk by adults of cheating in elections by the Democrat Partly in Chicago. (I was raised in the Midwest). That they have raised cheating to an art form should not be lost on any patriotic American.

Jim Link Goldendale

His support is astounding

That these individuals came from the White Salmon area is curious. That there were several individuals involved in this nefarious (but lawful) scheme is also curious. In one instance individuals from the White Salmon area were invited, and came, to a gathering at the Grange Hall in Centerville to explain themselves. Several local landowners who were to benefit from the wind farms were present. The discussion became heated, and one of the perpetrators said, “Here come the torches and pitchforks.”

If the people from White Salmon consider us to be a bunch of rubes who need their advice in the Political Realm, we need to remind them

Besides being a psychopath and pathologic liar, Donald Trump—the fake bone-spur draft dodger—is a traitorous buffoon. He once again denigrated the sacrifices of veterans and Medal of Honor recipients compared to the sycophants like Rush Limbaugh he gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to. That MAGA Republicans still support this miscreant is astounding.

But apparently MAGA Republicans—mostly Fox News-brainwashed Christofacsists who wish to impose their conservative religious beliefs on the rest of society and their manipulating ruling-class

Guidelines for Letters

gazillionaire sponsors who want an even more powerful oligarchy of the rich unencumbered by democracy, taxes, and regulations on business (Project 2025)—couldn’t care less that their candidate is a convicted criminal and sexual assaulter, a thief of top secret classified government documents, and leader of an attempted coup to overturn a legitimate presidential election he decisively lost. For these traitors and enemies of democracy, the ends justify the means.

Trump has now called Kamala Harris a “full communist” for a plan to level the economic playing field by imposing regulations on corporate price gouging. I guess tax cuts for the already insanely rich and well off corporations is the only kind of economic charity he knows. At the same time, Trump exchanged love letters with Kim Jong Un of communist North Korea and now applauds Russian oligarch and dictator Vladimir Putin for his “genius” invasion of Ukraine, praising Putin for the “great” prisoner exchange recently achieved by Biden and our allies in Europe. No doubt Trump needs to curry even more favor with Putin—he will need another prisoner exchange from Putin to get his butt out of jail when he loses this November’s election.

It was good to hear that residents of our neighboring community of Trout Lake can now breathe a sigh of relief that some of the homes over there are no longer under a Level 3 evacuation order, and the other areas of Trout Lake are no longer under Level 2 warning. Many of our Glenwood residents have homes in or bordering forested lands over here and have concerns regarding how to prepare if a large fire begins near their homes and property.

The following important information was provided by Glenwood resident Mary Scott: neighborhood members are interested in creating a Fire Adapted Community group in order to gather resources for strengthening Glenwood from forest fires. The new group welcomes all members of the community who would like to participate in the safety of our community under fire conditions. Our next meeting will be in September. To get on the mailing list, contact Rebecca Koski at (310) 985-4443. The September meeting date, time and location will be announced by September 1.

The Mt Adams Resource Stewards, a nonprofit home based in Glenwood, has volunteered to meet individually with Glenwood residents to do home and property assessments and to help families create property that can better withstand forest fires. Home wildfire risk assessments will involve a staff member from Mt. Adams Resource Stewards (MARS) meeting you at your property for 30-45 minutes to identify potential wildfire risk factors on and around your home. This service is provided free of charge, and assessment findings are for your information only (they are not reported anywhere, and you are not obligated to take any actions). Sign up at this link: forms.gle/bbnDSXxmbPhwWcvK9. The Fire Adapted Community group is also working on a micro grant to fund a community project that will strengthen against spread of fire in the valley. They welcome all community input. What a week this has been for many of our Glenwood residents. Several Glenwood kids had 4-H projects at the Fair, so it was a lot of work but a lot of fun. Anthony Avila received Reserve Champion Market Swine. Way to go, Anthony. The other 4-H kids came home with lots of blue ribbons and good sales of their animals at the end. Little kids Natalie Miller (age 5) and her little sister Haylee (almost 3) showed pigs and got bags full of goodies for their efforts. There were many other Glenwood entries in fine arts, crafts, knitting, crocheting, and photography. I didn’t get a list of all those from our community who entered but have to brag about our Glenwood resident Anni Stumpf, who received an Outstanding ribbon for one of her photos of an otter

