COM Goldendale, Washington WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 2013 Vol. 134 No. 10 75 cents City council votes on, seats replacement council member City says recycling now available behind city hall, new tourism web site announced DEB BRUMLEY FOR THE SENTINEL Time to spring ahead Daylight Saving Time returns Sunday, so remember to set your clocks one hour ahead this Saturday night. The Goldendale City Council, in its regular Monday, March 4, session took on the critical task of filling a vacated council seat in addition to attending to a host of budgetary and project items. Following an eight-question public interview of each candidate, political newcomer and local businesswoman, Deanna Luth, was chosen in a 4-3 vote, with Mayor Clinton Baze breaking a tie, to fill the seat and finish out the term of former council woman Mindy Jackson. The other candidate for the council vacancy was former Goldendale Mayor Arletta Parton, a longtime Goldendale resident who, among other qualifications, now serves in two capacities with the local Chamber of Commerce. Baze says he was moved to select Luth “because of your positive interest in the community, Deanna. And I think you have been to every council meeting since I have been here.” Luth, co-owner of DT Fast Lube in Goldendale, cited job creation and city cleanup as her two top priorities. Luth had applied earlier for a council vacancy and noted her interest had not waned. In her application letter to the council, Luth wrote, “I had expressed interest in filling a previously vacant seat in Steve Johnson’s absence . . . and I still want to serve the community that I love and work in to the best of my ability. New councilwoman Luth was seat- See City, Page 2 Bickleton, PUD agree on new water system Phony sweepstakes letter says winner gets $2.7 million DEB BRUMLEY FOR THE SENTINEL LOU MARZELES EDITOR For more than five years Bickleton community leaders and volunteers have worked lockstep with Ron Ihrig, Klickitat County PUD Director of Operations and Generation, and John Grim, engineer with John Grim and Associates of Lyle, along with local and state officials in a concerted effort to replace its aging and out of compliance individual well system with a proper water district. Following a short exchange between Bickleton principals and PUD commissioners at an otherwise routine PUD board meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 26, PUD Resolution 1649 was unanimously approved, signaling the end of the 134-year-old community’s water woes The resolution calls for “establishing a public utility and providing for the acqui- One lucky Goldendale resident is $2.7 million dollars richer today, courtesy of the Publishers Clearing House (PCH). That’s what it said right on the letter he received. But not so fast. It turns out the scammers who put out the phony letter notifying the Goldendale person of his windfall “fortune” definitely sent it to the one person they least wanted to get it. “It just looked phony,” says Thomas Hawes, Jr.—a retired police officer. Hawes’ instinct was right. The letter has the PCH identity all over it (see the image on page 2). It has the distinctive logo. It says it’s from the vice president of international promotions and prize award department, a nice lady named Deborah Holland. It even has “government approval” stamped on it, as if the governments of the U.S. and Canada (the letter purports to be from Publishers Clearing House Canada/ USA) were happy to chime in and confirm the letter’s legitimacy. The letter also says to be very, very quiet about having won all this money. “Please keep this award letter strictly confidential,” it warns, “until your cash winnings have been processed and remitted to your designated account. It is company policy to keep this letter and your cash prize winnings confidential to avoid false claims.” Not so, says PCH. “PCH never asks you to keep quiet about your winnings,” the real organization says on its web site. “Quite the opposite. We’re always proudly posting pictures and videos of our winners. But the scammers want you to stay quiet so they can get your money without the authorities finding out.” Hawes decided to spring his own trap for the scammers. He took his letter down to Columbia Bank and asked Customer Service Represen- DEB BRUMLEY FOR THE SENTINEL COMING TO AGREEMENT: Representatives of Bickleton meet with the Klickitat PUD board to discuss details for a new water system. sition, construction and installation of certain water works, plants and a system to be known as the Bickleton water system; providing for improvements and extensions thereof; specifying and adopting a system and plan therefore, and approving other matters related thereto.” In plain language, the resolution changes the world for the citizens of Bickleton—population 88—giving them their own water district, which affords stable delivery of clean water. Bickleton was established in 1879. Since its inception, home owners and businesses have depended on their individual wells to provide and produce all waters needed for livelihood and commerce. Over time, Bickleton property owners have been the recipients of more governmental oversight and regulation as part of owning and operating the private wells. The Bickleton Community Council, a non-profit corporation, began looking for ways in 2008 to upgrade their wells to water, according to Ihrig. It was late 2008 when the Bickleton leadership reached out to the PUD to help them formulate a strategy to develop a water district. With the help of the PUD and engineer John Grim, the $20,000 grant request to the DOH to provide for a feasibility study to learn what might be needed to set up a water district. In October 2010, the Bickleton consortium approached the Klickitat County commissioners asking for $35,000 to do a water system plan. The county partnered in and granted the request the request to help the community water project take the next needed steps; Grim and associates produced the water system plan. From the plan, it was established that approximately $1.1 million was needed to create a Bickleton water district to allow water to move from water plant to delivery up to the meter, which residents would be required to purchase as part of the optin. A guiding goal was to keep initial rates below $60 per household per month.

