CANDIDATES NIGHT POORLY ATTENDED: There were marginally more people in the audience than candidates at Monday night’s Candidates Night at the Goldendale Grange Hall. Here, School Board Position No. 1 candidate Chris Twohy speaks at the podium. Other candidates speaking were, at table left to right, Danielle Clevidence, David Jones, Michael Standley, and Theone Wheeler. Moderator John Miller stands in background. The entire evening lasted about an hour. Only Standley offered no positions or opinions on issues. Candidates Darlene Williamson and Filiberto Ontiveros Jr. were no-shows.
The Sentinel continues its interviews with local candidates for political office. This week we present our conversation with Danielle Clevidence, running for Goldendale City Council Position 5.
Sentinel: Would you give us a basic summary of your background?
Danielle: Certainly. I’m retired now after 30 years in the Navy, and I was a command master chief. I absolutely loved it. During that time, I received three awards for military outstanding volunteer service. I love doing that, and I was able to help countless sailors and marines also do that, to teach them how to work for their communities. I retired in 2018, and since then I’ve lived here. I’ve been volunteering a lot of my time with the American Legion. I was their manager in the restaurant area for quite some time. And I volunteer with the Art at the Heart of Goldendale, which is great. Those women are brilliant. Unfortunately, I have zero artistic skills, but what I do have are other skills that I’m able to do. I’m great with grunt work and them saying, “Hey, Danielle, can you grab me this?” Or “Can you do that?” So that’s been a lot of fun, and I’ve actually been able to sculpt a few things since then. I am with Friends of the Library, so I’ve been able to volunteer there on the book sales and things like that. I made a cake for the ice cream social. I’m part of the [Sheriff’s] Posse, so I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to help evacuate people during the fires and stand watch to make sure nobody comes through and they can’t steal people’s things while evacuations are going on. I’ve been able to work with the Home and Garden shows and things like that, so that’s been fun, too.
“I think the drug problem is huge, bigger than a lot of people think... It’s easy to walk right by them.”
Sentinel: Why do you feel you are the better candidate for this position?
They
want to bring back the trains
In 1889, Goldendale incorporated the Columbia Valley & Goldendale Railroad to run through town. By May of 1903, the line was completed from Goldendale to Lyle, and by 1908 it was connected to the newly completed mainline from Portland to Spokane. The rail lines ran regular passenger and freight, serving the mills, the logging industry, and agriculture. As transportation needs evolved and those industries shut down their operations, the line became less useful until it was ended in 1990. An effort was made to save the line by using it for tourism and rail excursions, but that was apparently unsuccessful. By 1992, the line was removed, though the railbed was left almost completely intact. Part of the line was successfully converted into a hiking trail through the Rails to Trails Conservancy program. A grassroots effort is now underway to breathe new life into the railroad in Klickitat County, starting in Goldendale. Friends of the Klickitat Railroad is an organization established to explore ways to bring as much of the railroad back to life as possible, starting with a railroad museum based in Goldendale. The museum would potentially include logging, as rail was a significant part of the logging industry, and it played a major role in the history of Klickitat County. Space
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 them?
Danielle: I think the drug problem is huge, and I think it’s bigger than a lot of people think, because if you see somebody who’s on drugs, it’s easy to walk right by them. I am a firm believer that you can try to lead someone to water, but you can’t make them drink. However, there are ways that you can ensure that they drink as much water as they can and try to help them that way rather than just ignoring the problem, which I feel has been happening for years now. Hopefully now that we have this little law that helps free up the police officers to be able to do their jobs a little bit, at least more than what they were able to do. I think with that alone, hopefully we’ll have citizen patrols and more people will say, “We’re not going to allow this to happen here” and try to help to see what we can do. Alcohol, too, that’s huge here as well, I’ve found. Just be able to ask them if they’re okay. That might be all they needed in order
Danielle: My experience in both leadership and in community service, literally the community service, I have that down to a science. I’m very much into action and results rather than just having good ideas and expecting things to just all of a sudden change. I don’t like excuses. I don’t like red tape. I tend to push through that type of thing. And when I say push through, I mean I find ways to get rid of the red tape, or with the people with excuses, I go around them. There are always ways if it’s a good idea and it’s here to help the community. Now, it doesn’t mean that everything happens overnight. I’ll give you some examples. Just trying to get the signs to block off streets for parades—it’s very difficult. People said, “Well, it’s the city’s job.” “Well, no, it’s the county’s. No, it’s this.” It sounds silly, but the time that it takes to try to figure all of that out is ridiculous. I think things like that can be so simplified. I like things simple. I was a mechanic in the Navy, aircraft mechanic. My IQ may not be super high, but I’m a really hard worker, and I know how to get things done. I like to keep the lowest possible denominator so everybody has a chance to get things done. If it’s to help our community, I don’t see why we would want to have red tape on it. It should be easy.
Voting across Washington has begun
County elections statewide have distributed ballots for the state’s 4.8 million registered voters to participate in the 2023 General Election. Ballots must be returned to a county drop box or voting center by 8 p.m. November 7 or postmarked by November 7 if mailed in to be accepted. All 39 counties have races on the ballot in this election, with 3,095 offices up for election and 128 local measures to be decided.
Secretary of State Steve Hobbs encourages all voters to use the state’s comprehensive system of trustworthy resources to participate in this election. State and county elections officials provide voters’ pamphlets with election information to every registered voter’s home address. Voters can vote independently and securely using the 590 official drop boxes and voting centers administered by county governments. All voters can use VoteWA.gov to check their ballot status and sign up for cellphone text updates as their ballots are processed.
“We work hard to ensure your vote is safe and secure before, during, and after every election,” Hobbs said. “Every voter in Wash-
ington can be confident that when they use that county ballot box or the mail to submit their ballot on time, their voice will be heard.” For the first time, the statewide Voters’ Pamphlet includes expanded resources voters can use to learn more about the state’s budget and fiscal decisions by internet or phone. Statewide Voters’ Pamphlets are available in English, Spanish, and audio-only versions at the Secretary of State’s website, which also has King County editions available in Chinese and Vietnamese. Voters who have not yet registered can still participate in the November 7 General Election. Online registration via VoteWA. gov or registration forms submitted by mail must be received by Oct. 30. In-person registration at county elections offices is also available until voting closes at 8 p.m. November 7. “This election is an opportunity to make important local decisions in every county across the state,” Hobbs said. “Washington’s elections are fair and transparent, and our priority is to continue providing trustworthy and convenient access to empower voters in every community.”
October 28 will be the date to honor some of Klickitat County’s outstanding 4-H leaders and 4-H members. Martin Taylor will be inducted into the Washington State 4-H Hall of Fame.
His outstanding dedication to 4-H has made him a perfect candidate.
At the same ceremony, Brandi (Vance) Coons will be honored with the Heather Rider Award for her 4-H years as well as the influence in her life.
She has put her 4-H knowledge in her future as a wife, a graduate of University of Idaho with a degree in Agricultural Science and a new career in Agricultural Business. The Heather Rider Award is given to a young person between the ages of 19-22 years who has been influential in helping younger 4-H members and how 4-H has affected her future.
At the same time, our 4-H Leader of 2023 will be recognized. Terry Arnold has dedicated a great share of her time to teaching young 4-H members along with providing a county forum for Foods Day and Clothing Day. She has taught skills and provided a forum for 4-Hers to learn and demonstrate skills that they will use for a lifetime.
Taryn Miller was selected by her peers and leaders as this year’s Outstanding Youth for 2023. Taryn is a
leader, one to always give a hand when needed whether asked or she just sees the need. Her sportsmanship and “What a good job you did” attitude, no matter how the other person is feeling, is always helpful.
Achievement Day
Along with the state awards, Klickitat County was able to provide year-end awards sponsored in leadership and project growth to our local youth who completed record books and an interview that showcased the growth in the 4-H projects, contributions to the community, and leadership skills:

