JESSE SINES FOR THE SENTINEL The Art Gallery has been making progress with its back room and enticing the community of Goldendale to come and see their “Big Art” in the back. “It’s really nice, when we have second Thursdays we can put tables in here, there’s a nice open feel to it,” ex- plains Olivia Holderman, one of the newest members. “I’m a relatively new artist, so I’m just getting a feel for running the cash register and how to write up different things.” Some will recall that the Art Gallery had moved in July, from their place on Main Street to 614 South Columbus next to CarQuest. Jim Walter, President of the Golden Art Guild recalls, “We just needed more display space, and we’ll use part of it as classroom space.” The new building gave them new opportunities and a massive back room that needed some work, but is now ANDREW CHRISTIANSEN REPORTER A large crowd filled the Lions’ meeting room in Lyle last week for what was to be an informational meeting. What transpired was more of a venting of distrust, anger, and mostly opposition to- ward the Friends of the Co- lumbia Gorge (FOCG) and what the crowd was led to be- lieve was a plan to remove private land from the Lyle tax base. The meeting was moder- ated and orderly, but the message and reaction was decidedly one-sided. The au- dience heard Oren John- son’s perspective of a plan by the FOCG, Washington Department of Natural Re- sources (DNR) and Washing- ton Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) to develop trails on property north and east of Lyle. Johnson learned about planning meetings among representa- tives of FOCG and the state agencies and sat in on each meeting. He characterized them as unadvertised meet- ings that purportedly were to include public input. He said a handout provided for last week’s meeting was in- accurate, with the exception of the first item, which states the project is to “de- velop a plan for non-motor- ized multiple-use trail sys- tem.” The sentence further states “that is respectful of the community, land-owners and land managers,” with which Johnson took issue. Other points in the handout included statements of who is involved in the effort; whose land is proposed to be involved; a comment that no Klickitat County funds would be used for construc- tion or maintenance; that no land will be acquired for the project; the tax base would not be reduced; and no trails have been actually planned to date and instruction about how the public can become involved. The entire text of the handout is available on line at www.tinyurl.com/ lyletrailFAQs. Johnson shared a series of maps to make a case for an increasing amount of pri- vate land being taken off the tax rolls since the establish- ment of the National Scenic Area. He made reference to Lyle Point as an example of lost tax base and said that the 550 acre property of FOCG would take approxi- mately $12,500 from the tax rolls. Johnson concluded his presentation with a map which he said represents FOCG plans to convert all of the private land within the National Scenic Area into public land, thus removing most of Lyle’s tax base. In addition, Johnson and members of the audience stated concerns about un- foreseen consequences, indi- rect expenses associated with fire, rescue and law en- forcement requirements, loss of DNR grazing income and problems associated with trail use, such as trash, crime and disturbance of wildlife. Dan Miller of the Nation- al Park Service spoke to the audience on behalf of the planning group. Miller said he provides technical assis- tance to locally led projects on behalf of the National Park Service. Miller said his role is to facilitate plans for trails and that he became in- volved when FOCG applied for assistance. Miller said his recommendation was to develop a strategy to find out what the community wanted in regards to trails. He said no trails are planned as yet, since they are in the stage of determining if a new trail is warranted. To further that strategy, Miller said an open house will be held at the Lyle Community Center on Dec. 11, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Miller is also overseeing an on-line survey to determine community opinions about what might be needed. The survey can be accessed at www.surveymonkey.com/s/ Lyletrails. The introduction to the survey says, “A group of local area residents and landowners (The Lyle Com- munity Trail System Plan- ning Team) are looking into the potential to expand a legal, formalized trail sys- tem in and around the Lyle community. This expanded trail system would be non- motorized and only be locat- ed on willing public and pri- vate landowners [sic] . It would be designed to be re- spectful of adjacent neigh- bors and not impact the nat- ural and cultural resources of the area.” The survey in- JIM FISHER FOR THE SENTINEL Santa Claus made a thor- ough tour of Klickitat County last week, aided by members of the Klickitiat County Sher- iff’s Office (KCSO) and Search and Rescue volunteers (KCSR) as part of their annu- al Operation: Sleighbells pro- gram.

