TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES

AMERICA’S SWEETHEART GOES SWISS: Cute-as-a-button Shirley Temple starred as Heidi in the first film version of the famed book in 1937.

A musical version arrives July 1 and 2 from the Goldendale Community Theater.

‘Heidi’ brings the Alps to Goldendale LOU MARZELES EDITOR Written by Swiss author Johanna Spyri, Heidi was first published in 1881. Since then it’s sold some 50 million copies worldwide, placing it at the pinnacle of Swiss literary success.

It first came to the screen in 1937 with Shirley Temple in the title role. Over decades it’s been made into movies and television shows some 25 times in various iterations. The most infamous?

A 1968 TV version starring Maximillian Schell and Michael Redgrave that aired just before one of the most exciting football games ever played—which viewers didn’t see the end of because NBC left the game to air Heidi.

(Oakland scored two touchdowns in the last minute to beat the Jets 43-32. The game is still called the “Heidi Bowl.”)

There are plenty of stage versions as well, including at least nine different musicals.

One of those musicals lands in Goldendale early next month.

The Goldendale Community Theater offers its production on July 1 at 6:30 p.m. and July 2 at 2 and 6:30 p.m., both at Grace Brethren Community Church.

Tickets are $15, though discounted admission is available for $10 for those who can’t manage the

general admission charge. You can get tickets for cash at the door or pay online at goldendalecommunitytheater.com.

“Join us on a journey to a mountain in the Alps, where Peter teaches Heidi to yodel, and Heidi and Grandfather learn the meaning of family,” reads a flyer for the production. “The Goldendale Community Theater cast and crew have been hard at work, rehearsing for our inaugural show, Heidi! This delightful musical tells the adventures of Heidi who, with the help of her friend Peter, overcomes adversity and heartbreak to bring joy and strength to her new friends—Grandfather and Klara.”

The story of Heidi was originally about a five-year-old girl who is orphaned and left with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps, only to find him reticent and withdrawn. Over the course of the story, Heidi transforms her grandfather as well as a new friend struggling to deal with an infirmity.

This version of Heidi is by Sarah Schlesinger and David Evans (Theaterworks-USA version, licensed by MTI) and has beautiful and inspiring music that will have you humming it long after the show is over; it says so in its

Another eventful school year comes to a close TAYLER BRADLEY FOR THE SENTINEL

With another 180 days under their belts, the students of the Goldendale School District have made it through another great year of schooling. The kids have all grown up so much, learned many new things, and made memories with their friends. But the final bell has rung, and the 2021-2022 school year has come to an end.

This year has been a huge test for the students, teachers, and all other staff. They have overcome so many obstacles that have tested them as teachers, leaders, and students. The year started out with a big bump with many wondering what their job would look like or if they even had a job, but all of the school staff came together and got past it. The next mountain the staff

all had to climb was shortage in staff due to Covid. Many teachers covered classes and helped substitutes through the day, and other staff stepped up to positions that were very new to them, all without complaining.

The staff of Goldendale School District are strong and dedicated, and all deserve recognition.

Teachers, custodial, maintenance, administration, paraprofessionals, office staff, and all of those in between: we thank you for all of the time and energy you gave to the students this year.

The kids were also a huge part of this year’s success. They faced adversity with Covid trying to knock them down at every corner. They adjusted to playing sports different, social distancing, eating breakfast in their classrooms, and so much more.

They listened, followed direc-

GUMC Pastor retires

Goldendale United Methodist Church Pastor Joyce O’Connor-Magee leaves Goldendale soon, retiring from 40 years of active ministry. Here she shares her thoughts on a life of ministerial service that concludes with her role here in Goldendale.

The years have zoomed by, and it is time to retire.

Dictionaries define that as a time you stop working because you are old or ill. Another definition is to go to bed. Both those definitions are horrible. Retirement can be a time to move into a new adventure—even with creaking knees. Last month I was able to go to a retreat about Spirituality in Retirement. The 80-year-old Catholic sister who led the retreat gave us insights about being elderly and being an elder.

It is still a bit unsettling for me to

be automatically given the senior discount. Yes, I appreciate it, but it would be nice to be asked!

Being elderly can mean, as my father said about retirement, just waiting to die. Yet we are called to be and do more than that, for this time is a gift. The last four years—and actually throughout 40 years of active ministry—I have been given the gift of older people in the churches I have served. These are the ones I have watched cook food for the soup kitchen, visit with friends, study the Bible with renewed joy, spend time with grandchildren, and serve churches and the communities in amazing ways. They often wear me out!

For folks in the church, it makes sense since we never retire as Christians. As a pastor, retirement is a bit different. To be a

pastor is much more of a lifestyle than a job. While I will not be actively serving a congregation in the way I have, my ministry will continue. Already I am planning ways to serve. My mom is now in her 90s and needs a daughter nearby—like right next door!

As we settle back into Spokane, in the neighborhood in which I grew up, I know I will volunteer— helping out in a school or at the library. I am looking forward to taking classes and not worrying about grades! With “senior centers,” I will be able to finally take Tai Chi. Already I am booked to do pulpit supply—preaching at churches to give other pastors a break. Hopefully there is more time for baking bread and simmering stews. And finally, weekends will be times to visit our kids and grandkids. Perhaps, as Sister Barbara said, we will move from being elderly to being elders offering the wisdom of the ages to others—and be mentors for the generations after us. She said we impact up to seven generations.

Part of the next chapter is caring for people and places, for those who have been marginalized, and land that has been ill tended. Elders remember not just our past but God’s future.

Wilhite talks on her book Local author Laurie Wilhite will be speaking about her new book, Paddle to the Pacific, this Thursday, June 23, at 7 p.m. in the Camplan Room at the Goldendale Library. The multimedia presentation will share stories and photos from her kayak journey down the Columbia River from John Day Dam to the Pacific Ocean.