See Scam, Page 2 Concerned parents ask why basketball games are getting so rough ANDREW CHRISTIANSEN REPORTER “What has happened to basketball around here that makes it such a rough game for kids to play in high school?” That was the basic question a group of parents brought to The Sentinel recently. The parents scheduled a meeting at The Sentinel out of frustration with a game that they believe is putting the health of their children at risk. They had four basic questions: 1) Who is responsible for the rough play in basketball games? 2) Why don’t officials enforce the rules of basketball? 3) Why does it seem officiating is inconsistent between the Gorge and the Yakima Valley? 4) Is there any way to change the system and make the game safer for kids? There is some agreement among coaches that supports the observations of the Goldendale parents. Five of eight Klickitat County coaches responded to a survey from The Sentinel, and while they had dif fering opinions on whether games are too rough, they were unanimous in saying that the game is called too loosely (meaning fouls are not being called) by Yakima Valley officials and that different standards are used for girls’ games versus boys’ games. Washington state high school basketball games are officiated by members of the Washington Officials Association (WOA). The WOA is independent from the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA), the association that represents the schools. WIAA contracts with WOA to officiate school sports. The relationship includes contracting how much officials will be paid and how many officials will work a game, but WIAA does not tell WOA how to do its job. WOA functions through sub-associations. There are 21 different WOA officiating associations for basketball, including the Columbia Gorge Association, which officiates most games in Klickitat County. Games in Bickleton are officiated by the TriCities Association, and many games played in the Yakima Valley are officiated by Yakima Valley Association officials. According to Dave Van Laar, coordinating official for the Columbia Gorge Asso- ciation, different associations within WOA may have different philosophies in how they call games, but they all use the same rule book, the National Association of State High School Associations (NFHS). “Some associations work the 3A and 4A games where players are bigger, stronger and faster. They might adopt more of a collegiate philosophy in their officiating,” says Van Laar. The implication is that they will call a looser game, allowing more physical contact. Van Laar says that his association calls the game closely to the NFHS rules and while the perception may be that the Yakima Valley Association calls the game looser, Van Laar says he believes his group “melds well with Yakima Valley.” Of ficials and coaches point out that basketball is a physical game. Some contact is allowed under the rules. Whether something is considered a foul or not is totally within the discretion of the official. If the pushing and shoving that is common under the basket gets extreme, fouls will be called. If the contact gives a person an advantage, generally fouls will be called. Back-court hand-checking is likely to be called a foul, but some hands See Fouls, Page 14 2 — MARCH 6, 2013 GOLDENDALE, WASHINGTON MOST WANTED: The Goldendale Police are looking for Casey Simpson (left) and Jeremy Moss (center) for 1st degree burglary and 1st degree kidnapping stemming from a home invasion.

RIP-OFF LETTER: This is the letter received from a scam pretending to be Publishers Clearing House. SCAM from Page 1 tative Diane Marvel at the bank to call the “claim agent” listed in the letter, a Mr. Alfred Davis, at (718) 925-3059 (a New York City number). She put the phone on speaker phone and was soon chatting with “Davis,” identifying herself as Hawes’ wife at his request. “So to what bank account can I send your funds, Mr. Hawes?” the scammer asked. “Well, what I’d like you to do is just send all $2.7 million to me in cash,” Hawes answered, “nice new bills. My ‘bank account’ is upstairs in my home, see, in boxes.” Back in New York, a puzzled scammer perhaps began to wonder what he was dealing with. “What’s your occupation, Mr. Hawes?” he asked. CITY from Page 1 ed, without the ability to vote, following her appointment, but will gain her official vote at the next council meeting following her formal swearing in by city clerk Connie Byers. In other council business, Goldendale Police Chief Rick Johnson says he is inviting the city’s Ordinance Committee to meet in the near future to discuss amendments to the one-year-old dangerous dog ordinance, which Johnson said needs to provide penalties for “repeat offenders.” New Public Works Director Karl Enyeart provided brief overviews of the needed wastewater treatment plant improvements costing $37,000, which will upgrade the SCADA software and computer system at the plant. The street sweeper’s life of service will also be extended 10 years, said Enyeart, with the planned $25,000 in repairs and refurbishing to the sweeper. After council discussion, it was also decided City Administrator Larry Bellamy would provide a coordination effort to encourage the community to clean off sidewalks and “get the dirt to the street” before the sweeper goes into the repair shop in late April. The council agreed to a negotiated settlement between the city municipal employees and the city, for the fiscal year 2013, whereby employees will receive one additional floating holiday, but no raise, said Bellamy. The council approved Resolution No. 593 approving the 2013 Klickitat County Solid Waste Management Plan. According to the Review of Changes document, the plan is “reorganized and updated. Councilman Len Crawford, who worked with the county solid waste work group, em- Playing the helpful wife, Marvel responded, “Oh, he’s a retired police officer.” For some reason, at that point the line seemed to have trouble, and the call ended. “I’m telling everyone about this,” Hawes says. “The community needs to know these phony letters are out there.” PCH is a legitimate sweepstakes company that does indeed award large cash prizes to winners. But it is also the target of many scams. PCH never tells people they’ve won by phone or email. Their letters never warn people to keep quiet until winnings are processed. And PCH never asks for money to “process” winnings, which is the ultimate aim of scammers who, once they have a victim on the phone, typically ask for a sum like $399 to cover “administrative” and “transfer” fees. phasized the need to make “concerted efforts” to improve recycling, which currently stands at 7.7 percent countywide. The goal of the plan is 50 percent return on eligible recyclable products. Bellamy noted there is a recycling station for all recyclables except glass behind City Hall. At the direction of the council, Bellamy will also help coordinate a recycling awareness effort. Three first reading ordinances were passed, which collectively support loans and grants pertaining to Sewer Collections Systems Improvements and street improvement projects (Ordinance 1424). These ordinances will come back to the council at the next regular meeting for a second reading along with actions to continue to progress the projects. Ordinance 1426 addressing first fiscal year quarter budget amendments were passed by the council. Items in Sections 1-3 allow an increase of $35,0000 in the Current Expense Budget to adjust for replacement police car funds received in 2012 but not expended until 2013; and allow for adjustments of $575,000 in the City Street Fund and $67,500 in the Water Sewer Fund street improvement projects.

