HEADLINES & HISTORY SINCE 1879
Goldendale, Washington
End of an era

RETIRING, INCOMING: It was July 1, 1975, that Dr. James Ogden first began practice as an optometrist, dressed in his Navy uniform. Yesterday marked his last day of practice, and he ended it the same way he began–in his same Navy uniform. It’s hard to imagine Goldendale without Dr. Ogden practicing his trade in town. Next to him is new KVH optometrist Dr Kim Carr, relocating here from Olympia.
County: Dallesport water rates will go up
RODGER NICHOLS FOR THE SENTINEL
In some ways, the Klickitat County Commissioners’ July 2 session will be remembered for the things that didn’t happen. It was the first time in several months there was no new information on the county jail situation. That, in part, was expected because HR Director Robb Van Cleave said last week he wouldn’t have an update at this week’s session and possibly next week either.
A planned public meeting for preliminary approval of a site plan and recreation park permit for the controversial Under Canvas upscale camping facility was pulled from the agenda. Public Works Director Jeff Hunter told commissioners that the applicants have not yet shown they have a supply for the 5,000 gallons of water per day the camp would need. And an item on the consent agenda that would have enacted a moratorium on permits for battery energy storage systems due to concerns about the fire danger from lithium-ion batteries was also pulled. Commissioner Dan Christopher said it didn’t go far enough.
“That doesn’t address my worries that somebody goes into the recycled battery industry,” he said, “fills up warehouses full of recycled batteries somewhere, and then declares bankruptcy, leaving it to the county” to deal with. Staff will bring back an amended resolution at a later date.
One item that did receive a lot of attention was the question of the Dallesport wastewater treatment plant. The plant was constructed 20 years ago by the county, following the failure of a number of septic systems. It was purposely built larger than needed at the time to accommodate future growth, which did not take place. The county contracted with Klickitat PUD to manage the facility. The utility owns and operates wastewater plants in Glenwood, Klickitat, Lyle, and Wishram. Due to the age of the Dallesport plant, the main systems are at the end of their useful life and will have to be replaced at a cost of more than $6 million. In order to cover the costs of improvements, sewer rates in Dallesport will have to go up.
Some residents have argued that, in their opinion, Klickitat PUD hasn’t properly maintained or operated the facility and the utility should pay for the replacement systems. Alternatively, they say the utility’s liability insurance provider should bear the burden caused by the alleged negligence.
But Public Works Director Jeff Hunter said his experience contradicted such beliefs. He said his department has never had a problem with KPUD and that when the residents asked the Department of Ecology to investigate their perceived problems, DOE gave the PUD a clean bill of health. “In fact, they win awards,” he added.
That was a reference to last November, when Marcia Porter of the Washington State Department