Signed copies of Paddle to the Pacific will be available at the end of the author talk at the Goldendale Library.

In addition, the Goldendale Chamber of Commerce now has copies of the book available for sale.

Laurie states she’s appreciative of the Chamber’s support of local artists and authors at the Information Center. They have also supported her other projects such as outdoor school and camps by helping with the costs of printing brochures, posters, and other color documents. She adds, “I was so impressed by the variety and quality of artwork, cards, and other items created by local artists at the Chamber when I stopped by last week.

Answer to last week’s Mystery Picture

This week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture Last week we had a picture of all men, so this week’s it’s all ladies.

Using our military intelligence training, we deduce this has something to do with the f lowers in the

box. And it looks like the weather was a little cold, except for the lady on the left who seems unconcerned. So who are these people? 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@golden-

dalesentinel.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.

Looking Back June 18, 1931 – 91 Years Ago

Plan to spend the fourth and fifth of July at Blockhouse Mineral Springs. Free campground, cabins and hotel services can be had on the grounds. Swimming pool, golf links, games of indoor baseball, races, greased pole climbing—and come prepared to catch the greased pig. Big dance on the night of the fourth. Lots of good shade and grass. A wonderful time awaits you all, so don’t disappoint us and come.

Paul Johnson, city superintendent of schools, and Frank Connors, a collector for the Internal Revenue Service, “collided” Tuesday afternoon—but not in the sense one would gather from the above heading. The professor and tax collector evidently had their minds on such things as school problems and tax chiselers as they were driving on East Court and Academy Streets, for they never noticed each other until their cars smacked together. We haven’t heard who is to blame, but from what we gather “the boys” are congenial and are willing to pay for the fixing of each other’s car, provided the insurance companies agree. Naturally the professor was driving on Academy and the tax man on Court.

Carl and Vivan Witt, owners of Mayson’s Furniture Co. in Goldendale, have announced plans to construct a new furniture store building on property purchased from Franklin Miller at the south edge of Goldendale. The location is on the west side of Highway 97, immediately south of the bowling alley. Construction is expected to require 75 days, according to Vay Godbey and Harold Blake, contractors. The Witts have announced that they will conduct a clearance sale of present merchandise prior to the move, and that they hope to be moved to the new location by September 1.

May 25, 1972 – 50 Years Ago

Postmaster Mike Montanye put into use a new section of 42 lock boxes at the Goldendale post office this week, bringing his total of boxes rented to 1,063. He says all will immediately be absorbed by a list of persons waiting for mailing addresses.

We’ve colorized this picture from last week to show what it might’ve looked like back then in color. In last week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture, we mentioned the year 1939 in jest, though as it turns out we may have guessed the year somewhat correctly. As this was a stationary baler, versus a pull-behind baler, the picture is thought to be from sometime in the late ’30s to early ’40s. With such a large timeframe, we were unable to look through our archives. Larry Hoctor, Mark Doubravsky, Marc Niva, Mrs. Fenton, and Dave West verified names and talked about stationary balers as well as possible locations for the picture. Most of the people were IDed by Betty Richards. Four of them were family members, after all. We then received an email and had the pleasure of meeting Steve Cunningham, whose father is in the picture and thinks the picture may have been of their place, as his dad rarely worked other haying crews. Below are some of Steve’s thoughts and recollections: In the days of stationary baling, a landowner would cut with a sickle mower, which would lay the cut material flat on the ground behind the mower. Then the hay would be raked into a windrow to dry.

Eventually, the owner of a stationary baler would arrive to bale the loose hay which could be in July or August.

Neighboring farmers would help each other, lending their labor, to bale the hay. Some crew members worked for the baler owner and were paid. A crew could work together for

Sesquicentennial Corner: Bringing Goldendale back to its roots

May 25, 1972 – 50 Years Ago

A wedge-shaped parcel of 21,000 acres of land in Gifford Pinchot National Forest was returned Saturday to the Yakama Indian Nation by an executive order from President Richard Nixon. The story was reported by Ron Kaye in the Sunday Yakima Herald Republic. The area abuts the existing reservation mostly south and east from Mt. Adams. Included in the area are the summit and the Great East side of Mt. Adams, Bird Creek Meadows, Hell Roaring Canyon, and little Mt. Adams. The action ended a 40-year-old dispute between the tribe and the government.

The question of the exact reservation boundary went back to an 1855 treaty and the subsequent discovery of what was accepted as the original treaty map. Robert Jim, chairman of the Yakama Tribal council, expressed delight with the decision and pledged to maintain existing recreational facilities.

Points to ponder: I may be a schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.

My new house has a circular driveway. I can’t get out.

If you buy a large TV, remember to put the big box it came in over in your neighbor’s garbage. That way they get robbed, not you.

My day is going so bad, if I were a politician, I’d be honest.

My darn neighbor was banging on my door at 2:30 in the morning! Good thing I was still up playing the drums.

I have an inquiring mind. Mostly it asks, “Huh?” “Doctor, help, I’m shrinking.” “Just a minute, try to be a little patient.”

If I have to work for an idiot, I might as well work for myself.

an extended time during the heat of summer. Some, using pitchforks would pile hay onto a horse drawn wagon which would be brought to the stationary baler, then return to the field with another wagon to repeat gathering hay. At the baler, someone would pitch hay into the feeder of the baler. Just behind the plunger of the baler, were persons, one on each side, who would hand twist the wires to form a knot to maintain the form of a bale. To the rear would be others who would move the hay away from the baler and stack it. Dad is seen with hay hooks in his hands.

The bales in the photo are three wire bales which weighed upwards of 150 pounds.

