I want to welcome new residents andvisitors to Kittitas County. I was born andgrew up in Ronald, and I wouldn’t trade mychildhood years here for anything.
My family has a long history in this com-munity. My mother, whose name is Olga,too, was three years old when she camehere from Yugoslavia with my grandmother,Katherine Kozelisky. Grandfather Kozeliskywas already here working in the coalminesand sent for them.
Grandmother Kozelisky is the personwho would eventually deliver me into thisworld. I joined my parents Slava and OlgaGregorich and my two older sisters andone older brother.
As kids we were free to go everywhere.We weren’t even afraid to go out into thewoods. In the winter we would take to-boggans from the school and use them toslide down what they used to call theeighth grade ski hill across the field from toour school in Ronald. We’d go on sleighrides there, too.
In the summer, I remember going mush-room hunting with my dad. We kids wouldride bikes down to the river pretty muchevery day.
My family used to picnic a lot. We wentto a place called Spring Creek, lots of fam-ilies did, but you probably couldn’t find itnow because over the years the area hasbuilt up so much.
Another place we’d go picnicking is atSalmon la Sac. That’s a place that was therewhen I was a kid, and it’s still there for anyof you to enjoy as well.
We loved going to school every day.We’d have dances and learned things likesquare dancing. We had our plays and weall got to participate in those.
I was still in grade school when I firststarted playing the piano. I used to prac-tice on our kitchen table before I got apiano of my own.
Music was always important in our fam-ily. Grandfather Kozelisky had his own or-chestra made up of his sons who playedthe guitar, accordion and mandolin.
My brother played the guitar and wewould play after dinner and all of us sing –we did this every day.
When we would get together on theweekend, the neighbors would come overand we’d dance at our house. I alwayswondered why the floor didn’t cave in be-cause it was really moving.
A girlfriend and I would walk to Roslynevery Sunday to go to church. Then we’d goto a movie in the afternoon. You know
where the Brick Tavern is in Roslyn? That usedto be the movie house, down in the lowerpart. Then we’d walk home in the dark.
My mom taught me how to embroiderand crochet, and I still do a lot of crocheting.
I learned to cook from my mom; too, soof course I do a lot of the ethnic cooking.And I love to bake. When we put the cook-book together from the Ronald CommunityClub, we were trying to get some of mymother’s recipes in there, so I had to helpher because you know they never meas-ured anything. It was always a dash of thisand a dash of that.
In 1956 I married Robert Newton andhad three children, Larry, LuAnn and Lori.
It’s kind of funny, Lori, my youngest, saidshe’d never leave here. Larry and LuAnnsaid they’d never stay. Now it’s just the op-posite. They live here and Lori lives in NorthBend, Washington.
I laughingly say I’ve worked everywherein the upper county. For a lawyer, the NWICompany, a grocery store, post office, drugstore, several mini-marts and 24 years forCle Elum-Roslyn School District.
I’m retired now, but you wouldn’t knowit. I stay busy all the time. I’m the treasurerof the Cle Elum Eagles Auxiliary; I belong tothe Red Hats, the Heritage Club, RonaldCommunity Club, and the Croatian Lodge. Ialso play twice a week for the co-op pre-school Busy Buddies.
One thing I’d like you to know is, this isa great place to live and be involved withother people and the whole community.It’s a place where you can walk down thestreet and talk to anyone. It’s not like thatin the big city.
Actually, I said I wouldn’t trade mychildhood here, but I wouldn’t trade mywhole life living here. I just bet you’ll cometo feel the same way.
Welcome to Kittitas County!Olga Newton - 2011 Pioneer Days Queen
Welcome!
This is a place where you can walk down the street and talk to anyone
2011 Pioneer Days Queen Olga Newton welcomes you to Kittitas County.