tions that identify the re-spondent’s residence, ageand types of uses of trailsin addition to level of inter-est in seeing an expandedtrail system at Lyle.A number of people in

the audience were skepticalabout the survey andwhether there was a sin-cere attempt to determinethe will of residents in Lyleand the surrounding area.Miller said the intent is todetermine interests of resi-dents and that if there wasno interest, National ParkService “would walk away”from the project. Miller alsostated that the projectwould not remove landfrom the tax rolls. He fur-ther stated that there are nograzing contracts on theDNR tract. Renee Tkach, Gorge

Towns to Trails projectmanager for FOCG, ad-dressed some of the issuesraised by Johnson and theaudience. Tkach stated thatinterest in looking at an ex-panded trail system was theresult of increased use ofthe cherry orchard trails,east of Lyle. She added thatFOCG initiated talks withthe DNR and WDFW, whoare public landowners inthe area. She also statedthat as a non-profit organi-zation, FOCG is not re-quired to pay taxes on the550 acres they own adjacentto Lyle, but they choose topay taxes that amount toabout $21/acre. Tkach alsoindicated that FOCG hasabout 100 members who areprivate land owners in theLyle area. Any trails devel-oped would be on FOCGland, public land and anywilling landowner’s land,she added. She said that let-ters are going out to adja-cent landowners to gaugetheir interest in havingtrails on their land.No timeline was given on

when decisions would bemade. Miller said that rep-resentatives of FOCG andDNR would be at the Dec. 11meeting to answer morequestions. Anyone who isunable to complete the sur-vey on-line can pick up asurvey on Dec. 11 or contactMiller at P.O. Box 1566,White Salmon, WA 98672 orcall (360) 816-6232.

Works Director Karl Enyeartsays that possible contami-nation of the Columbia Riverwon’t affect Goldendale’saquifers. The well sourcesare “well above the Colum-bia,” Enyeart says. Hood River WaterPlay is

one of those businesses thatrelies solely on the ColumbiaRiver. If such a disaster hap-pened at Hanford, HoodRiver WaterPlay generalmanager Jack Wilderscheidsays that he would take him-self out of business.“I’m not going to kill peo-

ple to make a buck,” saidWilberscheid. “They [the fed-eral government] are notgoing to pay for their mis-takes, we are.”Although scientists are

unsure of how big of anearthquake could cause sucha shutdown, the area is nostranger to undergroundtremors. In mid-November, a small

3.2-magnitude earthquakehit just north of Richland,close to the Columbia Gener-ating Station. WPSR saysthat the active power plant atHanford, Columbia Generat-ing Station, is susceptible tomajor damage from a power-ful earthquake. This isn’t the first time

that the area has experiencedminor tremors, either. A sim-ilar-sized earthquake hit ap-proximately the same area inMay 2011, reported the Tri-City Herald.Dr. Steven Gilbert, Direc-

tor and Founder of the Insti-tute of Neurotoxicology andNeurological Disorders(INND) and Affiliate Profes-sor at the University ofWashington, says that theColumbia Generating Sta-tion has the same vulnerabil-ity as the reactor had atFukushima. “The risks [of operating

the plant] are not worth thebenefit,” said Gilbert, who isalso the interim President ofWPSR. “It makes no sense.”Gilbert also says that it’s

not just radioactive wastethat is leaking, but that thereare several other carcino-genic chemicals mixed inwith it.“It [the cleanup],” he

added, “has to be a nationalpriority.”Gilbert agrees with Mike

Geffre, another whistleblow-er on Hanford issues, andsays that they need to contin-ue to prevent river contami-nation while also cleaning upthe waste inside the tanks. Both Geffre and Gilbert

say that the “pump and treatsystem” that is currentlybeing used has done a goodjob at preventing a lot ofthose chemicals from gettinginto the Columbia River. Thewater in the deep wells alongthe Columbia River nearHanford is being pumped outbefore it hits the river, treat-ed for the cancer-causingchemicals, and pumped backin.“We need more money to

