Answer to last week’s Mystery Picture
This week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture
Here’s what we know about this picture: there are people in it. Oh, and apparently it was the reunion photo of the class of 1934. But who are these people? When was this picture taken? Where? 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. com), or give us a call (509-
773-3777), or drop in at the office—and remember, you’re welcome to come in and take a look at the original photograph.

Ceiling prices have been set on meat by the War Rationing Board, but oddly enough, Goldendale residents have been able to buy their meat much cheaper than the ceiling price. Hamburger sells here for 25 to 30 cents, yet the ceiling price is 50 cents. Sirloin steaks sell here at .38 and the limit has been set here at .48. All cuts of meat have been sold here more cheaply than in nearly any other place in the United States. Maximum retail prices set are leg of lamb, .45, lamb rib chops, .52; veal cutlet, .54, and beef rib roast .40.

Ervin Anderson, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Anderson of Goldendale, was awarded the Ledbetter Hereford Foundation heifer during the Saturday afternoon show at the recent fair. The foundation was started in 1944 when Orin Lee Dayton was awarded a Hereford heifer from the Art Schuster herd. In 1945 Ledbetter purchased another heifer from Schuster. This one was awarded to Eugene Forrester. John Miller was given a foundation heifer in 1947, and in 1949 his brother Jim received the award. In 1951 Kay Jaekel was awarded a heifer from the project. Ledbetter is very anxious to have the project carried on helping to increase and improve the purebred Hereford cattle in the county.

Television is due to arrive in Goldendale and the rest of the area Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. when programming is scheduled from KOIN-TV in Portland. The station will start telecasting on 50,000 watts of power and eventually boost the total to 100,000 watts. A fair test signal has been coming into the fringe area, but the reception is expected to improve greatly with the beginning of regular shows and full station power. TV antennas are springing up all over town, and enthusiasts report varying degrees of success getting the test pattern to come in. Ole Spoon, local technician, said he has put up about 20 antennas in town so far and has orders for 20 more.

“Something new for you” is the theme this week of an announcement made jointly by Wishram TV Cable Company and the publishers of the Goldendale Sentinel. Beginning today, a daily broadcast of the latest local news will be made over channel 13, Wishram TV’s FM music channel. The tentative plan is to give a short report of news within the 10-minute period from 5:50 to 6:00 p.m. each day, Monday through Friday. A special phone line for this broadcast was put in several weeks ago to connect the Sentinel with Wishram TV.
October 11, 1973 – 50 Years Ago
Goldendale Observatory, now a reality, began as a dream. The dream was first expressed in Goldendale in 1964 when two Vancouver men, M.W. McConnell and John Marshall, and their wives came to Goldendale and had lunch at Tol’s Bus Depot Café. Mr. Tol called Mayor George Nesbitt and a few community leaders to hear what these men had to say. They were asking for a home for a telescope. They had come 120 miles from Vancouver and in that distance, Goldendale was the first location that offered the climatic conditions they felt were essential. They would like to enlist the aid of persons who might wish to see an observatory located here.
October 10, 1985 – 38 Years Ago
Thurman E. Ward, longtime Goldendale Attorney, has just been honored by the Washington State Bar Association for 50 years of membership. He has practiced law in Goldendale all those years except the three years he was in the Army. Ward’s father, E.C. Ward, lived all his life in Goldendale and was also an attorney. What’s the biggest difference in the way he practices law today, compared to his early years of the practice? “The biggest change is the volume of litigation,” he said, “There’s more volume now in a month than in a year in the 1930s and 1940s.”

