The Bickleton Rodeo

Local author holds talk CONTRIBUTED: KEN MARVEL

FLEET OF FOOT: It was a weekend packed with exciting derring-do feats involving folks and critters at the Bickleton Rodeo. See more pictures on page B8.

On Thursday, June 23, the Goldendale Branch of the Ft. Vancouver Regional Library will host Goldendale native Laurie Case Wilhite for an author talk about her book Paddle to the Pacific: A journey of reflection on the Columbia River. The event will be held in the Camplan Room from 7 to 8:30 p.m. To reserve a spot for the event, visit the Goldendale library’s website; some walk-in spots will be available.

Upon retiring from teaching in White Salmon, Woodland, Emmett, Klickitat, and Goldendale, Laurie set out on a kayak adventure to reflect on life along the Columbia River.

She completed the journey to the Pacific Ocean by kayak in 24 different paddles, which became chapters in her book.

She paddled stretches of the Columbia not in downriver order but when friends and family could join her on the adventure.

As the description on the back of her book Paddle to the Pacific says, “Experience the Columbia River from the water through the story of Laurie’s journey by kayak. Geology, wildlife, history, and people along the river come together to form this rich tale of adventure. Slow down the pace, feel the river mile after mile, and

What, they couldn’t round it up to lose the pennies? Many students got scholarhips well into five and six figures. A complete list of scholarships will run in next week’s Sentinel. Right, the Graduation Parade Friday afternoon featured the school marching band. Congratulations to all the graduates. Your community is proud of you.

Solstice event on at Observatory The Goldendale Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the Goldendale Observatory, Carriger Solar Project, and Friends of Gorge Area Parks (FOGAP), has announced a Summer Solstice Celebration at Goldendale Observatory State Park on Tuesday, June 21, from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

The event is a fundraiser combining art and astronomy and will feature solar viewing through the Observatory telescope, a presentation on the history of the Observatory, food, beverages, raffles, and a display of prize-winning, solar-themed artworks from the Chamber’s recent art contest.

“On this side of the state, we are fortunate to have more sunshine and wind than the rest of the region, which influenced the originators of the South-Central Washington Science Center to include wind and solar power in their site plans for what would later become the Goldendale Observatory,” says Nicole Lundin, executive director of the Golden-

Local health care and social service organizations are conducting a community health needs assessment to understand the strengths, needs, and challenges impacting health in the Columbia River Gorge.

The assessment includes an anonymous survey asking community members for input on items ranging from local health resources, barriers to care and gaps in services, to trends regarding health and healthy lifestyles. Responses will help guide the planning and action taken to improve the health of our Gorge communities.

The survey is available in both English and Spanish at https://arcg.is/1rybPC or by scanning the QR code at the end of this article. Community members who complete the online survey by June 30 will have a chance to win one of 40 $10 gift cards. All responses will remain anonymous.

County initiates Burn Ban Zone Three Klickitat County is establishing a ban on outdoor burning for Klickitat County Burn Ban Zone Three defined as lands between the Klickitat County Fire District No. 7 eastern boundary west to the western boundaries of Klickitat County Fire Districts No. 4, 12 and 15 then north on the Klickitat River to the north county line, to the west county line, to include but not limited to Klickitat County Fire Districts No. 1, 3, 8 and 13; outside the corporate limits of any city or town; the jurisdiction of the Yakama Indian Nation; and

the jurisdiction of the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission and prohibiting the issuance of burning permits except for authorized agricultural burning. Residential barbecues will be allowed. At the discretion of the Fire Chief, Fire Protection Districts are exempt from this ban for the purposes of live fire training activities. Said ban on outdoor burning shall be in full force and effect from June 15 through September 30. The public is directed to check with the appropriate authorities concerning burn-

ing restrictions within the corporate limits of any city or town.

In 2018 Klickitat County Department of Emergency Management (KCDEM) in cooperation with the Klickitat County Interagency Fire Association (KCIFA) created new County Burn Ban Zone designations for establishing County outdoor burn bans.

This consists of three zones across the county starting in the east with Zone One then Zone Two covering the central area and Zone Three covering the west end of the county. For

clarity the zone boundaries follow fire district boundaries as much as possible. Maps detailing the zone boundaries have been created and are available to view and download on the KCDEM webpage.

Klickitat County Burn Ban Zone One went into effect on May 1, and Klickitat County Burn Ban Zone Two on June 1.

The full resolution and KC Burn Ban maps can be viewed online at w w w. k l i c k i t a t c o u n t y. org/1242/Burn-Bans-Zonesand-Notices.

New Hope Farms holds open house after two years of isolation We have all been impacted in different ways and to varying degrees by the COVID pandemic and subsequent issues.

Residents of New Hope Farm (NHF) had to forego many of the outings and on-site events that had been routine.

After two years of being quite isolated, this year we were able to have an open house once again. However, due to an abundance of caution, the open house was only for residents, their families, and staff. Also, the residents’ homes were not open even to families. We are hoping and praying by next year it will be possible to return to inviting the public and allowing families to visit the homes.

We are very encouraged by the fact that due to providing quality care and a safe secure environment for our residents

no resident was infected with COVID. That has been due to the grace of God and the diligent efforts of the staff.

