Citizens planning Chelan’s futureSurvey, public meeting to shape strategic planning, budget processBy Erinn UngerStaff Writer

‘Cities don’t happen by chance’ is the tagline for Chelan’s Strate-gic Planning Committee, and the committee isn’t trusting Chelan’s future to just anyone — they’re leaving it to the locals.

An online survey garnered more than 150 responses and officials sent paper surveys in residents’ water bills.

The open house this past Wednesday drew a small group of “high-interest” individuals passionate and vocal about the city’s future, said facilitator Ar-lene Abbott.

“The outcome is that we did garner additional community information, even though it was small,” she said.

Rangers have acresof forests to burn

Submitted by Kyle CannonColumbia River Fire Management Officer

The Chelan Ranger District is planning prescribed fire activities beginning in late September to reduce hazardous fuels build-up located in the wildland urban interface near Chelan.

A total of 450 acres are scheduled for prescribed burns on the north shore of Lake Chelan and 400 acres are scheduled for the south shore.

Additional areas may be scheduled if weather and smoke conditions allow.

The areas on the north shore planned for treatment this spring are located north of Chelan in Purtteman Gulch and Bergman Gulch.

The planned areas on the south shore are Forest Mountain, located above the First and Barret creek drainages and Darby Draw, in the vicinity of 25 Mile Creek.

In addition, pile burning is scheduled to begin in Washington Creek, Swanson Gulch, Joe Creek, Coyote Creek, and the Slide

Some business owners say the proposed Johnson Avenue round-abouts will create more traffic problems then they solve. City of-ficials hope they will help regulate the flow of traffic a block of the city’s vital downtown district.

Either way, the City of Chelan Public Works doesn’t want resi-dents to beat around the bush on

the controversial roundabout plan.“We want public input,” said Deanne Reynolds, Public Works’

development project manager. “Negative and positive — we want it all.”

City officials will present the Johnson Avenue Corridor Plan at an open house on Wednesday, Sept. 22, where attendees can circle a series of exhibits, hear a presentation and learn how to navigate through a roundabout.

Residents can write comments about the plan, which includes installing two roundabouts on Johnson Avenue. The plan calls for roundabouts where Johnson intersects with Emerson and Sand-ers.

According to a 2005 city study, roundabouts are the preferred alter-native and the design phase lasted about a year, officials said.

Castrodale wonChelan County Fairwine ribbon

By Vince LovatoMirror Editor

When Bob Castrodale retired from his Grand Coulee lawyer firm 13 years ago, he moved to Chelan to enjoy his life’s pas-sions: his wife, Kathryn, and really good wine.

Castrodale, 73, took up the wine making hobby and became good enough to win the Best of Class for red wine at the 2009 Chelan County Fair.

This year’s fair closed Sept. 12 in Cashmere.

“I like to drink it and I finally got a place and the time to do it,” he said about taking the patient craft. “Kathryn and I lived in France for a year and enjoyed the wine there and when came back and we had a little ground and we had the time.”

Making a good wine is part science, part art, he said.

“You have to be careful not to make a mistake guys trained at Davis have all kinds of adjust-ments they can make,” he said. “But a guy like me, and the way it’s traditionally been, you pick them when they are ripe, or when

you think they are. It’s really like frying a good steak: If you have a good steak just don’t screw it up.”

In a world when instant gratifi-cation is the norm, wine making is a slow process.

Typically a white wine, which is usually fresher than reds, take three or four months to process. Reds take at least six months and

usually the longer they stay in the cask the better they taste because the natural process makes them smoother, he said.

Great wines often take years and years to age but Castrodale believes enjoying wine come from various factors.

“I enjoy a wine that tastes good under the circumstances,” he said.

“It depends on who you’re drinking it with, the occasion, the setting. These real wines from 1996 that’s unrealistic. And you never know what’s going to hit the spot. It comes down to what pleases you.”

A Chelan Falls man called Sheriff’s dispatch Sept. 8 and accused his brother-in-law of stealing his car.

Deputies responded to a Sanders Street address in Chelan at about 4:30 p.m. and found the car in front of the home of Manuel Cortina, the alleged car thief.

Cortina claimed he paid his in-law $2,200 over the course of a year but did not receive any pink slip or bill of sale.

After making all the payments, the Cortina’s in-law asked for the car back. When Cortina refused, his in-law called the cops.

The deputies unraveled the mess with the help of an interpreter and informed Cortina he should have requested a contract or bill of sale.

They informed Cortina that it was a civil matter and he might have to resolve the situation in small claims court.

