BY DAVE BURGESS news@qvmc.com More than 30 emergency and medical staffers met on July 11 to prepare for a serious emergency that requires victims to be decontaminated, for instance, an exposure to hazardous chemicals.

Held in the morning sunlight behind Quincy Valley Medical Center, the drill began with brief instructions from Newton Moats, QVMC’s general services director, and it was over in 30 minutes.

The purpose was to ensure that medical and emergency personnel can get equipment set up quickly in case of a decontamination event, Moats stated in an email.

staff were there, five from Grant County Fire District No. 3, and three from Protection-1 ambulance service.

Given the signal, they opened the Decontamination Trailer and quickly brought out a variety of equipment, the centerpiece being the decontamination shower tent.

Setting up the parts of the tent, including the floor and catch basin, with the right orientation took a bit of figuring. Commenting afterward, Moats said such handson learning is why the drill is done.

Other equipment was set up and connected, including a water heater system hooked to a fire hydrant and to the tent shower, a warm air blower to heat the tent interior, and a generator in case it Dave Burgess Editor news@qvpr.com

is needed.

After the shower tent and related gear were set up, Moats led the group in a training on use of a chemical suit. The personal protective equipment covers the body and has an air-purifying respirator.

It was the second decontamination drill of the year at QVMC. Moats said holding two each summer allows more people to fit one into their schedule.

“We completed both setups in 30 minutes, which is very fast,” Moats wrote.

New this time, Moats said, supplies were on a cart so they could be deployed faster, and the trailer was loaded in order of setup to make the process quick.

The July 11 drill went well, he said, with a large group there to ensure that enough people would be ready to set up the decontamination shower tent quickly. Another practice session, involving QVMC maintenance staff only, was to be held later to test the tent’s water system.

The equipment and training is for an incident such as a chemical exposure that might happen at a business or farm, perhaps from an explosion or a pesticide accident in the fields, or a leak. Moats said the decontamination unit might also apply in a biological or radiological event.

“It’s something we hope we never use,” he said.

Fire prevention goes far beyond ashes, fireworks

BY SEBASTIAN MORAGA sports@qvpr.com

Brush trucks work a fire north of Crescent Bar on July 11. Firefighters with the help of two helicopters were able to keep the wildfire away from homes in the nearby Mansfield Road area.

Fast-moving fire in Trinidad area threatened homes The Wenatchee World Staff

p.m. There was no size estimate available for the fire.

It started near milepost 21 on Highway 28 and went to a third alarm at 6:18 p.m. as more resources were called in. Emergency radio traffic at about 6:20 p.m. described the fire as “fast-moving” and covering 3 acres.

The sheriff’s office at 6:38 p.m. announced level three evacuations — get out now – for residents near Mansfield Road north of Crescent Bar Road. Fire crews and their trucks were stationed to protect houses along Mansfield Road while two helicopters dipped water out of the Columbia River to drop along the edge of the fire.

Mike Mansfield, who has lived most of his life in the house his dad built along Mansfield Road in 1955, stayed at his home despite the evacuation warning. Using a

A fast-moving grass fire swept toward homes in the Trinidad area on July 11 but was stopped by a triple-alarm response that included aerial water drops and dozens of firefighters.

The fire threatened about 20 homes and may have started along Highway 28 when a vehicle lost its tire and wheel and sparks ignited grass and brush, said Grant County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Kyle Foreman.

Firefighters were able to contain the fire between the highway and railroad tracks despite strong winds and dry vegetation. There were no reports of damaged homes and no reports of injuries to firefighters or residents.

The fire was declared under control two hours after it was first reported at about 6

He said he was surprised that the fire had not cut power to his well pump. But he wasn’t surprised by the fire. It was the third in the last 10 years near his house, he said.

At 7:35 p.m. the sheriff’s office warned people in Crescent Bar to stay where they were and leave the roadway open for emergency crews.

Helicopters dipping from the nearby river dropped loads of water on the fire about every 90 seconds, and firefighters soon knocked down the flames.

At 8:06 p.m., the sheriff’s office in a tweet declared the fire “under control” and said evacuation orders were reduced to level 1 (be ready and aware).

Answer: Letters, soiled toilet paper, a car out of the road and a boat out of the water.

Question: Name four things that can start a fire without you wanting to.

Such is the state of affairs when the mercury climbs near or past the century mark in these sweltering summer days. So many things can start a fire, it’s important to proceed with caution at all times.

Caution at times seems in short supply, said Grant County Fire District 3 acting deputy chief Tony Leibelt. A few days ago, local firefighters battling blazes at Soap Lake could see fireworks going off in Ephrata.

“Fireworks are illegal this time of the year,” he said.

In these sunny days, people with boats need to be especially careful. If you’re towing a boat, a dangling part scraping the pavement can create a spark.

“The wheel will fall off, the axle will fall on the ground and then produce sparks,” Leibelt said. “And even if people did notice it, by the time they stop, it has already started a fire some ways behind them,” he added.

Sometimes, semi-truck drivers don’t recognize they have issues, like overheated wheel bearings that can start fires.

Drivers in general tend not to realize that a hot car parked in tall, dry grass can

also start fires.

And the list does not stop there.

“I have been in at least one fire where it was toilet paper,” Leibelt said, referring to the cause of the flames.

