Johnson set bar high in his work with children, community

By Nevonne McDaniels Staff writer Dick Johnson cared about children and the community in which they lived — and he set the bar high when it came to those things.

That worked in Cashmere’s favor, where Johnson was superintendent from 1967 to 1983, leaving behind a legacy in the community that continues to uphold those values.

Richard “Dick” Johnson passed away Aug. 14, 2010, in Seattle, at the age of 78. During his tenure, several new school programs were started, the high school was built, the senior center was saved and more.

He leaves behind his own family — which includes current Cashmere School District Superintendent Glenn Johnson — as well as a community and a network of former coworkers who remember him as a mover and shaker.

“He always said that you can tell a lot about a community by how they treat their kids and how they treat their seniors,” he said.

With that in mind, in the early 1980s, Johnson came up with a plan to save the senior center and took the idea to Crossland and Pete Meredith, a downtown business owner.

At the time, Crossland said, the bank was getting ready to foreclose on the building.

“He came upon this idea where the three of us essentially bought the building,” and then set about raising money, $100,000, to set up a group to buy it back.

That was one of after returning to Cashmere in the things about that project, his the early ’70s. attitude for fundraising. He said, Crossland got to know Johnson ‘We’re going to strike hard and well while serving as chairman of fast and not drag it out.’ He said

we were going to do it in less than a month. It was unbelievable.”

Somewhere in the process, Crossland said, “The county commissioners decided saving the senior center was a good idea and got on the bandwagon to provide the money, so we gave back all the money we had raised. Then the auditor decided that they couldn’t do that because it was the gift of public funds, so we had to raise it again.”

They did it, with the help of personal pledges of support.

“The wives were not happy,” Crossland said.

But it was Dick’s creativity, enthusiasm and drive that got the job done, Crossland said.

“He wasn’t self-serving. He was genuinely interested in the community and the kids. He truly loved kids,” Crossland said. “He was in the right profession. And he set the bar high in terms of a quality education in Cashmere.

That included setting the bar high

Chelan County Fair 2010 is big time fun

By Ian Dunn Editor It was in the fall of 1990, and Corky Broaddus, then public information officer for the Lake Wenatchee Ranger District, was riding in a car with a pair of fisheries biologists. You see, there was a Forest Service fisheries biologist workshop happening at the time.

Soon, the two biologists began brainstorming ideas about special event for a natural resource.

The ever curious Broaddus

could not help but overhear the discussion. And as she pondered the possibilities for such an event, she could not help but notice the bountiful run of summer chinook salmon coming up the Tumwater Canyon.

Then came the epiphany.

“As we drive up the canyon, I think.....that’s it!,” Broaddus recalled. “Look at those salmon!

Maybe this event should be about salmon.”

And so it was, the idea for a See SALMON on Page 4

Homeowner kills mother bear; Pear harvest underway, but packers quiet about yield cubs may be euthanized Wildlife officials advise getting rid of garbage, birdfeeders and dog food

By Nevonne McDaniels Staff writer A homeowner shot and killed a 160-pound mother bear Thursday evening at 7776 Icicle Road, Leavenworth.

The two orphan cubs, that each weigh about 35 pounds, were treed and captured by state Fish and Wildlife representatives Friday morning.

Rich Beausoleil, the bear and cougar specialist for the Washington Fish and Wildlife Department, based in Wenatchee, said the incident was entirely avoidable.

He said the homeowner apparently had been having problems with raccoons getting into his birdfeeder and dogfood, so when he heard a noise Thursday night, he turned his dogs loose to chase away what he figured were raccoons.

When one of the dogs didn’t come back, the homeowner went back into his house and grabbed his gun and went in search of his dog.

He found the bear between him and his dog.

“He thought something might happen, so he shot it,” Beausoleil said. “Then he saw the two cubs up the tree.”

The dog was unharmed.

Fish and Wildlife agents are trying to find space in a rehabilitation facility for the cubs, but space is tight. If space is not available at one of the two

state certified facilities in the region (one in Western Washington and the other in Boise, Idaho), the cubs will have to be euthanized.

But Beausolleil said he would like to get the word out that this is not a bear problem.

“There are bears and raccoons there because there’s food. You can’t blame the animals for taking advantage of a free drive-through,” he said. “We need people to understand that, especially now, when they are getting ready for winter slumber and trying to pack on pounds, they are looking for food. And when they come through Leavenworth, if there’s a free lunch, they’re going to stay.”

People need to secure their garbage, take down their birdfeeders and don’t feed pets outside.”

The incident is being investigated by state Fish and Wildlife. No arrests were made.

“The owner was within his rights,” Beausoleil said, “but all they had to do was not turn the dogs out. If you see a bear lumbering around, let it go.

“We’ve had quite a few incidents. It keeps coming back to letting people know it’s not a bear problem. It’s not overpopulation. It’s because people are offering them a free meal,” he said.

The bears are looking at hibernation in the next 45 to 60 days and will take food wherever they can find it, he said, so it is imperative that people be smart about not offering the big three: garbage, pet food and bird feeders.

“Those are the three things that seem to be at every call we go on,” he said.

The Upper Valley pear season is in full swing. Bartletts are about finished and the pickers are moving on to bosc and Anjou.

But that’s about all the information being released at the moment.

“We don’t have a lot of information right now,” said Dan Kelly, assistant manager at the Washington Growers Clearing House Association in Wenatchee.

“They’re in the middle of harvest and no one wants to talk.”

But, he said, all indications are it’s going to be a good harvest.

Not the best, not the worst, but somewhere in between.

“The fruit looks good on the

trees,” he said. He noticed that much when he was riding his bike on the back roads of Cashmere last week. The projection is it’s going to be just below last year for overall volume, but we still don’t have a good number on that,” he said.

“The rain the last two days hasn’t helped, but it seems to be a temporary issue. Weather-related, we haven’t had anything too major to be concerned about,” he said. Nothing like the hail storm that hit trees in the spring several years ago.

“The next weather issue might be a possible freeze, but most of the pears should be off by then,” he said. “That’s more a concern for apples. The pears are usually done by the end of September.”

The tariff on fruit shipped to

Mexico remains an issue for selling the fruit, he said.

“It’s not going away anytime soon. That has to be done through Washington, D.C. Easier said than done,” Kelly said, “but we’ve been able to live with it until now.

It’s one of the negatives and will probably slow down our exports to Mexico, which is our number one export.”

Cristie Mather, director of communications at Pear Bureau Northwest, said orders for Northwest pears are coming in from around the world, and the first shipments are on their way.

“Overall, the crop is smaller than last year’s record-breaking size, and about 2 percent smaller than the five-year average size.”

County smokers kicking the habit, survey shows

By Nevonne McDaniels Staff writer Chelan County residents are cutting back on their smoking habit — according to statistics released last month from a 2009 national telephone survey.

The results show that Chelan County’s smoking rates dropped 41 percent in the past 10 years, and are 14.8 percent below the state average, while statewide smoking rates have

dropped 32 percent.

Chelan-Douglas Health District Administrator Barry Kling said the statistics from the U.S. Center for Disease Control’s Behavior Risk Factor Survey are a positive sign.

“The information is collected through a telephone survey done nationally every year. It’s the best available information on many aspects of health behaviors,” he said.

“But it could be better.”

The sample size, especially for

smaller populations, is pretty small, he said. It is meaningful at the state level, with larger populations. With the smaller counties, though, the numbers aren’t quite as solid, but they are a pretty good indication.

“If it were just 2 percent lower, it wouldn’t be time to have a party,” he said. But 41 percent, is a good sign.

And it hasn’t come by accident, with some credit given to the 5-year-

Bill Forhan Publisher Atlantic Monthly reporter Jeffrey Goldberg recently interviewed former Cuban President Fidel Castro and reported that according to Castro, “communism no longer works for Cuba.” Of course by Friday he was denying the statement saying his comment was misunderstood. First he said he was joking, then he said he meant to say capitalism doesn’t work. Whether he was

joking or confused doesn’t really matter because 50 years of communism has clearly not resulted in a higher standard of living for the Cuban people.

One would think that our President would be able to use the power of his great intellect to look around the world at the failures of centralized planning and recognize that fact. But no, Obama continues to use his worn out story that “spreading the wealth around” improves life for everyone.

But exactly whose life is Obama trying to improve? His policies have continued to exacerbate the problems of a troubled economy.

Let’s just look at one really local example. The Mexican

government imposed 20 percent tariffs in April 2009 on a lengthy list of American exports after Congress killed a pilot program that allowed a limited number of Mexican trucks full access to U.S. highways. That new tariff contributed to a $19.7 million decline in the value of Washington agricultural products exported to Mexico last year according to the Washington Department of Agriculture.