some kind of public event. But who are these people? When was this picture taken? Where? Why? All we know is that this picture ran

October 5, 1893 – 130 Years Ago
The fi rst carload of fruit ever shipped from Hood River left on the 23rd. It was shipped by Messrs. Warren, Perry, and Blythe, and carried this legend: “I’m full of prunes from Hood River, Oregon. What’s the matter with you?”
October 20, 1898 – 125 Years Ago
There should be 20 residences built in Goldendale at once that rent for about $6 to $8 per month. There are not enough rentable houses to supply the demand.
October 16, 1913 – 110 Years Ago
Twelve mammoth pumpkins, the smallest weighing 38 pounds, were exhibited at the recent Prize Pumpkin Contest conducted by the Golden Rule Shop of Goldendale. The fi rst prize was carried away by John Ray, of Pleasant Valley, with a pumpkin which tipped the scales at 74 pounds. J.M. Stultz of Goldendale won second, his entry weighing 64 pounds. All of the other entries were credible, and we are inclined toward the opinion that the success of the contest is not wholly due to the virtue of the seed, a fair measure of praise being due to the country in which they were raised.
October 18, 1923 – 100 Years Ago
Mayor N.B. Brooks issued this proclamation: The people of Goldendale and vicinity are requested to meet at the school auditorium Friday at 1:30 to hold memorial services during the funeral hour of the nation’s late President Harding. Businesses and offices are asked to close during that time.
October 25, 1943 – 80 Years Ago
The Goldendale Chamber of Commerce, Louis Leidl Post of the American Legion, and the Goldendale Sentinel sponsored a two-page ad, naming every serviceman from the county (1,090) and giving a plea urging citizens to purchase war bonds towards the county’s quota of $400,000. Many other merchants sponsored individual ads.