Mayor Marla Keethler of White Salmon has been elected to the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) board of directors. The election was conducted by city leaders from across the state at the AWC Annual Conference in Vancouver, Washington, held from June 18-21, 2024. Mayor Keethler, who was first appointed to the AWC board in February, will represent cities and towns in Eastern Washington with populations below 5,000 people.
“Serving on the AWC Board is an opportunity to bring a voice from a unique location in the state and share the perspective of a small, rural city that is navigating many of the same challenges that our larger or more centrally
located Washington cities are dealing with,” said Keethler. “What I value most about being part of AWC is the opportunity to learn from examples in other communities and connect with other local leaders.”
The AWC board of directors is the association’s governing body. The board is comprised of 25 directors, 23 of whom are mayors or city council members from Washington cities or towns and two nonelected city officials who also serve as the president and past president of the Washington City/County Management Association.
“Mayor Keethler provides a strong voice advocating for the needs of White Salmon and all of our smaller cities and
towns on the AWC board,” said AWC CEO Deanna Dawson. “I look forward to working with her as we bring together the diverse perspectives of all 281 cities and towns in Washington. By working together, we can create strong cities, and a great state.”
Keethler is in her second term as mayor of White Salmon, having been first elected in 2019 and reelected in 2023. She previously served two years on the city council. Keethler serves on AWC’s Small City Advisory Committee and has earned AWC’s Advanced Certificate of Municipal Leadership. In addition, Keethler’s community involvement includes serving on the boards of the Washington Gorge Action Programs, West Klickitat Community
Housing, and the Klickitat County Public Economic Development Authority. Infrastructure funding is an area of particular interest to Keethler who served on the Hood River–White Salmon Bridge Replacement Bistate Working Group from 2020 to 2023 and now serves as commissioner on the newly established Hood River–White Salmon Bridge Authority. “This work has given me the opportunity to speak and connect regionally as well as nationally to elevate awareness for this local priority project,” said Keethler.
Keethler has worked successfully with White Salmon’s state legislative delegation to secure funding for the bridge and on city
policy priorities related to affordable housing and childcare access. More than 450 attendees representing over 130 cities and towns across Washington attended the AWC Annual Conference to learn about issues critical to the success of cities. The theme of this year’s conference was Livable, Loveable Cities, and keynote speaker Peter Kageyama shared his ideas on harnessing the passion people feel for the places they live to help build thriving communities. A highlight of the conference was a panel of distinguished leaders speaking to civic health and how cities are leading the way through divisive times. Sessions on infrastructure, emergency management, budgeting,
legal requirements, the fentanyl crisis, and a wide array of other important topics rounded out the conference agenda.
Founded in 1933, the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) is a nonprofit corporation that represents Washington’s 281 cities and towns. AWC’s mission is to build connections between Washington state’s diverse cities and towns, while providing their members with the support needed to thrive through delivery of data-driven education, nationally recognized pooling programs, and nonpartisan advocacy. Membership is voluntary; however, AWC consistently maintains 100 percent participation from Washington’s 281 cities and towns.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service announced an investment of over $2.88 million to fund five Good Neighbor Authority (GNA) projects in the Pacific Northwest for fiscal year 2024. This funding is part of a larger $12 million national investment in GNA projects for the same period. These projects aim to enhance watersheds, restore forest health, and reduce wildfire risks in Washington and Oregon. The funding, made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, allows the Forest Service to partner directly with state agencies through stateimplemented projects.
Pacific Northwest Region projects for fiscal year 2024 include:
Washington
• Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife: Received $200,000 to implement two aquatic organism passage projects on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.
• Washington Department of Natural Resources’ Forest Resiliency Division: Received $1 million to support forest restoration on federal lands, providing NEPA support, implementing commercial timber sales, conducting aquatic improvement projects, maintaining and decommissioning forest roads, and other restoration efforts.
Oregon
• Oregon Department of
Transportation: Received $485,000 to mitigate hazard trees along forest roads and state highways crossing Forest Service lands, improving access and safety.
• Oregon Department of Forestry’s Federal Forest Restoration Program: Received $1 million to support forest restoration on federal lands, providing NEPA planning, commercial timber sale implementation, and restoration services.
• Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife: Received $200,000 for priority fish passage projects, including the removal of the Pomeroy and Parrott Creek dams on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. “These projects are
important for forest health and resiliency,” said Jacque Buchanan, USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Regional Forester. “It’s also good forest management to leverage the capacity, resources, and expertise across federal, state, Tribal, and local agencies. Using the Good Neighbor Authority strengthens our collective efforts and also greatly benefits the local community.”
Established by Congress in 2014 and amended in 2018, the Good Neighbor Authority provides federal land managers with a tool for creating management agreements with local governments. Forest health projects are identified and implemented at the local level and managed by states, Tribes, and county agencies.

Answer to last week’s Mystery Picture
This week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture
Were there used book sales at the library back when this picture was taken? Or was there a bookstore in town back then? Or was this at school? (The title of
the manuscript the woman on the right is holding says, “Teacher’s Daily Record.”) When was this taken? Who can answer these questions? We can’t, so we need you to
step up. All we know is this picture ran in The Sentinel sometime, lost in the annals of yesteryear. If you know anything about it, please send us an email (info@gol-
dendalesentinel.com), or give us a call (509-773-3777), or drop in at the office—and remember, you’re welcome to come in and take a look at the original photograph.

