MAKING THE ROUNDS: A recent story about the Washington Department of Health (DOH) about to forcibly incarcerate unvaccinated people as young as five years old in Covid detention camps took cyberspace by storm. It came as a shock to the DOH, which learned of the “plan” from protestors online and at its headquarters. The invented story made national headlines, as seen in a story in USA Today (above). Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer addressed the county about the runaway rumor.

‘Forcible quarantine’ story makes it to Klickitat County LOU MARZELES EDITOR Someone last week invented a story that the Washington Department of Health (DOH) was about to authorize police and local health officials to round up people who refused to get vaccinated and forcibly imprison them in quarantine facilities.

Social media went crazy with the notion, sending alarm shock waves throughout gullible cyberspace.

Joe Kent, running for Congress in the 3rd Congressional District against Jaime Herrera Beutler, grabbed a megaphone and spoke to crowds outside the DOH headquarters urging people to protest the plan, along with two other congressional candidates and some fiery talk show hosts. All were outraged at the plan that did not exist.

As best as can be determined, the closest the DOH ever got to

anything remotely resembling such a thing was an early-stage discussion by the agency about the possibility of requiring vaccinations for students in public schools. Doh posted a statement on its website specifically to address the runaway accusations (https://tinyurl.com/2p8h8f3t).

By the time the tale reached the hinterlands—including Goldendale—it had acquired some burnishing on its fallacious details: the governor was working in concert with the DOH and law enforcement to put away people as young as five years old in detention camps.

Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer says he got a lot of calls about the nonexistent plan.

Songer took part in a Zoom conference call with the DOH on January 12. He says he learned the agency had no intention of changing isolation or quarantine policies and did not suggest using

cally to Klickitat Valley Hospital and Hospice here in Goldendale, where the quilts are greatly appreciated.

The local Piecemakers Quilter’s group continues to meet in the Fellowship Hall at Christ The King Lutheran Church in Goldendale on the second and fourth Mondays from 9 a.m. to noon.

The group of women cut, design, iron, sew, tie squares, and

keep the supplies organized.

During Covid times, many members sewed at home and still do.

The group appreciates fabric donations or cash, which is used to purchase batting or pay for Lutheran World Relief shipping costs.

Anyone can work on a quilt project and is welcome to join the group, no experience needed. For more information, call 773-6458.

ZIONVILLE COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL

‘NEWS’ OF THE DAY: A new community theater group is organizing in Goldendale. The group is considering as its first production the musical “Newsies,” done by many companies around the country such as this production at the Zionsville Community High School in Indiana.

Group seeks to organize community theater in town LOU MARZELES EDITOR Amy Poe is fresh from Portland, newly ensconced in Goldendale and full of creative ideas. Like a community theater group.

“We got here in October,” she says. “And we were very involved in theater, and that’s something we’ve really missed.” The “we” she refers to are she and her sons, Wyatt and Carlisle, and nephew Chrisopher Maldonado. The family was accustomed to doing three or four shows at the local community center on a regular basis, mostly working on offstage support such as creating sets and

organizing.

“When we got here, we asked around Facebook, ‘What do people do here for theater?’” she recalls.

The responses were resounding chorus of, “Nothing.”

“So we decided to do it ourselves,” Poe states. She and the family put their organization hats back on and set out to develop real community theater here in Goldendale. She’d like to do a production by this April, if she can get sufficient turnout for on- and offstage participation.

Poe thinks on a grand scale.

The first show she’d like to do is Newsies, the Disney Broadway musical. The show is a sweeping historical piece about newspaper delivery boys (called “Newsies” back then) in 1899 and the true story of how they stood up to a monopoly that controlled their work and wages. It’s a challenge, with its broad ensemble cast. The

Mosburcker voter pamphlet bill among first to pass House During the first official House floor action of the 2022 legislative session last Wednesday, lawmakers passed several bills to the Senate, including a measure

by Rep. Gina Mosbrucker that would help inform Washington voters overseas.

House Bill 1357 would require county auditors to mail a statewide and local voters’ pamphlet

to registered Washington voters overseas, including military voters.

“This bill was suggested to me by a soldier from overseas who receives his election ballot while serving our country, but he doesn’t get a voters’ pamphlet with it. Without that information, he has to spend valuable time trying to look up candidates

online. That’s time he could be spending talking to or FaceTiming his family or loved ones,” said Mosbrucker, R-Goldendale.

“The voters’ pamphlet is an essential tool to help voters make informed choices on the ballot.

All voters should have equal access to this, including those serving our country overseas,” added

More protection for election officials approved by Senate JUAN MORFIN WASHINGTON STATE JOURNAL Election officials will get more protection from harassment if SB 5148 becomes law.

The bill was approved in the Washington State Senate January 12 with 48 yeas and 0 nays.

It will be up to the House to approve or amend it.

In debate on the Senate floor, Sen. David Frockt, D-Seattle, said the bill will address a “grievous threat” to our democratic system.

“Here in our own state, in Washington State, which in-

spired this legislation last year, the top elections official, a deputy to our former Secretary of State had her name and home address posted online with her picture in crosshairs and the threat, ‘Your days are numbered’” said Frockt. He pleaded with fellow

Answer to last week’s Mystery Picture

This week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture There are 23 people in this picture, definitely a big crowd for a single picture. Had to be some significant occasion, we’re

thinking. Wish we knew what it was and who all these people are. All we know is this picture once ran in The Sentinel, lost in

the annals of yesteryear. If you know anything about it, please drop us an email (info@goldendalesentinel.com) or give us a call

(773-3777) or drop in at the office—and remember, you’re welcome to come in and take a look at the original photograph.

