City beefs up Oktoberfest foot patrols Fourth deputy added

By Nevonne McDaniels Staff writer The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office and Phoenix Protection Corp. are increasing foot patrols during Oktoberfest this year.

An additional deputy will be added to make a total of four deputies on foot patrol, each accompanied by a member of Phoenix Protection Corp., the company hired by Projekt Bayern to handle security.

“Phoenix people will be there to clip bracelets and the deputy will be there if enforcement is needed,” Mayor Rob Eaton told the Leavenworth City Council at the Sept. 14 study session.

The council was being asked to approve the expenditure for the downtown city patrols, an estimated $4,500.

Th e s e c u r i ty i n s i d e t h e Festhalle and Oktoberfest beer tents and within the beer garden fence is paid for by Projekt Bayern, the group that organizes the event.

Eaton said the additional patrols were recommended by the Sheriff’s Office because the event is expanding its capacity this year, adding another tent to the venue.

The deputies are hired for seven-hour shifts Friday and Saturday nights.

In other city news: • The Port of Chelan County Commissioners will tour Leavenworth-area facilities at 9 a.m. Sept.

Noise request considered

By Nevonne McDaniels Staff writer Leavenworth city staff is working on the details of a special use permit that would allow Der Hinterhof to play live music outdoors until 11 p.m. on the three Saturdays during Oktoberfest.

Der Hinterhof owner Steve Demarest requested the 1-hour extension of his current written agreement with the city to end outdoor music at 10 p.m.

Two positions up for Nov. 1 vote

By Nevonne McDaniels Staff writer

The Peshastin Community Council, the seven-member advisory group to Chelan County government and organizer of local activities and events, has two positions up for election Nov. 1.

Nominations for Positions 1 and 2, currently held by Kathy Springer and June Bergren, are due Oct. 4. Candidates must be at least 18 years old and live in the Peshastin area. The election is set for 7 p.m. Nov. 1 at the Peshastin Legion Hall, at the group’s regularly scheduled monthly meeting.

Other councilmembers are Chairman Steve Keene, Vice Chairman Doug Clarke, Brian Burnett, Tricia Ortiz and Cheryl Parsley. Bergren has been serving as treasurer and Springer as secretary.

The election is, in part, due to revised bylaws approved by the council earlier this year, which called for changing how councilmembers are elected and staggering the number of terms up for election each year. The bylaws call for are two-year election rotation, so not all the positions are open at once.

Springer said two positions are up for election this year, two more in November 2012 and three in 2014. All of the terms are for six years and all positions are

difference in the world,” Cenci said.

Three state Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers, along with a biologist and a Karelian bear dog named Cash responded to the call between 8 and 9 p.m.

By the time the wildlife officers arrived, the victim had been transported to the hospital and eventually was

considered at-large, which means candidates can come from anywhere within the designated Peshastin area.

Keene said Bergren and Springer, whose terms are up for election this year, likely will run again, “but we are looking for other people to run as well,” he said. Votes will be cast by Peshastin community members attending the Nov. 1 meeting.

“The council has been around for years,” Keene said. “We don’t have a budget. We’re not a taxing authority. We operate on donations. To keep costs down, we publicize our activities through the media and on our website,” Keene said.

He serves as webmaster.

“The people come to us to cast their votes. For the people in Peshastin, we are their voice.”

The volunteer group’s biggest projects lately have been working the Chelan County Commission on developing the Peshastin Urban Growth Area.

“That’s probably the biggest thing we’ve done. It was completed in 2008.

And it’s an ongoing issue, with zoning in the area and sewer and utilities,” he said.

The council also has played a role in getting the Port of Chelan to allow public access at the Peshastin Mill site.

“We really serve as a go-between between the public and county government,” Keene said. “We take community

New Amberleaf production City sales tax plays on Leavenworth Echo means visitors pay for roads

Find a way to make the tourists pay.

That’s part of the strategy behind asking Leavenworth residents to approve a 0.2-percent sales tax increase this November.

The tax would not apply to groceries or prescriptions. But it would apply to most items sold in Leavenworth’s shops, so visitors would be paying the majority of the tax, said Leavenworth City Councilwoman Cheri Farivar.

“The whole idea is to spread out the costs,” she said.

The money collected over the next 20 years would then be used to pay for street improvements and transportation projects that the city cannot currently include in its tight budget.

The Leavenworth City Council approved the resolution to form a Transportation Benefit District on July 13.

The district’s board, made up of the city council and mayor, held its first meeting July 29 to create bylaws and a finance plan.

By state law, the new district has the authority to ask voters to approve a sales tax, with the money generated to be used for transportation projects. That request will be on the Nov. 2 general election ballot. The district also can implement a vehicle licensing fee, impact fees and

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

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 watching. 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?

Recently a beautiful female bear was murdered for no reason and now she is gone and her two cubs will probably be euthanized. This should be a crime.

number. While I would have to look extensively into methodology and original sources to establish the validity of the numbers, I am clear that adding a presumably valid count to another presumably valid count of the same does not create a doubly-valid count: it creates a misrepresentation.

When a source is so easily taken to task, its reliability is clouded and everything it presents becomes suspect. The motivation of those who put together such statements must be questioned.

In the early days of America, often Christianity was not only a religion but a government.

Only professing members of the church were enfranchised (the governance of the Massachusetts colonies are examples of this), and members of some religions were excluded from the communities altogether. For many years, many colonies/states had state churches, to which all residents paid taxes no matter what their personal beliefs. Where did this lead? To events like the Salem witch trials, which all agree now were a phenomenon of mass hysteria from some buried-in-history-orpsychology cause. Not to mention the moral violation practiced on one’s fellow citizens by forcing contribution to a religion which they did not support. Such are the sources of violence.

Recognizing that religion was one absolute over which people would fight and fracture a community, one of the wisdoms of our Founders was to separate church from state, and to guarantee all religions freedom to practice, and to remove religious tests from political practices (Constitution, Article VI, para 3: “. . . no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”

Later, but added quickly after the Constitution was ratified, this further, clearer statement: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . .” which was later extended to apply also to the states).

In different times and places, religions have been and can be foundations of governments. This applies to Christianity and it applies to Islam, as to others. I can certainly agree with Ms. Vinje that people should not be killed for their religion, and should be able to practice their religions freely.

