135 YEARS OF CONTINUOUS PUBLICA TION Tourism council to form Goldendale, Washington WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 2014 Vol. 135 No. 2 75 cents LOU MARZELES EDITOR An unusual gathering of Gorge-area civic, business, and government representatives met Monday night at the Goldendale Library to discuss formation of a Klickitat County tourism advocacy council. Leading the meeting were executive directors of the Greater Goldendale Area Chamber of Commerce Earlene Sullivan and Mt. Adams Chamber of Commerce Tamara Kaufman. The featured presentation on the topic was provided by Melody Johnson of Falcon’s Crest Inc., a package tour facilitation company. In the audience were representatives from the office of U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, The Dalles Chamber of Commerce, the Small Business Development Center at Columbia Gorge Community College in The Dalles, Klickitat County Economic Development, and civic groups and businesses from Trout Lake, Lyle, Bickleton, and Goldendale. “There’s a real atmosphere of cooperation in the area these days,” Kaulfman said. “People are getting it that, ‘Oh, if I help my neighbor, everybody benefits.’” Driving the formation of the council was the prospect of bus tours coming into the area, the antici- JUSTIN BRIMER FOR THE SENTINEL LIVES TRANSFORMED: Tammy Nadler and David Bromeley sort clothing at the Father’s House’s new homeless shelter.

Most interesting stories of the year See Council, Page A2 This week continues The Sentinel’s look at the top stories of 2013. May 2013 Store reopens with surprise support Attics tend to be forgotten places, and Aimee’s almost was. Just a few short months ago, Aimee Waddell, owner of Aimee’s Attic in downtown Goldendale, was facing the bleak realization that she was going to have to close her store at Columbus and Main. Today—literally, May 1—the store reopens with a remodel, which includes a totally new business model based on a stunning generosity of spirit. “We were in a position where we were ready to close within a week,” Waddell recalls. “It was so bad.” That was in January, right after the store experienced a dismal Christmas sales season. “We had about 30 percent of what we usually have at Christmas.” But the trouble had been brewing for some time. Summer of 2012 was when the writing first appeared on the wall. “I thought, well, we’ll get through,” Waddell says of that time. She held out hope for the holidays that was never fulfilled. Pressure was on her, not just for the survival of her store but for the responsibility she felt for her 1,100 consignors whose merchandise was sprawled throughout the store. Klickitat Vandals softball team headed to State ANDREW CHRISTIANSEN COOL WAY TO START THE YEAR: There were two strategies played out at the Polar Plunge, Jan. 1, at Maryhill State Park. Most of those above had the “get it over quickly” plan, dashing into the 42-degree water. Many finished off the run with a dive followed by a quick scramble out of the water. The other strategy was a slow stroll, as if trying to adjust to the cold. There were 68 brave souls at this year’s Polar Plunge. Air temperature was 33 degrees. The event is sponsored by Central Klickitat County Parks and Recreation (CKCPR). The event raised $1,498 for CKCPR programs. Klickitat is headed to State. It was a long way to travel to face off against rival Lyle-Wishram, but the Lady Vandals left no room for doubt, defeating the Cougars 13-2 in Ellensburg on Friday. The win puts Klickitat in the State 1B tournament that starts this Friday at 1 p.m. at the Yakima Sports Complex against Colton. June 2013 GHS 2013 graduates walk a different path According to Principal Clay Henry, students had been asking for an outdoor venue for graduation for quite some time, and the idea to look into holding the 2013 graduation at the amphitheater first came to him while attending a concert there last summer. When approached with the idea, winery owners Craig and Vicki Leuthold jumped at the opportunity to show their support for the community, and use of the grand venue, which has hosted perfor mances by such legends as Willie Nelson and B.B. King, was given to the school at no cost. This time music was provided by Doug Siegel and his group of middle and high school band members. Local man receives double lung transplant On June 28 last year Cliff West and his wife Patty were informed that Cliff had Pulmonary Fibrosis. He had no idea he had the disease until earlier, in December the year before, when he got bronchi- tis and was unable to get rid of his cough. He went in and got X-rays; only in June was he informed that he had Pulmonary Fibrosis—and was in its end stages. After being diagnosed, West had to be on oxygen when he was active. He was on 15 liters of oxygen, a high level, but that didn’t stop him. He stayed active and by doing so stayed fit and healthy. Field Day showcases Schuster ranch To be a success in the cattle business, you have to be in it for the long haul. It’s an adage based on the cyclic nature of the cattle industry and this year’s Klickitat County Cattlemen of the Year honorees, Clay and Lauren Schuster, personify that kind of commitment. Not only do they carry on the tradition of raising cattle in Klickitat County, they are perpetuating a devotion to Hereford cattle that started with Clay’s grandfather back in 1938. The Schusters hosted friends, family and those associated with the cattle industry with a field day on Saturday, a tradition for the local affiliate of the Washington Cattlemen’s Association (WCA). The field day began at the original ranch, east of Goldendale and concluded with a barbecue dinner and program at Glenwood where the Schusters keep cattle through the summer. See News, Page A2 Goldendale’s homeless now have a warm place to sleep, a kitchen to prepare food, and a place to shower and do laundry. A local church, with help from the community and former recipients of aid, can offer emergency shelter, a hand up, and hope for the homeless. Father’s House Fellowship has recently completed Goldendale’s only emergency homeless shelter. The church has long offered services to the area’s needy. Their basement, in the building of the former Goldendale Christian School, is a mini-social services office. It has a large room of clean, warm clothes, to anyone in need, a kitchen open to people who need hot food and rooms that have doubled as storage and boarding facilities for those in need. After completing a bathroom remodel and accepting donations of beds and bedding following a Dec. 18 article in The Sentinel, the church can officially accept a small family that has nowhere else to go. This coupled with other services in Goldendale, have helped those on the brink of homelessness, return to successful lives in this community. Tammy Nadler was a meth addict for more than 20 years before a persistent church visitor helped turn her life around. “This lady from the church kept coming by my apartment and knocking, and knocking, and knocking,” she says. “And I was always high and didn’t want to answer it.” Nadler recalls she was living with her daughter and had been given an eviction notice. She was on the brink of homelessness. She finally answered the door. Nadler accepted the invitation to visit Father’s House of Fellowship, which soon turned into her home while she battled the demons of addiction, she recalls. She sent her daughter to live with her mother but couldn’t quite kick the meth habit. “Then one day the church elders brought me into their office and said, ‘Look, we know you’re still on drugs; either shape up or ship out,” she recalls. “I knew what meth had given me, and I knew it wasn’t good,” she says as she folds clothes in the church’s large clothing storage room. “So I got help, tur ned my life around, and never once looked back.” Nadler has been working at that church for more than 3 years, organizing and running the offices. She says a transitional housing program offered by the Washington Gorge Action Programs was imperative to her improvement. Once off meth for six months, WGAP See Shelter, Page A5 A2 — JANUARY 8, 2014 News GOLDENDALE, WASHINGTON from Page 1 July 2013 Hundreds of lunations later, Stout retires Steve Stout’s career has been astronomical. Ask him how long he was at the Goldendale Observatory before he retired last Friday, and he doesn’t give your common answer. He responds with lunations, the full phases of a moon cycle, each being 29.530589 days (or 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, and three seconds). He was at the Observatory for some 400.5 lunations. “Do the math,” he said at a special ceremony Thursday at the Glass Onion honoring him for his service. No one pulled out a calculator. “That’s 32 years, four months, and 22 days,” completing the task for the lunation-impaired. Thursday Stout talked about his career in Goldendale in more terrestrial phraseology for the earthbound members of his audience. October 13 this year marks 40 years since the Goldendale Observatory was opened regularly to the public, so Stout’s connection with it extends all but eight. of those years. Pulitzer-Prize winner paints verbal portrait of Goldendale There’s nothing like observations from a Pulitzer Prize-winner about one’s hometown to snap a person to attention—especially when his comments appear in a new book receiving national attention at this very moment. Phil Caputo strolled into The Sentinel office in July of 2011, and an interview with him ran July 20 that year. Caputo is perhaps most renowned for his 1977 memoir of Vietnam, A Rumor of War, which has sold some two million copies and was made into a TV miniseries. In 1972 he won a Pulitzer Prize as part of a team of journalists covering voter fraud in Chicago. He was passing through Goldendale as part of his epic driving tour with his wife, Leslie Ware, of the U.S. from Key West to the Arctic Ocean, an odyssey chronicled in his new book, The Longest Road, just released from publisher Henry Holt and drawing rave reviews from the American literary illuminati, and for good reason.Prize as part of a team of journalists covering voter fraud in Chicago.

