We’re ALL over the web

It was in the fall of 1990, and Corky Broaddus, then public information of-ficer for the Lake Wenatchee Ranger District, was riding a car with a pair of fisheries biologists. You see, there

was a Forest Service fisheries biologist workshop happening at the time. Soon, the two biologists began brainstorming ideas about special event for a natural resource.

The ever curious Broaddus could not help but overhear the discussion. And as she pondered the possibilities for such

an event, she could not help but notice the bountiful run of summer chinook salmon coming coming up the Tumwater Canyon.

Then came the epiphany. “As we drive up the canyon, I think.....

that’s it!!,” Broaddus recalled. “Look at those salmon! Maybe this event should be about salmon.”

And so it was, the idea for a Salmon Festival was hatched.

The following fall, in 1991, a modest Wenatchee River Salmon Festival was produced at the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery. Some 2,500 people at-tended. There were some Indian dances, a fish tent, a couple guitar players, and a hatchery tour. It was considered a suc-cess at the time.

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

“Multiply that by 30 times,” Broaddus said, comparing this year’s festival to first one. “We have 35 activities on kids day alone. Now we have 94 classrooms from 30 schools, from the Canadian bor-der to Zillah. We never stopped growing or trying to make it better.”

Planning that first one was quite an endeavor, as Broaddus soon found out. She took her idea to Greg Pratschner,

then the Leavenworth Hatchery Com-plex Manager. He thought the hatchery grounds would make an ideal place for the festival.

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

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

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

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

Heavy rains accompanied the start of the steelhead season on the Wenatchee and Columbia rivers last Wednesday. Art Viola, a fish biologist with Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WSDFW) said the heavy rains may have induced the steelhead to run up upstream sooner.

“In general, the steelhead move up the tributaries when they get the rain,” he said. “It will make a little bit of differ-ence. It will encourage more steelhead to go up the Wenatchee and Entiat

Rivers.”Typically, Viola noted, the good fish-

ing on the Wenatchee does not come until later in the year. Right now, the Columbia River might be the best bet to catch a steelhead. Still, it is highly likely the rains induced some steelhead to come up the Wenatchee, so fishing may not be a complete bust.

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

A homeowner shot and killed a 160-pound mother bear Thursday eve-ning at 7776 Icicle Road.

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

Rich Beausoleil, the bear and cou-gar specialist for the Washington Fish and Wildlife Department, based in Wenatchee, said the incident was en-tirely avoidable.

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

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

He found the bear between him and his dog.

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

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

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

“We don’t have a lot of information right now,” said Dan Kelly, assistant manager at the Washington Grow-ers Clearing House Association in Wenatchee. “They’re in the middle of harvest and no want wants to talk.”

But, he said, all indications are it’s go-

ing to be a good harvest. Not the best, not the worst, but somewhere in between.

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

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

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

The tariff on fruit shipped to Mexico remains an issue for selling the fruit, he said.

“It’s not going away anytime soon. That has to be done through Washing-ton, D.C. Easier said than done,” Kelly said, “but we’ve been able to live with it until now. It’s one of the negatives and will probably slow down our exports to

Preserving the land for generations to come can also mean inviting the public to hike, bike, horse and bird — if it’s done right.

That’s the balance the International Mountain Biking Association’s trail crew believes they have figured out. The crew will be in Leavenworth Sept. 16-19, at the invitation of the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust, to put their theory to the test.

IMBA’s trail program, sponsored by Subaru, sends two teams of experts

around the country each year to lead trail-building sessions and work with residents to improve mountain biking opportunities.

“The land trust basically applied for and was able to get IMBA to come to Chelan County for a weekend of learning about sustainable trails,” said Bridget Egan, the land trust’s interim trails coordinator.

The crew’s visit will start with a social event at 6 p.m. Thursday at München Haus in Leavenworth.

On Saturday, from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Barn Beach Reserve, the IMBA crew will teach locals to build trails that last and require minimal maintenance. Lunch will be provided to attendees. From 1 to

The savory smell of finely prepared salmon wafted through the Lions Club Park recently. It was the first Wenatchee River Salmon Festival Salmon Cook Off. Seven restaurants participated, Wild Huckleberry, Cafe Christa, JJ Hills, Good Mood Food, Idyllwild Inn. Tumwater Inn, and Haus Dog Kaffee and Tea.

Previously, the festival produced a salmon dinner event called, Salmon-chanted Evening. But this year, Festi-val Director Betsy McIndoe thought a salmon cook off would be a worthwhile venture.

“It’s more local,” she said of the cook off. “It’s just easier for us to put on. It just really gets Leavenworth more involved. It’s right in the middle of town. It’s great for the farmers’ market. There’s built in audience for both.”

The cook off was held Sept. 2, in the park adjacent to the weekly Bau-ermarkdt, or Leavenworth Farmers’ Market.

The judges were Leavenworth Mayor Rob Eaton, Jim Craig, Rhona

Letters to the edItorWhen bad things happen

I recently took an ill-advised trip onto my high and steep roof. Ropes securing the roof ladder failed and I slid about 25 feet down a 12/12 pitch roof and fell about 15 feet to the ground. Witnesses to the accident immediately called 911. The Lake Wenatchee based Aid 113 arrived within ten to fifteen minutes followed shortly by Aid 111 from Leavenworth and per-sonnel from Fire District 9. I was transported by Aid 113 to Cascade Medical Center in Leavenworth where the emergency room staff diagnosed multiple fractures in the calcaneus bone, a hairline compression fracture of the T-12 vertebrae and other areas of se-vere bruising. Recovery will be a prolonged process after surgery in which 9 screws were put in place to re-assemble the calcaneus.

From the moment they arrived, the responders of Cascade Medical and District 9 provided calm, pro-fessional and reassuring care. The emergency room staff was thor-ough and correct in their exami-nations and diagnosis. This could have been a much worse situation but I think the folks in this area should be aware of and appreci-ate the medical response that is provided us by Cascade Medical, from the EMT’s and Paramdedics right up through the emergency room personnel. My words are inadequate to convey the grati-tude me and my family owe this dedicated group of professionals. Thank them sometime when you see them- they do a great job for us all when bad things happen.

PEACE-PEACE! BAH-BAH!

Indeed I failed to quote the website “Tears of Jihad” - www.politicalislam.com/tears/pages/tears-of-jihad/. My error and apol-ogy, however, I don’t apologize for the truth of the barbarity of Islam.

Those who love to use the Cru-sades, which occurred a 1000 years ago, and thereby compare Christi-anity to 1400 years of Islam’s terror by the sword, fail to recognize the following: The Crusaders sought to deliver Jerusalem from Muslim

control and also murdered Jews as “Pope the innocent III” practiced Jihad, the deception of Islamic theology by promising, “Kill a Jew and go to heaven.” What an abomination in the name of Jesus Christ!

