Mosbrucker on prisons, public safety LOU MARZELES EDITOR Rep. Gina Mosbrucker (R-Goldendale) recently got out of prison.

Of course she was there just as a visitor. And it wasn’t just one prison; it was several. And they weren’t in the U.S.—they were in Norway. In that nation, despite criticism from some quarters for running “luxury prisons,” the recidivism rate (the percentage of incarcerated people who end up back in prison within five years of their release) is under 20%.

As a frame of reference, the recidivism rate in the U.S. is about 70%. In this country, crime does pay—you get a roof over your head, meals, and a steady job.

The downside is, you’re behind bars, you have awful accommodations, and generally the attitude toward you is more punitive than rehabilitative.

But wait. Norway’s cells are al-

STARK CONTRAST: Prison cells in America and Norway are very different. Rep. Gina Mosbrucker went to Norway to see for herself. most like dorm rooms. They’re painted with nice colors. They have windows, not bars. They have nice furniture, sometimes bookcases, pictures, musical instruments. They wear their own street clothes. And only one meal a day is provided to them; the other meals they have to cook for themselves. There is very little violence in Norwegian prisons.

But prisoners still stay out after they leave? Why aren’t regular people committing crimes just to get into Norwegian incarceration?

Mosbrucker was in Norway touring prisons along with other Washington legislature members to get a first-hand look at the stark differences in incar-

ceration between American and Norwegian prisons, with a view toward seeing if that Scandinavian system might work better here. Indications are indeed promising.

In Norway, prison guards are often young women who say they love their jobs. They say they get to help people. Here, guards often say they’re there to ensure the punished know they’re being punished. In Norway, they say American prisons treat prisoners like “kicked dogs.”

“And you have so many homegrown terrorists there,” one Norwegian prison official told Mosbrucker. She asked what that meant. Answer: mass shooters.

Shares the Warmth during Tree of Joy needs donors Windermere winter months Tamara Kaufman

For The Sentinel The call for donors is in high gear to meet the demand for the Tree of Joy holiday gift project in Klickitat and Skamania counties.

The goal is to help families in need by providing new essential items such as winter coats, hats, gloves, clothing, and shoes, with other gifts and toys to brighten a child’s holiday season.

Tree of Joy is coordinated through Washington Gorge Action Programs (WAGAP), primarily through the Bingen Food Bank, which assists with a wide range of clients from Klickitat and Skamania counties.

“Donor count is down this year,” said Leslie Naramore, WAGAP executive director.

“We are noticing the trend that started during COVID-19 is continuing.” She explained that a shift to remote work seems to have disconnected workers from holiday activities with their companies that support local communities.

T r ad it ion a l ly, when employees were at office locations, past Tree of Joy efforts centered around hanging gift tags in lobbies on trees or decorations, where workers could see the holiday effort daily and get excited to participate. It created a friendly competition as wishes were fulfilled and gifts were placed under trees until delivered to WAGAP for distribution.

“What we haven’t seen is a corresponding decrease in requests from families,” Naramore said. “If anything, the demand is higher as our supply is dwindling. So we want to engage with local businesses and individuals to join the program. Donors from the past are encouraged to rejoin the effort, and we invite people who have never done it before to make this their first year of Tree of Joy giving.”

In recent years, the program rose from 200 to 300 children registered, but the team is concerned it won’t be able to help all children this year due to a lack of donors.

Donors are welcome to shop for individual children and family groups or to donate money, and then staff will shop to fulfill wish lists.

For individuals and organizations interested in joining this year’s Tree of Joy effort, contact Modesta Espinoza at clerk@wagap.org or call (509) 493-2662 extension 200 for further questions or instructions. Let her know how many children your organization can support.

Donor shopping lists will be available by November 21 in advance of Thanksgiving. Gifts should be wrapped, clearly indicate family and child numbers, and be returned to the Bingen Food Bank by December 18, in time for the families to pick gifts up starting December 19.

“We are always so thankful for neighbors who step up to help children in our community,” Espinoza said. “A small contribution can go a long way for a family in need.”

As the coldest months of the year approach, brokers from Windermere Real Estate are teaming up to Share the Warmth and help provide winter necessities for those in need. As part of the annual campaign, the Windermere offices in the Columbia River Gorge area will be collecting donations from November 8 to December 20 to benefit the Gorge Warming Shelter, the Washington Gorge Action Program, and the Youth Empowerment Shelter. The organizations are specifically asking for blankets and coats in all sizes.

Those who want to help can stop by participating Windermere offices to drop off donations. In the Columbia River Gorge, donations can be dropped off on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at any of the following Windermere drop-off locations: • Goldendale: 103 E Main St. • Bingen: 106 W Steuben • Stevenson, Washington: 220 SW Second St. • Hood River, Oregon: 501 Portway Ave. (3rd Floor) • The Dalles, Oregon: 122 E 2nd St.

“Year after year, Share the Warmth brings together Windermere Real Estate brokers and caring community members to ensure our neighbors are well-equipped for winter,” said Scott Mitchelson, president of Windermere Services Company in Oregon and SW Washington. “This campaign is one of the many ways our brokers are collectively committed to helping the communities they serve.”

About Windermere Real Estate Windermere Real Estate is the largest regional real estate company in the West-

ern U.S. with over 300 offices and 7,000 agents in 10 states.

Last year, Windermere closed 67,000 home sales for more than $43 billion in volume.

Answer to last week´s Mystery Picture

This week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture We’re guessing the guy on the right just told the other two men the funniest joke in the world. (In case you’re wondering, it’s: What do you call cheese that isn’t yours?

Nacho cheese.) The sheer hilarity on the faces makes you want to smile. But who are these people? When was this picture taken? Where?

Why? All we know is that

this picture ran in The Sentinel sometime, lost in the annals of yesteryear. If you know anything about it, please drop us an email (info@goldendalesentinel.

Two people were able to identify these people.

One was longtime county resident, O.J. Hecomovich, who let us know that this is Agnes Miller (with the white hair in the middle), with Agnes’ daughter, Mary (to the left of Agnes) who is holding Travis.