Fire hits home a second time-Smoke wafting over the Simcoes—again. The sight was foreboding, particularly since much of the area around Goldendale had spent almost two years recuperating from the Monastery Complex Fire. But there it was, a billowing column of pale smoke drifting slowly to the east, Wednesday, July 24. Known as the Mile Marker 28 fire, first referred to as the Satus fire, then the Shinando Creek fire. People who name fires for a living opted for the point on US 97 close to where the fire erupted that led to the closure of that highway, which stopped traffic between Toppenish and Goldendale. Spillover traffic clogged alternate routes, choking Bickleton which watched in shock as motorists zooming at scary speeds passed semis across double-yellow lines. August 2013 Marc Boardman retired and then went back to work. Boardman, who has lived in Goldendale for 18 years, left the Washington State Patrol (WSP), where he’d worked since 1985, on June 21 this year, exactly 28 years to the day of service to the state of Washington. He became undersheriff of Klickitat County on July 10. He retired from the WSP so he could take the new job. Active shooter exercise for downtown raises safety concerns Klickitat County Emergency Management will conduct an active shooter exercise Sept. 27, on Main Street from Columbus to Golden Street. While previous active shooter scenarios have been conducted by law enforcement for law enforcement personnel, this one instead focuses on city businesses and their preparedness in dealing with such a situation. The purpose of the exercise is to encourage local businesses to prepare for a possible disaster. WWII reenactment group comes to Goldendale History enthusiasts from a group called RKKA Northwest represented the Russian Army at a weekend-long combat reenactment event held Aug. 9-11, on property owned by the Horseshoe Bend Ranch west of Centerville. County offers qualified support for bus tour concept The latest move in an effort to bring bus tours to Klickitat County and Goldendale occurs Sept. 10, when a meeting of businesses and interested parties takes place in Lyle. The plan is being developed by the Greater Goldendale Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of Goldendale, in conjunction with called Falcon’s Crest, a com- pany specializing in bus tour events. Package travel, as such bus tours are commonly called, are seen by many as a significant opportunity for the area to help stimulate economic growth because the average motor coach that stays in a community for 24 hours brings in between $10,000 and $15,000 in area income. September 2013 Of ficer hit, suspect killed in Biggs shootout Shots were fired Thursday between an Oregon State trooper and a motorist in a brief but deadly roadside drama near Biggs. The of ficer, Trooper Matthew Zistel, 26, had pulled a vehicle over on I-84 for speeding. The driver of the vehicle, identified as John Van Allen, suddenly jumped out of the car and fired multiple shots at Zistel, who was hit in the side. Zistel returned fire and hit Allen once in the chest before calling for assistance. Allen returned to his car and drove away, getting about a half mile further up the road before pulling over to the shoulder. When found later by other troopers, he was deceased and slumped over the wheel of the car. Relay for Life draws 261 walkers Goldendale hosted its very first Relay for Life on Saturday. 261 walkers registered to participate on 16 different teams for the 24-hour event, which raises funds for the fight against cancer. $26,000 were raised by participants in the Goldendale event this year, with $3,700 of that being collected at the relay event itself. SAR sets rare winter training Klickitat County Search and Rescue (SAR) is gearing up for an extra recruiting and training cycle this winter and is looking for a few good men and women. King has been the SAR Coordinator since 2007 and says that their current volunteer roster could stand to have its ranks beefed up. A group of trainees is usually put through the certification courses every other year; nine men and women graduated from the course just this last April. Police find stolen goods and strange plot twists in local robbery Burglarizing a home of guns and cash is the kind of story that gains notice. The only thing bigger is the quick action of local police who wrap up the case in less than three days. The burglary reported last week in The Sentinel was solved by the time the paper hit the stands. The crime occurred because one person wasn’t paid for the drugs he delivered to two other people. It was a crime of convenience whereby one criminal saw a way to coerce others to commit a burglary to raise money to buy more drugs. LOU MARZELES TOURISM COUNCIL GATHERING: Melody Johnson of Falcon’s Crest Inc. speaks to a meeting Monday night on forming a tourism advisory council for Klickitat County. COUNCIL from Page 1 pation of which was represented by the rare gathering of groups from such varied areas in the county and across the river in Oregon and even federal government. “When the bus tour operators see me and ask, ‘So what’s new?’ I’m going to be able to say, ‘Boy, have I got news for you,” Johnson said. “They love new possibilities.” Johnson has been talking about package travel, which essentially means bus tours, for some time to county organizations, and the county recently put in funds to support the development of bus tours; area businesses also contributed funds toward the project, which could lead to buses coming into the county as early as late this year.

Born at 5:10 p.m. Monday, January 6, Randy Scott Tallman had a weight of 6 pounds 13 ounces. Randy became the second child of Mr. and Mrs. Benny Tallman, he joins a sister, Cindy. 75 Years Ago – January 12, 1939 Just as though it had an appetite for “Carter’s Little Liver Pills” a driverless paint truck, owned by Fred Oltmanns, leaped a Main Street curb at closing time Thursday evening and crashed through a plate glass window in Allison’s Pharmacy. The curb leaping occurred when the truck was inadvertently cranked while in gear. Rev. V. T. Smith, Church of Christ minister, who works with Oltmanns, was cranking the truck when it started. Neither Oltmanns, nor the Rev. Smith was able to stop the truck before it had crashed into the window. 100 Years Ago – January 8, 1914 Merle Chapman suffered a thrilling experience Tuesday evening this week while driving his hearse to Chamberlain Flat. The high wind prevailing, blew the hearse over and threw him off into the road. The glass was broken and the hearse somewhat banged up, but was in commission for the several funerals this week. 125 Years Ago – January 10, 1889 Sealed bids for the construction of a courthouse will be received at the office of the county auditor on or before the first Monday in February 1889.

I hope you had an enjoyable one and didn’t sleep through the countdown like me. But since I did, I think I should be able to hold off on my resolutions until at least Valentine’s Day, don’t you? Speaking of resolutions, how many are you already failing? Well, I’ll be honest with you folks. I made up my resolution to hold off on soda on Dec. 31. But the very next day, I reached new heights of thirsty and kind of helped myself to some Sunkist and Mountain Dew. Hey, I slept through the countdown! But this isn’t an update on my life. Yes, it might be a bit too late to be all up on resolutions, but the year is still new! Adventure still awaits! So let’s talk about the two dumb levels of urgency in making yourself more pleasing to the world. The first one to go will be . . . (cue suspenseful Kid’s Eye music) . . . stuff you don’t need to do. Certain resolutions that apply to this category would be getView ting up earlier, improving organizational skills, Sarah Gould managing your time more efficiently, and so on. But you don’t need to fix a thing, should you already obsess over them. It is my belief that if you are infatuated with the idea of polishing your “planner skills” (that’s what I call them), you most likely have already acquired them. OK, I didn’t phrase that in the most efficient way possible. Let me put it this way. You get up at the crack of dawn, you’re a neat freak, you’re never tardy, and yet you still aspire to be “the Superlative One” of all those things. Now, I lack all those desirable traits, and I don’t even question the phenomenon I am. Next to be drop-kicked out the window is stuff other people want you to do. This would’ve been the least important, but it’s outranked by the category of stuff you don’t need to do. If you happen to be one of those people who acceptw that they’re imperfect, this still could apply to you. Show of hands: who feels that they need to improve themselves because of unintentionally rude comments people have said? Here is one example, and try to imagine it being said in the worst imitation of a talking Chihuahua: “I really don’t like [blank] about you.” Oh, you fill in the blank. I kind of, um . . . forgot to mention that. But anyone saying anything negative about you could wrongly motivate you to try to improve yourself in areas that don’t need to improve. Which could lead to stuff you don’t need to do! When does the nightmare end?! Sorry, kids, but that’s the most I can squeeze into about 460 words. So the next 29 words after this sentence must be meaningful. One, two, three, four – I’m kidding! I’m not going to count to 29 when you can already do that on your time. So . . . farewell, my admirers! Next Java Talk: Friday, Jan. 17, 8 a.m., Golden Coyote Coffee LETTERS Stop blocking anonymous calls To the Editor: Are we living in a paranoid world? Most of the people and businesses that I call in the Goldendale area have anonymous phone call blocking on. If I wanted you to have my number, you'd already be on my Christmas card list anyway. We are not friends, and I wish you all would respect my privacy as much as you respect your own. The Grist Mill does this, so I have to drive there at my expense and inconvenience. Today I called the district phone number of our esteemed congresswoman and got the same treatment. Maybe they should be more concerned with running their businesses or offices and not offending potential customers and constituents. CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATORS Norm Johnson 122-C Legislative Bldg. P.O.