Looking Back January 13, 1912 – 110 Years Ago There was a big event at Fallbridge, Klickitat County, last Saturday when the great bridge across the Columbia River was opened to railway traffic. “With this token, I christen this bridge ‘Celilo’ and pray that happiness and prosperity may be the chief fruits of its existence,” spoke Mrs. H.M. Harps as she broke a bottle of wine against the massive steel frame of the Oregon Trunk’s new bridge. Mrs. Harps, wife of the engineer who had charge of construction, performed her notable service in the presence of Carl R. Gray president of the road and a party of railroad officials and newspaper men. The structure passes directly over Celilo Falls. The river is approximately 3,500 feet wide at that point. The bridge crosses it practically at right angles, and near the north end it branches with two curves to connect with the main line of the Spokane, Portland, and Seattle Railroad. Leaving the North Bank Road, the bridge rises at the rate of 25 feet to the mile, across the river and near the south shore it crosses over the Celilo Canal, which now is under construction. The bridge is single-track structure, built entirely of steel, resting on a sub-structure consisting of piers and abutments built of concrete and granite.

January 12, 1922 – 100 Years Ago A government engineer reported he was unfavorable to the idea of building a road along the Columbia River following the meanderings of the river when there is already a road on the south (Oregon) side.

January 26, 1922 – 100 Years Ago Six of the prisoners in the county lockup have had all the hair shaved off their heads, one or the other performing the operation on the other fellow. They look like a bushel basket of peeled onions.

January 25, 1940 – 82 Years Ago Following an accepted trend in educational technique, the Goldendale school system this month installed a 16-millimeter sound projector. This machine is now being used in classroom work throughout the school system. The sound projector is similar to those used in most of the larger school systems in the United States. For the present calendar year, 40 films, rented from the Oregon State College Library and approved by school authorities, are scheduled by the Goldendale system.

January 13, 1962 – 60 Years Ago Seven of the first eight piers for the Biggs Rapids bridge have been completed.

January 22, 1953 – 69 Years Ago New Town of Murdock Booms – Until recently Murdock was a cow pasture. Now it is Klickitat County’s latest subdivision. Laid out into lots and just west of Smithville, Murdock is marked by the Dalles Dam for fast growth. Alvin C Alvin of Umatilla this week purchased six Murdock lots on which he plans a modern housing development. Sale of lots was made through Frank Johnson of Larsen’s Agency, White Salmon.

January 18, 2012 – 10 Years Ago Eighty-seven-year-old Lela Ward of Glenwood has retired as treasurer of the Glenwood Grange after 51 years of dedicated service. Lela joined the grange in 1955 and was selected as treasurer in 1960. She may hold a state or national Grange record for the longest service in the same office.

Points to ponder: UFOs are real. The Air Force doesn’t exist.

Ladies and gentlemen, if I could have your attention for a minute... I’d be a better public speaker.

At the age of 35, people start losing 7,000 brain cells a day.

That number is tripled if they’re on Facebook.

Some politicians can’t see the forest or the trees.

People need to stop holding secret meetings about my paranoia.

There was little mystery in last week’s Attic Mystery Picture. Rusty McEwen had everyone in identified before Mark Doubravsky even picked up his paper Wednesday morning. Betty Zesiger stopped by Wednesday afternoon, Pam Gray Reed sent us an email, and Friday afternoon we met Travis Gray. Everyone agreed on the names of the pictured and thought it could be the Goldendale City Council.

We cross-referenced dates of service on the Council and figured out the picture was between 1960 and 1972, a very wide range to search through. Then, with a flash of brilliance, we noted the calendar on the back wall of the original picture!

Assuming, of course, that someone changed the calendar regularly, we believe this to be June of 1962, even though we were unable find the original picture as it ran in The Sentinel.

Back row, left to right: Dean Gillenwaters, Johnny McClanathan, Harold Gray, and John Tol. Front row: Lucille Schultz, George Nesbitt, Mark Besst, and Bob Powell.

A bit about this group of people: Dean Gillenwaters owned Gillenwaters Hardware store; he was elected in 1962. Johnny McClanathan owned Johnny’s Plumbing Service; elected

in 1960. Harold Gray was a Carnation Milk representative for 25 years and spent 14 years on the Goldendale City Council; first elected in 1960. John Tol owned Tol Station and Restaurant and built the Golden Lanes Bowling alley; he was an incumbent in 1960. Lucille Schultz was the City Clerk. George Nesbitt was the mayor of Goldendale for 17 years, from 1952 to 1969, and built the Barchris Motel. Mark Besst worked for the PUD and served as the mayor pro tem; elected in 1960. Bob Powell owned Powell’s Rubber OK Tire Store and Alignment Shop.

He also owned Sears and the carwash by the Goldendale Market Fresh store. He was elected in 1962.

Did you know? The February 4, 1960, edition of The Goldendale Sentinel noted, “Listed for the position of councilmen are 18 candidates from whom will ultimately be chosen six.” The 18 candidates were Mark E. Besst, Fern E. Bruner, Sterling Dickey, Ed Doubravsky, Al Graham, Harold Gray, Freeman R. Grow, R. P. Jecroux, George E. Miller, Don A. McCardell, Johnny McClanathan, H. G. Rowley, Bernard Shelper, Glenn O. Stevens, Mary F. Thomas, John Tol, Ted Wagner, and Kenton E. Yoder.

Points to ponder: This next song is called “Subtraction.” Take it away!

I am super lazy. It’s like regular lazy, but I wear a cape.

When I had laryngitis, I was a hoarse whisperer.

A German shepherd runs across my lawn every morning. Today he even brought his dog.

We have enough youth. How about a Fountain of Smart?

You can now buy a refrigerator with WiFi. Like my cheese needs to be watching YouTube videos all day.

Keep calm. Nobody else knows what they’re doing either.

OBITUARIES

Gayle Y. Berg May 8, 1945 to January 15, 2022.