Why was the pilot truck program killed? Unionized American truckers protested the program.

Now Washington growers and the Washington state economy are being heavily impacted by the inaction of a union controlled Congress and President.

After complaints from Wash-

Well, here we are again in Pear harvest. Like last year, our livelihood is greatly affected by the Mexico Tariff. Even more farmers are going to go bankrupt this year. Did you know that processed potatoes are also subject to a 20 percent retaliatory tariff, as are pears and cherries.

In the last two weeks even more tariffs have been added. The new Mexican tariff on apples alo ne will cost Washington tree fruit growers over $44 million dollars in 2010-11.

You may know that Bob (Boyd) made a trip to Washington DC with other farmers and talked to many folks about getting this tariff issue resolved. So far no

one in DC has listened or lifted a finger to help.

Please contact the White House and urge that they resolve the Mexican Trucking issue. They’ve promised for months, and nothing has been done. Go to www. whitehouse.gov and scan to the bottom of the page and click contacts to send an electronic message or call 202-456-1414. I am in hope that you will pass this on to others on your email list. We need a huge flood of emails and calls to get some attention before the situation gets worse.

I’ve included some other details below about the financial and job losses in the last few months. It does not just affect pear grow-

ers. It’s a huge ripple effect. It’s the workers. The grocery stores where they buy their food, and it’s the whole town’s economy. It’s the whole state economy.

The largest private employer in Prosser — the town’s potato processing plant ConAgra Lamb Weston— shut down on May 30, putting 250 out of work! Prosser is located along the Yakima River in Benton County in south-central Washington. The town has about 5,000 people.

Officials at the Washington State Potato Commission blamed the U.S. Congress for the plant closing, because a cross-border trucking program with Mexico was terminated and that gener-

ated “retaliatory tariffs” and “decreases in exports.”

“The resulting 20 percent tariff on U.S. French fries exported to Mexico has cost Washington state over 32 million pounds of export business with Mexico at a value of over $15 million,” said Matt Harris, director of trade for the state potato commission, in a statement.

Linda Boyd Peshastin PS: Here’s a letter that was sent last year in hopes that someone would listen and work on the problem: April 9, 2009 Gary Locke, Secretary U.S. Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington DC 20230 Dear Secretary Locke, The Washington Growers Clearing House Association is a non-profit tree fruit grower association with approximately 2,135 tree fruit grower members in Washington State.

As a result of recent US Federal action, Washington State apricot, cherry and pear growers find themselves caught in a trade dispute between the US and Mexico.

Because the 2009 US Omnibus Appropriations Act (Section 136) eliminated the U.S./Mexico crossborder truck safety inspection program (previously agreed to as partial compliance with NAFTA) Mexico has decided to punish apricot, cherry and pear growers with a 20% tariff.

The tariff will increase the cost to retailers by $3 to $4 a box making it more attractive for Mexico’s retailers to purchase apricots, cherries and pears from other countries such as Argentina.

Mexico is the number one export market for Washington pears. During the 2007-08 marketing season Washington State shipped approximately 2.6 million boxes of pears to Mexico, worth approximately $48 million FOB. It is estimated that the tariff will cause a 30 percent decline in Washington pear sales and about 50 percent decline in cherry and apricot sales. The reduction in Mexican demand for fresh Washington tree fruit products will force US marketers to put those apricots, cherries and pears in other already supplied markets, reducing fob prices in other markets and significantly reducing incomes to family tree fruit growers in the rural areas of Washington State.

Especially during this worldwide economic downturn Washington growers, shippers, marketers, affiliated suppliers and their employees can ill afford significant reductions in their incomes.

Maintaining access to export markets, such as Mexico, is crucial for the sustainability of Washington State’s rural economies and tree fruit farm families who are facing very difficult economic times, trade restrictions, high input costs, increasing regulatory costs, volatile prices, tightening credit and weather related issues.

It is crucial that prompt action be taken to eliminate tariffs.

Growers stand to lose more than $3.5 million in the remaining three months of this season. Please act fast to resolve this issue.

Thank you.

In the words of Jefferson the clause (First Amendment) was intended to erect a wall of separation between church and state.

The men who created our constitution were men of different religious faiths and convictions but they were also highly educated in law and history. They knew the various repressive state/religious government in Europe and how they ruled over their people and they didn’t want any part of that.

The coffee drinker (in his letter) gives a great example of why there should be a separation of state and religion (concerning the Nazi government).

The founding fathers agreed that our new nation should not belong to any particular church, but that it should secure the rights of all.

Supreme Court decisions have stated neither a state nor the federal government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws that aid one religion, and all religions, or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go to, or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion.

I for one will stand up for our Constitution who grants for us – We The People, under law, the right to worship as we so please and keep any and all religion out of our government. So be ever so alert when self-proclaiming individuals of one faith think they have a monopoly over religions which they consider inferior to theirs. Look at history an evil man named Adolph did exactly that. Hitler convinced Christian Germany that the Jews were an inferior people and caused that nation’s problem both economically and morally. Nobody said anything and it became that

government policy. We know what happened in Germany after that.

We the People must protect our Constitutional rights and its stated policy concerning religion – not to be included into our government, it’s better for religion and better for our country.

We live in a country protected by law not by religious doctrine.

So stand up for our Constitution.

Amen.

Muslims

Valenti wrong

In reference to the letter by Keith Guenther in the August 25 issue, sir you sure have your head in the sand (or somewhere else) when it comes to Islam.

The Quran/Koran states that “Infidels” should be killed. You say that people should not form opinions from talk shows, just facts. Does this include seeing a video of a person having his throat cut? You also say that Muslims “became enlightened” and banned slavery over 1,000 years ago. However, it’s still practiced by Saudi Arabia today where Sudanese, especially girls, are bought from poverty-stricken parents or kidnapped.

If Islam is a religion of “peace and friendship,” what is the evidence? Hamas in the Gaza strip firing indiscriminate rockets into Israel? Girls being doused with acid in Afghanistan for the “crime” of attending school? A couple stoned to death for adultery in Iran?

In short, you are full of bull.

This letter is in response to Frank Valenti’s letter to the editor of the Echo on Sept. 8.

I would like to know why liberals are so opposed to a different perspective. I agree with Bill Forhan’s editorials 90 percent of the time. That doesn’t mean I’m so insecure that I can’t handle another point of view. As publisher of the Echo I think Mr. Forhan is very gracious in giving editors who do not agree with him a voice in his publication. Most of the media is biased for the liberals. Frank, what makes you believe that the liberal opinion is the only valid opinion? I happen to believe that the Libertarian platform in this country stands for truth and liberty and that the liberal left is sucking our country dry. I’m not going to call you a fear monger and liar for your beliefs. I am going to ask you to admit you were wrong if we continue on the currant path and the people in our country lose their basic rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Social Security safe For those in this column who have been critical of Social Security as being “bankrupt” or who are having heartburn over it being too “socialistic,” here’s a few reminders: SS is not slated to hit the wall [when benefits exceed collections] until 2037. Currently, SS tax is capped at 6.2 percent of the first $106,800. Meaning someone who earns double that pays half the rate and someone who earns ten times that pays 1/10the rate, while the primary income of our wealthier citizens-investment income-is not taxed at all by SS. How socialistic is this?

As well, the Congressional Budget office estimates if the cap was eliminated, the 2037 wall would be pushed out to 2075.

And if investment income were not exempt, there would be no Social Security crisis ever and benefits could increase significantly.

The Republican solution?

Protect the exemptions that favor the wealthier by making SS recipients work till they are 70.

The real opposition to Social Security is corporate America,

represented by such groups as the US Chamber of Commerce.

Because if the income cap were lifted for earners, the fear is it might also be lifted for employers.

In fact, the system is not in trouble as structured. It has, according to Dave Lindforff /columnist, “been pilfered over the years by politicians unwilling to raise taxes to fund America’s wars, schools, infrastructure, etc.” In other words, they rob it and then blame it.

Social Security, if allowed to stand on it’s own as FDR gave it to us, and if not capped so all earners paid the same rate, would be a very solvent and secure system...a safety net that would temper much of the need to trust our retirement to Wall Street. And we know how secure that is.

Mark Lindstrom Lake Wenatchee Publisher’s response: Mark, interesting way to look at this, but what happens if the politicians continue to rob the plan? Also, what would happen to a corporate manager who mismanaged their employees’ pension plan as badly as our robber baron politicians?

Oh, that’s right they would be in jail.

Stand up for constitution I stand with the Constitution of the U.S.A. Specifically the First Amendment (made applicable to the states by the 14th Amendment). The First Amendment states congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, and it continues concerning freedom of speech, press, assembly and petition of government for grievances.

Opinion Democrats now resorting to smear tactics Adele

Ferguson Syndicated Columnist Well, look who got a write-up in the Wall Street Journal.