Twenty children and seven adults were killed by a young man with a history of significant mental illness and an arsenal of semi-automatic weapons. The incident was the second deadliest mass shooting by a single person in American history, after the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, and it prompted renewed debate about gun control in the United States. You could reasonably expect to see a prompt raft of state-level legislation aimed at gun safety and restrictions. Since Newtown, approximately1,500 gun-related bills have been introduced in the various states’ legislatures. The topics of these various legislative efforts include gun permits, public carry, guns in schools, mental health, background checks, assault weapons, nullify federal law, gun access, and lost/stolen firearms. Of the 1,500 bills introduced, 178 passed at least one chamber of a state legislature. 109 have become law. Thirty-nine tighten gun restrictions. Seventy loosen gun restrictions. All of this in a country where numerous surveys in the past year have shown the vast majority of the public favors at least some gun restrictions to curb the daily gun violence in our communities. What happened in Washington? Washington actually passed two relevant laws: one creating a statewide database of mental health information and requiring submission of mental health commitment records to the state, and one creating a registry of gun offenders. Two bills passed the first chamber before getting killed: one prohibiting subjects of domestic-violence protection orders from obtaining firearms or concealed weapons permits, and one to allow an NRA “safety program” in schools and child care centers. What happened in Oregon? Five bills were introduced, four in the Senate (background checks, concealed carry in schools and state Capitol building, and concealed carry training) and one in the House (assault weapons). None of them passed even one legislative chamber, although the background checks bill came close. So here’s a question that should be easy. Do we give a damn? And the other, even more important question is, are we going to hold our elected representatives accountable? Here it is election season. There will be fundraisers and public fora. Will we speak up, ask the questions, make sure the candidates answer instead of dancing around them? Will we campaign and vote based on the answers? If we don’t, we’re complicit.

The brisk plunge into the water at Maryhill State Park was enjoyed by 68 polar “bears”. The event raised nearly $1500 for Park & Rec programs. FVRL offers chance to fill your bookshelves at used book sale JUSTIN BRIMER CLEAN AND DRY: Father’s House Fellowship has expanded its reach in the Goldendale community. In addition to addressing the spiritual needs of residents, they also provide for the physical needs - showers, laundry facilities, and clean, dry clothing (above). Shelter from Page 1 offered her a free place to live for two years. Now she spends her days helping the church that brought her back from a tailspin that was spiraling toward homelessness. She also volunteers for A Hand Up, a service from local churches that offers one-time or short-term monetary aid. “They can pay for a prescription, or gas money to get to a job interview,” Adler says, “or maybe even a motel room for a night.” “I know how much it can mean, because I’ve been the one calling that line,” she adds. David Blomeley, who helped remodel the church bathroom and prepared the beds for homeless families, stands nearby and nods. Like Adler, he now works at the church that offered him a hand up and joins many other Goldendale residents offering short and long term solutions to homelessness. Father’s House of Fellowship, 207 S. Klickitat Avenue, can offer a needy person or family a safe, warm place to sleep and prepare meals for one or two nights. The Goldendale Ministerial Association, at 250-1604, offers financial help on the A Hand Up telephone line. Their motto is, “A poor man called and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles,” Psalsm 34:6. Calls are answered by volunteers or callers can leave a message detailing their need. Ogden, Lions to provide free eye clinic A partnership made up of the Goldendale Lions Club, the Goldendale High School Leos Club, Dr. Jim Ogden and a local, generous benefactor will be providing a free eye clinic for people who do not have insurance, public assistance, or the necessary funds to obtain the eye care that they need.

The stats were very similar for the two teams with one notable exception, shot location. Both teams hit 14 shots from the field.

The Lady Cougars were led by Childers’ seven points and 15 rebounds as seven Cougars scored. Wahtonka’s defense kept Lyle-Wishram scoring in single digits for each quarter as they won the game 33-27. The boys fared much better in a 42-34 win. The Cougars disrupted Wahtonka’s offense with 16 steals, seven by Jonathan Von Ahn who led the team with 12 points. Carse hit for 11 and John Stephens scored nine points for the Cougars. The Cougar JV boys take on Glenwood in Glenwood on Thursday.

Even their record is similar, starting with losses to Toppenish and Connell and splitting with Winlock and Onalaska at the year-end tournament in Naches. Three of the key players are the same, with Kirstin Twohy, Brooke Graff and Cheyenne Smith returning. But, the style of play has changed greatly and this version of the Wolves is a more complete team. It is also a running team. “We worked hard through the summer to totally change from a slow, set offense to a running team,” says Coach Jeff Fields. “We’re a lot faster this year. We can come back from eight or 10 points down. Last year we couldn’t score points fast enough to do that.” The three girls who are carry overs from last year’s squad are the foundation of the team. Like a pyramid, they form a structure upon which everything else is built. The difference this year is primarily experience. They are also the foundation of a team that will match most teams in size and yet has good ball handling skills and can run the floor. Twohy has the potential to be a premier post player in the league. She looks very comfortable in that role, calling for the ball inside and taking it to the hoop over smaller defenders. She is a dominant rebounder who is capable of a double-double in every game she plays. She has played smarter this year, avoiding some of the fouls that she was baited into last year. Smith and Graff share the playmaker guard role and each is experienced playing the forward position. Graff likes to work on the perimeter of the key while Smith is very aggressive on offense, always pushing the ball to the hoop. New to the varsity this year are three players who also give size to the line-up. Sofia Casimiro was lost to basketball last year following a soccer injury. As a sophomore, she was a key player on the JV squad and she has blended right in as a dominant rebounder and scorer from under the hoop, this year. Casimiro has a knack for getting the back side rebound and she rarely misses inside shots. Another newcomer is Malisa Barrier who isn’t a big scorer, but nobody works harder and takes more hits battling inside than the senior. While her role is mainly defense and rebounding, Barrier will score when given the opportunity. The other newcomer with size is freshman Ocean Bryan. Bryan is athletic and works in the mold of Smith and Graff, handling the ball outside and doing a lot of inside work, rebounding and scoring. Two varsity newcomers are guards Zara Kartes and Sierra Lamping. Both girls are three point threats although Kartes prefers to be a point guard in the set-up ented this year,” says Den Boer. Two keys to that guard play are the return of Kenner Milliren and newcomer, freshman Ivan Howtopat. Milliren is a senior who was going to figure prominently into the Goldendale scoring attack last year, but didn’t get the opportunity after suffering a season ending injury in December. Milliren looks totally recovered and has returned to deliver the kind of inside-outside threat that is key to the offense. Milliren handles the ball well out front and can either be the playmaker guard or knock down three point shots from anywhere around the arc. He creates a lot of opportunities with his ability to take the ball to the hoop where he can shoot or dish. Howtopat is the only freshman on the varsity. His confidence with the ball will increase with experience, but he already knows how to shoot. He has been lights out on three-point shots when given time to shoot. Den Boer often goes with a third guard, Briley Cameron, in his guard oriented offense. Cameron, another senior, is more of a swing player whose main role was defense last year. He is becoming more comfortable shooting the ball, and likes to take the ball into the top of the key for shots. The other big change in this year’s Timberwolf team that is generating offense is the addition of Dillon Shattuck, who is the first true power forward that Goldendale has had in New look Timberwolves broaden their attack Andrew Christiansen The Sentinel Last year’s Timberwolf team was in a rebuilding mode, lacking senior experience and more importantly, lacking a scoring punch which forced first year coach Lance Den Boer to say the team focus was defense. A very different team takes the court this year with four seniors and scoring potential from all over the court. “We’re more guard ori- 650 Llama Lane Goldendale 773-4687 GO! FIGHT! WIN!