In an attempt to establish stable and affordable sources of power for the foreseeable future, Chelan County PUD officials are crafting a long-term strategic plan and they are inviting the public to contribute.

PUD commissioners reviewed an update to the district’s stra-tegic plan designed to establish guiding principles for the next five years and beyond as 50-year power sales contracts expire in 2011-12.

“The whole purpose of the plan is to bring process and frame-work to the District’s long-term decisions,” General Manager

John Janney said. “We need to recognize that the choices we make today have long-term fi-nancial implications...and need to reflect our values as employees and as a commission.”

To focus on being efficient, working together and meeting unforeseen challenges, the PUD established four primary objec-tives in the plan:

• Ensure lasting financial sta-bility by developing and imple-

menting a comprehensive, sus-tainable business model.

• Establish and enhance lasting customer, employee and stake-holder relationships.

• Provide valued utility services by responsibly managing service offerings.

• Operate responsibly.Each objective includes specific

strategies to follow and measure-ments to determine if the PUD is on the right path.

The financial measurements for Objective 1 were adopted by commissioners in June as the first step in updating the plan.

Commissioners will start the next three Monday board meet-ings at noon with an hour-long “brown-bag lunch” session for customers to ask questions on any topic.

That will be followed by discus

Flood plan might displace Stehekin River residents

For more information or tomake comments, go to:

www.nps.gov/noca/parkmgmt/srcip.htm

Submitted by Jon RiedelNorthern Cascades National Park

The National Park’s Service has released a draft of the Stehekin River Plan that could force some residents to move out of the flood zone, park officials said.

Park officials developed the plan, which is up for for public review, is in response to the record floods of 1995, 2003 and 2006 and attempts to address the steps needed to continue the implementation of the 1995 Lake Chelan National Recreation Area General Management plan.

“We appreciate the public input over the past three years that has helped us create this draft plan,” said Superintendent Chip Jenkins.

The plan aims to provide high-quality recreational experiences, protect natural and cultural re-sources, support the private com-munity of Stehekin, and establish

sustainable administrative facili-ties, according to a release from North Cascades National Park.

Major elements of the pre-ferred alternative to the Draft Stehekin River Corridor Imple-mentation Plan Environmental Impact Statement include: the relocation of about two miles of the Stehekin Valley Road around flood-prone McGregor Meadows, a change to large wood manage-ment at the river mouth, and a revision of the 1995 Land Protec-tion Plan to update priorities for land protection and federal land available for exchange.

Important elements are car-ried forward from the 1995 plan, including a move of the NPS maintenance facility and some NPS housing on Company Creek Road out of the floodplain.

A long walk: 60 miles and three generations

Carol Simpson doesn’t get bored walking around Manson for 18 miles a day. She has a goal in mind — the Sept. 24-26 Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk for the cure in Seattle.

Simpson, a nine-year breast cancer survivor, will be there as part of Gen-Pac, a three-gen-

eration team of her, her daugh-ter, Penny, and granddaughter, Amanda, all walking 60 miles in three days.

Simpson has been fundrais-ing in various ways, but most recently with the help of local Wells Fargo employees, who have been raffling off tickets for a pair of framed photographs. Wells Fargo Service Manager Emily Castillo chose the winning ticket, which belonged to, coinci-dentally, Simpson’s other grand-daughter, who lives in Alaska.

The race is coming up and time is running out to donate, so go to www.the3day.org.

Her goal is to raise $2,300.“It will be unbelievable,” Simp-

The Chelan Rotary Club award-ed college scholarships to eight outstanding students from the

Lake Chelan valley.The club, with more than 60

local members, gave $12,000 to help with the recipients’ college expenses.

From Manson, Eva Escoto and

Jacqueline Hernandez received scholarship funds.

They joined Chelan students Houston Robison, Derek Brun-ner, Alexander Brown, Adam Hendricks, Brooks Gatzemeier

scholarships is the annual Rotary salmon barbecue.

The Chelan Rotary Club is a member of the largest service club in the world, Rotary Inter-national.

Though the local club works on international projects, including a youth exchange program, it is most visible in its local efforts.

From beautification projects to support for youth activities and scholarships, the Chelan Rotary Club cares, past President Michael Steele said.

The club meets at 11:45 a.m. every Tuesday at Campbell’s Conference Center.


In about two weeks, I will be hefting a pulaski instead of a pen.

I’m leaving the Lake Chelan Mirror to join a trails crew for a year with the Washington Conservation Corps in Olympic National Park.

