Total lunar eclipse image from Goldendale Observatory

Goldendale Observatory Ad ministrator Troy Carpenter cap tured a stunning picture of the total lunar eclipse last Tuesday and sent this report:

“The bad weather tried and failed to stop us; please find at tached a Lunar Eclipse image taken at 3:41 early Tuesday morn

ing, November 8. This was after totality as the Moon was begin ning to exit Earth’s shadow.

“It was an oddly punctual eclipse in our time zone, with the start occurring almost exactly at midnight, and the end almost exactly at 6 a.m. The greatest eclipse occurred at 3 a.m.

“Visitation was light due to ex pected poor viewing conditions, but over 3,000 people tuned into our live HD YouTube feed. View ers as far as New Zealand and Germany were noted in the vid eo chat. Clouds were ever-pres ent but thinned out frequently

Lou Marzeles HONORING VETERANS: At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the guns of World War I fell silent. Now we observe Veterans Day on that date, and Goldendale turned out a fine parade last Friday to honor veterans of all fields of service. Jim Allyn, below left, was Grand Marshall.

The Goldendale High School GEAR UP program works hard to get students excited and prepared for col lege. GEAR UP, which stands for Gaining Early Awareness Readiness for Undergraduate Programs, is a federal grant program created in 1999 with the goal of reaching low-in come families and preparing them for the process of enroll ing in a postsecondary educa tion. The program is run by colleges in the state; the Uni versity of Washington (UW) runs it in the Goldendale

School District. UW creates competitions for schools to qualify for these grants, and whichever group of students wins is awarded the funds. These funds will then follow them throughout their school career, helping them with college tours, programs, and Science, Technology, Engi neering, and Mathematics (STEM) school supplies.

At Goldendale High School, Molly Fahlenkamp, the GEAR UP head site coordi nator, and Assistant Juli Ris ing work hard to put these funds to good use. Much of them go to take students on tours at four-year univer

sities, community colleges, and trade schools that may interest them. These tours help give students an idea of what life at college would be like and facilitates decid ing what college would best suit them. So far, the GEAR UP program has plans to visit such schools as Yakima Valley Community College, Washington State University, Central Washington Univer sity, University of Oregon, Eastern Oregon University, Walla Walla Community Col lege, Perry Technical Insti tute, Columbia Basin College, Gorge Academy of Cosmetol ogy, and the Columbia Gorge

Community College. Not only does GEAR UP provide money for these college tours, but any leftover funds are put into the classroom. GEAR UP also provides money to start the Robotics team at the high school, as well as the “Link Crew,” a club where high school upperclassmen meet with and give tours to upcom ing students in a freshman orientation. These Link Lead ers continue to offer a helping hand to the new students as they orient themselves to life in high school.

In part, GEAR UP’s pro gram was created to send teachers to extra profes

Veterans, Gold Star families get free lifetime pass to federal sites

Veterans of the U.S. Armed Services and Gold Star Fami lies can now obtain a free life time pass to access thousands of federal recreation day use sites spread out across more than 400 million acres of public lands, including national parks, wild life refuges, and forests.

“The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and our federal teammates are proud to honor our veterans with free lifetime access to more than 2,500 fed eral recreation areas across the nation,” said Lt. Gen. Scott A. Spellmon, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers commanding gen eral. “This is a small token of appreciation for veterans who have bravely dedicated their lives to defending our freedom.”

In order to obtain a lifetime pass when visiting one of the federal recreation sites, veter ans can present one of the four forms of acceptable ID:

• Department of Defense ID Card

• Veteran Health ID (VHIC)

• Veteran ID Card

• Veteran’s designation on a state-issued U.S. driver’s license or ID card

The pass can also be obtained by visiting www.nps.gov/ planyourvisit/pickup-pass-lo cations.htm. Gold Star Fam ilies can obtain information, self-certify that they qualify, and download a voucher by visiting the U.S. Geological Survey’s online store at https:// store.usgs.gov.

The lifetime Veterans and Gold Star Families pass allows for free access to day use areas at USACE and all federally man aged sites. There is no discount to camping or overnight fees in federal areas with the Veterans pass. Other lifetime passes that offer camping discounts include the Senior Pass for U.S. citizens

or permanent residents over age 62 and an Access Pass for U.S. citizens or permanent residents with a permanent disability. More information is available at www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/ passes.htm.

USACE is one of the leading federal providers of outdoor and water-based recreation, hosting

millions of visits annually to its more than 400 lake and river projects. It’s estimated that 90 percent of the USACE-operated recreation areas are within 50 miles of metropolitan areas, offering diverse outdoor activ ities for all ages close to home.

sional development trainings that otherwise would not be in the school’s budget. The resources from GEAR UP can bring new speakers and programs to the schools; Gol dendale High School (GHS) had a motivational speaker stop by last month. Those same resources will be bring ing Harlan Cohen, bestsell ing author, journalist, and

speaker to GHS on December 7 to put on a Parent and Stu dent meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the Goldendale high school cafeteria. Cohen will go over his program “The Best First Year,” which is designed to set students up for success in their first year of college. Gol dendale High School is work ing hard to GEAR UP their students for college.