Roman Catholics at least have apologized and gone through many reformations for centuries. However, I dare you to find a single historical record of a Muslim system or nation admitting or apologizing for their atrocities committed in the name of Allah, - as you won’t find it! Muslims defend their so-called honor as admitting Islam’s ruthless con-quests as wrong, never mind evil, would mean they are dishonoring Allah and Islam. Just for one, to this day Turkey has refused to call the slaughter of over 1 million Armenians genocide, although historians agree this mass-murder under the Ottoman Turkish Em-pire was the first genocide of the 20th century.

Furthermore, those who com-mitted barbarity in the name of Christ did so in direct opposition to the example of the person and teachings of Jesus. To this day he is the example, the perfect god-man of Christianity. In contrast, Muslims who commit barbarity do so by following their master Mohammed. One who raided cara-vans. A murderer slaughtering tribes after deceiving them with false peace treaties and took the wives and raped them. He even married Kadisha, a 6 year old and consummated his sexual rights when she was only nine. To this day, he is the example, the perfect man of Islam. Now, religious or not, Mohammed is no example by any stretch of imagination and no prophet as they were holy people living separated lives. Of course, I should be killed for speaking against the prophet, “dishonoring” his name although I am merely and simply speaking the truth of his life recorded in their own books, the Hadith.

Islam not merely a religion: Those who speak about the consti-tutional right of Islam, obviously ignore our founding fathers who assured separation of church and state so that what began in Europe under the Roman Catholic Church would never occur here, as this system controlled nations, with re-ligious, political, economic, legal,

social and military components. Why not admit Islam is not

merely a religion, it is a constitu-tion - a theocracy, a system of law called Sharia, with religious, eco-nomic, legal, political, social and military components, however it is much worse. Muslims are not only commanded to submit every knee to bow to Allah, either will-ingly or by force, but submit the whole earth under the constitution of Islamic Sharia Law, to establish their one world religion and gov-ernment. This is their idea of peace on earth! Although a threat to any nation and in violation against our constitution, Islam freely operates under the mask of mere religion within the USA and other western nations. Therefore, it is in total opposition to our Constitutional right of freedom of religion, yet defended by the politically correct bunch. Soon it will backfire!

As stated before, Mohammed laid low in the beginning lacking power, spoke of peace, then in Medina became a conqueror, Jihad warrior. For this reason Islam practices abrogation, meaning; the later verses supersede the earlier. No wonder, it is ok to preach peace -peace, until their bah-bah turns into a roar! After all, they follow their perfect example Moham-med.

Social Security safeFor those in this column who

have been critical of Social Secu-rity as being “bankrupt” or who are having heartburn over it be-ing too “socialistic,” here’s a few reminders:

SS is not slated to hit the wall [when benefits exceed collec-tions] until 2037. Currently, SS tax is capped at 6.2 percent of the first $106,800. Meaning someone who earns double that pays half the rate and someone who earns ten times that pays 1/10the rate, while the primary income of our wealthier citizens-investment income-is not taxed at all by SS. How socialistic is this?

As well, the Congressional Budget office estimates if the cap was eliminated, the 2037 wall would be pushed out to 2075. And if investment income were not exempt, there would be no Social Security crisis ever and benefits

could increase significantly.The Republican solution? Pro-

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

The real opposition to Social Security is corporate America, represented by such groups as the US Chamber of Commerce. Be-cause if the income cap were lifted for earners, the fear is it might also be lifted for employers.

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

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

Mark LindstromLake Wenatchee, Wash.Publisher’s response: Mark,

interesting way to look at this, but what happens if the politicians continue to rob the plan? Also, what would happen to a corporate manager who mismanaged their employee’s pension plan as badly as our robber baron politicians? Oh, that’s right they would be in jail.

Respect for his abilityIt was wonderful to see my

friend Bill Slusher get a nice “call out “ in the paper. We often differ in our political opinions, but I have a huge amount of respect for any-one that can sit down and write a novel. Much less five of them! As to his ability to write fiction, I have no doubt he’s good, as I’ve been reading his letters to the editor for several years now, and fiction is his specialty.

MuslimsIn reference to the letter by

Keith Guenther in the Aug. 25 is-sue, sir you sure have your head in the sand (or somewhere else)

when it comes to Islam.The Quran/Koran states that

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

If Islam is a religion of “peace and friendship,” what is the evi-dence? Hamas in the Gaza strip fir-ing indiscriminate rockets into Is-rael? Girls being doused with acid in Afghanistan for the “crime” of attending school? A couple stoned to death for adultery in Iran?

In short, you are full of bull.Verne LietzPeshastin, Wash.

Not one size fits allBack when I was a journalism

student had I ever wanted to find an editorial rant that violated nearly every ethical rule of what is considered the test of a free press I could not find a “better” example than Publisher Forhan’s editorial (Aug. 26).

Rather than “journalism” his column is the raving of a dema-gogue who appeals to ignorant emotions and prejudice. He sees no difference between “Islamic terrorists” and the millions of peaceful Muslims who worship basically the same God Christians do.

“Liberals would eliminate the Second Amendment” - I challenge him to find one credible “liberal” organization that advocates such action. Preventing nuts from hav-ing guns or the belief the average American doesn’t need a machine gun in their garage is not advocat-ing doing away with the Second Amendment!

Mr. Forhan sees an “Islamic cul-ture of hate and intolerance” - if he believes himself to be a Christian using his “one size fits all” judg-ment on a whole people we would have to conclude all Christians (like him) belong to a culture of hate and intolerance.

Wouldn’t be fair would it?William F. JohnstonTacoma and Chesaw, Wash.

Atlantic Monthly reporter Jef-frey Goldberg recently inter-viewed former Cuban President Fidel Castro and reported that according to Castro, “communism no longer works for Cuba.” Of course by Friday he was denying the statement saying his comment was misunderstood. First he said he was joking, then he said he meant to say capitalism doesn’t work. Whether he was joking or confused doesn’t really matter because 50 years of communism

has clearly not resulted in a higher standard of living for the Cuban people.

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

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

Let’s just look at one really local example. The Mexican govern-ment imposed 20 percent tariffs in April 2009 on a lengthy list of American exports after Congress killed a pilot program that allowed a limited number of Mexican trucks full access to U.S. high-

ways. That new tariff contributed to a $19.7 million decline in the value of Washington agricultural products exported to Mexico last year according to the Washington Department of Agriculture.

Why was the pilot truck pro-gram killed? Unionized American truckers protested the program. Now Washington growers and the Washington state economy are being heavily impacted by the inaction of a union controlled Congress and President.