The belt driven baler was powered by a tractor not seen in the photo. Someone, probably the equipment owner, would maintain and operate the equipment.

It was the custom in those days for the landowner to feed the crews a midday meal.

Generally, the men went to their homes in the evening. An observation of those in the photograph, all the men are slim and buff looking. Baling hay in those days required hours of physical work. In addition, they ate well but do not show the effects of over-eating.

Eight men are shown in the baling crew photograph to put up one ton of hay. Now days a baling crew of one or two does the work of eight.

The gentlemen we have names for are, left to right: Bert Beyerlin, unknown, unknown, Bill Cunningham (back), Norman Beyerlin, unknown, Ray Beyerlin, and Floyd Milliman.

This week as well as next, our Pioneer History is a story titled “Old Klickitat Archives Tell Story of Joshua Brown” from May 28, 1942. For reading convenience we have not put in quotes.

In a nearly forgotten grave in Goldendale’s I.O.O.F. cemetery lie the remains of a pioneer who at his death 72 years ago left all his worldly wealth in a perpetual fund for Klickitat County schools.

The man was Joshua Brown, founder of this country’s unique Joshua Brown School Fund. Though many today know of the fund that bears his name, few if any living remember the man. The fund he left to the county schools today amounts to $2,765.21. Complete records are not available, but county officials believe the fund was once slightly larger.

In the years since the fund was officially established by the act of the Washington Territorial legislature back on Nov. 2, 1875, the money has been loaned and reloaned. It is impossible to know accurately the amount of interest money from these loans that has accrued to the county schools.

The figure is not less than $5,000 and perhaps nearer to $10,000.

Lived Near River Little is known today of Joshua Brown, the man. He owned a ranch in the Chamberlin Flat community. That much is known. He died on December 13, 1870. In the dusty archives of the county clerk’s office, inside the covers of a probate ledger written in longhand, is the last will and testament of Joshua Brown.

The Will was recorded Dec. 24, 1870. The text follows: “I, Joshua Brown, considering the uncertainly of this mortal life and being of sound mind and memory, Blessed Be Almighty God for the Same, do make and publish this, my last will and testament in manner and form following.

That is to say: First I give and bequeath all my property or the cash value there of to the public school fund of Klickitat County, Washington Territory, provided the cash proceeds of said property shall be constantly loaned at the usual rate of interest and only the interest upon the money be used so as to constitute this an irreducible school fund. Provided further that all of my just debts and funeral expenses be paid out of my property, and further I appoint John Burgen, of Klickitat County, my administrator to settle in a legal manner all my business affairs. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 24th day of Oct. in this year of Our Lord 1870.”

HOMETOWN

Ketchum Kalf was spectacular The 87th annual Glenwood Ketchum Kalf Rodeo was a great one. It was a bit windy, but we’ll take that over rain any day. I think the most exciting part of the rodeo for me was seeing young high school rodeo cowboys and cowgirls compete with the adults. Blake Masden of Selah, a 15-year-old former Glenwood kid, won the bull riding. He recently placed first in the Washington State High School Rodeo bull riding finals and will soon travel to the National High School finals in Gillette, Wyoming. What a thrill for all of us to watch a kid we know well compete against the men and win.

And another young cowboy with family ties here in Glenwood, 16-year-old Shane Scott, won the novice saddle bronc event. Shane is the grandson of Oop and Diane Burgin and Marilyn and the late Mike Scott and competes in Oregon High School Rodeo. He will also be traveling to Nationals in Gillette, after placing second in both saddle bronc and bull riding at Oregon State High School finals.

We also had two Glenwood cowgirls, members of the Klickitat County High School Rodeo Club, competing this year. Joslyn Arnold is 16 and competed in breakaway roping. While not placing in our rodeo, we are still so very proud of her because she will also be traveling to Gillette for the National fi nals. Peyton Sanchey is a 15-year-old who competed in the women’s barrel racing, fi nishing 7th. She will rep-

resent our state at the Silver State International Rodeo in Winnemucca, NV soon.

These rodeo athletes are all very talented and we are so proud of them and wish them well. Our two Junior High School Rodeo kids from Glenwood, Emma Patterson, and Blaine Arnold, will also be traveling to Silver State. Thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets for the beautiful quilt donated

by Terry Arnold.

The proceeds will help cover expenses for these awesome kids as they travel to Nationals and Silver State.

This year the Glenwood Rodeo Association honored Tom Burns, Ray Lemley, and Mike Scott with Empty Saddle ceremonies, paying tribute to their contributions to the rodeo. They are gone but not forgotten, and their contributions to the rodeo are greatly appreciated.

Every year the Association also honors a deserving member with the Hank Ladiges Memorial buckle. Hank was a man who put many years into making the rodeo a success before he passed, known for his hard work and dedication to the rodeo for many decades. This year the Association chose Jason Throop to receive this honor.

Jason works tirelessly during the rodeo and is always there on workdays leading up to the rodeo, doing whatever needs done to repair or improve the chutes, stands, or grounds. His family has

a long tradition here. His grandfather, Ollie Kreps was one of the founding members and his mom and dad, Jerry and Margaret Throop, have been members for many decades. In fact, Jerry received this award in 2007. Now Jason has a beautiful, well-deserved buckle to match his dad’s.

Cong ratulations, Jason.

Cedarville University student Forrest Putnam of Glenwood, son of Nate and Betsy, was named to the Dean’s Honor List for spring 2022. This recognition requires the student to obtain a 3.75 GPA or higher for the semester and carry a minimum of 12 credit hours. Forest recently graduated from Cedarville with a degree in mechanical engineering and will be traveling to Sweden where he will be living and working. Congratulations, Forrest.