This week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture

Is the guy handing something to the woman? Or is the woman handing something to the guy? Whatever was going on, it drew a crowd on what appears to be Main Street

in Goldendale, pulling foot traffic away from the Ben E. Bush Company in the background. So who are these people? What were they doing? Why? We don’t know. All we

Fox’s Kitchen, a new eating emporium in Goldendale, opened its doors to a hungry public last Saturday night.

November 7, 1935 – 87 Years Ago

During the week of November 25, the Goldendale Free Public Library will join with other libraries all over the world in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Andrew Carnegie, noted philanthropist and steel magnate who gave nearly $65,000,000 to build, endow, and equip almost 3,000 libraries—1,900 of them in the United States and Canada and the rest scattered throughout the English-speaking world. In November of 1913, an application was made for a library building fund for Goldendale. Architects’ plans were secured and accepted, the required data furnished to the Carnegie Corporation, and the building completed and formally opened March 1, 1915. The local library has received as gifts from the Carnegie Corporation a large framed portrait of Andrew Carnegie and a set of seven posters designed especially for the anniversary.

October 29, 1942 – 80 Years Ago

Like an ignited box of kindling, the Methodist Church of Goldendale burned to a total loss in less than an hour on Sunday morning. Soon after the ten o’clock Sunday School session started with over 150 present, October 25, classes in the main auditorium heard a noise like the dropping of tiny pebbles on a board. Soon an outside observer saw flame and smoke starting from the rear roof of the church, where the main chimney was. It is speculated that a spark from the chimney started the conflagration or perhaps a defective flue. Concern for the parsonage next to the church was great, but supports were placed against the east wall of the burning church and a steady stream of water kept on the parsonage, so that it did not catch fire. The steeple, long a graceful landmark of the community, burned rapidly and fortunately fell inside the church. The children in the church annex at the time were quietly conducted across the street. There were no serious injuries, for firemen or Sun day School attendants. For the present Methodist services will be held in the old J. C. Penny store building on Main Street.

November 22, 1962 – 60 Years Ago

A small calf belonging to Dale Thiele was found dead, with a 30-30 rifle bullet later recovered from the body, approximately two miles west of Goldendale. The dressing out of the animal had barely begun, Sheriff D. H. Pruitt said, although the carcass was cold at the time he reached it. The culprits had been scared off by passing traffic before the job could be completed.

Vern Markee Park is one step closer to being finished, as volunteer workers began laying inscribed bricks on the park’s sidewalk Monday. Bob Rising has inscribed approximately 60 bricks with names of community members who purchased the bricks. This brick sale will finance the cost of the East Broadway Street Park and later will pay for the Chamber of Commerce building.

November 5, 1992 – 30 Years ago

Glenwood Grange: In 1933, Washington State Grange said that volunteer firemen were needed in the rural communities, but since taxes would be needed to help meet just the basics, it had to be a Congressional act to do it. It took six years of lobbying and pushing through bills (with the Grange doing lots of the pushing) so that in 1939, volunteer fire departments were set up by Congress. They started putting out fires with just water and are now constantly training for many different types of fires and methods and expanded into adding medical service, which we now know as EMTs. The Glenwood department has 20 firemen—six of whom do perform double-duty as EMTs.

Points to ponder:

How many telemarketers does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but he has to do it when you’re having dinner.

How many schizophrenic people does it take to change a light bulb? Who wants to know? What do you call a hippie’s wife? Mississippi.

I sneezed really hard. While I didn’t break any bones, there was some tissue damage. I have CDO. It’s like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order. Like they’re supposed to be.

In 1932 Amelia Earhart flew across the Atlantic from Canada to England. In 1934 her luggage arrived. What do you get when you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter? Pumpkin pi.

We’ve colorized this pic ture from last week. We received only one guess as to the location of the pic ture, and no one knew the gentlemen’s names. Mark Doubravsky guessed that this may have been at the old swimming pool, where World War II park is now. The fence is correct, and it looks like the storage shed addition that was built on to the side of the girls’ dressing room. Mark guessed this to be around 1962, and though we searched, we were una ble to find the picture in our archives for that year.

On another Mystery Pic ture note, we recently found a few answers as they ran in the paper. There was some discussion as to whether the play was “My Fair Lady” or “The Importance of Being Earnest.” We found the pic ture in the April 29, 1993, edition of The Sentinel with the following information: “PLAY SCHEDULED – The Goldendale High School Drama Club will soon be presenting their spring play, The Importance of Being Earnest. The play will begin May 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the old band room at Goldendale Middle School. It will run May 6-8 and 13-15. Because of the limited seating, advance tickets are being sold at Bal loons Galore, Key Bank, Larson’s Drug, and KC Phar macy. The price for all seats is $4. Pictured here are (left to right) Jessica Short, Deb bie Mower, John Rolfe, Mel ody Garceau, Lisa Goodpas ter, Shawneen Whitecotton, Sam Jacobson, Ryan Potter ton, and Chris Bakke.”