The formerly illegal drug was discussed as matter of factly as any other taxed state commodity: rules and regulations will be developed and disseminated, quality controls will be shaped to guide the growing, processing and retailing of marijuana and marijuana-infused products, and taxes collected WATER from Page 1 Bickleton residents also asked to keep their wells and operate them until the end of the well life. With these broad parameters established, Grim was tasked with putting together g rants which would be submitted to state and federal agencies. “It was a magnificent effort,” says Ihrig, “at all times, in all the discussions, with all the groups, the question was, ‘How do we get there?’” Rinna McHugh, a Bickle- will be earmarked for specific programs in Washington State. The new law designates three license tiers: grower, processor and retailer. Each tier license will cost applicants $250 to initially apply and $1,000 for annual renewal. All revenues generated from each of the tiers will be taxed at 25 percent. Granger resident Natalie Norwood, attending the forum along with her husband Grant, are both healthcare industry workers who wanted to learn more about the topic in general. She summed up the awkwardness this way: “It wasn’t that long ago I sat in my elementary school class and watched the movie where Michael Landon turns into a werewolf from using marijuana. And now people are here at the same table to learn how to make a living from this? Crazy!” The State of Washington joined Colorado last November as one of the only two U.S. states where marijuana activities, under certain guidelines, is legal, thus initiating a whole new national conversation. Initiative 502 “licenses, regulates marijuana production, distribution and possession for persons over 21; removes state-law criminal and civil penalties for activities it authorizes; taxes marijuana sales and marijuana related revenue.” It falls under the purview of the Washington State Liquor Control Board. The Board, which was created in 1933 to provide oversight to Washington State liquor sales, lost much of its scope of work when voters chose to move the State out of liquor operations and into the public’s hands whereby liquor store owners operating rights are won by the highest bidders. The purpose of the Feb. 28 meeting was to afford liquor control board members and staff the opportunity to provide details of the new state activity, to share the role of the board, to explain processes and guidelines, but primarily to hear from the public. The newness and awkwardness of the topic was evidenced by the comments from both the board and the public, throughout the fivehour session. “We are the first in the world to take [marijuana] from seed to retail,” said Foster. “We are trying to understand the product while creating the rules.”The board is responsible for the incremental implementation of the new rules which will ease the new law into place and provide for its regulation. Foster also was careful to explain “medical marijuana is not part of our jurisdiction, not at all.” Medical marijuana use and guidelines will remain an activity guided by Washington Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 69.51A .040 (http://apps.leg.wa. gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=6 9.51A.040). Foster noted all comments from the eight statewide meetings will be summarized and considered, as final rules guiding the new activity are developed and incrementally rolled out. The public comment activities are one of the many initial actions the WSLCB is undertaking as it moves toward a December 2013 target date of finalizing all licenses for all producers/g rowers, processors and retailers. These licenses will be staggered in, beginning with grower applications accepted in early June; processor licenses accepted in late August and retailer licenses approved by Dec. 1, 2013. The board listened to citizen comments from more than three dozen individuals, for nearly three hours. Thematically, the concerns were asked by parents and professionals about how to protect children from easy access to the now legal drug, and to define the fine print and eligibilities for those interested in becoming a grower, processor, or retail owner. “Do I like the law? No. But it’s here to stay. Be responsible,” said Peggy Gutierrez, with Columbia County Washington Drug Free Coalition. Toppenish attor ney George Colby, representing the Yakama Nation, surprised the crowd and board with the Nation’s position on I-502 implementation: “The Nation owns one-fifth of the state, and we do not want marijuana activities on our lands.” The board has developed an I-502 website which provides additional information, resources and answers to frequently asked questions: http://www.liq.wa.gov/marijuana/I-502 For real time updates, the public is invited to sign up for RSS feeds from the WSLCB: www.liq.wa.gov/ marijuana/email-notifications One public forum for citizen comments still remains. The forum is is scheduled for March 7, at the Kitsap Conference Center, Bremerton, at 7 p.m. ton Community Council member and project facilitator-advocate, called the partnership between her community, the PUD, the county commission and state officials, “a beautiful, magnificent thing. This is a project we have all talked about for years; we are beyond thrilled with the outcome, beyond thrilled with collaboration and support we have received.” While fund-seeking was underway, the Washington State Department of Health cited the Bickleton