She is quick as a defender and shoots more of her threes from around the top of the arc. Lamping does most of her work from the corners and is more of a shooting guard, leaving the ball handling chores to Kartes, Graff and Smith. Hannah Hoffman has been seeing varsity time and is another player with size who will play a bigger role in the future. Injuries have also given opportunities to freshmen Maddie Cameron, a guard and Hailey Bigbie, another player in the mold of Graff and Smith. While the Lady Timberwolves have started in similar fashion as last year’s team, they have the potential to take things further in post season play. Last year’s team had five league wins. The ladies started this season 2-0 in league play. With so many players with similar size and talents, it has taken some time getting roles worked out. The loss of Graff and Casimiro in late December set things back a bit, but expect the team to be back in sync for January’s league games. GOLDENDALE VARSITY BOYS: The 2013-14 Timberwolves are (front row l-r): Ivan Howtopat, Briley Cameron, J.C. Cline, Brian Golding, Jerry Stalcup, Kenner Milliren. Back row (l-r): Dillon Shattuck, Daniel Bischoff, Bryce Myra, Kevin Gilk, Ben Cochran, Head Coach Lance Den Boer. some time. Shattuck has the size and strength to play inside when Den Boer goes with his small line-up and he is a good outside shot on the left side of the offense. The fifth man in the starting line-up is post player, Ben Cochran. Cochran is a wide body inside who is more of a rebounder and defensive specialist. He can provides supplemental offense and has even been known to drop in a threepointer, once in a while. The bench gives Den Boer a lot of options. He has 6-5 Bryce Myra, another senior who has a good Cheryl K. Woods, CPA, P.C. 773-5670 touch on his shots around the hoop, when the desire is to go with a bigger look. He also has 6-4 Kevin Gilk who is much improved over last year and is a tough defender and shot blocker. One of the first players off the bench has been Daniel Bischoff, an eager sophomore who has some size as a swing player who can inject some offense from the arc in. Another sophomore who sees a lot of playing time is J.C. Cline a real grinder for the Wolves. Cline does a lot of the dirty work on the baseline, scrapping for balls and stealing rebounds. He is a tough defender in the Timberwolf scheme. Rounding out the line-up are Jer ry Stalcup and Brian Golding. Stalcup is a guard who is very good Go! Fight! Win! Good Luck Goldendale Teams! The entire gang wishes the best of luck to all the Klickitat County Teams! with the ball. He plays more of a defensive role, but can shoot. Golding plays on the wing, giving the team depth inside and out. Last year’s team had a heavy reliance on one player. It was no secret that they were just trying to make do and win on defense. This year’s team is still gelling with several new players in the line-up. But, once they get comfortable with the system and each other, this year’s Wolves have the diverse talents on offense and defense that make them a team that can’t be overlooked in the SCAC west. Last year the Timberwolves were just 2-12 in league play. Opening this season 1-1, time will tell how far they will go, but expect them to challenge for top four by season end.

Broadway 773-4646 Klickitat County Winter Sports Preview 2013-2014 B3 Wolves are a competitive team, hope to double numbers to State Andrew Christiansen The Sentinel Goldendale has a nice mix of seniors and young talent on this year’s wrestling squad. There are seven seniors, one junior, 11 sophomores and four freshmen. Three Timberwolves made it to State last year. That number could be doubled in 2014 with a flush of talented young wrestlers on this year’s squad, says Head Coach Omar Flores. The seniors are setting the pace, particularly Kyle Wilkins and Dean Enstad who, along with Zach Cully, are the only ones with Mat Classic experience. Wilkins was the only State medalist last year, and he is off to a good start this year. He didn’t have a lot of matches in December, but when Wilkins was on the mat, it generally ended in a win by pin. Wilkins took the sixth place medal at State in the 170 pound division last year and is looking to improve on that this year at 182 pounds. Wilkins has been more of a defensive wrestler, but Flores is hoping for more of an attack and first move mentality to get Wilkins higher in the medals this year. Enstad is another senior who made the trip to State last year, but it didn’t end well and he is motivated to have a better finish in 2014. Enstad has been a quick pinning machine at 160 pounds this year, quite a jump considering he competed at 138 pounds at State. He will likely be at 152 this year, still a two division leap. Enstad has learned to be the one making the action with the first move. Flores says Enstad has learned the pace of a match and wrestles with a lot of confidence. He is in a tough weight division, but is expected to be highly ranked and a medal contender in 2014. The third wrestler who made it to State last year is Zach Cully. It was an emotionally overwhelming achievement for the senior who was an underdog at Regionals. He was outmatched at State and didn’t last long, but he has a taste of Mat Classic and he has an idea of what it takes to get there. Cully will contend this year at 285. He goes in around 240, making it a challenge to out-maneuver the bigger wrestlers in his division. The other seniors are Jakeb Par tlow, Re ggie Sargeant, Ben Wooden and Tristan Sheppard. Partlow has a good shot at making it to State. Partlow has been very strong in the early going this season. He has been handling oppo- nents in the 195 pound division with his strength and deter mination. Coach Omar Flores sees Partlow as a wrestler who may be a year late, as a senior. He is a strong contender to make his first trip to Mat Classic, but he will have to really be on his game to get into the medals as a first-timer at the spectacle of Mat Classic. Sargeant and Wooden will have to dig deep in this their final shot to make it to State. Sargeant is a powerful, stocky wrestler at 220 pounds. He sometimes struggles with the pace of the match and is overeager, making himself vulnerable to pinning situations. But, he has the strength and experience to be a handful for other wrestlers in the division. Wooden has a tough road ahead of him due to the competition at 182 pounds. He will have to get by at least two other wrestlers on his own team, just to have a shot. Wooden is a skilled wrestler, but needs to avoid becoming too defensive. He will have to pick up the pace to get to Regionals. Sheppard is a transfer student who wrestles at 285. He has the size to go ag ainst the bigger wrestlers and he has mastered a throw but will need to do better on the mat. He is good to have on the squad as he and Cully can compete and make each other better. There could be some surprises emerge from the big group of sophomores, but the best chances are Bryce Wilkins at 160 pounds, Zane Cully at 220 pounds and Mark Briggs at 145-152 pounds. Wilkins is the third brother who could make the trip to State, following Kurt, a fourth place finisher in 2012, and Kyle, last year’s sixth place medalist. Wilkins had a huge growth spurt, growing three inches and jumping from 138 to the 160 pound division where he is likely to stay. His height gives him a leverage advantage that he will have to learn to use. He is coming off a football injury and still has some work to do, but he will be a ranked competitor come District. Cully wrestles at 195-220 pounds against some experienced competition. Flores says he has good power in his hips and lower half and could be a year away. Flores compares him to Partlow and puts Cully ahead of where Partlow was as a sophomore. Briggs was the little guy, relatively speaking, last year on a team that always cedes points at the lower weights due to lack of General Store Go ‘Wolves! Go! Fight! Win!

Not pictured: Trent Radway. small wrestlers. Briggs was scrappy at 132-138 last year. This year he has that same quickness but is at 145-152 pounds. Briggs is a determined wrestler who too often is fighting his way from behind. Once he learns to make the first move, he will be hard to contend with. He has a shot of making it to his first Mat Classic. Big question marks lie in the next group, all of whom show winning potential. They include Demetrius McCoy, Nick Dix, Nic Foss, Avery Walker and Trent Radway. McCoy is very aggressive and good on strength and conditioning. He lacks experience, but is a willing student and can’t be ignored at 170 pounds. Dix is a good wrestler at 132 pounds, but it is a division that is particularly strong in the SCAC. This may not be his year, but he will gain great experience as he already has the tools. Foss has the tools and just needs to learn the pace of matches and improve condition- ing, a constant theme of Flores’ applying to all of the wrestlers. Walker and Radway show much promise. Flores says Radway is gaining a lot of experience wrestling Enstad in practice. “He found it tough at first, but has stuck with it in a tough division,” says Flores. He is one of five wrestlers in the 160-170 pound range. Walker hasn’t seen a lot of action, but Flores sees him as a future winner in the league. The remaining sophomores, Michael Holmes, Jeremy McElroy and Daniel Wedgwood have shown some spark, too. Holmes is at the talentloaded 182 pound division, so will probably see mostly JV matches. McElroy will get some opportunities at 285, but Goldendale is pretty solid there, too. Wedgwood can help out on team competition at 145 pounds where the Timberwolves are a little thin, depending on where Briggs settles in. There is also excitement among the group of freshmen, particularly with Good Luck to all the Klickitat County Teams! 773-3888 GO WOLVES!

Ruben Finn is the sole junior on the team. He has been on a steep learning curve, but has stuck with it and is looking more comfortable on the mat. At 170 pounds, Finn is in that group of wrestlers battling for just a couple of spots and throughout the league, 170 is always a tough class. So, expect improvement this year with maybe as many as six wrestlers to State. Just as big is the prospect of having a large contingent at Regionals, allowing the Timberwolves to get back into the conversation of District and Regional team placing. The Wolves last won District in 2007, a banner year in which they were third at Regional and sent eight wrestlers to State. Flores was SCAC Coach of the Year that year.