Remember the coffee grinders? We found the

picture in the May 3, 1962, edition of The Sentinel with the following informa tion: “AMONG the many interested spectators at the county historical society meeting April 21 was R. R. Wellenbrock, long time Glen wood resident now living in Wapato. He is shown exam ining a small part of the col lection of over 50 coffee-mills displayed for the benefit of society members by Leland Huot. The collection var ies from commercial-type grinders like the one at left, to the small box-like table models and the glass jar wall models. One interesting specimen was the clamp-totable type carried by coffee salesmen for demonstration grinding of roasted coffee beans at point of sale.”

We ran a Dig and Dream club photo just a few weeks ago, but do you remember the one we ran earlier this year with a group of ladies standing in front of a freshly planted planter? We found that picture too, in the April 19, 1962, edition of The Senti nel, with a caption reading: “DIG AND DREAM Garden Club members let no ‘grass grow under their feet’ in get ting flowers planted in the new planter boxes on the Main-Columbus corner last week. The boxes were placed on Saturday, filled with dirt Sunday, and planted Mon day. A total of 12 boxes will be planted with growing flowers in the downtown area. Left to right, the gar deners are Dorothy Brokaw, Florence Jackel, Evelyn Moore, Amzel Woodward, and Mary Ledbetter.”

Friendsgiving is a new holiday tradition

Thanksgiving is the time of year when families come together, cook, and create memories. Some times family is not just those who are related to us, but those we choose as our “adopted” family. The word we use for these loved ones is friends. These are the people we call when we need a ride, a visit after a long day, someone to listen to us vent, and of course, to create happy memories. Sometimes we just don’t slow down enough to spend real quality time with these great friends. During this holiday season, many have adopted a new tradition that has been called Friendsgiving. This is a day to show appreciation for the people in our lives who may not be related to us by blood but have been added as “ex tended” family.

Guest Editorial Tayler Bradley

I recently just moved back to Texas, and I won’t be able to come home and spend time with my family for Thanksgiving. I wish I could, but I decided instead of being sad, I am going to spend it with the other people who are important in my life and are always there for me no matter what. I am going to have my very first Friendsgiving. I didn’t want to make it too formal, just a casual day where we eat lots of good food and celebrate each other, while playing games and spending time together. I have been seeing a lot of themed party nights on social media, so I thought it would be fun to do one of those. Because charcuterie boards are all the rage right now, that is the theme I chose. Those attending will bring a board or tray of their own making, and each board will be a different theme. One may be a meat and cheese board, a Mexican fiesta, a treats tray, pizza party, or even a breakfast bar. The possibilities are really endless, and I thought it would relieve some of the anxiety of cooking and preparing. I want my guests and myself to be able to relax and have fun. I can’t wait to bring all of my friends together for our special day.

If you don’t like the charcuterie board night idea, there are so many other ways to have a Friendsgiving. You could have a potluck style, where everyone brings a side and the host prepares a turkey, or maybe you don’t want to cook at all, so take-out might be the solu tion. Whatever way you choose, the goal is to spend time with friends who are important parts of your lives. Happy Friendsgiving Day!

Burn-out has got to go

The Festival of Wheels gave it another try this year. It seems the attendance has dwindled to much lower levels than when the event was new, 10 years ago. There are a lot of competing car shows this time of year, so it doesn’t surprise me .

This year Goldendale Motor sports Association and ABATE brought back the burn-out, which was tried several times in the past with questionable benefits to the town. This year someone had the brilliant idea to use the old skate board park as a place to stage the return of the burnout. It was held on the concrete slab, a tempting medium for anyone inclined to bum rubber. Rednecks of many degrees, punk kids or maybe the little old lady from Pasadena.

I personally was left with a bad taste in my mouth and lungs. Even though I made it a point to stay away from the burn-out and was at my home where I thought I would escape the noise and smoke, when the toxic cloud rose from the park and drifted over the Lit tle Klickitat River Park (the swimming pool) on to the kids and families at the pool and on to me while I was sitting on my property. We were contaminated by the toxins in the smoke, and my eyes and throat were imitated, and my lungs filled with carbon monoxide and other cancer causing toxic compounds for three hours.

I think the city of Goldendale needs to rethink supporting burnouts in our park. Next year don’t issue a permit to

any group that wants to burn-out. There are places in the county where it could be held, just not in the city please. I hate toxic smoke, and you should too.

On Sept 4 I will be asking the mayor and his administration to make an ordinance forbidding anyone from reckless unsafe burn outs in any ones neighborhood or any street in the Goldendale city limits. I would appreciate some support from like-minded citizens at the council meeting. Let them know how you feel.

I recently received an updated “Terms for Business and Deposit Account Agreement” from Columbia Bank. I am not in the habit of reading the fine print but for some reason this time I did. I came across an “added” line that I found very concerning. Again, this line is both for personal and business accounts. It reads: “We may refuse to open and account and may close your account at any time for any reason or for no reason at all.”

“For No Reason At All” I particu larly found offensive.