In the early morning hours, Mrs. Gayle Berg of Walla Walla peacefully closed her eyes to this earth and opened them in heaven, her loving husband of 60 years, George Berg, at her side.

Born in Goldendale Washington to Thomas and Claradehl Roberts, Gayle married George Berg, who had been drafted into military service. After medical training in Texas, she moved with George to Germany and fi nished her senior year of high school through correspondence courses. During her hus-

band’s three years of service, Gayle and George visited Italy, France, Austria, Switzerland, and Holland before returning to Washington State.

Active in both t he A s s embly and the Nazarene Churches, Gayle served as a leader and teacher in children’s ministries, known as the children’s church director for decades, while her husband worked as a firefighter for the City of Walla Walla. Countless children learned the Books of the Bible song in her classes. Gayle also taught

adult and high school Sunday classes, along with serving as a wedding coordinator and in music ministries.

With her service in the church, Gayle and George shared their home as foster parents with over 30 children for 15 years. As a 4-H leader, she kept ever yone busy with projects in sewing, cooking, gardening, and with a menagerie of animals. She enjoyed quilting and shared her time and talent with The Fort Walla Walla Quilters’ guild in her later years.

BILL from page A1 Gayle is survived by her loving husband, George Berg; five children, Kayla Strauser (Mike), Kari Rimbey (Steve), Allen Berg, Javin Berg (Laura), and Teresa Pettyjohn (Howard); eleven grandchildren and nineteen great-grandchildren; Gayle’s three siblings, Marvin Roberts, Tom Roberts (Cathy), and Rodehl Schilling (Mark); along with numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents and grandson, Ethan Strauser.

The family plans a private memorial service in the spring.

bill to show that this state’s Legislature will no longer tolerate this behavior.

“If we don’t stand up for them, we run the risk of not standing up for the democracy in this state, and we may go down a road that we will soon regret,” Frockt said.

Frockt’s bill proposes new protections for all election officials. Any official employed by the Secretary of State or a county auditor’s office will have an

added layer of protection from harassment. The bill elevates the crime of harassment to a class C felony.

If SB 5148 becomes law, any harassment directed at elected officials would be punishable by up to five years in jail and/or a fine of up to $10,000.

Janiece Lancaster In a small town in Benton County, Michigan, on February 13, 1944, a girl child was born to Rossi and Alberta Westfall. Her given name was Janiece, born the third child of five. Rossi was a professional painter; this allowed him to work anywhere. Janiece moved to many new states with her family including Michigan, Missouri, California, and Oregon.

While attending high school in Klamath Falls, Oregon, Janiece met her

rascal husband, Donald Eugene Lancaster. They celebrated marriage in January 1961. She, along with Don, continued to move to and explore states across the USA, including Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and North Carolina, but held onto the Pacific Northwest as home. Upon Don’s retirement in 2004, they chose Goldendale to be their new home.

PAMPHLET

Omicron COVID-19 variant identified in Klickitat County The Klickitat County Health Department (KCHD) was notified last Tuesday that the COVID-19 Omicron variant has been identified in Klickitat County. The Omicron variant is recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Washington State Department of Health as a concerning variant because of its potential increase in transmission.

Based on current information found on the CDC’s variant information website: • The Omicron variant is

likely to spread easier than the original virus. However, it is unclear at this time if it is more easily spread than the Delta variant.

• Breakthrough infections in people who are fully vaccinated are expected, but vaccines are effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations, and death.

• Anyone who contracts the Omicron variant can spread the virus to others even if they are vaccinated or not having any symptoms.

• The recent emergence

The Washington Outdoors Report: Operation Catching Freedom

TAYLER BRADLEY

SPORTS EDITOR This week the Timberwolves only got to play one game. Friday’s game against Kittitas was canceled due to Covid.

Saturday’s game was a go, though, and the boys fought it out on their home court against Cle Elum. This was going to be a tough one as the boys had lost to them at their fi rst meeting on the court.

The boys stuck close with Cle Elum through the first two quarters. Tyler Wells hit some good shots in the first quarter deep inside the key. Caleb Smith, Sam Wilder, and Wade Bomberger all contributed points in quarter number one.

Quarter number two both teams were playing strong defense and keeping the baskets to a minimum. This time Caleb Smith made some big shots deep in the key. At the end of the half the Timberwolves were behind by three points.

The second half kicked off with a bang, and the Wolves continued their roll to find that win. Caleb Smith had a great third quarter with 9 points.

Heading into the fourth quarter, the Wolves were down and running out of gas. Cle Elum continued to

OPERATION CATCHING FREEDOM

GOOD CATCH: Army veteran Josh Scott had a great time at last year’s Operation Salmon event.

JOHN KRUSE

FOR THE SENTINEL A new organization dedicated to getting veterans, active-duty service members, and fi rst responders outdoors to go fishing is growing fast in Central Washington. The organization, which will soon be a non-profit, is Operation Catching Freedom. I got a chance this week to talk to the founder, Tony Warren, to fi nd out more.

Tony told me he’s a combat veteran who served in the United States Marine Corps and has always found that spending time outdoors “is a great way to clear my head.” In 2018 he came up with the idea of taking veterans out for a day of bass fi shing and approached the Central Washington Bass Club and MarDon Resort on Potholes Reservoir. That fi rst event took place in the spring of 2019, was a success, and Operation Catching Freedom was born.

Last year another Operation Bass event was held at Potholes Reservoir the second Saturday of May, and 20 veterans were paired with 20 bass boat owners for a day on the water, followed by a barbecue at MarDon Resort and a goodie bag full of fi shing tackle for each angler to take home.

2021 also saw Operation Salmon take place on the Columbia River near Chelan Falls. Twenty-six

veterans hopped on boats for a morning of salmon fishing and enjoyed a nice meal at Chelan Falls PUD Park to wrap up the event.