Sentinel editorial: Now that TV has made its appearance in the community, we wonder what social changes will be noted. Years behind the east, midwest and California, the Portland area fi nally cracked into the TV picture last year, and the advent of the phenomenon there has brought some changes, it is reported. More people stay at home in the evening, children have become better acquainted with their parents, and there has also been an increased incidence of eye strain. For better or worse, TV is here to stay. It is a vigorous and entrancing art medium, boisterous, and undisciplined at present, but eventually no doubt it will be subjected to some limitations. Although we are not familiar with TV shows at all, we have heard that some of the detective and mystery thrillers aren’t on the highest ethical plane. It will make new sports fans and create other interests which never before have touched the lives of the viewers.
October 3, 1985 – 38 Years Ago
If anyone has been wondering what will become of the old City Center Motel unit, Chuck and Mary Rice will soon put your curiosity to rest. They are in the fi rst stages of opening the City Center Mini-Mall on Columbus Avenue in Goldendale. The Rices began with a desire last spring to fi nd a place for small cottage industries like Mary’s Quilting in Goldendale.

Three vaccines seniors might consider this year
Dear Savvy Senior, Which vaccines are recommended for Medicare seniors this flu season?
Just Turned 65
Dear Just Turned,
There are actually three different types of vaccines seniors should consider getting this fall to protect against a repeat of last winter’s “tripledemic” of respiratory illnesses, which included flu, RSV and coronavirus. Here’s a rundown of the different vaccines the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending and how they are covered by Medicare.
Senior-specific flu shots
For people age 65 and older, there are three flu vaccines (you only need one) that the CDC recommends over traditional flu shots.
Savvy Senior, Jim Miller
These FDA-approved vaccines provide extra protection beyond what a standard flu shot does, which is important for older adults who have weaker immune defenses and have a greater risk of developing dangerous flu complications compared with younger, healthy adults. The three senior-specific options include the:
• Fluzone High-Dose Quadrivalent vaccine, which contains four times the amount of antigen as a regular flu shot does, creating a stronger immune response for better protection.
• Fluad Quadrivalent vaccine, which contains an added ingredient called adjuvant MF59 that also helps create a stronger immune response.
• FluBlok Quadrivalent vaccine, is a recombinant protein (egg-free) flu vaccine that contains three times the amount of antigen as compared with a regular flu shot.
There isn’t enough evidence yet to indicate whether one of these three vaccines provides superior protection over the other two for seniors.
As for side effects, you should know that the Fluzone High-Dose and Fluad vaccines can cause more of the mild side effects that can occur with a standarddose flu shot, like pain or tenderness at the injection site, muscle aches, headache, or fatigue. The side effects of Flublok tend to be a little less frequent.
All flu vaccines are covered 100 percent by Medicare Part B as long as your doctor, health clinic or pharmacy agrees not to charge you more than Medicare pays.
New RSV vaccines
Anyone age 60 and older, especially if you have any heart or lung conditions, diabetes, kidney or liver disorders that make you vulnerable to the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) should consider getting one of the new FDApapproved RSV vaccines (either Arexvy or Abrysvo).
These vaccines, recommended by the CDC, will help protect older and immunocompromised adults from respiratory illness, which is responsible for 6,000 to

10,000 deaths and at least 60,000 hospitalizations each year in seniors 65 and older.
The new RSV vaccines are covered by Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plans.
Updated Covid booster
If you haven’t had a Covid-19 booster shot lately, you should consider getting one this fall. Even though the Covid public health emergency has ended, and the number of cases has gone way down, it has been surging in recent months causing an increase in hospitalizations, especially among the elderly.
The updated Covid vaccine targets the XBB omicron subvariants that are some of the most dominate coronavirus variants circulating in the U.S. It will also provide protection against the EG.5 variant (Eris), which is closely related to the XBB.
Covid booster shots are covered 100 percent by Medicare Part B.
When and where
Most health officials agree that it’s safe to receive the flu and Covid booster at the same time. But because the RSV vaccines are new this year, many doctors are recommending a two-week window between an RSV shot and the flu and/or the COVID shots.
You can find all three vaccines at most pharmacies, medical clinics, and health departments, or you can do a search at Vaccines.gov.
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 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.
It was disappointing
The presentation at the observatory last Saturday, on the whole, was rather disappointing. We listened to two persons from Washington State Parks who had no real connection to the history of this park, and the slide show that depicted the history was presented at the end, as almost an afterthought. A little wave was given to Steve Stout, whose 30-plus years of service certainly merited at least an opportunity to share some of his experiences as the guide/mentor of this site. It was also sad that Troy Carpenter was ill and unable to attend—hope you’re recovering, Troy. As a former teacher, I give it a C-, only because the refreshments were tasty and cleverly themed by our special volunteers. Thanks for that.
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.”