… loosely but aptly translated from Italianto English, ‘go gaga for garlic’ at CleElum’s Bagna Caulda Festival. Everyyear in February locals and visitors con-verge for the garlic overdose of the year.What’s Bagna Caulda? It’s a sauce fromthe mountains of Piedmont, Italy, over theyears adopted and embellished by upperKittitas County residents. Bagna Caulda consistsof garlic, anchovies, olive oil, butter, and in some recipes of the re-gion – cream. Spoon it over raw, boiled or roasted vegetables, es-pecially carrots, peppers and cauliflower, artichokes and onions.To give you an idea of what it takes to make the festival happen:Eighteen batches of Bagna Caulda, enough to feed a little over ahundred people, require 22-pounds of garlic, 30-pounds of but-ter, 18-cans of anchovies, and three gallons of olive oil. ComeBagna night in Cle Elum, a half dozen or more locals warm up thatmany electric griddles – and the feast begins. While the crowd set-tles down, table-to-table serenading is not an uncommon sight.Every year the affair transforms into one of the season’s big diningevents for locals and visitors, highlighted with music, spirits, localhandmade sausage, local homemade breadsticks, and dessert.Bagna Caulda night is an opportunity to experience the rich cul-tural heritage of upper Kittitas County. For more information con-tact the Cle Elum-Roslyn Chamber of Commerce at 509-674-5958.

From there,every year, they head north, tothe Gulf of Alaska, to fatten upbefore navigating their waythousands of miles back hometo Kittitas County to spawnand die. In 2009, scientistsmapped over 1,500 salmonnests (redds) in the YakimaRiver and its tributaries. SpringChinook symbolize a remark-able cycle of nature explained
by the hosts at the hatcheryduring tours offered from Maythrough September.

Ferret out
countywide history“Can you hear me now?” That wasn’t always a cell phone catch phrase. In the age of operator-
assisted calls an operator might say that as she realigned the connec-tion on her switchboard. “Yes operator, I can hear you,” wasthe hoped for response. “Connect me with number 301.”So it went in the Cle Elum area until Sept. 18, 1966, whenPacific Northwest Bell closed its office here - opting to gowith direct dial service. That office was the last hold out of
manual, switchboard phone service in the PNW Bellsystem. One year later, the building was donatedto the Northern Kittitas County Historical Soci-ety to be used as a Telephone Museum. The
original switchboard takes center stage, alongwith behind the scenes equipment illustrating just
what it took to make those telephone connections. Also ondisplay: phones from 1901 to 1970. Other exhibits include
a collection of coalmining artifacts, and memorabiliafrom Cle Elum State Bank, the financial anchor for the
community for over 50 years. At one time the bankprinted its own money. See an example framedand on display at the museum, 221 E. First St.,
Cle Elum. Open Memorial Weekend - Labor Day, Noonto 4:00 pm. For more information: www.nkcmuseums.org.

Many places in Kittitas County re-quire parking permits. By having thecorrect permit on your dash whenyou park, you help generate fundsfor the maintenance of public land.When it’s snowing, the funds fromparking permits are used to pay forsnowplow maintenance, an opera-tor, and usually porta-johns. When it’snot snowing, permit fees help un-derwrite several other importantmaintenance features at trailheads.
National Forest permitsNorthwest Forest Pass (or a Fed-
eral Recreation Pass) is required atposted areas and trailheads on Na-tional Forest lands. There are a fewtrailheads with ‘self-pay’ stations forpurchasing a one-day parking pass,or you may purchase an annual passat a retailer or forestry office. Inter-agency Passes can be used in placeof a NW Forest Pass. Interagency Ac-cess Passes are issued free of chargeto all persons with a provable med-
ical disability and it will be honoredfor their lifetime. Interagency SeniorPasses may be obtained for $10 ifyou are 65 or older. Those passesare good for life.

on these public lands. A free Vehi-cle Use Permit is included with yourfishing license or you can purchaseone separately from WDFW. Signsare generally posted when youmust display the pass in a parkedvehicle, but sometimes signs aremissing. The permit is required
whether signs are visible or not.
Washington State ParksThe Washington State Parks and
Recreation Commission charges adaily or annual fee for a Natural In-vestment permit. The permit is re-quired for the following activities instate parks system-wide: Watercraftlaunching and trailer dumping. An-nual permits are available for pur-chase at State Parks headquartersin Olympia, regional offices, onlineand in person at the parks whenstaff is available.

Motorized SnoPark Permits and Snowmobile Registrations
All snowmobiles must be regis-tered through Washington State De-partment of Licensing (DOL) or alicensing agent, even if a personrides only on his or her own prop-erty. The only snowmobiles exemptfrom registration are those that aregovernment-owned and those reg-istered in another state or Canadianprovince. Operators from states not
requiring registration must obtain a60-day registration permit from DOL.Snowmobile registrations are validOct. 1 through Sept. 30. A registra-tion includes one SnoPark permit(an automobile parking permit re-quired at designated SnoParks) foreach registered snowmobile.