“Down in Quincy Lakes a few years ago, and the only reason we could track that one down is because they left their cellphone accidentally in the dark.”

In that case, the folks “had done their business,” as Leibelt put it, and thought they could rid themselves of the toilet paper by burning it. Moments later, the potty break was a regional emergency.

Leibelt called on people all over our area to be aware of their surroundings and be careful of things that can start fires.

If you are camping in the wildlands, Leibelt said, and you feel like you must burn something to get rid of it, wait until you’re back in more urban settings, because odds are there are restrictions to what you can burn while you are out there. And if you find a fire pit, that’s still no reason to start a fire during this time of the year.

Somehow, despite the string of wildfires, people are still throwing caution to the wind. Leibelt said he stopped by Ancient Lakes about six weeks ago and found five active fire pits.

“This is right after we fought the first Ancient Lakes fire, we walked right by it and they were still lighting more fires,” he said.

Getting to know the candidates: Matt Manweller The primary election is on Aug. 7, and the General Election is Nov. 6. This candidate supplied a photo and answers to a set of questions posed by the Post-Register.

Matt Manweller

Candidate for State Representative, Position 2 in Legislative District 13, a two-year term.

Why are you running for office?

I believe Washington politics are becoming more Seat-

tle-centric and that we need strong voices who will represent rural and Eastern Washington.

What are the largest issues to deal with in the office?

The last few years Matt Manweller in office I have made revitalizing Washington’s vocational education

(or CTE) system a top priority. I believe we have made a mistake by telling every kid they must go to college in order to be successful. Most of the jobs people are hiring for require some type of technical education instead.

How would your service in office affect the Quincy Valley?

The state Democratic Party just made adopting an income tax a top priority in their party platform. I plan to fight the adoption of an income tax, the

carbon tax, and a capital gains tax. These taxes will fall disproportionately on rural citizens. Washington government has enough money. They just need to spend it more wisely.

What are your top qualifications for the office?

Experience and education. I have served in the House for six years and know how the process works. I also have a Ph.D. in political science and teach economics. Being a legislator is a complex job and

requires knowledge and experience.

What else would you like Quincy Valley voters to know?

It’s been my honor to represent the people of Grant County for the past six years, and I am proud of all the things we have accomplished together.

the company finances.

Slight profits are expected in most agricultural sectors in the Northwest while tensions in international trade generate headwinds, according to Northwest Farm Credit Services.

The company, which describes itself as an $11 billion financial cooperative with customers in Washington, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Alaska, provided the following highlights for Northwest agriculture on July 3 – some of the company’s quarterly snapshots of commodities that

Potatoes

Uncontracted potato producers could bring in slightly profitable returns and contracted potato growers should see profitable returns. Favorable growing conditions suggest strong yields for the new crop. However, trade tensions indicate lower exports and headwinds to producer profitability.

an abundance of small fruit.

Low-quality and small fruit is sent to processors; this reduces packs per bin and decreases growers’ returns. Growers expect next year’s crop to be smaller compared to this season, which could increase prices. However, geopolitical tensions dampen this optimism. Washington’s biggest export markets for apples are Mexico, India and Canada.

Mexico announced a 20 percent tariff on apples, and India announced a 30 percent tariff in addition to an already-levied 50 percent tariff.

Cherries

Cherry growers are predicted to see slight profits. A light California crop and an extended Northwest harvest window will allow markets to successfully sell the crop at profitable margins. The biggest threat to the cherry market is tariffs.

China, the Northwest’s biggest export market, enacted a 15 percent tariff on cherries in

April and another 25 percent tariff will be added on July 6, which aligns with peak cherry season.

Pears

Slight profits are expected in the pear industry. Growers’ returns were subdued for the 2017-18 crop due to the lowest production on record.

There is optimism around a larger 2018-19 crop, currently projected at 18.9 million boxes. However, fire blight issues could reduce the current production estimate as trees are taken out of production.

Hay

The hay industry should see profitable returns. Absent potential trade wars, fundamentals of supply and demand remain encouraging. Northwest hay inventory is down 19 percent from last year while nationally, hay inventory is down 36 percent.

Nursery/greenhouse

Northwest FCS surveys its nursery customers to collect sales numbers through May 31, and this year’s poll found year-over-year sales growth of 5.65 percent for the industry as a whole. This is not surprising as a strong economy supports consumer demand for discretionary expenditures on plants and landscaping.

Cattle

Cattle producers should see slightly profitable returns over the next year. Drought conditions in the Midwest pushed calves into feedlots sooner than anticipated. As a result, the number of cattle on feed

is the highest since data collection began. Slaughter rates are correspondingly high. Domestic consumption and export demand continue to grow, helping to offset high supplies.

Uncertainty surrounding trade provides opportunities with falling feed costs, and headwinds as export demand is called into question.

Onions

Onion growers should harvest slightly profitable returns. Growing conditions across the Northwest are near optimal for onions. However, trucking strife and strong production in other onion-growing regions could create headwinds to profitability.

Wheat

Wheat growers may see slightly profitable returns. As global supplies continue to grow, U.S. wheat production is projected 25 percent lower, which may provide price support into the 2018-19 crop year. USDA’s pre-tariff projections suggest the 2018-19 season-average farm price for all-wheat will be between $4.60 to $5.60 per bushel.