I’m going from scribbling at city council meetings to sawing fallen trees and spiking out in the back country for eight days at a time. I will also, most likely, be carrying half my body weight in a pack on my back.

It’s a unique transition.I have a degree in journalism. I

was an editor at my college paper and have interned everywhere from The Seattle Times to a newspaper in Greece. I’ve gotten some puzzled looks over the past couple weeks, as I’ve broken the news that I’m leaving. The expla-nation can be difficult to narrow down, but I’ll try.

Essentially, I am in deeply in love with two things — the out-doors and writing. Someday I would like to use my journalism training in the environmental field or specialize in environmen-tal journalism. Right now, I want to wake up with the sun and bed down under the stars. I want to give back by building trails for

others to enjoy. I want to go home with dirt under my fingernails. I want to be challenged physically and mentally in ways I’ve never been challenged before.

I also believe every woman should know how to operate a chainsaw.

My coworkers were always suspicious. I’d head to a story in the woods and never come back. I guess it’s almost like that. As I wrap up my story here, both literally and figuratively, another story begins.

I’ve been given a lot of hugs during the past week and been told many kind things. Though my time here was short, I’m real-izing how much I have been a part of this community, and how many interactions I’ll miss, no matter how small.

What was always most impor-tant to my reporting here was the human element. The humanity present in a story is what gives it heart. That goes for the Chelan Valley too. The lake is beautiful and so are the mountains, and I love them, but it’s the people here who give this place its unique beat.

That warm feeling I got when I first arrived, when someone said “howdy” to me on the street and others smiled, will continue to linger as I think about my time here. And I’m sure I’ll bring it

with me, though I don’t have enough cred to pull off “howdy.” Let’s just say, you’ve rubbed off on me. Now I’ve lived in a small town, and as a source once told me, I’m never going back.

It wasn’t all roses, of course. I made mistakes, had difficult times and bad days, or weeks, at work. But I learned so much and I had such fun. I learned what journalism means to me. I successfully reported on my first board meeting. I learned to take good notes, because recorders will malfunction. I got over my fear of cold calling and taking people’s pictures. I learned what kind of journalist I am and what kind I strive to be. I learned ev-erything is a work in progress, but deadline is deadline. I learned there are still places in America where everyone really does know everyone.

I’m joining a new community in Port Angeles. I’m joining a new crew, with new teammates and new adventures. Like a story, the most interesting trail is often a crooked one, full of surprises, where you’re not sure what’s around the next bend. I can’t wait to find out.

Council holds master planBy Erinn UngerStaff Writer

Chelan City Council chose to hold the final draft of the Down-town Master Plan at Thursday night’s meeting.

Council members want to ex-amine it further and clarify some questions and concerns. They plan to put it back on the agenda as soon as possible.

The Chelan Planning Com-mission forwarded the plan, and their recommendations, to city council after a planning meeting earlier this month.

Planning commissioners rec-ommended the restrictions on professional offices and real es-tate offices be removed, and held the new signage code for further review after a 4-1 vote.

Rangers replacingRamona Creek Bridge Sept. 23

The Chelan Ranger District will replace the Ramona Creek Bridge, in the Twenty-five Mile Creek area of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest from Sept. 23 through Sept. 29, officials said in a press release.

The actual bridge removal and in-stream work will take ap-proximately three days. The road will be closed during the bridge removal portion of the construc-tion. Some work is dependent upon weather and minor delays may occur.

Ramona Creek Bridge is the major entry point to Snowberry Campground and the upper por-tions of the Slide Ridge area.

Queue for the barbecueManson School District staff and students bid goodbye to summer with a barbecue last week, cooking polish kielbasa and hamburgers with all the fixings and enjoying a warm evening at Singleton Park. The district started the new school year during the first week of September, and welcomed a new district office, now next door to the Manson football field.

RANGERS: Have 450 acres to burn near Chelancontinued from page 1

RATE HIKE: PUD wantsto raise $8.3 million

continued from page 1everything from the strengths

and weaknesses of Chelan to how they want to strengthen the economy, and all within the frame-work of eight issues important to Chelan Valley: Economy, parks and recreation, well-planned community, housing, protecting Lake Chelan and the valley, health and safety, arts and culture and transportation.

Part of the meeting was spent looking at what community input has accomplished in the valley, such as the sustainability and housing elements of the Compre-hensive Plan.

“We do make a difference and I want people to know that,” Ab-bott said.

The committee is looking for broad community input, from Chelan residents and those from Manson and Stehekin, since what happens in Chelan ripples out-ward to those communities. The committee also requested that Chelan High School and Chelan Valley Independent School hand surveys out to their students.