Prayers were answered the day of the open house with the sprinkling of rain pausing and the sun shining. It was a perfect day to enjoy the outdoor meal provided by Bake My Day right here in Goldendale. Thank you, Shane and Sheena, for your skills in providing the delicious food.

On another note, if you have been following New Hope Farm information sharing and fund-raising communications, you will remember that NHF is working toward a different Activity Center location on our current 40-acre site.

The board, in consultation with NHF Manager Colleen, spent a lot of time evaluating our options. Then came

COVID, supply chain issues, and increased building and labor costs, along with the pandemic regulations for in-person meetings causing things to come to a grinding halt for the most part.

Those circumstances, which were totally out of our control, resulted in the board continuing their fund-raising efforts via email and phone calls. We also took advantage of the opportunity to step back from plan implementation and re-evaluate the best time to move forward. All of that is a long way of saying, no, we have not yet broken ground. After much deliberation and on-going cost analysis, a new option has recently been presented that the board is also evaluating. They must consider, along with creating adequate activity space,

what will be the most fiscally responsible use of the money that has been donated to NHF. We count on donations for the support of the Farm, and during the past two years two of our major donors have passed away, which has had a real impact on our finances.

Thank you to all who support our efforts in providing the residents with a safe, secure, and home-like setting. We are looking forward to being able to once again be out and about the community and having occasion to meet with old friends and make new ones.

All donations to NHF are appreciated and are tax deductible.

—Dave Hauser, President/ Secretary of the Board

Answer to last week’s Mystery Picture

This week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture From 1939, these men stand waiting for their turn to audition for the role of the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz. See, ’cause there’s all that hay

around. Not buying it?

That’s okay, we’re just kidding anyway. So who are these guys? What are they doing? Where? We have no idea. All we know is this

picture ran in The Sentinel sometime, 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 (509773-3777) or drop in at the office —and remember, you’re welcome to come in and take a look at the original photograph.

Looking Back

We colorized this photo to show what it might have looked like back then in color. Almost everyone who stopped to talk about last week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture thought it was a play at the Grange Hall. While there were a few guesses, there was not

enough information to find the picture in our archives.

Betty Zesiger picked out Wilma Spaulding in the black dress with white sleeves in the back. Mark Doubravsky thought the lady on the far right looked like Mrs. Cheney, who was a schoolteacher at one time.

Sesquicentennial Corner: Bringing Goldendale back to its roots

June 1884 – 138 Years Ago

Goldendale’s four-year old Vigilance Hook and Ladder Company No. 1 has listed its inventory of equipment with the town council. To this reporter, it sounds like the equipment of a wrecking crew rather than a fire ladder group.

The list includes 33 leather buckets, two axes, and 50 feet of rope. A hook and ladder wagon is currently being built at the cost of $168. The company cannot receive delivery on it until the rest of the bill is paid.

June 2, 1922 – 100 Years Ago

We’ll have to admit George Garner has some car! It is self-starting, self-steering, and self-stopping. Tuesday night he parked it on the street, naturally. Not long after he left, the car spied a tree on the opposite lot and decided to climb it. First, making sure that Mr. Garner was out of sight, it headed for the tree and was halfway over the curbing, when it noticed the tree grew straight up, as trees have a habit of doing, and remembering it was a car and not a monkey, thought it would probably be useless to go any further, so stopped.

June 15, 1922 – 100 Years Ago

A company composed of Charles and John Doubravsky, J.C. Robinson, and Arthur Lefever has been formed recently and has purchased the Sine saw mill located on the other side of Crofton Prairie, which they will operate this season. They have purchased a large amount of timber from Frank Graham, near the mill, and expect to be busy for a couple of years cutting it up. The lumber will be planed and shipped out.

June 12, 1941 – 81 Years Ago

R.A. Jackson, Rock Creek sheep operator, has an advertising testimonial for pick-up hay balers that could be worth real money to some farm machinery manufacturer. Ask Jackson if his pick-up baler picks up all the hay and he’ll reply: “Pick up hay? Why, even the snakes can’t get away from it.” And that’s just about right. Last week while operating in his alfalfa field in lower Oak Flat, Jackson’s pickup baler picked up and baled at least three snakes, two of them rattlers. “We could see the snakes trying to crawl out of the baler’s path, but they couldn’t get away,” he said. “Naturally the snakes were crushed when the machines compressed the hay into bales.”

June 18, 1942 – 80 Years Ago

A former Goldendale resident who worked at The Sentinel 50 years ago recalled this week that his father hauled the brick for Klickitat County’s old brick courthouse. The man is Judge W. F. Peddicord, of Ocean Park, Washington, who is in Wishram this week visiting his daughter. Judge Peddicord said the brick for the old courthouse was hauled by his father, L. B. Peddicord. The courthouse bricks were made in the old Hank Young brickyard located near the present site of the Goldendale Meat Company stock yards at the east city limits. [Now the present site of the Swimming pool.]

June 14, 1962 - 60 Years Ago

A two-week canvass of supporters of the Klickitat County Historical Society will begin Friday, President Bessie Hornibrook said Tuesday. Harold Fariello was named chairman of the fundraising drive. “We have purchased an option on the house of Pearl Shepard [the Presby House], and the canvass will determine our ability to go ahead with its purchase,” Mrs. Hornibrook said.

