Twice a week, the married couple flips through dusty books of bound newspapers, photographs the individual pages and then file the images on the computer. The meticulous process is all for the Lake Chelan Historical Society’s project to digitize old copies of Lake Chelan’s weekly paper, the Lake Chelan Mirror . Jim and Pat, 89 and 86 years old respectively, started with issues from 1891 in 2006. Ten years later they are photographing the 1970s and 1980s.

“We are not going to finish. We are not going to live long enough. I am serious,” Jim said. “I have been doing this for 10 years, and I figure I am about two-thirds done.”

Even if the Parkers are chasing a lofty goal — digitizing issues through the 1990s —they have no intentions of

quitting. They easily could. They are retired. They are volunteers. This is no high-profile project; even the Mirror does not know this is happening.

Yet from just a few conversations with the pair, one can tell these are not the type of individuals who strive for fame or convenience. They do what’s meaningful, even if only a few will be able to appreciate it.

“They are very dedicated,” Ron McGaughey, manager of the Chelan Museum said. “It’s incredible.”

The Parkers work at the museum, where all the hard copies of the newspaper are collected in stacks of books.

Pat is the photographer and uses a camera attached to a tall arm that is the right height to capture the large pages.

“The original paper had no page numbers, so we had to assign numbers. Well, when they started to put page numbers on they would forget to change them, and the

INSIDE STORY page numbers would be wrong and the dates would be wrong,” Jim said.

He sits at a computer near the back of the museum, labeling, cropping and brightening the photos she gives him. By the end, the pages are converted into organized thumbnails of yellow-tinge images that can be enlarged and read by visitors.

“First of all, the goal is to save the old papers. Sooner or later they are going to disintegrate,” Jim said. “More than that, I think is to provide the opportunity for people who want to research a specific subject.”

Anyone can visit the museum now and request to access the photos on the computer. Even when all the pages will be digitized, McGaughey doesn’t plan to upload them online.

“Something will catch my eye. I’ll see a familiar name, and I will stop and read the article. That day I may not take quite so many pictures,” Pat said. “It is kind of interesting to see the change in prices in grocery items. Oh my goodness. Steaks for $1.29 per pound for instance way back when.”

Though neither of the Parkers grew up in Chelan, the local news still strikes a chord when describing the effects of national events. The Great Depression.

The list of Chelan men serving during World War II, just like Jim. Cultural obsessions like cars, tires and beer constantly in advertisements. Events like movie star Elizabeth Taylor filming a movie in Holden or an unexplained drowning in the lake.

“It’s a history of not only Chelan but you could follow the history of the country through the years,” Jim said.

During my interview with the couple, Jim shows me the computer he uses. The endless folders of photos lining the desktop are daunting. But there is a clear labeling system Jim created, and as he walks me through the editing process, I find it meticulous yet easy to follow.

Chelan’s history became Parkers’ history in 1995 when they moved there after living and working in Wenatchee for 30 years. They built their own house lakeside and still live there today, sharing it with their children and grandchildren in the summers.

“I think this might be a job for old people. I can’t find any young people who are interested in helping. It would bore them to death,” Jim said. “The problem of course is if you are interested in history, you would stop and read it, and you wouldn’t get any work done.”

“When I was going to high school in Coeur d’Alene, I used to sit there and say, ‘When I’m grown up I’m going to have a house on the lake shore,’ thinking it was going to be Coeur d’Alene, but it turned out to be Lake Chelan instead,” Jim said.

Pat knows this all too well. As the photographer, she thumbs the dogeared paper, with each page turn revealing an unpredictable collection of texts and photos. Her teaching roots draw Pat to articles about Chelan’s schools, yet even advertisements prove intriguing.

Now they can make up for all the years spent outside of Lake Chelan by learning the history the locals may not even remember. Perhaps the Parkers do not want to finish so quickly. Pat said she can take about 100 photos a day, while it takes longer for Jim to edit each one. As the issues have expanded over the years, their

pace of finishing a volume has slowed down.

“And I have been known to take a picture twice because I get distracted by the people that come in (to the museum),” Pat said. “But on the other hand, that is kind of what makes the job interesting.”

World photos/Don Seabrook

By Emily Cieslak Republished from The Wenatchee World Brent and Afni MacDonald avoided television last Tuesday night.

They could have watched the new episode of “Hotel Hell” where their business, Lakeview Hotel and downstairs restaurant, are criticized by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, but they said they didn’t want to relive the experience.

“After filming the whole day, my wife and I couldn’t wait to go home each night,” Brent said. “It was brutal.”

For five days in November, Ramsay and his film crew swarmed Lake Chelan to film the fifth episode of the show’s third season. The Fox network reality show revamps hotels through Ramsay’s frank and sometimes profane advice.

The process was exhausting. Brent recalls Ramsay rolling in with two semi-trucks and flying a plane over the lake. Each day they would spend hours filming, with 30-minute interviews in front of the camera between takes.

