HEADLINES & HISTORY SINCE 1879

RODGER NICHOLS FOR THE SENTINEL

The June 11 meeting of the Klickitat Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) was the first in a month and a half that was more about process than protest. Even the often-lively public comment period was tranquil, with fewer than a half-dozen comments, and a couple of them didn’t even mention the jail situation.

When the topic did come up, it was about a report by Human Resources Director Robb Van Cleave who outlined his plan to execute the previous week’s decision to narrow the county’s options down to two. Those were previously presented as Option 2, for the BoCC to take over jail operations and contract with NORCOR but maintain a booking facility and holding cells in Goldendale; and Option 3, to have the BoCC take over the jail but add medical staff.

Van Cleave prefaced his remarks by saying his goal was “to break things into bitesized pieces so we can begin.”

He also told commissioners another option was to follow what Benton County had done when they closed their jail, “To do it all at once in one big document.” Commissioners showed no interest in that approach, so Van Cleave spelled out a fourstep process.

Step 1 - prepare documents to create a Department of Corrections through a resolution.

Step 2 - seek a consultant to review Options 2 and 3.

City hires new clerktreasurer County hears on process for jail transition

RODGER NICHOLS FOR THE SENTINEL

The Goldendale City Council was on a roll Monday night. Councilors approved a new union contract, hired a new clerk-treasurer, took Public Works responsibilities from the city administrator to return to a revived Public Works Director office, and updated the city’s criminal code to reflect changes in state laws, all in less than an hour.

The new contract with Local No. 1533-G of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees establishes an updated pay plan, makes minor changes to the longevity schedule, and adds a three percent cost of living wage increase. Anthony Menke, a labor attorney from the Yakima law firm of Menke Jackson Beyer, appeared by Zoom and complimented all involved for their hard work to provide a smooth negotiation, saying, “It all went well. Hopefully, it put you in a great position for recruitment and retention of employees.” Michelle Enderby is the new clerk-treasurer for the city. According to the resume she submitted for the job, she was a longtime senior teller for Columbia State Bank, worked as a permit technician at the Klickitat County Building Department, and has been a financial administrative assistant for the City of Goldendale.

The Public Works responsibilities were added to the city administrator position after

The Goldendale Farmers Market was visited by the Klickitat County Health Department (KCHD) June 8, resulting in four vendors being identified as not having required permits or licenses. Health Department Director Erinn Quinn said neither vendors nor the Market itself were actually shut down.

“The KCHD food safety program received nearly 10 complaints from concerned citizens about unlicensed or unpermitted vendors participating in the Goldendale Farmers Market,” Quinn said. “On Saturday, June 8, KCHD health inspectors representing the food safety program visited the Goldendale Farmers Market and identified four vendors who did not have the appropriate license or permit for the specific product they were selling. As education is a basic tenant of our food safety program at KCHD, staff provided information to the four vendors on how to acquire the necessary permits and licenses required by state regulations; the same guidance that is listed in the Goldendale Farmers Market Member Guidelines.” Those guidelines can be viewed at tinyurl.com/35rnjuuv.

Some vendors refute Quinn’s statement. Speaking on condition of anonymity, one stated bluntly the Health Department was lying. “There were more than four, and they were shut down,” he said. “The fact is their visit report is not accurate.” He named six specific vendors who he says were shut down. “We have witnesses,” he stated.

Sarah Littlewolf said she was hard hit by the KCHD visit. “My story is I make breads and cookies and would bring them to the Market,” she states. “This was my second year doing it, and it was what I found I could do to help my husband who works a full-time job keep the power on and the rent paid. I was in a high-speed car accident that has affected me medically to the point I cannot work a regular job due to several medical issues, and we have two small children. I am also in online college to try and find a work-from-home job.” She says the income she was making at the Market was paying the fee she owes each month to graduate.

“I was making enough at the Market to keep everything going,” she states. “Now with this, we are facing services being turned off at the end of the month. Rent keeps going up, and with one income, it has been extremely hard. I took great pride in my work and loved seeing the people each weekend and how they enjoyed the foods. I don’t have the kind of money required to pass a kitchen inspection.”

She says she has a food handlers permit and was told she could file for an exemption for a

This week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture

It’s rare that we run a picture of only one person, but this photograph is unusual and unusually striking. We do know it was taken here. Beyond

that, it’s up to you to see if you know who this and when it was taken and, perhaps, the occasion. All we know is this picture ran in The Sentinel some-

time, lost in the annals of yesteryear. If you know anything about it, please send us an email (info@ goldendalesentinel.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.

Answer to last week’s Mystery Picture

June 14, 1894 – 130 Years Ago

W. F. Lefever came down Monday from his ranch in the Simcoes 12 miles north of Goldendale. He reports that three inches of snow fell there last Saturday and about two inches more snow on Sunday, but it melted rapidly, and the ground was frozen an inch in depth Sunday morning. The electrical storm of Saturday spent its fury on the mountain. A bolt of lightning struck a tree about 100 feet from Mr. Lefever’s cabin and splintered the tree badly, but no other damage was done.