After complaints from Wash-ington growers, Mexico lowered the tariff on potatoes to 5 percent but then added apples to the list to be taxed at 20 percent.

Democrats are always blaming private industry for taking jobs overseas, but they never blame themselves or the unions for the harm they do to private sector jobs.

The truth is that in a worldwide economy every policy we enact has an impact on the lives and the livelihoods of each one of us. Some of those policy changes are posi-tive and some are negative.

Our economy can be restored but only if our leaders are will-ing to quit blaming American business for the problems and recognize we all need to work together to restore the power of the American economy. Policies of increasing regulation, exces-sive taxation and demonization of profit as a fair return for business risk has not worked to improve

the economy. In fact, our country has enjoyed its greatest economic progress when private industry has been encouraged and sup-ported.

Think this is just another of my radical right wing rants? Well consider the following letter I received this week from a local producer. Then decide if our lead-ers are doing everything they can to insure our farmers have a level playing field in the global market for their crops.

Please help with pear tariffWell, here we are again in Pear

harvest. Like last year, our liveli-hood is greatly affected by the Mexico Tariff. Even more farm-ers are going to go bankrupt this year. Did you know that processed potatoes are also subject to a 20 percent retaliatory tariff, as are pears and cherries. In the last two weeks even more tariffs have been added. The new Mexican tariff on apples alone will cost Washington tree fruit growers over $44 million dollars in 2010-11.

You may know that Bob (Boyd) made a trip to Washington DC with other farmers and talked to many folks about getting this tariff issue resolved. So far no one in DC has listened or lifted a finger to help.

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

tion gets worse.I’ve included some other details

below about the financial and job losses in the last few months. It does not just affect pear grow-ers. It’s a huge ripple effect. It’s the workers. The grocery stores where they buy their food, and it’s the whole town’s economy. It’s the whole state economy.

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

Officials at the Washington State Potato Commission blamed the U.S. Congress for the plant closing, because a cross-border trucking program with Mexico was terminated and that gener-ated “retaliatory tariffs” and “decreases in exports.”

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

the state potato commission, in a statement.

Linda BoydPeshastinPS: Here’s a letter that was sent

last year in hopes that someone would listen and work on the problem:April 9, 2009Gary Locke, SecretaryU.S. Department of Commerce1401 Constitution Avenue, NWWashington DC 20230

Dear Secretary Locke,The Washington Growers

Clearing House Association is a non-profit tree fruit grower association with approximately 2,135 tree fruit grower members in Washington State.

As a result of recent US Federal action, Washington State apricot, cherry and pear growers find themselves caught in a trade dis-pute between the US and Mexico. Because the 2009 US Omnibus Appropriations Act (Section 136) eliminated the U.S./Mexico cross-border truck safety inspection program (previously agreed to as partial compliance with NAFTA) Mexico has decided to punish apricot, cherry and pear growers with a 20% tariff.

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

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

of Washington State.Especially during this world-

wide economic downturn Wash-ington growers, shippers, market-ers, affiliated suppliers and their employees can ill afford signifi-cant reductions in their incomes.

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

It is crucial that prompt ac-tion be taken to eliminate tariffs. Growers stand to lose more than $3.5 million in the remaining three months of this season. Please act fast to resolve this issue.

Thank you.Kirk B. MayerManager

Cindy Rarick, a 25 year veteran of the LPGA, is sponsoring an upcoming tourna-ment at the Leavenworth Golf Club, the sec-ond annual Cascade Couples Championship. Rarick and her partner Gary Seidler own the nearby Silvara Vineyards, so she frequently practices at the Leavenworth Golf Club.

“Sally Sebring asked me if I would be in-terested in sponsoring,” Rarick said. “They said it was for the high school golf team and I am supportive of that. So many good things have happened to me in golf. It’s a great op-portunity for young people.”

Proceeds from the Cascade Couples Championship are to benefit the Cascade High School Golf Team. Cascade Golf Head Coach Randy Alexander said he became very excited when heard the news.

“I am happy because this hasn’t happened before,” Alexander said. “It will be good to have funds for things that may arise. Maybe we could play an extra match. It’s very highly appreciated.”

Cascade High School Athletic Director Elia Ala’ilima-Daley said the money would likely go into the golf team fund set by the Cascade Booster Club. Proceeds could be used for a variety of things including golf shirts, clubs, and golf lessons.

“Leavenworth is a small town, so I am sure funding is short for the golf team,” Rarick

said. “I have travelled all over the world play-ing golf and it has been very good for me. It teaches so many things in life.”

Rarick’s connection to North Central Washington began five years ago when she and Gary met a couple from Wenatchee who invited them to come visit.

“I had never been to eastern Washington,” she said. “But when we saw this area, we thought, ‘What a spot!’”

In subsequent years, Gary came up to Wenatchee and spotted some acres in Peshastin he thought would make a good location for a winery, and thus became Sil-vara Vineyards, which has been open about 11 months now.

Rarick, who still maintains a home in Ari-zona, liked the idea of a opening a winery.

“I thought it would be great to get involved with, and would be a great new career,” she said. “I am real social through golf.”

And since building the winery, Rarick has discovered Leavenworth and the Leavenworth Golf Club.

“I love Leavenworth and love that golf course,” she said. “Leavenworth (Golf Course) is one of the prettiest settings I have ever seen. I find it to be a lot of fun. I just wish it had a driving range.”

The Arizona native, who was a five time winner on the LPGA Tour, is now competing on the Legends Tour, similar to the Senior Tour for the men. So, that keeps her pretty busy. In fact, she will be flying in from Boston so she can attend the Couples Tournament.

The Cascade Couples Tournament is Sat-urday, Sept. 25. at the Leavenworth Golf Club. Those interested in playing should contact the Leavenworth Golf Club at 548-7267.

Meeting of Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2010Great things are happening in downtown Leavenworth. The

Leavenworth Bavarian Village Association meets at 8 a.m. on the first and third Tuesday of every month at King Ludwigs Res-taurant. Please make plans to attend our meetings-we need the downtown merchants to be involved and give us their input.

The BVBA was established in 1997 so downtown merchants could unite together to solve problems and promote the business community.

We had another informative meeting lots of new ideas.The Share Golf Tournament went really well. There were a

lot of good golfers and they raised a lot of money for the afford-able housing. Hope you plan to attend next year’s Share Golf Tournament.

We had an update from Frank Calipresti on the downtown walking accordion. If you would like to donate to the walking accordion please call Cary Sanger at 548-4857.

We had an update from the city and they have another picnic bench and table on order for the downtown park. The two benches that we have there now are working out great.

Some people have commented they buy their food and sit down with other visitors and have lunch or whatever and meet new people.