Several Central Washington f ishing guides have donated their boats, time, and talent to help out. This includes Austin Moser (Austin’s Northwest Adventures LLC), Brad Wagner (Bobber Down Guide Service), Kurt Middleton (Middy’s Guide Service), Levi Rodelo (Ross Outdoor Adventures) and Caine Brand (Heavy Hitter Guide Service). These guides have unselfishly helped out during events and/or by taking anglers on special fishing trips they win through free raffles put on by the group.

This year Warren is ex pa nd i n g O p er at ion Catching F reedom to include Operation Walleye.

This event will occur the last Saturday in September and Ground Zero will be the Coulee Playland Resort at Banks Lake. However, anglers are not limited to just fi shing for walleye in Banks Lake. They can also target walleye at nearby Rufus Woods Reservoir or Lake Roosevelt.

In addition to this, fi rst responders (law enforcement, fi re, and emergency medical service members) are now invited to come on board for a day of fi shing.

It does not cost anything to participate in these events and fishing gear as well as bait is provided. All that’s

SENIOR CITIZEN DI$COUNT The City of Goldendale will be accepting applications for low income senior citizen water/sewer discounts from February 1st through April 15th. If you received this discount during the last year, your application needs to be renewed.

If you feel you qualify for this discount, please contact:

required from the angler is weather appropriate clothing, snacks, drinks, and a valid Washington State fishing license. A barbecue meal follows each day of fishing which is donated by local restaurants or caterers.

This year’s event dates and locations are: OPERATION BASS May 7th 20 anglers MarDon Resort OPERATION SALMON July 9th 30 anglers Chelan Falls PUD Park OPERATION WALLEYE September 24th 30 anglers Coulee Playland Resort Vetera ns a nd f i rst responders who live in Central or Eastern Washington can sign up for each event at www.operationcatchingfreedom.org two months prior to each event.

There will be a drawing to determine which anglers get to fi sh and the lucky winners will be notified two weeks prior to the event. While the event itself is free, transportation to and lodging at the event site is the responsibility of each participant.

If you are interested in helping out this fledgling organization, Warren has two requests. First, he needs some experienced walleye and salmon anglers with boats who are familiar with the waters that will be fi shed during each event. Second, Warren is looking for tackle, whether it be from companies or enthusiasts making them out of their shop.

Warren plans on giving the fishing tackle to the veterans and first responders as part of a gift bag during each event.

If you don’t fall into either of these volunteer categories, you can also donate or help sponsor an event. You’ll fi nd a link at the Operation Catching Freedom website to do so.

You can also contact Tony Warren through the Operation Catching Freedom Facebook Page and chat with him there.

Winter Sports 2022 Welcome to The Goldendale Sentinel’s 2022 Winter Sports section.

The last time we did this section was in 2018. At that time, it was done with the now-defunct White Salmon Enterprise; they featured the teams from that area, and The Sentinel focused on its side of the county. Now, with increasing coverage and distribution of The Sentinel on the west side of the county—and with a regular sports editor again at the helm—we’ve renewed the publication.

Every story in this section was written by one person, our Sports Editor Tayler

Bradley. Tayler has done an exceptional job rounding up sports analyses from schools around the county. (You’ll note the reports on Bickleton are split, with one in the beginning of this section and one near the end; that’s because one report arrived late in the production process. Also note the Trout Lake schedule is omitted because we obtained it too close to production time.)

All pictures in this section are courtesy of John Longfellow.

Here’s to the kids, coaches, parents, and supporters at all the schools!

Lady Bickleton Boys Wolves Basketball stays resilient this winter off to The Bickleton Pirates have had a rough start to their season. They haven’t been able to find the communication or team work on the court that they need to come together and win games. When you’re up against some tough teams and haven’t felt that feeling of winning, it can be hard to dig deep and have confidence. But that is exactly what they need to do as they work through the rest of their schedule.

The first two games they played were non-league and gave them the chance to work through the kinks, and though they lost both, the boys really showed some potential. As they headed into league play, they faced some pretty

strong start

tough opponents and just weren’t able to overcome them. The Pirates had winter break and some time to relax, practice and find the confidence they will need to finish out their season.

Good luck, Pirates! We have high hopes for the rest of your season.

See Bickleton Market Street ad page B3.

We Support Klickitat County High School Sports

The lady Timberwolves have been off to a good start, playing amazing defense and working together gracefully to bring home those wins. Coach Konrad is very pleased with how well the girls are doing and all the hard work they are putting in.

The girls are currently 6-3. Their wins have been strong, leaving their opponents under 30 points a game, some even under 20. Their losses are not what they wanted, but they never gave up the fight and it always came down to the wire. Konrad is very pleased with the ladies’ defense; they have played tough every game and know they can keep it up and put even more pressure on their opponents.

They will continue to work on their adapted 2-3 defense and make it as solid as they can. They will keep working on skills at practice, two of the most important ones are rebounding and free throws. Blocking out and taking advantage of free shots are important.

Some of their best wins

included their first home game, against Wahluke with the final score 50-17, and an away game against Riverview with a final score of 56-18. There is not one girl that carries the team; Konrad says, “Each and every one of these girls is key in their own way to helping us accomplish our goals. They each have a different role that they play, and we need each and every one of them to be the best they can be so we can be successful.” Gwen Gilliam and Payton Sheridan are leading the team scoring, Taylor Beam and Jewlia Siglin are huge on defense, and Grace Bland, Makenzie Dahl, and Brook Blain have been hitting the boards getting the team multiple chances at scoring. Adding Sarah Hiebert into the mix, there will be no stopping these girls. They all have their strengths, and when you put them all together, it’s

magic on the floor.

Covid may be an issue for some other teams but really hasn’t affected the team at all. They have had one game canceled due to their opponent having Covid, but other than that the girls and coaches have stayed healthy and able to keep practicing and building relationships. They have done a few team dinners and plan on doing more. These dinners allow the girls to come together, build memories, and have some laughs. These relationships allow the girls to build trust on the court, which is important to the team on the court.