July 18, 1889 – 135 Years Ago
The new First National Bank notes just received at the Goldendale National Bank will require the signatures of the President and Cashier about 2,400 times before they can be put into circulation. [In 1889 the government printing office provided every national bank with its own currency. Goldendale First National Bank – Goldendale Washington would have been inscribed on every bill.]
July 3, 1894 – 130 Years Ago
When companies B and C of the local militia were returning from their annual encampment, they were accused of depriving a poor fisherman of his salmon. “The naked gospel truth about the matter is this,” said Corporal Nelson. “You see, when night came on, we were given strict charges to allow nothing to come inside the lines. We were camped on the bank of the river, and the salmon were just running awfully that night, and some of them ran inside the lines, and, of course, we had to arrest them. By the sentence of a private court martial, they were condemned to be guillotined by the cook, and of course after that we could not let them spoil, so we ate them. You know yourself that our boys are too honorable to steal salmon.”
July 5. 1924 – 100 Years Ago
A fire that started in the dry pine needles and oak leaves in the City Park above the I.O.O. F cemetery last Sunday morning furnished some work, for Goldendale citizens, during the day in extinguishing the blaze. It broke out the first time during the morning and was put out at that time, it was thought. Later, it broke out again, this time destroying the speaker’s stand. A space was cleared off with shovels and hoes around the fire, which was thought to be effective in keeping it from spreading; but later in the afternoon, it broke out again and covered quite a large area before being extinguished. The old Fort Blockhouse was not burned, although the fire burned to within a few feet of it. Some campers spent the night there before the fire started.
July 1, 1954 – 70 Years Ago
Frank Wesley of Goodnoe Hills was awarded the contract for Goodnoe Mail hauling. The contract becomes effective July 1 and calls for transport of the mail from the Goodnoe RR Station to the Goodnoe Post office twice daily, and box delivery from Goodnoe Hills to Sundale on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This route is approximately seven miles long. Wesley will haul the mail in his personal passenger car. While not on mail duty, Frank will be in his photo studio here in Goldendale on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday afternoons.
July 1, 1954 – 70 Years Ago
The class of 1929 celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary at the Delmar Shattuck home with a potluck dinner on Saturday, June 12. This is the largest class to have graduated from Bickleton High School. All members, except for two, are sons or daughters of Bickleton pioneer families. Those who attended were Howard Coleman, Stanton Ganders, Evelyn Dudek, Delmar Shattuck, Orval Walling, George Miller, Gilbert Giles, William Stegman, Virgil Feezell, and Elmer Nelson. Unable to attend were Ione Sharpe, Raymond Naught, Maurice Gadeburg, Inez Allbritton, and George Rogers. Elmer Nelson and Orval Walling were the only two who started in the first grade. Their first-grade teacher was Mrs. Al Matsen.
July 1, 1954 – 70 Years Ago
The White Creek Grange will hold a picnic Sunday, July 4, at noon at the Gus Beeks corral at Rock Creek. All members and their families are invited. The previously scheduled hobo party was canceled after someone removed the electric meter box at the Grange Hall, leaving the building without electricity.

Points to ponder:
Marrying a woman for her good looks is like buying a house for its paint. I’d go to the gym more often, but it’s hard to find a parking space near the door. I fish, therefore I lie.
Ides of March little-known fact: after Brutus stabbed Caeser, he went on to become Popeye’s nemesis.
It might look like I’m doing nothing, but at the cellular level I’m really quite busy. A journey of a thousand miles begins with Dad saying, “I know a shortcut.” Carrier pigeons were the original form of text messages.
This picture has been colorized. Numerous people were able to identify the couple in last week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture as Bill and Bessie Hornibrook. There is no telling when this picture was taken or why, so that much is still a mystery. You may recognize the last name because the Hornibrooks were staples of the
Goldendale community for many years. Dr. Ogden said Bill was 102 when he passed away! If you search our website, goldendalesentinel. com, you will find numerous mentions in our Looking Back section. Did you know there is even a subdivision named after them over by the hospital? We had no idea the neighborhoods had such colorful names!