June 14, 1962 – 60 Years Ago

Ninety-nine eighth graders received diplomas of advancement in the last class to be graduated from the old Goldendale Elementary School Wednesday, June 6. The class filled five rows of chairs in the old gym, packed with parents and friends. Earlier in the day, students in the upper grades moved quantities of miscellaneous teaching and classroom effects from the old building across the six-block distance to the new elementary school building, Others arranged chairs and desks in the old building, ready for moving, during the afternoon.

What happened to the ‘To Be Returned’ photo?

Last week we shared a picture of Elaine and Curtis Starks and asked readers to help us locate the family of the Starks so we could return the picture, as was requested

by Patricia Lickliter many, many years ago. We received word through a number of people that Patricia “Pat” Lickliter’s daughter, Ganey, was still a Goldendale resident. It didn’t take long for word to get around, and Ganey, who was just around the corner at the Legion, came in to claim the picture. Pat Lickliter was Curtis Starks’ sister. Though she had no idea when the

picture was taken, we came to the conclusion that it was possibly after returning from World War II. Looking to see what The Sentinel’s archives contained, we came across a snippet titled “Starks Coming Home” from July 19, 1945: T-5 Curtis Starks, who for the past three and a half years has been serving oversees, will leave Germany soon for the states, according to word recently received here by his wife, Elaine.

Starks has been in the Army for five years, most of which time he has spent overseas. He is the son of Mr. And Mrs. Alvie

Starks of Goldendale. Upon arriving home, he is expecting to receive a discharge, after which he and Mrs. Starks will make their home in Goldendale.

Mrs. Starks, since coming to

This week we continue the Pioneer Story started last week; it was written by Charles S. Gains and was printed in The Sentinel April 27, 1972.

The first car I remember was owned by Leland, John and George McCredy. “Gas” Binns Rasmusson had the first Fords in the community. I bought my first car in 1915, and it was a 1914 Ford.

It took seven to eight hours to ride a horse from Bickleton to Mabton (one way), so you didn’t go just for a loaf of bread.

After my parents’ death, I started working for wages on roads and the harvest fields. I worked for Marvin Mason (Tom Talbert homestead) which is 4 and a half miles southwest of Bickleton and for A.L. (Renzy) Powers (Lund homestead), which is about 8 miles southwest of Bickleton, until I went into World War I. I have my service registration card dated June 8, 1917, and signed by C. M. Beck. My service induction card was mailed to the post office at Dot. I entered the military service at Goldendale on April 25, 1918, and served overseas at Evacuation Hospital No. 10 in France.

I kept a diary on my time in the service which begins, “On my way to lick the Kaiser.” I got out of the service in 1919 and went back to work for A. L. Powers. I joined the Bickleton

American Legion Harry Gotfredson Post in 1921.

Emil Jensen was Post Commander. After this group dissolved, I joined the Goldendale American Legion and am still a member.

In 1921 I started farming for myself on the A. O. White place east of Rock Creek.

This farm consists of the Paine, Muson, and Martin homesteads. Former owners had been Wesley Paine and Peter Duce.

In June 1922 I was married at Goldendale to Vera M. White, daughter of A. O. (Bud) and Minnie White. We later bought the farm from the White estate. Our farm is now leased by Bon Powers, grandson of the A. L. Powers for whom I worked as a young boy. When I started farming, we had a threshing crew of seven men and later went modern with a combine pulled by 12 horses. I hauled wheat by an eight-horse trail wagon to Sundale, which took 10 hours round trip. We have one daughter, Mrs. Robert (Maxine) McAuley, who lives in Yakima. We moved out of Klickitat County in 1964 to retire at 313 North 30th Avenue in Yakima. We still go back to the farm and do odd jobs and enjoy living there part of the year. Our friends in Klickitat County are greatly missed and always a joy to see.

Goldendale a few weeks ago, has been employed at Mac’s Points to ponder: Café.

Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.

The September 27, 1945, issue notes a reunion that I had a Shepherd’s pie for lunch. He wasn’t very happy Mr and Mrs. Curtis Starks about it. attended.

Opinion The path of honesty, truth, and morality

When I was a student, there were three major networks to watch for the even-ing news: ABC with Howard K. Smith, NBC with Chet Huntley and David Brinkley, and CBS with Walter Cronkite. The news reports were basically the same, fo-cusing on the same events. We did not know the political persuasion of these broadcast journalists because that was not for public knowledge. These men carefully guarded their own beliefs on the news reports, although two of them did participate in other programs where they shared their opinion.

This is no longer true; we don’t get the news, we get what the networks want us to see, and it is done quite selectively. If you Guest watch three different outlets, you’ll most likely see three different slants Column on the stories, unless there is a big Darrell event that happened that day. In addition, we hear not facts, but opinions Watson, about what happened—we are being Father’s told what to believe, rather than letting us draw our own conclusions; House and woe to us if we disagree with these often quite biased reports.

What’s my point? Getting the truth is becoming a real challenge. I’ve heard people make statements that are the polar opposite of others, and each side claims the others are lying. Why is this so?

It is because we have lost our “moral compass,” that honoring of truth, right and wrong, and speaking honestly even when it is to our own hurt.