June 7, 1934 – 90 Years Ago

The Reliance Creamery has started the manufacture of ice cream. Einar Andersen, proprietor of the Reliance Creamery and Cold Storage Plant, formerly worked in an ice cream plant. Containers in pint, quart, and gallon sizes are provided at the creamery.

June 22, 1944 – 80 Years Ago

Sgt. Bill Young, who is here on furlough from Santa Ana, finds that chauffeuring generals and movie stars gets to be old stuff. Sgt. and Mrs. Young and their small son, Chuck, arrived Friday to spend about 10 days visiting with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Young. “Driving the big wigs gets to be old stuff, though. Believe it or not, we even flipped one night to see who was going to drive Dorothy Lamour home. The fellow who lost had to take her. We were kind of sorry later because the fellow who drove her got his picture in the paper with her the next day.” Young’s main job is driving the colonels and generals from place to place. There is a regulation that only four passengers, in addition to the driver, may ride. He told of one time when five generals climbed in. He didn’t know what to do. “But who was I to tell a general?”

June 17, 1954 – 70 Years Ago

An 8 et 40 Salon was installed in Goldendale May 8 by Department Chapeau Virginia Dallan. Membership in this organization is by outstanding work in the American Legion Auxiliary. The Charter for the new Salon was presented to the members at Wapato on June 1, at which time the ten charter members were “wrecked.” Mrs. William Overly, Mrs. Daryl Spalding, Mrs. Maxine Barns, Mrs. Jack Blinn, Mrs. Harry Mesecher, Mrs. R.K. Nickerson, Mrs. Thomas Fouts, Mrs. Clifford Granum, Mrs. Frank Feely, and Mrs. Eugène Vanhoy are the charter members. [What the jargon in this item means is difficult to track today.]

June 11, 1964 – 60 Years Ago

Rebuilding of the old Mac’s Café building into “The Shah,” Goldendale’s newest dining facility, will be completed Thursday, and the restaurant will be open for business Friday. Goldendale builder Jay Creighton who not only did all the construction but did the final decorative design as well will be present with manager “Dutch Brock.” Dutch and Vee Brock first opened Mac’s Café in 1946. They operated it until 1953 when they purchased the Dairy Bar. In 1955 they left Goldendale for work with T. V. Wilkens Company in Spokane and returned to open the Mac’s café again in April 1960. They have operated it since that time. The Mac’s café was closed January 6 of this year for remodeling and will now operate under the name of the Shah café.

June 18, 1964 – 60 Years Ago

Arthur Bohoskey, one of the well-known sheep ranchers in the Yakima area and formerly the owner of the lamb feeding operation at Lyle, was found dead on the back lawn of his home in Yakima Saturday. Bohoskey bought the lamb feeding operation at Lyle and fed out more than a million lambs between 1922 and 1953 when he closed the operations. He took over the Yakima Sheep Company in 1943 and was serving as its president at the time of his death.

—Richard Lefever Klickitat County Historical Society

Emmett MacKay, high school science teacher, has a teaspoonful of Indian blood in him, as he is a direct descendent of Pocahontas. His ancestors on his mother’s side were in this country even before the Pilgrims.

James Rolph, who was with John Smith when that company of daring Englishmen founded Jamestown in 1609, married the Indian princess Pocahontas in 1614 and took her back to England in 1616. She died the following year. Years later, when the Middlewest was being settled, some of these decendents were among the earliest settlers in Illinois, founding the town called Pocahontas. MacKay’s grandparents on his mother’s side moved to Montana in 1864, where they, with another man, discovered Montana’s famous Boulder Hot Springs, seeing the steam rise and thinking it was smoke from an Indian camp. They purchased the Springs, later selling them and moving to Southern Montana.

It was widely agreed that last week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture was taken at the carousel at the Alder Creek Pioneer Picnic and Rodeo at Cleveland Park in Cleveland. Also known as the Bickleton Rodeo, its website states, “It is a 1905 Herschell-Spillman and is said to be one of only three of its type still working. It was purchased from Portland’s Oaks Park in 1929 and brought to Bickleton. All of the horses are stored at the museum during the year and are only brought out for this one weekend.”

Dr. Ogden, Kitt Tallman, Jarrod Swearingen, Peggy Woodard, and Joanna Thor helped us out in identifying these ladies. The lady on the left is believed to be Ruth Ferguson, in the middle is

Neola Gerard, and on the right is Jessa Brownlee. Even though we know the time of year, we were not able to pinpoint an exact year. According to one of the identifiers, Joanna Thor, her mother Neola “was the activity Director at the Mt Adams Care Center in town for many years. She took the residents on many outings.” Joanna thought this to be 35 to 40 years ago, placing it in the mid to late ’80s. Kitt Tallman identified her granddaughter, Jessa, and said she thought it was more likely around 1996, give or take a year. Though we looked through 1995 to 1997 archives and saw many pictures of people riding the carousel, we were unable to find this particular picture.

MacKay works on ranches and is an expert at tying fleece. Before returning to Goldendale this fall, he had tied 260,000 fleeces over a period of 18 years. He has also done some sheep shearing.