Don’t ostracize people for not having a home
Recent years have been tremendously difficult for everyone. Some have not fared as well as others. The cost of living has been driven up through skyrocketing housing prices and huge increases in necessities like food and fuel. But living wages have not kept up. So, for some, this has left them without a roof over their heads.
These community members call the Gorge home, and for some that may mean Goldendale in particular. But they don’t have the basic shelter of a house to live in. We are all better if we pull together to help people in this situation, rather than ostracizing them and making them feel unwelcome for the simple fact that they don’t have what we have—a place to live.
Guest Editorial Leslie Naramore, Executive Director, WAGAP
Our WAGAP team just went to The Dalles on Thursday this past week to celebrate with Mid-Columbia Community Action Council (MCCAC) and Nch’i Wana Housing for the official grand opening of The Annex, the transitional housing and shelter for people experiencing houselessness in Hood River, Wasco, and Sherman counties. This amazing new facility includes wraparound services with culturally specific case management, healthcare, behavioral healthcare, respite medical care, jail diversion programming, employment resources, and rapid rehousing resources.
It was a massive effort for MCCAC to make this a reality, and they ran into so much NIMBYism (not in my backyard) in the process. But one of their biggest supporters is the Wasco County Sheriff, and I hear he made a wonderful speech at the grand opening to explain why it is so important to the community to support people who have fallen into houselessness. Besides getting people the help they need, this facility will keep his resources free to focus on actual law enforcement.
So, for someone who might think WAGAP is busing houseless people from The Dalles to Goldendale, The Dalles now has the best resource system in the Region, and that would be ridiculous. We can only hope that one day we’ll be able to pool our resources together on the Washington side to have a facility as robust with onsite services to help people get back on their feet, as they get all of the help they need and get back to living under their own roofs.
Until then, our amazing team at WAGAP will continue to serve those facing poverty in Klickitat and Skamania counties. Helping People. Changing Lives. That’s what we do.
I truly hope that your readers and those asking these questions can find it their heart to remember that we’re all human, we’re all doing the best we can with very different resources and life experiences. I hope that we can all take a step back to remember our common humanity.

Burn-out has got to go
The Festival of Wheels gave it another try this year. It seems the attendance has dwindled to much lower levels than when the event was new, 10 years ago. There are a lot of competing car shows this time of year, so it doesn’t surprise me .
This year Goldendale Motorsports Association and ABATE brought back the burn-out, which was tried several times in the past with questionable benefits to the town. This year someone had the brilliant idea to use the old skateboard park as a place to stage the return of the burnout. It was held on the concrete slab, a tempting medium for anyone inclined to bum rubber. Rednecks of many degrees, punk kids or maybe the little old lady from Pasadena. I personally was left with a bad taste in my mouth and lungs. Even though I made it a point to stay away from the burn-out and was at my home where I thought I would escape the noise and smoke, when the toxic cloud rose from the park and drifted over the Little Klickitat River Park (the swimming pool) on to the kids and families at the pool and on to me while I was sitting on my property. We were contaminated by the toxins in the smoke, and my eyes and throat were imitated, and my lungs filled with carbon monoxide and other cancer causing toxic compounds
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 burnouts in any ones neighborhood or any street in the Goldendale city limits. I would appreciate some support from like-minded citizens at the council meeting. Let them know how you feel.

I 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 particularly found offensive.
I contacted the bank for an explanation. The answer was essentially that “we wouldn’t do that.” Then why is it in your documents, I asked. The answer was to send me up the chain of command. The second person gave the same answer as the first and then was to have me contacted by some-one higher up. That person has not contacted me after more than a week so I am following through on what I told the bank contacts I was going to do—write a letter to the editor to be sure local folks are aware of how Columbia Bank is choosing to deal with its account holders.
My concern is that a comment as broad as this opens the door for abuse. I have had no difficulties with our local branch and am sorry that the headquarters has decided to take such a hard line. It ap-pears I will need to look for a bank that does not behave in this manner.

Letters from the community
We need this
The cost and complexities of public service agencies have continually increased as they struggle to provide the best experiences for their constituents. One strategy to accommodate this increase in costs is mergers with other agencies. Thus, we have seen schools consolidate, a county-wide emergency services agency established, and, in the west end of Klickitat County, two cities share a municipal police department. These consolidations improve efficiency and save resources.
Now, voters in the city of White Salmon and in Fire District 3 have the opportunity to follow this pattern and form a Regional Fire Authority, or RFA, basically a merger of the two districts. Presently each fire department operates separately and is staffed by volunteer fire fighters. Each volunteer is required to undergo extensive and time-consuming training in preparation for their commitment to be available at any time—day or night, weekday or weekend, regular days, or holidays—to respond to a variety of emergencies. Formation of an
Guidelines for Letters
RFA will provide the opportunity to increase the number of volunteers available, markedly improve their training experience and pool the resources of each department. The next time you see a volunteer firefighter, thank them for their dedicated service to protect you, your family, and your home or business. Then please vote in favor of forming the RFA.
Letters to the editor should be original and comment on an issue. Deadline for letters is noon Monday for the same week’s paper.
Requests to keep letters exactly as they were written when published cannot be honored. All letters are subject to editing for grammar, spelling, clarity, and/or brevity. There is a suggested length limit of about 300 words, though more may be allowed if there are fewer letters.
Unsigned letters (including anonymity requests), letters with fictitious signatures, letters with multiple signatures, or letters to public officials are not accepted. Please keep the tone of letters free of rants, wild speculation, unsubstantiated claims, or pointedly personal comments. Letters that go overboard in these directions may be refused publication.
Writers must include name, city/town of residence, and phone number for verification purposes. (Street address is not required, only city or town.)