Welcome from USFS District Ranger Judy Hallisey
I moved to Cle Elum two years ago to become the District Ranger for theCle Elum Ranger District. I wanted to come back to the Pacific Northwest to benear family. To be ‘Eastside’ in a small Washington town in the mountains is adream come true. Every day I discover something new to appreciate aboutthis special place. The spectacular views of the mountains and the opportuni-ties to explore the public lands in all seasons are priceless. I spend much of mytime both on the job and during my personal time discovering new areas of thenational forest. My husband and I are often out walking, hiking, snowshoeingand bicycling in the company of our dog. It is great being able to safely bike totown and to work. Kittitas County motorists are some of the most respectfuldrivers to walkers and bicyclers anywhere I’ve lived. Two long time interests ofmine are bird watching and geology-geomorphology. Kittitas County offers thebest in both. I am so impressed with the geology of this area. I’ve heard this areacalled the ‘Disneyland of Geology’ and that is so true. The land, its landforms,land processes and creation fascinate me. My husband and I are members ofthe Ellensburg’s Ice Age Flood Institute and take advantage of that organiza-tion’s lectures and field trips. The Geology Department of Central WashingtonUniversity is a great resource for the public to tap into. Their professors reachout to the public to share their knowledge through presentations, classes andfield trips. I couldn’t have landed in a better spot. Wildlife watching is alwaysinteresting and unexpected, especially the birds as the variety changes withthe seasons. The first organization I joined upon moving to Cle Elum was the El-lensburg chapter of Audubon where I found good friends willing to share theirexpertise and experiences. They welcome novices and experts alike to theirmany field trips and presentations. Cle Elum Ranger District is home to the rareNorthern Spotted Owl of which I’ve been privileged to see. I especially enjoyintroducing my family members and friends to the recreational opportunitiesthis area offers. My sister and one of my sons went snowshoeing for the firsttime in their lives. The Snoqualmie Pass Visitor Center leads interpretative snow-shoe walks I recommend as a great way to enjoy winter. My husband back-packs into the wilderness and accompanies me on day hikes he never thoughthe’d ever experience. I intend to hike every trail on the Cle Elum District beforeI retire. I am looking forward to taking my grandson on the trails in a few years.This setting and its recreational opportunities add such quality to my life.

Do you see yourself wearing a‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ hat step-ping with stealth through thewilderness in search of long-buried treasure? Or, maybe youjust like being outside with some-thing interesting to do? Eitherway GEO-CACHING is a great ac-tivity. It started in Seattle in theyear 2000, not long after GPS
units became available to thepublic. From there the activity hasspread all over the world. All youreally need is a compass and yourown feet, but a GPS makes thingseasier and gives you access tomore hunts. You can find hunts inany area by visiting geo-caching.com and plugging in thearea code. Look through the
lineup and determine by the rat-ings which hunt is for you. Theyrange from easy to difficult bothin locating the cache and the ter-rain you’ll have to travel. Coordi-nates and clues are provided. Thefirst thing you’ll find in a cache isthe logbook. There you’ll find in-formation on the cache founderand other visitors. Make sure you
leave the date and time youfound the cache. Then there’s thetreasure, there for the taking, butbe sure to leave something youbrought for the next hunter. Ideasfor treasures: money (alwaysgood), videos, small books, maps,CDs, etc. Leaving whatever youselect in a zip lock plastic bag is agood idea.

If you’re looking for achallenge or something quickand easy, you’ll find it here. Inthe easy category try the 4-mileCoal Mines Trail between CleElum and Ronald where you canbike, hike or ride a horse – andin the winter ride a snowmobile. The John Wayne Pioneer Trail inthe Iron Horse State Park is an-other trail that’s easy to tra-verse, but it’s a long onestretching almost 100 miles. Many of the easily accessedparts are right here in thiscounty. In the more challeng-ing department try the 17.6-mile Cascade Crest Trail with itsvarying elevations reaching to3,746 feet above sea level. Thetotal elevation difference forthis backpacking and hiking trailis 2,024 feet. Every trail in the
county has its own characterand features to recommend it.You just have to be sure you’reon the right trail for your activ-ity. Stop to read the signs attrailheads.