“They’re the future residents,” she said. “We really want their input.”

All this is meant to inform the city’s strategic planning process

and budgeting process for 2011, and all of it will be put into a docu-ment for use by the city council during their retreat this month.

The committee’s information gathering focused on the 2008 City of Chelan Strategic Plan, the 2006 Chelan Valley Vision document and the City of Chelan Compre-hensive Plan.

“We are trying to pull together big bodies of work into one cohe-sive effort that would be able to inform us as we are going through the budget process for 2011,” said City Councilwoman Erin Mc-

Cardle during the open house.The survey was formulated

from information gathered in brainstorming sessions held by eight committees for those eight areas.

“We wanted to focus people’s comments on good data that had already been produced,” she said.

The city has been an active par-ticipant, Abbott said, and the City Council is already, “buying in.”

Councilwoman McCardle pushed for this undertaking since she was elected to council.

“The response has been great,” she said soon after the survey went live, getting 24 responses within about an hour.

The mayor, the city council and staff will use the public input dur-ing their annual planning retreat, which the community is invited to attend. The goal at that meet-ing is to set priorities for Chelan and work on the 2011 budget and strategic plan for the city. Then the process will be repeated for the 2012 budget, Abbott said.

“Let’s do this every year,” she said.

RATE HIKESThree evening meetings will

be held in October to discuss a proposed 2 percent electric rate increase to cover the District’s $8.3 million share of the cost of extending access to the fiber net-work to 98 percent of the county. As part of accepting a $25 million federal grant, commissioners agreed to begin the process of increasing PUD electric rates to cover the financial gaps caused by extending the fiber build-out.

The rate meetings will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 11, 19 and 20, at locations to be determined. A rate hearing and final decision would follow on Nov. 8. If ap-proved, the 2 percent increase would be effective Dec. 1.

In other business, commis-sioners:

• Received an update on the wholesale rates charged to the 14 private service providers who

offer Internet access, telephone and video to customers over the PUD’s fiber-optic network.

The PUD is considering an overall 5 percent increase for Internet access, plus upgrad-ing service from 6 Mbps to 25 Mbps and discounts if end-users take two or more “bundled” services.

• Agreed to move quickly on construction of a new hatchery at Chelan Falls to meet goals for providing more summer Chinook salmon under the innovative Habitat Conservation Plan that is part of the new license for Rocky Reach Dam. Total project cost is estimated at $7.7.

• Promoted Kelly Boyd to chief financial officer/chief risk officer Aug. 30. Boyd fills the position left vacant when Janney was named general manager.

The goals of the low intensity prescribed burns include:

• Reductions of downed and

dead fuels to help forest and shrub lands better withstand future wildfires;

• Improved protection of ad-jacent lands located within the community’s wildland-urban interface area;

• Better opportunities for fire-

fighters to safely suppress future wildfires;

• Enhancement of forest health and forage conditions.

Prescribed burning will be-gin when weather conditions permit.

way, counter-clockwise around a center island then turn onto a side street or keep driving through. Four-way stops and stop lights were considered as solutions to the traffic and pe-destrian-safety problems that plague those intersections, as was doing nothing to correct the prob-lems, city officials said. However, roundabouts were found to better address both concerns.

“On the model, they work well,” Reynolds said, after describing the 14 scenarios explored by en-gineers. The roundabouts would be one lane.

“It’s very intuitive,” Reynolds said. “It’s very simple and very efficient.”

There were concerns about truck traffic at those intersec-tions, especially with the tight left turn truckers are forced to make when coming up Sanders and onto East Johnson. The round-about at that particular intersec-tion will look circular from the ground, but is actually an oval, to make that turn easier for trucks. Each roundabout would feature a truck apron. An apron is a raised section of pavement around the center of the roundabout, and is essentially an extra lane for trucks, according to the WSDOT website.

“The back wheels of the over-size vehicle can ride up on the truck apron so the truck can easily complete the turn, while the raised portion of concrete discourages use by smaller vehi-cles,” it continues. Large vehicles with trailers should be able to get through without a problem.

“A big RV towing a boat is what they’re looking at,” Reynolds said.

The speed limit will be 20 miles per hour with the roundabout.

Pedestrians would cross at crosswalks set back from the roundabout and refuge islands would give them a safe place to stop between lanes of traffic. Bicycles can use either the round-about, and ride through as regular traffic, or use the crosswalks.

Residents and city council members were particularly con-cerned about parking spaces and if any would be lost to the roundabout.