Letters from the community
Why do we blindly support Israel no matter what internationally recognized war crimes they have been committing for decades? Why do we blame and demonize the Palestinians for resisting?
“For No Reason At All” I particularly found offensive.
While the violence of Hamas is reprehensible, every peaceful attempt by the Palestinians to avoid being ethnically cleansed and to defend remaining scraps of their homeland has been ignored and suppressed. Why are Palestinians labeled “terrorists” while Ukrainian people resisting invasion are patriots?
Vote for a better future
Too many times in voting we have to pick which candidate is going to do the least damage in the way of taxes and regulation. But now we have a real candidate who has made businesses more profitable by eliminating waste.
This state park is a boon to our community that has been underappreciated for some time, so I shouldn’t have been surprised at the small turnout. If you’re reading this and haven’t visited our little gem lately, take an evening to visit, and you’ll be delighted!
Darrell Watson Jr. Goldendale
Only one goal
Our only goal in the Middle East must be a cease-fire. It is madness to ship billions of dollars for war to Israel, and then millions in “humanitarian aid” to band-aid the resulting carnage.
The patriotic spirit of the Palestinians will endure while there is still one left alive. It seems to be Israel’s goal to grab the land, and if not one Palestinian is left there, or anywhere, that is just fine. The Israelis have a right to defend their land—as do the Ukrainians, the Palestinians, and all peoples. Invading and displacing your neighbors is not self-defense—it is provoking conflict.
We in the United States must demand an immediate cease-fire to stop more senseless devastation of both the Israeli and Palestinian peoples. The United States is pulling the strings in the Middle East with our tax dollars. War will not provide an answer, only more suffering. After a cease-fire, we must then build peace, according to our cherished values of liberty and justice for all.

Semi knows the importance of good stewardship the responsible management of what is entrusted in him. His background speaks for itself. Semi realizes that unnecessary regulation hurts the economic spirit and the development of new homes that are not being built because of the added cost. Over-regulation and over-taxation diminish the quality of life of the poor and the middle class.
With Semi as governor, we have a real chance to put common sense back into government and a real candidate who will build a future for the benefit of all Washingtonians. Those who desire to have the freedom and prosperity that the hard-working people in this state deserve need to pull together and send the one person to Olympia who is not seeking power but has a quest for making Washington State the best place to live. That one is Semi Bird (birdforgovernor.com).

Lee Matthew Scheradella was born October 7, 1945, in Ashland, Wisconsin. He passed away October 14, 2023, in The Dalles, Oregon. His family moved to Goldendale from Wisconsin in 1949.
Lee had cerebral palsy from birth complications, but it did not slow him down. He was a very determined person and learned to ride a bike and to drive, and he operated his own backhoe and yard service for many years. Everyone in the town of Goldendale recognized his small John Deere backhoe and mower. Later, as his arthritis worsened, he drove a motorized cart and could be seen visiting and observing construction sites and businesses. He outfitted his van to carry his cart, and away he would go. Lee was a member of the Goldendale Fire Department and worked there for 25 years driving their water trucks. If you did not think
he could move very fast, just let the fi re alarm go off! Lee loved to help with a mechanical problem and figure out how to fi x it.
Lee was the youngest of nine children and is survived by his sister, Jean Daugherty of Clarkston, Washington and his brother, Don Scheradella of Flint, Texas. Preceding him in death are his parents, George and Ethel; sisters Gladys and Doris; and brothers Eugene Scheradella, James Wentworth, George D Scheradella, and Robin Scheradella. Lee did not have any children of his own but has many nieces and nephews. He had resided at Columbia Basin Care Facility in The Dalles, Oregon, for many years, where he passed away. His ashes will be interred at Mountain View Cemetery in Goldendale.

Are you ready for winter roads?
All right, stop, collaborate (with fellow travelers) and listen: because winter’s on its way with some snow and icy conditions. There’s nothing ordinary about how road crews prep for winter weather— including pre-treating and plowing—but the traveling public also can help by being prepared for changing driving conditions. And the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has tips on how to stay safe and keep everyone moving this wintertime.
“Many mountain pass closures, for example, are due to driver behavior, including going too fast for winter weather, inattentiveness or failing to have proper equipment like chains,” said WSDOT Maintenance Operations Manager James Morin. “We need everyone doing their part to help keep passes and roadways open and traffic moving. That includes planning their trips accordingly for weather and possible closures and staying up to date using WSDOT’s online tools.”
Check out WSDOT’s winter driving web page for more tips and information. WSDOT also asks travelers to always “know before you go” and get the most up-to-date roadway information before heading out. I t’s also important for motorists to remember to slow down, increase their following distance and be alert for people using crosswalks or bike lanes, as they may be harder to see due to inclement weather.
Know before you go:
• Download the free WSDOT mobile app for your Apple or Android phone or device.
• Sign up for email and/ or text updates about road conditions – or sign up to receive text message alerts about significant delays on Snoqualmie Pass by texting the number 468311 with the words “WSDOT Snoqualmie.”
• Follow WSDOT across a variety of social media platforms including Facebook , Threads , several X/Twitter accounts, Instagram and TikTok .
• Check current traction and chain requirements for mountain passes, which are also available on highway-advisory signs and highway-advisory radio.
• Pre-program your vehicle radio to 530 AM and 1610 AM for highway advisory radio alerts – and be alert for other stations listed on notice signs in some areas.
• Use the online real-time travel map to check conditions locally and statewide before heading out.
• Review what to carry in your vehicle, including a winter driving supply checklist: wsdot.com/ travel/real-time/mountainpasses/winterdrivingtips.
Winter preparations and improved staffing levels
Winter-specific training for highway maintenance workers is underway across the state as teams ramp up and begin staffing crews around-the-clock for winter storms. Staffing levels for the positions most directly involved in snow and ice work have