Mary Pierce of Glenwood adds this was the Miller family in 1994 when they

were awarded that year’s Cattleman of the Year. This picture shows four generations of the family, with Agnes, Mary, Mary’s son Harry and his wife Chris, with their children Travis and Vicky. Harry and Chris still operate the ranch with Travis and his wife, Kelly, and a new generation of little cowgirls.

Old “Mother Measles” with her family arrived in Goldendale last week for her annual visit. Not being able to find accommodations at one place, she found quarters for the whole outfit in different parts of the city and went in uninvited. The result is there are several cases of measles in the vicinity, which seemed to have broken out all at once.

November 11, 1943 – 80 Years Ago

There is at least one volunteer worker who is “practicing what she preaches,” that of giving at least one day’s wages to the United War Fund campaign that is now underway. Bessie Hornibrook, Goldendale’s largest poultry operator, contributed all the money derived from her laying hens last Wednesday. A total of 440 eggs were gathered during the day, which were figured at five cents each, making a total of $22 as her contribution to the worthy cause.

If all citizens in the county would contribute one day’s wages, there would be no question regarding the outcome of the drive.

Walking into the Blockhouse store is like turning the calendar back fi fty years. The old building itself reflects the age of the business with its false front and porch; it looks like something from the set of a western movie. The store itself is one of the few remaining country general stores. In stock are groceries, hardware, some cloth and thread and gas and oil, as well as some automobile supplies. A big wood burning stove surrounded by what was at one time comfortable chairs adds to the traditional country store as do the buckets, oil cans, lengths of stove pipe and all sorts of merchandise hanging from the ceiling. On the floor are kegs of nails, hundred-pound sacks of sugar, blocks of salt and other heavy articles. Albert and Harriett Kayser started the Blockhouse store in the early 1870’s.

There were only four settlers and the old Blockhouse in the area when the business first started. In its early days the old store was a trading post and gathering place for the Indians as well as the few white men in the vicinity.

The original store building was torn down in the early 1900’s. In 1907 the present building was moved from across the road, it was originally a hotel used by travelers from The Dalles to Fort Simcoe on the old military road. In 1892 when the hotel belonged to John Cleaves there was a murder in the building. John Green killed a man named William Dunn in a heated argument over some cattle.

November 11, 1961 – 62 Years Ago

Add to Sights Seen on Main Street: an automobile impaled upon a parking meter, which it had overleaped in a burst of parking enthusiasm. It was attended by a driver, who with the aid of friends was attempting to rescue the vehicle, quietly and inconspicuously, before it bled to death (or nosy officials appeared on the spot.) This was difficult, to phrase it gently. However, a rescue was eventually effected, and nothing remained to mark the scene but a pool of petroleum gore and a meter that may never feel the same again.

October 31, 1963 – 60 Years Ago

Although the red fox is an eastern animal, it was introduced to western Oregon and Washington some years ago.

This animal has never been known in this area. Tuesday, however, one was run over as he attempted to cross the new Highway 8 on Chamberlain flats. Fred Cochran, who lives at Jaydee Trailer City, thought he had run over a dog and went back to investigate. What he found was obviously a fox, about half-grown, red on its back and white underneath. He showed it to Walter Thompson near whose place the animal was struck. Both Thompson and Cochran, who first came to this area in 1925, said they had never heard of foxes in the wild in this region. Game Protector Richard Thompson said that two kinds of foxes are found in Washington: a small native fox found in the Cascades, and a variety of Eastern Red Fox, which comes from stock introduced into the Willamette Valley and north of Vancouver.

October 25, 1973 – 50 Years Ago

Surely the oldest active follower of World Series baseball in Goldendale must be Jim Shelton, who at 96 placed his bet on the Oakland A’s and thoroughly enjoyed collecting from his friends. Jim, beloved to many generations of students as the janitor at the old high school in the days before the title became “stationary steam engineer” or “custodian,” has been famed over the years for his love of betting on the ball games with many townspeople and teachers. Perhaps the highlight of his life was many years ago when a “mystery fund” was collected from townspeople who had no idea what they were donating for, but they had been assured that they could get their money back if they did not approve. Not one soul claimed a penny when it was discovered the fund was to “send Jim Shelton to the World Series.” He was perhaps the most thrilled man in the stands.

Points to ponder: I think the Discovery Channel should be on a different channel every day.

I asked my boss if I could leave early, and he said only if I could make up the time. I said, “Okay, it’s thirty-five past fi fty.”

A police officer pulled me over and knocked on my window. I said, “Just a minute, I’m on the phone.”

Jackie: “What happened to that dumb blonde your husband used to hang out with?”

Jill: “I dyed my hair.”

From September 25, 1952: Runaway mama bear roped by pursuers, but she proves to be too much heft to handle There was plenty of excitement at the Bob Bellamy place at Blockhouse at breakfast time Monday morning when a black bear and her pair of frisky cubs ambled across the field toward the ranch. The sheep and cows started kicking up a fuss when they spotted the bears, and Bob went to investigate.

He and his neighbor, Clarence Schroeder, jumped into their cars, the families came along, and breakfast was forgotten. It was 7 a.m.

Maynard Bennett, the driver for the Green Medo dairy, was passing the place on his way to Klickitat when he saw the uproar and so joined the chase.

The two cars lurched across the field, and the bears scattered. Finally, the pursuers ran the cubs into a woodlot, and the cubs took to the trees.

The irate ranchers got out of the cars and followed. One cub, apparently angered by the audacity of the pursuers, shinnied down the tree to take a swipe at Schroeder, who said the claws looked like they were a foot long.

After a while of this, the residents hightailed it back to their cars, their appetites whetted for breakfast. As they went back to the house, about 9 a.m., who should meander into the farmyard but the mama bear, evidently

looking for the treed cubs?

Away the chasers went again, this time determined to rope the big 250-pounder, Maynard reports. He was delegated to ride a fender and rope the beast while Bellamy drove. Schroeder had meantime gone back home.

This sport soon proved unhealthy, Bennett told The Sentinel, and after twice catching the mother, they gave it up as too much bear.

Bennett made one pass at the bear, roping her head, but she slipped out of the noose and sidled over to the car to snip at the wheels and at Bennett’s feet. He promptly hoisted his feet to safer heights, but Bellamy, who could not see the bear running abreast of the front wheel, kept spinning along, much to Bennett’s discomfort.