After a long winter’s break and some crazy weather, the girls were able to get back onto the court and host their first home game in about a month. It was tough, and the girls were a tough rusty. Though this one didn’t end the way they wanted it to, it never

dulled their confidence.

That’s useful for the big lineup of home games they have ahead of them. These girls are fighting hard to finish season strong and reach their goals of playing in the district and hopefully the state tournament.

Coach Bomberger is very proud of all the gains each of the girls has made and can’t wait to see what else they will accomplish this year. No matter what happens, the coach remains supportive and strives to help them get better.

Be sure to come out and support the Lady Timberwolves as they continue their season.

So proud of our Klickitat County Athletes!

GHS Boys Basketball Mid-Winter As we hit the middle of the season, the Timberwolves have had a good start and these boys are ready to continue with league play, taking on each and every opponent one game at a time. They are currently 2-2 in league with a great line up of three consecutive home games on the schedule.

The team started off really great, with some big wins in non-league play against White Salmon and Kiona Benton. They were on fire and not looking to slow down. They met a couple of teams that had just a tad bit bigger flame and were able to overtake the Wolves right before winter break.

These boys aren’t quitters, though, and they spent lots of time in the gym working hard to make adjustments and improvements on their game. And it worked—in the first two games back, they brought home wins over Granger and High-

land. They’re putting a big emphasis on is defense. It is extremely important in every single game and something the boys can always improve on. One of their team goals is to hold their opponents to under 50 points each and every game. They are super capable of this, especially when they stay positive and keep communication open on the court.

Even though there is always room for improvement with any team, one thing these boys do really well is share the ball and credit with the entire team.

Coach Stelljes really is proud of his team and how, “Unselfish they are on the court. They all work really hard together for the team’s success. We pride ourselves on having a lot of assists.”

And it really shows. These boys pass the ball and get every person on the floor involved, which has been a great help in some tough

games. As well, this team really stays positive no matter what is happening on the court. They push through till the end, giving every ounce of energy they have to the team and the game.

In each one of these games, there really isn’t one player that has carried the team. Game after game each player has stepped up to make great plays and help the team in their own way. Each Timberwolf adds his specific strength to make up one cohesive team that works hard together and puts points on the board. Coach Stelljes has done a great job of building a team bond that creates outstanding teamwork. He has had alumni basketball players and other guest speakers come in, team dinners, pick-up games over break, and a basketball movie night.

The coach doesn’t want the boys to get too far ahead

of themselves, so he makes sure to, “Focus on the game ahead of them and take them one at a time.” Each opponent is different, and they need to focus on what they need for each team.

This is also important because Covid always has the possibility of affecting the schedule. As far the Tim-

berwolves, though, it hasn’t seemed to hit them much.

They had a home game canceled due to the other team having Covid absences, and there is always illness uncertainty. All the boys are working to stay healthy.

There are still a lot of games left to play, and the boys are ready for each

and every match up. Coach Stelljes is very proud of his team and all that they have accomplished so far. “I love this group of boys; they are a real joy to coach,” he says.

We love watching the Timberwolves play. Head on over to the school and cheer them on!

GHS Wrestling Mid-Winter Goldendale Wrestling has been off to a good start but a tad bit slow. Some of their wrestlers have been out for injuries that needed to be completely healed before they could compete. Coach Williams has done a great job building basics, providing as many opportunities as he can to practice and always providing support and positivity no matter the outcome.

Every wrestler on the team has worked very hard to practice. Coach Williams wants them to work on their very best moves and different situations. This way it becomes muscle memory, and when they are on those mats in tough spots, they can make fast choices with big intentions. Drilling the same move over and over again can be hard to keep focus, but everything Coach Williams does at practice is for a good reason. “It takes a lot of commitment to be a successful wrestler, and we are at a turning point in our season where it’s harder to keep focus and remember you have to keep drilling the same things you’ve been drilling for the past two month,” he says. All of these drills will help the young team they do have, grow, and be successful in the years to come. It will also help the more experienced wrestlers to stay sharp and keep their technique at the top of their game.

Wrestling is an individual and team sport all in one.

They wrestle individually but they earn team points as well. Each and every wrestler has contributed to their success and is always encouraging. They have lost some wrestlers due to injury and won’t be able to fill as many weight classes, but they are still strong together. Coach Williams has done a great job finding ways to have the team bond

together and build that strong team bond. At the beginning of the season, they held a barbecue and a bonfire, and this winter they also had an ugly sweater dodgeball tournament and Christmas Party. On overnight away games they get to spend extra time together and create even more memories. This team has learned a lot about one another and is very supportive of each other no matter what.

Covid has been affecting the wrestlers, but not because the athletes are getting it. There have been a few tournaments that have been canceled due to Covid restrictions. It can make it really hard on the team with all the uncertainty of whether or not they will get to compete, but they will keep pushing forward and preparing for their chance on the mats. So far, the team has done well at the tournaments where they have been able to compete.

Senior Bryce Waddell is leading the team with an 11

and 3 record, facing some of the very top competitors in the state. He placed 3rd at the Best of the West tournament, 3rd at the Toppenish tournament and 1st at Warden. Kali Watson leads the girls with a 9 and 3 record and 8 pins. She has placed 2nd at the Granger and Toppenish tournaments, 3rd at the Best of the West tournament and 3rd in Kelso.

Madison Hinderliter has an 8 and 3 record with 7 pins.

She placed 1st at the Best of the West, 3rd in Granger, 4th in Toppenish and 4th in Kelso. Jordan Hinderliter placed 5th in Granger, 2nd in Toppenish and 4th in Kelso. She has a record of 5 and 2 with 4 pins. Ivan Erland has a record of 5 and 5 and placed 6th at the Best of the West.