And the great news about Glenwood kids just keeps on rolling in. Colton Troh, son of Bill and Toni, recently graduated with a natural resources degree from Oregon State University. With this degree, he will be able to work in the fields of fisheries, wildlife, rangeland management, and forestry.

Colton fi nished his spring quarter of college remotely while working here in Glenwood at the Yakama Nation Fish Hatchery. Congratulations, Colton. I recently wrote about Colton’s sister, Kinley, who earlier graduated with high honors from

the Columbia Basin College radiological technology program. Kinley has passed her board exams and will be working for Cascade Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in The Dalles and Hood River as their new radiological technician.

Last, but not by any means least, Tygh and Corbin Schuster, sons of Regina Eldred, both graduated from Oregon State University.

Corbin fi nished his PhD in Microbiology last year but waited until his brother finished his degree in wildlife ecology to participate in graduation so they could do it together. Tygh will be pursuing a PhD in the wildlife ecology field, then Gina will have two Doctor Schusters in the family. Congratulations, Tygh and Corbin.

Here’s another reminder that Glenwood School District is offering a summer school program to begin in July. Summer school will run July 5 through August 5, 8 a.m. to noon Monday through Thursday, for grades kindergarten through 12.

Breakfast, lunch, and transportation will be provided.

This program offers handson enrichment activities, math and literacy, mental health group and individual therapy (by parent request), and credit recovery. I hope many of our students are able to take advantage of this wonderful, free summer program. To sign up, please contact Mrs. Troh in the school office at (509) 3643438.

A tragic accident

Traffic was backed up and rerouted after a fatal car crash just outside Lyle, just west of the tunnel. It was two of our local ladies that hit head on which left one in critical condition and taken by ambulance to MCMC, and the other sad ly deceased.

The report from the Lyle Fire and Rescue is as follows: “Today around 9 a.m. we responded to a two-car headon MVA on Hwy 14 just west of the Lyle Tunnels. Both vehicles had only a driver. One driver was a fatality that required extrication tools to be removed from the vehicle. The other driver was injured and transported by ambulance to a local hospital. This kind of incident required multiple tasks. We appreciate the multiple agencies that responded including Bingen Fire, High Prairie Fire, Lyle Fire, Dallesport and White Salmon Medic, Lifeflight, KCSO, WSP, and WSDOT. Our thoughts are with the family of the driver who passed and the driver who survived with injures.” I wish to convey my heartfelt condolences for both families.

While we are on the subject of those great volunteers: Lyle Fire and Rescue is offering a cadet program that gives kids a career as an EMT or firefighter. It is an exciting opportunity available for Lyle Community School students interested in one or the other or both and earn Career and Technical Education (CTE) credits. The opportunity provides training in fire and medical service careers, as well as wildland firefighting and rescue. At the age of 18, they may apply as a regular volunteer firefighter and end the training by becoming state-certified. Then they can become cadets and be invited to apply to Lyle Fire & Rescue District No.

4 as a regular volunteer fi refighter and fi nish their training to become state certified as an NFPA Firefighter I. They can also enroll in the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program. The training can lead to part-time or fulltime jobs in fire and emergency services. Anyone interested in learning about the Cadet Program, please contact any member of the department by emailing community liaison@lylefire.com, or call the Lyle Fire Department’s non-emergency line at (541) 365-2500.

Still trying to remind you about any trip you may have that includes the Hood River-White Salmon Bridge.

Its 72-hour closure will 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, please contact the Port of Hood River via email to porthr@gorge.net.

TERESA CLYNE

FOR THE SENTINEL The United Nations adopted June 15 as Elder Abuse Awareness Day in 2011, after it was initially observed in 2006 by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse. The day was a reminder to reflect on our seniors and be proactive about their care when they can no longer care for themselves.

It is essential that seniors have the ability to maintain basic daily necessities such as food, clothing, shelter, medical care, or to manage financial affairs. If they cannot, then a caregiver may be needed.

Self-neglect is one type of abuse that often goes unrecognized. It is an “inability, due to physical or mental impairment or diminished capacity, to perform essential self-care,” as defined by the 2010 Elder Justice Act. Although elder selfneglect doesn’t involve a third-party perpetrator, it’s still considered a form of elder abuse that raises serious health and safety concerns. In fact, most reported cases of elder abuse involve elder self-neglect.

Typical signs and symptoms of elder self-neglect include: • Unsanitary living condi-

tions (foul odors, animal or insect infestations, piles of trash) • Unsafe living conditions (inadequate plumbing, heating/air, ventilation, home in disrepair) • Lack of food in the residence • Inadequate or unclean clothing (soiled, improper dress for weather/conditions) • Lack of needed medical aids (hearing aids, glasses, dentures) • Unpaid bills • Poor personal hygiene (dirty nails and skin, matted or lice-infested hair, presence of feces or urine) • Bedsores or skin rashes • Untreated infections or unattended injuries • Dehydration or malnutrition • Weight loss • Inadequate or inconsistent sleep If you suspect a case of elder self-neglect, contact your local Adult Protective Services office for further guidance. Their offices provide social services to abused, neglected, or exploited elders or adults with certain disabilities.

It can be easy to overlook some of these signs, and this month, and the annual day of recognition, reminds us how important it is to look out for elders and vulnerable adults in our communities.

She lived and resided in the home she owned in Klickitat, Washington. Cathy was a homemaker who loved to do many things such as gardening and mushroom picking. She loved nature in many ways, and it reflected in her life.

Cathy had a warm heart and cared for many people.

Her home was your home, and all the kids growing up in Klickitat felt welcomed there.

Justin William Garner, age 50, passed away on June 6, 2022, at Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland, Oregon. He was born on April 5, 1972, in Goldendale to Phil and K at hy Ga r ner, sharing his birth with his twin brother, Jesse.

From that day on, Jesse and Justin were almost inseparable.