However, trade issues will provide material headwinds if a resolution is not reached.

Wine and vineyard

Profitable margins are foreseen for wine/vineyard operations. Mild winter weather and a favorable transition into spring have set vineyards up for a promising growing season. On the winery side, wine sales have flattened over the last year after a couple of years of robust growth.

Getting to know the candidates: Sylvia Hammond The primary election is on Aug. 7, and the General Election is Nov. 6. This candidate supplied a photo and answers to a set of questions posed by the Post-Register.

Sylvia Hammond

Candidate for State Representative, Position 2 in Legislative District 13, a two-year term.

Why are you running for office?

The Columbia Basin has been my home for 40 years. I believe we deserve better representation for our rural Washington district. Many people, seeking a change in leadership, asked me to run for this office. I am stepping up to be a public servant and stateswoman who will serve with integrity. I want to work for common sense solutions to problems in our rural area. I am running because I believe that through this office, I can make a positive impact in the lives of the people in the 13th LD.

What are the largest issues to deal with in the office?

1. The Washington state constitution says that, “It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children.”

With that in mind, public education will always be a top priority. The McCleary decision helped, but many issues regarding education are yet to be resolved. Some of these involve pre-K education, class room size for grades 4-12, special education programs, technical and vocational education, community colleges and universities, teacher salaries, training, recruitment and

retention, especially in rural communities.

2. Water issues loom large throughout Eastern Washington.

We need to be forward thinking in establishing fair Sylvia and sus- Hammond tainable means to avoid depletion of our aquifers and to manage our water resources. Water is not an infinite resource. We must plan for the future. If we let our aquifers go dry, it will be too late. We need to be wise stewards of all our natural resources so that we can leave clean air, clean water and fertile soil to our children.

3. Health care reform is needed. In our communities, it is not only an issue of affordability but of access. We need to keep our community hospitals viable. We need to train, recruit and retain more family practitioners and mental health professionals.

4. We need to provide farmers and businesses with the infrastructure they need to flourish. This will keep our communities economically healthy by supporting our agriculturally driven economy, by providing living wage jobs, and by attracting new business and industry.

How would your service in office affect the Quincy Valley?

We live in a rural district.

I can’t stress enough that I will be working and fight-

ing for solutions that work in rural areas. For example, while I believe that we must protect clean air, I don’t believe that the current carbon tax proposals are workable in Eastern Washington. Part of the purpose of the recent proposals has been to encourage the use of mass transit.

While this is a laudable goal in metropolitan areas, it is not a viable transportation option here. This is just an example of how I will be looking out for the interests of our district. As I review legislation, I will always be asking, does this work for our district, who does it help and who might it hurt?

Quincy is a wonderful example of a rural community that has worked hard through its city government, its port, hospital and school districts to grow and diversify. I will be an advocate for Quincy and all the cities in the 13th District. I expect Quincy to continue to grow and thrive.

I will work alongside them as they propose projects, which may involve the need for county, state and federal funds. I believe that the cities know what is best for their situation. I want to help Quincy reach its goals.

What are your top qualifications for the office?

I know the district. I have worked with our family farm and as a substitute teacher in the Ephrata School District.

Agriculture and education are two of the most important issues in the district. I have direct experience in both.

I have volunteered with Ephrata schools, food banks, the Grant County Warming

Center, the American Red Cross, the Alzheimer’s Association, the Grant County Democrats, and as a director on the board of the Columbia Basin Foundation.

Throughout my life, I have been keenly aware of the role of government. I have participated as a citizen through the power of my vote and by exercising my rights of free speech and freedom of assembly.

The combination of my understanding of the district, my life’s experiences and my desire to serve, qualify me for the work.

What else would you like Quincy Valley voters to

know?

The current political climate is divisive and corrosive. It leads to stalemates instead of solutions. You deserve solutions and good governance.

I will listen to and respect the beliefs and opinions of all the people, even when they are different from my own.

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and civility.

I am running as a public servant, not a politician.

Tribalism hasn’t been understood well enough

“W

hen groups feel threatened, they retreat into tribalism. They close ranks and become more insular, more defensive, more focused on us versus them.” These words of Amy Chua in her July/August 2018 Foreign Affairs article “Tribal World” clarifies the politicized polar divide we see in our nation and in the world. Knowing about tribalism can help explain our current political climate and the defeats of the U.S. in Vietnam and Iraq.

The online Merriam-Webster Language-learner Dictionary defines tribalism as “loyalty to a tribe or other social group especially when combined with strong negative feelings for people outside the group.”

According to Chua, because of the rapidly changing technology and the resulting rising inequality of wealth, “Wealth in the United States is concentrated in the hands of a relatively small number of people most of whom live on the coasts.” This tribal minority dominates the economy: Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and the media. They tend to live and marry among themselves and are very in-

Rich Elfers Columnist sular. They have become what Chua calls “the market dominant minorities” found in the developing world’s economies. In America they tend to be cosmopolitan, secular, multicultural, tolerant of sexual minorities, pro-immigrant, and progressive.

This minority is viewed with suspicion and is seen as hostile to America’s interests by many middle Americans.