He has placed 8th at the Best of the West. Emily Cazares has 3 pins with a 6 and 4 record. She has placed 4th in Granger, 1st in Toppen

Klickwood Girls Basketball Mid-Winter

GHS Cheer MidWinter “Purple Power!” That’s one of the crowd’s favorite cheers to hype up during any basketball game. The cheerleaders who lead it are the team’s biggest fans and are at each and every single game no matter what, providing support to their friends and classmates.

With all that has happened during this season—weather, games being cancelled, Covid— Cheer Coach Kristen says, “Keeping spirits high is a challenge, and that’s a challenge this squad has stepped up to the plate and took on.” This squad makes sure that their teams are pumped and in great spirits so they can play hard and win games.

Just like all the other teams, GHS cheer has also had their own setbacks this winter. First off, they don’t have a big team, which means if any aren’t able to cheer, the team gets even smaller, and it can be a challenge to get the crowd involved.

They are strong personalities, though, and do their

Our Goldendale Wrestling Wolves have started their season off well, and we can’t wait to see what else they will accomplish.

Coach Williams says, “We

very best to keep everyone cheering. They also have had some injuries and others who weren’t able to make games, but they continue to overcome each and every obstacle that has come their way. Coach Kristen is proud of “their commitment and dedication. It is so inspirational.”

A crowd favorite, a tradition in Goldendale, and a fundraiser for the cheer team, is the halftime pop shot. Anyone can pay $1 to shoot a free throw or three-pointer to win a two-liter soda. It is always fun to see all the kids run to the court and get so excited when they make a shot. Another fundraiser the team is doing is selling Timberwolf decals for $2 apiece. They are grateful for all the support from the community, but they are also very supportive as well. Over winter break,

Cheering on our Winning Wolves

the cheer team went into the school and cooked dozens of cookies in the food science room for the basketball and wrestling teams. They wanted to make sure to let them know that they appreciate them and are proud to cheer them on.

This squad has experience cheering for the basketball teams, but they are new to the sport of wrestling. They work double duty and also cheer for the GHS wrestlers. They are having a lot of fun learning the rules and learning the new cheers to be supportive for them as well.

If you happen to be out cheering on the basketball teams one night, be sure to do it loud and proud along with the cheer squad, as they might just happen to pick you for their Timberwolf Fan of the Night. This something new they have added to home games and has been a real crowd pleaser. We are glad to have such awesome supporters of Goldendale sports, and this cheer team is always thankful to have a crowd that participates with them. Go Wolves!

Pass, shoot, score. Three things that this Glenwood/ Klickitat girls’ basketball team, coached by Adam McFall, has done very well at so far this season. They are just getting into league play, and they have some great match ups to come as they continue to work hard and build their skills on the court.

The Vandals have been moved to a new league, they are part of the “Big Sky” league this year, so they are facing new opponents which brings opportunities for adversity and flexibility. They are doing a great job of it and striving to work together on the court. They have had some tough loses to Bickleton and Four Rivers, both games that came down to the wire; the girls put themselves into position but just weren’t able to make the shot. These few loses never even touched their confidence, though, as they continued to push forward and think of the games ahead of them.

When league play began, they had a huge win over Hood River 35-17. The girls are remaining in high spirits, as they know there are still lots of games left to

play this season.

They don’t have a standout player—this is a group of girls who bring together their own strengths to form a cohesive team. Alise Gimlin is the leading scorer and rebounder so far this season, and her teammate Allison McFall is close behind her. Joslyn Arnold is the point guard and has done a fabulous job running the plays and making calls in some tough situations. Their defensive help is Jayla Avila and Lena Thiemann. These two work dynamically as they shut down the opponent’s offense. These girls really do a great job “playing their own role in the team’s success,” says Coach Adam. He is very happy with where they are and how hard they continue to work to get better together.

Fortunately for them, Covid has not affected the team at all, which is great for their big line up of games ahead of them.

They will have about three games a week from here on out, seeing new opponents and learning their habits and plays and a feel for what changes they will need to make. They are a

young team that doesn’t have a lot of game time together, but they continue to build chemistry and learn to play at a varsity level. “However, this group of girls has been adapting to one another and working hard every day throughout the season to be better,” says Coach Adam.

Getting to watch these the Lady Vandals in action is a joy and one that shouldn’t be missed. If you are in the area, be sure to catch one of their games and cheer these young ladies on and support their commitment to their team and schools.

GOLDENDALE, WASHINGTON

Klickwood Boys Basketball Mid-Winter This year’s basketball season has not got off to the start they were hoping for, though bad weather and Covid have not affected the team’s game schedule. They are led by coach Phillip Watlamet, who knows there

is more in these boys; he is just trying to find a way to bring it out of them.

The first game of the season the boys had a huge confidence win over Bickleton in a non-league game, final score 53-40. They then

traveled to the Arlington Snowball tournament where they had a couple of tough non-league loses to Ione/Arlington and Four Rivers.

Since then, they have just not been able to find

a groove and have been up against some great teams.

Hopefully these boys can stay healthy, continue to work hard, and find the fire they need to turn their season around.

We are all wishing these

boys the best of luck as they enter the second half of their season.

Lyle/Wishram Girls Basketball Mid-Winter The Lyle/Wishram girls have had such a fun season and have learned a lot.

Head Coach Laura has had a lot of fun coaching these girls through this season.

These girls have had some obstacles to overcome but have really left it all out on the court.

The Cougars only have six girls on the team, which can be trying at times because they play almost the entire game without any breathers. But these girls are tough and strong with zero quit. All six put their whole hearts into each and every game. With all of this playing time, each girl has gained so much experience from every second on the

court. They have girls who haven’t played in a few years and one who has never played at all. They are learning something new every day. They are able to develop all of their skills.