Justin attended Goldendale schools, graduating from Goldendale High School in 1990. After graduation Justin stayed in Goldendale to work along with his father at Goldendale Tire, where he remained a faithful employee and owner until his death.

In 2001 Justin’s daughter Karlie was born. She had his heart from the first time he laid eyes on her. Daddy’s girl.

Justin was an avid fisherman. He spent any extra time he could with family and friends on the Klickitat River oaring a drift boat, patiently waiting for the next steelhead.

• Impulse buy; it may end up in the trash.

• Buy more perishables than you and your family will consume in 2 weeks.

• Put hot food in the refrigerator— this heats up the entire interior, which accelerates spoilage!

• Add non-produce materials (e.g., meat) to small compost bins/piles.

There is insufficient heat for decomposition.

PASTOR from page A1 We leave Goldendale with many wonderful memories and are blessed by many friends. The Goldendale United Methodist church is celebrating its 150th year of mission in this area. It has always been a congregation that works for the community near and far.

It is a place where folks are welcomed to ask questions, to find grace, and to live into the fullness of who we are as people of God. A little place of grace that will never retire! Thanks to them and to the people of Goldendale.

SCHOOL from page A1 tions, and they overcame.

As things lightened, the students got to participate in more activities. The last few months of school were full of those fun activities, such as agriculture day, the walk-a-thon, graduation, and the end of the year pool party—these were just a few things that made the year memorable. Every student received as much of a normal school year as possible, and we are so grateful for this.

Despite all the things that tried to knock down these teachers, students, and staff, this school year came and left just the same.

Our staff is a extra tired, but what they gave to their

students will last a lifetime.

Everything they taught them—math, science, reading, communication skills, friendships, teacher student relationships, and so many other things—will stay with these kids, and that is something they will always remember.

If you are a teacher, office staff, administration, custodial staff, literally anyone who is part of the Goldendale School District, we thank you for everything you gave to this school year. You deserve a break.

Spend some time with your families and friends, and above all, have the most fun this summer! See you next school year!

National blood shortage continues The Washington State Department of Health (DOH), in partnership with the Washington State Blood Coalition, is encouraging eligible donors to give blood this summer.

Blood centers in Washington state are preparing for the summer months ahead—which is a critical time for blood donations.

“Blood donations usually start to drop around this time of year due to summer schedules and vacations,” said Curt Bailey, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bloodworks Northwest. “But we need everyone’s help to keep our blood supply stable for those who need it.”

The call for donations this summer is especially urgent due to an ongoing nationwide blood shortage.

Earlier this year the American Red Cross announced a blood crisis, citing its worst blood shortage in over a decade. Governor Jay Inslee and Umair A. Shah, MD, MPH, Secretary of Health, have urged people in Washington to donate blood if able to do so.

“Donating blood is a safe activity that can save lives,” said Andrew Rose, COVID19 Incident Commander, Washington State Department of Health, whose team in the Office of Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response meets regularly with local blood centers to monitor safety and supply. All types of blood

are needed for cancer treatment, trauma cases, and many other situations. A donation appointment usually takes less than an hour and includes a donor screening process to evaluate each person’s temperature, current health, and travel history. Actual donation time is about 10 minutes.

“Our primary focus is to ensure a safe and reliable blood supply in our community,” says Angel Montes, Regional Donor Services Executive, American Red Cross, explaining the blood center coalition’s call to action. Christine Swinehart, Executive Director, Cascade Regional Blood Services, added, “We know that people care and will step up when they learn how important the need is.

We’re here to make the process as easy as possible.”

More information about donating blood, including how to schedule an appointment and updates related to COVID-19, is available from local blood centers: • Vitalant https://www. vitalant.org/ • Cascade Regional Blood Services https://www.crbs. net/ • Bloodworks Northwest https://www.bloodworksnw.org/ • American Red Cross https://www.redcross.org/ local/washington.html/

The Washington Outdoors Report: Outdoor news roundup John Kruse

For The Sentinel RANGE TIME FUNDAMENTALS & A NEW PUBLIC SHOOTING RANGE I had the opportunity to sight in my Henry Long Ranger lever action rifle last week at the Swakane State Wildlife Area north of Wenatchee. A part of this Wildlife Area has long been used by shooters, but recently the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife completely renovated this into what is now a very nice range.

At the range are parking stalls and a shooting area for pistol shooters on the left and rifle or shotgun shooters on the right. Backstop berms have been constructed at 100 and 150 yards respectively, and there are moveable shooting benches available at the firing line too.

If you are bringing a rifle, you’ll want to bring a chair and shooting bags to put on the benches so you can get the most stable platform for each shot. You’ll also want to bring your own targets and stakes that can be driven

into the hard ground downrange or into the soft-soiled berms.

As far as targets go, you can bring paper targets and clay pigeons all year, while steel targets can be used between October 1 to May 31. The use of tracer bullets, exploding targets, glass, household appliances, and electronics as targets are not allowed.

I had a great time shooting here on a quiet evening for the first time in a while and found the new rifle, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, shot straight and true, though the person shooting it certainly needed some practice when it came to marksmanship fundamentals like breathing and trigger control.

The shooting range at the Swakane State Wildlife Area may be the newest one, but it’s not the only one.

You can also find improved shooting areas in eastern Washington at the Methow, Asotin, and W.T. Wooten State Wildlife Areas.

One last note when it comes to keeping these ranges open for public use and maintaining a good reputation as a recreational

Friends of the Columbia River Gorge and Cate Hotchkiss

HELPING HANDS: Beacon Rock has become a state park and expanded.

shooter: please clean up after yourself. Whatever targets or target support stands you bring to the range should be packed out when you are done, along with your expended brass cartridges and shotgun shells. Leaving a littered landscape is not a good look or a responsible thing to do.