Our own Dino Rossi, in a tantalizing top of the page editorial entitled “A Washington State Smear Campaign.”

“Desperate political environments tend to inspire desperate political tactics,” writes Kimberley A. Strassel. “In Washington

State, liberal activists are desperate.”

Dino attracted the Journal’s attention in his race to unseat U.S. Sen. Patty Murray because if this turns out to be a “wave election” on Nov. 2, meaning a loss of over 20 seats by the Democrat majority, our man could be the 51st Republican vote in the Senate. And now that he is leading in some polls says Strassel, “the left is unleashing the dirty tricks.”

Well, the left knows how to do it. Dino went down in history as having been elected governor here twice, on election night and in a machine recount, but never count King County out when it seeks power. They managed to come up with some boxes of

uncounted ballots after the polls had closed to give Democrat Chris Gregoire 129 more votes than him.

Strassel doesn’t rehash the 2004 race but the rematch in 2008 when activist trial lawyer Knoll Lowney filed a lawsuit against the Building Industry Association of Washington claiming it was using workers comp money to fund political campaigns. BIAW is a big backer of Rossi.

Lowney demanded that a judge immediately bar the BIAW from accessing any money it might use for Rossi. The judge said no so Lowney filed another lawsuit claiming BIAW and Rossi improperly colluded on campaign activities.

Lowney got a judge to allow him to depose Rossi eight days before the election, an action that put enough doubt in voters’ minds to cost him the election, according to Strassel. The lawsuit was dropped. It wasn’t needed any more.

But, by golly, here it comes again. Rossi had no sooner declared for the Senate than Lowney sent a process server with a subpoena to Rossi’s home demanding more documents from the years of both elections, 2004 and 2008.

This despite the fact the Public Disclosure Commission conducted its own investigation into the affair and gave him a clean bill of health way last March.

The trial for the new lawsuit

originally was set for Nov. 1, the day before the election but it was moved until after the election by the judge in the case, Mike Heavey, of the well known Heavey family which is well established in the Democratic Party. There is no telling what Lowney will ask for in the meantime, reporter Strassel says, (obviously to force the matter back in the public eye in the hope of rekindling doubt as to Rossi’s integrity), “but no one should be surprised when he asks for it.. We’re now about to discover whether Washington’s judicial system will again be abused for politics.

Washingtonians should watch this one.”

We’re not the only ones watch-

ing. The Rossi-Murrray contest has crept up into the top events of the election. Just this morning, I heard Chuck Todd, NBC’s political analyst, say that President Obama has some busy times ahead. “He’s going to spend a lot of time trying to save Barbara Boxer in California and Patty Murray in Washington State.”

Personally, I am so sick of her ads on TV that run all day long wherein she claims credit for everything but the capping of the oil well. She’s being sold as the most powerful woman in Congress. Then why are the D’s worried?

a man who died 50 some years before the Mayflower set sail must seem as comforting as fingernails screeching across a chalkboard to those who distain our Calvinist heritage. But let us set aside for a moment the concepts that John Calvin taught from the Bible, those that our founding fathers understood; things like governments being ordained by God and accountable to Him, the need for law, from whom our freedom and rights come, the sinful nature of man, the priesthood of believers (whereby there is one mediator between God and man, and that people should be able to read and understand the Bible, which is crucial to their education), representative government, the sacredness of life, liberty, property, work and most of all, man’s need to call on his Creator for forgiveness, help, guidance, comfort and blessing.

With these principles aside we have the foundation upon which to build a secular government, a Beware secular government that will always look out for the interests of its subjects, government The idea that our founding a government where “freedom” fathers were influenced by the is granted by the state (even Bible and that their understand- churches today operate under the ing of the Bible was shaped by the permission of the state, so where teachings (for the most part) from is that wall of separation?), a government that sees itself as “god”

on earth and must “protect” the environment from the industry of man, a government that is not accountable to God and must be separate from God. (Now we can see how the deaths of 19 men and women at the Salem, Mass. witch trials are viewed as “fanatical temper,” while the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision can be seen as liberating many, many women from the bondage of pregnancy). A government that believes it can spend its way to prosperity by taking the labor of those not yet born. And a government that promises to make a heaven on earth by taking from those who have, and giving it to those who don’t. These and many other secular ideas have paved the way to this point in our culture.

It was not the religion of John Calvin that helped form our system of government; it was his theology (his study of God and God’s relation to the world) that influenced our founding father’s thinking. On June 28, 1787 Ben Franklin expressed this theology in a speech to the delegates by quoting Ps. 127:1 and then said, “I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building, no better than

the builders of Babel.”

Secular government demands that we return to that man centered political structure. If Mr. Zaferes wishes to hold the view that George Washington was the father of our country while dismissing Calvin’s influence that is fine, but was it Washington who moved the signers of the Declaration of Independence and those at the Constitutional Convention, not to mention those that came from England long before he was born? To say He did would be the “smokescreen!”

last ten years minimum! 100,000 American military deaths! War to cost over $3 trillion!” etc., all widely published liberal/ Democrat claims during the war, along with “Unwinnable” (Barney Frank), “The war is lost!”

(Harry Reid), “The Iraq war can’t be won.” (Senator Obama), ad nauseam.

All the deaths have their own ratio of tragedy, of course. I’ve been to war. And it remains arguable whether the money was well spent or the war well advised. A new generation of historians with no political axes to grind will sort this out in 30 years or so, probably according to how democracy does or doesn’t fare in the notoriously unstable Middle East.

Regardless, had the cut-and-run American left not held out years of continual hope that Democrats would force an American surrender if the insurgency just blew up one more crowd of Iraqi civilians or another squad of coalition soldiers, then the Iraq war would surely have been much shorter and cheaper, and the military and civilian death rates correspondingly much lower. Here, the Democrat left must answer to history.

Letters to the editor Continued from Page 2

Ignorant of world history In his letter of Sept. 2, Bill Cowles revealed not only his unChristian bigotry toward Muslims, but also his profound ignorance of world history by twice referring to an ‘Islamic caliphate’ as if this was a living entity aimed at Godknows-what hideous plot to destroy Peshastin.

Here is a brief lesson in history and politics for Cowles. After the death of Muhammad a series of followers were elected to govern the expanding Islamic state. These were called Caliphs, meaning ‘successor’ in Arabic. They were followed by two hereditary dynasties of Caliphs, the most famous of which was the Abbasid which ruled in Baghdad until 1261, and which forms our impression of ‘Arabian Nights’ rule. (Incidentally, the split in Islam between Shia and Sunni came about because the Shia believed that only descendents of Muhammad’s cousin and son-inlaw Ali were eligible to be Imam and Caliph.) From 1261 until 1519 the Abbasids continued as Caliphs, but only in religious matters, under the Mamluks in Cairo. The

Mamluks ceded the caliphate to the Turkish Ottoman dynasty in 1519, and Ottoman sultans were Caliphs until 1924, when Mustafa Kemal Ataturk abolished the office.

In case Cowles misses the point of the last sentence I will make it clearer to him. There is no Islamic Caliphate! When he says ‘…we must defend ourselves from the Islamic caliphate’ he is making as much sense as if he said “we must defend ourselves from the Mongol Hordes” or “we must defend ourselves from the Vikings.”

The ‘overwhelming information’ he refers to in order to support his paranoid viewpoint is probably at least as reliable as his fear of the non-existent ‘Islamic caliphate.’ I will repeat slowly for his enlightenment, “Just because you see it on the Internet does not make it true.”

Community STEELHEAD: Huge run of steelhead headed upriver Continued from Page 1

the best bet to catch a steelhead.

Still, it is highly likely the rains induced some steelhead to come up the Wenatchee, so fishing may not be a complete bust.

With a huge run of steelhead reportedly heading up the Columbia River, Viola said they are a being pretty liberal with the catch limits and the season itself.

“Steelhead over Priest Rapids is double the 10 year average,” he said.

“We’ve made the limit four hatchery fish and you have to keep them.

Having hatchery fish in the stream does nothing for the wild fish.”

The goal of the fishery is different that any other, Viola said. The goal of the fishery is to remove the excess hatchery steelhead in the stream.

“We have to monitor how many are harvested versus any wild fish in the river,” he said.

Normal catch limits vary between two and four fish. Because so many steelhead are headed this way, it just made sense to make the limit four, Viola said.

He admits it will be hard to catch four steelhead in Wenatchee River, but considers the Columbia River

limit very reasonable. He believes the Methow River will have some good fishing as well.

Local fishing guru, Bob Stroup with Trout Unlimited, said he expects the fishing to start out slow and then pick up.

“A lot of hatchery fish will be caught,” Stroup said. “The height of the fishing on the Wenatchee will be in November and December. I caution everyone to follow the rules.”