The story of the culvert kids on the border
I was in the Border Patrol for two years. I was a crane operator on the Fence Maintenance Crew in the San Ysidro Sector (from the Pacific Ocean to El Centro, California, 50 miles inland) on our southern border. The Port of Entry between San Ysidro and Tijuana is the busiest border crossing in the world. I saw many strange and shocking things, but there is one thing I’ll never forget.
Five large culverts were needed in a dry arroyo to drain flood water under the border fence into Mexico during rainstorms. This was in preparation for a 100year flood event, so the culverts were quite large: six feet in diameter.
One day after we shut down for lunch, we were sitting around the head of the culverts when four children popped out of one with their dog, whose name turned out to be Daisy. Surprised and shocked, we looked at the Border Patrol agent who was sitting in his vehicle about 100 yards away. We were always guarded by another agent—he was there to ensure we were safe, that no groups of immigrants tried to rush through, and to make sure no one was smuggling. He didn’t move. Didn’t even roll down his window, so we chatted with the kids as best we could in broken Spanish and shared our lunches with them.
The days went by, and the kids started coming through every time the machinery shut down, and our lunches got bigger and bigger. One day we heard a woman calling, and Charlie, who spoke a little Spanish, went to the fence and spoke to her. It was their mother looking for them. He told her they were over on our side, but it was OK, he would send them back through. It turned out that they lived in a shack down on the Mexican side of the arroyo. Their father had snuck through and worked in construction up in Temecula. He would come home whenever he could for a visit and then sneak back to work.
I was sitting in the crane one day and gazed down at the shacks in the arroyo and suddenly realized that if the flood we were preparing for ever came, their little shack and all the rest would be washed away. If those had been my kids, I would have done anything to give them a better life or died trying. I now know that as long as people can find jobs and work here, no wall or fence is going to stop them.
If we are ever to solve the immigration problem, we have to recognize that most immigrants are just poor people looking for a better life. It’s going to take a thoughtful, bipartisan solution that allows guest workers, paths to citizenship, and some asylum. We can’t save everyone, but many citizens of this great country are descended from immigrants, and we have room for a few more. In fact, we need them as part of the solution for the Social Security funding problem.
The Statue of Liberty is one of our nation’s iconic and revered symbols. These words by Emma Lazarus are inscribed at her feet:

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

dead. It began to die with the Tea Party in 2009 and was bludgeoned to death in 2016 when Donald J. Trump became POTUS.
William F. Buckley Jr. was both conservative and Libertarian. He is recognized as one of the most influential people in American conservative politics. He founded the National Review, which through 2008 was the standard-bearer of American conservatism.
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.”
Semi believes when you are elected to office, your job is to do the will of the people—not to become a bargaining chip for special interest, unions, and organizations that want to be state-subsidized by using state taxes.
“For No Reason At All” I particularly found offensive.
Semi has been endorsed by the Washington State Republican Party and in 25 counties. The choice is easy. Semi Bird wants to be the people’s governor, putting people first. The future of Washington is in the voters’ hands. We either keep watching the quality of life deteriorate or start fixing what is broken. Vote: birdforgovernor.com.

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.

Until 2009, the National Review excluded people, ideas, or groups unworthy of the conservative label. The Review denounced Ayn Rand, the John Birch Society, racists, white supremacists, and antiSemites. Conservatism was then a positive term connoting a reasoned, constructive counterpoint to liberalism—working together, America progressed toward establishing a more perfect union.
If elected, Trump’s agenda will be based on The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. Trump and Project 2025 implementers hide under the label “conservative,” but they are not conservatives—they are psychotic nutcases spreading fear and paranoia throughout America, often through completely fictional conspiracy theories. They are just small-minded devotees of a manchild dictator.
Their goal is to undermine our democracy and devolve it from a more perfect union to an unregulated predatory corporatocracy (profit regardless of consequences), with theocratic (racist Christian nationalism) and oligarchic (billionaire class) oversight. This means you and I will vote in farce elections like in Russia or North Korea. We will lose basic protections under the law, such as clean
Guidelines for Letters
If William F. Buckley were still alive, he’d be at least calling them anti-Americans, racists, white supremacists, and anti-Semites. He’d probably encourage voting for Democrats (as is Liz Cheney, George Conway, The Lincoln Project members, along with many other legitimate conservatives).
What is it going to take to retain and strengthen our republic in 2024?