Teamwork is one of the most important things and something that these girls really need to continue to work on. Sometimes they have trouble finding each other on the court, and this can cause lack of communication. But Laura says, “Once these young ladies find their rhythm as a team, we will see great things happen on and off the court.” The Lady Cougars are taking each and every learning experience to

find places where they can improve and working hard during practice to find that rhythm and flow they need on the court. These ladies are also working intently on is court awareness.

Knowing where the ball is and where their teammates are supposed be when running plays is very important during games.

The Lady Cougars are learning lots and working on all these skills, but one thing they have done outstanding all season is staying positive through all experiences. Even when things don’t go as planned or they are having to dig deep during tough games, they are still able to see

good things. Every opportunity is a time to learn, and they are taking advantage of every single one.

The Cougars have had some bumps in the road due to Covid. With such a small team, if one gets sick all the others are affected. Which has been a problem for them. One of the girls happened to test positive right before break, causing both the girls and boys to not hold practices until December 28. Covid has also affected their game schedule.

Many have been cancelled because of the restrictions or one team not being able to play. Covid hasn’t been the only culprit for causing the girls to not be able to get

into the gym. Weather has also played a huge role in cancelled practices. Luckily the weather has subsided and the girls are healthy, so they have been able to get back at it and practice for their games ahead.

There have been some ups and downs for the Lady Cougars, but Laura says, “These girls have learned that working as a team produces results.” They all have had improvements individually and team-wise, but they all will continue to work hard and finish the season strong. Good luck, ladies, and let’s all be sure to head on out and support the team!

Lyle/Wishram Boys Basketball Mid-Winter The Lyle Wishram boys’ basketball team has had a rocky start, just like some other teams in Klickitat County. These bumps are not going to slow them down though as they have left them in the past and are looking forward to the rest of their season. Head Coach Cody Magill is working hard to get his boys in the gym so they can practice and have a great chance to

finish their season strong.

Covid and the crazy weather we’ve had have created some major setbacks. Covid left the team out of the gym for several weeks and games have been cancelled because of it. These boys, just like all others, are doing their very best to stay healthy so they can play some ball. Snow, rain, and ice were also a huge problem coming back

from winter break. They had to cancel games yet again. These boys haven’t played a game in about a month or so. The Cougars aren’t letting it affect them, though; they are keeping their heads held high and looking at the positives that they can find.

When this team does get time on the courts, they are really working on teamwork and relationships

Knock Their Socks Off,

Timberwolves!

with each other, two things that are very important for any team sport. This team is made up of two schools, and because of that some of these boys haven’t played together for as long. The ones who live in the same town have great relationships, and the challenge is closing the gap with each one. Coach Cody has the older boys pair with younger boys in scrimmag-

es and drills to help bridge that gap and build as much trust and teamwork as possible. “I expect everyone to support and encourage all teammates all the time,” he says.

The Cougars started off with a bang and a big win over the Bickleton Pirates.

Unfortunately, they just haven’t quite found that same groove since then. These boys are doing a great job,

though, for only getting to play four games since the start of the season.

With hopes of consistency and the basketball schedule to be put back to normal, the Cougars are pushing forward. Hard work, dedication, and positivity are going to help them be where they want to be at the end of the season.

Good luck, boys!

The White Salmon boys’ team has not had the start to the season they had hoped for. They are continuing to push forward though and not lose hope as they head into the next half of their season.

Led by head coach Evan Wiley, the Bruins look to finish their season strong.

The Bruins have had some tough loses so far this season. They just haven’t been able to find that rhythm on the court together that they have needed to win games.

But there seemed to be a fire in them during their last game against Hood River.

They fought as hard as they could to the very last second and showed real promise for the games ahead of them.

Their schedule may change, as Covid has already forced some cancelations, and they are hopeful to not have to cancel any more this year.

These boys have been putting in the hours on the courts and working hard to make changes or improvements as needed.

One key focus is keeping possession of the ball and passing it so they can turn it into points on the board.

If they can find that sweet spot and really get a good flow going, they have the capability to be fantastic offensively. They have had some flashes of this greatness now; they just need to get and hold it continuously. As they work on getting their offense where they want it, their defense is something they have a good handle on.

Even in a loss, the defense has kept their opponents from running away with the game. They have had several games where they had a chance, but some fouls forced free throws and their opponents took advantage.

These boys are bringing their individual talents to create one team that “has the ability to surprise a lot of people and shake things up,” says Coach Evan. Each and every one of them plays a specific and important role in their game. Jace Greenwood is their hustle guy, who really turns up the intensity when needed. Dylan Connely is their lights-out shooter.

Carson Lanz can really push himself around down low and get the rim as good as anyone. Spencer Karlson is very explosive and gets the rebound and a second opportunity to get points a majority of the time. And of course, their jack of all trades is Ben Allen. He is comfortable handling the ball, shooting, and can really jump. Altogether they create a team that can do some work when they find their groove.

The Bruins’ goal for the season is to make it to playoffs and show others what they can really do on the court. Coach Evan really believes in them and knows they have that talent inside of them. “Although the first half of the year has not gone the way we expected, we are gelling at the right time, and we are ready to surprise some teams in our league,” he says. With a healthy team of boys, this goal is in their sights. They need to keep their confidence, determination, and intensity as they go further into the season.

These boys have a lot of talent and are a great group.

As Coach Evan says, “It’s a gotta-wanna attitude.” You have got to want it to get it.

We look forward to seeing what more they accomplish.

Trout Lake Girls Basketball Mid-Winter White Salmon The Trout Lake Mustangs girls basketball team has had a great season so far. Each girl has given her all on the court, and it shows. Their first four games the girls brought

home four wins in a row.

The Mustangs won the first game, which was against Condon, 39-20. Their second win was over Open Door Christian, and the final score was 61-22. They

won their third non-league and their first league game against Dufur, final score 49-19. Then they had a few games that were cancelled and a winter break.