The rules include the use of single, barbless hooks. Bait cannot be used in the Wenatchee River, but is allowed on the Columbia. If a wild fish is caught, it is not to be removed from the water or handled in any way. These fishing rules supersede any of the fishing rules, Viola said.

Most important is that anglers keep the hatchery fish. Catch and release does not help them accomplish their goal.

After years of trying, Viola said WSDFW is finally seeing the light and letting them establish a wild fish sanctuary above Tumwater Dam on the Wenatchee River. No hatchery fish are allowed to pass the Tumwater Dam. “Every wild fish at Tumwater Dam gets transferred above. The

best spawning areas are above,” he said. “We would like to get enough wild fish up there to completely seed it.”

To date, nearly 800 wild steelhead have been counted going over the Tumwater Dam. The two overall goals for the Wenatchee River are to boost wild fish numbers so they will not go extinct. The other goal is to mitigate for Columbia River dams. This is why the hatchery fish are being raised.

“The two goals are separated, so people can fish and have fun and the fish have a chance to recover,” he said. “Taking those hatchery fish out is really going to help us. There are some spawning areas below the dam so we want to give those fish as much of a chance as possible.”

The steelhead will not spawn until the spring, so any heading up river are just looking for a good space to hang out until then. And unlike their entire life cycle, the main goal is not to eat.

“Their main goal is to get to the spawning grounds. Eating is secondary,” Viola said. “Water temperature determines where you can catch a bunch of them. When the water is warm, they don’t want to

eat. At the right temperature, they eat more food.”

Once the hatchery fish are turned away at Tumwater Dam, Viola said they typically move back downstream and hang out between Leavenworth and Wenatchee.

Normally, steelhead season does not open until mid to late September, but with the big run coming, Viola said they did not hesitate to open the season. They wanted those anglers out there early.

Stroup thinks word about the Wenatchee opening is getting around, mainly because of the stream’s longtime reputation among anglers.

“A long time ago, when we had a steelhead season every year, guides marked this as one of the best streams around. It’s renown,” Stroup said. “People will target this area. Making the Wenatchee River as a year round destination to fish is one of Trout Unlimited’s goals” The limited amount of public access for boats to the river is a problem, Stroup admits. He said his group is now trying establish a new access point near Dryden Dam. Ian Dunn can be reached at 5485286 or editor@leavenworthecho. com.

New garbage truck

Photo by Nevonne McDaniels

Cashmere Sanitation Department Supervisor Matt Luckensmeyer stands by the city’s new garbage truck that went into operation Sept. 1. The new truck has a mechanical arm that loads the garbage from the side, allowing the driver to stay inside the truck — most of the time. Luckensmeyer said he has spent quite a bit of time outside the truck talking with some of the city’s 1,400 customers who have questions about the new system, which requires the garbage cans to be placed facing the road. Maneuvering the truck so the claw is in the right position in front of the can is the most difficult aspect so far, he said.

Community JOHNSON: Fondly remembered SALMON: Has served as a model for other similar festivals Continued from Page 1

for excellent facilities. He believed in building them right and maintaining them. And I think the community has continued with that attitude.”

Crossland said he recalls the day a group of people showed up in his law office and wanted to know what he thought about Dick Johnson. It was a delegation from the Wenatchee School District and they were looking to hire a new superintendent.

“I told them, ‘I know what I’d like to tell you because I would like him to stay here, but I have to tell the truth. You would be really lucky to get him.’”

They hired him.

“I take part of the blame for that,” Crossland said. Johnson worked as the superintendent of the Wenatchee School District from 1983 to 1991.

“If we’re picking out pillars of the community, he was one of them, for sure. He is fondly remembered,” Crossland said. “And it’s wonderful to see Glenn follow in his footsteps, working for excellence in education.”

Bernie and Bob Griffith met Johnson when they arrived in Cashmere with their two children in 1969 “to begin our careers in education,” Bernie Griffith said.

“After meeting with Dick, we immediately knew that we had made the right decision in selecting Cashmere. Starting any new program could be difficult, but the support that Dick gave Bob as he began the Distributive Education Program at Cashmere High School helped make it a success right from the beginning,” she said.

When Bernie Griffith approached Johnson about starting a Career Education Program at Vale Elementary School, Johnson’s response was, “How will it help our kids?”

“He was most helpful throughout the many years as we wrote countless proposals and received grant money for working with teachers and students. I found that Dick was always open to new ideas and during his time in Cashmere a true middle school was developed which won a national award.

Also, the Corps of Discovery was developed under Dick’s term as superintendent and is still a viable program.”

“I truly feel honored that I had the opportunity to work for and with Dick during his years in Cashmere,” she said.

Kathy Lautensleger worked as a teacher in the Cashmere School District when Johnson was superintendent. Her husband, Con, was a principal.

“Dick felt that kids always came first. When you asked him something, his response was always, ‘What’s it do for kids?’” she said.

Two of Johnsons four sons, Glenn and Mark, followed him into the field of education. Glenn is the current Cashmere School District superintendent. Mark is the superintendent at Nooksack Valley. When Dick Johnson moved to take the superintendent’s job in Wenatchee, Mark was working as a teacher and principal there.

“It was strange to get a paycheck with your father’s name on it,” he said.

Both credit him with passing on his philosophy about children and his respect for education, though both say they never intended to follow in his footsteps.

All four of Johnson’s sons, including Dean, who is in the banking industry, and Carl, who is in construction, agree that their father set high expectations, for his teachers, his community and his own children.

And that was a good thing.

He applied the same standards to himself.

“He always pushed for excellence,” Mark Johnson said. “And he was intense about his hobbies, whether it was raising dahlias, refinishing antiques or carving ducks.”

Ultimately, though, his life revolved around children, which was evident by the look on his face whenever one of the grandchildren or greatgrandchildren entered the room.

A memorial service was held Sept. 11 at Cashmere High School.

(Johnson’s obituary was published in the Sept. 8 issue of the Cashmere Valley Record.) The Johnson brothers said that even though their father had lived away from Cashmere, “this was home in many ways. It was a unanimous decision to hold the service over here.”

Salmon Festival was hatched.

The following fall, in 1991, a modest Wenatchee River Salmon Festival was produced at the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery. Some 2,500 people attended.

There were some Indian dances, a fish tent, a couple guitar players, and a hatchery tour. It was considered a success at the time.

This week, as the Wenatchee River Salmon Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary, 10,000 people will attend. It is now considered one of the premier natural resource festivals in the country.

“Multiply that by 30 times,” Broaddus said, comparing this year’s festival to first one. “We have 35 activities on kids day alone.

Now we have 94 classrooms from 30 schools, from the Canadian border to Zillah. We never stopped growing or trying to make it better.”

Planning that first one was quite an endeavor, as Broaddus soon found out. She took her idea to Greg Pratschner, then the Leavenworth Hatchery Complex manager. He thought the hatchery grounds would make an ideal place for the festival.

“We could set it up for however many people came,” said the now retired Pratschner. “That was the highlight of my career, together with the Cascade Discovery School program. A bunch of us just got together and talked about the wildlife heritage we have here.”

One of Broaddus first tasks was to find a person to head up the festival, but after long consideration, it was decided she would take on the assignment, which was to last for nine months. She would have that time to get the ball rolling on the new festival.

She picked a team of people to help put it all together, including USFS Wildlife Biologist Heather Murphy, USFS Fish Biologist Ken MacDonald, Lake Wenatchee District Ranger George Pozzuto, Leavenworth District Ranger Becky Heath, Leavenworth Chamber Director Laura Jobin and Wenatchee National Forest Supervisor Sonny O’Neal.

“We had this one meeting. I will never forget it,” Broaddus said. “It was Kristall’s banquet room. I was nervous. The focus was going to be education, but also getting the community to know what was in our backyard. Something we can teach

our neighbors about.”

All along Broaddus says it was their intent to continue after the first festival, but the reality was they wanted to see how it went the first time and see where they could take it.

“In our view, it did become a success,” Broaddus said. “so much so that the agencies and partners involved said we are going for it another time.”

With education as the cornerstone, USFS employee Susan Thomas came on board in 1993 as the education specialist and help shaped the educational foundation of the festival.

In the early years, it was pretty much a free-for-all in terms of what school buses might show up.

But three years into it, Thomas said all recognized the focus really needed to be on education.

“We really wanted to focus with teachers,” Thomas said. “How can we optimize the learning that can go on here. Not just as a festival itself. But how can we frontload that learning in the classroom, engaging teachers, engaging kids before they even get to the festival.”

Thomas, who was former public school teacher, and Rachel Little of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service basically hunkered down and created the curriculum which is still in place to this day.