We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish Justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
That is the entire preamble that lays out why we have a constitution.
Donald Trump, by his words and actions, shows he is not interested in the preamble or the remaining text of our Constitution and doesn’t deserve the support of We the People.

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July holiday and weekend. It got quite hot but I didn’t hear of anyone in distress due to the heat around our area. One great thing about our beautiful valley is that there are lots of creeks and the mill pond where people can go to play in the water.
Here’s a reminder that everyone is invited to a service for Jerry Ladiges at the Mt. Adams Cemetery on Wednesday, July 10, at 1 p.m. There will be no dinner following the service at the cemetery.
MARS (Mt. Adams Resource Stewards) is hosting its 5th annual pig roast, potluck, and open house at Camp Draper (Glenwood)
July 11 at 5 p.m. Jay McLaughlin says, “As in past years, we’ll have beverages and smoked pork, possibly salmon, and a few frog legs to sample. Please bring a side dish, salad, or dessert to share. Cold beer will be on tap (for a suggested donation), and we will be raffl ing opportunities to win a truckload of fi rewood and rock. We’ll provide updates on our work at MARS and will welcome any feedback as far as our projects. More than anything, we look forward to the chance to gather and catch up with neighbors, partners, and friends.” Now that sounds like a fun evening for the whole family.
And here’s reminder that the Glenwood Homemakers are hosting a wonder-
ful evening on Saturday, July 13, from 4 to 7 p.m. for new and old community residents in their 2025 Meet and Greet at Hoodenpyl Park. Everyone is welcome to attend. The Homemakers began their Meet and Greet program last summer as a way for those new to the community and those who have lived here awhile to get acquainted and enjoy a delicious dinner.
This fun day will feature door prizes, a bounce house and games for kids, and even cotton candy. Homemakers will barbecue hot dogs and hamburgers. They will also provide lemonade and utensils. Please bring a lawn chair and side dish or dessert to share. The Homemakers say, “Come meet your neighbors, new and old.”
I love the pride shown in our little community. We have three businesses—the post office, Glenwood Station, and Glenwood General Store. All look inviting with their planters of flowers and seating for those visiting. We have Linda Johnson to thank for the well-tended planters at both the post office and Glenwood Station and Todd French for the beautiful planters at Glenwood General Store. If you see them around town, take the time to let them know how much you appreciate the beauty they bring to our little community. Thank you, Todd and Linda.

Cypress Creek Renewables has announced that six Klickitat County students were selected to receive a 2024 Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders Scholarship award:
Madelyn Andrews –Bickleton High School
Lucas Miller – Columbia High School
Selene Lemus – Goldendale High School
Jewlia Siglin – Goldendale High School
Evelyn Huff – Trout Lake School
Zandra Bakken – Trout
Lake School
Each student was awarded a one-time $1,000 scholarship to use towards tuition, housing, books or materials for their program of study. As part of the application process, the students were asked to submit a short video responding to the question, “How does renewable energy affect your future?”
“The applications and videos submitted by this year’s Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders awardees
were inspiring,” said Sarah Slusser, CEO of Cypress Creek. “We were impressed by what these students have already accomplished and know that they have bright futures ahead.”
The Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders scholarship program was launched in 2023 to positively impact young people in the communities where Cypress Creek develops and operates solar and battery storage projects, as well as to encourage students to consider careers in renewable energy or other STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) fields.
This year, Cypress Creek was proud to expand the program to ultimately award scholarships to 81 students across 21 counties. More information is available at ccrenew.com/ scholarships.

ROCK is all about challenging driver and machine. Competitors build amazing vehicles to drive over the most extreme obstacles our world renowned course designers can dream up. Conquering large boulders, steep climbs, rock ledges and massive drops, all while avoiding strategically placed cones. Depending on the class the competitors choose to compete in their vehicle must follow some basic build rules and safety requirements. The rules are designed to keep each class fair while allowing the builder freedom to engineer the most competitive vehicle they can. Once on the course the driver and spotter have 10 minutes to navigate 3-4 gates (set of cones) without hitting any cones and as few backups as possible. Each cone hit or backup they take adds points to their score and the team with the lowest score wins.