Reynolds said that would be addressed at the open house. Parking would still be parallel on the north side of Johnson and angled, head-in parking would be installed on the south side, where there is enough room for drivers to circumvent cars that are pull-ing out of the spaces.

The center of the roundabouts, medians and approaches will be landscaped.

“It’s really going to look nice

and dress up this corridor,” Reyn-olds said. “It’s going to make Johnson seem like part of down-town.”

The Washington State De-partment of Transportation is involved, since the route is a state highway, and has indicated approval of the proposed project, after working extensively with the city.

There was also no need to purchase additional right-of-way for the project, which would have been costly.

“We’re working with what we have,” she said.

The concept plan will go before

the city council for action, and if approved, construction draw-ings and specifications will go to WSDOT, to bid. If all goes well, Reynolds said, construction could start in fall 2011.

The city will use federal funds to pay for then projected $970,000 improvements.

The open house is meant to educate and address people’s concerns, and people can write letters to Public Works as well. “If they have concerns,” she said. “They really need to show up.”

Flags stolen

Dear Editor, The Lake Chelan Lions Club

has been putting up flags down town for several years on special occasions.

This week end five flag were stolen off the light poles in the

business area.We would appreciate it if mem-

bers of the community would help keep an eye on the flags so this type of ridiculous activity does not go on.

Please help with the pear tariff

Dear Editor, Well, here we are again in Pear

harvest. Like last year, our liveli-hood is greatly affected by the Mexico Tariff. Even more farmers are going to go bankrupt this year. Did you know that pro-cessed 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 D.C., 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 re-solve the Mexican Trucking issue. They’ve promised for months, and nothing has been done. Go to www.whitehouse.gov and scan to the bottom of the page and click contacts to send an electronic message or call 202-456-1414. I am in hope that you will pass this on to oth-ers on your email list. We need a huge flood of emails and calls to get some attention before the situation gets worse.

I’ve included some other de-tails below about the financial

and job losses in the last few months. It does not just affect pear growers. Its a huge ripple effect. Its the workers. The grocery stores where they buy their food, and its the whole town’s economy. Its 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 Riv-er in Benton County in south-central Washington. The town has about 5,000 people.

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

“The resulting 20 percent tar-iff 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 April to Gary Locke, Secretary, U.S. Depart‑ment of Commerce in hopes that someone would listen and work on the problem:

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 Fed-eral action, Washington State apricot, cherry and pear grow-ers find themselves caught in a trade dispute between the US and Mexico. Because the 2009 US Omnibus Appropriations Act (Section 136) eliminated the U.S./Mexico cross-border truck safety inspection program (previously agreed to as partial compliance with NAFTA) Mexico has de-cided to punish apricot, cherry and pear growers with a 20 per-cent tariff.

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

from other countries such as Argentina.

Mexico is the number one export market for Washing-ton pears. During the 2007-08 marketing season Washington State shipped approximately 2.6 million boxes of pears to Mexico, worth approximately $48 mil-lion FOB. It is estimated that the tariff will cause a 30 percent decline in Washington pear sales and about 50 percent decline in cherry and apricot sales. The reduction in Mexican demand for fresh Washington tree fruit prod-ucts 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, mar-keters, affiliated suppliers and their employees can ill afford significant reductions in their incomes.

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

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

Thank you.Kirk B. MayerManager

Even Castro admits it – spreading the wealth doesn’t workAtlantic Monthly reporter

Jeffrey Goldberg recently inter-viewed former Cuban President Fidel Castro and reported that Castro said, “communism no longer works for Cuba.” Of course by Friday he was deny-ing the statement, saying his comment was misunderstood. First he said he was joking, then he said he meant to say capital-ism doesn’t work. Whether he was joking or confused doesn’t really matter because 50 years of communism has clearly not resulted in a higher standard of living for the Cuban people.

One would think that our President would be able to use the power of his great intellect to look around the world at the failures of centralized planning

and recognize that fact. But no, Obama continues to use his worn out story that “spreading the wealth around” improves life for everyone.

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

Let’s just look at one really local example. The Mexican gov-ernment imposed 20 percent tariffs in April 2009 on a lengthy list of American exports after Congress killed a pilot program that allowed a limited number of Mexican trucks full access to U.S. highways. That new tariff contributed to a $19.7 million de-cline in the value of Washington agricultural products exported

to Mexico last year according to the Washington Department of Agriculture.

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

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

Democrats are always blam-ing 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 world-wide 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 positive 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 supported.

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

I took a 1,200-mile drive of faith to arrive in this idyllic little town and my owners took a leap of faith to bring here.