I hope Ms. Vinje agrees with me that the things that distinguish our country from others are the values expressed in the U.S. Constitution, including freedom of religion and separation of church and state. That freedom and that separation apply to all. Failing to follow it is to fail our country.

While Americans are of different colors, ethnicities, religions and dates of immigration, I believe this says it best: “We may have come on different ships, but we are all on the same ship now.” Let us treat one another with respect and kindness. Peace be unto us all.

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

The Leavenworth Echo • September 22, 2010

Islam not a religion The time has come to question if Islam is protected under our first amendment right to freedom of religion. Islam is not a religion.

Religious faith is only a part of Islam. The majority of it is a socially engineered society with it’s own military, customs and laws that seriously conflict with American laws. Islam has the Qur’an that provides the governing charter, with laws, punishment and a guide for social behavior for its people in addition to religious teachings.

It is important to understand that religion is only one aspect of Islam’s’ Qur’an. The rest of the Qur’ans’ charter advances ideas, social behavior and laws that are in direct conflict with American and western values and laws.

Muslims swear loyalty only to Islam and their governing laws in the Qur’an.

What legitimate religion would demand that it’s members either kill or convert members of other faiths? What legitimate religion is intent on imposing it’s own laws on the rest of the world by force if necessary? If Islam were only about praying to Allah and worshiping Mohammed we would not be having a problem with it.

Islam has a charter global mission to take over and run the world by force if necessary. How can we call that a religion?

What legitimate religion has it’s own civil and criminal laws and punishments that take precedence over national, state and local laws?

No, Islam is not a religion it is a governmental system with it’s own laws penalties and punishments determined not by God but by men.

As Muslims infiltrate and build their mega mosques in America financed by Saudi Arabia they laugh at the stupid Americans who are selling out their sovereignty a little bit at a time. It is the same method used over decades by Marxist progressives who now control our government, judiciary, media and Academia.

Islamists know they cannot destroy us militarily but can do it with political correctness by insisting that we respect their phony religion even though they have no respect for ours. We are extending a welcome to the enemy of our culture and freedom under a false pretense of freedom of religion.

Are we out of our minds? Has anyone noticed that we are at war with these barbarians? The terrorists feed on the same rulebook as other Muslims that so far have remained peaceful due to lack of strength in numbers. Will they be making the same decisions as Barack Hussien Obama made when he wrote in “Dreams of My Father,” “When the political winds turn ugly I will side with the Muslims” Too bad this president is not a real American.

You Muslim apologists need to read and understand the Qur’an , especially about abrogation. Mohammed wrote the Qur’an while in Mecca. The early verses were about peace and getting along with others because he was weak

with few followers at the time.

This is where the false premise of Islam being a religion of peace comes from. When he moved to Medina he gained many followers and military strength and he then wrote the violent later verses of the Qur’an supporting jihad, Sharia law and converting or killing infidels. Abrogation means that the later verses take precedence over the early verses.

What are we going to do when Muslims gain strength in numbers and demand that America respect and enforce Shariah law as they are already doing in Europe? You people that are ignorant about what Islam really is have the audacity to call those of us who know the truth about Islam “Islamaphobes”. Yes I am afraid of what Islam has in store for America and you should be too. Read the Qur’an and educate yourself before you criticize those of us who have already done so. The truth will set you free.

Bill Cowles Peshastin, Wash.

Valenti wrong 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.

Judy Sternberg Leavenworth, Wash.

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 God-knows-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. (Incidental-

ly, the split in Islam between Shia and Sunni came about because the Shia believed that only descendents of Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law 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.”

God bless America, John F. Connot Everett, Wash.

Slower speed limit set on Chumstick

School days at Salmon Fest

By Nevonne McDaniels Staff writer The speed limit on Chumstick Highway approaching North Road was reduced from 50 to 35 mph in early September.

The move was approved by Chelan County Commissioners on Aug. 31 at the request of the city of Leavenworth because of plans for a multi-purpose bicycle and pedestrian trail along Chumstick Highway which will connect to North Road, Fox Road and the Amtrak station with the city of Leavenworth, the high school and middle school.

The city received a $200,000 grant from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Bicycle Pedestrian Grant program to pay for the project, said Connie Krueger, Leavenworth’s director of community development.

“This trail will service the city’s urban growth area and the new housing development area to be located to the north and will serve as a primary route for schoolchildren who live in the TitusChumstick Valley to access Icicle River Middle School and Cascade High School,” she said.

The trail also serves as a multipurpose trail for other users.

Law enforcement agencies converged near Nason Creek recently to bust a marijuana grow. Some 2,550 plants were removed by the Cannabis Eradication Response Team, which helps local law enforcement. Pipe, fertilizer and garbage were also removed from the scene. No arrests were made.

As part of the project, the city is working with the county to create a crossing which will lead to County Shop Road and then onto North Road, connecting those areas with the city of Leavenworth.

When the county built the North Road bridge, the city requested the area under the trestle be widened to accommodate bicycles and pedestrians and requested the county design the bridge so a sidewalk could be cantilevered from the side, Krueger said.

The county expanded its project budget to accommodate the changes.

Further improvements to North Road will be needed to realize that component of the project, she said.

Regarding the speed limit reduction, the proposed crossing area is located where vehicles were transitioning from higher to lower speeds. With the close proximity to the schools and the propensity of cars to speed, she said, the city and county felt it was important to lower the speed limit to create a safer environment.

Work on the trail project is expected to start next spring or summer.

TAX: Voters must approve sales tax increase Continued from Page 1

tolls on roads.

The other options are not currently being considered, though, Farivar said. Cities without the broad sales tax base that comes from tourism have opted to raise money through vehicle licensing fees, she said. But since Leavenworth has the tourism base, the amount of money that would be raised by the visitors makes the tax easier to swallow for locals. “ We ’ r e p r e tty c o n f i d e n t that most of the citizens of Leavenworth will see the overall benefit,” Farivar said. “It’s a nobrainer, really. We just have to figure out how to get the word out.”

If the sales tax is not approved by voters, the district could resort to the other funding sources.

The city of Leavenworth’s retail sales tax revenue last year was $97 million, according to the state Department of Revenue.