He is probably the number two wrestler at 182 and the only thing holding him back is freshman experience in a division dominated by juniors and seniors. Another is Leroy Miller at 126 pounds. Miller can be a key player in team competition because he helps out in a division that is a perennial weak spot for Goldendale. There is tough competition in the SCAC in those lower divisions, but with a more aggressive approach and experience, Miller can succeed. The other freshmen are Michael Jagelski at 132 to 138 pounds and Colby Valladares at 145 pounds. Jagelski, like Miller is good to have at the lower weight division.

Klickitat County Winter Sports Preview 2013-2014 B4 CHS girls working on fitting ending to 2013-14 story By SVERRE BAKKE The Enterprise December was a tale of two months for Columbia High’s girls basketball team. The Bruins won their first three games of the 2013-14 season, including Trico victories over King’s Way and Castle Rock. Then, Ilwaco came to town on Dec. 16. As he sat on a bleacher in Miller Gym, awaiting Ilwaco’s arrival for a Trico game that was scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m., Bruins Coach Howard Kreps thought about his 3-0 team’s match-up with the traditionally difficult Fishermen. His brow was furrowed, the first sign of concern to reveal itself in the veteran coach’s usually unreadable face. Then he voiced it. “Tonight we’re going to find out how good a basketball team we are.” Columbia lost that game, rallying but falling short in the fourth quarter. It lost two more Trico games (to Trico favorites Kalama and Woodland) before ending December with a hardfought, non-league win at home over an Ilwaco-like Corbett, Ore., team. After losing a Trico game against La Center here on Jan. 3, the Bruins once again are back at square one overall with a 44 record. Their 2-4 mark in Trico play currently is good for fifth place in the standings, which means they need to extract from their losses and victories COLUMBIA HIGH GIRLS: The Bruins in 2013-14 are (l-r) Cheryl Reetz, Morgan Vasquez, Jaleh Kermani, Kirstin Hylton, Corrie Brending, Savannah Story, Kylene Olin, and Kayla McClain. Not pictured: Olivia Grim and Michaela Enyart. those lessons learned that will help them get off the post-season bubble and compete at a high level, game in, game out. “I’d grade our performance in December a C+,” Kreps said. “We should have beaten Ilwaco. Our defense against La Center could have been better, but when three girls hit 12 3s...?” Through eight games, Kreps has started more often than not with a lineup of 6-foot-2 senior center Kirstin Hylton, 6-1 senior forward Corrie Brending, 5-7 senior forward Cheryl Reetz, 5-7 junior point guard Savannah Story, and 5-7 sophomore guard Kayla McClain. All are returning varsity players. The first player off the bench for Kreps is 5-10 senior forward Jaleh Kermani, who went on a foreign student exchange last year and did not play. Backup minutes on the front line and in the back court are being shared by 5-6 senior forward Kylene Olin and a trio of 5-7ish sophomores: Morgan Vasquez, a returning player, and rookies Olivia Grim and Michaela Enyart. Kermani has been one of the team’s most productive offensive players so far. Her season-high in points is 12, against Corbett — a total she amassed as the result of pounding the offensive backboard for putbacks and free-throw opportunities. Hylton, one of three CHS captains, is the Bruins’ first option in the low post in half-court sets. She enjoyed a season-high 14point effort in a win over King’s Way on Dec. 3 and in a Dec. 20 home loss to unbeaten Woodland. Brending, also a captain, worked hard last summer to improve her shooting. She complements Reetz, who is a tough inside defender and aggressive defensive rebounder. Story, the third captain, handles the ball 80 percent of the time for the Bruins’ offense, while McClain is the team’s top threat from the 3-point line. Enyart is their back-up. Vasquez and Grim, hardcharging players with similar offensive skills, also have scored in double digits or close to it at least once this season to give Kreps hope that the team can develop multiple scoring options and diversify its offensive attack. If that and other positive things happen, the Columbia High story line could become the tale of two seasons. “We will continue to try and get the ball inside and keep the floor spread,” Kreps said. “We still have a weakness handling the ball but we’re better than last year. More than anything, we need consistency. We’ll look good for four minutes, then lousy for three.” Time is an element that is on CHS’s side. The Bruins have 12 games remaining in the regular season — all against Trico competition — to write a fitting ending to their season, including two games scheduled for December that were postponed due to winter weather conditions and travel concerns. And, because it’s the Trico League, nothing should ever be expected or taken for granted. Already this season, CHS went into Castle Rock and beat the Rockets for the first time in a long time. The Bruins played well enough at times to compete equally with Woodland and Ilwaco. With eight games left against fellow second-tier teams Toledo, Stevenson, Seton Catholic, Castle Rock, and King’s Way (a combined 619 in Decem-ber Trico games), and four of those at home, the schedule offers the Bruins an opportunity to separate from the pack and move into contention for an automatic Southwest Dis-trict Tournament berth. At the very least, they should keep an eraser handy and be prepared to revise the plot until there’s nothing more to say. Columbia boys focusing on picture-perfect finish By SVERRE BAKKE The Enterprise Columbia High’s boys basketball team’s opportunity to capture lightning in a jar came after its onesided 73-37 Trico League victory at home over Ilwaco on Dec. 16. The Bruins were dominant in all phases of the game that night in Miller Gym, despite the absence of a key starter. Their offense clicked as CHS controlled the offensive backboard, shared the ball, and four players reached double digits in points. CHS also played well defensively, forcing turnovers in the open court and half court with ball pressure, and limiting Ilwaco’s secondchance shot opportunities by owning the defensive backboard. The perfor- mance, in short, was a snapshot of the team Columbia High hoped to become in 2013-14. That picture has faded now that the Bruins have fallen to 1-7 overall and, more important, to 1-5 in Trico League play. Still, the images of Dec. 16 persist as a reminder that the Bruins still have 12 league games remaining to regain that focus and picture-perfect discipline, and turn their season around. (Two Trico games in December were postponed due to weather and must still be made up.) Bruins Coach Dave Garwood knows, though, that such a turnaround will require some changes in the way Columbia competes. The Bruins have shown they can score (see Ilwaco; they also put “Espressing” Our Support for the Bruins ESPRESSO DRIVE THRU Hot Drinks • Cold Drinks • Smoothies • Open Daily 541-645-0608 • Hwy 14 • Bingen up 70 points at home in a non-league loss to Corbett, Ore., on Dec. 28), but they’ve also given up a lot of points (see Corbett, 81; Kalama, 73, on Dec. 18). One positive Garwood took away from Columbia’s 1-6 performance in December was the team’s offensive play in those two 70-point games, when multiple players scored in double figures. “I went into the season with some pretty high expectations,” Garwood said. “We have five returning players who are going to be three-year lettermen and usually that’s a recipe for success. We have both inside and outside personnel who can do some damage, but with that being said, we’ve had some ballcontrol issues and have committed an abundant amount of turnovers in multiple games, thus leading to our current record. The good thing is that we’ve done the things we are supposed to when we’ve had success, so that’s what we’re trying to build upon.” To date, 6-foot-1 junior Ryan Lockman has been Columbia’s top scorer in every game and most consistent player.

Bruins Coach Stoner Bell welcomed 16 wrestlers on the first day of practice but has since seen the roster settle in at the 10 to 11 range: not enough to compete realistically for team titles but more than enough to shake up postseason brackets. Those wrestlers, Bell noted, represent a mix of old and new and will comprise the core of the team going forward into January and February. Columbia’s most experienced returning wrestlers are senior and three-year letter-winner Nathan Bell, who wrestles at 160 pounds, and junior Regina Bell, a third-year wrestler who competes in boys meets at 126 and girls competitions at 125. Nathan Bell made it to state as a sophomore (joining older brothers Seth and Joshua as state qualifiers for CHS), but was unable to wrestle at last year’s regional meet in Castle Rock due to illness. Regina Bell, Nathan’s cousin, had a shot at her first state berth last year but was disqualified from wrestling at the regional meet in Battle Ground by a skin irritation. Coach Bell has high hopes for both returning wrestlers but also understands nothing is guaranteed in the slippery slope world of high school wrestling. One wrong move and a season’s worth of sweat and toil could be all for naught in mere seconds. The effects are heightened the farther up the ladder a wrestler moves in competition, which only gets stronger at every stop. To get themselves ready for the rigors of post-season wrestling, Bruins wrestlers have competed in a number of regular-season tournaments to date. From the season-opening Bruin Inter-state Invitational on Dec. 14 to the Wahkiakum Down River Challenge on Dec. 21, the Free Berry to Invitational in Pendleton, Ore., on Dec. 28, to the Washougal River Rumble on Jan. 4. The aim, Bell noted, is to get each wrestler as many matches as allowed by WIAA regulation before the post-season begins in early February with the Trico League championships. Already benefiting from the experiences is senior Austin Walker, a first-year wrestler who has shown great promise against the competition he’s seen in the 182-pound weight class. To date, Walker has placed in every tournament he’s been to. Walker won at home, placed second at Pendleton, and finished third at Wahkiakum. The fact that Walker is un-seedable in tournaments (because he did not wrestle last season) gives him a bit of an advantage in that he is an unknown quantity. Walker’s greatest asset, according to his coach, is his explosiveness, which has helped him compile a 13-3 record with a bunch of pins. Most of those pins, Bell noted, have come in the first 2 minutes of all after winning his action. weight class at Washougal. “While this is his first The key to his success so year of wrestling, he has far, according to his coach, extensive wrestling experi- has been his consistency in ence,” Walker’s coach said. close matches against “He is naturally athletic strong opponents. and strong.