I vividly remember this quote: “I disagree with (named the person) their views, yet I will defend to the death their right to voice them.” That is not the norm today. If we disagree with someone, they now have become our enemy, and we seem to have no problem with slandering them.

Actually, none of this is unique to us and our society. I follow Jesus, who was slandered, the victim of false testimony and political posturing. I also follow His teachings, which are now being challenged in the courts, even though the constitution supposedly guarantees my right to worship as I choose, and I hold to my beliefs accordingly. If I make certain statements which I believe according to the Bible, I could be arrested. This is no surprise; Jesus told us we would be persecuted.

I’m going to be thankful that we can still exercise our freedom to worship as we believe for the most part, and I pray for our nation to have a rebirth of morality, honesty, and justice. We need it!

Glenwood rides high in rodeos Klickitat County Senior Services Our awesome Glenwood high school and junior high school rodeo athletes completed their rodeo season placing high in the rankings at the Washington State Finals. Joslyn Arnold will travel to Gillette, Wyoming for the National High School Rodeo Finals in goat tying.

Her high school teammate, Peyton Sanchey, along with junior high rodeo teammates Emma Patterson and Blaine Arnold, all finished in the top ten in at least one of their events, qualifying them for the Silver State International Rodeo in Winnemucca, Nevada.

They and their Klickitat County High School/Junior High School Rodeo Club teammates who also qualified for National Finals or Silver State need our help because traveling with pickups, horse trailers, and horses is now more expensive than ever. They are

selling raffle tickets for a chance to win a beautiful quilt made by Terry Arnold to help meet their travel expenses. Tickets are $10 each, and you can contact any of our local rodeo athletes to purchase tickets or find them at the Glenwood Rodeo this weekend. The winner of the quilt will be announced on Sunday at the rodeo. These great kids worked so hard at their sport to earn their spots in post-season rodeos and are most deserving of our support. Thank you all for any support you can give them.

That brings us to one last reminder that our rodeo is coming up this weekend, June 18 and 19. In addition to the actual rodeo days, the beer garden will be open Friday night, with former Glenwood kid Ray Lemley playing his great

music. Don’t forget the Glenwood Homemakers Cowboy Breakfast at the school Sunday morning from 6:30 to 10 a.m., Cowboy Church in the rodeo dance hall at 9 a.m. Sunday, and the parade through town starting at 11 a.m. Sunday. It’s not too late to sign up for the parade.

The 72-hour closure of the

Hood River-White Salmon interstate bridge that was planned for June 10 to 12 has been rescheduled, due to rain that weekend. Since the work must be conducted in dry conditions, Port contractor Granite Construction has notified the Port that they will use the rain delay option provided in the contract. The closure will now take place beginning at 12:01 a.m. the morning of Friday, June 24, through 11:59 p.m. the night of Sunday, June 26. For more information, contact the Port of Hood River via email to porthr@ gorge.net.

If you are wondering if that plant growing unexpectedly in your yard or acreage is a weed or a flower, or perhaps you’ve seen an unusual bird, stop

by French’s Farms Nursery in Lyle and check out all the books that may answer your questions. They have

a resource library that would be very helpful, and they are willing to let you browse to your heart’s content. They really are good people—like most Lyleites.

Nine fair damsels of the “Ladies Luncheon” gathered at the China Gorge in Hood River last week. Various conversations lead to the disclosure of our ages, and at our age we are rather proud to acknowledge it.

The ages ranged from 73 to 102. Yep, I said one hundred and two. And if I understood it correctly, the sweet lady will be a year older in another couple of weeks.

This weather is changing so rapidly, I go from stripping clothes like Superman in a phone booth one day to searching for those sweatshirts I thought about packing away last week. Confusion is everywhere—I’ve caught my furnace and air conditioner both running at the same time.

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.

Obituaries

Alice (Allie) Margaret Heisman Alice Margaret Heisman (Allie) was born on August 8, 1938, in Midland, Michigan, to G. Fred and Winnifred Heisman. She passed away on Memorial Day, May 30, at her home in Goldendale. She had two disabled sisters, Suzanne and Betty, and a disabled mother, who are now in the presence of Jesus. As a young girl, Allie enjoyed teaching her sisters how to write their names and a variety of other tasks, which gave her an eager desire to consider special education as her life’s work.

After graduating from Midland High School in 1956 Allie attended Eastern Michigan University with two majors— Special Education and an Arts Group major, which included music, art, and drama—and acquired a Bachelor of Science degree. She received certificates to teach grades K-9 and began her career in Bay City, Michigan, public schools teaching special needs children at the intermediate level.

For over 40 years Allie taught in Michigan, California, and Washington. She was also blessed to teach 55 joyful years of Sunday School, considering it a privilege to teach children of the love of Jesus Christ. She sang in adult choirs since age 11, which also was the age she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior, and enjoyed directing musical productions—somewhere around 28—throughout her life.

While visiting relatives in Covina, California, Allie was accepted for an elementary special education position at Rowland Avenue School. During her “after school hours,” she collaborated with friend Jan Smith to build an educational farm as there were none available for students

to visit and enjoy in all of Los Angeles County, thus, Ranchipurr Reigns was born.

Ralph Brewer, Allie’s uncle, headed up the building project that enabled hundreds of children to visit all types of farm animals. The farm, free to the public, was featured in various newspapers and TV stations.