I am not disappointed.Lake Chelan is the type of

place I always dreamed of work-ing and living in since before I started raising kids 24 years ago.

Now, with an empty nest, my brave wife said, “go forth into the great Northwest and find us a place to live and play.”

I’ve been here a week now and everyone here has been nothing but receptive to a California refugee.

With the lake, the rugged beauty of the surrounding mountains, panoramic golf courses and vibrant downtown, the playing part will be easy.

But I came here to do a job and my goal is to make the Mirror the touchstone for our community.

I’ve already contacted clubs, churches, schools, fraternal organizations, the Chamber of Commerce, businesses and dozens of private citizens and will continue to invite any group or individual to contrib-ute anything our readers will be interested in.

I spent most of my 28-year career working at large met-ropolitan papers in Southern California and believe, as the digital media expands, the big papers will continue shrink. But community papers that provide the essential informa-tion specifically designed for a small group of interested and

enthusiastic community mem-bers, will continue to grow and remain strong.

The premise is actually pretty simple: Talk to people about what they want to read about and figure out a way to provide it to them.

I will not concern myself all that much with what’s going on in Seattle and Spokane and Washington D.C. You can get that information 24 hours a day,

365 days a year in so many differ-ent ways it can be confusing.

But I want our readers to know that the Mirror will be a two-way pipeline where we invite and accept whatever you think is important and present it in an organized, enjoyable way that makes the Mirror es-sential for locals (Chelanians? Chelanese? Chelanites?) to use, whether it’s the weekly printed paper or our ever-developing website.

We will also report on the news, not always the fun stuff that people want to read but the things we, as journalists and community members, believe you need to know to ensure your kids and our community continue to thrive.

Finally, a fond farewell to

my predecessor, Les Bowen, who graciously and profes-sionally helped me learn about our production processes and introduced me to several of the people who make Chelan work.

So if I haven’t contacted you yet, please call, text, e-mail, tweet, Facebook or just come by the Mirror and contact me in person.

I won’t bore you with my life story. If you must know, please visit vincelovato.com.

If you want to complain, con-tribute, applaud or just talk, please contact me anytime.

[email protected], [email protected], 760-701-2237. I’m on Facebook and Twitter, as is the Mirror.

Thanks for the welcome, now I’m ready for the journey.

Is yours a two-car family? Do you, like me, have a spouse who runs one car nearly out of gas, then takes the other vehicle with the full tank, leaving you stranded? I’m just asking.

Mr. Wright considers himself thrifty when it comes to paying for petrol. So thrifty, in fact, he’ll drive 30 miles out of his way to save a nickel per gallon. He’s also a firm believer in not filling the tank until the gauge hangs a quarter-inch below empty – as if squeezing an additional 50 miles out of the low-fuel light entitles him to a certain amount of smugness.

About that 50 miles—it’s actually more like 43.2. At least, that’s what the trip odometer said as I chugged to a stop in front of the gas pump on my way to work a shift at the local library. “Thank You, Lord!” I sang, then added under my breath, “And curse you, Mr. Wright!”

I called him while the gas was

pumping, ignoring the helpful gentleman who scowled at me and pointed to the sign that warned of the dangers associated with using a cell phone near the pump. “You said 50 miles! I totally ran out of gas!”

“Where are you?” Mr. Wright asked.

“At the gas station.”“You got a ride to the gas sta-

tion?”“No. I ran out of gas at the gas

station.”Mr. Wright issued a loud guf-

faw. “That’s not running out of gas! That’s almost running out of gas. See? I told you you’d have enough!”

Sometimes, that 50 miles past “low fuel” is actually only 40.4, like the other day. I had to run errands and pick up kids. I even at-tempted to purchase gasoline, but Mr. Wright had relieved me of my debit card without my knowledge.

Panicking, I calculated the miles home and back to town. Since we live 15 miles from the nearest gas station, I’d planned on filling the tank before I left town. Sadly, that was no longer an option.

“Ten miles home, plus 15 to town,” I mused. “It’ll be close, but I know now we can eke out 43 miles after the low-fuel light comes on.”

When Mr. Wright ran out of gas about two miles from town with a vehicle packed with children, I responded appropriately. “Re-ally? I was positive it would go 50, sweetheart!”

I wish I could say it’s the econo-my, and he’s being frugal, but the warning bells chimed, rang, and then crashed loudly back when were dating. During one of our many inter-county trips, we ran into a spot of bad traffic on the narrow highway.

“Don’t worry,” Mr. Wright as-

sured me. “I know a back way.”Nervously, I glanced at the fuel

gauge. “How far ‘back’ is it? I think you need gas,” I pointed out.