That would raise approximately $200,000 a year with the new tax.

The current 8.1-percent sales tax is the state-combined tax.

The local rate is 1.6 percent, so adding 0.2 percent would be a 12.5-percent increase.

City Administrator Joel Walinski said the district board identified a list of 10 projects that might be funded by the new tax including Pine Street from Ski Hill Drive to Fir Street; Ski Hill Drive, from Highway 2 to Pine Street, as well as some residential street and sidewalk restorations, parking lot improvements and Commercial

Street reconstruction. The list has not yet been prioritized.

Most of the projects are on the city’s six-year transportation improvement plan, said Community Development Director Connie Krueger.

If voters approve the sales tax, the district could borrow money based on the revenue stream generated. That would speed up the timeline for completing the projects. But even then, not all would be done right away.

“I believe it will take about a

What is a Transportation Benefit District?

According to a pamphlet put together by the Association of Washington Cities, a Transportation Benefit District is a quasimunicipal corporation and independent taxing district created to acquire, construct, improve, provide and fund transportation improvements within the district.

RCW 36.73 was approved in 1987 and updated in 2005 and 2007.

Funding for the district can come from a variety of sources, including up to 0.2-percent sales and use tax, which is what Leavenworth’s TBD board is proposing. Other options include vehicle fees and vehicle tolls.

year to implement the plan before the dollars start being collected,” Walinski said.

As it stands, the Transportation Benefit District has no money for administrative or public education functions including the production of a newsletter informing voters of the referendum, or to pay for placing the referendum on the ballot.

City staff is currently researching the rules regarding using or borrowing city funds to pay those necessary costs, Farivar said.

The current plan, if it is allowed, is to borrow money from the city to put the item on the general election ballot and to put together an informational newsletter and send it to Leavenworth residents explaining the formation of the Transportation Benefit District, the proposal to increase the sales tax and explain how the money would be used. The newsletter would go out in early October.

Councilman Michael Mollahan said. “It’s a big festival. I’m inclined to allow it for anyone who wants to do it.”

But that, said City Attorney Terry McCauley, could create problems, since ignoring the current ordinance would set a precedent.

Instead, McCauley suggested it would be appropriate to look at a special use permit. That would allow specific conditions to be imposed, such as setting a decibel level during that last hour or requiring Demarest to turn off the street speakers currently used to attract attention of passersby.

The council agreed to table a decision on Demarest’s request until the Sept. 28 meeting to allow the staff time to work on the details of a special use permit.

Demarest’s request follows several months of controversy over a vetoed city noise ordinance that had been written in response to complaints about the noise level coming from Der Hinterhof. Some of the complaints came from people living across the river incuding Bill and Kathy Lynn, who own a bed and breakfast. They said the noise annoyed their guests and hurt their business.

After the ordinance was vetoed, the city proposed researching decibel levels and using that information to develop a new noise ordinance.

Since then, the city purchased a decibel meter, which arrived last week.

Mayor Rob Eaton said the readings have not yet been taken.

CUBS: Shipped off to shelter

Landscaping at Cornerstone

Continued from Page 1

Photo by Ian Dunn

Last Thursday, under threat of rain, some 40 people assembled for the first community planting of the Cornerstone Community Home Landscape Project. Close to 1,000 native plants, shrubs and trees were planted. Landscape architect Marv Speer donated his services to create a landscape plan that is green, sustainable, low-maintenance and native. Cornerstone, which is 99 percent complete, will house up to six adults with developmental disabilities.

give them some penicillin shots as a precaution,” Beausoleil said.

They got their ear tags and were set to be shipped to the shelter last Wednesday.

The cubs will winter there and be released back into the wild next year.

In the meantime, the investigation of the shooting incident continues.

The mother bear was shot by a homeowner, who was concerned about his dog. At the time, he didn’t realize it was a mother bear with cubs.

And bears are continuing their quest for food before winter sets in. Several others have been

taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

“It’s my understanding that he has severe injuries, but is in stable condition,” Cenci said Monday morning.

The officers and Cash found the bear within 100 yards of the vacation home where the attack occurred.

“The dog pursued the bear across Highway 207 and kept the bear distracted while Officer Snyder was able to get close enough to put it down. They made every effort to preserve the forensics and DNA evidence, but we are certain this is the offending bear.”

The female bear was 8 or 9 years old and weighed 148 pounds and had worn teeth, missing a canine tooth.

“She had some fat reserves, but not the amount you would

anticipate at this time of year,” he said.

Bears store fat in their rumps, he said.

“She didn’t have the junk in her trunk where she should,” he said.

“You could feel her hip bones.”

Cenci said there is no indication that the victims’ dogs or the victims “did anything to bring this on. We may never know what perpetuated this attack. We can

make an educated guess, but only the bear really knows that.”

This particular bear had not been causing problems elsewhere, as far as anyone had reported.

Cenci said the bear had no tags.

“There is no evidence that we had ever handled this particular bear,” he said.

A necropsy will be performed to look for any indication that would explain the bear’s behav-

What to do in a bear attack Deputy Chief Mike Cenci of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife said bear attacks are rare, but should it happen, • Don’t run and turn yourself into prey.

• Pick up small children.

•Wave your hands and make yourself as big as you can. “That’s what the victim’s wife did. Raise all kiinds of noise,” Cenci said.

• Don’t approach the animal. Leave it an escape route.

• Try to get upwind, so it can identify you as a human.

• If the animal does attack, fight back aggressively. “That may be be enough to stop the attack.”

ior, he said.

“It was not a well-fed bear.

Whether something in the lab tests will tell us anything further remains to be seen. Given its condition, it was not at the top of its game.”

Cenci said the bear behaved strangely when WDFW officers were tracking it.

“They found it 100 yards from the incident and the dog was unable to tree the bear. Often they will go up a tree, but it was intent on escaping. That is not normal behavior,” he said.

Cenci said Cash, the Karelian bear dog, kept the bear in one place long enough for Jason Snyder to manage a running shot.

“Bear attacks on humans are rare in the state,” Cenci said. A bicyclist was attacked in Kitsap county three years ago. Prior to that, the records show only three other attacks and one fatality.

sighted.