I contacted the bank for an explana tion. The answer was essentially that “we wouldn’t do that.” Then why is it in your documents, I asked. The answer was to send me up the chain of command. The second person gave the same answer as the first and then was to have me con

tacted by some-one higher up. That person has not contacted me after more than a week so I am following through on what I told the bank contacts I was going to do—write a letter to the editor to be sure local folks are aware of how Columbia Bank is choosing to deal with its account holders.

My concern is that a comment as broad as this opens the door for abuse. I have had no difficul ties with our local branch and am sorry that the headquarters has decided to take such a hard line. It ap-pears I will need to look for a bank that does not behave in this manner.

Part of our service

On Veteran’s Day as on every Federal Holiday and important Goldendale event, we put out the flags along Broadway, Columbus, and Main streets. Later that day at Holcomb’s Grocery, the Legion vol unteers handing out the traditional veteran’s poppies commented on how nice it was to see the flags out. I thanked them for noticing and in the course of the conversation they

confessed they didn’t know the Kiwanis Club was responsible.

Yes, we are. The Kiwanis Club of Goldendale, as part of our service to the community, puts out the flags on every Federal Holiday and impor tant event that happens in Golden dale. We are a small club, but we take our responsibilities and ser vice seriously.

So the next time you see one of us putting up or taking down the flags, wave or say hello, and the next time

you see them flying, know that we are still serving our community and taking pride in doing it.

If you want to see what else we are doing, join us every first and third Wednesday at 7 a.m. at the Simcoe Café.

School honors Veterans Day

Last Wednesday, Novem ber 19, a large number of Glenwood school students, along with Glenwood staff members Taunie Wilson and Sara McFall, joined Glenwood Women’s Club president Carla Dillen burg, her husband Mike, and Glenn Pierce at the beautiful Mt. Adams Cemetery.

The students gave their afternoon to put flags out on all the veterans’ graves in honor of Veter ans Day. We have great kids here in our school, and they make us proud in so many ways. These kids aren’t just placing flags; they’re recog nizing the sacrifices those men and women made in their lives to serve their country. A huge thanks goes to all who participated out there.

Elsewhere in our com munity, Todd French and Steven Boitano put the American flags on the poles around town in time for Vet erans’ Day. Thank you for this service to our commu nity, Todd and Steven.

On Thursday, Novem ber 10, the school held an assembly in observance of Veterans Day. I wasn’t able to attend, so I don’t have a list of all the kids who par ticipated. Amy McNealy, a veteran of the U.S. Navy,

spoke about her service and about honoring military veterans. Second grader Amiyah Bisping sang “The Star Spangled Banner,” and other classes sang patriotic songs. Thank you, Glen wood School, for teaching our kids about honoring and respecting our veterans.

High school bas ketball practice began this week.

The Klickwood (Klickitat/Glen wood) girls’ team will be coached by Glen wood alumnus Billie Patter son. It’s going to be a great season for them. I’ll provide information on upcoming games as their season pro gresses.

The Glenwood middle school boys’ basketball team had their first game in Klickitat last Thursday, November 10. Klickitat has no girls’ team, but the Glen wood Eagles girls’ team went along to cheer loudly for the Glenwood boys. It was a close game, well played, and Klickitat was finally able to pull ahead in the final minutes. Keep in mind, both the boys’ and girls’ teams for Glenwood only have five players each. These kids do not get to sit out for a rest while a sub goes in. They play hard all four quarters of each game.

They deserve all the sup port we can give them. Both teams had their first home game against Lyle last Mon day night and will play in Trout Lake on Thursday, November 17. If you can, drive over the hill and cheer for our teams. I’ve heard Trout Lake has 24 girls on their team to go up against our five players. That can be daunting, but one 7th grader I know told me she’s going to give it all she’s got and then some. They also have another home game on Monday, November 21, with Bickleton. Let’s go, Eagles. Here's one last reminder of the Glenwood Commu nity Thanksgiving Dinner on November 20 at 3 p.m. in the school multi-purpose room. This is a wonder ful opportunity to come together as a community and enjoy a potluck meal, celebrating the many bless ings of this past year. Pio neer Memorial Community Church will provide the meat, potatoes, stuffing, and rolls. Please bring a dish to share. Last names begin ning with A-G should bring hot side dishes and/or a des sert. Last names beginning with H-Z, should bring cold side dishes or salads and/or a dessert. If you have any questions, please call Jen nifer Hallenbeck at (509) 364-3571.

I don’t get out as much as I used to and was thrilled to see that we will have a Dollar General store on this side of the river, at the old McDonald building in Bingen. The store fits my budget, so I, for one, am glad to see it opening soon and hope it lasts longer than the restaurant.

Domaine Pouillon Winery is advertising: “Join us later this month, on November

19 and 20, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for our Holiday Craft Mar ket. We’ll be featuring some of our favorite talented artisans from the Colum bia Gorge! Hats, jewelry, brooms, baskets, ceramics, wreaths, and so much more. This event is free to attend! We’ll also be having some great pre-holiday deals on our wines too. See you there!”

And the High Prairie Christmas Bazaar is sched uled for Decem ber 1 through 3. A member is calling for volunteers to help get the message out with posters for designated areas. Call or email josh 7harrison@gmail.com or call (509) 281-0971.

If you are interested, call (509) 3109130.