at the mill pond and blues on her many other photos. She received top of show for a knitted afghan and top ribbons for her beautiful handmade lace work and a knitted sweater coat. Awesome, Anni. Little Natalie Miller received a blue ribbon for her wonderful painting of a sunflower.

Among all the cowgirls and cowboys who competed in the county events, two are cowgirls who also keep our Glenwood school up and running smoothly. Toni Thiele Troh, the Glenwood School Administrative Assistant, competed in team penning with her father, Dale Thiele and sister Kristin Chambers. In another combination of Thieles, Toni’s dad, brother Mike, and nephew Kane placed first in the penning. That was three generations of Thieles and Toni has huge reasons to be proud.

Jaecee Hoctor, the school business manager, competed in the adult division in Western Games and received the reserve champion award. Her daughter Jocee, a freshman, received reserve champion in her age division, and her other daughter Jentry, a 5th grader, placed third in her age group. Jaecee also competed in ranch sorting.

The Hoctor cowgirls competed in the family penning in various team combinations. Jentry teamed with John, Aubrey, and little Pacen Stephens in the penning and placed in the top eight. The Stephens family also teamed with Bailey Rickman and won first place in penning. I should add Pacen Stephens is only two years old, but he was an awesome little cowboy out there, loving every minute. This was the first of many county fair competitions for that little guy.

On Friday night, Jocee Hoctor teamed with her parents and Johnny Stephens in the 4 on 2 branding. This was Jocee’s first year in that event. Despite first-year nerves, they made it to the finals, finishing in the top six. That busy cowgirl then had to load her horses and head to Milton-Freewater with her dad to compete in her junior rodeo both Saturday and Sunday. She reported that things went well in her events for both days there. As if the week and weekend weren’t full enough, there’s no rest for the weary. Jocee began high school volleyball practice on Monday on the Klickwood team coached by her mom, Jaecee. That is one busy family, for sure. Keeping it all in the family, I wanted to mention, Jocee’s and Jentry’s grandpa, Joe Davitt, served as arena superintendent during the horse classes and received a special award for his willingness to take on an important job.

It was fun to see soonto-be-married Jonathon Throop and Jennifer Kennedy, teamed with Joe Neipp, in the team penning. I did see Emma Patterson and Joslyn Arnold out there in some of the events, too. I know I’m

probably missing many others who competed in county events, and I apologize for leaving anyone out.

In the actual NPRA rodeo, Blake Masden, who we still claim as a Glenwood kid, received a fairly low score in the bull riding because his bull fell down coming out of the chute. Blake did make a good ride for the full 8 seconds and was offered a re-ride, which he chose not to take. Good thing, because Blake ended up as the only bull rider for either day who made a good ride. Congratulations, Blake. You won it all.

The Montana State University rodeo team is very lucky to be getting Blake as a member of the team.

Glenwood cowgirl Peyton Sanchey, a member of the Klickitat County High School Rodeo Club, competed in barrels during Slack on Sunday morning. Joslyn Arnold competed in the breakaway during Slack. I haven’t yet heard how those young ladies finished, because there were many entries in both those events over the two days. Joslyn will soon head to Walla Walla to attend college and be on the Walla Walla Community College rodeo team. Former Glenwood resident Charlie Barker was busy both days serving as a pickup man for the rough stock events, but also competed in the saddle bronc event on Sunday and ended up as top winner in that event.