Beausoleil said he set a trap for a rusty-colored bear that was attracted by the barbecue grills at the Leavenworth condos. The traps are set for bears who tend to stick around rather than take what they can and move along.

“This one was a candidate for relocation,” he said.

But the best way to keep them from sticking around is to put away the big three, he said.

“Garbage, birdseed and petfood,” he said.

And maybe barbecues, too.

“There’s certainly not much reward there, but they do smell good,” he said.

Obituaries Harris A. Watson Harris A. Watson, picked to be another flower in the Masters bouquet. Born to Frank and Alice (Rayfield) Watson around the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee came to Leavenworth as a young boy where he attended school.

He spent most of his life in the Northwest working construction and at the Peshastin Lumber Mill. He was a Harley-Davidson man, having bought his first one of many at the age of 17. Due to insulin dependant diabetes, he gave up Harleys for a short while and got into muscle cars. His specialty, Oldsmobile 442s and the last one, a Hurst Olds which he and his long time companion, Norma drove to Indianapolis and drove it on the famous Brickyard 500 Speedway. Harris got back into Harleys for the past 16 years and he and Norma rode to Sturgis several times and finally sell-

ing out and having their Harley trucked back to Yuma. At that time they took up RVing and settled in Yuma where they loved the Southwest with its Sunshine and Deserts.

A man of silent strength, he has battled diabetes for over 35 years, six cancers in the last five years and never complained. He was brought back to Leavenworth to be with his brother and wonderful cousins.

Harris is survived by his longtime companion, Norma Deeter of Leavenworth; three sons, Doug (Nancy) Watson of Leavenworth, Keith Watson of Seattle and Kevin (Sue) and their two daughters, Karly and Rachel of Everett: one brother, Dan (Char) Watson of Leavenworth; Norma’s three children, Geri Hampton of Wenatchee, Marty Deeter and Marla LaPlante and her two

daughters, Ashley and Tyler all of Stanwood. He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Alice.

A graveside service of commemoration for family and close friends to celebrate the life of Harris A. Watson was held on Sept. 20, 2010 at the Mt. View Cemetery in Leavenworth with Rev. Roger Hudson officiating.

Richard S. “Dick” Darlington, 84, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, Sept, 18, 2010 at the Cashmere Convalescent Center.

Dick was born in Cashmere on Nov. 23, 1915, to Alfred and Myrtle Sparks Darlington. Dick attended School in Peshastin for 11 years. On April 3, 1937, he married Florence Mounter in Rice, Wash. Dick and Florence made their first home in Peshastin, then in 1941, they moved to Leavenworth until 1969 when they moved to White Pine off of the Stevens Pass Highway. In 1983, they moved back to Cashmere, and in 2003, they again moved to the Stevens Pass area.

Dick was raised in the family orchard and also worked on the bridge over the Wenatchee River east of Leavenworth in 1935. In the late 1930s he started working in the woods in road construction for Peshastin Lumber and Box Company and in the 1940s was a mechanic for the company and in the 1950s moved into management for the sawmill, retiring in 1978. After his retirement, Dick maintained and raised 90 fruit trees, hauling the produce to Spokane. His most enjoyable entertainment was riding his Harley Davidson Motorcycle.

Dick is survived by his four children, Carla (Hank) Radach, Cary (Carla) Darlington, Mary (Clay) Steele, and Randall (Barb) Darlington, sister; Shirley McArthur; Grandchildren, Tom Radach,

Kodiaks must settle for 14-14 tie at Cheney

By Ian Dunn Editor Unlike soccer and hockey, football games usually do not end in ties. Although, it does happen occasionally after all the overtime remedies have been exhausted.

The Cascade game at Cheney ended in regulation tied at 14-14, and everybody involved, the players, the fans, the coaches, all wanted to play overtime and finish it.

Everyone, that is, except the officials.

“We thought we were headed to overtime, but the officials told us there was no overtime for a non-league game,” said Cascade Head Coach Elia Ala’ilima-Daley.

“It was an interesting happening.

Fans were yelling for the two teams to play. But the officials left, and I wasn’t going to let the boys play without officials.”

Daley said in all his years of coaching and playing football, he had not seen it. The two schools even offered to pay the officials for an additional game, but they would not budge, saying it would go against the officials agreement.

In the end, Cascade was left with a three hour bus ride home and a bad taste in their mouths.

“We really didn’t know how to react,” he said.

The game against 2A Cheney began very much in the home team’s favor. After Cascade went three and out to start the game, the Blackhawks came out and scored on four plays to take a 7-0.

“We haven’t been punched in the mouth like that,” he said. “I was worried how the kids would bounce back. They were just dominating us. We huddled up and went from there.”

It seemed the talk worked. Basically, for the rest of the game, Cascade dominated.

“It was just a matter of settling down,” he said. “We have some talented athletes too. I was proud of how the boys played.”

In the second quarter, Cascade mounted a seven play, 38 yard drive for a touchdown. Quarterback Dan Betz, on an option rollout, hit tight end Geoffry Linn from 10 yards out for the score.

The first half ended, Cascade 7, Cheney 7.

Midway through the third quarter, Cascade mounted a 10 play, 80 yard scoring drive, highlighted by nice run by Nick Wood and a great over the shoulder catch by Ethan Nash. Betz scored on the

As is tradition, the Cascade football players line up after their practice to cheer on the Kodiak soccer players in the adjacent field. Typically, the senior captains will lead the team in a special cheer for the girls same option play, running it in this time.

Cascade held their 14-7 lead until late in the fourth quarter.

The Blackhawks went off on a 5 play, 74 yard scoring drive to tie the game at 14-14.

At the end, the Kodiaks drove

down for the winning score, but Frankie Vasquez’s 32 yard field goal fell just short.

Cascade was playing without two offensive line starters, center Mitch Kraus and tackle Neil Champagne. But Derek Darlington and Ben Smithson subbed in

and did not miss a beat.

“It really speaks volumes about what the coaches are doing to get the kids ready,” he said. “It is real positive what is happening on the offensive line.”

Daley also had high praise for his defense, especially cornerback

Elijah Nash. Time and again, the Blackhawks went at him with a 6-foot-6 receiver, but 5-foot-10 Nash was up for the challenge, knocking away three passes and sending the taller player to the sideline.