No customers were allowed to stay in the hotel during the filming and even restaurant-goers had to apply to step foot on the closed set. Fox paid them for the episode, but with the business they lost during filming, it wasn’t enough to give them a profit, Brent said.

Yet, Brent and Afni hope the biggest payoff is to come now after the episode aired and and created a buzz about their business.

“I think this is the biggest thing that happened to this valley,” Brent said. “The crew was staying in all the different hotels, going to the coffee shop and

restaurants. They warmed the community up to us.”

Brent said they did it for the community.

After last summer’s devastating fires, he and his wife wanted to find a way to give back and stimulate business in the area. They decided to do a reality television show and saw that “Hotel Hell” was looking for nominations from the West Coast. A few days after submitting their application, they received a call from the producers.

Going into this, Brent said he knew the show was looking for drama, so he and his wife played the part.

“I threw my wife under the bus,” Brent said. “I know I am going to be painted as a bad guy.”

Even a trailer does just that. The clip begins with Ramsay rattling off insults. When the couple saw it for the first time, Afni freaked out, but Brent told her to have fun with it.

“We should have known better,” Brent said. “They owned us.”

Having been in Chelan for 30 years, Brent and Afni were open to new ideas for their business, but didn’t think they needed a complete makeover. In fact, they didn’t get one.

“Most of the ideas he came up with didn’t work,” Brent said. “We did some of the things he said not to do, and they work great.”

With food and wine consultants from New York City, Ramsay suggested a new menu, scaling down the one they formerly had from eight pages to one. In the months that followed, Brent said they hardly sold

They also re-branded the place as “The Cock n’ Bull at B.C. MacDonald’s,” which Ramsay told them not to do.

But they wanted to underline their focus on chicken and beef dishes.

“Gordon doesn’t understand this area,” Afni said. “But of course in the show, he is always right.”

For the 13 hotel rooms upstairs, the show made one change, new bed sheets — that is, Brent said, after the filmmakers planted stains for Ramsay’s initial evaluation.

Lake Chelan This Week is now on Facebook and Instagram @lakechelanthisweek.

Follow us to continue your coverage of the best happenings in the Lake Chelan Valley as well as scenic shots from the vineyard, the dock and our favorite restaurants. Most importantly, we want to see how you are spending your week by the lake, so share your photos and events using #itsyourlake. Each issue, we will compile a collage of photos and feature them here. This week’s theme? Street art.

Where: Bear Foods Creperie, Chelan What: Banana and Nutella Crepe ($7) with Blue Lotus Chai Tea ($1.50) No gluten, dairy, sugar, eggs or soy — the crepe batter at Bear Foods Creperie is so guilt-free it can almost make you worry there won’t be anything to enjoy. But once you take a bite, you will find bliss — a crispy, slightly sweet shell hugging warm goodness inside.

The batter, developed by the owners out of ingredients from the natural food store, is the perfect compliment to both sweet and savory ingredients, thus the cafe has 15 combinations to choose from. Once you pick between the tempting options, sit back in the cozy gingham tables, hear the crackle of the griddle and sip scrumptious tea or coffee from speckled mugs. For my first time, I went with the classic, banana and nutella, because nothing beats oozing chocolate.

BOOKS

Lake Chelan This Week

Great Summer Reads Inspired recommendations from Riverwalk Books, Lake Chelan Valley’s Community Bookstore since 1994, located at 116 E Woodin Avenue, Chelan and online at riverwalkbooks.com

Adult

Young Adult

“How to Start a Fire integrates Lutz’s trademark humor, quippy dialog, and quirky characters with a story of three college friends who meet in Santa Cruz in 1993. Readers will fall in love with these three women as they experience failed marriages, career decisions, and other significant life events. Those who are new to Lutz will gobble up this standalone entry and then race to their bookstore to begin reading about the Spellman family in her earlier bestselling series.”

—Terry Gilman, Mysterious Galaxy, San Diego

“Russia, 1825. Two enchanters are raised from birth to assist the tsar, but only one can survive. With social unrest threatening the empire, the tsar is forced to begin the Crown’s Game. This ‘game,’ meant as a way for each enchanter to demonstrate their skills and prove their worth to the empire, brings Vika and Nikolai together to compete for the favor of the tsar. As the two take turns creating awe-inspiring events, Vika and Nikolai begin to realize that the real magic is created when they are together. But when one is destined to die, how can their love survive?”

—Marya Johnston, Out West Books, Grand Junction, CO

How to Start a Fire

Church of Marvels

By Leslie Parry

Young Readers

Frank and Lucky Get Schooled

By Lynne Rae Perkins “From the very beginning, readers understand that Frank and Lucky are the best of friends. And then we discover that there is so much more. Both are learning all sorts of things: Frank is good at reading and Lucky is even better at listening. Perkins gives young readers the story of a dog and his boy, and gives adults a terrific opportunity to show that you can learn things in all sorts of ways!