improved since last winter thanks to ongoing recruitment, and many maintenance teams have returned to pre-pandemic staffi ng. As in years past, crews will “swarm to the storm” and move available resources to most affected areas or priority routes during storms. Despite increased hires, the national shortage of applicants with commercial driver’s licenses remains an issue for WSDOT and all state DOTs, and some shortages do remain in certain areas. WSDOT remains committed to recruitment and retention of road workers with CDLs, including paying for specialized training as well as the mechanics who keep trucks, plows, and other equipment working. Visit www.wsdotjobs. com and search “highway maintenance worker” in the field bar for more information on permanent and seasonal openings.
Studded tires and other options By law , studded tires are legal for use in Washington state only from Nov. 1 through March 31. This applies to all vehicles in Washington, even those traveling from other states, and no personal exemptions or waivers exist. Studded tires do not meet a posted chain requirement. Drivers still need to install chains over studded tires to proceed in areas posted for chains.
WSDOT estimates studded tires cause between $20 million and $29 million in pavement damage to state-owned asphalt and concrete roadways each year. Motorists are
encouraged to visit a tire dealer to learn about options, including studfree, winter tread traction tires. This aggressive tread tire is different than an all-season tire, is legal year-round, and does not cause the same roadway damage as studded tires. Chains and alternatives
All travelers are reminded to prepare for changing weather conditions and avoid a costly ticket by carrying chains or approved alternatives whenever crossing mountain passes. Failure to obey a tire chains sign can mean a ticket of up to $500. Special chain enforcement patrols by WSP will keep an eye on mountain passes this winter.
WSDOT also encourages travelers to practice installing chains before heading out to develop a familiarity before having to install in winter conditions. Any tire becomes a traction tire when chains are installed. Although some vehicle manufacturers recommend against the use of tire chains for certain models, that doesn’t excuse travelers from state traction device laws. These requirements exist to help keep all traffic moving safely during extreme winter conditions. The Washington State Patrol provides a list of stateapproved alternative traction devices on its vehicle equipment webpage under “traction tires.” These approved alternatives can be used when chains are required.

to get them where they need to be, to show that somebody cares and so they’re not just invisible. It’s easy to just walk past. It’s very difficult to not walk past. And I would hope more people don’t just walk past people without seeing who they are. And businesses helping other businesses is the way to go here, because the more people help each other, it’s iron sharpens iron. It’s that whole adage from the Bible, but the military uses it too. If you’re around people who are strong and good, then you tend to become stronger and a better person. I would like to challenge the community to start volunteering. Be proud of this place. My husband and I chose this to be our retirement place for a reason. It’s beautiful. I want people to have pride in where they live, pride in what they do. The best way to do that is to volunteer because then you see a different side of things.