These girls came back and were playing well; they just came up short against a couple of teams. One being Ione Arlington where it came down to the very last minute, and the Mustangs lost by one point.

They never it faze them,

though, as they went into their next game heads held high and full of confidence.

They were able to look past those couple of loses and turn it back around with a win over Spray/Mitchell/ Wheeler.

The Lady Mustangs are on a roll this season, and it doesn’t look like they are backing off. We hope to see them in the playoffs next month. Good luck, girls. Go Mustangs!

The Bickleton Pirates have not had a girls basketball team in a few years, so this year is exciting for them–they had enough girls come out to play.

Many of the girls on the team have never played basketball before, so the start they’ve had is great, considering their experience level. Led by coach Shania Shattuck, these girls are ready to rock the rest of their season.

This team has made huge leaps and bounds as they continue to improve on the court. They are currently working on taking the open shot when they have one. They have the tendency to only think about running a play from start to finish and not looking for the basket when they are open. Coach Shania has implemented drills to help the girls learn to catch and shoot the ball. One of their strongest skills is communication. Coach Shania gives credit to the volleyball coach for that.

Leading the team are team captains Abby Fitzgerald and Haylee Andrews. “They hold their teammates accountable during practice, but they also encourage them

Klickitat County Schools Have the Best Throws

during each and every game,” says Coach Shania.

Good leadership will help this team continue to grow and develop skills on the court. Each player on this team is important to reach the end of the season where the girls want to be.

Covid has unfortunately affected the team. The girls have been out of the gym for a few weeks now, due to Covid but also winter break and the winter weather. They had a positive Covid test, and they are hoping it is the only one. All of the girls have been taking precautions and making sure to stay as healthy as they can. They will have a big month full of games as they will play twice as many games over the next month or so as they have already played.

All of their hard work, dedication, and fighting shows as they play through the exhaustion.

“As a coach I took this position to be able to provide these girls with a chance to learn to love the game that I do,” says Coach Shania. She is proud of how hard the girls are working and all of the progress they have made. As the Lady Pirates finish out their season, we are wishing them the best of luck.

Girls Basketball Mid-Winter The Lady Bruins basketball season has not got off to the start they had in mind at all. They really have had to overcome a lot of obstacles and adversity in the first half of the season. Head coach Howard Kreps is hopeful that they can get it back on track and finish the season the way they want to.

Covid has been a huge game killer for these girls.

Some of the girls have tested positive, their opponents have tested positive, and it has caused them to cancel more games than they’ve wanted to. They are doing all they can to stay healthy so they can play the games on their schedule and practice as much as possible. The terrible weather that we got early January also caused some cancellations, which was not helpful to the girls coming back from winter break.

All of these obstacles have really made practice time hard to get together.

Whether it be them not being able to practice at all or girls being sick and having to sit out, things haven’t been easy. The girls haven’t had a chance to find that groove they need to get the job done at the few games they have got to play.

When they do get a chance to get into the gym, they are really working hard to find a rhythm with their shooting. It has been a struggle this year due to the lack of gym time but is something they took a lot of time the past summer to get better at. They are currently shooting 20% accuracy from the field and 39% from the line. With some more gym

time, they are sure to get a rhythm going and bring those percentages up. The girls are not the tallest of the bunch, but they have huge hearts. And it really shows when they play defense. They are quick and not afraid to get in there for those rebounds. The five starters—Chloe Clifford, Sydney Aman, Maggie Bryan, Ella Reed, and Teagan Blankenship—are pretty solid together and beginning to bond more.

That should lead the girls to the level of play that they want to be at.

Coach Howard says he wants his girls to “understand life is not easy, and you need to not get too high and not get too low. Always keep working hard.” They have had a lot of adversity to overcome so far, and they need to make sure they are not letting it affect them at all, just keep pushing forward and playing their game no matter what comes their way. He knows that he “has a great group of girls that will compete no matter what is thrown their way.”

With hopes of some consistency, the rest of the season be sure to come out and support the Lady Bruins as they begin the second half of their season.

h s u R Gold The year of 1848 was a very busy year around the world. Revolutionary wars spread across Europe. The starvation caused by the Irish Potato Famine made many people leave Europe for the United States. The MexicanAmerican war was ended by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo, and the U.S. gained a large amount of land including Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. All of those are important events, but one event that happened in 1848 may have changed the world more than anything else.

On January 24, 1848 James Marshall discovered gold at Sutter’s Mill.

James Marshall was a carpenter. He had been hired by John Sutter to build a sawmill. While building the mill Mr. Marshall kept seeing something shiny in the water. It was gold. As the story about gold being found spread, people began to dream of getting rich and moved to California in large numbers in 1849. These people became known as the 49ers. Not many people became rich from the gold rush. As a matter of fact both James Marshall and John Sutter had to work hard the rest of their lives.

Golden Retreivers

The news that gold was just laying on the ground to be found in California made people from all over the world want to go there. At the time there were no roads, no cars, no planes and no trains. If you wanted to get to California from anywhere you walked, rode in a wagon or sailed the oceans. No matter how you got there, the trip was hard and many people didn’t make it. Many of the ships that sailed into California were abandoned there or sold. Some were used as houses, hotels and other businesses. California grew so fast that it became a state just two years after the United States won ownership of it at the end of the Mexican-American war.

Not everyone became rich from the California Gold Rush, but some people became very wealthy and some became famous. Most of these people were not gold miners at all, but made money supplying things to prospectors.

Samuel Brannon owned a store in San Francisco and also the first newspaper.

He became the first millionaire in the state. Levi Strauss owned a store and he noticed that the miners needed work pants that were tough enough to last. If you own a pair of Levi’s look at the label and you will see a picture of a little miner with his pickaxe.