Donald Trump appealed to those middle Americans with his “take our country back” slogan. He appealed

to tribalism. These Americans are not anti-rich, but they have come to believe that the system for getting ahead has been rigged against them.

For millions of Americans, the traditional paths to success and wealth have been cut off. The way Trump talks, dresses, and shoots from the hip – “even (perhaps especially) when he gets caught making mistakes, exaggerating, or lying” – appeals to these middle Americans who bond and identify with him.

In regard to foreign affairs, Chua argues that we lost the war in Vietnam because we saw the conflict as one between socialism and capitalism. Our failure was due to not understanding that tribal dynamic. We pushed capitalism. In Vietnam, most of their capitalists were not ethnic Vietnamese, “rather, they were members of the despised Hoa” – ethnic Chinese. U.S. policy favored this “market dominant minority” and only served to aggravate tribalism among the native Vietnamese majority.

“Washington’s wartime policies intensified the wealth and power of the ethnic Chinese minority, who, as

middle men, handled most of the U.S. military’s supplies, provisions, and logistics (as well as Vietnam’s brothels and black markets). In effect, the regimes that Washington installed in Saigon were asking the South Vietnamese … to kill their northern brethren – in order to keep the ethnic Chinese rich,” according to Chua.

The same tribal phenomena and American ignorance of tribalism took place in Iraq, with the same disastrous results. Sunnis were the market-dominant minority who had dominated Iraq for centuries. At the time of the U.S. invasion in the second Iraq War, approximately 15 percent of the population of Sunni Muslims controlled the country economically, politically and militarily.

The majority Shias made up the nation’s urban and rural poor. Democracy brought them to power after the U.S. invasion. The Shias then proceeded to wreak vengeance on their former oppressors. This intensified anti-American fundamentalist movements, which gave rise to ISIS – an extremist Sunni

Letters Supporting Hammond in election

I have had the honor of knowing Sylvia Hammond for the 28 years I have lived in Ephrata and heartily endorse her candidacy for Democratic representative from the 13th district.

This is a woman of immense intelligence, integrity, work ethic, and civility who epitomizes family values.

I first came to know Sylvia when we worked together in our children’s kindergarten class. She has been a dedicated supporter of education both as a public school substitute teacher and an LDS seminary instructor. She cares about the educational opportunities for all children K-12 and beyond.

She also supports funding for public school Pre-K. Another of her priorities is access to health care, including mental health.

Sylvia is the mother of five children, grandmother of six and has lived in the Columbia Basin for forty years where she and her husband ran their family farm. She has first-hand knowledge of the challenges agriculture faces.

Her life is testament to the family values and civility she exemplifies.

She is open, engaging and will consider thoughtfully all points of view.

She encourages healthy, respectful discourse. This is essential in a representative for all of the residents of the 13th district.

I will be voting for Sylvia in the pri-

Elfers, from page 6 movement as dedicated to killing Shias as they were to killing Western “infidels,” according to Chua.

The 2007 “surge” worked in Iraq because it represented a change in policy. According to U.S. Brigadier General John Allen, “Tribal society makes up the tectonic plates in Iraq in which everything rests.” As a result of greater tribal awareness, the U.S. military successfully allied moderate Shiite and Sunni sheiks to fight the extremists. This resulted in a dramatic decline in sectarian violence.

Knowing and understanding tribalism can offer a solution to the divisions at home and abroad. Chua sums it up: “This blindness to the power of tribalism affects not only how Americans see the rest of the world but also how they understand their own society.” Until we open our eyes to the power of tribalism we will continue to suffer deep divisions domestically and defeats internationally.  Rich Elfers is a columnist with the Courier-Herald in Enumclaw, a former Enumclaw City Council member and a Green River College professor.

So much for assimilation

On his YouTube broadcast on July 6, Dr. Jerome Corsi reported that a woman who caused such a stir (as well as danger for herself and her rescuers) when she climbed the Statue of Liberty, was identified as a Congo immigrant and a chronic law breaker since coming to America. You won’t hear much if anything about these facts on the mainstream news who, like a broken record, promote diversity and different cultures as enriching our communities, and you can be sure the mega-rich people funding and directing that propaganda are those who live in gated communities who’ll never have to deal with the cultural differences affecting their own life, but feel assured they can “take it to the bank” that they’ll have the offenders’ votes.

A Quincy citizen who purchased a beautiful home in a serene neighborhood in Quincy and was enjoying a tranquil retirement has been forced to purchase elsewhere after a neighbor across the street rented their home out to someone who, seemingly without the landlord’s knowledge, ended up having a neighborhood of people living in the house, whose contribution to the community was providing foreign, unwanted, unwelcome, loud, bass-thumping music infiltrating the neighbors’ homes and taking the ac-

tion over-the-top by having the music blasting from their car stereo, with the car doors open, while working on their car in the driveway. Assimilation? Enrichment? Tommyrot! Back to the dear, poor Congo immigrant.

Dr. Corsi revealed she’d previously been charged with 60 (yes, that’s sixty) violations of illegally posting ads for services as a “personal trainer.”