The mother bear veered off, and Bennett swung his lariat again, looping her around the leg. But he couldn’t hold on to that much bear, and the chase was abandoned. The bear took to the woods.

Various theories are being advanced for the boldness of bears coming out of the woods this time of year.

Some claim the berry crop is too scarce this year to satisfy the bears, others that the bear population is getting too large for the available feed.

Foiling home improvement focus • Get written estimates and read the contract carefully.

• Don’t pay the full amount up front. A down payment will likely be required, but avoid those who want full payment upfront. scams and fraud Let me remind you once more to remain vigilant and remember - you are not obligated to proceed if The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has received 109,000 reports of home remodeling scams since 2007.

During that time, the frauds have lost nearly $207 million.

However, given that many scam victims choose not to disclose the crime, that might only be the tip of the iceberg.

Regretfully, con artists frequently target elderly homeowners, believing them to be more affluent and susceptible to memory or cognitive issues.

Some contractors are Hancock, questionable and just want to get rich quick; their caliber of workmanHancock ship is not given much weight.

Advisors Then there are the real con artists who take advantage of you and your LLC house, leaving you with nothing but false promises. Their sole intention is to defraud you of your money and leave you with nothing.

Trust but verify How can you tell if a contractor might not be reputable? According to the FTC, these behaviors are red flags: • Scammers knock on doors, claiming to be “in the area” looking for business.

• Scammers claim they have materials left over from a previous job, which will save you money.

• They pressure you into an immediate decision.

• They ask you to pay for everything upfront and/or only accept cash.

• They ask you to get the required building permits.

• Scammers suggest you borrow money from a lender they know.

• They won’t sign a contract but insist on a handshake deal.

These seem almost obvious, but con artists don’t become con artists without learning the art of persuasion. They put you at ease. They engender trust, and your guard comes down.

Be alert. If something doesn’t feel right, you are under no obligation to move forward. Call a trusted friend or advisor to discuss your thoughts.

How to avoid scammers Here are some ways you can greatly reduce your odds of being victimized.

• Consider only contractors who are licensed and insured.

• Get recommendations from family and friends.

• Check with the local Home Builders Association and consumer protection officials to see if they have complaints against a contractor.

• Research a business online and read reviews but keep in mind that they may not be perfect. Instead,

Some 300 diners supported the senior class

Last week I mentioned that it takes a village to make great things happen in our little community, That was so true last Friday evening as close to 300 diners enjoyed the Glenwood High School senior class prime rib dinner. I poked my head in the kitchen in the early afternoon and saw the members of the senior class, their parents , and others who don’t even have a child in the senior class working hard to put it all together.

The prime rib was seasoned and cooked to perfection , and all the sides to go with it were very tasty. It was a

tremendous amount of hard work to bring it all together, but they pulled it off with flying colors. It was so great visiting with friends, many from other communities who came to support the senior class. Thank you , kids , parents , and other volunteers for putting on such a great event for our community.

The Glenwood School is hosting its 2023 Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday, November 22 , starting at 10:45 a.m. This is a wonderful tradition that has continued for several generations. Some of our Glenwood senior citizens can remember those special school dinners when they were in school here. Please call Mrs. Troh at the school office , (509) 364 - 3344 , to inquire about meal prices and make your reservations for this always - delicious dinner. Following the

dinner, students and staff will head home to enjoy their long Thanksgiving weekend.

The Glenwood Middle School boys basketball team has started their season of play with a game in Trout Lake on Thursday, the 16th at 5:30 p.m. It ’s not a long drive, so if you can , please head over to support our small but determined team this year. They ’ll have a home game in our gym on Monday, November 20, with Bickleton . That game also starts at 5:30 pm.

Heavy rain can bring falling rocks

If you can’t remember the last time you changed the battery or tested your smoke alarm, now is the time to do it! Don’t wait for your house to fill with smoke to realize your smoke alarm doesn’t work! And while we’re at it , have you ever checked your fire extinguisher ? Better safe than sorry— protect yourself , and loved ones, in all situations to feel a little more relaxed about future problems.

On Wednesday, November 8, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. the students of the Lyle REACH afterschool program joined many government conservation and education agencies in the project of planting native plants at an area called Klickitat Mile One , one mile north from the mouth of the Klickitat River from Lyle on Highway 142 . The USFS owns 17 acres at this site and is in the midst of a conservation/ improvement

project to make a day- use happy memories. If you are park for the public.

Hopefully they bring their families to his beautiful spot to see their endeavors to ensure future

be aware of the areas where rocks normally fall, so please slow down and keep a good eye on the road especially at night!

Some veterans and survivors of veterans look forward to the Veterans Day Parade in The Dalles each year. Recently, after receiving only three applications for the parade, the Chamber of Commerce posted a notice that “ Due

to low minimal parade entries , the 2023 Veterans j)ay parade is canceled ” How did the public react?

Immediately the calls came flying in —with the Chamber announcing later that the parade was back on the program , and perhaps stronger than ever! It’s good to know that the families . . and survivors still wish to honor those who have served and /or given all.

I received reports that both the Christmas Bazaar and the Columbia Grange’s Anniversary Party and Pie Auction had successful events with one of the pies huckleberry— selling for a whopping $100! That , my friends, is awesome!

OBITUARY

Holly Dohrman Holly Dohrman, 1968 2023 On F riday, November 10, at 7:15 a.m., Holly broke free of cancer's hold and started her amazing journey to Heaven. She was surrounded by her family telling her how much we love and will miss her. Never have I seen anyone fight so hard with so much grace and courage.

Services are planned for 10 a.m., Saturday, November 18, 2023, at the Goldendale Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (104 W McKinley St, Goldendale).

Graveside Rites will follow at the Lyle-Balch Cemetery.

Holly was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend to so many. Her presence will be sorely missed. There is defi-

nitely a huge empty space in our hearts.

We would like to thank everyone for their support and prayers over the past year and especially over the past month. Bob, Nick, and Eric are so grateful.