Floydene Maude Lyon
Floydene Maude Lyon of Klickitat, Washington, died July 1st, 2024. Her feisty nature showed at her birth in Libby, Montana, on January 7, 1936. Born to Catherine (Schneider) and Floyd Peterson, tiny preterm Floydene was bundled in a shoebox and kept warm behind the wood stove. She delighted older siblings Lloyd and Myrtle.
On August 25, 1954, she married John Gilbert Lyon in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. They lived mostly in Klickitat. The couple raised five children, Jamie (Sue), Kathy (Jim) Brashers, Mary (Rick) Hoagland, Frank, and Steve (Louise). Stepdaughter Jodean (Nick) Courtway was one of the family. With 12 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren, Floydene remembered every birthday and anni-
versary. She followed the activities of her kin and considered it her matriarchal duty to update everyone.
Early on, the family lost all their possessions in a house fire. Floydene treasured every item that was donated after the inferno. Some favorite trips were to Disneyland (with grandkids) and Germany and Mexico. Seemingly meek, she conquered the South Sister in Oregon, loved baseball, went snowmobiling in Yellowstone, and hung on for long motorcycle rides.
Floydene was preceded in death by siblings, parents, and son Frank. Burial will be at Balch Cemetery at 11 a.m. on July 20 with a reception at 1 p.m. at the Lyle Community Center.
Linda Diane Cowan
Our beloved Linda Diane Cowan left this earth on May 5, 2024, at age 65, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. In her last moments, she was at home with her loving husband Rick by her side. Throughout her life, Linda embodied kindness and compassion. Her generosity and selflessness knew no bounds! She welcomed everyone into her home with open arms. Linda spent many years teaching children. It wasn’t just her job; it was her passion. She left an incredible mark on the hearts of friends and family alike. Linda’s legacy of love will be cherished by all who had the joy and privilege of knowing her. Linda was predeceased by her mother; father; brother Raymond; sister Gloria; and grandson Devaan. Linda is survived by her husband Rick, five children, 13 grandchildren, and three greatgrandchildren. May Linda Diane Cowan rest in eternal peace, free from pain, and may she be remembered for the love and light she brought to the lives of others. And always remember to stay groovy, baby!
Susan Louise Bowdish passed away July 1, 2024, at Legacy Mt. Hood Hospital after an eight-year battle with cancer.
Susan was born on a snowy and icy day, November 25, 1961, in Spokane to Daniel and Pat (Fisher) Wallenmeyer. She was the fourth of four children and a birthday present to her “twin” sister Patti, born 3 years earlier. Susan was raised throughout the Northwest because her father worked for the Soil Conservation Service, and they wanted their conservationists to have broad experience in the region, so the family moved frequently around the eastern side of Oregon and Washington. Susan always considered John Day/Canyon City her childhood home where she grew to love being in nature surrounded by trees.
Susan graduated from McMinnville High School and attended Oregon State University for a year, often being greeted by faculty

After high school, he attended Grace Harbor Community College for two years before attending Whitworth College in Spokane where he studied theology. In 1979, his last year at Whitworth, he met the love of his life, Rochelle Knapp. They married in September of that same

Susan worked around the Northwest until she joined the Central Klickitat Conservation District staff in 1992. On her fi rst day of work, she met a young farmer new to the area who asked “strange questions and did things differently,” and she and Dean Bowdish were married a year later. She spent the next 31 years enjoying being a part of agriculture, working with cattle, sheep, goats, and even chickens, driving tractors, baling hay, doing everything on the farm except changing irrigation. Susan enjoyed serving the community and was a volunteer and board mem-

After a year in Montesano, they moved to Goldendale, where they had their two sons, Hans and Morgan Hurt. After working a series of odd jobs, Dean started working as an orderly at the local hospital and decided he wanted to spend the rest of his life helping people.