Immigrants who choose not to assimilate are creating havoc and draining our welfare and judicial system while ending up with nothing more than a slap on the hand (if even that) while Paul Manafort is reportedly being held in solitary confinement over – if you seriously look into the case and the supposed “evidence” – it appears conjured up and just another diversion. Check out former President Obama’s speech on YouTube titled “Senator Obama insists illegal immigration is a problem.” When you listen to this clip you’ll think that Donald Trump wrote the speech. Among other points the senator stated: “We are a generous and welcoming people here in the United States but those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law and they are showing disregard for those who are following the law.”

Police Chief Ken Carlile said the cost to the city amounted to $200 a month. “It is important to keep the program in place and establish it as a top priority for the community,” Carlile said.

Don Goodwin, county commissioner, told the council he had not seen a program work as effectively as INET does. “If we can keep the pressure on, we can cut the crime rate down and save money. You could not put a better priority on anything than the war against drugs.

“I would like to see if the public is

willing to donate to a fund for this,” Goodwin said, adding that he would gladly contribute a couple of $20 bills to the cause.

Tom Pickett, school district superintendent, said he had been working closely with the police chief on the drug problem for the last six months. “The control that law enforcement can impose is extremely important,” he said. “This issue is paramount in our community and Grant County. You have to be tough on it.”

The incumbent, Matt Manweller, is currently being investigated because of allegations of inappropriate conduct at Central Washington University. According to the Daily Record, Ellensburg, he was also investigated in 2012 and 2013 for allegations of sexual harassment. He has been stripped of his leadership position in the legislature.

How can he be an effective legislator in these circumstances? It’s time to consider another option.

I hope you’ll join me in voting for a person of integrity, honesty, and intelligence. A vote for Sylvia is a vote for fair economic policies that will support our local economy. It’s a vote for governmental transparency. It’s a vote to ensure our future by valuing education and helping workers achieve decent wages and working conditions.

Sylvia Hammond is not a career politician; she is a citizen who is stepping up because she is needed. Sadly, her words are being twisted and she is being misrepresented by the opposition.

If you have questions about where she stands on an issue, don’t rely on what others say. Go to her website and see what she says: www.electsylviahammond.com.

INET?” he asked.

Carlile responded that the idea is to get the public informed about the importance of INET and see if additional funding can be found.

Councilman Dave Lemon pointed out that the current expense fund is supported by sales tax and property tax revenue to pay for police and fire protection, parks, community services and local government. Of the $600,000, in the current expense fund budget, $325,000 goes to the police department.

The chief is asking for a budget increase and it would require a cut in other areas.

Council member Debra Adams said $6,000 could be cut from the parks budget by not resurfacing the tennis courts.

Asked if the number of burglaries had dropped in Quincy as a result of the INET program, Carlile said the crime rate did not show a variance as yet. Adams commented that she was interested in what INET was doing to help Quincy.

Sabey Intergate Quincy data center saves energy

BY DAVE BURGESS news@qvpr.com Sabey Data Centers Intergate Quincy was recently given nationwide recognition for energy efficiency and hosted a federal government official for a tour of the facility.

Maria Vargas, the U.S. Department of Energy director of the Better Buildings Initiative, was in Quincy on June 21 to meet Sabey leaders and talk about the importance of saving energy. Vargas thanked Sabey for leading the way and sharing the lessons learned about using energy wisely.

“If leaders share, we all win,” Vargas said.

Vargas was enthusiastic about Sabey’s achievements as a partner in the DOE’s Better Buildings Challenge, a program that encourages organizations to reduce energy waste.

“There is a lot of opportunity to reduce energy waste in this country,” Vargas said.

“That’s really what the Better Buildings Initiative is about.”

Participating organizations – there are about 350 – commit to a goal to reduce their energy consumption and be transparent in how they do that and share their ideas.

“I’m here because Sabey is one of the leaders in the data center industry, not only in terms of making their data centers very energy efficient but their willingness to share what they are doing, like the tour we had today,” Vargas said. “It’s pretty remarkable – that’s why we are here.”

Accompanying Vargas on the tour of Sabey’s Quincy multi-tenant data center were John Sasser, senior vice president of operations with Sabey Data Centers, and two representatives of a Sabey customer, Steven Mullinax, director

Reports, from page 8 Cassandra Laree Warlitner, 30, was booked on a GCDC warrant for failure to appear in a case of third-degree driving while license suspended.

July 5 Joseph Dean Byrd, 35, was booked on a DOC secretary’s warrant for second-degree robbery and a GCDC warrant for failure to appear/failure to comply in a case of third-degree driving while license suspended and no ignition interlock.

of infrastructure engineering for Alaska Airlines, and Rick Gideon, data center manager for Alaska Airlines. Saving energy is a core value of Alaska Airlines, which has been a customer at Intergate Quincy since 2016.

T h e electronic equipment that a customer such as Alaska A i r l i n e s Maria Vargas uses at Sabey is enclosed in “a hot aisle containment pod.” Inside the pod, the temperature is higher, about 80 degrees, and this is a key to energy savings at Intergate Quincy.

At a less efficient data center, air conditioning is typically a large area of energy usage, Sasser explained.

Sabey Data Centers has been using hot aisle containment since 2008, and it was a big part of how the company received the Better Building recognition from the DOE, Sasser said.

The energy efficiency also has led to saving money. The company calculates it has saved more $206,000 in annual energy costs thanks to its energy-efficiency efforts.