In lieu of flowers, Bob is asking that people make a donation to The Mason Kane Foundation, 1025 Meadow Lane, Alberton MT 59820, in memory of Holly. Thank you again for your continued support and prayers.

Arrangements are under the direction of Columbia Hills Memorial Chapel, 300 W. Broadway, Goldendale, (509) 772-2636. Visit www. gardnerFH.com to share a story or leave a note for family.

Klickitat County Historical Society annual meeting Following are notes from Richard Lefever from the annual meeting of the Klickitat County Historical Society, held on October 28.

Extra chairs were required for the enthusiastic crowd attending the recent Klickitat County Historical Society (KCHS) annual meeting at the Goldendale Grange Hall. It felt like everyone in town came out to share history and eat pie.

Board President James Radcliff welcomed the attendees while Treasurer Dennis Birney provided a recap of the KCHS year.

Seven hundred and forty paying visitors toured the museum during the recent season, 609 from outside of Klickitat County, mainly from the I-5 corridor.

Guests also included families from England, Germany, and Israel.

A big thank you was given to the group of 20 Presby hosts who greeted C visitors during the sum- ARREST MADE: Sheriff August Schuster (Daniel Lefever) captures mer months.

engine. A single spinning shaft running throughout the building kept all the pulleys and belts whirling.

At peak production, the facility produced 100- to 196-pound wooden barrels of flour each day. In 1893 it exported 1,000 barrels of flour a month to China.

Cotton flour sacks replaced wooden barrels during World War I. At the height of the depression, cotton flour sacks were in demand for making clothes. The first flour mill was destroyed by an early morning arson fire on its dedication day in 1876.

The highlight of the annual meeting was a skit portraying Sheriff August Schuster (Daniel Lefever) capturing the arsonist who lit the flour mill on fire (Luann Whitmire.) Without a courthouse or a jail in Klickitat County at that time, Sheriff Schuster had to escort the prisoner by horseback and sternwheeler to the closest jail in Vancouver. It wasn’t until 1878 that a jail constructed entirely of wood was erected in Goldendale.

The four-story, fivebuilding flour mill complex remained a local landmark for over 50 years until another spectacular fire destroyed the facility in 1923.

NEW IMPROVED GAZEBO: The City of Goldendale renovated the gazebo in Ekone Park recently. As you can tell by the close-up of the stairs, it badly needed fixing up. The refurbished gazebo is now ready for events once warm weather returns.

A8—November 15, 2023

Goldendale, Washington

FFA from page A1 Communities, and Strengthening Agriculture.

In the National Chapter Award, Goldendale Middle School FFA earned three Gold Stars, which is the highest honor, and Goldendale High School FFA earned two Gold Stars.

This award recognizes the two chapters as one of the top 3.3% FFA chapters out of almost 9,000 in the nation. Goldendale Middle School was also selected as a national finalist for Middle School Models of Excellence and placed in the top five chapters in the nation.

Addi Bomberger and

Jenna Casey accepted the chapter’s 2 Star National Chapter Award on live TV in front of over 70,000 people for Goldendale High School.

Logan Smith and Frank Lorton accepted Goldendale Middle School’s 3 Star National Chapter Award.

And Rydell Myers, Tristyn Tobin, and Aubrey Wright accepted the Model of Excellence Award. As commented

by GHS Greenhand FFA President Rydell Myers, “I was honored to accept Goldendale Middle School’s national finalist award, but it was unreal to go in front of 20 times more people than

are in our town.”

Besides receiving their award, the students participated in a community service project to make sensory bottles. “I personally liked making the bottled fidgets for kids to help stay focused in class. They let us pick out sparkles and cool little toys to put in a bottle filled with colored water and hand sanitizer. I hope the kids who receive them enjoy what we created!” stated GHS FFA member Charlotte Matulovich.

Additionally, members attended educational tours and a country concert.

PRISONS from page A1 While most mass shootings here aren’t politically motivated, which is what people usually think of when they think of terrorists, they do indeed strike terror.

“The focus in Norway is, one day these prisoners are going to be your neighbors,” Mosbrucker says. “They’re going to live next to you, work with you. So they try to keep them acclimated to being in society.”

Orange jumpsuits are not signs of societal acclimation, so prisoners in Norway don’t wear them.

“When prisoners re-enter society here,” Mosbrucker states, “they’ve been living in a different culture. They don’t know how to integrate back into ‘normal’ life. So in Norway, prisons try to get people ready to live and work in a ‘normal’ way.”

That’s part of why prisons there only serve one meal. If the prisoner wants more meals, they can go cook them on their own.

“Knives are chained down,” Mosbrucker says, “but the idea is to have people able to cope on their own, ready to go into society able to cope on their own.”

The entire attitude is support for a crime-free future rather than just punishment for the past.

Mosbrucker is considering sponsoring something

she’s calling the Hope Bill when the Legislature convenes in Olympia in January. If it makes it before the Legislature, the bill would aim at first steps toward a better incarceration system in Washington.

Fentanyl meeting More recently Mosbrucker stood in the cold the night of November 7 at a shelter in Yakima to listen to people whose lives have been traumatized by fentanyl use among those closest to them. Mosbrucker plans to introduce bills to combat fentanyl in the upcoming legislative session, after her four bills offered in the last session never saw the light of day as the Legislature toyed with the idea of legalizing all drugs.

“It was powerful to see people sharing, staying out in the cold, to talk about the impact of fentanyl,” Mosbrucker shares. Among those was Melissa Howtopat of Goldendale, whose son died in custody at the Klickitat County Jail after a fentanyl arrest. Howtopat shared her grief not only at her son’s death but at the legal and detox system that makes escaping fentanyl use so time-consuming and clumsy.

Safety issues are top priority for Mosbrucker as she prepares for Olympia in

January: • She plans to address alternative ways to report rape other than what exists now; she wants a study group to examine possible reporting measures that increase efficiency and privacy.

• Safe Haven would prevent the horrifying numbers of babies being left in dumpsters by mothers who see no alternative for children they can’t cope with.

The measure would create “baby boxes” where infants could be dropped off with devices that would immediately notify first responders of a baby’s presence in the box.

• Mosbrucker wants to see improvements in supply chains and workforce efficiency.