The Chamber of Commerce and the BVBA have decided to make November Military Month in Leavenworth. If anyone has any ideas on what we can do please let us know. Most have decided a percentage discount which most give now, but for the month of November, maybe giving a bigger discount. This is just one idea. If you have something please bring it to our next meeting.

We discussed having signs. Ken Kohnhorst brought to our attention at the prior meeting, the “All American City” signs on both ends of town this will be voted on at our next meeting. Some thought maybe even having the “Number One Christmas town” put up too and several other suggestions.

Elsa Meinig and Julia Gerhardt spoke to the crowd about the Christkindlmarkt that it will be held outside next time. There was a discussion about closing off Front Street, but some were against it. It was brought to their attention that closing off the Front Street would lose customers. And the contention was that small children during the lantern parade would be in danger of passing cars. That will be worked out with the committee and the city.

Bob Francis talked about the Amber Leaf Theater held at the Icicle River Middle School and encouraged everyone to come out to the play after Autumn Leaf Festival.

Last, but not least, the Salmon Festival this year is supposed to be one of the biggest events ever. Some of our merchants are putting out discount coupons for people who visit.

We are talking about busses coming back to Leavenworth again. We are trying to head up a delegation to talk to the tour directors from Seattle to Chicago now that we have the train. Did you know there was a bus in town all the way from Ohio last week? They stayed for two days and were very impressed with our town. We talked to the bus driver and he said there are a lot of bus companies that would love to come to Leavenworth from the Midwest. We have received the information and will follow up on more bus tours to our town.

The BVBA will be putting on a golf tournament next May. We need volunteers and a committee to head this up. We are talking about giving away some really nice prizes as well as a new golf cart for a hole in one. For more information on this please see Cary or come to our next meeting. Our next meeting is Sept. 21, 2010. Tony Kaiser will be giving us an update on the new ice rink.

We would like to invite the business community to our meet-ings. It is an informal setting and we welcome your comments and concerns. Our goal is to make the downtown retail area a usable and valuable asset to locals and tourists.

See you at the next meeting Tuesday, Sept. 21.For information contact Cary Sanger at 548-4857.

for the cubs, but space is tight. If space is not available at one of the two state certified facilities in the region (one in Western Washington and the other in Boise, Idaho), the cubs will have to be euthanized.

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

“There are bears and rac-coons there because there’s food.

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

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

The incident is being investi-gated by state Fish and Wildlife. No arrests were made.

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

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

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

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

5 p.m., the IMBA team will help volunteers build a new trail sec-tion on the land trust’s Mountain Home property. Participants are asked to wear work clothes and workboots and bring tools — in-

cluding picks, loppers, shovels, grubbers.

Egan said the land trust has identified a stretch about a mile long that would be suitable for a sustainable trail. But whether it will be completed depends on how many show up for the work

party, she said.“The trail we have planned,

maybe a mile or so, has spectacu-lar views of the Icicle and into the Peshastin drainage,” she said. The trail would climb from the edge of the property to a view-point. She said other trails have

been developed on neighboring properties.

Once completed, the trail would be available for non-motorized use — hiking, biking, birding and horse riding.

The property was acquired by the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust about two years ago and is an important wildlife migration cor-ridor, she said.

“We have taken field trips to the property before, some geol-ogy trips and birding trips. This is an opportunity to think about where we want to build trails and how to build them,” she said.

The event is free and open to the public. Registration is required for the workshop and work party, though. Call 667-9708 or visit www.imba.com/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=54.

Egan said early registration shows about 20 volunteers, but “the sky’s the limit.”

Once the trail complete, the IMBA visit wraps up with a day set aside to ride local trails.

IMBA is based in Boulder, Colo. According to its website, the nonprofit group’s mission is to create, enhance and preserve trail experiences for mountain bikers worldwide.

The Chelan-Douglas Land Trust is a private, nonprofit orga-nization based in Wenatchee. It’s mission is to create a community that conserves and cherishes the land, water and way of life through voluntary land agree-ments, education, partnerships, stewardships and well-planned growth. For information, see www.cdlandtrust.org.

The Cascade Education Foundation (CEF) is hosting its annual fundraiser, “Back to School” Barbecue at Lions Club Park in Leavenworth this Saturday. The event is the single largest fundraiser for the foundation each year.

CEF Board President Ken West says the foundation contributions to the school dis-trict are needed more than even during these tough economic times.

“It’s probably more important now,” he said. “We started after a levy failure. Now, because of the economy, it is needed desper-ately. We purchase a lot of items the school district just cannot fund.”

Some of the recent foundation contribu-tions include, Mobys and Clickers teaching aid, Brain Pop learning device, field trip to Central Washington University for seniors interested in college, and funds to help start the Cascade High School Dance Team.

“We try to help with things that cover the

most amount of students,” he said. The fundraiser barbecue began when the

foundation was created some years ago. In recent years, it was dropped but the founda-tion board saw fit to revive the popular com-

munity event. More than 300 people attended the function last year.

This year also provides an opportunity to meet the new Cascade School District Super-intendent Steve McKenna.

“It’s an opportunity to meet the superinten-dent and mingle with friends and support the schools,” he said.

The menu features steak, chicken and all the fixings. There will also be games for the kids.

“We’ll have game, face painting, and some surprise booths. It should be fun for the kids,” he said. “Plus, there is a dessert auction.”

Anyone who would like to contribute a dessert to the auction is invited to bring it to the barbecue, West said.

The Cascade Education Foundation “Back to School” Barbecue is planned for Saturday, Sept. 18 at Lions Club Park from 5 to 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the event. Cost is $15 for adults, $10 for students and $5 for a kids hot dog meal.

can teach our neighbors about.”All along Broaddus says it was

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

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

With education as the corner-stone, USFS employee Susan Thomas came on board in 1993 as the education specialist and help shaped the educational founda-tion of the festival.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In 1994, devastating fires hit the Leavenworth area, mainly in the Icicle Canyon near the hatchery. Since the hatchery was a base camp for the fire crews, present-ing a festival that year was very much in doubt.

In the end, Broaddus and com-pany had only six weeks to pres-ent the festival. They decided part of the festival would focus on the fires.

“It was such a shattering event for this community, I realized we have to have this,” Thomas said. “We need a meeting ground. It was reunion and tying in and an amazing educational opportu-nity. Wedge Mountain was still smoking.”

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

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

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

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

“It’s always hard to try and

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

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

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

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

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

“Children who attended Salm-on Fest in the early days are now parents bringing their kids,” Heath said. “The commitment and passion of the early partners was critical to making the Salmon Fest a reality. Today, it has be-come a nationally recognized environmental education event that annually reaches thousands of children and adults in the U.S. and Canada.”