Sabey Data Centers says it is one of the largest privately-owned multi-tenant data center developers and operators in the world. Even with the low power costs in the Quincy area, Sabey approached its facility here with the intent of providing its customers a highly energy-efficient facility.

“It is important for us to save energy and to be a part of this community,” Sasser said.

“Part of being a good neigh-

bor is not wasting electricity – we want to make sure we use it wisely.”

In a press release, the DOE praised Sabey Data Centers as an exemplary partner in the Better Buildings Challenge, saying Sabey committed to improving its energy performance by 20 percent over a 10-year period, and to sharing the results and strategies with other companies. The company surpassed its original goal of 20 percent by 2024, improving energy performance across its more than 3 million square feet of data center space by 24 percent from a 2014 baseline.

“Through the DOE’s Better Buildings Challenge, data centers like Sabey’s are using energy more productively,” said Kathleen Hogan, deputy assistant secretary for energy efficiency in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at DOE, in a press release. “We applaud Sabey for sharing its results and best practices with other companies.”

Local GOP hosts Ag Power Users Thursday July 12, the Grant County Republicans hosted five members of the Ag Power Users of Grant County at their July Central Committee meeting. Two of the guests gave the group some Submitted by background on the Grant County organization. They shared a short hisGOP Chair Danny Stone tory and some concerns that shape their current work.

Another member, Judy Wilson, also introduced herself and spoke to the GOP members in attendance. She is currently a candidate for Grant County PUD commissioner. She apprised the gathering of her qualifications and the issues motivating her to run. Of primary concern to Ms. Wilson is the current $1.3 billion debt of our local PUD and the continual growth of that indebtedness. It was a very informative session for all attendees.

That evening, the county party also finalized endorsements of current initiatives which remain in the “pipeline” for the November general election or the upcoming legislative session. Initiatives now endorsed by the Grant County GOP are as follows: • Initiative I-1634 – This initiative would prohibit local governments from leveling taxes on grocer-

ies. Signed petitions were submitted on this “Initiative to the People” prior to July 6 deadline.

• Initiative I-976 – This would bring back the $30 car tabs again.

It’s an “Initiative to the Legislature,” so 350,000 signatures are needed by Dec. 31, 2018. Petitions on this will be available at the Republican Fair Booth at the upcoming Grant County Fair.

The Grant County Republicans have also affirmed their opposition to the two remaining initiatives to the people which had petitions submitted to the Secretary of State by the July 6 deadline. They are as follows: • Initiative I-1631 – known as the Carbon Emissions Fee and Revenue Allocation initiative. The local GOP party views this as simply a way to disguise the misguided carbon tax by calling those taxes “pollution fees.”

• Initiative I-1639 – The GOP group sees this as an anti-gun, anti-Second Amendment and disastrous initiative that deserves to be soundly rejected by Washington voters. The county GOP believes most law-abiding citizens will view this as a direct attack on their freedom and will vote accordingly.

As far as candidate endorsements, the Grant County Republicans have

announced their support for the following incumbents: • Congressman Dan Newhouse – 4th Congressional District Representative • Senator Judy Warnick – 13th Legislative District State Senator • Representative Tom Dent – 13th Legislative District State Representative • Representative Matt Manweller – 13th Legislative District State Representative • Representative Mike Steele – 12th Legislative District State Representative • Sheriff Tom Jones – Grant County Sheriff • Craig Morrison – Grant County Coroner • Kimberly Allen – Grant County Clerk • Garth Dano – Grant County Prosecutor New candidates and also the GOP incumbents being challenged by Republican candidates will be considered for endorsements immediately following the upcoming Aug. 7 primary election.

The local Republicans are urging Grant County voters to fill out their Primary Election ballots and take advantage of their crucial right to participate in our government “of the people.”

Counties to provide ballot postage Post-Register Staff Registered voters throughout Washington will soon receive ballots for the Aug. 7 Primary Election, and they will be able to return their ballots via the U.S. Postal Service without having to pay for a stamp, according to a press release from the Secretary of State’s office, thanks to Secretary of State Kim Wyman, Governor Jay Inslee and county officials across the state.

“Statewide voter participation is a huge priority,” Secretary Wyman said in a press release, “and all Washingtonians deserve the best possible opportunity for their voices to be heard. By extending the convenience of postage-free ballot return envelopes to every voter in the state, we are leading the nation in providing access to democracy.”

In spring, Wyman and Inslee announced an agreement to fund statewide ballot return postage for the 2018 Primary and General Elections via grants totaling $1.2 million for county auditors in 38 counties. Because the King County Metropolitan Council had previously agreed to fund postage for voters there, Wyman called for the Legislature to reimburse the approximate $600,000 cost to King County.

Wyman added that she will also ask the Legislature in 2019 to make postage-paid ballot returns permanent.

Quincy Chief of Police Kieth Siebert, left, and Capt. Ryan Green chat with locals at The Grainery Café on July 11. The event ran for an hour and a half during the morning as local residents stopped in to sit with officers, eight of them, spread out at Grainery tables.

Siebert said Coffee with a Cop is one of the ways Quincy residents can talk with an officer – about anything. The idea is residents and police officers get acquainted, and communication is better as a result.

Siebert estimated that 15-20 attended, including some children. For Siebert the event, he said, “reaffirms my belief we need to work with the public.”