• She plans to find ways to secure funds for police body cameras in rural areas.

• Family and data privacy need greater attention, Mosbrucker asserts.

• It’s time to bring back Drug Court.

• There is a surprising number of homes without addresses—residences that are strangely unmapped and therefore impossible for responders to know how to get to. Mosbrucker wants to find ways to remedy that situation.

Parade was helped by many

IN HONOR OF VETS: Scenes from Saturday’s Veterans Day Parade in Goldendale.

Scott Robinson inaugurated Goldendale’s nowannual Veterans Day Parade only a few years ago. Here he shares his thoughts on this year’s parade on a wet and windy day.

This year’s Veterans Day Parade was a bit chilly, and we had some rain coming down that kept a lot of folks at home. The good news was that we had a good turnout with support from the folks who participated in the parade. Time to thank those who came out for the event regardless of the weather.

The American Legion came to lead the parade as they do year after year to represent the veterans of our community. The Legion continues to support all veterans with events all year round. On this day they finished the parade and then went to work at the Legion building to provide prime rib dinner for all veterans and their spouses This

also happens every year.

There is a long list of events and services they provide for veterans. Support the American Legion—stop by and have a meal. They have recently upgraded their menu, and they provide some good food at affordable prices. If you’re a veteran, stop by and join the Legion.

This year’s Grand Marshall was past commander of the American Legion, Brian Thimmig. He was born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. He joined the Army in June of 1978 and served 31 years in five combat tours and retired at the rank of first sergeant. He served two years as vice commander and three years as commander of the American Legion Post 116.

Every year we give trophies to some notable folks.

This year first place went to Jim Farrer. Since the beginning of this event, he

Lou Marzeles

has provided the transportation for the grand marshal. Second place went to Raina McAllister, the 2023 Klickitat County Fair and Rodeo Queen, on her horse, Bart. Third place went to Bishop Sanitation, which every year provides people watching the parades with toilet paper. Bishop continues to provide Goldendale with support in too many areas to list.

Other notable folks: Julie Vance, who comes out every year and lines up the parade. Many thanks to all the organizations who took the time to participate— without you we have no parade. Also all the ABATE of Columbia Gorge Chapter members who continue to make this happen.

Special thanks to my wife, Micki Robinson, for all the work she puts into these events for ABATE. Without her, I could not make this happen.

Members had the opportunity to experience the manufacturing process of a tractor during their tour of Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE) at New Holland Tractor Factory in Racine, Wisconsin. They experienced the Skydeck (formerly Sears Tower) in Chicago, Illinois. And, they toured a sustaining dairy and hog farm at Fair Oaks Farms in Fair Oaks, Indiana. Lastly, members enjoyed a concert presented by Lainey Wilson at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Goldendale FFA members

also attended the National FFA Agricultural Career Show. The career show hosted more than 300 booths representing colleges, agriculture-related companies, fundraising companies, U.S. Armed Services, and auto and truck manufacturers at the Indianapolis Convention Center. “I learned in the career show that the military will pay for your college. I also got a chance to drive robots, try on parachutes, and do a fun fitness challenge. I really enjoyed my time there,” stated Jack Halm, GHS FFA Member.

This occasion to travel

Mitten Tree back at Sentinel

across the country to be recognized for their excellence and to participate in hands-on learning opportunities was a once-in-alifetime experience for the Goldendale FFA members.

GHS FFA President Addison Bomberger commented, “I loved the opportunity to meet so many FFA members from all over the country.

Not only did we have new experiences and learn more about our futures, but we were also able to celebrate our two chapters’ hard work and accomplishments.”

The Goldendale Soroptimist’s annual Mitten Tree is once again in the foyer of The Sentinel office, awaiting ornaments in the form of mittens, gloves, hats, and scarves. Each year for the past 34 years, people have donated more than 100

items. The “gifts” will be donated to those in greatest need of them in the community. The tree will be up until December 11. Learn more at www.facebook. com/soroptimistinternationalofgoldendale.

Auditor debunks multiple ballot rigging myth Lou Marzeles

Editor The word on Facebook and other social media is that the Klickitat County Auditor’s Office is sending out multiple ballots to individuals, thereby affording them the opportunity to vote more than once in a single election. Despite social media’s dismal record of providing accurate information, the notion seems to stick in the minds of those who’ve taken to attacking the County Auditor and her staff for abetting election fraud.

County Auditor Heather Jobe says the accusations are entirely unfounded, and documentation supports her assertion. There are occasions when a second ballot is sent to a voter, she acknowl-

edges. “But it is imperative that people understand a second ballot does not mean a second registration for the same voter,” Jobe says, “and it doesn’t mean that a single voter gets two votes. A second ballot for the same voter means that they’ve either requested a replacement or something has changed in their voter registration.”

An official Voter Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document states, “There are two reasons why a voter would get a second ballot. Either you, the voter, requested one, or something in your voter registration changed. The change may have been something as simple as changing Hwy 142 to Highway 142. Standardizing addresses in the system increases the likelihood that registrations that are

questionable for one reason or another are discovered and validated or corrected.

“Ballots are mailed no less than 18 days before the election. The ballot and mailing labels are created three to four weeks prior to that mailing to allow the vendor sufficient time to get ballots printed, assembled, and mailed to every registered voter within that 18-day window. That is a large win-

dow of time (approximately 45 days) that voters have to make changes to their names or addresses. When a change is made in the system, whether by the voter themselves, the State, or a County Auditor’s Office, the voter registration system automatically generates an updated ballot—even if there are no actual changes to the ballot.”

But what ensures a voter

who gets two ballots only gets one vote? The FAQ points out, “When a ballot is received by an Elections Office, the signature is compared to the voter’s registration and the voter’s record is marked as having returned a ballot. If the voter attempts to return an additional ballot, the system rejects the ballot and warns the election official that a ballot has already been returned.”

Jobe says one particular individual on Facebook has been strident in accusing the Auditor’s office of intentionally manipulating the election process based on knowing someone who got two ballots. “Despite repeated requests for additional information so we could look into the specific situation,” Jobe states,

“that information was not forthcoming. As of the [moment], Klickitat County has 15,803 registered voters, and the current election was county-wide. We sent out 212 replacement/reissued ballots, which equates to .013% of all ballots.