“Nah… We have plenty of gas. We’ll stop as soon as we reconnect with the highway.”

Ten miles from the highway, Mr. Wright’s old Suburban took its last choking gasps and died in front of a farmhouse. “Huh. I guess we’re out of gas,” my then-boyfriend deduced.

He hopped out of the driver’s seat and sauntered up the sidewalk to the house.

“Sorry to bother you, but we’ve

run out of gas,” he explained to the old farmer who answered the door.

“I got some gas in th’ shop,” the old man said, looking at me through the vehicle window. “That yer wife?”

Mr. Wright shook his head. “No, she’s my girlfriend. I’m kind of hoping she’ll marry me someday, though.”

The farmer sadly shook his own head. “Yeah, well… Good luck wit’ that, son.”

The Manson Trojans started the season with a 25-0 victory over the Cashmere Bulldogs C squad last Thursday. Junior Javi-er Guillen started the scoring for the Trojans with a 75-yard kickoff return into the end zone. Guillen scored again with a 25-yard run in the second quarter. Sophomore Jordan Pittman and Junior Casey Sorenson also added rushing touchdowns.

The Trojans were originally to play Cashmere’s junior varsity squad, but timing and other con-siderations brought the C squad to Manson, head coach Brad Barnes said.

“I was truly impressed with these Cashmere young boys’ courage and spirit of competi-tion,” he said. “By the end of the first half the score was 18-0.”

Senior linebacker Jordan Pitt-man, led the Trojan defense with five tackles, two tackles and two

Trojans topple Cashmere C Squad in season openerfumble recoveries, while Fresh-man Alex Vanderholm had 3 tack-les, 4 assists, 1 sack and caused two fumbles. On the offense end, Guillen had 12 carries for 104 yards, and two touchdowns, Sorensen had four carries for 39 yards, and Pittman had five car-ries for 33 yards.

Manson travels to Oroville on Friday to take on the No. 1 ranked Hornets in the Trojan’s league opener. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

Chelan falls to defending 1A State Champs

Connell High School defeated the Chelan High School Goats, 35-7 at home last weekend.

The Goats only score came on a connection between junior quarterback Michael Amsdel and Robin Weatersby.

“We got into the red zone four times without scoring,” head Coach Darren Talley said. “We’ll learn and get better from this game more than any other we could have played.”

Chelan High School’s boy’s and girl’s cross country teams opened strong in their first meet of the season Saturday in Tonasket. The girl’s team took first place by 4 points over Omak High School and the boy’s team took second behind Republic High School.

Other schools competing were: Lake Roosevelt High School, Cas-cade High School, and Oroville High School. Chelan’s next meet is Sept. 27 at Liberty Bell High School in Winthrop.

Chelan struggled with ball control in the first set and found itself out of system and just try-ing to defend.

In sets two through four the Lady Goats established better ball handling and blocking and were able to have much better flow offensively and defensively. Chelan made 96 percent of its serves.

Their coach was extreme-ly proud of the way the team pushed through a very frustrat-ing start and refocused to play a solid match.

Junior forward Bianca Ramir-ez showed impressive stamina and aggressive play as she tran-sitioned from mid to forward against the relentless Cascade offensive passing game.

Chelan volleyball off to big start

Jaicee Harris posted 24 kills and Olivia Plew put up 26 as-sists to help Chelan High School volleyball rout Wenatchee High School in four matches Saturday (21-25, 26-24, 25-18, 25-23).

Harris had 12 kills and Plew added 17 assists to lead the Chelan Goats past the Cashmere Bulldogs Thursday in three non-league games (25-20, 25-12, 25-21).

The Goats played Cascade Tuesday night, but results were not available at press time.

Chelan travels to Brewster Thursday to take on the Lady Bears at 7 p.m.

On Sept. 7 they traveled to Moses Lake for a non-league contest. Our C-squad, J.V. and Varsity all posted wins.

Scores of the varsity match were 20-25, 25-14, 25-21, 25-16.

Leading in kills for the night was Jaicee Harris with 21. She also had 27 digs and served 20-21 with 8 aces.

• Darcy Austin had 8 kills and 19 digs and served 15/15.

• Abby Phelps had 16 assists,

7 kills and served 11/11• Olivia Plew led in assists

• Courtney Dietrich led in blocks with 7 and had 2 kills.

• Cari Williams had 5 kills and 1 block

• Maghara DePaoli had 11 digs

• McKenna Hawkins had 15 digs.

It was a good match for the girls to play especially having to contend with their 6-foot-4 middle blocker.