They dissected every single activity at the festival and examined the learning opportunities, and possible tie-ins to state standards. The fish printing would be one example.

“The teachers are beginning in the classroom, teaching all about fish anatomy, so when they come to the festival, they are not just painting those fish,” she said. “They are also breaking down the anatomy of the fish.”

Little and Thomas created seven activities. When Rebecca Franco came on board, Thomas said they added more activities. In all, there is now an inch and half think binder full of curriculum.

“It’s been a collective effort of us all building this education piece,” Thomas said. “It’s so much more meaningful when they learn in the classroom about the Stone Fly, then get into the water and hold one in their hand.”

In 1994, devastating fires hit the Leavenworth area, mainly in the Icicle Canyon near the hatchery.

Since the hatchery was a base

camp for the fire crews, presenting a festival that year was very much in doubt.

In the end, Broaddus and company had only six weeks to present the festival. They decided part of the festival would focus on the fires.

“It was such a shattering event for this community, I realized we have to have this,” Thomas said.

“We need a meeting ground. It was reunion and tying in an amazing educational opportunity. Wedge Mountain was still smoking.”

The biggest ever crowd showed up at the festival that year, mostly locals just needing to talk about the fires.

“People just needed to get together,” Broaddus said. “It was an emotional time. That was a big year for us.”

In 1996, Broaddus stepped from the role as festival director. Others came on board to serve in this capacity including Chris Rader and Rhona Baron.

Betsy McIndoe came on board as director in 2001 and has been there ever since. She acknowledges the challenges of producing the festival each year, trying to top what was done the year before.

“It’s always hard to try and bring something new. We try and do new activities and get entertainment that we haven’t had before,” McIndoe said. “We just try to keep it fresh. It’s a challenge to coordinate so many different agencies. And working with the tribes.”

There were so many contributors to the festival over the years, including longtime volunteer Sheila Bergren. Her favorite part is to watch all the children come on the school buses.

David Winters, who was supervising a YVC crew, helped with the first festival. He continued to be involved for a number of years.

“We had no idea what we were getting into,” Winters said. “But now with all the activities. It is such a cool thing for the community.”

Becky Heath, who is now the

supervisor of the Wenatchee-Okanogan National Forest, said she is thrilled to see how the festival has grown the past 20 years.

“Children who attended Salmon Fest in the early days are now parents bringing their kids,” Heath said. “The commitment and passion of the early partners was critical to making the Salmon Fest a reality.

Today, it has become a nationally recognized environmental education event that annually reaches thousands of children and adults in the U.S. and Canada.”

The salmon festival has become a model for other natural resource festivals around the country. Several years into the festival, Broaddus was tasked with putting together a “how to” book on producing special events based on a natural resource.

The government printed 500 copies of this manual, which were distributed all over the country. Now, there are seven salmon festivals on the West Coast.

“This has been one of the premier models for other natural resource events around the country,” Broaddus said. “It was one of the first ones. The manual shows our organization, our timelines, our partners, programs, leadership.

We did economic studies and visitor surveys.”

What does the future hold for the Wenatchee River Salmon Festival?

The one person that has nurtured the festival since it’s beginning is planning to retire. Corky Broaddus is retiring, but insists she is not saying goodbye to the festival.

“I am not afraid to let it go because I know what the team is behind me,” she said. “I will always be involved with salmon fest but in a different capacity. I don’t know what that means right now. I have all the confidence this thing is going to go on and be wonderful. We’ll just continue.”

SMOKERS: Low income residents smoke the most Continued from Page 1

old smoking ban and tax increases on tobacco products. But Kling said marketing and education efforts to fight the tobacco industry advertising also have played a big role.

“Washington state has made more progress on it than other states, but we’ve focused a lot of money on it,” he said, referring to tobacco settlement funds the state earmarked for preventing tobacco use.

Kling said that while smoking rates in general have fallen, that hasn’t been the case for the low income population, who can least afford the health risks. Statistics show 20 percent of that population smoke.

“That’s higher than the rest of the population,” he said.

And that’s just one piece of bad news, he said. But he has more.

The second piece of bad news is that, as the last legislative session, remaining money from the tobacco settlement and the state’s tobacco tax revenues will no longer be used for smoking prevention efforts.

And that, he said, comes at a time when the tobacco industry is spending millions of dollars on marketing, not only on smoking products, but also smokeless products, which come with their own health concerns.

Kling said continuing to educate the public about the health risks is vital.

“If we reduce our prevention efforts, there is little doubt smoking

rates will increase. The tobacco industry has a $146 million advertising budget for tobacco products in our state to try and increase tobacco use here,” he said.

If something doesn’t change between now and next June, he said, “We will have substantially less money for educating the public on the risks of smoking.”

Marilyn Dold, the tobacco coordinator for Chelan-Douglas Together for a Drug Free Youth, a nonprofit whose mission is education and advocacy, agrees.

She said the drop in rates is good news and, though the survey is for adults, it also is a reflection of the prevention efforts for youth.

“It’s a decade worth of data. Some of those are adolescents who quit smoking when they are adults,” she said.

One of the most effective programs is a mentor program in which high school students talk to middle school students about the ill-effects of smoking and other drug use issues.

And that, she said, is one of the

programs that is in danger of disappearing because of the change in legislative funding.

“We have multiple sources of funding,” she said, “but the main core of funding for the tobacco prevention efforts — for the quit line and the media campaign — comes from the settlement fund and taxes.”

The funding cuts are a serious concern, she said.

PEARS: Pear Bureau Northwest is estimating a smaller crop than last year Continued from Page 1

She said the harvest started about two weeks later than normal due to the cold, wet spring, and individual pieces of fruit are

a bit smaller than average size.

“The wet weather at harvest time doesn’t affect the pears as much as the cooler spring, but it doesn’t help the pears grow any larger in the final days before

they’re picked,” she said. “Still the crop is of good quality, and sales this season have already been brisk.

In June, Pear Bureau Northwest estimated the 2010 harvest

for Washington and Oregon to be 8 percent smaller than last year’s record-breaking crop. Part of the reduction was because of the unseasonably cold spring weather and that trees needed to

take a rest after a record production year.

The Pear Bureau has export promotions in 39 countries. The top export markets for USA pears are Mexico, Canada, Brazil,

Russia, the UAE, Columbia and Hong Kong. India is a growing market.

Floyd Rayfield

neral Chapel at 1 p.m. with Pastor Jon Vandel officiating. Concluding service and interment will be in the Mt. View Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the charity of ones choice.

Wa r d ’s F u n e r a l Ch ap e l , Leavenworth is in charge of the arrangements.

Thomas Magna Olson

Floyd Rayfield, 90, a resident of the Upper Valley for the past 65 years, went to be with the love of his life Pearl on Friday, Sept. 10, 2010, at his home in Peshastin.

Floyd was born on Sept. 6, 1920, to George Newton and Martha Ellen (Barnes) Rayfield at Sevier County, Tenn., where he received his early education. From 1937 to 1939, Floyd was in Gatlinburg in the Civilian Conservation Corps.

After leaving the CCC’s, he married Pearl I. Justus on Aug. 12, 1939, at Sevierville, Tenn. In 1940, they moved to Geauga County, Ohio, where he worked for a vault company. In 1942, they moved back to Sevierville, and in 1943, to Leavenworth where Floyd worked for the Peshastin Lumber and Box Co. on the woods crew.

In February of 1944, he enlisted in the United States Navy and served in WWII. After receiving his honorable discharge in September of 1945, he moved back to Leavenworth where he went back to work for Peshastin Lumber and Box woods crew, retiring in 1982.

Floyd enjoyed working around his home, especially in his yard and garden. He was also an avid fisherman and snowmobiler.

He is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, David and Sharon Rayfield of Leavenworth; two daughters and son-in-law, Betty “Cookie” and Roy McGregor of Leavenworth and Helen Rayfield and her companion Tom Hanson of Peshastin; 10 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Pearl in 2004, four brothers, six sisters and one grandson, Dean Rayfield.

A Funeral Service of Commemoration to celebrate the life of Floyd Rayfield will be held on Friday Sept. 17, 2010 at Ward’s Fu-

Thomas Magna Olson, 66 passed away on Sept. 8, 2010.

Tom was born in July 27, 1944 to Bjorne and Marcella Olson. He grew up and attended schools in the Mountlake Lake Terrace area but resided for the past 30 years at Lake Wenatchee and Cashmere.

In Lynnwood, he owned and operated the Overland Express Restaurant and had his own building company, Suburban Homes. With his wife, he owned 59er Diner, Lake Wenatchee, Bronze Bodies, Leavenworth Java Buzz,Cashmere.