CASHMERE SALMON RELEASE PARADE Make your calendars for June 25 and take in the Cashmere Salmon Release Parade along with its associated events between 10

a.m. and 1 p.m. at Riverside Park. The event is presented by the Cashmere Library, where coho salmon fry have been raised and released for three years now. This program is a unique partnership between North Central Washington Libraries, the Cascadia Conservation District, and Cascade Fisheries.

Things kick off with crafts and hands-on activities to teach kids and adults about the salmon life cycle.

Salmon story time for the kids happens at 12:15, and at 1 p.m. there will be a short

parade where children will take the salmon to the boat launch, name each one, and release them into the river to swim to the sea. If you are interested in finding out more about this event, contact Lisa Lawless at the Cashmere Library at (509) 782-3314.

BEACON ROCK STATE PARK EXPANDS Washington State Parks announced Beacon Rock State Park is expanding, thanks to some help from the nonprofit group Friends of the Columbia Gorge and the generosity of a couple who owned land adjacent to the park.

The 4.5-acre tract of land sits on the north side of State Route 14. The owners, Sharon and John Jamieson, put the property up to sale in 2019 and wanted to sell it to Washington State Parks, but the agency didn’t have the funding for the purchase at that time. That’s when the Friends of the Columbia Gorge stepped in to purchase the land and hold it until Washington State Parks was able to acquire grant funding to purchase it and add it to their portfolio.

That sale closed on June 13.

Washington State Parks plans to construct a new parking lot, roundabout, and ADA-accessible underground pedestrian crossing here. In a press release, the agency states this will all help ease congestion, create safer traffic flow, and allow foot and wheelchair access between the north and south sides of the park. The estimated project cost will be $25 million.

Renée Tkach, a project manager with Friends of the Columbia Gorge and a local resident, said, “This project will not only provide a safer, more welcoming entrance to the park, but will be vital in helping increase accessibility at one of the most iconic recreation spots in the Gorge.”

Beacon Rock State Park offers camping, rock climbing, and hikes to waterfalls as well as a trail leading to the summit of 848-foot-tall Beacon Rock where amazing views of the Columbia River Gorge await. Some 250,000 to 300,000 visitors come to the park every year.

Forest Service invests $54 million in Pacific Northwest national forests Fol low i ng U S D A’s announcement of $503 million in new funding for conservation and outdoor projects in fiscal year 2022 through the Great American Outdoors Act, the Forest Service’s total investment in addressing the deferred maintenance backlog on Washington and Oregon forests is $54 million for 72 projects during the first two years of funding under the act.

The National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund (LRF) established by the Great American Outdoors Act provides up to five years of funding to help federal land managers address a critical backlog of deferred maintenance challenges.

Great American Outdoor investments in the Pacific Northwest include: • $9.92 million in 18 Great American Outdoors Act projects across five national forests in Washington State in fiscal years 2021 and 2022.

Five projects were funded $4.0 million in fiscal year 2021 and 13 projects were funded $5.92 million in fiscal year 2022.

• $27.69 million in 46 Great American Outdoors Act projects across 11 national forests and one national scenic area in Oregon in fiscal years 2021 and 2022. Seventeen projects were funded $20.17 million in fiscal year 2021 and 29 projects were funded $7.52 million in fiscal year 2022.

• $16.41 million in 8 Great American Outdoors Act projects at the Regional level in fiscal years 2021 and 2022.

Seven Regional projects were funded $15.91 million in fiscal year 2021 and one Regional project was funded

$0.5 million in fiscal year 2022.

“Funding for infrastructure on the National Forest System is critical to our ability to work together to support the communities we serve, to active management, and to shared stewardship,” said Lisa Northrup, USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region Deputy Regional Forester.

“This substantial backlog of deferred maintenance on roads, bridges, and recreation facilities on public lands impairs our ability to provide outdoor recreation opportunities, respond to wildfires, and support rural economic prosperity. These important investments will help us do our part in fulfilling America’s commitment to maintaining national forests and grasslands for the benefit of people today, and for future generations,” she said.

In Washington state, projects funded for fiscal year 2022 include $1.55 million for the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest for continued road, bridge, recreation site, and trail work along the South Fork Stillaguamish River and Mountain Loop Highway corridor. The forest also received $480,000 for deferred maintenance, a trail bridge, and dam rehabilitation at the Heather Meadows Trail recreation site.

The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest received $150,000 in fiscal year 2022 for work on the Selkirks to Surf: North Cascades Recreation Scenic Corridor project.

The Gifford Pinchot National Forest received $970,00 for water system repairs at La Wis Wis campground.

In Oregon, the Ochoco

National Forest received $2.4 million in fiscal year 2022 funding for road maintenance on high recreation and timber roads. The Siuslaw National Forest received $650,000 for roof and gutter repairs and replacements at several visitor centers.

Mt. Hood National Forest received $4.8 million to continue critical boiler system updates at the historic Timberline Lodge.

The Forest Service has allocated $500,000 to improve aquatic organism passage in Washington and Oregon, which will help fund projects that remove barriers that block the upstream passage of many species, including threatened and endangered salmon, steelhead, and lamprey.

For information on specific GAOA projects, check out the GAOA Forest Service dashboard at: https:// bit.ly/399Kcbt.

The Great American Outdoors Act also provides permanent annual funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The Forest Service administers two Land Water Conservation Fund programs – the Forest Legacy Program and the Land Acquisition program.

In Fiscal Year 2021, the Forest Service invested $14 million dollars in Forest Legacy program projects in Oregon and Washington and nearly $11 million dollars in National Forest System Land Acquisition projects in the Region.

In Fiscal Year 2022, the Forest Service is investing $5.97 million dollars in Forest Legacy Program projects in Oregon and Washington.