The MacKays have two sons: Thurman and the baby, Bruce. Perhaps his most interesting experience occurred in May, 1943, the spring before he first came to Goldendale, when he was among a group who rescued two army flyers whose plane had crashed somewhere in the rugged canyons of Montana. The plane was unable to gain altitude to get out of the canyon, so the drew bailed out.

is now St. Louis University in Missouri as a full-fledged doctor at the age of 20. He later homesteaded in Montana, there marrying MacKay’s mother. They started to file on the land which included the now famous Grasshopper glacier, where actual grasshoppers were frozen into the ice by the thousands, and can be seen there, but the MacKay’s changed their minds and chose another location.

Here Comes Mac

Two members came staggering into a forest service camp and told that there were still three crew members lost in the woods. The boys were all Easterners, and were badly frightened and they did not know how to take care of themselves in the snowbound woods.

Points to ponder:

You know you’re drunk when you can’t find your way out of a bus shelter. What’s the worst time to have a heart attack? During a game of Charades.

I was going to become an athiest, but then I realized you don’t get any holidays. I wouldn’t say they were dumb, but here was a person who’d locked his keys in his car and was fumbling with a coat hanger to try to jimmy the lock. I got closer and saw his friend in the passenger seat saying, “A little more to the left. A little more to the right...”

If it weren’t for Thomas Edison, we’d all be watching TV by candlelight.

From Nova Scotia MacKay has an equally interesting background on his father’s side. Mac’s grandfather came from Nova Scotia to Missouri in the early 1860s and studied law and medicine. He married Hester Thoroughman of a prominent early Missouri family. Her cousin, Allen G. Thoroughman ran for the vice-presidency with Cleveland when the latter ran for reelection and got the majority of popular votes but was defeated by electoral votes. These grandparents moved to Montana in 1882, to White Sulphur Springs, where he practiced medicine. MacKay’s father graduated from Helena Business College at the early age of 14 and later graduated from what

Which brings us, by way of Pocahontas, finally to Emmett MacKay, who was the sixth of seven children. He has spent most of his time in White Sulphur Springs. He started college in ’26 at Montana State, and did not finish until ’35, due to a combination of the death of his father and the depression. He married after his sophomore year in college. He graduated eventually with a B. A. degree in bacteriology and pre med, intending to be a doctor but never fulfilling that ambition. Only 5 of the class of 50 passed their final examinations, and MacKay considered himself to be fortunate to be among the 5. He taught two years in Eastern Montana, six years in his home town of White Sulphur Springs, and this is his second year in Goldendale. Among his experiences he has worked for the forest service, organized a ski patrol and is a member of the national ski patrol. Incidentally, five of his skiiers are now members of the ski troops in the army. He is a past master of the Masonic lodge at W. S. Springs, he coached basketball three years and was a 4-H club leader six years. His pet hobbies are classifying and collecting wildflowers, rocks, and minerals.

Ties Many Fleeces

During the summers,

MacKay and six others organized a searing party, going by snowshoe in from four to 20 feet of snow. Each carried a heavy forest service pack on his back, and only three made the trip without turning back. MacKay and the other two kept on shuffling ahead for 17 hours and found two of the three. The first man they found was straddling a tiny campfire and would have been dead in a few more hours. He had been injured in the jump, and he had also torn the fingernails from his hands in trying to break the frozen wood from the trees in order to keep a tiny fire burning. The searching party took him to a deserted miner’s cabin, breaking in and giving him medical care and food. He quickly recovered. The party then pushed on and found the other man the next day. They knew searching planes would soon be overhead, so in a clearing they formed huge letters on the snow by use of boughs. The message read “FOOD 3, GRAY HERE.” Soon a plane came swooping over and wiggled its wings to show it had received the message. The plane then dropped food and provisions and notes. The pilot of that plane was one of the heroes in the book “Queens Die Proudly.” The army sent an amphibian jeep to take the party out, having to battle the huge drifts of snow. To this day, neither the plane nor the pilot has ever been found.

How to find reliable health information online

Dear Savvy Senior,

How can I tell if the health info on a website is trustworthy? I usually do a Google search on a symptom, drug or health condition when I want to research something, but with so much information out there I’m not sure what I can trust.

Skeptical Sal

Dear Sal,

You’re wise to be skeptical! There’s an overwhelming amount of health advice on the internet today and it can be hard to tell what’s credible. To help you sort through the online clutter and locate reliable, trustworthy health information, here are a few tips to follow along with some top-rated sites you can turn to with confidence.

Savvy searching

Savvy Senior, Jim Miller

First, know that Google or Bing is not always the best place to start a search. You’ll increase your odds of finding reliable health information if you begin with websites run by government agencies (identified by URLs ending in .gov), medical associations (often .org) or academic institutions (.edu).

Commercial websites (usually ending in .com), such as drug or insurance companies who may be trying to sell you their products, are usually not the most trustworthy options. To find out who’s sponsoring a site and where the information came from, click on the “About Us” tab on the site’s home page.

Also note that good health and medical information changes all the time, so check the date of publication to make sure it’s current.

Some other areas you need be wary of include online symptom checkers and artificial intelligence (AI) tools. While symptom checkers do offer potential diagnoses that could fit your set of symptoms, they are often inaccurate, and tend to err on the side of caution says Ateev Mehrotra, MD, professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School. AI tools, like ChatGPT, can also be wrong or generate false but scientific sounding information.