Happy Fall, everyone. The colors of the trees remind us that it’s time for the Glenwood Homemakers’ annual Fall Bazaar. The bazaar will be held in the Glenwood School on Saturday, October 21, starting at 9 a.m. It’s always a great place for early Christmas shopping. There will be so many beautiful homemade items. Shopping for “Made in America” products is great, but shopping for “Made in America by local friends” is even better. The Homemakers will be serving delicious breakfast and lunch foods to be purchased in the lunchroom, so come enjoy a really special day in Glenwood on Saturday.
Glenwood School Superintendent Ms. Elyse Mengarelli shared the exciting news that our Glenwood 6th-grade
It’s all free—fun and games all wrapped up with education about farm animals and their habitat that can be found at the Howards Haven Animal Sanctuary at 38 Monogan Howard Road in Lyle.

Judges will be going over their checklist as they scan the line of little munchkins all dressed up and standing at attention for the Halloween costume contest at the Lyle Activity Center on Halloween night. Participating residents will also be judged on how well they decorate their vehicle’s trunk for the Trunk or Treats event. There will also be a pumpkin decorating station as well as games and fun for all. The whole thing starts at 5 p.m. with the contests at 6 p.m., so don’t be late.

Speaking of voting, there are four open seats on the Lyle Community Council to be filled on November 8. Voting will be held at the Lyle Activity Center at 6:30 p.m. The council would appreciate your presence at this and every meeting they hold on the second Wednesday of each month.
Now we’re back to the Lyle Activity Center again—busy little place, isn’t it? It’s our hub for separate activities that organizations, as well as residents, can use. It can be rented for a small fee, but they are always open for Karen Beck to hold the Lyle Christmas Craft Bazaar each year because all the proceeds, from the rent of the vendor booths and the sale of cookies and coffee, go directly to the coffers that keep the lights lit, the water flowing, and temperature comfortable. So be sure to check off the names on your Christmas list as you shop the diverse vendor tables.
I’m sure one of Karen’s famous quilts will be on hand for you to admire and bid on.
The latest Lion’s news: as of October, the Lyle Lions have resumed their bimonthly meetings on first and third Mondays at 6 p.m. at the Lyle Lions Community Center. Fall in Lyle is time for our annual eye exams at the Lyle School. Working with Lions from Oregon, the school screened 87 kids in grades K, 1, 3, 5, and 7.

grade student teams from Washington State Public and Tribal schools were invited to participate, and our 6th graders were chosen as one of the presenting teams this year. Way to go, 6th graders. And if that’s not enough excitement for those Glenwood 6th graders, here’s more great news shared by Ms. Mengarelli. The 6th graders partnered with the Glenwood 7th graders and participated in the STEM Hub’s first-ever Rube-A-Thon competition at Columbia Gorge Community College last Friday. Ms. Mengarelli stated, “They competed against six other schools to create a Rube Goldberg contraption with the goal of putting toothpaste on a

Our local Twin Bridges Museum held their annual fundraiser at the Lyle Lions Community Center on September 23. Lions provided the building and volunteer help for the fun dinner and silent auction. Beneventi’s provided an awesome spaghetti dinner, museum ladies made great deserts, and over $3,000 was raised by the full house! They also host a weekly senior lunch program on Tuesdays (have you seen their new feather flag?) and have received food donations from the community. They thank Benedetti’s and the museum, the WAGAP food bank, and the Lyle Fire Department for their contributions.
Have you ever wondered who puts the flags up in Lyle for holidays like Veterans Day? Yes, it’s the Lions! For all you animal lovers—and who isn’t?— the Home At Last Humane Society is calling out for a little help in getting their occupants fed. They are running short of pet food and would appreciate a few dollars or even dog food to be donated for their cause. Contact information is: 200 River Road in The Dalles, phone (541) 296-5789 or email info@homeatlasths. org. You’d help a worthwhile organization as well as give yourself a good-all-over feeling.