There are Lyle residents who belong to the First Baptist Church in Bingen, and those of you who know me know I sew garments for the Samaritan Purse Project, also known as the Operation Christmas Child or Shoebox Project. It was started by the Billy Gra ham Foundation years ago. Shoeboxes are filled and sent to 130 different coun tries all over the world to distant villages where chil dren seldom see outsiders. The gifts have proven to be the first presents they have ever received. I just wanted to share that I’ve always donated my sewing to that church and tell you that

this year’s total boxes came to 1,010! One thousand ten, filled with essential items such as personal hygiene, school supplies, and toys and clothes that will fill the box. Members of the congre gation donate items all year to fill the boxes; and on a special day, they gather and fill them, item by item, then truck them over to a church in Oregon where they start their long journey to cho sen destinations. This is, to say the least, awesome for a church that size to offer such an outstanding amount, not only of items but the love that is placed in each box. Of course I came nowhere near that amount of garments this year, but over the years I’ve donated over 2,500. Most of the fab ric comes from neighbors’ generous donations, and the project keeps me busy in my off hours.

Veterans Day school activities

Ministerial Association hosts Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Service

Veterans Day is the day we celebrate those who have served in the military and have helped keep us safe by giving so much of themselves for our country. In school many kids might think this is just another day off, but the teachers do a great job of conveying the importance of this holiday.

The Goldendale Pri mary School students did a remarkable job of showing their appreciation and cele bration for veterans. Each of the classes usually do some thing in their own rooms, such as an art project.

Some classes write letters

or make decorations that are delivered to the Ameri can Legion for their Annual Veterans Dinner. This year many of the classes learned patriotic songs and sang them to show their appre ciation. The schools videoed each one, made a compila tion, and posted it for all to share.

In the halls, the school created a wall dedicated to heroes of those related to the kids. They hung up pho tos and stories of each one, giving a sense of pride and honor for the kids each time they walk past the wall. At the Middle School, the kids brought in names of friends and family who have served or are currently serving.

Those names were put into a presentation shared with the whole school for the kids to watch, a great way to cel ebrate individuals. At the High School, they held an assembly where the entire school attended, talked about Veterans Day, lis tened to songs, and showed their gratitude.

The Goldendale com munity has many veterans who have fought for a safe world. Our school district did projects and assign ments to help the students learn about the holiday and why we observe it.

Mount Adams Ministe rial Association (MAMA), an interfaith organization composed of religious lead ers from area faith com munities, invites the public to attend its annual Inter faith Thanksgiving Service November 21 at 7 p.m. at

White Salmon United Meth odist service 341 N Main Ave, White Salmon. Rep resentatives from Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, Druid, Jewish, Sufi, and Unitarian Universalist faith traditions will lead the community in this celebration. There will

be singing, so please bring a well-fitting mask. For more information contact MAMA member Rev. Judy Zimmerman, minister at Mid-Columbia Unitarian Universalist Fel lowship at (541) 402-1860 or jzimmerman@uuma.org.

Surviving the holidays without your loved one

The holidays are around the corner. Soon the storefronts will be filled with the colors of Thanksgiving and Christmas. You wish you could just skip over the next two months, but the calendar still holds November and December. Due to the death of someone close to you, you ask—how will I cope through this? How can I feel like celebrating without them?

Inflation drives demand for Tree of Joy donors as families struggle

The call for donors is starting early this year to meet the demand for the Tree of Joy holiday gift pro ject in Klickitat and Skama nia counties.

Project Coordinator Patty Gallardo says Washington Gorge Action Programs (WAGAP) staff has been surprised this year. Fami lies asked to apply even before the official launch of the annual Tree of Joy project that links children’s wish lists with donors.

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

“More families than ever are requesting services from WAGAP, and those families need a little holi day cheer,” said Abby Wha lin, director of the Pathways HealthConnect program.

Whalin leads a team of Community Health Work ers who connect community members with resources and services to create paths to a healthier life.

“Inflation is hurting everyone,” Whalin said. WAGAP’s Community Health Workers report to Whalin that single-income and single-parent families are being hurt the most as they try to make ends meet.

“Families are struggling to pay at the gas pump for transportation to work and at the grocery store to put food on the table.”

Gallardo also notes that

the donor pool has shifted over the past two years as pandemic conditions have changed the local work force. As more workers have

The Washington Outdoors Report: Outdoors round up

WATERFOWL: The first wave of northern birds has arrived in the Columbia Basin. Checking out Stratford Lake this past week, I saw an estimated 10,000 lesser Canada geese and approximately 1,500 snow geese on the lake before sunrise. The first wave of mallards has shown up as well, along with wig eon. That’s something I found out hunting with my friend Rusty Johnston this week. We saw many more ducks, some in large flocks, that we didn’t see in mid-October when warm weather made for a tough opening day weekend. Now, however, the weather has turned chilly, and the migra tion has begun. Smaller ponds are beginning to ice up but bigger water, creeks, and wasteways used by the ducks remain open. The arrival of these new birds should provide some very good opportu nity for hunters.