do that kind of stuff,” Geffre

said. Spending that moneynow, he says, is going to savetaxpayers much more moneyin the future. Adam Russell, spokesper-

son for Department of Ener-gy (DOE) Office of River Pro-tection in Richland, says thatcleanup at Hanford will becompleted in fiscal year 2070and will cost between $102.1billion and $107.5 billion. The WTP is ultimately

funded by taxpayers throughthe federal government. However, current prob-

lems at Hanford are stilllooming and will continue toaffect more than just water. DOE has a plan to vitrify

the radioactive waste at Han-ford into glass logs. This pro-ject is referred to as theWaste Treatment Plant(WTP) project, and is cur-rently under construction.Bechtel, the lead contractorfor the WTP project, original-ly bid $4.3 billion to constructit and said it would takeseven years. That was in2001. Approximately $13 billion

has been spent on the WTPso far. According to the U.S.Office of Management andBudget, Bechtel has beenpaid $9.1 billion by U.S. gov-ernment agencies for theirwork in Washington State.Part of the reason there’s

a stall in the plan is thatthere are several safety con-cerns lingering. Whistle-blower Dr. Walter Tamo-saitis, who was laid off fromURS Corp, the subcontractorfor Bechtel at Hanford, inearly October, was one of theemployees who tried to bringup safety problems to man-agement at the Hanford site. “I raised safety concerns,

and URS removed me fromthe job,” Tamosaitis said.In 2005 and 2006, he led a

study that identified 28 is-sues with the WTP that hadto be addressed, but Tamo-saitis says that the issueswere just closed, not fixed. “‘Closed’ means we just

administratively said, ‘thisissue is closed,’” Tamosaitisexplained. Projections about how

long the cleanup will takeand how much it will cost arestaggering. Dr. Michelle Gerber, au-

thor of On the Home Front:The Cold War Legacy of theHanford Nuclear Site and aprevious Hanford employee,estimates it will take at least100 years and over $100 bil-lion to finish cleanup. Gerberwas the Hanford site histori-an for 21 years but spokewithout association withHanford. Throughout World War II

and the Cold War, nuclearwaste from immense plutoni-um production at Hanford,which was part of the top-se-cret Manhattan Project, wasput into underground stor-

age tanks. These tanks werecalled single-shell tanks(SSTs), and were built to lastonly 20 years. Since their construction

and up until 2000, the SSTshave leaked at least one mil-lion gallons of radioactivewaste into the soil, says Ecol-ogy spokesperson ErikaHolmes. This waste hasreached the groundwater, anapproximate 200-foot journeythrough the hard earthunder Hanford. Then, double-shell tanks

were built between the late’70s and the mid ’80s and oneof them is now leaking be-tween its two shells.In 2012, DOE announced

the leak, but Geffre says thathe discovered the leak al-most a year before his em-ployer, Washington RiverProtection Solutions(WRPS), and DOE an-nounced it. His concernswere ignored, he says. “They [WRPS] just didn’t

want to believe it,” Geffresaid. “They didn’t want todeal with a situation likethat. Almost like it would goaway.”Geffre, a veteran instru-

ment technician at WRPS, re-tired Wednesday, Nov. 27, buthe plans to continue makingnoise about Hanford.“I think I can do more

things from the outside thanfrom the inside,” Geffreadded. Hanford’s mess continues

to migrate to the ColumbiaRiver and that means com-munities that sit along itsbanks could be in danger ifimmediate action isn’t taken.However, according to Ecolo-gy, it will still take decadesfor the waste to reach the Co-lumbia River, if it does at all.During the week of Nov.