O BITUARIES
Donna Dorene McGill
Donna Dorene McGill passed away September 27, 2023, at her home in Goldendale. She was born August 26, 1933, to Edith Willesen and James Hansen. She was preceded in death by her husband, Melvin McGill, who passed away in 2019. They were married for 66.5 years. Donna had 13 siblings, two surviving her: Mary Lou Prior and Randal Hansen, both living in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Donna looked forward to her talks with Mary Lou every day. Donna is survived by her family who loved and cared for her in her final days: sons Wayne McGill and Patricia, Kenneth McGill and wife Donna, Royal McGill and wife Beverly, Marvin and his wife Julie; daughter Terri Olson and husband Rex; seven grandchildren; and 10 greatgrandchildren. There were many, others who affectingly called her Grandma.
As a young girl, Donna was a hard worker. She lived in Utah. She worked in the beet fields, a café, and a sewing factory. She graduated high school from Gunnison High School in Southern Utah. She met and married Melvin McGill December 31, 1953, in Mabton, Washington. They made Goldendale their home. Throughout her life, Donna was very active in her community. She was a cook at Head Start for years. She was a caregiver both professionally and for those she loved. Earlier in her life,
Donna loved to bowl and was in the bowling league. She was involved in Gleaners until her health declined. She loved to crochet potholders. You might just have one! She loved those estate sales. She so appreciated her grandson driving her around the countryside taking her on adventures! She loved to be in her garden, camping, cooking, or baking her banana bread to share with her friends and family. Donna had a competitive side. She loved to play dice even at the end of her life when it was hard to play. She could roll a mean hand and show no mercy. She knew when and could tell you, “That’s enough.” She loved visiting her great-grandchildren; they meant the world to her. We sure will miss her.
Faith and Family were important to her. It didn’t matter how you become family. You would always be loved by her. She welcomed with open arms! She loved unconditionally. It didn’t matter if you live close or far away. You knew you were loved. Even at the end of her life she would call and check on her family. She was born a caretaker and left a caretaker. She was kind and mighty, as we should be.
A Memorial will be held for Donna McGill on October 21, 2023, at 1 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 104 W. McKinley Street, Goldendale.
9-1-1 communications officers help during baby delivery
On September 26, a call came into the Klickitat County Emergency Communications Center nonemergency line at 3:39 a.m. that would immediately change from non-emergency.
The initial call came in a few seconds prior and had dropped due to poor cell phone service coverage. On the second call, Communications Officer Pam Schilling quickly recognized the caller, as it often happens in a small rural county. The caller told her that she was having a baby and was on Centerville Highway in Lyle. Pam, with over 29 years of experience and as a certified Emergency Medical Dispatcher, began gathering information when she was told the mom’s water broke—delivery at the side of the road was imminent at this point.
Working the call with Pam, Communications Officer Shellie Whitner immediately paged out High Prairie Fire Department EMS Volunteers and a Klickitat County EMS District Ambulance. Shellie ensured help was coming, allowing Pam to focus her attention on mom and baby, who made her appearance to this world at 3:45 a.m. just minutes after the fire page.

The Pacific Northwest Region of the USDA Forest Service will be accepting applications for permanent seasonal jobs from October 19 to November 22. There are hundreds of entry-level permanent seasonal forestry technician and forestry aid positions available in exciting and rewarding locations across the nation, including 436 positions across Washington and Oregon.
The Forest Service manages over 193 million acres of the nation’s forests and grasslands, and the jobs are as diverse as the landscapes it manages. Forestry aids and technicians work in a variety of natural resource and recreation functions and can make a difference by helping to reduce the threat of wildfires, improve habitats for wildlife, decrease the spread of invasive plant species, enhance visitor experiences, and so much more. These positions are ideal for individuals who are dedicated, hardworking, and committed to protecting and preserving the nation’s forests and natural resources.
Seasonal employment is a great way to begin a lifelong career with the Forest Service and make an impact on managing these landscapes for future generations. Permanent
Klickitat County Emergency Communications personnel say they are very proud of their team and excited for this rare career experience. “Our rural communities do not have OB care, and as a result, our center has had several near baby deliveries over the years,” said Chief of Operations Filiberto Ontiveros. “It is something we train for. As 9-1-1 Communications Officers, we invest ourselves into the calls we take, and it is a great celebration when our efforts result in not only a good outcome but an additional little life.”
The Center welcomed Communications Officers
Forest Service hiring permanent seasonal jobs
seasonal positions offer a 13/13 schedule, which means employees work 13 pay periods (6 months) and have the remaining 13 pay periods (6 months) off. These positions have career status and may be increased to 18/8 (18 pay periods of work, 8 pay periods off) or