Pet food store opens in Quincy

BY SEBASTIAN MORAGA sports@qvpr.com Out of heartbreak came an idea.

Therm, Kayli Bauer’s pet cat had died of diabetes after 14 years on this Earth. And knowing what a struggle it had been for them to find Therm some healthy chow, she and her sister and father started thinking that perhaps it might be time to do something about it.

Thus, the Happy Puppy, the pet food and supply store that Kayli, her sister Sydney Bauer and their father, Jon Bauer, opened July 1, about three years after Therm meowed his last.

The store carries grooming supplies, food, toys and treats for dogs and cats, Kayli said.

In addition, the store is working with the Quincy Animal Shelter to promote the animals available for adoption at the shelter. Also, anyone who gets a shelter pet gets a 20 percent discount the first time they stop by the Happy Puppy.

“We figured, let’s open up a pet shop that sells quality food so animals are healthy and so that people don’t have to drive to Ephrata or East

Wenatchee,” Bauer said.

Kayli and Sydney are the store’s co-managers, while Dad is the owner. What’s unusual about this is that neither of the co-managers is an adult yet. Kayli is 16, and Sydney is 14.

“We are all learning sales strategies, marketing strategies, money management, all that stuff,” Kayli said. “It’s all been pretty crazy.”

One of those marketing strategies resulted in the name. Although the idea came from a cat’s illness, the store’s name makes no mention of cats.

“We thought most people had dogs in Quincy,” Kayli said.

Two-thirds of the store is dog stuff, she added.

The store was originally going to be called Bow-Wow Chow, but someone already had that name, she said.

They are already looking to hire staff for when the co-managers return to high school.

The siblings and Dad have already put in their share of long days, getting the store ready. The soft opening was July 1, while the grand opening will be July 23.

The store’s address is 7 D St. SW, Quincy. The spot had been empty for a while, so letting people know that there’s a new business in town has been key.

“We’re trying to get the word out, ‘Hey, we are here, it’s not a vacant building anymore,” Kayli said.

Vantage’s wild horses sculpture a Washington icon

BY SEBASTIAN MORAGA

sports@qvpr.com

Imagine the Mona Lisa attracting millions of visitors to the Louvre, but with an unfinished face. Or the Space Needle becoming a Seattle icon but with the roof waiting to be installed.

Something similar has happened to the sculpture known around the state and beyond as “the wild horses” of Vantage.

The sculpture, on a hill just off exit 136 eastbound on I-90, crowning a hill and offering a spectacular view of the Columbia River Basin for those willing to make the short hike, is incomplete and has remained that way for the past 29 years since Chewelah artist David Govedare unveiled it for the state’s centennial celebration in 1989.

Govedare says he needs “ballpark, about a million bucks,” to finish the sculpture. That amount includes engineering, fabrication,

“It’s quite an involved process, building a structure this size,” Govedare said. “It

has to take 100-mile-an-hour winds and be 36 feet in diameter and follow my artistic vision of what all the structure looks like. It’s an engineering and artistic collaboration.”

At the same time, Govedare said he would love it if Live Nation, which helps run the nearby Gorge Amphitheatre, decided to help out with the fundraising.

Signage on I-90 refers to the sculpture as the Wild Horses Monument, but its actual name is Grandfather Cuts Loose The Ponies.

The complete work would depict the 18 horses galloping out of a large basket, which would symbolize the Great Spirit allowing the horses to run free.

“The basket represents the positive nature of the universe, the hand of creation,” he said. “It’s not a religious piece, it’s spiritual.”

The horses were made to look almost as though they were alive, with the steel bent in such a way that it simulates a horse in movement.

“I pulled off an illusion in a way,” Govedare said.

Right now, the monument consists only of the horses, and yet, it remains an unmistakable Washington icon.

Govedare says people have told him it’s the most visited art piece in the Northwest.

“It’s quite the remote site, and it took a number of years for the impact of how important the piece really is, to take effect,” Govedare said.

“But because the piece has become so iconic, it needs to be finished and there will be investors that find that they want to have their name in association with the project.”

To learn more about Govedare’s fundraiser, visit his www.gofundme.com website, named “Fund the Basket.”

The tricky task of bicycling in and around Quincy

BY SEBASTIAN MORAGA sports@qvpr.com

If you love your bicycle rides, summer is the time for you. The question is: Is Quincy the place for you?

For Russ Harrington, director of recreation for the city of Quincy, the answer is a definite maybe. It depends on where you ride and for how long you ride.

“There are a lot of streets that are pretty wide,” Harrington said, “so there’s plenty of room, you don’t have to worry about cars right on top of you. “ In addition, there is a trail on the southwest end of town, from Seventh Avenue or 10th Avenue all the way to Lauzier Park.

The neighborhoods in the north end of town offer a good share of wider roads, particularly the newer developments

by Aho Construction, Harrington said, so that makes it a little safer for cyclists to share the road.

The contrast begins, and the troubles for cyclists do too, when talking about longer rides and rides outside the city limits.

“There isn’t any shoulders on the road,” Harrington said, “and during different times of

the year we get heavy harvest traffic, with spud trucks, and cherry trucks and apple trucks and things like that. With limited shoulder places to pull off it makes it tougher to get those longer bike rides in.”