18, Geffre said that WRPSdiscovered that between 600-1000 gallons of high-levelwaste has leaked from theinner shell of the double-shell tank mentioned above.This waste is still being con-tained by the outer shell, butit is highly corrosive and itwon’t hold forever, says Gef-fre. All agree it is difficult to

overestimate how much com-munities along the ColumbiaRiver depend upon it eco-nomically and otherwise.“My biggest fear is contami-nating the Columbia River,”Geffre said.

for Santa to use during hislocal travels, donated by ananonymous local business-man, but it was in a state ofdisrepair and was decoratedwith red, stapled-on felt eachyear to match the Big Guy’ssuit. KCSO decided it wastime to take action, raisingfunds for materials and vol-unteering time to restore thesleigh, which now looks re-splendent in red, with whitetrim and black runners.Hooked up behind a Christ-mas-lit sherif f ’s cruisermounted with antlers and abig red Rudolph nose, the re-stored sleigh even has provi-sions for a toe-heater on thosenights that Santa visits dur-ing especially cold weather. Friday was one of those

nights. Nearly 20 bundled-upWishram residents bravedsingle-digit temperatures andgusting flurries of the year’sfirst snow for a chance toclimb up into the sleigh andmake their Christmas wishesknown to Santa Claus at theWishram Train Park. Thoughwind-chill factors occasional-ly dipped the thermometerinto the negative, the crowdremained cheerful, and thedeputies volunteering asstand-ins for elves seemed asjolly as St. Nick himself.

A tree willbe openly displayed, andcanned food for the foodbank can be placed under-neath. Everyone will be al-lowed to place ornamentson the tree to celebrate asense of community.

Each year in late Decem-ber, more than 50,000 birdersacross North America partic-ipate in Audubon’s annualChristmas Bird Count, theworld’s longest-running data-base in ornithology. First con-ducted in 1900, the ChristmasBird Count is a daylong cen-sus of bird populations. Eachlocal count occurs within a15-mile diameter circle. Par-ticipants count all the birdsthey can find within the circlein a 24-hour period. Participants don’t need to

be an expert to participate,and they don’t have to countfor the entire day. Interestedpersons can participate foronly a few hours, their contri-bution is welcome and impor-tant. In any given year, there are

about 50 Christmas BirdCounts in Washington, rang-ing from the mouth of the Co-lumbia River to Colville, and

from Pullman to Bellingham.The results of National

Audubon’s Christmas BirdCount represent more than100 years of continuous dataon trends of early-winter birdpopulations across the Amer-icas. These data-records ofnearly 70,000 individualChristmas Bird Counts fromDec. 25, 1900 through today -are now on-line, available forready access and analysis.

Some 60 percent of Americans—nearly 160 million people—getinsurance through their jobs. Because of Obamacare, that numberis about to nosedive. The president’s signature law is hiking the cost of health insur-

ance for American businesses of all sizes. They’re responding bydumping coverage for workers, spouses, and retirees. Even though the employer mandate, which requires all firms

with 50 or more full-time staffers to provide health coverage or paya fine, has been delayed by one year, the employer health insurancemarket is slowly bleeding out. A few weeks ago, 30,000 grocery workers in Washington state

threatened to go on strike after several supermarket chains an-nounced plans to drop health benefits for part-time workers. Obamacare is even taking away the benefits

of full-time workers—by encouraging their em-ployers to cut their hours and rechristen themas part-timers. A survey conducted by the non-profit International Foundation of EmployeeBenefit Plans found that 15 percent of employ-ers subject to the mandate planned to cut hoursin order to reduce the number of people they’dhave to cover. Spouses also are learning firsthand how Oba-

macare will destabilize their families’ benefits.According to a Towers Watson survey, 12 percent of employers planto drop coverage for spouses next year, up from 4 percent this year. Retirees, too, will increasingly find themselves pushed into Oba-

macare’s exchanges. Consulting firm Aon Hewitt found that nearlytwo-thirds of the companies it surveyed plan to “review their re-tiree health care strategy in light of health care reform.” To fight back against Obamacare-fueled cost increases, many

companies are turning to consumer-directed health plans, whichtypically pair low-premium, high-deductible policies with tax-ad-vantaged Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). These plans empowerpatients to take control of their care. They can save money tax-freein their HSAs and use the proceeds for co-payments and other out-of-pocket costs. And because patients actually own their healthcaredollars, they have strong incentives to spend wisely. That dose ofmarket discipline helps lower overall health costs. HSAs are now the second-most popular employer-provided plan.