Naramore says rumors of this nature are widespread about similar organizations. “I am currently in a statewide association meeting with service providers from each of Washington’s 39 counties,” she said last week, “and I asked the directors if they’ve ever had this question asked of them, of busing in homeless people, and each person responded in

Sentinel: What are the immediate and long-range concerns you see facing Goldendale, and what do you see as the best courses of action to address those?
David: The immediate problem I see is public safety concerns. We’re seeing a rising crime rate when it comes to homeless problems coming to town. We’re seeing a lot more of that. What I see that solves that is, I support law enforcement and public safety initiatives.
Sentinel: What about long-range?
David: I’d like to see us be able to work an extra police office into the budget. Our police department has been shorthanded for a while. And we have some debt we need to work out. I’d like to get out of debt, be more fiscally responsible that way.
Sentinel: Is there anything else we haven’t covered that you like to add?
David: I’m just coming at this with a commonsense approach. My priorities are infrastructure. We have great water here and wastewater treatment, and there are always upgrades and issues that need to be addressed with our water delivery and our wells, the overall infrastructure of the

Nararmore adds the public is welcome to connect with WAGAP if they have any questions on homeless issues or if they want to learn more about what the agency does to support those who face poverty in Klickitat and Skamania Counties. “They can visit our website at www.wagap. org to learn about all we do or email info@wagap.org with specific questions,” she says.
town. We’re in good shape right now, but it always needs to be improved, and that costs a lot of money. My priorities are infrastructure and public safety. Those are the two top priorities I see.
Sentinel: What additionally would you do for public safety besides adding another police officer?
David: The concern I hear a lot around town is people are afraid to let their kids go to the parks because of reports of drug paraphernalia being found at the parks. I want a stronger police presence at the parks. No overnight unauthorized camping in the parks. That’s a good place to start, I think. Make it so people feel safe to let their kids go to the park without having to worry about what they might fi nd. I’ve worked my whole life right next to World War II Park, so I see what goes on there. The same with Ekone. If we don’t have parks that people feel comfortable going to, what’s the use of having them?
Sentinel: Any final thoughts?
David: Goldendale is my home. I was born here. I’m not going anywhere. And I want this to be as good a place for people growing up as it was for me.

protect but only distracts. Anger at every person who believes and repeats everything they hear about addiction being a choice. At the soul-killing stigma placed on people with OUD [Opioid Use Disorder]. Anger at the ridiculous media reports that focus on opinions and positions and not real facts. Instagram DMs and Snapchat—that evil chain of communication between predator and prey. And, most of all, anger at myself: I failed my child. Bottom line. He was entrusted to me.”
She is tormented by a sense of neglected responsibility as a parent. It’s day in and day out, and in countless sleepless nights, a storm of terror that haunts her as fully as the pain she sees her son going through. “What could I have done differently?” she ponders. “What didn’t I see? What did I refuse to see? Will he survive? And if he doesn’t, will I? And what about my other kids? Are they okay? Are they also irreparably scarred? Will they too turn to a lethal substance to ease the stress of it all?”
The worst of it, she laments, is seeing her son taken by the vampires of the modern age who suck the lifeblood from their victims for their own purposes, wantonly, indiscriminately. “I’ve seen my intelligent, tender-hearted, strong, funny, creative,

The pledge cards will be prominently displayed in the pharmacy.

beautiful son become someone I don’t recognize,” she states. “I have missed him for the better part of five years. Longer, really. “Time has been stolen from us. Memories that will never be made. Time is precious, and too much of it has been fraught with impossibly painful days. But the hardest part as a mother is simply that I was robbed of the freedom of not knowing. No parent should ever have to know what it’s like to walk down the hallway of their child’s home, calling their name, heart beating so hard, sick to your stomach with anxiety, fearing you will find them dead. No parent should have to know the relentless anxiety waiting for the phone call, the one that tells you that your child is on the way to the local hospital, unresponsive and likely unable to be resuscitated, and you should get there as quickly as you are able. Able? I can’t think. I can’t breathe. I can’t face life on this planet without him. I can’t face my other kids if he dies. No parent should have to make sure there’s a photo taken of their child every time they see them, in case it’s the last time they see them alive.”