Cam Williams led the way with 54 yards rushing on 18 carries.

Betz was 4-for-10 passing for 59 yards passing and one TD. Linn had two catches for 21 yards and a TD. Cheney was held to 40 rushing, but did throw for 133 yards.

Next week, Cascade has a bye.

Daley said they had a chance to play a Canadian team, but decided to take a break instead.

In two weeks, Cascade (2-0-1) will play their league opener at home against Omak, which was a surprise winner over Okanogan last Friday.

“They have some good athletes.

They were pretty effective against Okanogan,” he said. “We are going to get ready for our league run.”

Daley said they plan to use the two weeks to correct some mistakes and prepare for the Pioneers.

Cascade goes 0-3 for the week against tough competition

By Ian Dunn Editor Cascade began the week on Sept. 14 with a tough four set loss to archival Chelan at Leavenworth.

After that, the girls played at 4A Wenatchee, losing a five set heartbreaker. Finally, last Saturday, Cascade played at 2A Selah, the defending state champions. It was another tough five set loss.

Cascade Head Coach Marni McMahon wanted her squad to play against the tough competition to sharpen them up for another postseason run.

“Right now, we are not worried about our record,” she said.

“We just want to go to State and bring back a trophy. We’re playing tough teams, but we need to learn to put them away in the fourth set.”

Against Chelan, the Kodiaks were flying high after the big win in the Sundome Tournament.

In the first game, behind some strong serving by Tori Smith, Cascade took control midway through going on a 6-0 run to take a 23-16 lead. The Kodiaks held on for 25-19 win.

The second game was very much a back and forth affair, but Chelan made a late 4-0 run to seal it, winning 25-19. The third game saw Chelan jump out to the early lead and then hang on for a convincing 25-14 win. In the final game, with the game tied at 9-9, Chelan went on an 8-0 run to take control, winning the final game 25-14.

“I definitely think they played a more consistent game. We made way too many errors. That’s not like us. That’s what’s most disappointing,” she said. “We just came off a tournament where we played error free and consistent.”

On the flip side, Chelan played a nearly flawless game, committing just seven errors over the final two games.

“The first set we had 10 kills and only five errors,” she said. “That ratio is really good and that’s where you want stay. Then, in the second, third and fourth sets, we had more errors in comparison to our kills. That’s where we had issues. We weren’t siding out. You can’t win ball games that way.”

Chelan star Jaicee Harris had her fair share of kills in the game,

but McMahon said that was not the main factor.

“She is going to get her kills. It’s only about us and us not doing our job,” she said. “They didn’t do anything they don’t normally do, or anything we weren’t prepared for.

We just made too many errors.”

McMahon did credit the Goats for blocking well. Cascade had little time to regroup, playing Wenatchee two days later.

Cascade won the first set 25-10, but lost a close one in the second, 24-26. In the third game, Cascade won 25-21, but then failed to close out in the fourth, losing 17-25. In final set, the Kodiaks lost 11-15.

“I feel like we should have won it. Wenatchee played lights out.

The best game they ever played,” she said. “We played some good ball. They we excited to beat us.

I wasn’t disappointed in the girls play. We just didn’t follow through in crunch time.”

Morgan Anderson had a great match, going 11-for-12 serving with eight digs. Arielle Turner led with 18 kills. Jordy McGregor had 19 assists, and was 12-for-14 serving.

“Wenatchee should do well in

the 4A,” she said. “We shot ourselves in the foot in that fifth set.

It was really good volleyball.”

Against Selah, Cascade again jumped out in front, winning the first set 25-20. But Selah came back and won the second 23-25.

The Kodiaks won a close third set, 27-25. But just like against Wenatchee, Cascade lost the pivotal fourth game 12-25, and then were beaten 10-15 in the fifth set.

“It was a great, great volleyball match. Selah is defending state champions,” she said. “We fought really great, but we need to learn to do things right in the end.”

The Kodiaks have shown they can play with the tough teams, but for some reason, cannot put them away.

“That is what we are talking about as a team, putting them away when you’re up 2-1,” she said. “We need to work on that in practice. We have to focus on that. Need to put them in pressure situations in practice. If we can do that in practice, we’ll be better in the live match.”

As for the improvement shown throughout the week, McMahon credits the players for making the proper adjustment, because practice time has been limited, due to the schedule. Of note, the Selah coach came into the Cascade locker room and told them they were the best team they had

year’s show. A year ago, Hoper and Carrie Sorensen helped to revive the dormant Amberleaf Theatre group. After a 10 year hiatus, the group presented, “Amberleaf Theatre Rides Again.”

The show took the audience on a hilarious ride through the 10 years Amberleaf had been absent.

“It turned out great. Everybody enjoyed the show,” Hoper said. “All the locals who came to show rolled in their seats. Quite a success, I think.”

With a theater company in place, Hoper said The Echo idea came about during a brainstorming session one day. The group had a big meeting and talked about all the things they had seen in The Echo which, they thought, might fit in the show.

She took those ideas, and anything else she could think of, and put it into the script.

Hoper came to The Echo offices and researched old issues of the newspaper looking for inspiration. In the end, she said the

The LeavenworTh echo P.O. Box 39 215 14th Street Leavenworth, WA. 98826

cashmere vaLLey record 201 Cottage Ave. Suite 4 Cashmere, WA. 98815

play came together pretty easily.

She said this idea had been in her head for a long time.

“It’s a story about somebody who lived vicariously through r e a d i n g t h e L e ave nwo r t h Echo, never having been to Leavenworth,” she said. “Then, he finally comes and sees the reality of Leavenworth.”

She calls the farce, a “crazy, wacky, musical review.”

In the second act, there is a big “tree lighting” and a train station.

Leavenworth City Councilman Robert Francis plays the lead role of “Frank.” Christine Cassayre plays his wife, “Darla.”

The 25 or so other cast members fill in the other parts. Hoper is the writer and choreographer, while Carrie Sorensen handles the directing duties.

Some of the highlights include a spoof of the “Mr. Kodiak contest,” the often controversial “Letters to the Editor,” the often humorous “Sheriff’s Report,” and of course, the classified section.

Like last year’s production,

Hoper said the play is really aimed at the locals.