In 1980 Allie’s health forced a move for Ranchipurr Reigns to the idyllic ranch setting with the Little Klickitat River running through the property north of Goldendale. Several of their animals came with them, i nclud i n g t hei r miniature donkeys.

After deciding to specialize in llamas—having as many as 42 at one time—Allie and Jan enjoyed using them with a 4H group of 16 young people. They took them into hospitals and care centers where the people were able to enjoy each llama dressed in a costume to match its “person partner.” One year, they entered The Dalles Cherry Festival parade, dressed in costumes with one student riding a llama and one driving a cart pulled by a llama—they won the first-place trophy. Allie loved animals of all kinds, especially her dogs. Although she loved the Shelties, Poodles, and Newfoundlands she and Jan had over the years, she held a special place in her heart for Sam, the Anatolian Shepherd.

Shortly after their move, Allie and Jan founded and taught full time at Goldendale’s first Christian School. They took their students on many study trips, presented drama and musical productions highlighting the love of Jesus, and taught solid biblical principles.

Eventually, they built up the enrollment to over 80 students and increased the number of dedicated staff members.

Using her extensive background in Special Education, Allie served as Education Director at Goldendale Head Start which brought about many exceptional opportunities to learn about Goldendale.

She was blessed by a terrific staff and young children who were always a delight.

Whether Allie was teaching at the Christian School, Head Start, or Sunday School, she spent tireless hours in the evenings and weekends not only helping Jan build Ranchipurr Reigns Two, but also creating remarkable crafts, costumes, songs, sets, etc., to share with the children for whatever project or production she and Jan dreamed up.

In 1992, Peggy, Joey, and Joshua Shirley moved to the farm, and then in 1993 Jim Woodard and Peggy married.

Allie was thrilled to have a young family in the neighborhood and loved them as her own. Later that year, Allie’s dad, Fred, moved from Michigan into the mobile home, rounding out the “family” at Ranchipurr Reigns. Fred lived for 10 years, making many new friends, singing in choirs and special productions, and performing numerous duets with Allie. Being a rose connoisseur, Fred contributed to Ranchipurr’s beauty by having copious amounts of roses—300 or so—planted on the farm.

Allie took a special interest in the roses as well, knew all the names of the different varieties, and cared for them after Fred no longer could.

James Delos Reno

One of Allie’s most gratifying activities was making over 5,000 personalized greeting cards for people over the course of many years. Each one had a unique poem with a Christian emphasis involving the person, or people, themselves. One of these personalized poem cards was a fan letter to Mary Costa, the famous soprano, who was the voice of Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty. Allie sent the card several years ago, Mary answered right back, and a deep, abiding relationship was born between Allie, Jan, and Mary.

Writing had been one of Allie’s passions, and she not only wrote innumerable poems, but also wrote short stories as well. One of her children’s stories, Number Ten, Where Are You? turned into a published book. She based it on a goose that lived in the barnyard at Ranchipurr Reigns in Covina.

Allie is survived by her dear sister in the Lord and lifetime friend, Jan Smith; neighbors and adopted family, Jim and Peggy Woodard of Goldendale; Joseph (Rachel) Shirley of Cleveland Heights, Ohio; Joshua (Timmany and Tim) of Pembroke Pines, Florida. Her other adopted family (Jan’s family): Nora Fronick, Barry (Pam) Fronick, Cory (Camrie) Fronick, Becca (Chris and Isabelle) Buck, all of Medford, Oregon; all the rest of the Smith clan; and many beloved cousins and friends throughout the United States.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Columbus Avenue Baptist Youth Program.

Allie’s very best friend is Jesus, with whom she now gets to spend eternity.

James Delos Reno, age 80, passed peacefully June 5, 2022, at OHSU hospital in Portland, Oregon, of Pulmonary Fibrosis. He was born in Yakima, Washington, at St. Elizabeth hospital to James Wilson Reno and Lauretta Darnell Reno on June 6, 1941.

He was raised on a farm in Selah, Washington, and graduated from Selah High School in 1959.

In the summer of 1959, he entered the U.S. Coast Guard.

He was based in Seattle and spent time on the Northwind Ice Breaker, in Radar at the DEW Line Station at Point Barrow, Alaska, and then went back to Seattle. He was later transferred to Portland, Oregon, to do Port Security.

While in Seattle, he met a Yakima Valley girl— Malinda Alderman—and they were married in August 1963 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Yakima.

Delos was always an entrepreneur and loved change and wanted to make everything better. He and Malinda built and operated Reno’s

Meat Block in Vancouver, Washington. In Grandview, Washington, they bought and operated many rentals. In Goldendale they built and ran Reno’s Pizza for 20 years. In 1988, during his 4-year term as Klickitat County commissioner, he negotiated the contract to build a new state-ofthe-art landfill, which brings much revenue to the county.

He then filled in “retirement” time with building and remodeling many houses. He was always thinking of what to do next.

Delos is survived by sisters Vicki Hughes of Portland, Oregon, and Sharma (Stan) Taylor of Selah; his wife, Malinda; daughters Dana (Robert) Allen, Darcy (Oscar) Johnson, and Dee Reno (Jason Ihrig); eight grandchildren; three greatgrandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

Funeral mass will be on June 18 at 10:30 a.m. at Holy Trinity Catholic Church and burial at noon at Holy Trinity Cemetery. There will be a memorial at 1 p.m. at the American Legion.