POTHOLES RESER

VOIR PANFISH: Most anglers focus on walleye at Potholes Reservoir this time of year but there are some big panfish and lots of them to be caught this month as well. Pete Fisher at MarDon Resort shared a photo of a 1.2-pound bluegill (yes—a blue gill) caught recently and Travis Dawson, the Fish ing Department Manager at the East Wenatchee Sportsman’s Warehouse store, reported excellent fishing for crappie at Pot holes last week. Travis was using small (1/16 ounce) white jigs or Road

Runner lures tipped with a small Berkley Power Gulp bait for success. Look for schools of crap pie around the habitat boxes planted in the lake. You can get a map at the MarDon store that will show you where they are. Visit www.mardonresort. com.

COLUMBIA GORGE

FISHING: Wendy Boyer at Gorge Outfitters Sup ply in Rufus says the coho fishing is wrapping up at the mouth of the Klicki tat, but walleye fishing is picking up, though the fish are deep. Try using a deep diving Bandit crankbait that will go down to about 28 feet. You can also try a Berk ley Flicker Shad with a suspension dot (weight) to get it deep. There has been some effort for catch and release sturgeon in The Dalles pool and Wendy expects there will be good success when the catch and keep sea son for them opens up in January. On the hunting front, waterfowl hunt ers are having success on the Columbia River below John Day Dam near Rufus to the Biggs Junction Bridge. Wendy suggests dropping by the store in Rufus if you are looking for a good holi day gift for the outdoors man or woman in your life. One special they are running is buy two deep diving plugs and get the third half off. The store is open Wednesday thru Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. After hours service is available. Just contact Wendy at the store a day or two in advance. Go to www.gorgeoutfitters. com.

LONG LAKE RAIN

BOWS: Steve Morris at SJM Guide Service has been fishing at Long Lake, and the rainbow trout fishing has been good. The trout are aver aging 14 inches. Steve will likely fish Long Lake until the first week of December. Steve also went on a duck hunting trip near the Tri-Cities last week and had good success. Steve said there are good numbers of ducks in the area, a mix of mallards and wigeon. See www.sjmguideser vice.com.

ICICLE RIVER

COHO: Some 13,000 coho appear to be bound for the Wenatchee and Ici cle rivers, but low waters and low temperatures kept most of them out of the Icicle where anglers can target them. That changed the first week end of November when we got our first good amount of rainfall and the rivers rose. My son and I, along with a halfdozen other anglers, spent Saturday afternoon fishing the Icicle between the Fish Hatchery and the Icicle River Bridge at East Leavenworth Road. Unfortunately, the fish had not made it up yet in good numbers, and only one fish was caught that afternoon. Those fish should be in now. How ever, they are likely not fit for eating at this point since they are either spawned out or close to it. The coho season on the Icicle River remains open until November 30.

gone remote, it has affected donor participation rates. Traditionally, 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 compe tition as wishes were ful filled and gifts were placed under trees until delivered to WAGAP for distribution.

Gallardo invites individu als, businesses, and organi zations to become Tree of Joy donors this year, mak ing a difference for a local family, and brightening a child’s holiday. In 2021 over 200 children benefited from the program.

Donor shopping lists will be available by November 22 in advance of Thanksgiving. Gifts should be wrapped, clearly indicate family and child numbers, and be returned either to WAGAP

Housing Office in Golden dale (150 W. Main Street) or to the Bingen Food Bank by December 13, in time for the families to pick gifts up starting December 20.

The capacity of partici pating donors determines the number of families and children served each year. For individuals and organi zations interested in join ing this year’s Tree of Joy effort, please contact Gal lardo at patty@wagap.org or call (509) 493-2662 ext. 200 for further questions or instructions. Let her know how many children your organization can support.

“Tree of Joy is neighbors helping neighbors,” Gal lardo said. “We are grateful to everyone who helps make the season magical for all children.”

National Native American Her itage Day is ob served on November 25, a day after Thanksgiv ing. American Indians are accorded special honor on this day, and their rich cultures, ac complishments, contri butions, and heritage are celebrated. The his tory of America begins with Native Americans, and the bald eagle on the U.S. shield is an Iroquois symbol. On this day, we can enjoy displays of their cultural fashion and unique recipes and speak out against the grave injustices they have experienced.

What started at the turn of the 21st century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the U.S. has re sulted in a whole month being designated for that purpose.

One of the very first proponents of an Amer ican Indian Day was Dr. Arthur C. Parker, a Sen eca Indian, who was the director of the Museum of Arts and Science in Rochester, New York. He persuaded the Boy Scouts of America to set aside a day for the “First Americans,” and for three years they ad opted such a day. In 1915, the annual Congress of the American Indian Association meeting in Lawrence, Kansas, for

mally approved a plan concerning American Indian Day. It directed its president, Rev. Sher man Coolidge, an Arap ahoe, to call upon the country to observe such a day. Coolidge issued a proclamation on Sept. 28, 1915, which declared the second Saturday of each May as an American In dian Day and contained the first formal appeal for recognition of Indi ans as citizens.