year in Vietnam as a Seabee, I returned home and mar-ried Randine, my high school sweetheart. Shortly afterthat I got into logging some I and shoed horses. For thelast 25-years we’ve owned and operated a sausagecompany together, here in Cle Elum. The business isstaffed largely by my family. Today, Randine and I havefive kids and ten grandchildren. Making salami and kiel-basa is part of our heritage. For the last eight years, inaddition to running the company I served the peoplehere as mayor because I wanted to help. I’ve alwaysbelieved kids are our greatest export and my goal asmayor has always been to bring industry in – to keepthem with us. I love it here, because I like a place
where I know everyone. I like making friends withgood-hearted, hard working people. It’s nice to bearound them.
The area here speaks for itself. The Teanaway RiverValley is my favorite, the most beautiful place to me. Ithas campgrounds and good places to fish and hunt. It’sa great place for a Sunday drive. When you visit, I en-courage you to drop in on our local events, to meetthe people here.

We enjoycoffee on the deck under tall pines while shadows catch up tothemselves. You can sit in peace and hear the town begin to stir: Adoor opening here, a car engine starting there, a group of bike rid-ers slowly peddling toward Roslyn’s Urban Forest for a special,healthy but relaxing adventure. I once walked upon a doe and hernewborn fawn while hiking in our Urban Forest.
Roslyn is a place like no other in which I have set foot. Gener-ations of the same families have walked our streets and witnessedchange through the different ways our citizens have made a livingand carried on with business. Coal mining, logging, the film indus-try and now tourism have helped us to survive. We continue to bea special place because of those who have cared and worked sohard to make it happen.
My grandpa was a carpenter. My dad was a coal miner. Mygrandma and mom were supporters of the way of life that they andmany others valued during their everyday activities.
I attended school a half block from the house. Mom watchedmy sister and I coming and going, and we walked home every dayfor lunch. All the townspeople met at the cemeteries during Me-morial Day to honor those that led us to the place we inhabited.
At the end of the day we are able to look to the bright stars inthe night skies. You may hear Johnny being called home, or a dogbeing asked to mind, or the chickens herded into roost from acrosstown. There may also be a hint of music from The Brick that night.
Roslyn is a grand place to live and a perfect place to visit.
Opening a Visitors Center in Roslyn was a realmilestone for the Roslyn Downtown Associationand the City of Roslyn. Thanks to Kittitas Countyand City of Roslyn Hotel/Motel tax awards re-ceived a lease was secured in the historic NWIBuilding at the corner of Pennsylvania Ave andHwy 903, the major intersection in Roslyn. Fromthat location the Visitors Center swung into op-eration in late 2010. It’s already had some impor-tant visitors – students from the University of
Washington, Architecture Department’s Store-front Studio Program who’ve taken on the task ofdesigning the space as well as an exhibit tellingRoslyn’s historical story. They look forward tohaving visitors enjoy the Center and learn of allthe fun commercial, historical and recreationalopportunities available in the area. Open in Juneon the weekends, as funding allows, the Visitorhopes to be open 7 days a week.

Coal Miner’s Memorial in Roslyn
ROSLYN FAST FACTSRoslyn encompasses five square miles, home to alittle over 1,000 people, 467 households, and 249families. Roslyn was founded in 1886 as a coal min-ing town. Local history books have reserved chap-ters for the Coalminer Strike of 1888, the No. 4Coalmine Explosion in 1892, when 45 miners werekilled, and the Bank Robbery of 1892, when theMcCarty Gang held up a bank in Roslyn. From1990-1995, the television series Northern Expo-sure was filmed in Roslyn. Some locals tell storiesabout their roles as extras. Recently, Roslyn Ceme-tery, an unusual and tourist-attracting collection ofethnic cemeteries has seen major restorationwork, and continues to draw people from all overthe country and parts of the world.
Coal is still King in Roslyn, eventhough the mineral isn’t mined hereanymore. It was the reason for thetown’s birth out of wilderness andmountains, and it went on to influ-ence and shape much of the commu-nity’s history. That history is preservedat the Roslyn Museum, where thetown’s coal-fueled glory days arerecorded in tangible artifacts and ex-hibits. A community of incredible eth-nic diversity, Roslyn once bustled withover 20 nationalities. Notable forsome significant firsts including thefirst Boy Scout Troop and the firstAfrican American mayor in Washingtonstate, Roslyn’s reach exceeded itssmall town beginnings when it became the filming site for the still popular televisions series,Northern Exposure. All that and more is preserved at the museum – the place to start yourfamily or historical research project, or just enjoy stepping back in time to when Coal reallywas King. Roslyn Museum, 203 w.