“Local folks will get the humor in the show,” she said. “It’s really designed with local folks in mind. A non-local would get a lot out of it, but some stuff would be over their heads. They would still enjoy it, but a lot of the jokes would be over their heads if they hadn’t been around Leavenworth.”

The group has been practicing once or twice a week since July, and more now that the first performance is just days away.

Hoper assures it is funny.

“When you’ve done for a long time, you don’t know that it’s funny anymore,” she said, with a smirk. “But people who have seen it, say it’s funny.”

Traditionally, the Amberleaf Theatre production would be presented on the two weekends of Autumn Leaf. But since Autumn Leaf is only one weekend now, the show is performed on the weekend of the Autumn Leaf Festival and first weekend of Oktoberfest.

“Echoes of Leavenworth” will be performed on Sept. 24, 25, Oct. 1 and 2 at 7 p.m., Sept. 26 and Oct 3 at 2 p.m. at Icicle River Middle School. Cost is $8 for adults and $6 for seniors and students.

Money collected from the show goes to producing next year’s show, and in time, to providing a scholarship to a graduating senior at Cascade High School.

Coach calls foul in 9-1 romp over Quincy

By Ian Dunn Editor Cascade fairly easily dominated 2A Quincy in Leavenworth last Thursday by a 9-1 score. But the story of the game was not so much about the competition as the officiating. Cascade Head Coach Colin Powers, a collegiate soccer referee, was beside himself over the play of Quincy in the game, and the lack of attention paid to it by one assistant referee.

“We played well even though they are a dirty soccer team. They play dirty. That is all there is to it,” he said. “I wish I could gloss it over or make it have a better taste in your mouth. But when you see players hurting people from behind all game long, and the assistant referee not calling a thing. That’s where serious injuries come into play.”

But was the rough play a result of getting beat so soundly? Powers disputes that notion.

“When it was 2-0, they were playing just as dirty from behind,” he said. “Their coach was upset when I was telling them to pour it on when it was 5-0. Should we call off the dogs? This is big girl soccer.

You have to play for 90 minutes. If you don’t have a quality product to put on the field, don’t come” Powers said there was one particular player he warned the assistant referee about at halftime. He said Suzy Hernandez would wait until the referee was diverted, then start kicking

over their level today. Ultimately, we have to stop people from getting hurt. That’s why I am upset.

I don’t want to see my players get hurt through ineptitude.”

Powers vowed the ref in question would never work a Cascade game again.

As far as the game itself, Cascade was scoring early and often.

Zig and Zag were back at it, as Hailey Ziegler scored the first goal, and sister Hannah the second. Freshman Kendall Loreth put one in to make it 3-0 at the 40 minute mark.

Hailey Ziegler scored unassisted to start the second half to make 4-0. Other getting in the scoring column in the second half, Amanda Scott and Emilia

Cascade senior Emilia Stefanko continued her run at the Cascade record books with two goals against Quincy last Thursday in Leavenworth. The Kodiaks beat the Jacks 9-1 in non-league action.

Stefanko is now just 10 goals behind Gwenna Carrie’s all time record of 63 goals.

Cascade Kodiak cross-country runners perform well at South Whidbey Invite

By Nevonne McDaniels Staff writer Leavenworth’s cross-country teams were running against the big guns at the South Whidbey Invitational on Saturday, but held their own.

The boys placed 15th out of 17th in the Division II race, with 365 points.

Junior Jake Whitten was the team’s fastest runner, coming in 34th in a field of 110, said Coach Dayle Massey.

“We found out there are a whole bunch of big schools that we thought were going to run in the the Division 1 race, but because they didn’t have strong teams, they ended up in Division 2,” he said, running against the Kodiak squad. The invitational literature described the Division

Stefanko. Hailey Ziegler finished with three goals, Loreth and Stefanko each had two. Cascade outshot Quincy 21-4.

“We were very flat in the first half. We played to our competition,” he said. “We talked about it at halftime. We are not going to play down to them. We are a much better soccer team. We weren’t playing like it. But in the second half, we played like it. We really came into our own.”

Upcoming games for Cascade (3-1) include at Cashmere (3-1) on Sept. 21. Results were not available before press time. On Saturday, Cascade plays at Tonasket.

Ian Dunn can be reached at 548-5286 or editor@leavenworthecho.com.

1 race for “large schools or state contenders,” and Division 2 for “small schools and developing programs.”

“It was good for them,” Massey said of the team. “It was a huge race.”

And the weather was good for the 5,000-meter (3.1-mile) route that included forest trails, grass, gravel and track surface.

“We were expecting rain, but it was sunny and warm,” he said.

“Everyone raced well. I had a good feeling about it.”

“Jake was certainly our fastest runner,” he said, with a time of 19:24:52. “The race started off fast.

In a field with over 100 people, it squeezes down to 10-foot wide track within 100 yards, so if you don’t get in front, you get stuck, trying to pass.”

Junior Cristian Rivas came

in 61st, with a time of 19:54.41.

Sophomore Michael Olmstead placed 86th with a time of 20:43.24.

Junior Tyler Harrod placed 92nd (21:06.27), followed by Senior Ryan Rosenau at 101st (21:43.72) and Freshman Caleb Matheson at 104th (22:03.76).

The girls team had just four runners at South Whidbey, so did not get a team placement.

Freshman Charlotte Massey placed 34th with a time of 24:40.87.

Freshman Andrea Chavez placed 49th, with a time of 25:51.97. Senior Julia Anderson placed 64th (27:35.71), followed by Freshman Lizzy Noland who placed 68th (27.57.84).

A better test, Massey said, will be Tuesday’s Liberty Bell Invitational at Pearrygin Lake, Winthrop.

“We’ll be back on our own side and facing similar-sized schools.

In fact, we’ll be one of the bigger schools.”

The invite includes 1B/2B schools Liberty Belling Oroville and Warden, as well as 1A schools Leavenworth, Chelan, Omak, Tonasket and Wahlupe.

The Kodiaks host Liberty Bell, Warden, Cashmere, Goldendale, Royal, Everett, Mariner and Moses Lake at the Leavenworth Invitational on Oct. 9.