You also need to be cautious about using medical information from social media, online forums or YouTube. Comments in these places may sound authoritative even if the authors have no medical training or expertise.

Top health sites

While there are many excellent websites that provide reliable health and medical information, one of the best all-purpose sites that’s recommended by Consumer Reports for researching symptoms and conditions is MedlinePlus (medlineplus.gov).

A service of the National Library of Medicine, the world’s largest medical library, and part of the National Institutes of Health, MedlinePlus provides high-quality, trustworthy health and wellness information that’s easy to understand and free of advertising.

We need Option 5

Regarding the proposed jail closure: I’m wondering if “we” are cutting off our nose to spite our face by not offering Option 5 that would allow the jail to remain under the Sheriff.

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

If the real goal is to remove Sheriff Songer from the picture, I would like to point out that Sheriff Songer might be retired by the time these costly moves are implemented.

Please remember and give weight to the very favorable jail inspection report from Franklin County Jail Commander that concludes he does not think we have any problems with Klickitat County Jail.

vocabulary, pathological lying, narcissism, whining, misogyny, and racism. And his clear goal of undermining our American democracy in favor of a dictatorship.

In the face of all of this evidence, why do so many Republicans still support Trump? What is it going to take to retain and strengthen our republic in 2024?

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.

Let’s get Option 5 on the table and implemented for the best outcome for all and at the lowest cost. Keep Klickitat jobs in Klickitat County.

Steve Heitmann White Salmon

Know their agenda

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.

“I will make of thee a great nation. I will bless thee and thou shalt be a blessing. I will bless them that bless thee.” Genesis 12:1-3

They’re ‘rights’

Regarding Roger Nichols’ front page report on Sheriff Songer’s town hall meeting, I would suggest that the headline would have been appropriately read “responsibilities” of the sheriff rather than “rights.” It’s his duty to protect the rights of the citizens. It’s we whose rights are protected and his job to see to it.

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.

Rick Mercer Alderdale

In June 2015, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders warned us that Trump is a pathological liar. In August 2017, 60,000 mental health professionals signed a petition stating that Trump is unfit for office (see https://bit. ly/4dRj65p). No action was taken on this strong professional assessment, but Yale University fired the lead organizer, Dr. Bandy Lee, because she violated the 1973 Goldwater Rule and invoked the “duty to warn” requirement for professional psychiatrists. Yale administrators believed she was being “political.”

Congressional members were warned by Lee and Sanders about Trump’s psychiatric shortcomings. In April 2017, Rep. Raskin’s [D-MD] bill to establish a “commission on presidential capacity” died in committee. Congressional members concluded nothing could be done until informed Americans pushed Congress to act. Attempts to inform the public via major media were construed as “politically motivated” and thus ignored.

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.”

In regard to the current Middle East crisis: if you try to make a case that there once were an ancient Palestinian people, I am embarrassed for you. There were never any ancient Palestinian people except the group called the Philistines, which were a Syro-Phoenician people who came across the Mediterranean to settle on the coast of what is now Gaza. They became extinct not long after King Soloman. It was the Romans who called the area of Israel “Palestina” (Emperor Hadrian).

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.

Ken Margraf Goldendale

There is only one religion in the world whose existence is devoted to the total destruction of all Jews and the nation Israel—Islam. Islam is a geopolitical, theocratic, worldview system and is 100 percent incompatible with all non-Muslims (infidels).

(Qur’an 3:85)

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

Israel’s enemies say, “Let us cut them off from being a nation” Psalm 83:4. Their most trusted version of the Qur’an, translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, states:

5:51 “Do not make friendship with Jews and Christians”

2:191 “Kill the unbelievers wherever we find them”

We need strong leaders What’s most outrageous about Sheriff Songer’s guest editorial in the June 5 Sentinel is the cavalier way that he smears the character of individuals who serve the people of Klickitat County. This has long been the go-to strategy in his limited playbook. He did it to Garique Clifford when Clifford was running for sheriff, calling him a tool of the Democrats, despite his long record as a conservative Republican. Now he’s doing it to Commissioners Zoller and Anderson. In his editorial, he claims Zoller is “powerhungry.” He asserts she never gave him a chance to explain how he would improve the situation in the jail.

But Zoller did give Sheriff Songer that opportunity, in public, at a commissioner meeting in the weeks prior to the decision to pursue a contract with NORCOR. Instead of responding to her reasonable request, he erupted into shouting, claiming he didn’t have to explain anything to her.

In September 2018, Trump’s cabinet members considered invoking the 25th Amendment to declare Trump unfit to serve as POTUS (see https://bit.ly/3UXx510). Lacking the courage to invoke the 25th, they left Trump in office. He then further demonstrated his instability and unfitness as POTUS by provoking the January 6 insurrection. By 2022, Dr. Bandy Lee was fully vindicated.