Hunter summed up the main questions facing the commissionersontheissue when he asked, “Are we lookingat an RFP[request for proposal] to just have another manager manage theplant,orarewelooking at an RFP to actually turn theplantovertosomebody?”
He said the county can’t turn the plant over to the Dallesport Water District “Wecoulddoitiftheywere a city,” he said “But they are not a certified sewer districtinDOE’seyes”
Hunter also opposed finding a new plant operator “People in Dallesport turned us into DOE with alaundry list of stuff,” he said “Eve given the board that list, and we found no fault None The only fault they could point outisthattheplantisatits lifeexpectancy Wealready knowthat Itcostsus$60000 a year to monitor the PUD And if it’s somebody new, we haveto monitorit more closely”

“This has been a long sagain whicha longstring

Hood River-White Salmon Bridge replacement project receives federal biological opinion
The Hood River-White Salmon Bridge Authority has received the National Marine Fisheries Service’s biological opinion for the bridge replacement project, marking a critical milestone for the new bridge.
The biological opinion concluded that the project is not likely to jeopardize species listed on the Endangered Species Act and that construction is not likely to destroy or harm these species’ habitats.
Dead pines felled on Observatory Hill
More than a hundred Ponderosa pines on Observatory Hill were felled throughout June.
The action, approved by the City of Goldendale, was an extension of the ongoing fuel management project led by the Klickitat County Conservation District, aimed at mitigating the risk of severe wildfi res on the property.
“There were over 200 [trees] identified for removal before we started the project,” a Conservation District employee (wishing to remain unnamed) said.
Upon debarking the felled Ponderosa pines, distinct tracks were discovered in the phloem, the sugary layer beneath the bark. These tracks indicated that the cause of the trees’ drought stress-induced mortality was a forest pest outbreak, suspected to be bark beetles of various types.
Bark beetle outbreaks are historically infrequent, occurring approximately once every 20 to 30 years. However, due to rising temperatures and changing climate conditions, these outbreaks are expected to become more frequent. The affected trees were estimated to have been killed a year or more prior, as the symptoms of drought stress, such as needle browning and wood drying, have a prolonged onset.
“We have three types of beetle, the western pine, the mountain pine, and the ips beetle,” the same employee said.
Pest-killed pines present numerous hazards, primarily an increased fire risk. Trees killed by pests often succumb to drought stress, a condition exacerbated by the pests’ tracks in the phloem, which disrupt the tree’s nutrient and water supply, causing it to dry out from the top down. The resulting dry wood is highly fl ammable, posing a significant wildfi re risk. Additionally, the structural weakness of these dead trees increases the likelihood of collapse and falling branches, creating hazards for visitors and residents alike. Despite the dangers, some longer-standing dead trees have been retained for habitat purposes. Dead trees, or snags, provide essential habitats for various wildlife species. Birds such as woodpeckers, owls, and chickadees nest in these dead trees, while ground mammals like squirrels also refuge within them.
The implications of the Observatory Hill project extend beyond the immediate area.
Landowners in the greater Goldendale area may need to adopt similar fuel management practices to reduce wildfire risks on their properties. Increased
vigilance for signs of pest outbreaks, such as the tracks found in the phloem, will be crucial. Proactive measures, including the removal of dead or infested trees, can help protect both private lands and the broader community from potential fire hazards. Additionally, maintaining some dead trees as wildlife habitats can support local biodiversity, echoing the balance struck at Observatory Hill. As rising temperatures continue to influence pest behavior and wildfire frequency, collaboration among landowners, conservation districts, and local governments will be key to ensuring the longterm health and safety of the region’s forests and residents.
Further projects are underway at Observatory Hill, with the clearance of branch piles being the next significant step. These efforts aim to beautify the land and enhance safety for visitors. The ongoing management and restoration work not only mitigate wildfire risks but also support the local ecosystem by maintaining critical wildlife habitats.
“This is a landmark moment for this project,” said Jacob Anderson, Bridge Authority co-chair. “We’re very pleased to see this opinion, and we’re committed to proactively addressing any environmental issues that arise over the course of the project.”
This decision is part of the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) process, which requires federal agencies to assess the environmental effects of proposed bridge and highway construction projects, among other things.
The bridge replacement project started the NEPA
process back in 2003, when it submitted materials for a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
While the effort stalled due to a lack of funding, work was revived in 2017 after funding was received from the Oregon Legislature.
The project team submitted a biological assessment with updated information and a supplemental Draft EIS was issued in 2020, which enabled the federal government to issue the biological opinion.
Expected later this year, the Federal Highway Administration, along with the Oregon Department of Transportation and the Hood River-White Salmon Bridge Authority, will issue a Final EIS and a Record of Decision. This will conclude the NEPA process, moving the project another step closer to starting construction.
“We’ve been anticipating this decision for quite a while now, and are very pleased to be reaching this critical step forward,” said Bridge Authority Commissioner Marla Keethler. “We will continue to work closely with our federal partners to ensure
we are good stewards of the environment throughout construction and over the lifetime of the new bridge.” Moving forward, the Bridge Authority and its partners will implement the measures outlined in the biological opinion. This will include regular monitoring and reporting to ensure that mitigation efforts are effective and that the project remains in compliance with Endangered Species Act requirements. About the Hood RiverWhite Salmon Bridge Replacement Project: The existing Hood River-White Salmon Bridge is nearing the end of its serviceable life and needs to be replaced as soon as possible to support the communities and economies on both sides of the river. The new bridge will be funded through a combination of federal grants, state funding from both Oregon and Washington, and a federal loan repaid by local tolls. Construction is scheduled to start in late 2025, with the new bridge opening by the end of 2029. Learn more and sign up for updates at hoodriverbridge.org.
Washington Farm Bureau PAC endorses Newhouse
Last week, the Washington Farm Bureau PAC announced it endorsed and supports farmer and Congressman Dan Newhouse for re-election.
“We appreciate Congressman Newhouse’s unwavering dedication to agriculture and his commitment to addressing critical issues, such as ag labor reform and protecting the Snake River Dams,” said Rosella Mosby, President of the Washington State Farm Bureau. “We look forward to continuing to work together in supporting Washington’s farmers and ranchers.”
“As a third-generation farmer and one of only a few farmers in Congress, I am honored to be endorsed by the Washington Farm Bureau PAC,” said Newhouse. “I have fought to cut regulatory red tape, lower input costs, and achieve real labor reform to help all of agriculture and the many Central Washington families who rely on this crucial industry for their livelihoods.”