“Senate bills 6021 and 5227 in 2018 & 2019, respectively, extended the deadlines for receiving and processing voter registrations and updates. Voters may now register to vote or make changes to their registrations up until 8 p.m. on election night. Moving the deadline to election night affords voters the opportunity to vote where they reside, but also increases the potential for voters to receive more than one ballot during a voting period.”

WCTU partners with USFS to improve recreation site

RESTORATION WORK: Students and volunteers were hard at work helping restore Klickitat Mile One Park. In the group picture are, left to right: Bill Spalding, Lorraine Fritsch, Tom Fritsch, Sara Wu, Gary Gidley, Brance and Rachel (Forest Service), and Dan Enz.

WCTU-KAEG Cochair As native plants were placed in the ground at the Klickitat Mile One site, students from Lyle and Wishram chanted, “Grow, Grow, Grow!” These plantings are part of the restoration and conservation partnership to improve recreation opportunities. The United States Forest Service owns 17 acres at this day-use park under renovation along the wild and scenic Klickitat River. The park is called Klickitat Mile One (KMO) because of its location just one mile upriver from the mouth of the Klickitat.

The Washington State Council of Trout Unlimited (WCTU)—Klickitat Alternate Engagement Group (KAEG) is one of many partners in this Forest Service project led by Brance Morefield, botanist. The park site is part of the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area, and the restoration of this site to a more user-friendly day-use recreation area has been going on for over a year. It is scheduled to be completed in the Fall of 2024.

Lyle students from the REACH (Relationships, Enrichment, Acad e m ic s , C o m mu n it y, and Homework Help) afterschool program came to plant on November 8, with their mentors Kenji Stasiewicz and Megan Winn.

I may not be much to look at. But I'll shower you with LOVE.

The 17 Lyle students were provided trowel and work gloves as they headed out to insert plants at a flagged location. They worked with a student partner and an adult volunteer through the Trout Unlimited STREAM Explorer program.

STREAM represents the conservation educational components science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Over 200 native plants including milkweed, mock orange, bitter brush, desert parsley, and yarrow were planted by the eager crew on a beautiful fall day.

An enthusiastic Lyle REACH student, Benjamin Bratton said, “I wish we could do this more often! I planted 12 plants, and I like planting because it helps the environment.”

On November 9, Wishram students from the REACH afterschool program came to the Klickitat Mile One site to continue the planting.

After an orientation about the history of the KMO site and a planting demonstration, students were supplied with gloves and a trowel. The 11 students each planted multiple plants at prepped areas on the bank above the Klickitat River.

Kristen Ringer and Brent Cameron, REACH coordinators, also got involved with the plantings.

Many of the native plants were purchased with a Trout Unlimited National Embrace a Stream Grant.

One of the main goals of Trout Unlimited is to protect and enhance habitat for cold water fisheries including salmon, steelhead, and trout. The EAS grant funded approximately $2,000 to purchase the plants, and the TU Klickitat Alternate Engagement Group’s cochairs Laurie Wilhite and Tony Paolino helped by inviting the schools and volunteers to help plant each day.

These partnership planting days wouldn’t have been a success without the adult volunteers who came to work with the students.

Many of the volunteers are members of the Washington Council of Trout Unlimited—Klickitat Alternate Engagement Group including Dan Enz, Nathan Goodman, Gary Gidley, Sharon Trout, Don Wilhite, and Laurie Wilhite.

Other volu nteers included Margaret Newman, Mid-Columbia Fisheries Enhancement Group; Sarah Skelly, Friends of the Columbia River Gorge; Bill Spalding and Tom Fritsch, local fishermen/project supporters; Sara Wu and Lorraine Fritsch, Native Plant Society; Patti Elliott, Klickitat Trail Conservancy; Sharon’s sister, Marg Pearce; Bill Weiler, Lyle City Council and longtime supporter of environmental education in The Columbia River Gorge.

Dan Enz said, “I had such a wonderful time helping young students from Lyle and Wishram schools plant native shrubs and trees at Mile One Park alongside the Klickitat River. The children were well-behaved and eager to go to work and get their hands dirty. We had a diverse group of volunteers helping the students in this very important effort. The children who participated will see the fruits of their

efforts materialize over time. They will have pride in the fact they contributed directly to the beautification of this park. Also, I'm proud of the fact that I contributed to the success of this new park and just maybe helped motivate a child to see the beauty in volunteering.”

When the Klickitat Mile One project is completed in 2024, the site will have better erosion control from the plantings, improved

trails, safe river access, non-motorized boat launch, restrooms, garbage service, picnic tables, and interpretive signage. The KMO site along the Klickitat River provides an excellent opportunity for wildlife viewing and family recreation.

GOLDENDALE, WASHINGTON

Library holds appreciation reception

Fort Vancouver Regional Libraries (FVRL) recently held a reception at the Goldendale Community Library to celebrate all of the wonderful volunteers who support the library and the community. There were door prizes, raffles for other prizes and gift cards, and speeches by Friends of the Goldendale Library.

The Friends of the Goldendale Library had recently received an influx of new active members, which brought in new ideas and energy. This allowed them to revive the regular book sales as well as the popular Ice Cream Social. The group has also had the opportunity to donate a copy of the book they published, Blue Light to Pucker Huddle, an oral history of the area, to area school classrooms. Members have also helped at ongoing library programs.

They also publish a members newsletter six times a

year that includes upcoming events, book reviews, updates from thelibrarian, and more.

P r e sident K at h le en Mckinney spoke at the event that the value of being a Friend goes beyond supporting literacy. There is fellowship, and deep friendships can be made. “The Friends of the Library is an important symbol to the community that the library belongs to all and it is worth working for.”

FVRL reiterates its appreciation for the Friends supporting its mission to strengthen communities through knowledge, experiences, and creativity.

The next Friends meeting is at the Goldendale Community Library today, November 15, at 5 p.m. and is open to the public. If you would like to attend virtually, email tmcleod@fvrl. org.

FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY HONORED: A reception recently at the Goldendale Library paid tribute to its Friends volunteers.