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

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

“This has been one of the pre-mier models for other natural resource events around the coun-try,” Broaddus said. “It was one of the first ones. The manual shows our organization, our timelines, our partners, programs, leader-ship. We did economic studies and visitor surveys.”

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

The one person that has nur-tured the festival since it’s begin-ning is planning to retire. Corky Broaddus is retiring, but insists she is not saying goodbye to the festival.

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

double the 10 year average,” he said. “We’ve made the limit four hatchery fish and you have to keep them. Having hatchery fish in the stream does nothing for the wild fish.”

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

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

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

He admits it will be hard to catch four steelhead in Wenatchee River, but considers the Columbia River limit very reasonable. He believes the Methow River will have some good fishing as well.

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

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

The rules include the use of single, barbless hooks. Bait cannot be used in the Wenatchee River, but is allowed on the Columbia. If a wild fish is caught, it is not to be removed from the water or handled in any way. These fishing rules supersede any of the fishing rules, Viola said. Most important is that anglers keep the hatchery fish. Catch and release does not help them accomplish their goal.

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

“Every wild fish at Tumwater Dam gets transferred above. The best spawning areas are above,” he said. “We would like to get enough wild fish up there to completely seed it.”

To date, nearly 800 wild steelhead have been counted going over the Tumwater Dam.

The two overall goals for the Wenatchee River are to boost wild fish numbers so they will not go extinct. The other goal is to mitigate for Columbia River dams. This is why the hatchery fish are being raised.

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

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

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

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

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

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

“A long time ago, when we had a steelhead season every year, guides marked this as one of the best streams around. It’s renown,” Stroup said. “People will target this area. Making the Wenatchee River as a year round destination to fish is one of Trout Unlimited’s goals”

The limited amount of public access for boats to the river is a problem, Stroup admits. He said his group is now trying establish a new access point near Dryden Dam.

Mexico, which is our number one export.”

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

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

She said the harvest started about two weeks later than nor-mal due to the cold, wet spring, and individual pieces of fruit are a bit smaller than average size.

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

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

In June, Pear Bureau North-west estimated the 2010 harvest for Washington and Oregon to be 8 percent smaller than last year’s record-breaking crop. Part of the reduction was because of the unseasonably cold spring weather and that trees needed to take a rest after a record produc-tion year.

The Pear Bureau has export promotions in 39 countries. The top export markets for USA pears are Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Russia, the UAE, Columbia and Hong Kong. India is a growing market.

Baron, Dave Graybill and Isaac Kaplan Woolner. Graybill, better known as the Fishing Magician, thought the event turned out quite well.

“This was fantastic. I can’t think of a better or more appro-priate thing to do than a salmon cook-off to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Salmon Fest,” he said. “We got great participation for the first year, getting seven restaurants here.”

The variety of dishes impressed the judges, and made the decision that much tougher.

“It was not easy to come up

with a winner,” Graybill said. “We saw a lot of variety. We all have our favorite way for preparing salmon. We saw a whole bunch of good ones. It was fabulous.”

Sheila Bergren, who has been a volunteer at the hatchery for more than 20 years, thought the even went really well, especially the dedication of the judges.

“What impressed me was how serious the judges were,” Ber-gren said. “They took their job serious. It was so much fun. With the Food Channel, people are really thinking about what they are eating. I think they did a wonderful job.”

The winning dish was a “maple

salmon” made by the Wild Huck-leberry Restaurant. For Graybill, it was the simplicity of the dish that impressed the judges the most.

“This recipe stuck with the judges because it was done in a very simple way, probably a very traditional way,” he said. “It brought out the salmon flavor and impressed everyone.”

The second place finisher was “salmon cooked over applewood” by JJ Hills.

New Leavenworth Hatchery Complex Manager, Dave Irving, came away impressed.

“The cook off was great. There is a special feeling here. People

are excited,” he said. The event also featured several

small Salmon Fest fundraisers, including a silent auction.

McIndoe said they put the event together with the intent of continuing it next. This time, there were only Upper Valley restaurants involved.

“We invited some Wenatchee restaurants but they declined. Hopefully, next year we can get more restaurants from down valley involved,” she said. “The dishes were all wonderful. It turned out great.”

Heartbreak Pass comes to Cashmere

Submitted by Candace Egner

On Sept. 18 at 7:30 p.m., the Cashmere Com-munity Coffeehouse is proud to open its 2010-2011 season with one of the hottest and brightest Blue-grass bands in the Northwest. Heartbreak Pass, a five-piece from the Spokane area, was such a hit at our Wenatchee River Bluegrass Festival’s gospel show this year we asked them back to kick off our new season. With Stan Hall’s rock solid rhythm and spot-on flat-picking, Bonnie Bliss and her driving bass, they are joined by Kevin Pace’s red hot mandolin, Austin Little’s amazing banjo and Barry Ehlert with some of the best fiddling you’ll hear; it’s a solid lineup of talent. These folks have

won individual awards and raves for years, all starting out in music when they were youngsters and coming together some years ago, adding big vocals and sweet harmonies. Heartbreak Pass opened for Rhonda Vincent and the Rage this summer to rave reviews.

The performance is at Cashmere Riverside Cen-ter, 201 Riverside Dr. in Cashmere. A cover charge of $3 per person at the door helps cover expenses. Refreshments are provided. The musicians are paid by a one time hat pass, a suggested donation of $8 to $11 per person is appreciated.

Doors open at 7 p.m. For information call Marie, 548-1230, or Chuck, 548-8663. The Coffeehouse is on the web at www.CashmereCoffeehouse.com.

oBItuArIesFloyd Rayfield

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

Floyd was born on Sept. 6, 1920, to George Newton and Martha Ellen (Barnes) Rayfield at Sevier County, Tenn., where he received his early education. From 1937 to 1939, Floyd was in Gatlinburg in the Civilian Conservation Corps. After leaving the CCC’s, he mar-ried Pearl I. Justus on Aug. 12, 1939, at Sevierville, Tenn. In 1940, they moved to Geauga County, Ohio, where he worked for a vault company. In 1942, they moved back to Sevierville, and in 1943, to Leavenworth where Floyd worked for the Peshastin Lumber and Box Co. on the woods crew. In February of 1944, he enlisted in the United States Navy and served in WWII. After receiv-ing his honorable discharge in September of 1945, he moved back to Leavenworth where he went back to work for Peshastin Lumber and Box woods crew, retiring in 1982.

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

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

Thomas Magna Olson

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

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

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

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

about, the one that inspired the most vision, and the one he worked the hardest at. His time at Cougar Inn, his staff and his customers gave him great joy. That was the time in his life when he was having the most fun of all.