As I mentioned earlier, the Glenwood/Klickitat/Trout Lake high school volleyball team, known as Klickwood, started practices on Monday, the 19th. Two other cowgirls who had a full week at the rodeo, JayCee McLean and Riley Rickman attend school in Trout Lake, and they also had to hurry home after the Fair and get ready for that first practice as members of the Klickwood team. Check the school website or with Mrs. Troh in the school office for a volleyball schedule and let’s hope for great turnouts to support our Klickwood girls this season. School officially starts on the 28th.

ty logo with “Corrections” written underneath it.

In other items, Van Cleave said that in securing gas cards for the new department, he discovered the cards used by the Sheriff’s Office were valid only at Chevron and Pacific Pride, while ones used by the state are good at multiple locations, and that’s what the county would be applying for, set up through the auditor’s department.

No decision has been made yet on when the commissioners will pass the resolution moving the department and what date might be set for the transfer.

Fiscal Manager Jennifer Neil submitted a package of budget amendments. In this packet of materials, her executive summary read “There are a total of 10 requests in the second supplemental budget amendment packet. Of these requests, four require budget intervention from the Board of County Commissioners. I am able to accommodate the four requests requiring budget intervention with the unexpected Local Assistance & Tribal Consistency Fund dollars the County received as part of the American Rescue Plan Bill. There are three that are technical adjustments, therefore have no real impact to the budget. The remaining are budget neutral, these requests come with revenue to cover the expense.”

The amendments passed unanimously.

And there was some good news from Public Health Director Erin Quinn. “The Public Health Department is now hosting a representative from the Veterans Administration,” she said. “He’s going to be in Goldendale once a month and White Salmon once a month, and his role specifically is to connect with homeless veterans.”

She said it was rare to have someone come out of the Portland VA to help in rural areas and hoped it was an indication of the future. The inter-commissioner relationships, which have

Platt noting that the application “technically meets the site requirements for an RV Park,” and Councilor Theone Wheeler arguing that developer Gene Callan had, in fact, done his due diligence and turned in a proposal that fit the requirements, the council affirmed the Board of Adjustment rejection.

In other business, Mayor Dave Jones reported that the public works committee recommended the council eliminate parking on West Broadway. This would not be an easy or overnight process.

“Changing the parking on West Broadway will require the city to take certain steps,” he said, “including, but not limited to, legal advice, public hearings, and potentially paying for traffic safety studies. All of which will require the expenditure of money and staff hours.”

shown a much mellower side in the previous five or six weeks, turned sharp again following public comment from several Dallesport residents about a 2011 contract signed with the Dallesport Water District that the county, they said, had not honored.

In his reply, Commissioner Dan Christoper remarked, “I guess I’ll say to the Dallesport folks, it is my full belief, sitting in this chair in open session, and in what was said in executive session, that I am the only person that wants to abide by that contract.

“I will tell you there is a concerted effort to throw that contract out and renegotiate the contract, regardless of the lip service you’re getting.... I don’t do lip service; I don’t do BS. I tell it like it is, and that’s how it is. You can see they don’t want you to have that water because there’s a lot of money to be made in that water with hookups, both water and sewer. And it would be nice to be able to transfer that to the empirebuilding agency in the county, which is the PUD, and then they can make all that money.”

Those comments drew a response from Commissioner Jacob Anderson, who was appearing from Alaska by Zoom, “It’s in the contract the FAA has to sign off,” he said. “What we don’t want to do is stop development at the airport for the next 20 years because we get a red flag because we’ve done a gift of public funds to you guys that harms the airport and harms the county. And it’s we who are spending county dollars, not the residents of Dallesport. Any statements to the contrary are clearly a conspiracy theory that some people want to push badly.”

Chair Lori Zoller said the situation was a difficult one. “For me, it’s been a frustrating battle to go between all the different entities and try to land on a solution,” she said. “We’re at a point where we need to find a cooperative effort,

Ultimately, on a 5 to 2 split vote, the council decided the first step would be to consult with the Washington Department of Transportation since Broadway Street is also State Highway 142. If the state were to oppose any closures, that would effectively end the matter. If the state were not to object, the council would consult with legal advisors.

where all parties get to the table, and we start laying out documents and answering questions to each other.” Under the consent agenda, commissioners approved:

• An agreement with Tyler Technologies Inc. for a case management system.