Of this, $3.87 million allocated to the Nason Ridge

project in Washington and $2.1 million allocated to the Spence Mountain Forest project in Oregon.

The agency will invest $2.437 million dollars in the Land Acquisition Program this year through one project – the Washington Cascades

Project.

Together, these investments conserve critical and strategic lands across the nation’s forests and grasslands and enhance recreational access to existing public lands, conserve working timberlands vital for local

economies, and protect critical watersheds.

t r a h r a E Amelia

125 years ago a little girl was born in Atchison, Kansas.

The world in 1897 was very different than it is right now.

Most people didn’t have cars, electricity or even running water in their homes. This was a time when the industrial revolution was changing how things were made and railroads were making travel and moving goods across the country easier. Amelia Earhart was born at a time where the world was changing fast and no one could have guessed that she would become a pioneer setting world records, and doing things that no woman had ever done. Yet she did become a world famous aviator. She even wrote some books.

Paper Plane!

She had one sister named Muriel and they were very close. Both Muriel and Amelia liked playing sports, collecting bugs and catching frogs. After a trip to St. Louis, Missouri to the World’s Fair the two sisters built their very own rollercoaster. Amelia crash landed during the test drive of the rollercoaster. She wasn’t injured badly and she told people who asked that it felt like she was flying. Three years later she saw her first airplane, On December 28, 1920 Amelia Earhart’s dad took her to an airshow in Long Beach, California. She got to fly in an airplane that day and loved it. Just one year later Amelia took a test and got her pilot’s license. She had already bought her first plane. It was bright yellow and she named it The Canary.

Scan this for a video about the disappearance of Amelia Earhart.

Amelia set her first official record in 1928 when she flew across the Atlantic Ocean with Wilmer Stultz and Louis Gordon. She said in an interview that it wasn’t her record until she flew it alone.

In May of 1932 she finally completed her solo flight across the Atlantic becoming the first woman to do it. She had also set a number of records for speed, and after the Atlantic crossing Amelia got medals from the United States, France and the National Geographic Society. Getting those medals was something that had woman before. n e v e r happened to a Amelia’s airplane was a Lockheed Model 10-E Electra.

The Purdue Research Foundation bought Amelia Earhart a new plane when she said she wanted to circumnavigate, which means fly around, the world. She named the plane The Flying Laboratory. In 1937 she and Fred Noonan began their trip in Oakland, California. They flew across the United States to Miami, Florida to South America, Africa, India, and Lae, New Guinea. The next part of the flight was supposed to be from Lae to a tiny island named Howland Island.

The plane took off from Lae on June 2, 1937. Radio contact was lost and the two were never heard from again. What happened during those last hours? Where did her plane crash? The United States Navy spent many hours searching and never found the crash site. Amelia Earhart was declared dead in 1939 even though her plane was never found.

Thomson Overlook dedicated Maryhill Museum of Art dedicated a new overlook to long-time Museum supporters Sandy and Helen Thomson last month at the Museum.

With the completion of the museum’s West Side Landscaping Project, the new scenic walk and viewpoint along the Southwest edge of the grounds includes an overlook in memory of Sandy and Helen Thomson.

TAYLER BRADLEY

Sandy was a trustee and board president, and his wife, Helen, a dedicated volunteer. Both were long-term supporters of the museum.

The overlook barrier was designed and built by sculptor Tom Herrera of Mosier, Oregon, and his work, Queen for a Day, a 2006 Gift of the M M Arthur G. Dunn Guild, has HONORING A SPECIAL COUPLE: A new overlook at the Maryhill been installed here.

Museum of Art was recently dedicated.

lic Lands Hilary Franz. “We have already made great progress working across all land types to reduce wildfi re risk and restore forest health on hundreds of thousands of acres. We worked tirelessly last year to secure unprecedented funding for wildfi re response and forest health with House Bill 1168. Adding the Central Washington Initiative and funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will help us treat unhealthy forests at the pace needed to protect our most vulnerable communities.”

The Central Washington Initiative landscape stretches from Winthrop to Naches and includes lands managed by DNR, the Forest, and their partners. The agencies will jointly treat approximately 35,000 acres per year using the all lands, all hands approach central to Washington state’s 20-Year Forest Health Strategic Plan: Central and Eastern Washington. This strategic plan, introduced in 2017, sets a goal of restoring the health of 1.25 million acres of state, federal, Tribal, and private land.

“The Forest and DNR have a history of successful partnership in Central Washington,” said Okanogan-Wenatchee Forest

Supervisor Kristin Bail.

“We are excited to build on our previous successes with this commitment to the Central Washington Initiative landscape. The Central Washington Initiative will join targeted investments from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, House Bill 1168, and other sources at a scale needed to address the risk of large, destructive fi res, which are so impactful to our communities. An all-lands approach is essential to address the wildfi re crisis, and with DNR’s responsibility for forest health across non-federal lands, they are a natural partner for these efforts.”

Tillicum Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project The Good Neighbor Authority (GNA) agreement signed in 2017 by DNR and the U.S. Forest Service is crucial to the Central Washington Initiative. The Forest and DNR recently used the GNA to implement the Tillicum Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project on the Entiat Ranger District.

Located within the Central Washington Initiative landscape, this non-commercial hazardous fuels reduction project spans than 4,000 acres northwest of Entiat. As one of the 39 priority areas defined

within the 20-Year Forest Health Strategic Plan, DNR put forward $3.3 million of funding from House Bill 1168 for the project, a massive undertaking to reduce wildfi re fuels and restore the nature forest structure in one of the most fire-prone areas of Washington. It is a proof of concept for forest health and restoration projects at a landscape scale.