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

He leaves behind his wife of 30 years, Dodee, and the person he treasured the most, daughter Nicole Olson of Mukilteo, his sons Darrell and wife Donna Moser of Cashmere, and Doug and wife Cari Moser of Lyn-nwood who worked and played right beside their dad at Cougar Inn.

He also leaves behind his mother Marcie Olson, Mount-lake Terrace, sisters: Beverly and husband Heinz Prast, Dal-las, TX, Patricia Newton, Cash-mere , Cindy Olson, Mill Creek, three grandchildren Cameron, Jordan and Raegan Moser.

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

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

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

game,” he said. “We always have slow starts so that was a nice way to get the game started.”

Naches, which ran the pistol offense, moved the ball some on the first two possessions, but the Kodiaks defense kept them at bay for the most part.

After a Naches fumble early in the second quarter, Cascade quarterback Dan Betz found Ethan Nash in the corner of the endzone for a 27-yard strike to make it 14-0 Cascade. On their next possession, Cascade marched downfield 63 yards on 10 plays. Wood scored from 11

yards for the first of his four touchdowns on the night.

Cascade led 21-0.After a blocked punt on the

next Naches possession, Cascade punched it back into the endzone with just 36 seconds before half-time. It was an 8-yard TD run by Wood to make it Cascade 28-0 at halftime.

While the offense was showing mightily, Daley was very pleased with his defense on the Rangers varied attack.

“For the most part, our back-ers and D-line did a good job of keeping things in front of them,”

he said. “We were just attacking. They did an outstanding job of getting into the backfield. Nick Wood at defensive end. His speed was causing some problems for their blockers.”

In the third quarter, Nick Wood raced 34 yards, making a couple nifty moves on potential tacklers, to score yet again. It was now 34-0 Cascade. Then, on the next pos-session, it was Wood again, from 48 yards for the score to make it 41-0 Cascade.

Capping the scoring was Dwight Stoddard III with a straight ahead 35 yard run. And Alvarez again,

playing with mostly second and third unit players, who ran it in from 47 yards out.

The lone Naches TD came with mostly subs in the game.

“The offensive linemen did a good job of getting out,” he said. “The tackles were getting those down blocks.”

The Kodiak defense was stel-lar, holding Naches to just 124 yards in total offense. Conversely, Cascade racked up 419 yards in total offense, 318 rushing, and 101 passing. Cam Williams had 62 yards rushing, Geoffrey Linn had two catches for 41 yards.

With a punt block, and kickoff return for touchdown, Daley was quite pleased with the play of his special teams.

“Just like any coach, I try to explain the importance of spe-cial teams,” he said. “We have struggled in practice with that. I even extended practice because of that.”

Next up: Cheney.Cascade (2-0) finishes off their

non-league schedule with a game at 2A Cheney this Friday.

“We are pretty excited,” he said of playing Cheney. “The first couple games were good to get some younger players some confidence. Cheney is going to be our toughest opponent. It will be a good gauge for league play.”

Daley hopes his team will gain some confidence playing again a team like Cheney.

Cheney is 1-1-1 with a win over Priest River (21-14), a 7-7 tie against Priest River, and a 14-12 loss to Peninsula.

Freshmen girls showing promise By Nevonne McDanielsStaff writer

The Tonasket Invitational on Saturday gave Casdade Ko-diak’s cross-country coach Dayle Massey an opportunity to see what his team is capable of and how to focus practices this next week at Whidbey Island.

“They’re in decent shape now,”

he said, “so we’re going to focus on getting them going faster and pushing it more.”

The boys’ team came in fourth overall in Tonasket, but was miss-ing Jake Whitten and Paul Hartl for this meet.

“That certainly would have helped if they were there,” Massey said, but others stepped up.

Cristian Rivas, a junior, took 10th place in the 2.8-mile cross-country run with a time of 17:39, leading the boys team.

“He’s going to get better and better, the more experience he gets racing,” Massey said.

Sophomore Michael Olmstead placed 18th with 18:24.

The girls’ team came in third overall at the invite with a rela-tively young team. Four of the six runners are freshmen.

“This was their first meet, so they were seeing what it was like to run in high school. They did well,” he said.

Charlotte Massey placed 16th with a time of 22:36, just missing out on a ribbon (given for 15th). Andrea Chavez crossed the fin-ish line at 23:20, finishing 21st, and Mady Harris finished 25:55. Junior Michaela Barich, who finished 23rd with a time of 24:43, and senior Julia Anderson, who finished at 31st with a time of 26:56, were both fighting injuries and health issues, Massey said.

The Kodiak’s next challenge is the South Whidbey Invitational on Sept. 18, followed by the Lib-

erty Bell Invite on Sept. 21.Tonasket Invitational Sept. 11

Nearly everything went right

for the Cascade Kodiaks in their convincing 54-7 win over Naches last Friday night in Peshastin. The defense played well, the of-fense played well, and the special teams played well. All in all, it was a good night for the young squad.

And it was the Nick Wood com-ing out party. The junior speed-ster overcame a disappointing performance against Sultan to rush for 117 yards and four touch-downs on just five carries.

“After last week, that was

good to see,” said Head Coach Elia Ala’ilima-Daley of Wood’s performance. “That is what we expected from him since the summer. It was nice to see him get the opportunity and take advantage.”

But Wood is not the only weap-on in the Kodiak offensive arsenal. Sophomore Fabian Alvarez, who wears the number 82 in remem-brance of his late brother, former Kodiak standout Ramiro Alvarez, took the opening kickoff to the house, 80 yards to paydirt.

For the normally slow starting Kodiaks, that was a positive sign for Coach Daley.

The Cascade Kodiak girls soccer team started the season off in fine fashion with a convincing 7-0 over Chelan on a rainy day last week in Leavenworth. In what is likely to be a familiar theme for the Kodiaks this season, sisters Hannah and Hailey Ziegler combined on the first goal of the season just nine minutes into the contest.

“Zig and Zag, we call them,” said Cascade Head Coach Colin Powers of the Ziegler girls. “They are unbelievably fast. They both have great dribbling skills and trapping skills. They both relent-lessly pursue the ball. They never give up. It’s awesome. With their speed, they are always a threat to break through the defense.”

Hannah Ziegler scored four goals in the opening win over Chelan, Hailey scored one. Car-oline Ward had the other two goals.

I was expecting this type of game because Chelan only had 15 girls eligible,” he said. “They can play us tough. We are fast. That never slumps.”

Cascade had 15 shots on goal

versus just three for Chelan. The aggressive Kodiaks did rack up 13 fouls in the game too.