Glenwood re-established its boys basketball program as a junior varsity program for the 2013-14 season after being part of a Trout Lake/Glenwood basketball combine the previous seven years. The team’s coach is Ryan Webb, who was a familiar fixture on the bench (as an assistant and jayvee coach) during the TLG days. Webb sees it as his job to lay out the building blocks for the team to assemble in a way that will help it be successful. “I am excited for our boys that they get to take ownership of their team,” he said in a midseason interview. The Eagles opened practices in the third week of November with seven players but suffered their first casualty when thier only freshman, Colton Troh, broke a wrist in practice just before Christ-mas break. Webb said the loss was significant in that Troh represented the team’s primary perimeter shooting from last year’s TLG combine team. “Both have the ability to play multiple positions and will be the heart of this team as they mature through the high school ranks,” their coach said. Junior Greg Dechand hasn’t played organized basketball since eighth grade. According to Webb, Dechand’s “speed is an asset on both the defensive and offensive sides of the game.” Seniors Kenny Henderson and Richard Slawson the Bruins on to SUCCESS!

As a consequence, the Eagles will be suiting up six players for the remainder of the season. Glenwood’s most experienced player is senior Jonathan Throop. “This is Jonathan’s third year of high school basketball. His skills on the court are greatly improving this year as he is being asked to take on many responsibilities,” Webb noted. “It is not unlikely that he may jump for the ball at the beginning of games, be asked to defend the opposing team’s best player, and play point for us on offense.

In fact there are just two seniors, four eighth graders and three freshmen on this year’s team. Three or four of those young players are already making significant impact on the team. The anchor to this club is the returning post player, Lindsay Brown. Brown was the club’s only selection to the All Opponents team. She may be the best ball handler on the team, capable of going end to end, but Barnhart says they need her more for her inside game as they rely on some young guards this year. Brown is the kind of player who will come up with double-doubles and is intimidating as a defender. Brown won’t be alone down low with one of two returning seniors, Sydnie O’Banion-Whitmore, a 5-6 forward, Heather Goodnight, a 5-7 sophomore forward, and maybe the newcomer of the year before the year is over, Jayce Alexander, a 5-7 eighth grader. O’Banion-Whitmore likes to play around the key and is involved in a lot of the physical play as she works for rebounds. She can score, but rebounding and defense are her main suits. Goodnight had a scary LEADING SCORER, REBOUNDER: Lindsay Brown is the only All-Opponents team selection returning to Bickleton this year. injury in December but is back playing for the Lady Pirates. She is a steady kind of player who takes care of her place on the court, making her a top defender. She will score some points for Bickleton, looking to score when she is inside 12 feet. Alexander plays with the confidence on an upperclassman. She is a good rebounder and is g reat around the basket where she will use her size, strength and good shooting technique to score. She isn’t a Jaime Venema yet, but she does give Bickleton the option of keeping Brown fresh or going with a double post look. The young guards that Barnhart is relying on are Katrina Cardenas, Hali O’Banion and Kira Harvey. Cardenas and O’Banion are freshmen and Harvey’s an eighth grader. “They don’t have a lot of experience, but all three show great potential,” says Barnhart. The Pirates weren’t getting much scoring from the guard position in the early going, as they were more involved in running the offense which looked to score from inside. As the season goes along, and confidence grows, that could change. Cardenas is tall for a guard and is also capable of playing as a forward. Barnhart says Cardenas has one of the technically most correct shot on the team and Floor leadership key to success for Pirates Andrew Christiansen The Sentinel In some ways it feels like déjà vu in Bickleton with a good group of young players making another run, hoping to make it to the Regional round of play-offs. Last year was to be the pay off year for the Bickleton Pirates. It was the senior year for a quartet of players who had been together and excelled back to their days as middle school players. While the team showed steady improvement, it couldn’t get over the hump and bowed out of districts one spot higher than the previous year, and with an overall winning record at 13-10, quite a turn-around from the 0-16 record that quartet had as freshmen. This year’s squad even has some of the same Go Wolves! Slam Dunk for Savings! names, Powers, Roberts and Brown. But, there is one big difference; the distribution of players by grade is a better mix for Coach Jerry Roberts this year. No seniors this year, but a solid group of juniors and sophomores and some promising freshman talent. There is only one true post player on this team, Michael Underwood. At 6-4, Underwood is a junior who makes his presence known primarily as a defensive player, but he can score when the team elects to take advantage of an inside match-up edge. The real motor for this team is the quick outside players who have the size and ball handling skills to create problems for defenses. Leading the way are Nathan Powers and Troy WE’RE PROUD OF YOU 622 E. BROADWAY, GOLDENDALE (509) 773-3072 Good Luck to all Bickleton Hoopsters! You’re the Best!

O’Banion was a quick, confident player as an eighth grader. She isn’t afraid to take off with the ball and isn’t bashful about shooting. Harvey is athletic, but will be challenged by some of the league’s more mature guards. Another returning player who also has a good shot is Lacy Cannon. Cannon is someone who plays a subtle game around the fringes of the key. She is an opportunistic scorer, similar to O’Banion-Whitmore, but not as aggressive. Annie Lindsley is a senior with limited basketball experience. She will help out with the younger girls at guard. Also expected to give the team a boost is Daniela Smith, a newcomer who is a junior. She hasn’t seen floor time yet this year, but she is athletic and will likely be a wing player. There are three other players on the bench, Hannah Delbrook, Emily Hanson and Priscilla Macias. They will see some playing time, but will mainly play in junior varsity games. Last year the Lady Pirates had a 3-7 conference record. It may be difficult to improve on that record with such a youthful team, but they are a team that can run and create problems for a lot of teams. Barnhart says she sees it as a challenge to meld the large number of new girls into the returning core. She says she will build the team to its strengths, but realizes this is a building season. Expect the Pirates to be focused on learning the fundamentals and become used to a system that might be a year away from the payoff. Barnhart says her team practices hard work and hustle. “I tell them every day that I want them to shock people, and I know they have it in them.” This may be the team that nobody wants to play.

Not pictured, Kenny Allenton. Roberts, a pair of six-foot sophomores who like to take the ball to the hoop, but can pull up and shoot with accuracy from anywhere on the court. Powers is the only player on the team who was on the AllOpponents’ team last year, impressing everyone as a freshman. While Powers attacks from one side, Roberts is doing the same thing from the other side of the offense. Adding to the attack is another junior, Clint Strader who has really come into his own on the court this year. Strader is very adept at scoring from within 10 feet and has perfected a crossover move that puts him at the front of the rim for easy points. The other junior is Joe Cardenas, the one-time little guy who was a pesky defensive player. Little Joey is now 5-10 and while he is still a tough outside defender, he knows how to position himself for rebounds and is an inside scorer that has to be accounted for. Freshman Kyle Underwood is the one player who fits the bill as a power forward on the team. Underwood was injured in December, but with him in the line-up, Bickleton will test any team’s inside defense. The support players for the Pirates include Andrew Gannon, the sixth man who will play a lot of the small forward position for Bickle- Winter Madness Is Here! Good Luck Goldendale Teams!