It is still possible to get a two-to-three-mile ride by mapping a route around the southwest end of town, Harrington said.

People seeking to ride with children might want to favor the trails to and from Lauzier Park and around Monument Elementary.

People seeking longer rides might want to go for a drive, first, Harrington said, offering Wenatchee’s Apple Capital Loop Trail as an option.

“If you’re looking for a longer stretch and a longer ride, you definitely find it’s a lot tougher in Quincy than, say, going to the Apple (Capital Recreation) Loop (Trail),” Harrington said.

That trail is 10 miles long. and is split between Wenatchee and East Wenatchee.

At one point, the city entertained the idea of building a path from city to city, Harrington said. The idea is still being talked about, he said, noting that it was a group of volunteers and not a munici-

pality that brought the idea to the table.

Still, the thought of building something for cyclists in Grant County persists, One of the hurdles an idea like this faces is the issue of right-of-ways. For example, before it can build a trail between Quincy and George, the city of Quincy needs to get a variety of ducks in line.

For starters, the city does not have any right-of-ways, Harrington said. Building a path on the west side of Highway 281 would also require easements from Grant County PUD and the state.

Plus, some farmers who own land next to the road might need some convincing, and that takes time.

“To do it legally and with the approval of everybody is a little bit more tedious of a task,” Harrington said.

Nevertheless, Harrington said, going for a ride in town is not an impossibility, even if it comes with a chorus of barks.

Dogs are always making their presence known, coming out of yards to bow-wow at pedestrians and cyclists.

“That’s always something to watch out for,” Harrington said.

Rocky Coulee area still charming despite recent fire Quirky attraction:Bighorn sheep. Bring your binoculars, because they blend in with the hills really well.

And if you see one (or two, or more) keep your distance. Do not, repeat, do not try to feed them. They eat only grass, and they like it that way, so keep your chow, even if you brought a salad.

Restrooms: At least three on site.

Closest places to find food: The restaurants in Vantage, just off I-90, less than a mile from where you are.

Closest drinking water source: The bottle you brought. Don’t drink from the river.

Roads: The interstate is, of course, paved, as is the loop and Vantage Highway. The path to the recreation area is unpaved, but not too bumpy.

Still, take it slow, as the road is not too broad.

Burn ban info: Since the blazes, no campfires are allowed on site, and no briquette fires, either. Gas stoves are still OK. Regardless, please use extreme caution, as the hot weather increases the chances of wildfires. Do not burn your trash, either.

BY SEBASTIAN MORAGA

sports@qvpr.com

With blazes torching the area surrounding Vantage in recent weeks, we decided, once the flames subsided whether it would still be worth it to travel south for a quick bite in the sunshine.

And indeed it was.

Rocky Coulee Recreation Area, less than two miles north of I-90 off exit 136 remains a lovely spot for a picnic, even if the hills around it look a little different.

The broad views of the Columbia remain unchanged, as do the picnic tables and restroom facilities. The only change since the fires is a stricter burn ban.

Location: 23 miles southwest of Quincy, on Vantage Highway.

Directions: Take Highway 281 toward George and then merge on to I-90 West. Take exit 136, follow the ramp loop and make a left Drive past the restaurants on your left and look for the signs to Rocky Coulee Recreation area less than a mile ahead.

Turn right at the sign, and follow the path to the end, about

a third of a mile.

Parking: About a dozen spots available at the end of the path, on the left.

Places to eat on site: Several picnic tables, some with canopies, some without. Some with fire pits, some without, but remember, burn ban.

Overnight camping: Only in designated areas. Don’t be surprised if you see tents.

Also: There’s no fee for day use.

Hazards: If you’re going to dip your toes in the mighty Columbia, be careful. The sand is really slippery and the currents can change rapidly.

Highlight attraction: Twofold. First, it’s a nice, shady spot in an otherwise open area, and two, you get a great view of the Vantage bridge across the Columbia and of the river itself.

Columbia Basin River Dogs send two teams to regionals

BY SEBASTIAN MORAGA sports@qvpr.com Peaking at just the right time, the Columbia Basin River Dogs took two of its teams to the state Babe Ruth Baseball finals, earning both squads tickets to the regional tournament in Gillette, Wyo. The River Dogs’ blue team defeated the River Dogs’ white squad by a score of 6-5, in a final game that was exactly what the team had been hoping for.

Halfway through the season, skipper Randy Boruff had expressed hopes that the River Dogs squad peak close to the end of the season.

Wish granted. Both teams advanced to regionals and now will fight for a berth at the Babe Ruth national championships in Jamestown, N.Y. Only the regional

champion advances to nationals, which Ephrata hosted in 2016 and ‘17.

“As a coach you always try for that, you don’t want to peak too early, you want to peak at the right time,” Boruff said.

At the end of the regular season, all 30-plus players in the River Dogs’ top age bracket got split into two separate squads going into playoffs, so the team that won the state championship has only been playing together a few days.

At state, the River Dogs defeated Baseball Beyond Borders 14-2, Lakeside Recovery 13-1 and their sibling team in the finals.

At Gillette, the Blue team goes in as the No. 1 seed, and the White team goes in as the No. 2 seed. A Bellevue squad, Lakeside Recovery, earned the No. 3 seed.