Last Thursday, Cascade trav-elled to Yakima to take on the defending state champions from LaSalle. The Lightning flexed their muscle in this one, beating

Cascade 5-1. “They are an outstanding soccer

team,” he said. “They are locked and loaded for another run at State. They are big, strong and fast. Any facet of the game, they were stronger. But the girls didn’t come out the game depressed. They said, ‘that is the level we want to play at. That’s where we want to be.’ ”

The morning before their next game, Powers said the team watched the LaSalle game film. He said they saw the benefit of not forcing the ball in. It seemed to pay dividends as Cascade scored an impressive 3-2 win over a talented Highland team last Saturday in Leavenworth.

“We are not going to sell High-land short. They are extremely fast. But they were one dimen-sional,” he said. “They had one really good player. We focused at halftime to take away that threat. She was getting frustrated because our defense was focused on taking her out of the equation.”

Highland standout Alyssa Wick-enhagen opened the scoring five minutes in the game. But the Ko-diaks came back to tie the game 1-1 at the 35-minute mark as Hannah Ziegler banged one in off the assist from freshman Ariel Rayfield.

Zig and Zag were at it again just

a minute later, as Hailey scored off the Hannah assist to make it 2-1 Cascade. Just two minutes before halftime, Wickenhagen struck again to tie the game at 2-2.

“We made some positional changes late to adapt,” he said. “We moved Caroline back from her midfield position. That was a good fit. And we had some fresh-men step up.”

One of those freshmen, Haley Hassinger, provided the winning margin with her rebound goal at the 70 minute mark off the Ward assist. Cascade held on the final 20 minutes for the win.

Cascade outshot Highland 12-10. Goalie Annika Enloe had eight saves.

“This kind of game means more than a 7-0 blowout. This is the kind of game that you remember,” he said. “You fought your way through it and showed your heart. Our freshmen really played their hearts out.”

Next up: Cashmere.Cascade played Quincy at home

Sept. 14, but results were not avail-able before press time. The next match is Tuesday at Cashmere. Powers, who has yet to beat the defending league champs, knows what is at stake.

“You want to be the champs, you have to beat the champs,” he said. “I think we are every bit as good. We’re anxious. We’re looking for-ward to it.”

After playing Cashmere the past couple years, Powers has learned a few things.

“I’ve learned that Cashmere likes to attack the corners against us,” he said. “It’s worked for him (Cashmere Coach Dennis Tron-son) and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I see him doing the same. But I don’t think he is going to be ready for our speed. Our speed of play is much better this year.”

Typically, Powers designs some-thing tricky for the Bulldogs, but this year he is “playing his cards close his chest.”

“I want to run under the radar and pop up when it’s too late,” he said.

Photo submitted by Marni McMahonThe Cascade Volleyball team celebrates their victory in the Sundome Tournament last Friday in Yakima. The Kodiaks beat Lynden Christian in the finals 2-1 to win the championship.

By Ian DunnEditor

Any thoughts of another out-

standing season for Cascade Kodiak volleyball were solidified last Friday as the team won the Sundome Tournament Champi-

onship. It was the first action of the

new season for the team, but not the first action of the year. The

club played an extensive and successful summer campaign in 2010. That experience seemed to play big dividends in Yakima last Friday as Cascade beat Se-attle Prep, Heppner, Kings Way Christian, Bear Creek, Newport and Lyden Christen on the way to the title.

Head Coach Marni McMahon said it was a great experience for her team.

“Especially being on the cen-ter court in the dome, just like State,” she said. “This is a huge momentum builder for us. If we can keep playing good volleyball, this experience will help us.”

In the opening match, as part of pool play, Cascade faced off against 3A Seattle Prep, and won 25-16 and 25-18.

From there, the Kodiaks moved on to play Heppner, a school from Oregon. Cascade again won in straight games, 26-24 and 25-20.

Cascade finished off pool play with another straight game win over Kings Way Christian of Se-attle, 25-16 and 25-19.

“Depth is huge thing for us and it definitely showed. Every girl contributed,” she said. “Toward

Kodiaks begin season as tourney champsthe end, our outside hitters, Ari-elle Turner and Audrey Nichol, were siding out and Tori Smith, our Libero, did a great job of keeping the ball in system which allowed us to run our offense. That was huge.”

In the quarter finals, Cascade outlasted Bear Creek 25-22, 25-21. In the semi-finals, Cascade matched up against a very solid team from the NEA League near Spokane, Newport. The Kodiaks won 25-18, 25-21.

It is likely Cascade will meet Newport again in the 1A play-offs.

In the championship game, Cascade met up with 1A power-house Lynden Christian. In the summer, Cascade beat the Lynx in five games so the team knew another tough match lay ahead.

It was a close first game, but Cascade squeaked it out 25-23. In another close game, it was Lyn-den Christian winning the second game 24-26. In the final deciding game, the gritty Kodiaks held for the 16-14 win.

“The experience factor was huge,” she said of the close win over Lynden Christian. “We have been there many times. We have been in this situation many times. We have played Lynden Christian and Kings. All these big games with high level teams have pre-pared us. Learning how to win in those tight situations. Hopefully we can keep doing that.”

McMahon praised the serving of Jordy McGregor and Dakota Rieke, and the strong play of underclassmen, Kelsey Graham and Hannah Cowan.

“They played like upper class-men,” she said of Graham and Cowan. “They did some really good things and made some great

plays.”

First league match: Chelan

Even McMahon admits playing their archrival in the first league game of the season is not ideal. But the way Cascade is playing, she feels the timing may be just about right.

“We are coming off a strong summer and the Sundome expe-rience,” she said. “I think these girls are ready for the challenge right off the get go. It’s going to be a battle.”

The past four years, either Cascade or Chelan has won the league championship. Typically the winner of the head-to-head match ups will take the title. Last season, Chelan won both games against Cascade on the way to the league championship.

Gone is sparkplug Kelly Bow-ers, but the Goats do return seven starters including star forward JC Harris. Most fans know the stakes are high in this match, which typically draws the largest crowds of the regular season.

“There’s a lot of talk. The girls are excited. They get just as jacked up as we do,” she said. “They are ready to play. Hope-fully we can control our unforced errors and get some defensive stops on JC and control the game.”

Results for the Chelan match were not available before press time. Other matches this week for the Kodiaks include at 4A Wenatchee on Thursday and at 2A powerhouse Selah on Sat-urday.

School bond discussed

Photo by Nevonne McDanielsCommunity members talk with school officials and architects about construction projects proposed to be paid for by a bond election that goes to Cascade School District voters in February. This gathering at the Peshastin-Dryden Elementary School Sept. 7 was the first of four community meetings designed to gather public input on the construction proposals, which range from $71.8 million to $63.4 million and include replacing Cascade High School, building a new elementary school to replace both Peshastin-Dryden and Osborn schools and replacing the heating and cooling systems at Icicle River Middle School. A phone survey to gather more information is set for the end of September or early October. For information on the proposals, go to cascade.wednet.edu and click on “pre-bond info.”