Memorial services will endale.

Klickitat Trout Unlimited Chapter youth programs Laurie Wilhite

For The Sentinel Our Klickitat Trout Unlimited (TU) Chapter No. 484 is eager to resume a variety of opportunities to involve youth in educational conservation projects. Klickitat County’s rural students are sometimes isolated, especially during the pandemic, and can benefit from firsthand science experiences in the field. For the first time in several years, we recently volunteered for Kids Free Fishing Day at Spearfish Lake.

Over the next several years, we will be offering both tra-

ditional events like Kids Fishing Days and STREAM (Science, Technology, Recreation, Engineering, Art, and Math) Explorer camps as well as new opportunities including involvement in a restoration project on the Klickitat River and STREAM after school programs.

On Saturday, June 11, members from our Klickitat TU chapter volunteered for Kids Free Fishing Day, sponsored by the U.S. Corps of Engineers. Vice President Greg Short said, “The Spearfish youth fishing event was a success. Bryce Leisure, Park Ranger for The U.S. Army

Corps of Engineers brought a bunch of rigged spin cast rods, bait, and tackles for the kids. They also provided a Life Jacket (Personal Flotation Device) display table and handouts emphasizing water safety and provided a grab bag full of fun freebies for each youth in attendance.”

Klickitat TU volunteers included Dick Stentz, Tony Paolino, Greg Chokas, and Greg Short. The event was held in conjunction with Washington’s Free Fishing weekend; therefore, a fishing license was not required.

Short added, “A few trout were caught, and my group

SOLSTICE from page A1 accessible telescopes in the nation.”

The Friends of Gorge Area Parks is a new volunteer-driven group supporting four Washington State Parks in the Columbia River Gorge region, in order to enhance quality educational and recreational opportunities: Goldendale Observatory State Park, Columbia Hills State Park, Maryhill State Park, and Brooks Memorial State Park. FOGAP works with the Parks, which recognize FOGAP as the official support group for these four parks. Visitors to the Solstice Celebration are encouraged to learn more about joining FOGAP. Members will be on site to answer questions and help sign up volunteers for future park programs.

The solar art contest,

SURVEY from page A1 which ran from March through April, attracted submissions from an array of local artists who created pieces in a variety of media. The winning entry was a finely detailed penand-ink drawing entitled Solstice, by Alyssa Eckert, whose work is available at www.thebrightmerchant. com. The second-place winner was Ana Rugani, and the third-place winner was Sarah Fitzsimmons.

An image of the first-place piece will be imprinted on commemorative t-shirts, provided courtesy of the Carriger Solar Project, which will be available for purchase both during the event and later through the Chamber office and Observatory gift shop.

Proceeds from event ticket sales and from sales of commemorative items

will be used to purchase needed equipment for the Observatory, and to support Art at the Heart of Goldendale, a Chamber public art initiative aimed at revitalizing and beautifying Goldendale’s downtown area.

“The Carriger Solar Project is honored to participate as a sponsor of this special solstice celebration and help support important local programs that make this community shine,” says Tai Wallace, Senior Director of Development at Cypress Creek Renewables, parent company of the Carriger Solar Project. “We deeply appreciate the opportunity to partner with these outstanding organizations to have some fun and celebrate the enduring power of the sun in Klickitat County.”

Guests of the Solstice event can experience an abbreviated version of the full-length program offered daily to observe the sun.

“The Goldendale Observatory offers some of the highest-quality live solar viewing opportunities available anywhere,” says Troy Carpenter, Observatory Administrator. “We encourage all to visit us on any regular afternoon when the park is open, for the full two-hour program which begins at 3 p.m.”

The Goldendale Observatory solar viewing program offers some of the highest resolution live views of the sun offered by any public observatory or science center in the nation. More information is available at www.GoldendaleObservatory.com.

The Washington Outdoors Report: Grande Bass at Mexico’s Lake El Salto John Kruse

For The Sentinl Here in the Pacific Northwest, a six-pound bass is considered the fish of a lifetime by many anglers, but they get much bigger than that.

Arguably the best place to go to catch a trophy bass is Angler’s Inn at Lake El Salto in Mexico. Lake El Salto is a man-made reservoir in the Mexican state of Sinaloa that was dammed in 1990 to provide irrigation and flood control to the surrounding area.

Situated in the shadow of the Sierra Madre mountains, the 27,000-acre reservoir was planted with fast-growing, Florida-strain largemouth bass and tilapia, which are an important forage fish for the bass and also provide a commercial harvest for local fishermen.

Billy Chapman Jr. saw the potential for a world class trophy bass fishery in this oasis within the Mexican desert and founded Anglers Inn. The all-inclusive resort sits on the south side of the lake and includes comfortable accommodations, an inviting open-air bar and dining area, along with a small tackle shop and a spa. The resort prides itself on customer service, and it is indeed outstanding.