The year before this proclamation was is sued, Red Fox James, a Blackfoot Indian, rode horseback from state to state seeking approval

for a day to honor In dians. On December 14, 1915, he presented the endorsements of 24 state governments at the White House. There is no record, however, of such a national day being pro claimed.

The first American In dian Day in a state was declared on the second Saturday in May 1916 by the governor of New York. Several states cel ebrate the fourth Friday in September. In Illinois, for example, legislators enacted such a day in 1919. Presently, several states have designated Columbus Day as Na

tive American Day, but it continues to be a day we observe without any recognition as a national legal holiday.

In 1990 President George H. W. Bush approved a joint res olution designating No vember 1990 “National American Indian Her itage Month.” Similar proclamations, under variants on the name (in cluding “Native Amer ican Heritage Month” and “National Ameri can Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month”) have been issued each year since 1994.

In 2009 President Barack Obama signed “The Native American Heritage Day Resolu tion,” designating the Friday after Thanksgiv ing as “Native Ameri can Heritage Day.” After signing the resolution into law he stated, “I en courage every American to join me in observing Native American Her itage Day.... It is also important for all of us to understand the rich culture, tradition, and history of Native Amer icans and their status today, and to appreciate the contributions that First Americans have

made and will con-tinue to make to our nation.”

The bill, however, was only formally supported by 184 out of 567 feder ally recognized tribes.

Many Native Americans feel having the day on Black Friday diminish es the significance of the occasion, tied as it is to heavy consumer spend ing. Some also object to the day after Thanks giving, as if it were an afterthought, when it could be any other day in November.

More important is the observance the day, and month, can bring to mind. First Peoples have shaped the course of the U.S. in ways too often over-looked. Their con tributions in the forms of their culture and cus toms, their close link to the spirituality of the earth, their easy sense of the flow of time all com bine to offer a unique and powerful tapestry in society. This is a time to celebrate and honor Na tive Americans.

have a dog for a pet? There are many breeds in the canine, or dog family that are domesticated. Domesticated animals are animals that are kept as pets or live on a ranch or farm. Have you ever wondered who the first person to have a dog as a pet was? Or what kind of dog they had? Scientists have found evidence that 23,000 years ago people in Siberia had dog companions. Archaeologists have found a grave with a person and a dog buried together that is 6,000 years old. Scientists have also discovered that all dog breeds have an ancestor in common. No matter what your dog looks like today, its ancient ancestor is the wolf.

The first fossil record of a wolf was found in Indiana, in the United states, in the Ohio River valley. This wolf has become known as the dire wolf and has been extinct for 9,500 years. Scientists know a lot about this species because more than 200,000 fossils have been found and studied. To date the dire wolf is the largest canine ever found and is the ancestor of the gray wolf, or timber wolf, which is the largest species of wolf alive today. Today there are believed to be three species of wolves and up to 40 different types.

All types of wolves have scared humans for many reasons, not just their size. Wolves are pack animals. That means they like to live together and they also hunt together. A group, or pack of wolves, have enough power to kill animals as big as elk and moose. They will also kill smaller prey like rabbits, fish and birds but they prefer the larger animals because that will feed the whole pack. A hunting pack will circle its prey so it can not escape. As humans moved into the wolves’ habitat the animals found that hunting cows and horses was easier than wild animals. Another trait that wolves have that scares humans is their ability to talk, or communicate with each other. They do this by howling, yipping, whining and making other noises. A whole pack of wolves making these noises at the same time can be pretty scary.

How can you tell if a wolf’s been in the refrigerator?

By the paw prints in the butter!

Some of the smaller types of wolves include the tundra wolf, Arabian wolf, steppe wolf, Mongolian wolf and the New Guinea singing dog. All of these animals live in different parts of the world and have different characteristics. The New Guinea singing dog is called a Dingo and many people don’t think of it as a wolf, but it is. It makes its home in various parts of the South Pacific in places like Australia, New Guinea and southeast Asia. Dingos may be the most athletic of the wolf subspecies. They can run 30 miles an hour, jump two to three feet high and even climb trees.

Although most gray wolves are gray in color with lighter and darker markings these large wild dogs can be gray, brown, black, white or all of the colors mixed together. The gray wolf grows up to three feet tall at the shoulder and can be six feet long. Most gray wolves weigh between 100 to 150 pounds, but they have been known to get up to 175 pounds. Gray wolves live throughout Canada and the United States. As humans took over their habitats wolves were forced to move or were killed. They were seen as a threat to humans and livestock and populations were killed out in certain areas. They are listed as endangered but populations have started to rise as humans try to save them.

Timberwolf Football at State

On November 4 the Gold endale Timberwolf Football Team took on Tri-Cities Prep at Barthlow Field here in Goldendale. The stakes were high, as this game was the determining factor as to who would advance to State competition. The Tim berwolves were State quali fiers last year, so stress was intense. There was also concern due to the Tri-Cit ies Prep head coach being a former coach for the Tim berwolves.

The game started off strong with the Timber wolves on defense. Tri-Cities Prep tried many different plays to get the ball down the field, but the Timber wolves defensive line was too strong, forcing Tri-Cit ies to turn the ball over on downs. The Timberwolves first offensive play was a pass from Kade Bomberger, No. 08, to Cameron Groves, No. 15, for a gain of 37 yards to end on the 37-yard line.