Aon Hewitt says that they could become the leader within three tofive years.

Stop cozying up tocoal

To the Editor:Some thoughts for the author of a

recent letter saying that he couldn'tsee coal dust coming off of coaltrains and that those who said theydid must be liars:The coal company admits that

hundreds of pounds of coal per carare lost between the loading of thetrain and the unloading of the train.Where does it go? Much of it likelyblows off soon after the trains starttheir trip west (with toxic effect onthe people and land there), but someis surely blown free all along theroute. The particles of coal that dodamage to human and animal lungsand to crops are very, very small.Could it be they just don't form acloud that would be visible to some-one standing near the tracks, butthat in total amount of dust wouldbe significant? Another question is, who profits

from this transportation of coalthrough our region? Certainly thecoal companies and the railroads.And some jobs are created wherethe coal is loaded onto ships, thoughthat is a mainly automated process. Who loses by the transportation

of coal? Anyone along the route, I'dsay, but particularly in the narrow,fragile Columbia Gorge. The Gorgealready has many trains passingthrough per day, and a lot moretrains are promised if the currentproposals are approved. The noise,congestion, diesel exhaust and prob-able coal dust pollution will only in-crease. Should we allow any num-ber of trains just because Chinawants to buy coal and coal compa-nies want to sell it? Decisions about

whether or not to allow the trainsshould be made based on evidenceand a careful weighing of pros andcons, not on knee-jerk opinions andname-calling. We have a world-class wonder of

nature in our backyard. Agricul-ture, fishing, a wide variety ofsports, and tourism provide a lot ofjobs in the area. Businesses thatcould go anywhere are located herebecause it is such an attractive placeto live. Why allow profits for a few tojeopardize that?

Too many eaglesdying

To the Editor:How many eagles have to die

from bad Obama policies?We have seen fewer eagles here in

our own state/county. Is anyonetalking about it? Pretty soon theywill put another extinction act intoplay because of their own igno-rance. What hypocrites! I love birdsand all wildlife. This letter is myprotest!

Time to get on thecannibisbandwagon

To the Editor:Cannabis legalization means bil-

lions of dollars for Washington. Canyou imagine some peripheral busi-

nesses it will create? It was busi-nesses supporting the CaliforniaGold Rush that became rich, notprospectors!Make no mistake, this is world

history in the making, a pendulumswing toward our ancestors’cannabis-rich roots when Americancolonists enacted a Virginia law in1619 which required cannabis pro-duction for farmers. In 1762 Vir-ginia imposed penalties for thosewho didn't produce. PresidentsWashington and Jefferson werecannabis farmers, and manycannabis sativa fields were grownby patriotic Revolutionary War-erafarmers. From 1942 to 1946, after the1930s plant prohibition laws wereenacted, the USDA had a Hemp forVictory program and released a 1942film urging farmers to grow hempfor World War II. Hemp comes fromthe same marijuana plant; it is thestalk, not the buds. Our state fromthe governor, to BLS, to Departmentof Revenue and all visionaries areeager to be part of this exciting his-tory and high times ahead; stillthere seem to be a few uninformedsouls who want to burn their neigh-bors at the stake for their potentialinvolvement in this new legal indus-try which will obliterate illegalback alley purchases. Ancientanointed ones were drenched incannabis. Cannabis appreciationunites people from all walks of life.Fear is born of ignorance. Educateyourself, and let's do our part to beresponsible, follow laws, and sharefactual information. Small towntongue-wagger or patriotic vision-ary: the choice is yours! Smoke ’em(or eat ’em) if you got ’em!