It’s all leading up to the Caribou League Championship on Oct. 21 in Omak and the District Championship meet on Oct. 28 in Wenatchee.

“That’s the one that matters.

That determines who goes to State,” he said.

Life & Health

Along the Wenatchee Along the Wenatchee Pat Morris It is very likely you have never taken such a trip as the Egbert Trasks did in May 1892, traveling from the Yakima Valley to Na-hahum Canyon.

The incidents preserved in letters to a friend in Boston relate hardships of a not unusual kind for that day, when dropping down from a 5,000-foot summit to less than 1,000, as well as other difficulties of interest to us, who whiz over the same mountains so easily.

The Trasks had tried farming in the Moxee Valley, but abandoned it for the prospects of a ranch not far from the new railroad line going in but not finished.

On the morning they left, their

farm wagon was loaded with plow, seeds, farm implements, food for the summer and a camp outfit. It would take all day, even with their four horses, to reach a spring.

The next morning they came to a freighting trail, long established, carrying goods to Ellensburg.

Along it, and property spaced, were stage stations offering food and lodging.

Egbert drove the teams and his wife, Annie, rode one of their saddle horses, herding a second, plus a colt.

Watering the horses when coming to a stream, letting them graze, a necessity also, they traveled until darkness threatened.

Nine days later and crossing the Kittitas Valley, they could see the wooded slopes of the Wenatchee Mountains and their rugged peaks growing closer daily. In this valley there were many evidences of homesteading, where land was cleared and in crops and a cabin run up for a home. A railroad had been built

Corn, a harvest report Corn season was late this year and it is already winding down.

We sell corn at our fruit stand ooking from the Kallstrom Farm in with Quincy, and they tell me the growing season will soon come eri to an end. The Kallstrom family grows a super sweet corn, that Teri Miller has been the best corn I remember eating in a long time. It is so good the boys that work for me eat it uncooked everyday they work. Corn has had to struggle this year to grow like everything else, and supplies have been limited.

The food processors in Quincy have had quite a few days this year of shutdown, due to lack of product. I have not heard how the potato crop is this year, but I am hoping the spud growers have a great harvest. Washington is the nations top potato producer and creates many jobs in this state. Recently while in the Palouse, the wheat harvest was under way, and many calling it a vintage year for wheat. Our weather pattern this year was not good to vegetable or fruit growers, but was very beneficial to the dry land wheat growers. Home gardens also have struggled this year, so if need some delicious fruits or veggies, come out to the Tuesday or Thursday Farmers’ Market or a local fruit stand. There is still plenty of time to freeze or can food for the winter. Don’t forget the corn.

through and the prospect of prosperity was growing.

One more long day and the last stage station before the climb to the Wenatchee Mountain summit was endured with no stop for lunch. At dusk they halted at this goal.

When they stopped to eat a warm meal at this lodging place, they received little encouragement to risk crossing the summit where snow and mud and steepness forbid.

Next morning they set out, daring the risks. The first mile was a delusion. The snow was there alright. Thankful they had lightened the wagon load by packing gear on one of the ponies, they pressed on. Pine trees and steep slopes were everywhere. The mud mired the team many times.

About 4 p.m. the travel and the

exhausted team signalled stop.

After tending the stock, the Trasks pitched their tent and went to bed. Just outside a fire blazed. When the night wind came up, they were astonished to find the pine tree next to it had been set afire. A move was necessary.

Dawn brought more reasons for astonishment.

Three of their four horses had left camp for lower levels.

Saddling the ponies, the couple searched all day without results.

They had come on all sorts of draws and canyons with grass and wildflowers to attract horses, but so far none were the right ones. Finally they returned to camp. In the last rays of the setting sun, they spotted the horses two canyons away.

Too tired to go along and be-

lieving she was near the stage station, Mrs. Trask set out on her pony. Only after coming to the end of the road did she realize she was lost. Fighting to keep her composure, she decided to backtrack her pony’s hoof prints. She rode into camp as her husband brought back the horses.

Electing to spend one more night at the stage station, they met a freighter with his load also headed for the Wenatchee Valley. He offered to help them gain the summit if they helped him by pulling his load up with additional horses.

Next morning Egbert fastened two of his team to the freighter’s wagon and with all six horses, he was relieved to see them able to make fairly good time on the route.

Here we read from one of An-

nie’s letters: “Meanwhile we took the other horses and went up to where our wagon was and where I stopped and got dinner in a snowstorm over a campfire.

“We found our hens and other possessions safe and sound.

When the men returned I had some good hot coffee for them and crackers, fried ham and hot potatoes.

“After dinner the freighter put two of his horses on with our four and pulled the wagon to the summit. We had only ordinary, two-horse loads, but it was all six horses could pull to get through the mud. Before we reached the summit we went about 2 miles in old snow a foot deep. If the going up was bad, what shall I say about going down!”

Next week: A hair-raising experience.

Christina’s Culinary Adventures

By Christina Forchemer-Zucktriegel My niece, Allie, and I, took our aunt and uncle from Germany up to Gustav’s the other day for lunch. They wanted a juicy, American hamburger and I knew just where to bring them for a great sandwich or salad with a world-class view. We were sure to sit up on the deck with a panoramic view of the mountains and breathtaking surroundings. This is a great place to take visitors when the weather permits, because this is definitely one of the best ways to experience our gorgeous village. Gustav’s Pub and Restaurant has been open for 30 years and is very proud of their hand-cut, homemade french fries which are made daily on premises. Famous for their burgers, especially the Ortega Burger, which is made with melted Jack cheese, a mild green chili and all of the other usual condiments and toppings, Gustav’s is a popular eatery for locals and visitors alike. It’s casual, rustic and appeals to the outdoorsy crowd, young and old.