Nonetheless, Trump continues to be embraced by right-wing voters and members of congress despite the many continuing credible warnings about his mental instability. And despite his now-proven criminality and immorality; convincing evidence he’s a Russian asset; his disregard for the rule of law; his penchant for dictators; his strong support of Project 2025; and, last but not least, his many character flaws—explosive temper, tiny

9:5 “Fight and slay the pagans, seize, beleaguer, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem”

9:3 “Allah and his messenger announce that it is acceptable to go back on our obligations (treaties) with pagans and make war on them”

9:14 “Fight the unbelievers” and our God “will punish them by our hands, cover them with shame, and help us (to victory) over them”

14:16 “Non-believers will go to hell and will drink boiling water”

5:33 “Slay or crucify or cut the hands and feet of unbelievers, that they be expelled from the land with disgrace and that they shall have a great punishment in the world hereafter”

Stand with Israel and be blessed.

Guidelines for Letters

A competent commissioner would have to conclude that conditions weren’t going to improve, and changes would need to be made to protect the county’s liability and reputation. That’s what Commissioners Zoller and Anderson did, and what Commissioner Christopher eventually agreed to also do. Sheriff Songer claims that Anderson “hates me” because Songer tried to have him arrested “for allowing a juvenile beer party to continue at one of the Airbnb he owns.” In fact, Anderson intervened to stop the party and took measures to ensure the safety of the juveniles. That’s why a county prosecutor declined to file charges against Anderson. We judge leaders based upon their behaviors in moments of challenge and strife. Strong leaders don’t run around yelling at good people and calling them liars. It’s a shame that Sheriff Songer cannot respond to his challenges differently.

Letters to the editor should be original and comment on an issue. Deadline for letters is noon Monday for the same week’s paper.

Requests to keep letters exactly as they were written when published cannot be honored. All letters are subject to editing for grammar, spelling, clarity, and/or brevity.

There is a suggested length limit of about 300 words, though more may be allowed if there are fewer letters.

Unsigned letters (including anonymity requests), letters with fictitious signatures, letters with multiple signatures, or letters to public officials are not accepted.

Please keep the tone of letters free of rants, wild speculation, unsubstantiated claims, or pointedly personal comments. Letters that go overboard in these directions may be refused publication.

Writers must include name, city/town of residence, and phone number for verification purposes. (Street address is not required, only city or town.)

The 2024 Glenwood Ketchum Kalf Rodeo in Glenwood was a great success. Despite the inclement weather on Saturday, the stands were full for all to enjoy the exciting events.

On Father’s Day Sunday, the weather was much improved, making the day fun and enjoyable for all the dads and their families in the audience. I don’t have results of any of the events, but the Rodeo Association will get them compiled and posted as soon as possible.

(See pictures of the rodeo on page B8.)

Former Glenwood kid Blake Masden, who now resides in Goldendale and is highly ranked in the Washington State High School Rodeo bull riding standings, competed on Sunday. Unfortunately, Blake didn’t make his 8 seconds on that day, but his hometown was thrilled to see the recent high school graduate out there competing. Blake will attend Montana State University in the fall where he’ll be part of that college’s rodeo team.

Local young cowgirl Jocee Hoctor competed in Junior Barrels on Saturday and did very well. Her beautiful horse, Jessie, had suffered an unfortunate horse shoeing accident the week prior, but with tender loving care by Jocee and her parents, Jessie was ready to run on Saturday and made her cowgirl happy and all of us who watched very proud of that great cowgirl and barrel horse team.

The wild horse races were truly wild and exciting. Those young men brave enough to hold onto and try to put saddles on bucking, kicking, and jumping horses had the audience on the edge of their seats. And the pony chariot races were enjoyed by all, but, especially, the children. The charioteers were dressed in colorful, ancient Roman costumes to match their small chariots, which were pulled by tiny matching pairs of ponies. The Wild Card Trick Riders put on a great show each day.

Very moving Empty Saddle tributes were given for longtime Glenwood Rodeo Association members Jerry Ladiges and Vern Addington. On Sunday, a special tribute was given for Kasia Hylton, a tiny 8-year-old girl who loved horses, loved performing and competing at the Klickitat County Fair and other events, and was already an excellent little rider. Kasia, daugh -

ter of Kristina Nelson and Anthony Hylton and granddaughter of Glenwood Rodeo Association members John and Kerri Hylton, died in a tragic accident while practicing with her horse last year.

Near the end of the second day of the rodeo, the Glenwood Rodeo Association members were pleased to honor longtime Association member Elizabeth Jones with the Hank Ladiges Memorial Buckle for her many years of hard work and dedication to the success of the rodeo. Elizabeth’s husband Darren and son Dalton were there with her for this well-deserved recognition.

The Glenwood Rodeo Association greatly appreciates the overwhelming support of those who came out to attend the audience and support this historic, great little rodeo. We hope to see you all back again next year for the 90th Glenwood Ketchum Kalf Rodeo.

Prior to the rodeo, Glenwood School staff and the family and friends of Debbie Woodward celebrated her retirement with a fun dinner at Ayutlense in Bingen on June 14th. Debbie grew up in Glenwood, and she and Mike raised their daughters Arlie and Ashley here. Debbie was a long-time special education paraprofessional in the Glenwood School and helped many children over the years. Her dedication to those students was very appreciated and admired. She also helped with many school functions, always present to pitch in wherever needed. We all hate to let her go, but I suspect we’ll still see her often at athletic and other school events. Thank you, Debbie, for all you’ve done for Glenwood School over the years.