Jonathan the Tortoise
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to time travel? To know what the world would be like before we had electricity, cars, cell phones and television? What would your world look like without the internet? Can you imagine what it would be like to have been alive 192 years ago? The oldest land animal known on Earth would tell us if he could speak. No, I am not kidding. Jonathan the tortoise is at least 192 years old. He even holds the record in the Guinness Book of World Records. If only a tortoise could share the stories of his life.
Jonathan was a gift given to the Governor of Saint Helena. Saint Helena is a very remote island in the south Atlantic Ocean. Scientists estimate the turtle was born in 1832. To get his age, people studied pictures that were taken in the 1880’s. They know he was given to the governor of the island in 1882. By looking at the pictures they can tell he is at least 50 years old. 1882 minus 50 and you get 1832. Fun fact no one really knows who gave the governor the tortoise. He was brought in on a sailing ship and left along with three other turtle friends. Jonathan has had a lot of love and care since then.
Jonathan comes from an archipelago in the Indian Ocean called the Seychelles. An archipelago is a string of islands, like Hawaii. This type of tortoise is critically endangered. That means they are very close to extinction. They used to live on many of the islands but now they only live on two. Humans have contributed to their population decline in many ways like damaging their environment and hunting them. Hunting them (poaching) is illegal but people make a lot of money selling them for food or as pets. Conservation scientists and law enforcement officers are working hard to save this ancient species of tortoise and their population numbers are increasing.
The world was very different when Jonathan was born. Buggies were pulled by horses and Andrew Jackson was the President of the United States. He has lived through a total of 40 US presidents. He has met many famous people including the late Queen of England. Jonathan has seen the world go from using outhouses, to indoor plumbing and gas lighting to electricity. He has even lived through two World Wars. To put that into a little better perspective, a human being is expected to live an average of 73 years. Jonathan has lived as long two human lives and is working on his third.