At 67, I have never felt better. I work as hard as ever with a new and exciting job, and life continues to evolve. Two years past the “retirement age,” I feel nowhere near my prime. Unfor-tunately, the arbitrary cutoff age that defines 65 as elderly causes many of us problems. Although it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of age, it is more difficult for an older person to find employ-ment, and the 65th birthday is often used as an arbitrary line indicating a person is too old to undertake certain activities or be eligible for certain medical pro-cedures. The reality of age bias in medicine can have devastating consequences for healthy but older patients.

Recently, I met an outstanding new patient. Truly fit, happy and beautiful, she was my contem-porary -- a 1943 baby. Unfortunately, this pa-tient had developed a life-threatening ill-ness called interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, a disease in which the lung converts to scar tissue. The condition is untreat-able, leads to increasing short-ness of breath and eventual de-pendency on oxygen to breathe. She had been evaluated at one of the finest health care centers in America and was told that her treatment options were limited. Although a lung transplant could improve and even save her life, she was ineligible for the opera-tion because she was over the age of 65.

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

major determinate in a physi-cian’s assessment.

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

This beautiful woman with lung problems has a highly productive life expectancy of 20 years or longer. She should be an ideal candidate for surgery, but performing the procedure on

another person with the same condition who is overweight, has diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and chronic renal disease would probably not be appro-

priate. In other words, age is not important; the presence of other illnesses, known as comorbid conditions, are most relevant.

More than some fad catch phrase, 60 truly is the new 40! It is time to change our view about aging. Baby boomers will soon reach age 65 and must be treated equally to those decades younger. But we must also ask, why retire, why no longer learn, why no longer contribute and why not run for public office?

In the field of medicine, age is merely one factor in a long list of health considerations. Even those in their 80s and beyond must be treated aggressively if warranted and appropriate. Medicine is an art and a science -- in some cases, the reasons to treat the “elderly” with certain procedures may change.

Remember, age is only a num-ber. Your health depends not on how many years you lived, but in-stead how well you lived them.

The first years after Chelan County’s birth in 1899 were almost without road funds.

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

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

for construction or upkeep. The county’s streams and can-

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

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

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

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

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

on the list included Logan, Duncan, Nelson, Sears, Drum, Batchelor, Henry and Siverly.

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

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

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

It was scarcely easier to ob-tain a bridge in the early years. Leavenworth merchants, in need of a river crossing to bring Blewett miners to town to shop, construct-ed their own in 1898. The bridge

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

Often these structures were short-lived, thanks to the snow-melt water roaring down in spring. Leavenworth’s bridge washed out in 1906, as did others downriver. By then, steel bridges were in place, which could be moved to other places when a concrete bridge was built. For a good many years, a steel bridge did yeoman’s service over Chumstick Creek on North Road.

Leavenworth once had a steel bridge leading to the East Leavenworth Road farms. It was no longer needed when South Road was built to Peshastin, connecting to the new road at Leavenworth built on the abandoned railroad right-of-way, which is now part of Highway 2.

The concrete bridge erected then is still in use, though wid-ened.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I enjoy conversing and catching up with other folks in the res-taurant business. It’s fun to exchange stories and share opinions, new ideas, etc.. There definitely is never a dull moment in this field and the scene is always new and exciting. Jim Bristow and I caught up while watching our youngest sons’ football jamboree on Saturday and he informed me the Big Y Cafe has extended their hours on Friday nights after the home football games. What a great idea! If the spectators didn’t get enough hot dogs and snacks while watching the game they can get a wonderful hot meal afterwards just down the road. The football players have a great local hangout for fifth quarter after the home games too. Next time you’ve got a craving for a juicy burger, homemade soup, delicious chicken......followed by world-class pie (am I making you hungry yet?) or a hearty breakfast made to order, stop by the Big Y Cafe in Peshastin. It’s only a five minute ride from downtown Leavenworth and yes, they have ample parking.

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

Pineapple Zucchini Bread3 eggs 2 cups finely shredded zucchini 1 cup vegetable oil 1 can (8oz) crushed pineapple, drained 2 teaspoons vanilla 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons baking soda 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup chopped nuts 1 cup dried raisins or currants, optional In a bowl, combine the eggs, zucchini, oil, pineapple and vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients; stir into egg mixture just until moist-ened. Fold in nuts and raisins if desired. Pour into two greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes clean. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Cool at least 10 minutes before removing from pans. Makes 2 loaves.

“Minutes after you plant a single seed, hundreds of zuc-chini will barge out of the ground and sprawl around the garden, menancing the other vegetables.”—Dave Barry, (1947- ), Pulitzer Prize winning journalist.

I attended an all-staff meeting with the folks at the National Fish Hatchery in Leavenworth, where the final details of The Wenatchee River Salmon Festi-val were being discussed. I have been closer than usual to what takes place at Salmon Fest and am amazed at what the hatchery staff; their partners and volun-teers are able to provide for the schools and the public. Over 10,000 people are expected to visit the hatchery grounds on Sept. 18 and 19 and what they can see and do while they are there is what keeps them coming back year after year, just like me. There are so many activities for the kids I just can’t list them all here, and there is a much expanded out-door recreation area that adds to the list of things to do; like kayak-ing, pellet gun shooting, archery, snowshoeing, fly casting and ty-ing and more. Probably the most amazing thing about Salmon Fest is that it is free. That’s right, there is no charge to enter the festival grounds and no charge for the ac-tivities and stage presentations. You can learn more about what is planned for this 20th Anniversary of Salmon Fest by logging onto salmonfest.org.

The opening day of steel-head season was not terribly

exciting in the Wenatchee area. Heavy rain greeted anglers on the Wenatchee River, and not only that the river was very muddy from Cashmere on down to the mouth. I heard that only 30 anglers were checked on the Wenatchee and they had taken on five wild fish and one hatchery steelhead. Much better weather is in the forecast now, and I will be interested learning how an-glers did over the weekend. One thing is for sure; the success rate will pick up as more fish enter the Wenatchee and other rivers on the upper Columbia. If you want to have the best chance at success, you’ll want to attend the seminar at Town Ford on Wednesday, Sept. 22, beginning at 6 p.m. Shane Magnuson will be there talking about his proven bobber and jig techniques, and we are lucky to get another great speaker at the seminar. Brian Nielson of BJs Guide Service. He has been featured on Fishing the West, Columbia Country and American Fisherman. He has also been featured in many newspa-per and magazine articles and has been on the Pro Staff with Hyde Drift Boat for eight years. Nielson will describe his proven techniques for pulling plugs. It’s going to be great, I hope to see

you there.

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