Students celebrated the last day of school on Thursday, June 13, with an awards assembly for grades K through 7th. A very special and well-deserved award went to just one student, Brooklyn Branson, for another year of perfect attendance for the entire year. Brooklyn, thank you for setting a fine example for the other students. We hope you can keep up this great record and end up in the school history books along with 1959 Glenwood graduate Bun Wellenbrock.

Now school is out, the rodeo is in the history books, so just go out and have a great summer, everyone.

Tamara Joy (Tammy) Rhoades of Goldendale died from injuries sustained in a car accident on November 14, 2023, in Goldendale. She passed on November 22, 2023, in the hospital in Vancouver, Washington. Tammy was the daughter of Bob and Louise Ethridge Rhoades.

Tammy lived in Goldendale since 1985, coming here with her mother and stepfather, George Bowen, and siblings. They lived on Highway 97 in the trees with a Lake Louise-

lookalike on the property. Tammy helped her parents in all they did, then cared for each of them until their time came. She was a great manager of the property, and the rentals on it became her source of income.

She was a hard worker and could be seen most days fixing something on the property. She enjoyed fishing. She made

went camping at Yankee Fork, Idaho, and southern Utah and had many family events with the Bill Ethridge family. She regularly called family members to keep in touch with them. She will be greatly missed by all.

There will be a memorial gathering/potluck for Tammy at Columbus Avenue Baptist Church, 815 N. Columbus, on Sunday, June 23, at noon. Please join us for fellowship and to share any memories of our dear friend.

Step 3 - direct staff to prepare a supplemental budget to move jail operational funds from the Sheriff’s Department to a new Corrections Department.

Step 4 - actually transfer control of the jail to the Corrections Department, which would be under the authority of the BoCC.

Van Cleave told commissioners Step 2 had changed a bit because they have found a qualified consultant, a jail supervisor in another county who was recommended by the insurance pool to which Klickitat and 23 other counties belong and who has advised other counties about their jails.

“He’s highly recommended, and he’s willing to do it,” Van Cleave said, adding that the insurance pool would pay his travel and expenses, and he believed the sheriff in his county would cover his wages.

The person, who was not named, told Van Cleave that he would be in Goldendale June 20 and 21 with two risk management representatives of the

“This has given us a hurdle that will be really hard to overcome.”

Quinn states information on how to obtain food permits and food handlers cards for prepared foods (baked goods) is available by calling KCHD (509) 7732366) or visiting www. klickitatcounty.org/298/ Food-Safety.

Individuals who want to sell foods that are considered cottage industry foods (canned goods) can visit the Washington State Department of Agriculture for licensing information at tinyurl.com/4j9htabs.

“Klickitat County Health Department recognizes, and will continue to recognize the economic importance and benefit of small local businesses of farmers markets and the community benefit of access to healthy, local produce and foods that are prepared in a safe and healthy manner meeting state laws and rules by acquiring licenses and permits to ensure the health and safety of the public,” Quinn said. She provided a brief summary of what she said were hundreds of pages of food code regarding food permitting. Excerpts from that information follows; When is a food service exempt from a permit?

insurance pool. Van Cleave wanted to make one thing especially clear: “This is a standard operations review of a jail,” he said. “This is not an investigation or any other terminology that we’ve discussed over the last couple of months. He’s not coming on board to look at the options; he’s coming on board to do an operations review.”

He also said, “The Sheriff is supportive and looks forward to meeting with him.”

Van Cleave said the process is likely to take more than a month and the official will likely visit multiple times for several days at a time and is willing to offer additional help with the transition.

Step 3, he said, may not require a full supplemental budget, but the exact process necessary to transfer funds from the Sheriff’s Office to the new department will be discussed in the Finance Committee.

And for Step 4, he suggested the offer for an interim manager should be something like $8,000 a month without benefits for

There are certain items listed in the code specifically, but still require basic food safety practices to be followed:

• while roasted peppers

• fruits and vegetables, whole field-cut or minimally processed

a three- to six-month period. The first duty of the interim manager would be to build a project management timeline of all the pieces that have to be put in place before the BoCC could take over the jail.

In other actions, Commission Chair Lori Zoller responded to a series of Facebook posts asserting the Farmers Market was being closed and people were being told they needed cottage industry permits.

She said she’d contacted the Department of Health that morning and was told they had done a walkthrough, letting people know that selling vegetables and other uncooked items is no problem, but anyone selling food they have processed needs a permit, as required by state law.

“They assured me they are not closing the Farmers Market ever,” she said, “but they would like to encourage people to come in and get their proper permits.”

In the afternoon session, Joel Madsen of Mid-Columbia Housing Authority announced he was transitioning from that position to the agency’s development arm, Columbia Cascade Housing Authority, and the most recent session of the Washington Legislature awarded $3 million towards an assisted living facility in western Klickitat County.