First Presbyterian Church for exceeding maximum nitrate levels. According to Ihrig, this violation created further impetus for the Bickleton work group and sponsors to try to make progress. Funding came into the project, but in ways which astonished the working group: Klickitat County provided $250,000 (with 2.1 percent on a 40-year loan). A USDA loan provided $200,000, and a separate USDA grant came up with another $650,000. Following the Feb. 26 approval of the resolution es- tablishing the Bickleton Water District, the project will now go out for a Request For Proposal (RFP) for an engineering company to drill a test well. The Bickleton Water District work group and its principals are able to draw a deep breath and take a short pause at this historic, post-funding, pre-construction stage of the project. “We’ve reached the top of the hill on the roller coaster ride,” said Grim “and now we press forward.” Visit The Sentinel at www.GoldendaleSentinel.com MARCH 6, 2013 — 3 GOLDENDALE, WASHINGTON H OMETOWN OBITUARIES James Sarsfield James (Ed) Sarsfield went to his Heavenly Father on February 23, 2013. He was born Dec. 2, 1929 in Portland, Ore., to William A. and Agnes (Hoctor) Sarsfield. He g raduated from The Dalles High School and won a full scholarship to the University of Oregon as a star linebacker. This was a special time for him, as for the rest of his life he considered himself an Oregon Duck. On Dec. 9, 1966, he married Betty Ann Thomsen and they continued to farm in Goldendale, for several years. Following this, Ed and Betty moved to Woodinville, WA where he worked as a prison guard for the Monroe Reformatory. Finally, he and Betty returned to his beloved Oregon and settled in Salem where he worked at the Salem Post Office. Ed loved taking trips with Betty, music, and watching Perry Mason and old westerns. In 2011, Ed moved to White Swan, where he lived with his sister-in-law Janice. He was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in White Swan. Due to ill health it became necessary for him to move to Emerald Care where he made many friends; a very special one was his roommate, Earl. Ed is survived by his two step-children, Cathy (Rick) Davidson and Dennis (Laurie) Thomsen, step-grandchildren Carl (Jeannette) Davidson, Cristin (Brad) Stubbs, Chris (Trayce) Thomsen, Travis Hudson and Vanessa (Bob) Carroll, along with 10 great-grandchildren, sisters-in-law Janice Anderson and Janice Sarsfield, niece Theresa (Mike) St. Hilaire and numerous greatnieces and nephews. He is also survived by his nephew and his wife, William (Pat) and Lola Sarsfield, who encouraged him to come to Washington so that he could be close to family during his last years, and who made a point of making him feel at home and loved. Ed was preceded in death by his wife Betty, brother William, step-daughter Linda Hudson, brother-in-law Bob Anderson, his special friend Trudy, and most recent, his niece Maureen Morford.

The fire company was on hand promptly and together with other citizen’s worked hard and prevented it from spreading to any of the adjoining buildings. The worst feature of the fire was that the barn contained a horse belonging to Frank Bulger and the fire had gained such headway before it was discovered that it was impossible to get him out and he perished in the flames. The day was a perfectly still one, there being scarcely any breeze stirring, or the result would have no doubt been altogether different and a black spot would now be marking the ground upon which a large portion of the town stands. Goldendale has been very fortunate indeed, in the way of fires. A good deal of hard work was done in a short space of time, some with their hands and others with their jaws, but the town was saved and we are thankful.

There doesn’t seem to be much alarm over it, perhaps because behind that whole drama is a transparent power play rather than a move toward resolution of the nation’s debt situation, at least for now. But perhaps there is a connection among wolves, scams, and pot legalization. They do have something in common: approaches to Lou Marzeles, each are not always well reasoned. Let’s take wolves, preferably to Canada. Editor There are experts in the field of wolf study who will tell you there’s a difference between saying there are wolves in a certain area and saying there are wolf packs in a certain area. Ah. Calves and sheep will sleep much more soundly now knowing that differentiation. Of course it does make a difference, but we know there are no wolves out there filling out applications to be considered a pack by a state government. Scams. OK, these people are just plain stupid, to speak frankly and at the risk of upsetting the scammers’ union. “Stupid” here means the choice to make a living, so to speak, by wanton deceit. Who are your friends if you do this for living? Do you go home at night and share what a rough day it was at the office? Do you get employee of the month recognition? Your children must be so proud. Then there’s marijuana as it moves into legal recreational use. There are many who say just passing that initiation constituted idiocy of the highest order, but for now let’s just look at how well thought out it was. The thinking seems to have been: say, let’s pass a law with no idea how it will work and then let the state figure out how to implement it. The state and law enforcement agencies are struggling with exactly that issue, with a clock running on when it has to be finished. But at least the people get what they want.