He will be best remembered for his 20 years owning and operating the Cougar Inn Resort at Lake Wenatchee. Of all his businesses, Cougar Inn was the one he was the most passionate

about, the one that inspired the most vision, and the one he worked the hardest at. His time at Cougar Inn, his staff and his customers gave him great joy.

That was the time in his life when he was having the most fun of all.

Tom loved golf and especially his Thursday golf day at Leavenworth with his long time partner, Pete. He was awe struck with the breathtaking beauty, warmth and relaxation of the Wailea, Maui golf course, which was the place he loved the most on earth.

He leaves behind his wife of 30 years, Dodee, and the person he treasured the most, daughter Nicole Olson of Mukilteo, his sons Darrell and wife Donna Moser of Cashmere, and Doug and wife Cari Moser of Lynnwood who worked and played right beside their dad at Cougar Inn. He also leaves behind his mother Marcie Olson, Mountlake Terrace, sisters: Beverly and husband Heinz Prast, Dallas, TX, Patricia Newton, Cashmere , Cindy Olson, Mill Creek, three grandchildren Cameron, Jordan and Raegan Moser.

Tom was preceded in death by his father Bernie Olson, brothers Ricky, Bob, Larry and James (Buzz) Olson.

Tom was a visionary when it came to business. He lived a life full of exciting business adventures. He was surrounded by a loving family who always took delight in the gatherings, good food, and spirited fun at Cougar Inn; the vacations in Maui, and the warmth, love and great times he showed everyone.

Tom’s memorial service will be held Thursday Sept. 23, 1 p.m. at Evergreen Funeral Home, 4504 Broadway, Everett.

Bulldogs get physical with Cle Elum Warriors Next up: Connell

By Kyle Green Special to the Record The Cashmere Bulldogs continued their non-league schedule with a crushing win over the Cle Elum-Roslyn Warriors 53-8 last Friday night in Cashmere. The Cashmere boys did not start well on defense, allowing the Warriors to score on three plays in their opening drive, which was followed up with a two-point conversion to tie the game at 8.

“I was not happy about the slow start on defense”, said Head Coach Phil Zukowski. “It was just embarrassing. We had mistakes on offense, too, but overall I was very pleased and out side of the first drive I was happy with our defense.”

Cashmere scored on its opening drive, capped by a 20-yard pass from quarterback Tyler McNair to Kyle Weiler. They lined up to kick an extra point but holder Cooper Elliot pulled the snap down and stood up to throw a strike to Joe Green in the end zone for a two point conversion.

“We were excited all week to try that,” Green said.

Cle Elum came right back running the Wing-T offense. They moved the ball quickly for a first down running to the out side.

On their third play of the drive, Jake Gall took the ball around the right side 62 yards for a Warrior touchdown. They lined up and ran the same play for a two point conversion.

“We had a player at less than 100 percent on that end of our defense. We put Rudy Blomquist in

The Bulldog defense stiffened up in the second half after giving up two early scores. for him and that never happened good again.” again,” Zukowski said. “Rudy The bulldog defense never alplayed a very good game for us lowed any more big plays the rest and the pass coverage was very of the night, giving up only three first downs and no scores the rest of the way before bringing in the substitutions in the third and fourth quarter. Passing, Warrior quarterback Tyler Kretschman could only complete 4-of -6 passes for 25 yards. They had strong line play on defense from Caleb Barns and Dan Callahan as well; the Warrior running game never could penetrate the middle.

The Warriors punted five times and turned over on downs once the rest of the night while the

Bulldogs had two takeaways, a fumble caused by Joe Green, recovered by Michael Ruether, and an interception by Joey Michael.

The Cashmere defense seemed too physical for the Warrior offense.

Meanwhile the Bulldog offense rolled all game long led by a strong performance from Tyler McNair running 220 yards passing for 37. McNair, supported by a strong offensive line led by left tackle Caleb Barns, scored on the ground four times, throwing another.

“I felt like a cross country runner,” McNair said. “I had

sore legs the next day but it was fun.” Cashmere used a total of eight different ball carriers to amass a stunning 438 yards on the ground. The fullback combination of Kevin Kenoyer and Dan Callahan combined for 38 yards and the slot backs Joey Michael (70 yards), Michael Ruether (50 Yards) and Kyle Weiler (18 yards) provided good options for the ground attack. Other touchdowns were scored on the ground by Kevin Kenoyer from 3 yards, Joey Michael from 31 yards, and Brock Grams found the end zone from 2 yards out.

As early season games go, they don’t get any bigger. This week the defending state champion Connell Eagles come to Cashmere for a showdown of the last two state champs.

Connell is coming off a big win in their rematch with Chelan, last year’s state semi-final opponent. Connell dominated the game 35-7 using a number of different weapons on offense and frustrating Chelan’s passing attack.

Coach Zukowski likes playing these kinds of big games early.

“I love playing Connell and Royal like this, it tells us how good we are because they are such quality programs,” he said.

The coach plans to keep doing what they have been doing and keep the ball on the ground to eat up the game clock.

“We need to keep the ball out of Hadley’s hands or it will be a long night for us,” he said of junior runningback Matt Hadley of Connell. He gained 138 yards against Chelan after racking up 236 a year ago. Still the Eagles put up 281 yards on the ground and 194 in the air against the Goats last week.

“We will have some new wrinkles on defense this week for them,” he said. “We will work on our intensity this week.

We have had some good days of that but not a whole week.”

He also mentioned they will need to improve on the focus and reads for defensive ends and linebackers to be able to stop the Eagle weapons. Can Cashmere run the ball on them?

“With our line and other backs we can do what we’ve been doing so far,” McNair said.

The game will truly serve as a yard stick for the Bulldogs since most believe Connell will be at the top when the first polls come out.

Cross-country girls perform well at meet

By Nevonne McDaniels Staff writer Chelan County Fair commitments left just four of Cashmere’s cross-country varsity girls to compete at the Ellens-

burg Invite Sept. 11, but it still proved to be a good opportunity for those who showed up to stretch their legs, said coach John Durheim.

“Kea Paton ran a good race,” Durheim said, coming in fourth with a time of 15:30. But she was followed closely by Sophomore Ashton Weddle.

“Ashton ran a great race.

Anytime you get close to Kea, you’re running a great race,” he said. Ashton came in ninth, with a time of 15:45.

And it was a good first race experience for Junior Umbee Cho, who came in 51st with a time of 18:05 and Sophomore Shaina Miller, who came in 67th with a time of 19:25.

“By next week, hopefully, we’ll have most of the girls back,” Durheim said. “This early in the season, it’s no big deal.”

The boys had enough team members to qualify for points, taking seventh at the invite with a score of 175 points.

“It was a good first race for the boys, too. We have a very young team, but our one senior, Roman Velazquez, came in seventh,” Durheim said, with a time of 12:34 for the 2.35-mile course. Two ninth graders, Drew Van Polen and Oliver Fernandez, Sophmores Dawson Taylor and Joe Mackey and Junior James Stolhammer finished in the top half of the field.

“The only teams to beat us were 2A, 3A and 4A teams.

I’m pleased with what the kids did,” Durheim said.

For next Saturday’s Highland Invite, the Apple Ridge Run Challenge in Cowiche, the varsity has to be split up in three different races, so that will create some changes to the line up, Durheim said.

And, he said, Stolhammer will not be running next week as he will be off on a family trip, so that might have an effect as well.

“Whatever happens happens.

We’re just going to get better,” he said.

Cashmere soccer remains undefeated Gonzalez, Blanchard score two each; McCall notches second shutout

By Nevonne McDaniels Staff writer The Cashmere Bulldogs, the four-year defending Caribou Trail League soccer champions, are picking up where they left off last year, winning the league opener 6-0 against Omak Sat-

urday.

Dani Moresman’s blast from 16 yards off an assist from Gaby Gonzalez opened the scoring against Omak in the 21st minute. Ten minutes later, Gonzalez scored from 10 yards out off a pass from Monique Blanchard.

At the opening of the second half, Blanchard scored the third goal of the game, unassisted, and she added another goal 2 minutes later off a Dani Moresman assist.

Gonzalez found the back of the net again in the 65th minute on a penalty kick.

The Bulldogs outshot the Pioneers 24-0, said Head Coach Dennis Tronson, and goalie Suzy

Volleyball team beats Omak, but drops match to Chelan

By Nevonne McDaniels Staff writer Cashmere Volleyball Coach Wendy Crossland took advantage of a jamboree and two non-league away games this past week to experiment with rotations and substitutions and provide a chance for her entire team to get some playing time together before the league games begin.

“The jamboree was a good chance to get some jitters out and to get playing,” Crossland said. “We had not had a game together until the jamboree, though some of the girls played at camp over the summer.”

The Bulldogs faced Ellensburg and Kittitas at the Sept. 7 Ellensburg Jamboree, and beat Kittitas two out of three and lost to Ellensburg.