This is a charmer!”

—Margaret Neville, The King’s English Bookshop, Salt Lake City

“In this page-turner of a debut very little is what it first appears to be. Set in Coney Island and Manhattan at the end of the 19th century, Church of Marvels is populated with carnival folk and others living on the edge of society with either much to hide or much to discover.

The characters are richly drawn and their circumstances exceptionally intriguing as they seek and find the complicated truths of their lives in the dark underbelly of New York.”

—Cathy Langer, Tattered Cover Book Store, Denver

Circling the Sun

By Paula McLain “Reading Circling the Sun reminded me of the deep pleasure of solid storytelling: the vast landscape of colonial Kenya, complicated and compelling historical characters, love, suffering, and adventure combine to create a captivating narrative. McLain imagines the African childhood and early adulthood of real-life horse trainer and pioneering female aviator, Beryl Markham, as well as her social milieu which included Denys Finch Hatton and Karen Blixen, who, as Isak Dinesen, wrote Out of Africa.

Markham lived a fascinating and uncompromising life filled with danger, ill-fated romance, and stunning bravery, and McLain does justice to her memory with this sensitive and beautifully written portrayal.”

—Rhianna Walton, Powell’s Books, Portland

The Crown’s Game

By Evelyn Skye

Julia Vanishes

By Catherine Egan “Julia lives in Spira City, where magic and even folklore are punishable by death, and she loves her edgy life as a thief and a spy. Her mother was a witch, drowned in the river as part of the frequent Cleansing ceremonies, so Julia stays away from magic. Except that she does have a special skill that comes in handy while thieving: Julia can make herself almost unseen. This is the first book in a new trilogy and I look forward to more of Julia’s adventures as this epic story continues.”

—Clare Doornbos, DIESEL: A Bookstore, Larkspur, CA

The Square Root of Summer

By Harriet Reuter Hapgood “If I told you that time travel is real, you would think I’m crazy, but for physics prodigy Gottie Oppenheimer, it is real.

The emotional stress from the loss of her grandfather, rejection by her secret boyfriend when she needed him most, and the reemergence of her dorky-turneddashing childhood best friend send her traveling through wormholes to critical moments in her past. With love, family, and friendships on the line, Gottie tempts fate to uncover the meaning behind the wormholes. The Square Root of Summer is as entertaining as it is insightful.”

—Clare Donovan, the river’s end bookstore, Oswego, NY

Young Readers The Bear and the Piano

By David Litchfield “When a young bear cub happens upon a piano abandoned in the forest, he’s not sure what to make of it or of the strange sounds that come out of it. Unable to resist the pull of this mysterious contraption, Bear starts to spend most of his time playing with the piano and over time begins to create beautiful music.

One day, while out on a hike, a girl and her father come upon Bear during one of his ‘concerts.’

The young girl convinces Bear to return to the city where he can become a star, playing the piano in sold-out concert halls. Bear, longing to see what the world has to offer outside the forest, agrees to go. He soon becomes a smash hit with top-selling albums and all the fame he could ever wish for.

But what is all that fame without sharing it with the people you love?”

—Jen Steele, Boswell Book Company, Milwaukee

Good Night, Baddies

By Deborah Underwood, Juli Kangas (Illus.)

“A bedtime story that is both silly and sweet, Good Night, Baddies offers a rare look at our favorite storybook villains after they’ve gone home for the day. No more huffing, puffing, scheming, or chasing for them — off the clock, these ‘baddies’ let their softer sides show. As Troll takes a bubble bath, Rumpelstiltskin reads a story, and Giant fearfully asks the Witches to check under his bed, the baddies slowly settle down to a peaceful night’s sleep. These familiar yet creatively reimagined ‘baddies’ will win the hearts of readers young and old.”

—Sarah Nimmo, Blue Manatee Children’s Books, Cincinnati

It’s the largest gathering of wineries in the region, and the only professionally-judged wine event dedicated to wines produced in Chelan, Douglas, Grant and Okanogan counties. And this year it’s bigger than ever—more food, wine, beers, ciders, distilleries and eateries.

Saturday, August 27 6pm to 9pm Town Toyota Center, Wenatchee Tickets $45 each · A limited number of VIP tickets available for $75 each

Available online at wenatcheewineandfood.com

From Page 11 “You know what’s real about a reality show?” Brent said. “Nothing.”

The one area that saw the most improvement was the ice cream parlor and coffee shop. The show transformed the space with trendy accents: succulents, Mason jars, apple-crate shelves and a new paint job with the phrase “Treat Yourself” on the pastel wall.

“The show did open our eyes to some things that needed to be done,” Brent said.

When it comes to Ramsay, Brent said he has two personalities. Off camera, he is “generally warm.” On camera, he is the crude critic America has come to love.

With no enthusiasm, Brent said the host may return to Chelan to check up on their progress.

“It was a fun experience,” Brent said.

“Would we do it again? No.”