thing in the city council you would try to change?
Danielle: It seems like there are a lot of subcommittees for subcommittees for subcommittees. I’m not sure that that needs to be. Again, that’s red tape because the more people you get involved in things, the less results you tend to get. Or if you do get them, they’re 10 years down the road, and they’re thrown together last minute because, “Oh, wow, this has been so long, let’s just put something together.”
When there are fewer people involved, you’ve gotten the opinions, and they’re trusting that you’re part of a committee and at that point you should be able to move forward and make the decisions yourself in that committee, rather than having to wait till the next meeting.
Sentinel: What would you like the public to know that you haven’t said?
Danielle: I give results, not excuses. That really pretty much sums me up.
for model railroading displays and to support the hobby of model railroading would also be included, along with a gift shop, family activities, and parking space.
It is hoped that a short amount of rail can be laid to display some rail cars and engines at the museum. There is potential for a new restaurant in the form of a dining car. But the aspirations of the group are much greater than that. To the extent that a viable way can be found to have the line restored, even incrementally, Friends of the Klickitat Railroad is seeking to reestablish the line fi rst to Centerville and then all the way back to Lyle if possible and reconnect to the mainline and perhaps beyond. Reestablishing the line even just to Centerville woul allow the museum to operate excursion trains to take in views and give a boost to tourism as well as benefit the local community. But if a full restoration could take place; then passenger and freight service could help serve isolated communities and give an economic boost to the region, creating jobs
and possibly even attracting manufacturing or other business opportunities. The BNSF railroad still owns part of the line close to Goldendale and is already assisting in the development of this project by providing historical information and contacts within its organization to see what can be done. Grant opportunities with the state and federal government are also being pursued. While this effort will take many years to realize and will take significant fundraising efforts and partnerships with many organizations, Friends of the Klickitat Railroad is wasting no time getting started and is seeking help from the community as the process moves forward. If you are interested in joining this group or have photos or stories you can share, you are encouraged to reach out to Friends of the Klickitat Railroad for more information and to join the effort. Visit the group’s website at www. klickitatrailroad.org or its Facebook Group “Friends of the Klickitat Railroad.” Email to info@klickitatrailroad.org.
Bipartisan group files lawsuit accusing Facebook of harming youth mental health
Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced Tuesday that he, among a a group of 42 bipartisan attorneys general, is suing Meta, the parent company of the social media platforms Facebook and Instagram. The federal lawsuit accuses Meta of intentionally putting profits before the well-being of millions of its most vulnerable users.
Specifically, the lawsuit accuses Meta’s top leaders of knowingly targeting youth—calling them a “valuable, but untapped” market—with harmful features designed to get them hooked for life to maximize profits. Meta simultaneously and publicly downplayed the associated risks for those users, including disregarding its own research. These tactics contradicted the company’s public-facing claims that it puts user safety fi rst.
The federal lawsuit also alleges that Meta knew young users, including those under 13, were active on the platforms and knowingly collected data from those users without parental consent.
The lawsuit, fi led yesterday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, claims these unfair and deceptive practices violate state consumer protection laws, including here in Washington, and the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
The coalition aims to make Facebook and Instagram safer for millions of adolescent users, including hundreds of thousands of young Washingtonians.
“Meta is ignoring the risks that Facebook and Instagram posed to kids—and exploiting them for fi nancial gain,” Ferguson said.
While much of the complaint relies on confidential material that has not yet been disclosed, publicly available information previously released—including by former Meta employ-
ees—shows the company profited by intentionally and successfully designing its products to be more addictive for young users.
Meta designed features to provide prolonged and repeated dopamine, or “feel-good,” responses that discourage users from leaving the apps once they open them, tapping into their “fear of missing out.” Some examples:
• The “like” or reaction button;
• Push notifications that ping the user repeatedly with sounds, vibrations (haptic) or other audiovisual alerts;
• A scroll function that feeds a user endless content, known as “infi nite scroll.”
These features are designed to incessantly monopolize young users’ time and attention. Developing brains are particularly susceptible to this manipulation. The original developer of the “infinite scroll” concept, Aza Raskin, noted to the BBC: “It’s as if they’re taking behavioral cocaine and just sprinkling it all over your interface” to keep users coming back and scrolling.
The lawsuit claims that Meta knew about the wide variety of harms these features could cause young users. Not only did Meta disregard and fail to mitigate the risks, the company exploited them. The coalition seeks to stop Meta from engaging in unlawful practices that deceive and harm youth, including fundamentally changing the user experience for all adolescent users.
Examples of potential changes to the social media platforms include, but are not limited to:
• Altering or eliminating the “like” button, autoplay or other features that encourage addictive use;
• Restricting the frequency of notifications and the manner with which they are delivered;
• Eliminating “infinite scroll,” or placing limits on
how much content youth see when they access their accounts;
• Improved “age gating,” or strengthening controls for age requirements;
• Stricter enforcement of multiple and fake accounts;
• More generally, creating a separate type of account or feature set for any user under a specified age, restricting features most harmful to youth.
Rather than implement such safeguards, Meta has placed the burden on kids and their parents to selfregulate.
Background on investigation and public scrutiny of Meta
This lawsuit and others around the country are the result of a bipartisan, nationwide investigation by state attorneys general that began in 2021.
Other states joining the federal lawsuit include Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Additionally, the following states are fi ling lawsuits in their own state courts: the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah and Vermont. Florida is fi ling its own federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
Meta has been the subject of widespread and growing public scrutiny. Around the time the coalition started its investigation, a whistleblower at Meta revealed that the company was circulating extensive research internally regarding the risk of harm to its users, including youth. The company has also been the
target of bipartisan Congressional hearings on the safety of kids online and a documentary fi lm featuring warnings from former Meta insiders who helped design the features at the center of the coalition’s federal lawsuit.
Meta is also one of several social media companies named in a class action lawsuit that includes 13 public school districts in Washington, including Seattle and Kent. That complaint accuses Meta of contributing to increased rates of youth mental health issues, which have reached crisis levels in the wake of the pandemic.
Social media impacts on youth mental health Experts, including the U.S. Surgeon General, agree that excessive social media use by children and adolescents correlates with physical and psychological harms such as higher rates of depression, anxiety, and attention deficit disorders. It can also lead to eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, and body dysmorphia.
Social media use can disrupt activities that are essential for health, like sleep and physical activity, depending on the amount of time children spend online.
According to the Surgeon General, recent research shows that adolescents who spend more than three hours per day on social media face double the risk of experiencing poor mental health outcomes, such as symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Social media may perpetuate body dissatisfaction, disordered eating behaviors, social comparison and low self-esteem, especially among adolescent girls. One-third or more of girls aged 11-15 say they feel “addicted” to certain social media platforms and over half of teenagers report that it would be hard to give up social media.