He did not know the sound of a shot, because after firing several blanks he simply sat down and looked back at me before resuming his hunting expedition. I have only heard of one human attack by a wolf, and it was thirdhand. The story was that a grey wolf attacked a man carrying a gun. The man required stitches. The wolf required a headstone. This did not happen in Klickitat County. It irritates the heck out of me when anyone asks if I’m seeing a wolf or a large coyote because it would take three of those little brown coyote hides to fill one of those big grey wolf hides. I enjoyed the photo of the timber wolves in your paper. I don’t know where it was taken, but I have argued with the game department for years that wolves were in the Simcoes. I have seen a pack of five grey wolves twice, once in 2003 east of Cedar Valley Road and south of Pothole Road. I saw some again about four years ago, west of Cedar Valley Road and north of Pine Forest Road. Both times they were digging for mice and gophers. Another pair used to come in behind my house off Cedar Valley Road every other fall to eat apples. One was a light reddish color. The Rita J. Liska male, which was grey, was much Goldendale more cautious, sneaking through the timber and underbrush for an hour or more before coming out into the open to eat, only about 75 feet beyond my kitchen window.

There were 10 to 12 participants per session for what appeared to be an attempt by them to understand why we don’t want one and a half-mile long coal trains going through the country’s only national scenic area. It appeared as though it was an attempt to find the things people would support, such as jobs and the build-out of ports—never mind the noise, dirt, diesel emissions and health hazards created by the trains carrying coal. The session I attended had people from Cascade Locks, Hood River, and The Dalles participating. They paid $100 cash for our time. People were not informed in advance as to what the purpose of these sessions were, but it was obvious from the questions. When you consider the costs of the food, the public relations people, the hotel rooms, and money per session to the participants, it would appear that the coal companies will do and spend whatever it takes to open the Gorge for their dirty business. Let your state, federal representatives and the governor know: we don’t want coal trains despoiling our home.

Letters to the editor should be original and comment on an issue. There is a suggested length limit of about 300 words. Unsigned letters, letters with fictitious signatures, or copies of letters to public officials are generally not accepted. The Sentinel also limits letters on a particular subject when we feel it has been thoroughly aired, to the point of becoming repetitive. Check your facts; offhand “statistics” or “information” of questionable nature will not be printed. The Sentinel also reserves the right to edit or omit a letter if it contains potentially libelous material, an attack on an individual, or is generally in bad taste. Writers must include name, city of residence, and phone number for verification purposes.

Those who do are the incessant volunteers, the core groups who add ‘one more’ additional activity to a usually already full dance card. And Goldendale is no different, witness the Goldendale PTO (Parent Teacher Organization). According to PTO Treasurer, Beth Schroder, the busy, primary school-centered group has been in existence for as long as she can remember. The PTO charges no fee to those wanting to join, is individually, as opposed to nationally organized and is a non-profit. The productive volunteers support the students and staff of the Goldendale Primary School through extra-curricular, fun activities. On most first Thursdays of each month the PTO meets at 6:30 p.m., at the primary school. The local members gather to plan for the next school event; one continuous event follows another, for the duration of each school year. Even with the continuous event schedule, being a member of the group is not all consuming. “It’s a fun experience,” says Schroder, “and a person is not committed all the time. They do not need to be at every event, attend every meeting, but they can pitch in when it makes sense for them.” The 2012-2013 officers soon closing the books on their one-year terms are President Joanie Fahlenkamp, Vice President LeeAnn Mell, Treasurer Beth Schroder and Bree Chambers, Secretary. These volunteers, along with many other parents, teachers, and family member-volunteers comprise the Goldendale PTO. “This is the first year,” said Schroder, “. . .that all the officers are parents.” Like all productive volunteer groups the need for more volunteers is never ending. The more individuals in the group, the more talent, energy and individual strengths the group has to help create their excellent event results. The annual school carnival with a “Neverland” theme, which was held Friday, Feb. 22, was a testimony, said Schroder, of “LeeAnn’s artistic talents. The decorations were just awesome.” A few of the extra activities the PTO has organized for the 2012-2013 school year includes Fall movie nights, Mad Scientist Night, Penny Wars in which the losing team (the team with the least pennies) caught a pie in the eye and the Running Club, where students earned footprints for each mile walked or ran after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Thaynan Knowlton, Goldendale Primary School principal won the Running Club traveling trophy, for the most cumulative miles, but just by a hair. “He edged out a third grader,” said Schroder with a laugh. has three winners. The three finalists from each grade will compete on April 25, at 5:30 p.m. in the primary school gym. The PTO will be offering prizes, “really, really cool prizes,” said Schroder, for the bee winners. Primary school teachers also receive extra support from the PTO, through the group’s Teacher Reimbursement Program. For time volunteered in a PTO activity, teachers receive credit. These credits can be redeemed for up to $100 in classroom expenses. CONTRIBUTED Those wanting to stay conTHE QUEST: Students participated in the Missoula Children’s nected or learn more about Theater, last Spring, performing in the play “King Arthur’s Quest.” The PTO members desire to create school activities that are not only fun, but “. . .want to encourage other kinds of learning and creative thinking,” Schroder noted.