“We missed a lot of serves and really picked up our energy and our approach for practice the next day which led into the game against Chelan,” Crossland said. “I believe the girls were much more aggressive against Chelan than they were at the Jamboree.”

At Chelan on Thursday, Crossland said she was pleased with the team’s performance even though they lost all three games to the defending Caribou League champions.

glad we got that chance so early in the season to play them.”

She said she was less concerned with the score than about the girls playing their best, getting comfortable as a team and playing aggressively and confidently.

“I want us to focus on playing up to our best level despite who we are playing and the scoreboard,” she said.

Crossland said the strategy going into the Omak game was “to figure out how to carry on the momentum, attitude and aggressiveness we had in games one and three against Chelan.”

She made some rotation changes after the jamboree, including moving Kaylee Caudill to middle hitter from outside hitter.

“I like the rotation changes we made and allowing our defense to form around our strongest passers,” she said. “We need to continue to reduce mistakes that give points away — missed serves, hits into the net, shank pass. But, more importantly, if Photo by Vince Lovato the girls give it all they have, I Roslyn Green of Cashmere goes up for the block in action against believe we will have a successful Chelan last week.

Chelan definitely makes “We did not play up to our poin games one and two. I liked the you play up and hard and so I am tential, but we were able to pull

of the win despite some tired and off moments,” she said. “We made some serving and hitting errors for periods of a couple of the games that hurt us, but got on a couple great serving runs that got us back in our game.”

Once again, Crossland said, it was a good game to work on the rotations and get more time on the court before league play starts.

The Bulldogs’ first league

Rachel Lippert aced her high school Spanish class project several years ago by writing and recording a song that told the story, in Spanish, of living life to the fullest.

On Sunday, she put the theory — and the song, “La Vida Musica” — to the test, performing it live as one of 12 finalists in the Icicle Prize in Songrwriting contest, part of the 2010 Icicle Music Festival in Leavenworth.

Lippert graduated from Cashmere High School last spring and accepted a basketball scholarship to Wenatchee Valley College this fall. She played high school varsity basketball for three years.

“I wasn’t sure what I was going to do until about two months before graduation,” she said. “I finally just went with my gut and decided to play at WVC.” At 6-foot, she said she expects to play post position.

And, it’s likely that she will also get into music at some point. She started singing when she was 3 and has been writing songs since she was in the fourth grade.

“It’s a way to express myself and say things I’m not always able to say directly,” she said.

She was involved in high school choir, including performing some of her own songs for Cashmere High School’s Pops Concert.

“I like to be original,” she said.

So, yes, music is likely to be part of her future.

“Maybe I’ll find a band in college,” she said. “Or study family and consumer science. That’s the backup plan. Or after basketball, take a break and become famous.”

In the meantime, she is keeping her options open, with the help of her family.

“My family is my support system. We support each other and encourage each other,” she

Rachel Lippert is keeping her options open. She was one of 12 finalists who performed in the Icicle Prize in Songwriting contest Sunday, singing a song she first wrote for a Spanish class final. The 2010 Cashmere High School grad also is attending Wenatchee Valley College on a basketball scholarship this fall.

She’s not sure how the music fits into the plans, but she is sure they’ll be there somewhere. mid-August and learned she was a finalist a couple weeks later, which meant she would have to perform the song live, with an accompanist.

That presented a problem, she said, because her uncle was booked up already.

“Sometimes it’s all about who you know,” she said. Through her uncle’s connections, she found Patrick Thompson, a former music professor who agreed to take on the task. They practiced a couple times and it went well, she said.

She also started researching the finalists to see where she fit in the crowd. She had heard of Michael Carlos and several of

the others.

Lippert said her song could be described as a Latin folk song, which isn’t too far from what the others were doing.

And she wasn’t nervous about performing, she said. In fact, she went to Sasquatch Festival at The Gorge this year for the first time and thought performing live on stage looked like fun.

Although she didn’t win one of the top prizes Sunday, Lippert seemed to follow her own advice.

Shortly after the performance was finished, she left for her first college basketball team retreat.

said.

And when her mom, Dawn Lippert, saw the call for local songwriters to enter the “working artists” category of the Icicle Prize in Songwriting in August, she encouraged her daughter to enter.

Rachel Lippert had already recorded the song in a studio, working with her uncle as part of her senior project last year in which she also expounded on her family’s musical background in a written report.

Her grandfather, dad, two uncles and an aunt have had a family band for years, playing polka music. Her uncle also plays piano and is “music savvy.” He plays country and jazz music, she said.

She figured since she already put in so much work on “La Vida Musica,” she could take it to the next level.

She submitted the recording in

Life & Health

Along the Wenatchee Along the Wenatchee Pat Morris The first years after Chelan County’s birth in 1899 were almost without road funds.

Although Leavenworth had produced the lion’s share of tax income for Okanogan County, and the towns south of the Wenatchee produced a good income for Kittitas County, state legislators had stipulated the new county assume large amounts of debt accrued during the depression years just behind them. It was a tremendous load for a new entity.

So, when residents asked for a new road, county officials told them the engineer would survey it for them, but there were no funds

for construction or upkeep.

The county’s streams and canyons, steep mountainsides and rock outcroppings made road construction expensive. Even with the acknowledgement that every settler ought to have a connection to a farm-to-market road, it was not always possible at first to bring it about.

Accustomed as they were to hard work and helping themselves, the Chelan County residents undertook the project without the county’s help.

Take, for instance, the settlers above Lake Wenatchee. As land was homesteaded along White River, a 7-mile road to the fork of that stream was desirable.

A donation sheet circulated on which each landowner signed his name and the number of days’ work he was willing to contribute. Ten days was the minimum by most.

D.W. Fowler, who operated a sawmill, offered lumber for bridges and culverts. The names

Zucchini, zucchini Someone said, “If you don’t have any zucchini, you either have no friends or you do not garden.” ooking This time of year gardens are with overflowing with this versatile vegetable, which botanically is a eri fruit. Zucchini probably originated in North America, and found Teri Miller its way to Italy by adventurers of the New World. Milan is believed to be the area where zucchini was first cultivated in Europe. This easy to grow plant later became popular throughout Europe and the Middle East, particularly Turkey and Egypt. In the United Kingdom, a survey taken last year, showed the Coquette (zucchini) as the 10th most popular vegetable. In France, “ratatouille” which is made with zucchini and eggplant is considered a national dish. In Rome, the blossom is deep fried into a dish called “Fiori de Zucca” and is considered a delicacy. Our neighbors in Mexico also batter and deep fry the blossoms. Here at home we make bread, cakes, relishes and just about anything we can with this prolific vegetable. So this week I am sharing a recipe for a very special zucchini bread, I think you will enjoy.

Pineapple Zucchini Bread 3 eggs 2 cups finely shredded zucchini 1 cup vegetable oil 1 can (8oz) crushed pineapple, drained 2 teaspoons vanilla 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons baking soda 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup chopped nuts 1 cup dried raisins or currants, optional In a bowl, combine the eggs, zucchini, oil, pineapple and vanilla.

Combine the dry ingredients; stir into egg mixture just until moistened. Fold in nuts and raisins if desired. Pour into two greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes clean. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Cool at least 10 minutes before removing from pans.

Makes 2 loaves.

“Minutes after you plant a single seed, hundreds of zucchini will barge out of the ground and sprawl around the garden, menancing the other vegetables.”

—Dave Barry, (1947- ), Pulitzer Prize winning journalist.

Early logging operations increased the need for good roads.

Auto trucks were of great help transporting supplies during World War I. on the list included Logan, Duncan, Nelson, Sears, Drum, Batchelor, Henry and Siverly.

M u c h l a t e r, s e t t l e r s o n Wenatchee Park land requested a road that did not go over the summit of Beaver Creek Hill. The county engineer laid out a road through a side canyon. The county was to blow the rock outcroppings, if the residents could do the rest.

These were one-lane, horse-and-

buggy roads, and so, far different from today’s.

When “Dude” Brown was elected commissioner in the 1920s, he stated, “I never knew there were so many such roads in it.”

It was scarcely easier to obtain a bridge in the early years.

Leavenworth merchants, in need of a river crossing to bring Blewett miners to town to shop, constructed their own in 1898. The bridge

Christina’s Culinary Adventures

By Christina Forchemer-Zucktriegel We had a big family dinner at our house the other night and I invited my nephew, Max, to join us. I had managed to produce a homemade nectarine and raspberry pie earlier in the day and I served it after dinner with fresh whipped cream. It seems that all of the adult cooks in our clan have a specialty and when it comes to desserts, mine is pie, especially the fruit variety. Since there were so many of us, Max decided to bring extra dessert, just in case there wasn’t enough. After short deliberation he bought three huge slices from the Big Y Cafe in Peshastin. He had stopped there for breakfast with friends and loved it. He mentioned that he had met the owners, Jim and Betty Bristow, and found them very engaging and hospitable. It’s hard to compete with Helen Rayfield’s many years of superb hospitality at the Big Y but the Bristow’s have pulled it off, serving up dependable and good-quality dinerstyle fare with hometown friendliness which our locals expect.