The rooms are kept very clean, daily laundry service is provided, and you are never without a drink in your hand. There were several couples in our group who enjoyed the services at the spa and raved about the excellent massage therapist who works there. As for the food? Incredible! Meals were

a mix of Mexican and American fare. One night was Ribeye Steak Night, and not only were the steaks cooked to perfection, but they were huge! Breakfast every morning included made-to-order eggs and omelets along with fresh fruit, and the hot lunches were also delicious.

The resort provided a luxurious base camp, but it was the fishing that brought everyone here. I was in a group hosted by Mike Whitlow, the western representative for Angler’s Inn International.

I’ve gotten to know Mike well over the years through the sportsmen’s show circuit.

There were some 19 anglers in our group, hailing from Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Texas, New Jersey, and even Hawaii. The experience level varied from anglers who seldom fish for bass to others who were experienced tournament anglers. Half of the anglers in our group had been here before, some of them multiple times.

Every morning after breakfast we would be shuttled in a van to the boat launch where our guides were waiting for us in 18-foot Triton aluminum bass boats powered by 60 HP tiller outboard motors. My guide was Victor Rodriguez, a local resident who told me about growing up here before the reservoir was built. Victor had been working for Anglers Inn International for several years and has had the opportunity to guide several very well-known professional bass anglers, including Denny Brauer, Gerald Swindle, Brandon Palaniuk, Shaw Grigsby, and Mike Iac-

onelli, all drawn to Lake El Salto for the promise of huge (Grande) bass.

Victor was a hard-working and patient guide/instructor who taught me several new tricks when it comes to bass fishing. In the morning we would usually start off fishing with topwater baits, looking for big largemouth bass to explode out of the water to hammer the plugs we were retrieving. After that Victor liked to fish soft plastic worms with a shaky head jig to entice bass to bite near the flooded timber and rocks of the reservoir. Around 11 a.m. all of the boats would head back to the launch, and we would head back to the resort to enjoy a hot lunch, a cold drink, and a siesta before getting back into the boats around 3 p.m. for another four hours of fishing.

The setting for these daily trips was both pastoral and unique. Cattle, many of them with clanging bells around their necks, would graze along the shoreline, and the bird life was amazing. These included falcons called crested caracara, green parakeets, cattle egret, great blue heron, pelicans, magnificent frigatebirds, and West Mexican chachalaca, also known as Mexican turkeys.

The chachalaca occurred in great numbers in the trees surrounding the lake, and the cacophony of their calls echoing across the water was constant in the morning.

Afternoons on the lake were accompanied by a cool breeze which felt nice under the warm sun. We would fish points and flats on the lake with big Texas rigged plas-

tic worms, heavy spinner baits or lipless crankbaits like Berkley War Pigs. The key was finding the schools of bass. If you could do that and trigger them to bite, you could be in for some fast action. I was able to do this several times with the Berkley War Pig lure, catching not only smaller two-pound bass, but also several bass between 4 ½ and six pounds.

I also bested my previous personal best bass of 5.4 pounds several times over during this trip. My largest bass? An 8.1 pound large-

mouth that took a Berkley Bullet topwater popper.

As for the rest of the group?

Just about everyone caught bass weighing six pounds or better, and six anglers from our group caught bass weighing 10 pounds or better, including Larry Fugate Jr. who caught 10-pound, 8-ounce bass as well as the biggest bass caught by the group, a massive 11-pound, 3 ounce largemouth. Larry’s wife, Mandi, was no slouch either. She beat her previous personal best 3 ½ pound bass with two 9-pound bass.

This in an exceptional opportunity for bass anglers looking to hook into a trophy and have a great time in the process. You can find out more about booking a trip to Anglers Inn at Lake El Salto at www.anglersinn.com and book a hosted trip (which I would highly recommend) by emailing Mike Whitlow at mike.whitlow@anglersinn. com.

F a t h e r ’ s D a y : a l o v i n g a p pr e c i a t i o n TAYLER BRADLEY FOR THE SENTINEL

Last month we celebrated all the moms out there, and this month is for the dads! And just like moms, the dads are learning new tricks and taking on roles they may have never seen themselves taking on, but that is what makes a dad so special.

Dads have been known to be the sports coach, the fixer, the protector, the grill master, and the bread winner, among so many other things. These are still true for some these

days, but there are many other things that dads must do as well. He’s making lunches every morning, doing those braids in his little girl’s hair just right, making sure his son’s baseball pants are clean or his daughter’s favorite dress gets that stain out—the list can go on forever. The word “dad” has a whole new meaning, and they are taking on this meaning with the best attitude they can.

Men often don’t show their emotions, so if they are feeling defeated, overwhelmed, or lost,

those around them may never know. It takes a lot to be strong for their family—fathers carry such huge burdens so very well. They would never let you believe there is anything wrong at all. So, for all the dads out there feeling a little overwhelmed, we see you working hard to keep your home running smoothly and your family happy. Believe it or not, we see the progress, the time and effort you’ve put into your kids and your home, all while working full time and providing for your family.

This new era of dads is a great one. These dads are breaking down barriers and helping their little girls be strong and independent, teaching their boys to treat girls with respect, coaching the soccer team, and being the guy who brings the best homemade snacks. Dads are superheroes with an invisible cape. They do it all and then some. Our world would be so different without them.