I warmly welcome you to upper KittitasCounty, my home, my community and the sourceof my vitality. Those of us who are privilegedenough to call the Kittitas Valley our home, rec-ognize the value of a small community, its beautyand its people.
Ours is a community where people still gen-uinely care about their neighbors. It’s a placewhere children can walk, run, and play safely onour streets and in our parks. We live in a com-munity where it’s impossible to go to the grocerystore without running into friends or neighbors.Ours is a community where the locals still swarmcity sidewalks for our numerous smalltown pa-rades. Here we still know the meaning of highschool football and Friday nights under thelights, and you’ll find us there in the bleacherscheering on our hometown team as soon as thesun goes down. Go Warriors!
Upper Kittitas Valley is more than just myhome, it is my refuge. As an avid outdoorsman,I can think of no better place to wake up eachmorning. Being able to hunt, fish, camp, boat,snowmobile and hike from my own backdoor islike living a continuous vacation.
I cherish the ability to pass down smalltownvalues to my children, as well as a love and ad-miration for the forests we call our backyard. Werespect what nature has given us, and ask visi-tors to adopt that same reverence.
I again welcome you to Kittitas County, oneof the most beautiful places in the state. I am cer-tain you will enjoy the recreation, beauty, peopleand the serenity of the place we call home.

The event re-volves around the Town Parkand Washington State Parks’ 12-acre Iron Horse State Park, thesite of a Cascade Rail Founda-tion project to improve andshowcase historic MilwaukeeRoad facilities at South Cle ElumDepot. The railroad site has be-
come a significant resource forthe region and the nation, be-cause it represents the story ofthe Milwaukee's electrificationand extension route throughthe mountains of the great Pa-cific Northwest. The Milwaukeeis considered one of the mostsignificant railroads ever to existin the United States. South CleElum is home to the old rail-yard, the 1909 Depot, beauti-fully restored, and a substationcompleted in 1920. Still stand-
ing but in private ownership arethe three operators’ bunga-lows. Take a stroll along a2,200-foot, 18-stop, ADA-ac-cessible interpretive trailthrough the railyard, whichhelps tell the story. The townprovides easy access to JohnWayne Pioneer Trail, which runsthe length of the 110-mile longIron Horse State Park, the pathof the original rails laid down bythe Milwaukee Railroad. Ifyou’re in the mood for fly-fish-
ing, South Cle Elum is host to anaccess point on the YakimaRiver, where you can loweryour raft or floatboat for a lazydrift downriver. After a longday, you can spend the night ata bed and breakfast acrossfrom the railyard – in an au-thentic caboose. Directions toSouth Cle Elum from Seattle: onI-90 eastbound, take Exit 84into Cle Elum. Take a right atthe intersection of First andStafford streets.
Kittitas County, with its towns andcities, is a nice place to be. We areon the brink of being a very, verynice place to be, and we’d love tohave you as a neighbor, to join us inwhat is evolving as one of the pre-miere regions in the state in terms ofnatural beauty and quality of life.
Come visit us. Take in the sights,sounds, and smells created by thisregion’s pristine alpine surroundings.Recreate, visit our schools and mu-seums, and all the places we have toshare. Maybe … you’ll want to stay.
Four seasons, and everythingthat implies, are at our backdoors.
There’s Spring, with everythinggreening up after winter, daffodilssprouting, robins after their fill ofworms, and herds of deer grazing
in the fields. There’s Summer, with swimming,
boating, camping, hiking, and what-ever you can imagine.
There’s Fall, with high schoolfootball, red foliage, and elk movingtoward their wintering grounds.
And there’s Winter, with highschool basketball, skiing, snowmobil-ing, snowshoeing, ice-skating at Sun-cadia resort, and Christmas in a countythat celebrates the season in many,many ways. Our four seasons truly pro-vide us with a slice of paradise.
Recently, Kittitas County wasnamed one of the healthiest coun-ties in the state. We have an excep-tional health care community.Schools here are also excellent.Central Washington University, a
four-year school, is the choice ofmany of our state’s teachers. Theuniversity, as well as our K-12schools, host a wide range of activ-ities focused on the arts and music.
Celebrations here abound. Foralmost every holiday there is some-thing going on: Labor Day, Rodeoand County Fair, Fourth of July andMemorial Day parades, Festival ofLights at Christmas and more. Thereis never a lack for something to door somewhere to go.
A man I knew used to tell me,“Son, this is the place to be, if youcan stay here and do it. If you canhelp others be here, do it. And if atthe same time you can make it abetter place, then do that, too!”
He was a wise man … my dad.