Max noticed the above-counter cool case loaded with fresh homemade pies and couldn’t resist. He bought a slice of blueberrycream cheese, fresh strawberry and peaches and cream. That evening, after dinner, we passed around the Big Y pie slices first so everybody could try a bite. The fresh strawberry was Max’s favorite and the blueberry-cream cheese was Stefan’s, hands down. Some of us couldn’t make up our mind which one was the best. They were all so delicious, fresh and flavorful. I have to say the peaches and cream was by far my favorite. The crumbly crust, tapioca- thickened layers of sweet peaches and thick, creamy layer of sour cream topping was an incredible combination! The fresh fruit is perfectly foiled by a wonderful blanket of rich creamy goodness. I am sorry, but I can’t say enough about the wonderful Big Y’s pies. One can often be easily disappointed by restaurant pies, but at the Big Y Cafe this is clearly not the case.

I enjoy conversing and catching up with other folks in the restaurant business. It’s fun to exchange stories and share opinions, new ideas, etc.. There definitely is never a dull moment in this field and the scene is always new and exciting. Jim Bristow and I caught up while watching our youngest sons’ football jamboree on Saturday and he informed me the Big Y Cafe has extended their hours on Friday nights after the home football games. What a great idea! If the spectators didn’t get enough hot dogs and snacks while watching the game they can get a wonderful hot meal afterwards just down the road. The football players have a great local hangout for fifth quarter after the home games too.

Next time you’ve got a craving for a juicy burger, homemade soup, delicious chicken......followed by world-class pie (am I making you hungry yet?) or a hearty breakfast made to order, stop by the Big Y Cafe in Peshastin. It’s only a five minute ride from downtown Leavenworth and yes, they have ample parking.

consisted of cribbing in which rocks were dumped to support the structure that was made of timbers laid across them. Peshastin’s first bridge was of this sort also. Timber and rocks were available. The only other ingredient necessary was “sweat.”

Often these structures were short-lived, thanks to the snowmelt water roaring down in spring.

Leavenworth’s bridge washed out in 1906, as did others downriver.

By then, steel bridges were in place, which could be moved to other places when a concrete bridge was built. For a good many years, a steel bridge did yeoman’s service over Chumstick Creek on North Road.

L e ave nwo r t h o n c e h a d a steel bridge leading to the East Leavenworth Road farms. It was no longer needed when South Road was built to Peshastin, connecting to the new road at Leavenworth built on the abandoned railroad right-of-way, which is now part of Highway 2.

The concrete bridge erected then is still in use, though widened.

Once the debt owed by the county was paid off, the needs of

the growing population for bridges were attended to more readily. By 1914, the Wenatchee River had a total of 11 bridges, connecting farms and orchards to warehouses and railroads.

For many years, there was no route to Snoqualmie, the sole Cascade crossing. When a major exposition encouraged tourists to come West by auto, they crossed the Columbia at Wenatchee and then were directed to the Blewett route. Traffic, such as we experience, was unknown. And it was not an all-weather route, but that became an issue as sawmills put in box-making factories to keep ahead of the fall demand for fruit boxes.

When the Wright Mill ordered lumber and hauled it on auto-trucks to their mill, the first commercial activity began over Blewett Pass.

Roads, once the expense of county taxpayers, were later aided by state funds and finally federal funds with the forestry paying for highways across their lands as they were a necessity during fire season. With year-round maintenance, the tourist picture was greatly changed.

Age should be small part of health decisions

By Dr. David Lipschitz ©2010 Creators Syndicate Inc. At 67, I have never felt better.

I work as hard as ever with a new and exciting job, and life continues to evolve. Two years past the “retirement age,” I feel nowhere near my prime. Unfortunately, the arbitrary cutoff age that defines 65 as elderly causes many of us problems. Although it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of age, it is more difficult for an older person to find employment, and the 65th birthday is often used as an arbitrary line indicating a person is too old to undertake certain activities or be eligible for certain medical procedures. The reality of age bias in medicine can have devastating consequences for healthy but older patients.

Recently, I met an outstanding new patient. Truly fit, happy and beautiful, she was my contemporary -- a 1943 baby.

Unfortunately, this patient had developed a life-threatening illness called interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, a disease in which the lung converts to scar tissue. The condition is untreatable, leads to increasing shortness of breath and eventual dependency on oxygen to breathe.

She had been evaluated at one of the finest health care centers in America and was told that her treatment options were limited.

Although a lung transplant could improve and even save her life, she was ineligible for the operation because she was over the age of 65.

This is the worst form of age bias, which is defined as having a negative stereotype or discriminating against someone on the basis of age. Medically, age should never be the sole factor when deciding whether a patient should be considered for an aggressive procedure. More important than chronological age, the patient’s biological age and his or her ability to respond to a major stress should be the

major determinate in a physician’s assessment.

Someone who has no medical problems, is physically fit and has normal cerebrovascular, cardiac, pulmonary, renal and liver function can handle virtually any major procedure. Just recently, one of my favorite patients, an active man well into his 90s, was in a car wreck. Despite having a broken neck and some neurological problems, he handled surgery with flying colors and was up and walking just a few days later. His rate of recovery has been slower than it would have been were he in his 50s, but recovery has been well within grasp.

This beautiful woman with lung problems has a highly productive life expectancy of 20 years or longer. She should be an ideal candidate for surgery, but performing the procedure on another person with the same condition who is overweight, has diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and chronic renal disease would probably not be appropriate. In other words, age is not important; the presence of other illnesses, known as comorbid conditions, are most relevant.

More than some fad catch phrase, 60 truly is the new 40!

It is time to change our view about aging. Baby boomers will soon reach age 65 and must be treated equally to those decades younger. But we must also ask, why retire, why no longer learn, why no longer contribute and why not run for public office?

In the field of medicine, age is merely one factor in a long list of health considerations. Even those in their 80s and beyond must be treated aggressively if warranted and appropriate.

Medicine is an art and a science -- in some cases, the reasons to treat the “elderly” with certain procedures may change.

Remember, age is only a number. Your health depends not on how many years you lived, but instead how well you lived them.

exciting in the Wenatchee area.

Heavy rain greeted anglers on the Wenatchee River, and not only that the river was very muddy from Cashmere on down to the mouth. I heard that only 30 anglers were checked on the Wenatchee and they had taken on five wild fish and one hatchery steelhead. Much better weather is in the forecast now, and I will be interested learning how anglers did over the weekend. One thing is for sure; the success rate will pick up as more fish enter the Wenatchee and other rivers on the upper Columbia. If you want to have the best chance at success, you’ll want to attend the seminar at Town Ford on Wednesday, Sept. 22, beginning at 6 p.m. Shane Magnuson will be there talking about his proven bobber and jig techniques, and we are lucky to get another great speaker at the seminar. Brian Nielson of BJs Guide Service.

He has been featured on Fishing the West, Columbia Country and American Fisherman. He has also been featured in many newspaper and magazine articles and has been on the Pro Staff with Hyde Drift Boat for eight years.

Nielson will describe his proven techniques for pulling plugs. It’s going to be great, I hope to see

you there.

Wednesday, Sept. 15 I’m sot sure if I shared with everyone my experience on the San Poil and Kettle rivers. My wife and I like to get up to the Republic area and fish these two streams in the fall. The San Poil flows south from Republic and enters the Colville Indian Reservation, and eventually flows in to the Lake Roosevelt at the San Poil Arm. It is a small stream and loaded with rainbow. My wife finally got a chance to put down the video camera and do some fly-fishing, and she had a blast. She caught and released over 30 small rainbow during out day on the San Poil. The Kettle River is a much larger stream and has larger fish. I have caught both rainbow and browns on the Kettle. On this last trip I caught only rainbow and up to 14 inches, but what keeps me coming back is that I have hooked and lost or been broken off by much larger fish. I am also looking forward to a float on the Yakima River to fly fish for rainbow with one of guys from the Yakima River fly shop in Cle Elum. I am hoping that all of this practice will help me catch a steelhead on a fly this fall and winter.

Breaking news for all anglers...

The Wenatchee & Methow rivers are open for steelhead!

This is the biggest and earliest opener in 30 years with a four-fish limit. Selective gear is needed. You will need knotless nets. Bait is allowed in the Columbia, but not in the Wenatchee or Methow.