USDA Rural Development invests millions in Distance Learning, Telemedicine (DLT) United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development (USDA RD) Deputy Under Secretary Farah Ahmad Friday announced that the agency is investing over $2.25 million to help rural residents gain access to educational opportunities and critical healthcare services across Washington.

The five projects—which include Klickitat Valley Health in Goldendale—will make health care and dental services more affordable and accessible and will create educational opportunities for some of the state’s most remote communities.

“The administration and USDA are committed to partnering with people in rural and Tribal communities to ensure they have every opportunity to succeed—and that they can find those opportunities right in their own communities,” Deputy Under Secretary Ahmad said. “We’re proud to partner with local leaders

Hosting advice for a perfect holiday ham ( Family Features) Bringing together loved ones with classic seasonal meals is a staple of the holiday season, and few centerpieces call to mind childhood memories like a tender ham cooked to perfection. A longtime hallmark of family meals during the holidays, ham can feed a crowd , complement a wide variety of side dishes, and is easily elevated with glazes, spices, and rubs of all kinds for those who want to take their hosting up a notch.

While ham can be the centerpiece of your holiday dinner, it ’s also a versatile dish that can be served for any special occasion.

Ham is also ideal for incorporating into holiday brunches, served as an hors d’oeuvre at cocktail parties, and shared at office potlucks.

To help cook the perfect ham for your celebration, consider this advice for a festive feast from the experts at Coleman Natural Foods, which has produced highquality, all-natural, humanely raised, no antibiotics ever, fresh , and prepared meats sourced from American farmers since 1875.

Start with a tender and delicious spiral ham, which is pre -cut in one continuous swirl, allowing you to simply cut each piece from the one behind it for even, consistent slices.

Set the oven to 250-350 F, keeping in mind lower temperatures lead to longer cooking times but more tender meat . Bake 10-16 minutes per pound, adding glaze about 15 minutes prior to finishing, until the ham reaches an internal

temperature of 145 F at its thickest part .

Make your guests’ mouths water with a sweet glaze that mingles with the ham’s natural saltiness, creating a balance of flavors.

To achieve a unique taste, try flavors such as pineapple, honey or ginger. For a classic, delicious ham perfect for holiday gatherings and special occasions, try this Brown Sugar Honey Glazed Ham. After enjoying as the centerpiece of your holiday dinner, it can be savored in the days following your celebrations to help make lunches and weeknight meals a breeze after a busy season.

A Perfect Cup It’s important to have a good coffee cup.

My husband, Peter, makes the coffee and has since we were married. We will be celebrating nine years of marriage this spring, so you might not be surprised to hear that I no longer remember how to make coffee. This is called “learned helplessness” in psychology circles, and it is certainly true in my case. Peter makes the coffee, and I drink it. This seems to me like a fair division of labor. And having the proper cup is essential.

I am reminded of this every time I return to Mexico, because I do not pack a coffee cup.

Our little furnished apartment has a perfectly fine selection of matching white ceramic coffee cups sitting on the shelf.

But none of these cups is my cup. And so, usually on the first day, I will head out to the market where handcrafted items are sold in search of a perfect cup.

Walking through the market, it is surprising how relatively few coffee cups I see. I suppose most people do not have a cup sitting beside them all day, or at least for the first six hours of every day. I don’t think this is nearly as common in Mexico as it is in the U.S. But still, there are a lot of nice cups and, eventually, I find my new cup.

“What do you think ?” I ask Peter when I triumphantly return with my new perfect cup.

“Isn’t that the same cup you had before?” he asks.

Peter does not understand. He drinks his coffee from a white ceramic cup. He does not realize what a wonderful feeling it is when I find my new cup. I do not take my new cup for granted for a moment. I admire it as I drink my coffee. My cup is usually colorful and

always hand-painted and, once my new cup is sitting on my green Formica desk , all is right in my little world.

In six weeks’ time, I will have formed a bond with my new coffee cup. And when we return to the U.S., I cannot bear to leave the cup behind. Because this cup holds more than my coffee. This cup holds the memories I am making, day by day, sip by sip, as I sit at my desk in Mexico. It holds the bright markets and the feel of the round cobblestone streets beneath my feet and the smiles of the countless friendly people I meet every day.

So, when it is time to leave, I take the new coffee cup with me, and I use it every day I am in the U.S. until we leave for Mexico again. Then I put my new cup away in the cupboard, and when I arrive back in Mexico, I start the process all over again.

Some people (people like Peter) might detect a potential flaw in this routine. Over time , my cupboard in the U.S. is becoming filled with beautiful Mexican coffee cups.

But it seems to me there are worse problems a person could have. Every time I open my cupboard, I am reminded of markets and streets and smiles.

Today, I am enjoying a beautiful new cup I bought just days ago. It is several shades of blue, and I already know there is no possibility I could leave this cup behind.

Because this perfect cup holds things I want to keep forever. And I know for certain my coffee always tastes a little better when I drink it out of a perfect cup.

T r e k Boo Can you imagine being born a slave?

Can you imagine working all day instead of going to school? What if you were told it is illegal for you to learn how to read? What if reading could mean being beaten, sold to another owner, or even death?

How would a boy who started life off as a slave become one of the most educated and influential black men in the United States? How did Booker T. Washington end up having dinner at the White House and become an advisor to more than just one President?

Would you walk 500 miles to go to school? Booker did. He heard about a school named the Hampton Institute. It was a school like a college for young black men. The superintendent at the school was General Armstrong. When Booker got there all he had in his pocket was 50 cents. He worked hard and graduated. General Armstrong liked Booker, so he gave him a job at Hampton. When Booker was 25 years old, the general was given $2,000.00 to build a new school to train black teachers. The general chose Booker to go build the school in Tuskegee, Alabama.

Booker Taliaferro Washington was born on a tobacco farm owned by James and Elizabeth Burroughs in Virginia. He and his mother were slaves.

When he was old enough, he was given a job carrying grain to the mill, and he would pass the school. He wished more than anything that he could go to school and learn. After the Civil War, slaves were emancipated. That means they were set free. His family moved and he had to go to work at a salt mine to help make money.