Lake Chelan men’s golf club raises $1,500 for scholarship fund

The golf season is winding down for 2010. It has been a great year for the Men’s Club golfers. The course has been in the best shape this year over the last few years. It appears that Don devot-ing all of his time at the course has been significant in keeping the course in excellent shape.

Member-guest tourneyThe Member Guest golf tourna-

ment is the major fundraiser for our scholarship program. In the past few years we have given ei-ther two of three scholarships to

high school seniors in Chelan and Manson. We also thank the many local merchants that donated prizes for the scholarship raffle. This year we made over $1,500 for our scholarship fund.

This year Jonathon Peck and Derek Brunner each received a $1,000 scholarship for college.

This year the Member Guest tournament was attended by 55 locals and 55 guests.

The tournament is a three day event with a practice round on Friday and then the actual tournament scores determined

on Saturday and Sunday. The tournament was a great success. The temperature on Sunday got to above 95 but everyone still had a good time.

First Division winners were Farris/Ballew and McCabe/Ev-ans and first Gross was Young/Whittle.

Classifieds & CommunityRuth Wells

Ruth Wells, a long time resident of Chelan, passed away on Sept. 9, 2010, at Lake Chelan Community Hospital.

Ruth was born on Jan. 30, 1922, in Berlin, Germany, to Hans and Elly Taggesell. Ruth attended school in Berlin and graduated in 1944. After World War II ended in 1945, she lived with her mother in Berlin. In 1948, she met her future husband Alfred Wells. They were married on Dec. 11, 1952. After Ruth came to the United States with her husband, they decided to travel to Washington State. They settled in Chelan in 1955. Ruth worked for over 30 years as an apple packer at various warehouses. Ruth loved to crochet and knit. She enjoyed dancing, fishing and baking pies.

Ruth’s most lasting and meaningful legacy is her family and the love and support and welcoming attitude and smile she always shared with family and friends. She loved to be outside where she could enjoy the warmth of the sun and fresh air and just be with all who knew her. She spent many hours sitting outside as a resident of Bayshore

Court, Heritage Heights and Starr Retirement Home.

Ruth always wore white. “I packed apples with Ruth. We laughed so much it's a wonder we didn’t get fired. She was literally the neatest person I've ever known; never had a hair out of place, make-up was perfect in the morning and at quitting time, and . . . she never got dirty. If she wore white pants to work they were still spotless when she went home. In my mind she will always be young and pretty and lots of fun.”

Ruth was preceded in her death by her husband, her parents and one brother. She is survived by two sister-in-laws, a brother-in-law and numerous nieces and nephews.

A Memorial Service and Celebration of Life will be held at the Chelan Senior Center, 534 E. Trow Avenue, Chelan, on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2010, from 1-5 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

Interment will be in Ash Grove, Mo.

Memorials may be made to the Lake Chelan Community Hospital.

The family would like to thank the staff at Heritage Heights and Starr Retirement Home for the loving and quality care provided; and the medical staff at Lake Chelan Community Hospital for their diligence and attention to detail in her last few days.

The family would also like to thank her friend Marge for her devotion, loyalty, and friendship and always being there with her as a special and unwavering friend.

Ruth will be missed. She was a jewel.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Precht Rose Chapel, Chelan.

I attended an all-staff meeting with the folks at the National Fish Hatchery in Leavenworth, where the final details of The We n at c h e e R ive r S a l m o n Festival 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 volunteers 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 list them all here, and there is a much expanded outdoor recreation area that adds to the list of things to do; like kayaking, pellet gun shooting, archery, snowshoeing, fly casting and tying 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 activities and stage presentations. You can learn more about what is planned for this 20th Anniversary of Salmon Fest by logging onto salmonfest.org.

Monday, Sept. 13

The opening day of steelhead 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 anglers did over the weekend. One thing is for sure; the success rate will pick up as more fish enter the Wenatchee and other rivers on the upper Columbia. If you want to have the best chance at success, you’ll want to attend the seminar at Town Ford on Wednesday, Sept. 22, beginning at 6 p.m. Shane Magnuson will be there talking about his proven bobber and jig techniques, and we are lucky to get another great speaker at the seminar. Brian Nielson of BJs Guide Service. He has been featured on Fishing the West, Columbia Country and American Fisherman. He has also been featured in many newspaper and magazine articles and has been on the Pro Staff with Hyde Drift Boat for eight years. Nielson will describe his proven techniques for pulling plugs. It’s going to be great, I hope to see you there.

Wednesday, Sept. 15

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