They are also the quickest Vandal team in some years. Last year, Lara Parsons carried much of the load. This year there is a better mix of offense across the line-up. Candice Templeton and Nicole Oldfield take over the inside scoring. Templeton often works from the high post and is a more aggressive shooter this year. Oldfield has a strong inside game both as a rebounder and scorer. She was the team’s leading defensive rebounder last year. When Oldfield has the ball in the paint with a little room, she is a deadly shooter. One thing that should be apparent is the change in how this team sets its of- fense. The maturity and strength of last year’s team was inside with seasoned players who tried to own the paint. Things shift this year with more of the attack coming from the outside. Providing that outside impetus is a group of 5-feet to 5-4 players led by seniors KyAnn and KeAndra Kessinger. KyAnn is moving from shooting guard to point guard. She was eager to take that role on the team, according to Coach Traci Kessinger. Last year, KyAnn was called upon for a lot of the long range shooting. This year she is more of the playmaker guard who can also shoot. KeAndra Kessinger is paired with KyAnn at the guard position again. She brings the experience of a senior who knows how to work her way for mid-range shots and she plays tough defense, creating turnovers that lead to easy points. Adding to the outside punch is a pair of young, 50 guards, Julianna Quinton and Bailee Green, who will split time on the floor. Quinton is another quick player who has proven she can knock down three-point shots when needed. Green is just a freshman, but shows no fear on the court and is a quick guard who can make space for the open shot, which she will take. The other starter is Barb Schlangen, who is becoming a reliable defender and rebounder for the Vandals. Schlangen has progressed greatly from her freshman year and is a key part of the team’s defense. Coach Kessinger foresees Schlangen increasing her involvement in the offense this year. There is a good group of reserves who can all contribute. A pair of players fit ment to play a varsity schedule last year against tall odds. They won just two games last year, but they played like a team and are better with the experience. Coach Phillip Watlamet was proud of the fact the team stayed together and didn’t get down and there was no finger pointed in spite of the wide range of experience and ability. It is still a thin bench in 2014 and they lost their only All Opponents team player, Geordan Rose, but the Vandals should find a few wins this year. There is real talent on the team. Everything will revolve around their big post play- KLICKITAT VARSITY GIRLS: The 2013-14 Lady Vandals are (front row, l-r): Manager Konnor Kessinger, KyAnn Kessinger, Bailee Green, Coach Traci Kessinger.

Mackenzie Tuthill is a dependable, eager player who is learning the game and has the athletic ability to contribute. She is quick and likes to mix it up inside. Jenna Blake is similar to Tuthill, a hard worker who plays defense and assists before looking for points. Coach Kessinger says it is a fun group to work with and that they are eager to put in the hours of practice. The team was shut-out in league last year and looks to get back to Districts. er, Mason Knowland. At 6-4, Knowland is very comfortable around the hoop. He’s an accurate shooter that teams will have to account for. That makes Knowland just about as valuable to the team without the ball. He creates opportunity for other players. Foremost among the other players is Nathan Erickson. Erickson has been interesting to watch over the years. He was lost out there as a freshman, unrecognizable from today’s player. Last year he blossomed as a capable forward who had some ball handling skills and had a decent outside jumper. At the start of play this year, Erickson mor phed into a point guard, showing off better than average ball skills and the ability to drive from outside to the hoop. It wasn’t necessarily the role he was looking for, but he accepted the leadership role and showed he could be a playmaker guard. When Mitch Sanchey returned to the line-up, Coach Watlamet now had his usual point guard and a very versatile Erickson as a swing player. Sanchey is one of two seniors on the team. He has been in the program all through high school, thick and thin. He has natural leadership qualities and is an unselfish player. Sanchey knows the offense and can run it. He isn’t much of a scorer, but he doesn’t shoot a lot either. The other senior is Tim Lambert, a strong rebounder and accurate mid-range shooter. Lambert is at his best around the key where he can score points off rebounds on the offensive board. Logan Foix is a junior, like Knowland and Erickson. He has made big gains since last year. He shows much more comfort on the floor on defense and offense. He is valuable as a defender, but will contribute to the offense. The most interesting new player is Rylee Holycross, a freshman. Holycross is reminiscent of Rose in that he is a player who appears to have honed his skills on the playg round, rather than through organized ball. He is a slick ball handler and is a player who should be contributing to the attack as a three-point threat as well as the kind of player who can take it to the hoop. For now Holycross is a raw talent that Watlamet is teaching to work within the system. In the early going he has been hesitant, respectful of his role in a team concept, but expect him to open up as his confidence builds. The team is rounded out by Scotty Harrington, a role player who is out front on the defense for Klickitat. Harrington is a sophomore who is on a steep learning curve, focused mostly on his defensive game. Rusty Woodall is a promising freshman. At 6-1, Woodall should have a role to play in the future of Vandal basketball, but for now is working his way into the line-up. It will be hard for the Vandals to get into post season play, but they are a team that is building for the long haul. One of the positives from their three year experience of being a shorthanded team is that they have learned to play the game without getting into foul trouble. Teams have to earn their points on the floor against Klickitat, as there won’t be many opportunities from the foul line. Team unity a strength at Klickitat, win or lose Andrew Christiansen The Sentinel This year’s Klickitat Vandals is an experienced team, hungry for wins.

After dropping games at Tri-Cities Prep of Pasco and at home in overtime to South Wasco County of Maupin, the Cougars turned their season around by beating Oakville, a school Lyle/Wishram had never played in basketball; Sherman County, and Dufur, in order. (The team also won an exhibition game versus its alumni.) The Cougars were scheduled to play four more non-league games in January while also launching a new bid for the championship of the Greater Columbia 1B League. Lyle/Wishram will play 10 league games beginning with its opener on Jan. 14 against Klickitat. All told, the Cougars will play everybody in league twice in the process of arranging the standings for Yakima Valley District Tournament seeding purposes. Defending champion Sunnyside Christian is the team to beat, though the Knights looked beatable in suffering a couple of nonleague losses in December. As Cougars Coach Scott Myers has pointed out every season he’s been at Lyle/Wishram, though, you haven’t proven anything unless you’ve beaten Sunnyside Christian at its own game. In a much-anticipated match-up, the Cougars get their first shot at taking down the Knights on Jan. 25 in Lyle. Win or lose, the Cougars hope to create a template of success for the remainder of their season. Already, they’ve shown they have the physical assets to contest the Knights’ shots in the paint and compete for the weak-side rebounds Sunnyside Chris-tian teams have been so good at gathering and putting back for points. This season, the Cougars feature a veteran lineup of seniors Jonathan Von Ahn and John Stephens, and juniors Gabe Montoya and Cody Carse. Von Ahn, a 6-foot-1 forward, is in his third year as a starter and is the lone LYLE/WISHRAM BOYS: The Cougars in 2013-14 are (front, l-r); Dylon Sisson, remaining player from the team that played in the Chance Carpenter, Mickey Jones, Jacob Ziegler, Gavyn Nelson, John Stephens; (back) Cougars Coach Scott Myers, Travis Armour, Cody Carse, Jonathan VonAhn, Gabe Montoya, and Asst. Coach Tim Carse. Not pictured: Brett Rowan. WIAA’s first 1B Hardwood Classic in 2011. Von Ahn is a two-way player appreciated for his play-making and shot-blocking abilities. He tallied season-highs of 22 points and 11 rebounds in the win over Dufur on Dec. 17. It was his first double-double of the season. At 6-0, Stephens is perhaps the Cougars’ best allaround athlete: fast with good spring in his legs. He received all-league recognition as a running back for Columbia High last fall (he ran for nearly 1,000 yards in 10 games), and brings the same level of intensity and commitment to team to the hardwood that he shared with his Bruins teammates on the gridiron. He’s playing guard on the Cougars and posted a season-high 19 points against Oakville. Montoya, a third-year varsity player who earned all-league honors as a linebacker for CHS, put together a string of three doubledoubles in December to begin his first season as a basketball starter. The 6-1 forward’s big game came against South Wasco, on a night he scored a careerhigh 32 points and collected 12 rebounds. It was a performance that recalled another big and athletic Wishram player of recent memory, Henry Matai. (Montoya missed notching a fourth double-double against Dufur by one point.) Carse, a 6-2 guard in his first year as a basketball starter, also played football for Columbia last fall and has transferred his strong play from the football field to the basketball court with similar ease. The second-year player was particularly good in the overtime loss to South Wasco, as he came close to posting a triple-double in points, assists, and rebounds. He finished with a seasonhigh 20 points, 13 assists, and nine rebounds. Travis Armour, a 6-0 senior forward and returning varsity player, and 6-0 sophomore guard Dylon Sisson round out the Cougars’ primary six-man rotation. Together they average nearly 7 points and 8 rebounds per game. Chance Carpenter, a 5-10 senior guard, and Gavyn Nelson, a 5-10 sophomore guard, provide depth in the back court. Also competing for playing time at the varsity level are a trio of junior varsity “swing” players: 5-9 junior guard Jacob Zie-gler, 6-1 sophomore forward Brett Rowan, and 5-9 sophomore guard Mickey Jones. Lyle/Wishram girls hoping for extended playoff action By SVERRE BAKKE The Enterprise Lyle/Wishram’s girls basketball team experienced its share of ups and downs in the first month of the 2013-14 season. The Cougars won two games and lost three games against the nonleague competition they faced in December. They looked good in beating first-time opponent Oakville and Sherman County, and not-so-good in losing to Tri-Cities Prep of Pasco, South Wasco County, and Dufur. (The team also won an exhibition game against Lyle/Wishram alumni.) Somewhere in between those good and subpar performances is the basketball team Cougars Coach Joe Bales hopes will settle in in January to contend for the Greater Columbia 1B League victories that will gain Lyle/Wishram a high seed in February’s Yakima Wishing all Klickitat County teams ay Best of Luck the J Holtmann Inc. • Licensed • Insured • Bonded • WA License #JAYHOI*985J6 Offering our Best Wishes for winning seasons in 2014 Valley District Tournament. To be sure, the Cougars have 15 games remaining on their regular-season schedule. Ten of those games will be played against GCB competition from Bickleton, Klickitat, Trout Lake, Yakama Tribal, and Sunnyside Christian, the defending champion and perennial favorite to claim district honors. It’s those games with meaning that will determine what kind of team the Cougars become, and whether Lyle/Wishram is this year’s Yakama Tribal. The Eagles from Toppenish enjoyed a breakout last season and captured their program’s first state tournament berth.