Eide says about 75% of her pharmacy’s patients who get opioid prescriptions respond positively.
“What I like about the program being partnered with the Department of Health is that lots of people know that they should lock up their medications but don’t have the resources to do it on their own,” Eide states. “Being able to provide them with

There is no detox bed available for him, no staff on weekends, and for the moment no more fentanyl. It’s small wonder that some parents, seeing their children in such anguish, go fetch more fentanyl for their children just to end the sight of horrific pain.
“I’ve stood over my own flesh and blood, watching his shallow breathing, watching his color get worse and worse, and wondered, for a split second, if it would just be better to let him go,” Carol shares. “He’s suffering every single day. He’s so sick. The misery is endless for him now.”
But the suffering doesn’t end at her front door. Carol is acutely aware of the same horror unfolding in home after home, an equal opportunity destroyer, uncaring of color or faith or ethnicity. White or tribal or Hispanic or Black or homeless or mansion-ensconced, all are equal in the sight of the dealer who makes his living by wreaking death and destruction on human life.
“No family should know how it feels to be shamed or ignored or attacked when they ask for help or provide information to law enforcement, or simply need their own support services to be able to survive the day,” Carol considers. “Our community is under attack.
the locking bag or a locking prescription bottle at no charge makes it a lot easier for them to sign that pledge and say,’Yeah, I can lock up my medications now that I have the device to do so.’”
Once patients sign up, they are able to receive some of the safety devices supplied by the DOH. “So it’s great that we can we give them right away, have the conversation about why it’s so important to store them locked, give
And I know it. And I don’t want to know it. What if it’s too far out of control? What if there’s nothing we can really do? Did we wait too long?”
What happens when the next designer wave of opioids, now already in development, hits? Every healthcare professional knows it. Every dealer knows it. Carol fears that common consensus is far too much a part of the problem. “For every person who believes someone would choose to be held captive in addiction,” she says, “they too have played a part. Stigmas scar everyone. We reject our own humanity and allow greed and ruthless, murderous drug dealers to rule over our streets and ravage our families. We have allowed our community to become an epicenter for drug trafficking. And there is no help coming. Law enforcement refuses to focus on dealers. Excuses of tied hands are wearing thin. The truth is, we are on our own. Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, grandmothers, educators, friends—we are fi ghting a battle so much bigger than we are able to fight.” Still, she says, and even Todd somewhere in the periphery of his pained contemplation agrees, we must try. “It’s life or death,” she concludes. Todd is the living exemplar of that awful dichotomy.
them the device, and then ask for a pledge.”
People have been excited about the program, Eide shares. “I think as we continue to get it rolled out more, we probably will get some success stories.” Goldendale Pharmacy offers two different devices for safe storage. One is a bag similar to bank money bags with a lock on it. The other is a prescription bottle with a combination lock cap.

Scope of Work - Overview: The City of Goldendale Washington is requesting proposals from qualified firms to provide quotes for phone telecommunications equipment needed and support services to improve how the voice networks are configured within the City of Goldendale’s phone network.
Objective of this RFP: City of Goldendale invites you to submit quotes for thirty phone telecommunications equipment, equivalent to a Yealink Prime Business Phone, needed to improve how the voice networks are configured within the City’s network. Evaluation Process: The Evalu-
ation team will consider how well the vendor's proposed solution meets the needs of the City as described in the vendor's response requirement. It is important that the responses be clear, concise and complete so the evaluators can adequately understand all aspects of the proposal in a concise manner.