The Timberwolves offense

tried to push the ball down the field but ended the pos session by turning the ball over. The Timberwolves held Tri-Cities once again, turning the ball over on downs, with Groves receiv ing the kick and running it down the field, to be taken down at the 39-yard line. Multiple plays were made to work their way down the field, with a final handoff to Seth Lucatero, No. 21, who ran the ball up the middle, fighting off multiple defend ers, for the first Timberwolf touchdown of the game.

The Timberwolves then tried for a two-point con version, with Lucatero run ning the ball in for a score of 8-0 to end the first quar ter. The Timberwolves held Tri-Cities turning the ball over, and the Timberwolves marched their way down the field with another run by Lucatero for the touch down, followed by a missed kick for a score of 14-0. TriCities then fumbled the ball for a Timberwolf recovery on the 41-yard line. The Timberwolves were unable to score, ending the half at

Athlete Spotlight: Sean Henrikson

All of our fall sports have come to an end now, and we love getting to bring to light the athletes who have worked so hard throughout the season. One of those athletes is Sean Henrikson. Sean was a big contender this year on the cross-coun try team, as he helped them bring home 8th overall at State.

Sean decided to compete in cross country because of his teammates and the friendships he has made over the years. Running takes a lot of will and per severance, and he is grate ful to have both of them through it all. He really does enjoy running, especially the health benefits that come from being able run such long distances. Being able to run all of those miles isn't just for anyone. To be competitive in this sport, runners must also have a strong mind set. “It doesn’t matter how fast you think you can go,” says Sean, “if you take that first step and tell yourself that you can do it, you're already halfway there.”

This season was a little bit different, as many of last year's runners either graduated or chose not to run. But, early in the sum mer, they were able to find some recruits and get them going through summer work outs. This helped eve ryone improve their times and achieve more endur ance, which is what Sean also needed to reach his goal. This year, he wanted to cut down his 5K race time from 18:51 to 17:30. With all of his hard work and dedi cation, he was able to get that time to a 17:05. It goes to show just how much time and effort can pay off. One of the things that has helped Sean through every race is controlling his breathing. He starts the controlled breathing at the starting line to help keep his mind calm and continues this breathing pattern through out the race.

A great season isn’t com plete without a little team building, and the coaches did a great job getting the kids together for ways to help. One morning, the

kids got up and ran to their coaches’ house for break fast and ping pong matches. This is one memory Sean will have forever. Those teammates of his are very important, and he wouldn’t have been able to have the season he had without them.

As Sean moves into the off-season, he will continue to stay in running shape and build up all the endur ance he can get. He will also be competing on the track team, so we look for ward to seeing what he can accomplish this spring. We are very proud of him and wish him all the luck in his future races.

Timberwolves experience early exit from State Tournament

Balancing the highs and lows of a volleyball match came in handy for the Timberwolves at the state tournament in Yakima last week. Coming off a high of winning the district cham pionship the previous week, the girls experienced the shift in momentum as they lost both of their matches on Thursday.

The tournament started at 8 a.m. with a match up against Lind-RitzvilleSprague-Washtucna-Har rington. The Timberwolves started strong, only to see their hard-hitting opponent slowly get back in the match.

All three sets were close, with scores of 24-26, 21-25, and 21-25. Serve receive

passing was a challenge, which affected the quality of offense the girls could run. Middle hitter Brook Blain, a potent part of the Timber wolves offense, was unable to get set the ball much, which spelled trouble for the purple and gold. Bright spots for the match included kills from Taryn Rising and Lydia Hanning and tough serving from Ada Garner and Emily Tindall (6 aces). The loss sent the group to the consolation bracket and an afternoon match up with Okanogan, who had lost to eventual State Champion LaConner.

The match versus Oka nogan started out tough for the Wolves as they dropped

the first set 18-25. The Tim berwolves showed their “never give up” attitude and kept working hard, giv ing their opponent all they could handle with scores of 24-26 in both set 2 and 3. Better serve receive passing enabled Blain to get involved in the offense, which helped keep the match close. Rising had 16 kills and Blain, 13.

The high-jumping loggers were just too much for the Timberwolf defense as they hit the ball over and past the Timberwolf block mostly at will. It stung to lose and be out of the tournament on the first day, but the Tim berwolves reflected on their great season, amazing fans, and teammates before leav

ing the Sundome. The Tim berwolves finished with a record of 18-4.

Total statistics for the state tournament: Gwen Gilliam 35PP, 25 Digs and 13 kills. Taryn Rising 24-24 serving, 23 PP, 21 digs and 29 kills. Brooke Blain 18 Kills and 8 stuff blocks. Emily Tindall 6 aces, 15 digs, 58 assists. Lydia Hanning 10 Kills, 14-16 serving, 2aces.

Brylee Mulrony 22-22 serv ing, 21 digs, 30 PP, Ada Gar ner 13-14 serving, 11 digs Lexi Molnar 16 digs, 3-4 serving, Greta Gilliam 6-6 serving 10 digs.