His mom bought him a book and he taught himself letters and how to read. She agreed to let him go to school but he had to labor in the mines first then go to school after work.

It bothered Booker that racism kept black children from going to school. They weren’t allowed to go to school with white children. He became friends with some very important people while trying to get them to donate money to help build schools.

President Theodore Roosevelt liked Booker and invited him to the White House for dinner. Booker was the first black man to eat dinner with the President of the United States. Some people were very mad about this because of racism and both Booker and the President had threats made against them.

From left, Robert C. Ogden, U.S. Secretary of War William Howard Taft, Booker T. Washington and Andrew Carnegie, standing on the steps of a building, at the Tuskegee Institute’s 25th anniversary celebration.

Booker agreed and moved. All he found when he got there was 30 students and no land or building. So for the first year he taught class at a church. The church gave him land. He would teach the students, then he and his students made bricks, and in one year they had built the first building. Not only did Booker T. Washington go to school, but he was now teaching other black men and women how to be teachers!

Tuskegee Institute began small but it is now a big university. Booker was the principal there from 1881-1915. When he died in 1915, he was buried at the Institute.

Julius Rosenwald was Booker’s biggest supporter for building black schools in America. The first school they built was in 1913. Booker T. died two years later. His partner continued building Booker’s dream. These schools were known as Rosenwald schools and some are still standing.

START AT STATE: The Timberwolves Volleyball team had a great showing at State, despite a loss in the first game (pictures here) against Liberty High School.

Timberwolves earn 7th place trophy at State Volleyball The Timberwolves Volleyball team had an exciting end to their season, winning 3 of 4 matches at the WIAA State Tournament in Yakima last week.

With the quick exit memory from last year’s tournament still lingering, the Timberwolves battled a first-round loss and fought back with three straight wins to earn 7th place.

After an exciting escort out of town, which included police and fire truck sirens and parents and fans cheering along the way, the girls headed for Yakima with a trophy on their minds.

The Timberwolves were seeded 4th, so much expectation was in the air. Liberty HS (Spangle) was the first opponent for GHS. The Lancers big hitters came out tough, and the Timberwolves had a hard time digging their attacks. Goldendale dropped the first set 13-25, fought back in the second to take a 24-23 lead, only to lose 24-26. The fight

continued, but the Lancers prevailed in the third 25-18 to take the match.

Wednesday afternoon came quickly, giving The Timberwolves only three hours to grab some lunch and prepare for their next contest. A match with Coupeville brought the Timberwolves back to the court, and they responded well, winning in four sets.

Brook Blain and Taryn Rising combined for 35 kills and Lydia Hanning added 8. Maggie Gutierrez handed out 41 assists and 3 aces. Emily Tindall served up 5 aces and had 10 digs, while Brylee Mulrony and Rising added 10 digs each.

Lexi Molnar added 3 aces and 5 digs with 18-19 serving. Ada Garner added 6 kills. Goldendale played smart Volleyball serving weak spots in the Coupeville lineup and found the floor several times with well-placed kills and tips.

Set scores were 25-22, 25-13, 19-25 and 25-13.

An 8 o’clock call on Thursday morning to play EWAC adversary Warden was next for the Timberwolves. The girls had beaten the tough Warden team the week before for their state berth, so they were familiar with the Cougars and their tall middle hitters. GHS served tough to keep the Warden hitters from many attacks and won the first set 25-17. The Cougars showed some fight, charging back in the second set taking it 25-23. The Timberwolf response in the third was phenomenal with a 25-8 stomping of the team in blue. The fourth set was a little tighter with the Timberwolves pulling away to win 25-19 and secure themselves a place in the trophy round. Rising and Blain continued to pound the ball with 20 and 16 kills respectively. Hanning added 9 and Garner 7. Gutierrez dished out 44 assists and nine digs in a solid performance. Tindall anchored the defense

with 19 digs and 29 perfect serve receive passes. Mulrony served 30-30 with 5 aces and added 8 digs. Molnar added 3 more aces and 8 digs, while Garner added 6 PP and 8 digs.

Another EWAC opponent, WWVA became the final challenge for the Timberwolves. The tall, athletic team from Walla Walla brought strong hitting and blocking to the match. GHS also had strong hitting and blocking, so much of the difference came down to tough serving and passing, in which the Timberwolves showed more prowess. Goldendale took set one 25-22, dropped the second 26-28 and prevailed in the 3rd and 4th with scores of 25-19 and 25-18. It was fitting that senior Blain had her highest match stuff block total of the season with 8 and senior Rising put the last ball down to end the season. Goldendale earned the 7th place trophy, much to the delight of the loud and

proud hometown Goldendale fans!

The girl’s response to adversity and momentum swings throughout the tournament was excellent and showed how much they grew together as a team and embraced the teams mantra of “handle hard better”!

The team served an amazing 96% for the tournament with 40 aces, a great accomplishment.

Blain broke the school stuff block record (242) in the match versus Liberty, surpassing 2022 GHS Graduate Sara Hiebert. Blain ends her career with 256 stuff blocks. Rising surpassed 1,000 career kills, another outstanding achievement.

Rising finishes with 1,019 kills for her career, placing her second to assistant coach Ocean Barrett, who garnered 1,092 in her time at GHS. Lexi Molnar earned her way into the top 10 for aces in a career on the GHS All-Time Stat

SPECTACULAR WIN: The Timberwolves were high achievers last week in the first game of playoffs, triumphing over Brewster 67-23.

List. The team finished the season 22-2, one of the best overall finishes in school history. Coach Bellamy ended her career with a lifetime of great memories and successes over 21 seasons with the Timberwolves VB program.

EWAC All League Honors week handed out on Tuesday. Rising was voted the Player of the Year and 1st Team All-League. Blain and Tindall also earned 1st Team honors. Hanning, Garner and Gutierrez all earned Second Team, while Molnar was nabbed for Honorable Mention.

Team members include: seniors Lexi Molnar, Brook Blain and Taryn Rising, juniors Ada Garner, Emily Tindall, Brylee Mulrony and Lydia Hanning, Sophomores Vanessa Green, Tessa Larcome, Maggie Gutierrez, Greta Gilliam and Ella Riley, and freshman Dilynn Herrington.