I ordered the Gustav burger and fries ($9.75) and the rest of the gang ordered a Caesar salad served with garlic bread and the Patty Melt. This is a classic sandwich made with ground beef, grilled onions, Tillamook cheddar and Swiss on toasted rye. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared with warm, toasted buns, crisp greens and just enough sauce. My burger was very well done but that was my fault because with all of the chatting, I forgot to order it medium, definitely the juicier and better alternative. I love crispy fries and noticed that Gustav’s are soft and far from crunchy in any way, but they are natural, freshly cut from large, substantial russet potatoes and that is a real plus. For budgetconscious diners, the grilled tomato, green chili, and cheese sandwich with potato salad is the best bargain on the menu at $7.95. I am looking forward to ordering the Alaskan Halibut and Chips ($13.95) next time we stop in. So many establishments serve cod as a fried fish option but halibut is by far my favorite albeit a more spendy choice. The wild salmon on greens or spinach salad are awesome and healthy menu options, as well. I noticed that Gustav’s serves Thomas Kemper Rootbeer on draft. One of my favorites! They also serve 30 beers on draft with an emphasis on Northwest Microbrews and are home to Icicle Ales since 1981.

If you stop in between 4 and 6 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, Sept. through June, take advantage of their special menu with deep discounts. Either way, have a great time! Cheers! I’m sure you all know where Gustav’s is located, but if you don’t their address is: 617 U.S. Hwy. 2, across from Lions Club Park.

With this minimally invasive technique, it is now possible to remove gall bladders, the uterus and ovaries, perform back and sinus surgeries and many more.

Recovery occurs within days, there is little pain, and side effects are reduced. This approach has not only shortened hospital stays and improved quality of life, but it also has reduced the cost of care.

In recent years, the development of robotic surgery has offered a new and exciting frontier for surgical procedures. Marketed as the Da Vinci system, this device allows the surgeon to perform highly complex procedures without ever touching the patient.

Working from a console, the physician uses the robot to make small incisions. And with miniaturized instruments and a high definition 3-D camera, is able to perform the most delicate of procedures.

Robotic surgery allows the surgical treatment of colon, rectum, bladder and kidney cancers and is now widely used to perform prostatectomies for prostate cancer.

The machine has also been used to repair heart valve abnormalities and coronary bypass surgery. Like endoscopic surgery, the robotic approaches allow a shorter recovery time, less blood loss, less pain and a lower risk of infection. This technology has created a great deal of excitement in the health care community, and the use of this approach has shown explosive growth.

Though the robotic surgery has brought many medical advances and benefits, it comes with a high price tag. In a recent article published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers examined the significant impact that this technology has had on health care costs. In the past three years, the number of robotic surgeries performed in the United States has increased from 80,000 to 205,000, and the number of Da Vinci systems available in hospitals rose from 800 to 1,400.

Each system ranges in price from $1 million to $2.5 million, and the use of robotic surgery increases the cost of procedures anywhere from $3,200 to $8,000.

Overall, robotic surgeries increases the annual cost of health care by $2.5 billion. And if the number of procedures continue to increase at the current rate,

the total cost could run higher in the billions.

In addition to cost, there are other concerns with robotic surgeries. While it has opened up complex and very difficult surgeries to minimally invasive approaches, the system is often used for operations such as gall bladder surgery and hysterectomies, which could just as easily be performed using cheaper endoscopic approaches.

There is also evidence that the availability of the robotic surgery increases the number of procedures performed. Between 2005 and 2008, prostatectomies increased by 60 percent, despite a reduction in the incidence of prostate cancer. It has been suggested that the availability of the robotic approach has led to more surgeons recommending prostatectomy over other forms of treatment.

Making matters more complicated, studies have shown the robotic surgery for prostate cancer has the same risk of adverse effects as earlier surgical approaches. The incidence of erectile dysfunction, incontinence or infection is identical with all forms of surgical treatments for prostate cancer.

The case of the robotic surgery is a perfect example of how great breakthroughs come with great challenges. Robotic surgery is a valuable and exciting advance in surgical treatment. However, it should be used in circumstances where other approaches are not available or effective. We must be aware of the cost implications and use the tried, proven, highly effective therapies when possible.

More research is also needed to compare the various approaches to treatment, so the health care community truly understands all the alternatives.

Your physician is not the only one responsible for determining when to employ the greatest advances in medicine. You, the patient, must be an empowered and active participant in your medical decisions.

This is the only way to assure the most appropriate treatment possible. Remember, newer does not always mean better. In medicine, while the tried and true therapy may not be the most exciting option, it is often the most reliable.

Craig Timmermans stands at the edge of Colchuck Lake, looking up Aasgard Pass on a family outing into the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in mid-August. The lake is around 5,500 feet of above sea level. Aasgard Pass is another 2,200 feet or so. With the fall weather arriving, it won’t be long until the green turns white.

the town and to the west are the Caliche lakes. These lakes will have unrestricted fishing through October 10th. Licensed anglers are encouraged to harvest the remaining game fish in all of the lakes mentioned prior to the rehab. I know the Caliche lakes are full of perch. I just may go down and get a bunch myself.

Friday, Sept. 17

Monday, Sept. 20

Every once in a while I get one of these notices that some anglers find hard believe. No size restrictions and no limit? I know, that’s not what we’re used to reading when it comes to lake fishing in our area. However, there are several lakes slated for rehabilitation in Grant County, and temporarily the daily limits and size restrictions have been removed for all game fish. The lakes found in the Columbia Wildlife Area south of O’Sullivan Dam include: Heart, June, all of the Windmill lakes, Canal and Pit. These lakes are open to unrestricted fishing until Oct. 3.

Bag limit and size restrictions have been removed from nearby North and South Teal lakes for the same time period. Other lakes that will be rehabbed and have temporarily suspended bag and size limits are found near George, Washington.

Martha Lake is found just east of

The fall-run salmon bite is beginning to get hot below Priest Rapids Dam. Anglers have been hooking big fall-runs for a while now, but the fishing has definitely improved in the past ten days or so. These salmon are still coming over Bonneville Dam at a rate of 10,000 to 12,000 a day, and the really big numbers, the 20,000 a

day counts haven’t even reach John Day. Fall-runs are passing over Priest Rapids at up to 800 a day, and those fish will be hitting the Wenatchee area soon. I have three trips planned to the Vernita area in the next week or so and I can’t wait to do battle with some of these big, bright kings. I will tape a show early this week, and it will be on the air in early October, early enough to give anglers some important tips before the season closes on the 22nd. I have been told to bring along a bunch of Super Baits in the lemon-lime color, and I just happen to have a bunch of them in my box. The steelhead fishing is also good in this stretch of the river. I hope to load up on kings early enough to spend some time getting some these, too.