The proposed facility would consist of 52 units: 36 assisted living and 16 memory care. In addition, nine of the units would be targeted at people earning at or below the area’s median income. Current estimated total cost for the facility, he said, was $23.3 million, and the agency can finance $15 million. The latest appropriation brings the project to only $3 million short.

“If it’s crunch time,” said Commissioner Jacob Anderson, “and our dollars could potentially make up

Karl Enyeart left, and the City was not able to find an immediate replacement.

Former City Administrator Pat Munyan was able to do so because he had public works experience. Without that unusual combination of skills, it did not make sense to continue the practice.

Councilor Steve Johnston noted he opposed the move initially and, by reversing it, “This is going to make it much more efficient and much more effective for the department to do its job.”

The criminal code revision dealt with changes to state code involving protection order violations.

Police Chief Mike Smith said the legislature had made changes in the law in 2020 that somehow hadn’t

• A public meeting to be held in the Board of County Commissioners meeting room Tuesday, June 18 at 1:00 PM to consider a boundary line adjustment in the White Salmon vicinity from applicant Judith Harvey.

• Extending a Community Development Block Grant agreement on behalf of Washington Gorge Actions Programs to June 30, 2025.

• A grant application to rehabilitate the exterior of the county courthouse and remodel an existing

“It’s a necessary process to adopt [the changes] now, or I won’t be able to enforce the ordinance, and that would be not a good thing.” He also mentioned an ongoing investigation in which two people were arrested and a third was being sought in connection with delivery and possession of narcotics. Some narcotics and approximately 12 guns were seized at the time.

Beyond that, he said, he couldn’t comment due to an ongoing investigation.

Fire Chief Noah Halm said volunteers were at practice when an alarm came in, and they were able to reach the fire scene in just four minutes. “The single-wide trailer was fully engulfed in

That ordinance says,

“Consumer fireworks can only be used or discharged on July 4 from 6 p.m. through midnight and December 31 from 6 p.m. through one a.m. on January 1.” And Councilor Danielle Clevidence asked the city to explore whether the empty lot on the corner of Columbus and Broadway would be suitable for the City to purchase as a parking lot. Staff agreed to look into the matter.

Monday the National Rifle Association endorsed and awarded Congressman Dan Newhouse with an “A” rating for protecting gun rights.

“Our constitutional right to bear arms should never be questioned,” said Newhouse.

“I’m proud to receive the NRA’s full endorsement which is a testament to my work to fight back against the Biden Administration’s endless drive to take away our most fundamental rights. I will never let my guard down in the fight to protect our freedom and liberty.”

“On behalf of our millions

of members across the country, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is proud to endorse Dan Newhouse for the U.S. House of Representatives,” stated Randy Kozuch, Chairman of the NRA. “Thank you for defending NRA members and law-abiding gun owners in Washington.

“We applaud your vote to prevent the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from continuing a practice that unilaterally and arbitrarily strips veterans of their ability to own a gun. We also thank you for your vote to overturn a

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) regulation that subjects virtually all firearms with attached stabilizing braces to the registration requirements of the National Firearms Act.

“Based on your consistent and proven voting record on Second Amendment issues in the U.S. House of Representatives, you have earned an ‘A’ rating from the NRA. An ‘A’ rating is reserved for a solidly progun legislator who has supported NRA positions on key votes and issues.”

The summer solstice marks the start of summer. In the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice is in June; south of the equator, it is in December.

Summer 2024 Date

According to the astronomical definition, the start of summer falls on the summer solstice. In the Northern Hemisphere, it’s the June solstice; south of the equator, it is the solstice in December.

Alternative Summer

Start Dates

Meteorologists use a different method of defining the first day of summer. And, in some countries, the beginning of the seasons is determined by average temperatures rather than fixed dates or astronomical events.

Days Get Shorter

During Summer

Astronomical summer begins at the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year. This means days get shorter during summer—very slowly at first, but at ever-larger daily intervals as the September equinox approaches, heralding the start of fall. Locations closer to the poles experience larger differences in day length throughout the year, so summer days are longer there. In Toronto, the longest day is just over 15 hours and 26 minutes long; in Miami, roughly 2000 kilometers or 1200 miles farther south, it lasts about 13 hours and 45 minutes.

Places within the polar circles experience Midnight Sun or polar day during all or part of the summer season when the Sun does not set at all.

Shorter Days, but Ris-

ing Temperatures

Although daylight hours decrease during the summer months, temperatures continue to rise in most regions. This is because it takes time for Earth, particularly its oceans, to change temperature—an effect known as seasonal lag. (As a comparison, the planet Mars has seasons but no oceans, so there is almost no seasonal lag.)

Summer Traditions and Folklore

The start of summer and the summer solstice are celebrated in cultures and religions around the world with various traditions,

holidays, and festivals.

Summer Months

In the Northern Hemisphere, astronomical and meteorological summer runs from June to September. South of the equator, it starts in December and ends in March. Read more about the history and meaning of the summer months: Northern summer months June | July | August |

September

Southern summer months

December | January | February | March

How Long Is Summer?

The Earth does not move at a constant speed in its elliptical orbit, so the seasons are not of equal length. On average, summer lasts for 93.6 days in the Northern Hemisphere and 89.0 days in the Southern Hemisphere.