• An amendment to an agreement with Designated Crisis Responder Lacey Villamar who is temporarily filling the position of the Behavioral Health Manager.

• An amendment to an agreement with Carelon Behavioral Health, Inc.

• A statement of work with CivicPlus meeting and agenda software.

• A grant to the Columbia Gorge Regional Airport for engineering design for Phase II of the Aviation Business Park Development.

• Authorizations to advertise for a vacant planner position and a clerical position in the elections department.

• A public meeting on approval of a short plat for the Marlene Ruber Trust in the White Salmon vicinity.

• A two-year contract with Pacific Power Group, LLC to test, maintain, and service six generators in Goldendale and White Salmon.

• A fuel agreement with Washington State Patrol to allow the purchase of fuel through the Road Division of the Public Works Department during the Big Horn Fire. The above were all unanimously approved. Christopher requested an amendment extending an agreement with Aspect Consulting on the Switzler Reservoir contract be pulled from the consent agenda and voted on separately so that he could record his no vote.

grams.” The club has also been active in other community initiatives. “Our big things were the golf tournaments, book giveaways—we held soup kitchens every week at the Methodist Church, we raised money for the robotics club and the installation banquet,” Wheeler notes. “During our banquet, we raise money during a silent auction to support the robotics club. We’ve also raised money for other organizations. We’ve done a lot for the community over the years.” Unfortunately, challenges in the past two years, particularly with their key fundraising event, signaled trouble for the chapter’s sustainability. “We had no support for the golf event from the community, our main fundraiser. The city had loaned us money for the event, and we had to give it back,” Wheeler explains.

One of the final commitments of the chapter is their flag-flying project on the streets of Goldendale. “It’s just one of our main things we do in the community, to show patronage. We fly flags,” Wheeler saya. “A lot of our original members were former military or affiliated.”

As the chapter prepares for its farewell, it is working to ensure the continuation of this tradition. “Nothing’s set in stone, but I believe one of our members has reached out to the president of the American Legion,” Wheeler says, emphasizing the need for another recognized body to inherit the tradition.

“The flag flying has to be insured in order for us to pass it on; it has to be an insured organization. There are liabilities that we have to have covered in order to do that. It’s better to pass it on to an established organization rather than starting a new one,” she states. The importance of preserving this tradition is clear, as Wheeler notes, “Several of the people who fly the flags are past activeduty members.”

The closure of the Goldendale Kiwanis Club is part of a larger trend affecting service clubs across the country. “We’re part of the Northwest District. There are 50-someodd clubs in that district. They upped the price for these clubs, and COVID kicked them as well; I believe at least four chapters have closed. Rural chapters have been hit hard,” Wheeler said. “It seems all charitable

clubs are struggling for volunteers.”

There are many reasons for declining engagement in service organizations, with some attributing it to fraying social cohesion or a growing culture of selfinterest over community interest. However, Wheeler points to a less-discussed factor—financial reasons.

“It’s a little much, and it’s hard to get members for the price; you’re volunteering for free,” Wheeler says, referring to the rising cost of membership in Kiwanis International, which has been increasing as membership declines.

“Volunteering is one thing, but paying a membership to volunteer is another thing.”

As the Goldendale Kiwanis Club prepares to make their final farewell, the impact of their work will continue to resonate in the community. The books they’ve donated, the scholarships they’ve supported, and the services they’ve provided will leave a lasting legacy, even if the club itself becomes a fading memory. The community, as it always does, will find new ways to support itself and new means to foster a culture of service even with the club’s departure.

The city also passed its mandatory six-year street plan, following a brief public hearing at which none of the public showed up to testify. In order to get grant funding, the city is required to identify a list of priority projects for the next six years. This year’s top project is West Darland from Railroad Avenue to Mill Street, and next year’s is South Shuster from Collins to Simcoe Drive. Other years include North Mill, more of West Darland, East Simcoe and Main Street.