I’d put us third, “Bales said. “That’s where we finished last season, and we’re much better now than we were last season,” when the Cougars went 12-10. As for Bickleton, Klickitat, and Trout Lake (formerly Trout Lake/Glenwood), he said, “They all lost some very talented players and will need to CARE OF THE BALL!

I really don’t know how they will finish but I know they will find a way to compete with the rest of the league.” The Cougars are finding ways to compete, game in, game out, with a lineup that features four full-time returning starters, one part-time returning starter, and last year’s first sub off the bench. Sophomore guard Lacy Carse led Lyle/Wishram in scoring last season with 278 points. She also led the Cougars in assists and made the GCB’s All-Opponent Team as a rookie. “Lacy sees the court well, but needs to cut down on her turnovers to be an elite player,” Bales noted. Carse scored a season-high 16 points in the Cougars’ Dec. 17 home loss to Dufur. Senior forward Mandy Solomon, one of the Cougars’ three team captains, has been rock-solid on the backboards once again. She plays with a lot of attitude, often against girls much taller than her, as the inspirational leader of the team. She gathered a teambest 168 rebounds last season and is on pace to match or surpass that total in 2013-14. Senior Suzanne McConville, a team captain and Lyle/Wishram’s best ballhandler, and sophomore defensive whiz MaeLynn Luke have resumed their roles in the Lyle/Wishram lineup, while senior guard Marissah Lacock, another captain and a well-rounded player, has moved into the starting five after being the team’s supersub a year ago. McConville and Luke both received All-Opponents recognition last season. “Suzanne does a great job of setting up our offense,” Bales said, while “MaeLynn is our best defensive player.” As a freshman, Luke averaged 7.1 points per game, and recorded 90 rebounds and 89 steals. Sophomore Ellie Smith, an improving post player at both ends of the court, started some games last season and may start some this year, depending on the match-ups.

Now on its own, Trout Lake girls team finding ways to compete By SVERRE BAKKE The Enterprise Trout Lake is just Trout Lake, and the Mustangs are just the Mustangs this basketball season -- as the school gym’s brand-new center-court logo and lettering indicate -- after the Trout Lake and Glenwood school districts mutually agreed in 2013 to dissolve their eight-year-old combine. But the Mustangs’ first season as a go-it-alone girls basketball program did not get off to the best of starts. Trout Lake’s traditional season-opening tournament on the first weekend in December, the Mt. Adams Shootout, was cancelled due to winter weather concerns. The Mustangs managed to tip off their 2013-14 cam- paign on Dec. 3, however, and made the most of their first game against the Columbia High junior varsity, winning by a score of 45-26. Trout Lake made it three in a row in the first two weeks of December with another victory over the CHS jayvee (42-30 on Dec. 10), and a 40-34 win against Sherman County at home on Dec. 13. The Mustangs posted their fourth win on Dec. 19 against the Stevenson jayvee (43-20). Sandwiched in between the third and fourth wins was a 52-41 loss on Dec. 17 to Yakama Tribal in Toppenish, in the Mustangs’ Greater Columbia 1B League opener. Trout Lake is led this season by senior guards and three-year letter-win- ners Caitlin Scott and Maggie Baker. Also back for the Mustangs are junior guard Beyyine Ozkan, junior forward McKinzie Wurtz, junior forward Abbie Vermeire, junior center Gabrielle Van Laar, and sophomore forward Emily Logan. Those seven players form Trout Lake’s primary rotation, but sophomore guard Cynthia Mendoza, junior guard Kayano Nakazawa, an exchange student from Japan, and a quartet of freshmen -Melisa Avila, Kya Fee, Paola Mendoza, and Lily Painter -- are also vying for playing time. Doug Dearden, Trout Lake’s superintendent and principal, has taken on the job of running the girls basketball program this year. He couldn’t be happier with the group of girls under his charge. “Overall, this is a fun group to coach,” Dearden said. “They work hard yet have capacity to make things fun.” Scott, who was a standout and earned all-league recognition last fall as a midfielder for Columbia High’s soccer team, runs the Mustangs’ offense and has been the team’s leading scorer through five games. “Caitlin’s a good, allaround player with high athletic ability,” Dearden noted. “She’s a great role model.” Baker, another CHS soccer alum, posesses a high basketball IQ, according to her coach, and sets an ex- ample for her teammates with “an outstanding work ethic and top academics.” Ozkan, a guard and another high academic achiever, ranks second on the Mustangs in scoring and rebounding to date. Wurtz leads the team in rebounding with an average of about 8 per game. Dearden also is getting helpful contributions from Logan, Vermeire (currently injured), and Van Laar, a good outside shooter who can play center or forward. “In December, I was impressed by this team’s intelligence on the floor, work ethic, and defensive capacity,” Dearden noted. The Mustangs’ goal now is keep it up through league play in January and February in the build- up to the Yakima Valley District Tour name nt. They have nine league games remaining on their regular-season schedule, which concludes Feb. 8 with a game at Bickleton. “I think the Greater Columbia 1B League will be challenging this year, with many good teams and coaches,” said Dearden, who believes the Mustangs will be competitive against the likes of Tribal, Bickleton, Klickitat, Lyle/Wishram, and defending champion Sunnyside Christian. “Most of all, I want the girls to have a great time and learn how they can become better people through the medium of basketball. I appreciate the opportunity to coach such a great group of young people,” Dearden added.

He has been a fixture in the frontline rotation ever since. Garwood also is hoping to get greater contributions from a now-healthy Garwood, one of the Bruins’ best defensive rebounders and outside shooters, and fellow seniors Jordan McClain (6-4) and Hayden Gibson (6-2). In the backcourt, the Bruins are going with a rotation of starters Lockman and Tanner Rabinowitz, a 6-0 junior who puts the intensity into CHS’s pressure defenses, and 6-0 junior Miguel Perez-Gomez, 510 senior Clayton Gross, 5-10 sophomore Tristan Bond, and 5-10 freshman Aidan Trummel. Perez-Gomez ended the 2013 portion of the schedule on a high note. He netted a career-high 13 points against Corbett, and has emerged as Columbia’s most reliable 3-point shooting threat. Garwood hopes that was the start of better things to come for the first-year varsity player. It also will be interesting to see where the freshman Trummel will fit as the season continues into the deep-winter nights. Trummel showed point guard potential when he scored a career-best 12 points in extended playing time against Ilwaco. He hasn’t come close to matching that output since, but the energy and enthusiasm he displays on the court are hard to ignore. If he can harness those and couple them with a more-disciplined approach and better decision-making, his playing time could increase, to the team’s benefit. Of course, nothing CHS does on offense will much matter if it can’t shut down its opponents on defense. The loss to Corbett highlighted one of Columbia’s major deficiencies. “We didn’t move our feet well at all, and not being good ‘help’ defenders was unacceptable,” Garwood said afterward. “We gave up 35 points to one player, and he’s a great player, but to let him shoot 25 free throws showed me we’re not getting into position defensively. That’s something we can get better at by working harder in practice.” Practice will help perfect things for the Bruins, but the proof will be in how they play in their 12 remaining Trico outings. In other words, this team picture is still in the developer, waiting to be fixed into something to behold. CHS junior guard Ryan Lockman, pictured here with Stevenson’s Ty O’Neal at the Goldendale jamboree on Nov. 30, has been the Bruins’ most consistent performer through the team’s first eight games.