Newhouse on best practices in organic agricultural
Last week, Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) introduced the Continuous Improvement and Accountability in Organic Standards (CIAO) Act, which would modernize the process for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to respond to changes in organic and better align organic standards authored by the agency with industry best practices and consumer demands.
“Our agricultural sector is constantly evolving, and in order to keep progress moving forward, we must keep up with best-in-practice standards,” said Rep. Newhouse. “As a third-generation farmer, I understand how crucial it is to ensure transparency in our organics process—for both producers and consumers—and it’s imperative that we provide our growers certainty. This is how we spark further innovation and improvement within the organic industry.”
District “farmers are the ones who feed the world, with many voluntarily providing high-quality organic products that are held to a significantly higher standard than other agricultural commodities. It is critical that these farmers, producers, and growers are not held back from bringing their goods to market by bureaucratic red tape and outdated regulations,” said Rep. Valadao. “This bipartisan bill will ensure organic standards from USDA are accurate, transparent, and responsive to the latest science. I’m proud to join my colleagues in introducing this bipartisan legislation to improve and grow our organic agriculture sector.”
“As the organic market continues to expand, producers need clear and reliable information on changing standards and regulations,” said Rep. Panetta. “This bipartisan legislation empowers farmers by setting clear priorities for organic standards and instituting a predictable process for stakeholder input. As California’s 19th Congressional District leads the country in organic farming, I’ll continue working to promote and perpetuate this innovative industry.”
“The number one industry in my district is agriculture, and the farms in my region put delicious food on shelves and on dinner tables all over the United States. It’s critical that when families go to their local store for food marketed as organic, they know and trust the standards that our growers are meeting, and that red tape isn’t preventing organic growers from getting their goods to market,” said Rep. Carbajal
“For far too long, organic producers have been waiting for the Department of Agriculture to move forward with numerous consensus recommendations to improve organic standards and protect the integrity of the organic label,” said Rep. Pingree. “As an organic farmer and CoChair of the House Organic Caucus, I am proud to support this bill to hold the USDA accountable so we can continue to move the National Organic Program forward.”
“Ensuring continuous improvement for organic is our highest priority in the 2023 Farm Bill, and this legislation goes far to address that objective,” said Tom Chapman, CEO and Executive Director of the Organic Trade Association. “I wish to express our sincere thanks to Representatives Newhouse, Panetta, Carbajal, Valadao and Pingree for their leadership and for working with a broad coalition of farmers, industry, environmental and other organizations to ensure organic continues to be a dynamic opportunity for growth and able to meet the future needs and desires of both producers and consumers.”
“Technology and production methods have changed a lot since the national organic standards were created over 20 years ago, and domestic farmers need relevant organic standards to compete in the growing organic marketplace. Organic Farmers Association supports the CIAO bill for streamlining rulemaking to keep organic regulations relevant,” says Kate Mendenhall, executive director of the Organic Farmers Association.
The Washington Outdoors Report: Outdoors roundup
John Kruse For The SenTinel
The modern firearm deer season and waterfowl season opened up the weekend of October 14, and there is other outdoors news to share as well this week.
NORTHEAST WASH -
INGTON DEER HUNTING
RESULTS: Staci Lehman, a spokesperson for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, shared the results from check stations in Eastern Washington during the opening day weekend. In her words, “This weekend we collected 105 Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) samples from harvested deer throughout Region 1. For comparison, last year’s opening weekend we collected 95 CWD samples. Districts 1 and 2 (NE Washington) were the slowest and saw fewer samples compared to District 3 (SE Washington) that collected 65 samples.
Overall, we heard from staff and officers that things were pretty slow in northeast Washington. That could be a result of

the warm weather but hard to say for sure. A reminder that WDFW has teamed up with the Washington Chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers to encourage folks to provide samples from their harvested deer or elk. BHA helped to purchase 100 multi-season deer tags. Anyone who has their harvest sampled for CWD will go into a random drawing for the tags for next year.”
COHO ARE ON THE BITE: The Icicle River near Leavenworth is open for coho salmon. I spoke with Rick Graybill at Hooked on Toys in Wenatchee about the current state of affairs there. Rick says anglers were doing pretty good on the Columbia River prior to the closure on October 15, and while a few fish are now in the Icicle River, Graybill says the first big rain event we get will likely send a flood of fish into this stream for anglers to catch.
As for how to catch them? Rick recommends twitching a jig from where you cast it and twitch it back as you retrieve it (it’s a good way to trigger a bite). As for colors to use,
Rick says, “Every year it’s different what they want but consider getting a jig with a couple of different colors. Consider a bright pink head with a black and orange body or purple and blue, etc. Another option is using a Blue Fox spinner.” Rick recommends silver and orange or silver and pink. If you have more questions, contact Rick at the Hooked on Toys Sporting Goods store fishing counter.