SOUTH CLE ELUM FAST FACTSincorporated on August 28,1911. The town occupies lessthan a square mile and ishome to 500 people. The faceof the town has changed dra-matically since the day when itwas consumed by a massiverailyard. These days, it showslike a quiet, rural neighbor-hood. Notable residents haveincluded U.S. Coast Guards-man Douglas Albert Munro,first and, so far, the onlyCoastguardsman to receivethe Medal of Honor, which wasbestowed on him for actionabove and beyond the call ofduty during the Battle ofGuadalcanal in World War II.Munro is buried in Cle ElumCemetery, a two-mile drivefrom South Cle Elum.
I’m Park Ranger Chris Patterson. As a representative of the staff at Lake Easton State Park in upperKittitas County, I welcome you. I first came here to attend Central Washington University. I feel in fell lovewith the rural setting. After I graduated in 2006, I knew I wanted to return. My assignment to the Parkallowed me to fulfill that dream. When I was in college, I walked and biked everywhere. Iron HorseState Park and John Wayne Pioneer Trail were a great way to get away from town and see differentsights and – I was still close to home: I live next to the trail. Because of that I’m able to take my dogs fora walk or go for a bike ride. Sometimes I’m the only person on the trail and other times I get to see aneighbor and say hi. I also enjoy stopping by the museum inside the South Cle Elum Depot. There I havethe opportunity to talk to volunteers and visitors. I learn a lot about the history of the railway from thosewho worked for the railroad and from those who grew up in South Cle Elum. As a child, I went camp-ing with my family all the time. That’s one of the things I love best about the campground at Lake Easton. I enjoy walking around, observingfamilies having fun, and smelling the barbecued food. Come visit. Come enjoy the many experiences Washington State Parks provide.

Liberty is a tiny, unincorporated mountain village bordered on all sides by the WenatcheeNational Forest. On the National and State Historical Register since October 1974, Liberty grewon the backs of miners when in 1873 gold was discovered in Swauk Creek, known then forlarge nuggets. You can get to Liberty with a righthand turn on Liberty Road off SR97, if you’redriving from Cle Elum to Blewett Pass. Liberty Road is a gateway to miles of undeveloped roadsinto forest and mountain backcountryincluding USFS Road 3530, CougarGulch Road, and Williams Creek Road.As you drive through the village, notethe aging, solid wood exteriors of thefew homes you pass. They reflect thespirit of the people who have chosenLiberty as their home. Checkout thehistorical kiosk outside the local com-munity-fire hall – and the historicalphotos inside. Liberty also has an un-attended campground. A quarter-mile before you reach the LibertyRoad turnoff, look for a sign posted bya local miner, who frequently offersfamilies a chance to pan for gold.

COMMUNITIES50
Welcome
from Sheriff Gene Dana
My wife Candi and I have lived in Kitti-tas County for 27-years and truly appreci-ate the quality of life.
We live here because we don’t haveto fight rush hour. We have a low crimerate, outstanding and friendly services,and plenty of fun things to do.
During the winter I enjoy snowshoe-ing, downhill skiing and snowmobiling.Summer months I spend hiking, floating orfly-fishing the Yakima River.
With mountains, forests, lakes andrivers, there is no excuse for not gettingenough fresh air and exercise.
Visitors enjoy the great restaurantshere, wine tasting and visiting our localmuseums and galleries.
Central Washington University pro-vides opportunities to enjoy sportingevents as well as music and the arts.
I always have a house full of guests forEllensburg’s Jazz in the Valley and LaborDay Weekend.
The county is full of history and inter-esting people who respect each other’srights and insist on a safe community. Iknow my neighbors well. They watch myhouse and take in my mail when I’m away.That’s what good neighbors do, and thisregion is full of good neighbors.
Our county has many areas reminis-cent of Norman Rockwell’s America. Apilot friend who flies and stays at exoticplaces all over the world once com-mented nothing gives him more pleasurethan thinking about relaxing with a beerin a rocking chair on my front porch.
There is no doubt in my mind that ourcounty is a great place to raise a family, tolive, to work and to play.