A wide array of games and entertainment plus clam chowder and nachos lunch helps raise money for students at Klickitat. GHS students giving globally through Adopt a Village DALLAS SMITH FOR THE SENTINEL The Goldendale High School has raised nearly $1,000 from its students through Free the Children’s Adopt a Village program and the number is still growing. The money the students raise goes into funds that aid communities in countries like Ecuador, Sier ra Leone, Ghana and others. The Adopt a Village program not only aims to help these communities but teach them to sustain the improvements that are made. Students at the high school are actively supporting the Adopt a Village program on a daily basis. Everyday they attend a 20 minute “task period” to work on homework and other school related activities. Those who wish for the extra time to go towards their lunch, can pay a dollar and have that extra 20 minutes. The dollar goes to the Adopt a Village program. When the program started on Feb. 1, many students were extremely skeptical, thinking that one dollar couldn’t make a difference, but in actuality those dollars are being very effective. The money aids in improving children’s lives in the supported communities through Adopt a Village’s “five pillars,” which include education, clean water and sanitation, health care, alternative income and livelihood, and agricultural and food security. As is evidenced from the charity’s name of Free the Children, the program aims to give children the opportunity to better their lives. The GHS leadership class is working to earn admission to “We Day” in Seattle. In order to qualify, students have to participate in a local charity and a global charity. The class chose Adopt a Village for its global charity project. Their local project was helping Dr. James Ogden with his free eye clinic. “We Day” is a huge concert with motivational and inspirational speakers who talk to youth about “getting involved” and “being the change”. “I’m really excited to experience the “We Day” and be involved in helping people that don’t normally get help,” says senior Haley Smith. She is one of 30 leadership students that are working toward admission to “We Day.” For more information on We Day visit www.weday.com. Adopt a Village is open to donations from the community. To make a donation contact Ginger Plum at the Goldendale High School. For more infor mation about Adopt a Village, go to www.freethechildren.com MARCH 6, 2013 — 7 GOLDENDALE, WASHINGTON S PORTS Tradition broken, no Simcoe or Twilight track meets in Goldendale this year ANDREW CHRISTIANSEN REPORTER Goldendale’s returning triple jump star, Isaac Messenger may not get a lot of quality practice in the event on Goldendale’s field this year. The senior placed fourth in the triple jump and 10th in the long jump at State last year, but jumping at Goldendale this year is an invitation to injury. There is just one track and field meet scheduled for Goldendale this year thanks to worn out approaches to the long jump pits. That means no Simcoe/Thompson meet and no Lions’ Twilight meet in Goldendale this year. The approaches, which have a rubbery compound applied over asphalt to accommodate track spikes, have been worn out for several years. Over the past three seasons, large holes have de- veloped in the take-off points with cracks and worn out areas running the length of the runway on both boys and girls long jump pits. An injury on the girls’ runway last year led to the use of rubber mats placed along much of the length of the runways. While rubber mats do a good job covering holes, the underlying surface is still uneven and the mats themselves tend to develop wrinkles. According to Superintendent Mark Heid, a patch is scheduled for the approaches this spring. A new layer of asphalt will be laid and it will be covered with the rubber mat. The long term solution is included in the plans to revamp the football field, at which time the pits will be moved further away from the football field and the runways completely redone with a proper foundation and sur- face. That improvement is tied to the bond which the school plans to submit to voters in November. Coach Jennifer Holycross says that the type of work that needs to be done requires warm weather, so she doesn’t expect the approaches to be ready before the 2015 season, assuming the bond is approved by voters. The Simcoe/Thompson meet was the kick off to the season in past years, always promising to be blustery if there wasn’t snow. This year the team will travel to The Dalles Wahtonka for the Mullen-Leavitt Invitational on March 16. The Lions’ Twilight was held late in April in the past. This year, the team will travel to Condon instead, for the Bowerman Invitational. The only meet scheduled for Goldendale is the SCAC league meet on April 9.