The City also reserves the right to reject all proposals and to solicit a wider field of vendors if the first RFP’s received are both inadequate and too costly. This RFP provides general information as well as the required format for responses. Your submitted response will be the primary source of information used for system evaluation and selection. Please include all required and appropriate information with your proposal. During the RFP review process other sources of information submitted, either written or verbal, will be considered part of your proposal. Upon selection, that vendor will submit a copy of their IRS Form W-9 and a copy of your Washington State UBI#. The City of Goldendale reserves the right to reject any or all submittals, and to waive any irregularities or information in the evaluation process. The final decision is at the sole discretion of The City of Goldendale. Instruction to Vendors: Please have your proposal delivered to us prior to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, November 3, 2023.

Fire safety for the elderly
According to a report published by the U.S. Fire Administration, people over the age of 65 face the greatest risk of dying in a fi re. That is more than twoand-a-half times that of the general population of the United States. As people age, they may become unable to react quickly in emergency situations, or may take medication that slows their ability to make rapid decisions.
Last year in Washington State, 63 percent of the people who died in fires were age 50 or older. The State Fire Marshal’s Office encourages the following safety tips:
Why take drugs when you can hold me instead?
• For the hearing impaired, consider installing smoke alarms with a shaker or strobe light.
• When cooking, never leave the room and move things that can burn away from the stove.
• Get fi replaces and wood stoves inspected annually.
• Make sure you have two ways out from your home and create a home escape plan.
• If using a space heater, make sure that they are at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn.
• Smoking is the number one cause of fi res that kill
• Have working smoke alarms in the home and test them monthly.
older adults. Never smoke in bed or around any oxygen tanks being used.
• Avoid any open flames in your home such as candles. Consider battery operated candles instead.
• You should have at least one fi re extinguisher near every fi re hazard, whether in the kitchen, the fi replace, wood stove, or furnace room. Make sure that they are operational.
• If you use a walker or a wheelchair, check all exits to be sure that you can exit safely through them.

During the time of westward expansion, the life of explorers and settlers was harsh. They experienced animals and native peoples they had never seen. There were open prairies and mountains to be crossed and battles were fought. After the Civil War, novels were written about the wild lives lived by cowboys, bandits and “the savage Indians”. The people in the Eastern part of the United States loved these stories and they were turned into plays. The plays were so successful people decided they could make a lot of money if they gathered real characters from the west and put on outdoor shows. These outdoor shows were known as Wild West shows and they became very popular both in the U.S. and in Europe. People wanted to see “real Indians” and cowboys, outlaws and lawmen fight before their eyes.
Amazing Trick Riders!
When you went to one of these shows, you would see riders performing horseback stunts. The stunt riders were men but there were some women. They would be dressed in bright colored clothes to get the audience’s attention. They would stand up on the horses and ride around the arena, and some were good enough to do a headstand while riding. These riders would jump from one horse to another and they would shoot at targets as they rode.

High Diving Horses!
In 1908, a girl named Mamie Francis and her horse Babe gave audiences the most thrilling performance they had ever seen. Mamie and Babe would climb a 50 foot tower. At the bottom of the tower was a ten foot wide tub of water. Bravely, Mamie would get Babe to go to the edge of the platform. The horse would dive off the tower into the pool of water. The two made this jump over 600 times by 1914.

Drama ANDexcitement of Little Big Horn!
Battle scenes were staged with “Wild Indians” and criminals. Stagecoach robberies took place right in front of the audience. Native American captives were paraded around the arena. The Native Americans were the bad guys and the cowboys and soldiers in the shows always won. The shows had posters that were hung around towns to advertise that savages would be there. Sitting Bull and Geronimo became household names. The Indians would perform horseback riding tricks and show how good they were at shooting bows and arrows. There would also be staged battles like The Battle of Little Bighorn. The Native performers were very popular in Europe where no one had seen an “American Indian” before.
At one time, there were more than 30 Wild West Shows touring the United States and around the world. Some were very successful like the 101 Ranch show which was in Europe at the outbreak of WWI. The English confiscated much of their equipment for the war and the Germans arrested all of the Native Americans as spies.

The motion picture industry eventually caused the end to the wild west outdoor shows. Many movie stars were born from the shows. Actors like Tom Mix and Will Rogers began their careers on tour. Pawnee Bill, Buffalo Bill Cody, Annie Oakley and Calamity Jane became household names and their pictures were on thousands of posters. Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph, Geronimo and Red Cloud were all part of the Native American starring attraction list. Many of these performed before European royalty and American Presidents. These elaborate productions have gone down in history as the shows that kept the American west lifestyle alive even after the industrial revolution.