The relationship a little girl has with her dad is a very special one. He is the one who protects her from all the bad in the

This Father’s Day be sure to show all the dads, uncles, and grandpas all the love and appreciation you can. They are all trying and doing their very best, so don’t hold back—make it a day they will never forget.

There is a lot happening right now under your feet.

The many layers that make up the Earth are moving and changing constantly.

Sometimes you can feel this movement, like during an earthquake. Most of the time people do not even know anything is happening, but the activity never stops. The top layer of the Earth is called the crust. Under the crust is a layer called the mantle. The mantle has rock that is heated so hot, it is a liquid. This liquid rock beneath the crust is called magma.

Magma bubbles and boils and when it finds a crack, or fissure, in the Earth’s crust it can rise to the surface and escape.

When this happens, it is called a volcano.

Scan this for an amazing volcano video!

There are different kinds of volcanoes and they can be found anywhere on the Earth’s surface. Some volcanoes are in the coldest places on the planet, some are isolated in the desert and some are even underwater. The three types of volcanoes are the cinder cone, shield and composite. They each have different sizes and shapes. Volcanoes are also classified by their current state. An extinct volcano is no longer filled with magma. A dormant volcano still has signs of magma deep below but has not erupted in a very long time. Active volcanoes have recently erupted and are expected to erupt again.

Just like a volcano there are different types of lava. Lava is magma that has reached the surface.

The three main types of lava flows are pahoehoe, aa and pillow. Pillow lava formations can be found in the underwater flows. Pahoehoe lava flows slowly and dries in smooth ropy formations. Aa lava flows are cooler than pahoehoe lava and they move more slowly. It is usually darker in color and forms blocky rocks with sharp edges.

The scientific study of volcanoes is called volcanology. A scientist who studies volcanoes is called a volcanologist. These trained scientists study geology, rock formations, the earth’s crust, magma and lava. They often visit volcanoes doing field studies where they gather rocks, measure the movement of the earth with equipment like a seismograph, and observe what is going on. Sometimes to get a good view of what is happening they may have to fly above the volcano in a plane or helicopter. This can be very dangerous but what a great job to have.

Nearly 90% of all of the Earth’s volcanoes are in the Pacific Ocean’s Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is along the outside edges of the Pacific where there is a weakness in the Earth’s crust. This area includes volcanoes in Antarctica and the deepest underwater volcanoes.

Inside the Ring of Fire is the state of Hawaii. A lot of people think that Hawaii is part of the ring of fire but it isn’t. It sits over a hot spot in the Earth’s mantle. This hotspot has created a whole chain of volcanic mountains under the surface of the ocean. Fun Fact!

Hawaii’s Mauna Loa rises a little more than two miles above the surface of the ocean, but there is much more volcano that can’t be seen because it is mostly underwater. Mauna Loa is about 10.5 miles tall.

How can you tell when a volcano is angry?

It blows its top!

Bickleton Rodeo Tayler Bradley

Sports Editor This past weekend was the first of the three Northwest Professional Rodeo Association rodeos held in Klickitat County. The 111th Annual Alder Creek Pioneer Picnic and Rodeo kicked off on Saturday, June 11, near Bickleton. Contestants from all over Oregon and Washington traveled to this small community to try their best at those championship buckles.

This rodeo is always a fun one filled with many events and locals who also are part of the fun. The queens made their rounds first promoting their respective rodeos, and then the Alder Creek Rodeo Queen made her way in. Cousins Hadlee Beierle and Paislee Hill carried in the red, white, and blue flags while the National Anthem was sung. Then it was time for the wild cow milking, where teams try their best to wrangle a momma cow and milk her.

This is always a treat for the crowd and a great start to the performance. The rodeo worked through the events both days with the cowboys or cowgirls with the highest score or fastest

time crowned the winners.

Cooper Cano was the only guy to cover his bareback horse, winning the whole purse and buckle. In barrel racing, Olivia Train of Myrtle Point, Oregon, had a 17. 62 seconds run and took home the win. The last ladies’ event was breakaway roping where Sammy Jo Cardoza roped her calf the fastest in 2 seconds flat.

Our very own Kayde Akins also got her calf roped to snag a check in this event.

Another fan favorite is bull riding. Dalton Davis out of Yakima was the big winner with a score of 86 points.

The third rough stock event was saddle bronc riding, and Charlie Barker earned another buckle to his collection with a top score of 82 points.

Steer wrestling is man against steer. Travis Thompson took home the buckle with a fast time of 5.70 seconds. Another local out of White Salmon, Jarin Ladiges, placed third in this event. Tie-down roping is also a fun one for the crowd. Gator Goodrich from Stanfield, Oregon, took home the buckle with the fastest time of 10.40.

Curtis Kayser, a local from

WILD AND CUTE: The Bickleton Rodeo featured a lot of wild spectacle but also an adorable toddler on pony back winding around the barrels.

Centerville, put together a great run giving him a fourth-place check. Last but not least was the team roping. This event requires two people to rope the horns and

heels of a steer the fastest.

Reno Stoebner and Russell Cardoza completed the task with a time of 5.70 seconds for the win.

Bickleton was filled with

lots of rodeo action. But we can’t forget to mention the good food, family atmosphere, carnival games, and the everlasting carousel that all the kids love to get

a ride on. The weekend went on without a hitch even with the crazy weather that came through. We already can’t wait for next year!