Wanderscheid is the headliner for a talented group of Timberwolf golfers, five of whom competed in last year’s State tournament. Wanderscheid, a junior, defeated Alexis Keating, of Elma for the title last spring at Dupont. Keating and Wanderscheid tied for second in 2011. Her brother, Zack was a twotime State Champion. Bree has the chance to eclipse that mark, and although she admits that would be pretty cool, she says “I don’t want to get ahead of myself.” She says she is only focused on one meet at a time. Wanderscheid says she golfed quite a bit this winter in the Yakima Valley. She is coached locally by Ted Wilkins, but also works with Jeff Bender, the club pro at Black Rock Creek Golf Course, near Sunnyside. If Wanderscheid was tough to beat last year, it isn’t going to be easy this year, either. She says she has added length to her drive and has learned more shots, especially around the green, working on high percentage shots. Last year was a banner year for Timberwolf golf as the girls and boys won district team titles. Sawyer Ross and Tessa Enwards accompanied Wanderscheid to State last year. Ross is back this year while Enwards switched to track and field. Four boys went to State and two, Mitch Anderson and Joel Gerchak return for another shot. The boys will see their first action of the year on March 15 in a boys only event at The Dalles, also starting at 10 a.m. Lyle-Wishram Varsity softball schedule 3/9 3/19 3/26 4/4 4/8 4/16 4/19 4/23 4/25 4/30 5/2 5/4 5/16 5/18 5/24 at Stevenson, 11 a.m. double-header at White Swan, 3 p.m. double-header host Tri-Cities Prep, 3 p.m. double-header host Hood River JV, 4 p.m. single game at Hood River JV, 4:30 p.m. single game at Klickitat, 3 p.m. double-header host Liberty Christian, 3 p.m. double-header host Granger, 3 p.m. double-header host Columbia-White Salmon, 4:30 p.m. single host Klickitat, 3 p.m. double-header at Columbia-White Salmon, 4:30 p.m. single Alumni double-header, 4 p.m. District/Regional District/Regional State Championship Lyle-Wishram Varsity baseball schedule 3/9 3/16 3/22 3/26 4/4 4/8 4/12 4/16 4/23 4/27 4/30 5/7 tba 5/18 5/25 at Stevenson, 11 a.m. double-header host Riverside Christian, 11 a.m. double at Dufur, 2 p.m. double-header host Tri-Cities Prep, 3 p.m. double-header host Hood River C squad, 4 p.m. single game at Hood River C squad, 4:30 p.m. single at Sunnyside Christian, 3 p.m. double host Sherman County, 4 p.m. single game host Granger, 3 p.m. double-header Alumni double-header, 11 a.m. host Sunnyside Christian, 3 p.m. double at Sherman County, 4:30 p.m. single game District tournament Regionals State Championship ANDREW CHRISTIANSEN RUNWAY HAZARD: Isaac Messenger checks out a hole in the runway for the long jump/triple jump pit at Goldendale’s field.

WDFW projects abundant runs of Columbia River chinook Fishing prospects look bright this year for chinook in Washington’s ocean waters and the Columbia River, according to preseason salmon forecasts released last week at a public meeting in Olympia. Opportunities for anglers also look good in Puget Sound, where coho and pink salmon runs are expected to be strong this year. Forecasts for chinook, coho, sockeye, pink and chum salmon mark the starting point for developing 2013 salmon-fishing seasons in Puget Sound, the Columbia River and Washington coastal areas. The forecasts were developed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and treaty Indian tribes. Fishery managers have scheduled a series of public meetings over the next few weeks to discuss potential fishing opportunities before finalizing seasons in earlyApril. A meeting schedule, salmon forecasts and information about the salmon season-setting process are avail- able on WDFW’s website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/northfalcon/ . Salmon fisheries developed through this extensive process will once again be driven by the need to rebuild depressed wild salmon populations while protecting healthy stocks, said Phil Anderson, WDFW director. “This year’s preseason forecasts point to a number of opportunities for us to design some exciting fishing opportunities in waters across the state, while staying true to our conservation principles,” Anderson said. “We look forward to working with our constituents in designing salmon fisheries.” As in past years, salmonfishing prospects in 2013 vary by area: • Columbia River: Nearly 678,000 fall chinook are expected to return to the Columbia River this season. About 80 percent of those fish are “bright” stocks, most of which are destined for areas above Bonneville Dam, including the Hanford Reach FOULS from Page 1 on after that may not be called. Van Laar also says typically girls games are called closer than boys’ games. “The athletic ability is different between boys and girls. The boys are bigger, stronger, faster and can play through some of it (contact),” says Van Laar. He disagrees with the notion that girls’ games are rougher than boys’. “There is no comparison,” he says. “It may appear that girls’ games are rougher as they are on the floor more…more jump balls, but boys’ games are much rougher. The girls play just as hard, but boys play through the rough stuff better.” The question of how one changes the way games are called is complex because of the different levels involved and the apparent independence of those levels. In addition to the variation between officials, coaches are also in control of how a game is played. It is also important to understand that fouls are not the same as illegal play. Fouls are part of the game and can be part of the strategy. A team may be coached to be very aggressive in their defense as they may view the benefit of disrupting the offense as being worth the risk of being called for fouls. There are opportunities for coaches to have some influence on officiating. The WOA began a program called RTO this school year. “RTO stands for Retain, Teach, Observe,” says Todd Stordahl, Commissioner of the WOA. “RTO was created by the WOA-WIAA agreement committee,” says Stordahl. It is paid for by the schools through WIAA. The program started this school