GO ON A HAUNTED
HIKE: With Halloween coming up consider hiking a local trail said to be haunted by ghosts! The trail in question is the Iron Goat Trail, just west of Stevens Pass, that takes you to the old Great Northern rail line and tunnels where the Wellington disaster took place in 1910, causing some 100 souls to perish after their stranded train was hit by an avalanche. One website (www.themandagies.com/hauntedplaces-in-washingtonstate), reports, “ Some hikers have reported hearing screams in the tunnel. Others have spotted apparitions, and stories of hearing out-of-body voices of souls trapped in the tunnel frequent the area.” Even if you don’t see ghosts, you’ll enjoy the 5.7-mile-long loop trail and interpretive signage along the way. John Kruse – www.northwesternoutdoors.com and www.americaoutdoorsradio.com.
Meanwhile, down in the Columbia River Gorge, guide Marc Bush reports the numbers of coho salmon in the Dalles and John Day Pools of the Columbia River are unexpectedly down this Fall thus far. Bush says there are a few salmon being caught, but the fishing for Fall Chinook is a better bet right now, and he has been catching a fair number of them off the mouth of the Klickitat River. Bush recommends checking the Bonneville Dam fish ladder count, and when the numbers increase for coho, head on down to the Gorge. You can fish for them off the mouth of the Klickitat or the Deschutes River. If you would like to book a trip with Marc Bush, contact him through his website at www.twistedwatersgs.com.

I have always lovedHalloween and I love it now morethan ever I loveto get in costume and have fun with other people in costume People seem freer when they are dressed in different clothes They seem to have a little more fun I like the challenge of making or putting together elaboratecostumesbut astheyearspassed I’vedonelessandlessofit Costumeparties seem to be less common, andI dont spend time in bars so the opportunity to celebrate theholiday hasdiminished
ThenIstartedgoingtoMexico andallthat changed Halloween is celebrated there but it is a more somber affair with beautiful“ofrendas” dedicatedtothedeadinhomes,intheparks, and in the cemeteries It is a tradition that brings the dead closer to the living through remembrances and photos and collections of the things andthe people the dead loved, all gatheredtogether intheir honor
Andthenthere is aparty
After Halloween the Day of the Dead is celebrated, followed by All Souls Day, and each has its own significance and its own traditions that vary from one community to another But what is, in the US, a short evenings activity celebrated primarily by childrenis amuch bigger deal acelebration that goes on for most of the week involving people of all ages The celebrations mix a reverence for the dead and a joy for life in a wayIfindbreathtaking
So my husband Peter and I will be celebrating Halloween this year Peter, it should be noted is not as big on the whole “getting into costumething”as I am
What will I wear? he asks, with obvious skepticism
He worries he will look
he will be uncomfortable But I have gotten Peter a costume (a fabulous costume, if I say so myself!) and he says he is going to wear it He knows it is important to me and he genuinely enjoys the celebration and so, this year he will be a part of it even if that might not be hisfirst choice
But, because we will be celebrating in Mexico, I want to observe the other part of theholiday as well

Tombs ombs
When we think about tombs many of us think about Ancient Egypt, King Tut and the curses made to keep people away. We picture mummies wrapped in crumbling pieces of cloth coming to life, or treasures beyond anyone’s imagination. A tomb is a final resting place for dead people. But it is so much more than that. Ancient tombs have taught us about the people who lived in a time long ago, what their lives were like, and the civilizations they lived in. Archaeologists have deciphered hieroglyphs, cave paintings and the Maya script left behind to tell us about the people and religions they followed. An ancient tomb is a keeper of time that scientists, as well as tomb raiders, search for hoping to be the first to open them and find the magical secrets held inside.
Many tombs have been found accidently. Others have been found using clues written in ancient scripts. When an archaeologist finds a tomb, his job is to preserve the contents and decipher the history held inside. Tomb raiders want to get to the precious treasures of gold and other metals they can sell. They do not care about the history or preserving it for future generations to learn from. Tomb raiding is illegal but it still happens and these criminals are taking a piece of history with each item stolen.
Did you know that some of the most visited and photographed tourist attractions in the world are tombs? The Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife. It took 16 years to build and was finished in 1648. Many people visit Agra, India, just to see this beautiful building. The great pyramids in Egypt are visited by almost 14 million people each year. The pyramids were built as tombs for pharaohs. Beneath the European cities of Rome and Paris are burial tombs called The Catacombs. Millions of people visit the catacombs every year. Miles of dark underground passages are the home to the skeletons of dead Christians from over 2,000 years ago.