According to a staff report, a study of the project files from former Goldendale City Administrator Pat Munyan revealed the city has been acting since last September as if Pioneer Surveying and Engineering is the engineer of record for the Waterline Improvement Project. The report says the company was given verbal approval by Munyan in January, and since then, the city has paid more than $98,000 in invoices submitted. In fact, the contract was never brought to the city council for approval, and councilors were able to correct that situation by formally adopting the agreement. And there was more good

news, as reported by Mayor Dave Jones: “We took delivery of the new Ekone Park playground equipment,” he said, adding installation would be scheduled for the end of September. “We are so excited to get that new playground equipment. And if you remember, that’s the equipment that we purchased that’s handicapaccessible, that you can put wheelchairs on and is inclusive. That’s going to be coming to fruition soon. We’re all really excited about that.”

M yt h olog ical Mythological C r e at ur e s Creatures

Season 4 Episode 33

Did you know that many of your favorite movies, science fiction books and even some television shows are based on mythology from one ancient civilization or another? Almost every ancient civilization had stories that are now called Mythology. Mythology is a group of made-up stories that were once believed to be real. Many times, myths were created to describe events that people could not explain. Gods and magical creatures were the main characters in stories that were passed down from generation to generation. The stories made up explanations for real events like earthquakes, lightning, volcanoes and even rain. There were gods that were good and gods that were evil. Different gods had different jobs. The stories also contained monsters, both good and bad, and creatures that fought against the gods or helped them. Some of the most famous myths come from Ancient Greece.

A lot of people do not like snakes. They come in all sizes and all colors, but what did a mythological water snake look like? Hydra was enormous, much larger than normal snakes. The hydra was not only big, but had nine heads and lived in the swamps around the village of Lerna. Many people disappeared in the swamps and it was believed that this place was one of the entrances to the underworld and the Hydra protected it. The god Hercules was sent to kill the hydra and he decided the best way would be to cut off its heads, but every time Hercules cut off a head, two more grew back.

Parents! Teachers! We’ve got some great learning materials on our website covering Greek Mythology, and an entire unit on the story of the Minotaur!

What happened when Medusa caught the eye of the singer? He turned into a rockstar.

Not all ancient creatures were deadly or scary and some like Pegasus are still popular. Pegasus was a beautiful white horse with wings big enough to help him fly. He was immortal, which means he could never die. Pegasus’ parents were Poseidon and Medusa. It is said that when Pegasus stomped his foot, a pond or well of water would appear and the water would have magical powers. Pegasus was wild until Athena gave a hero named Bellerophon a golden bridle to use to tame Pegasus. Bellerophon and Pegasus rode together on many great adventures. One of the most popular stories is of Pegasus and Bellerophon going to battle with the Chimera, a creature with a serpent’s tail, the body of a goat and a lion’s head.

The Minotaur is another frightening figure in Greek mythology. The son of the queen of the island of Crete and a beautiful white bull, he was half bull and half man. He had the body of a human and the head of a bull. He was very strong. It is said that the Minotaur lived in a maze called a labyrinth under the castle. The king would put people in the labyrinth and as they wandered the maze of passages, they were hunted then eaten by the Minotaur. Archaeologists have searched ancient sites on the island for traces of the labyrinth and have not found one. It is believed the king of Crete, Minos, was a warring king who took many prisoners who were never seen again and people needed a way to explain their disappearance

The Cyclops, Cerberus, Medusa, Phoenix and Centaur are others that you may recognize from modern literature. Percy Jackson and Harry Potter both battle creatures from Greek Mythology. Unicorns can be found just about everywhere you look. Look up at the sky at night and you will see constellations. Many of the constellations were named for mythological creatures by the Greeks of the ancient world. If you ran into one of these creatures in real life what would it be like? What would it be like, living in a world, without scientific knowledge that could explain about many natural phenomena? What do we think we know today that scientists of the future will call mythology?