Average season lengths:

• March equinox to June solstice: 92.8 days

• June solstice to September equinox: 93.6 days

• September equinox to December solstice: 89.8 days

• December solstice to March equinox: 89.0 days —Kontantin Bikos, timeanddate.com

Signifying Changes

The June solstice is often associated with change, nature, and new beginnings.

People around the world celebrate the day, which is also known as the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, with feasts, bonfires, picnics, and traditional songs and dances.

Ancient Celebration

Celebrations surrounding the June solstice have a time-honored history. In ancient times, the date of

the June solstice was used to organize calendars and as a marker to figure out when to plant and harvest crops. Traditionally, this time of year was also popular for weddings.

Stonehenge: An Ancient Calendar Organizing System?

Some historians point to Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, as evidence of the fact that ancient humans used the June solstice as a way to organize their calendars. Some believe that Stonehenge’s unique stone circle was erected around 2500 BCE in order to establish the date of the June solstice. Viewed from its center, the Sun rises at a particular point on the horizon on day of the solstice. Some theories suggest that the builders of Stonehenge may have used the solstice as a starting point to count the days of the year.

Celebrating Femininity in China

In ancient China, the solstice in June was observed by a ceremony to celebrate the Earth, femininity, and the “yin” forces. It complemented the winter solstice celebrating the heavens, masculinity, and “yang” forces. According to Chinese tradition, the shortest shadow is found on the day of the summer solstice.

Midsummer Feasts

In ancient Gaul, which encompasses modern-day France and some parts of its neighboring countries, the Midsummer celebration was called Feast of Epona. The celebration was named after a mare goddess who personified fertility and protected horses. In ancient Germanic, Slav, and Celtic tribes, pagans celebrated Midsummer with bonfires. After Christianity spread in Europe and other parts of the world, many pagan customs were incorporated into the Christian religion. In parts of Scandinavia, the Midsummer celebration continued but was observed around the time of St John’s Day, on June 24, to honor St John the Baptist instead of the pagan gods. Modern Day Celebrations In northern European countries like Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland, Midsummer is a festive celebration. When the summer days are at their longest, and in the north, it is the time of the Midnight Sun, festivals generally celebrate the summer and the fertility of the Earth. In Sweden and many parts of Finland, people dance around maypoles. Bonfires are lit, and homes are decorated with flower garlands, greenery, and branches. In the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) Midsummer is an occasion to travel to the countryside and connect with nature. New Age and Neopagan Customs There are many solstice observances held by New Age and Neopagan groups throughout the world. Thousands of people, including modern-day druids and pagans, usually gather at Stonehenge for this occasion. In some parts of the United States, events that focus on the theme of the summer solstice are held. These events include: local festivals featuring art or music; environmental awareness activities that focus on

ing natural

as a source of energy; and family gatherings.

-Carrie Classon

In the 1200’s and before Mongolia had a central government. There were different clans, or tribes, that fought for power, land and influence. When a baby named Temujin was born in 1162 no one could see the future and know that things were going to change as fast as they did. Temujin was the son of a very influential clan leader in Mongolia. His family lived a nomadic life with the tribe, following food, water and weather through the seasons. When Temujin was nine years old a rival clan leader poisoned his father. The clan left him and his mom behind to take care of themselves.

The Onon River near where

was born.

While taking care of his family, Temujin became very tough and started to show signs of leadership. As he grew up, he gathered together a misfit clan of his own and they became feared as they conquered one clan after the other across the Mongolian Steppes. Temujin married his primary wife when he was 15. Her name was Borte. It was during this time that Temujin took the title Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan means universal ruler.

The mountain Burkhan Kaldun in Mongolia, where Temujin hid out from early enemies became sacred to the empire.

Mongolia is about the size of Alaska and travel 1,200 years ago was hard. Genghis Khan made sure all of his soldiers had horses. Mongolian horses are stocky, small and sure-footed. They are also very fast. These qualities gave the Mongolian soldiers an advantage over other armies and made it possible for Genghis Khan to conquer the vast amount of land that he did.

Genghis Khan was very smart. He knew that to be taken seriously, both the Mongolian people and the conquered people needed to be happy. They not only needed a written language, but they also needed laws and punishments for breaking a law. The law that was established under Genghis was called the Jasagh. He also encouraged them to keep their native religion.

Over time, Genghis built a harem and they say he had 44 wives. It is said that he had 120 kids. Genetic testing throughout the former Mongolian empire shows 8% of all men today are directly related to the Great Khan. Scientists believe this proves that he must have had more than 120 children.

In August of 1227 the Great Khan died. His armies were in a battle in China and he made his closest advisors promise to keep his death a secret until after the battle ended. His body was taken to Mongolia but his burial place was also kept a secret. Stories say he was buried with riches, horses and slaves. Many historians and archeologists have spent years looking for the tomb but it is still lost. Would you like to be the one to find his final resting place?

At its zenith, the Mongol Empire stretched across Europe and Asia.

Genghis Kahn is featured on this Mongolian 20,000 Tugrik bill. Today, 20,000 Tugrik are worth about $5.80 in US dollars!