year with football, basketball and soccer. Volleyball is being added next year and other sports will follow. RTO is focused on training and retaining officials. It gives coaches an avenue to bring issues to the attention of WOA, although that is not the purpose of the program. The initial phase of the program is observation. They have done that by sending observers to games around the state, making notes of items that need to be addressed. They also asked schools to upload video that officials could use for training purposes without having to travel around the state. “We had a lot of film from football,” says Stordahl, but not much from basketball.” He points out that it is early in the process and he hopes there will be more participation in the future. “We want schools to upload all of their games. If they send video they want us to review, that’s okay, we just need film for training purposes,” says Stordahl. If asked to comment on some aspect of a particular game, Stordahl says they will do so. Van Laar says that some coaches have balked at uploading game video because of concerns of it being used by other coaches to scout their team. “That can’t happen,” says Van Laar. “Each school has a password protected account that prevents that.” Another way coaches can have input is through officiating clinics that are held around the state. Van Laar says that the Columbia FILE PHOTO PRESSURE: Crysta Counts looks to pass under pressure from a Mabton defender during a January game in Goldendale. Gorge Association holds clinics during summer ball to train officials. “Coaches are invited, but few participate,” says Van Laar. Stordahl says the same is true of other associations and that officials offer to attend coaches’ clinics, but are rarely invited. Where does this leave parents who are concer ned about the safety of their children involved in school sports? “The first step for parents, coaches and schools to have input [into officiat- ing] is to participate in the program. If there is an issue, we need to hear it from the athletic directors,” says Stordahl. Finding agreement among all the layers and policing a system that has discretionary enforcement of rules makes change unlikely. However, there is always an opportunity to work for change, but in this case, change is more likely to be slow and incremental rather than sudden and dramatic. and Snake River. Brights are really the foundation of the recreational fishery, “and with the numbers we are expecting there is good reason to be optimistic about this season,” said Ron Roler, Columbia River policy coordinator for WDFW. Columbia River fisheries also are expected to benefit from a significant increase in coho numbers. The abundance of Columbia River coho is forecast to be about 501,000 fish. That would be better than the five-year average and total nearly three times as many fish as last year’s actual abundance. • Washington’s ocean waters: Chinook salmon returning to the lower Columbia River will also contribute to fisheries off the coast, said Doug Milward, ocean salmon fishery manager for WDFW. About 126,000 lower river hatchery chinook are expected back this season, about 15,000 less fish than last year’s return. That led to the reduction in limit on the lower Wind River, announced two weeks ago by the WDFW. Those salmon, known as “tules,” are the backbone of the recreational ocean chinook fishery. “The numbers of lower river chinook are slightly down from last year, but it’s still a pretty good return,” Milward said. “Add to that the expected increase in lower Columbia River coho numbers, and we should see great fishing in the ocean this summer.” • Coastal bays and rivers: For the secondstraight year, fishery managers are expecting a strong return of wild coho salmon to many of Washington’s coastal streams, including the Queets and Quillayute rivers, as well as those flowing into Grays Harbor and Willapa Bay, said Ron Warren, regional fisheries manager for WDFW. “Coho fishing started off slow in those areas last year likely due to the lack of rain but picked up later in the season,” Warren said. If predictions hold and weather cooperates, Warren expects fishing to be good througout the season. • Puget Sound: Another strong run of coho salmon will boost fisheries in Puget Sound, where millions of pink salmon also are expected to return this year. About 880,000 coho are forecast to return to Puget Sound streams, about 150,000 more fish than last year’s forecast. “Fishing for coho was really good last season, and we expect much of the same this summer,” said Ryan Lothrop, Puget Sound recreational salmon fishery manager for WDFW. In addition, more than 6 million pink salmon are expected back to the Sound this year. Most pink salmon return to Washington’s waters only in odd-numbered years. “It’s a pink year, which is a great time to introduce a friend or family member - especially children - to salmon fishing,” said Lothrop. “Fishing this summer should be similar to 2011, when anglers were catching limits of pink salmon throughout the Sound and its rivers.” Summer/fall chinook salmon retur ns to Puget Sound are expected to total about 264,000 fish, similar to the last few years. Most chinook fisheries in Puget Sound, where the bulk of the return is hatchery chinook, will be similar to last year, Lothrop said. Meanwhile, a Lake Washington sockeye fishery is unlikely this year. The sockeye forecast is about 97,000, well below the minimum return of 350,000 sockeye needed to consider opening a recreational fishery in the lake. However, fishery managers will once again consider sockeye fisheries in Baker Lake and the Skagit River, Lothrop said. State, tribal and federal fishery managers will meet this week in Tacoma with the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) to develop options for this year’s commercial and recreational ocean chinook and coho salmon fisheries. The PFMC establishes fishing seasons in ocean waters three to 200 miles off the Pacific coast. The PFMC is expected to adopt final ocean fishing seasons and harvest levels at its April 6-11 meeting in Portland.