“The Tillicum Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project shows what we can accomplish together when we leverage the needs and resources of Washington and the Forest Service to achieve our shared goal of ensuring future generations reap the benefits of healthy forests,” said DNR Federal Lands Program Manager Trevor McConchie.

Joint tour of Tillicum Project DNR and the Forest hosted a field tour of the ongoing Tillicum Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project on June 16. Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz, Forest Supervisor Kristin Bail, State Forester George Geissler, and project managers from both agencies were on hand to speak to key aspects of the project, the MOU, and the Central Washington Initiative.

New dog breed study could have far-reaching impacts in animal welfare A new study published in Science by Kathleen Morrill, a dog geneticist at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, and her colleagues showed that predicting dog behaviors was not based on breed, but rather inherited genes.

Not one single behavior stereotype, such as howling in beagles, was exhibited in all dogs of a certain breed.

Better indicators for certain behaviors (though not most of them) are a dog’s sex and age.

“This is such exciting news.

Best Friends Animal Society has been saying for decades that all dogs are individuals, and this study further proves it,” said Julie Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society. “These findings could have far-

reaching positive impacts in animal welfare, whether it’s increasing adoptions of large-breed dogs to helping families with dogs fi nd housing more easily to ending breed-based restrictions in communities.”

The animal welfare organization proved its commitment to the “all dogs are individuals” philosophy in 2007. When other groups were pushing for euthanasia of the dogs rescued from Michael Vick’s busted dogfighting ring, Best Friends agreed to take in as many as allowed (ultimately 22) to rehab or give a permanent place to live. Renamed “the Vicktory Dogs,” many went on to find loving homes.

“The Vicktory dogs are a prime example of how we should never judge a dog by

check. Good work to all the ladies.

Continuing through the events, in tie-down roping, Jason Minor of Ellensburg took home the win. But Centerville’s Curtis Kayser made sure he got his job done quick and received a fi fth-place check. In steer wrestling, JJ Rosenburg fl ipped his steer in 5.7 seconds for the win. Jarin Ladiges, a Klickitat County resident, held his own and got the job done fast enough for 4th place. The team roping event is always a favorite for the county with many residents competing in it, and this year some locals were able to get the win. Mason Chambers and his uncle , Mike Thiele, got their steer roped the fastest for the big winnings. Local brothers Jaylin and Johnathan Throop also got their names down for a check placing 4th. Lastly, in team roping, Wade Meeske and his brother-in-law, Kane Thiele, rounded out the top 6 for money. In the final event of the rodeo, bull riding, Goldendale’s very own Blake Masden held on for the eight seconds and scored 82 points for the win.

Glenwood’s rodeo is one with some great views of the mountains, lots of memories, fun, and rowdy action in the arena. What a weekend, and a terrific way to celebrate with dad. If you missed it this year, be sure to put it on your calendar for next year!

FOR THE SENTINEL

DNR partners with Forest Service on initiative The Washington Department of Natural Resources and Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region will collaborate over the next decade to complete 350,000 acres of landscape restoration and wildfire risk reduction on the OkanoganWenatchee National Forest.

This collaboration—known as the Central Washington Initiative—will be implemented as part of the federal government’s 10-Year Wildfire Crisis Strategy with funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz and Regional Forester Glenn Casamassa have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to formalize the ongoing partnership between DNR and Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest (Forest), as well as their shared commitment to increasing the pace and scale of forest restoration in Central Washington.

“The Central Washington Initiative adds to the already impressive list of transformative actions we and our partners have taken to address the wildfire and forest health crisis in the Evergreen State,” said Commissioner of Pub-

GOLDENDALE, WASHINGTON

its looks,” Castle said. “The study’s findings could be especially positive for pit bull type dogs, Rottweilers, Dobermans, German Shepherds, and Chows, which often have an unfair stigma attached to their breed.”

Another finding of the study showed that more than half of the 18,385 owners cited had a mixed breed or “mutt,” which are plentiful at shelters.

"Whether it’s a mixed breed or a purebred, our message is to give adoptable dogs a chance based on their personality, not their physical characteristics. The most important criterion is whether a dog is a good match for your lifestyle,” Castle said. “Shelters and rescue groups are experts at helping facilitate matches,

so we encourage potential adopters to really consider every kind of dog when looking for a new best friend to bring home.”

Best Friends Animal Society has also taken on issues such as ending breed-based restrictions by governmentfunded housing authorities across the country and ending insurance companies’ use of dog breed as criteria to reject or deny a homeowner’s coverage.

“Putting an end to these outdated policies will help remove the barriers for families who own big dogs or are looking to adopt,” Castle said. “This study can help shelters find great homes for dogs, as well as prevent families from having to surrender their beloved pet.”

Father’s Day weekend is the set dates for the annual Ketchum Calf Rodeo in Glenwood. It is the second of the three rodeos held in Klickitat County each year.

This is always a fun one for those in the area. Memories are always made, and traditions are continued.

This year the rodeo kicked off with some live music in the beer garden Friday night. Then there were two days fi lled with rodeo fun for all ages. They had mutton busting for the younger kids, NPRA rodeo action, youth barrels, and the empty saddle that represents one of the residents who passed in the last year.

Needless to say, this rodeo is one that is a must for anyone to come and see.

After two days of rodeo, the winners were crowned and checks were passed out.

Starting out with the ladies, breakaway roping was won

by Jordan Minor of Ellensburg, but the county had three girls who roped their calves fast enough for a check. Charley Meeske won 3rd, Jorgia Bean won 4th, and Kayde Akins won 5th.

All three of these ladies are great ropers in the county.

Moving onto barrel racing, Rio Schmidt ran the fastest time of the weekend, but Glenwood’s hometown girl, Peyton Sanchey, and her horse ran their hearts out around those three barrels and snuck in for a 7th place