Three class winners at atough, early season meet iswarning enough to membersof the SCAC that Goldendalehas a wrestling team to con-tend with this year.The Timberwolves place

fourth at Saturday’s Davis In-vitational at Davis HighSchool, in Yakima. SCACrival, and State team champi-on, Granger was first in themeet with 134 points. Selah(126.5) and Eisenhower (120)also finished ahead of Gold-endale who had 97 points.Other teams at the meet werehost Davis, Naches Valley,Prosser and White Swan.Seniors Jakeb Partlow,

Kyle Wilkins and Dean En-stad led the Wolves, eachgoing 3-0 to win their weightclasses. Partlow won at 195pounds, Wilkins at 182 andEnstad at 160. Each had to de-feat fellow Timberwolfwrestlers on their way to thetitles. Goldendale had one ofthe larger entries in the meet,forcing several Wolf on Wolfmatches. One of the more en-tertaining was a tough battlebetween Wilkins andCameron Read. Read, a fresh-man gave Wilkins all he couldhandle for three rounds.

Wilkins, who placed sixth atState last year, won the match6-0. He won the final matchover Granger’s Juan Zamora.Read finished with a 2-2record, placing fourth.Partlow and Zane Cully

had a spirited match untilPartlow finally ended it witha pin. He would go on to de-feat Alec Ray, of Selah for thetitle. Enstad had a friendlywalk-over in his final asBryce Wilkins handed thematch to his teammate with aforfeit. Wilkins finished sec-ond with a 2-1 record.Adding to Goldendale’s

points were experiencedwrestlers from last year’ssquad, second place finisherMark Briggs, 2-1 at 152pounds, and third place fin-isher Reggie Sargeant, 2-1 at220 pounds, Freshman wrestlers will be

a big part of Goldendale’s pro-gram this year and they wereup to the task on Saturday. Inaddition to Read, JeremyMcElroy went 2-1 to finishthird at the 285 pound class.McElroy had to work hard towin his first match, essential-ly pinning his Granger oppo-nent twice. The first time wasa reversal that had the Spar-tan on his back. A mistake bythe time-keepers stopped thematch just as the referee was

about to signal the pin. Thepair went back to work andMcElroy finished what hestarted and advanced.Colby Valladares had a

strong showing with a 1-2record at 145 pounds. Otherfreshmen who competed wereLeroy Miller, 0-2 at 126pounds, Michael Jagelski, 02-at 132 pounds, Joel Jackows-ki, 0-2 at 195 pounds, andConor Holbrook, 0-2 at 145pounds.Others who had strong per-

formances were DanielWedgewood, 2-2 at 145 poundsfor a fourth place finish,Ruben Finn, 1-2 at 170 pounds,Trent Radway, 1-2 at 160pounds, Demetrius McCoy, 1-1at 170 pounds and Cully, whofinished 1-2 at 195 pounds.Other new faces to the teamwere Michael Holmes, asophomore at 182 pounds whowent 0-2 and Avery Walker,another sophomore, 0-2 at 160pounds.Timberwolf wrestlers will

see a lot of tough action in De-cember. They travel to Mat-tawa on Thursday to take onWahluke and perennial pow-erhouse, Warden. Saturday isanother trip north for the al-ways tough Othello Invita-tional. Next week is the first

One bad quartersquelched the GoldendaleTimberwolves’ chance toopen the season with a win.Credit the Wahluke Warriorsfor making half time adjust-ments that resulted in a 23-9third quarter that wiped outGoldendale’s lead and led toa 59-55 win.The Timberwolves domi-

nated the entire first halfthanks to the long rangeshooting of Ivan Howtopatand Kenner Milliren and de-fense that kept the Warriorsaway from the hoop and a 7-23 performance from thefloor.Howtopat, the only fresh-

man on the Goldendale varsi-ty and a starting guard, hithis first three-pointer for theWolves with a shot off theboard. He hit two morethrees without a miss. Mil-liren wasn’t far behind histeammate, hitting two offour attempts beyond the arcin the first half. The Timber-wolves led by as many as 17points in the second quarterand went into half time witha comfortable 34-21 lead.In a flash, the lead evapo-

rated as Wahluke came outfor the third quarter with afull court press, forcing 10

turnovers which gave theWarriors an 18 to eight edgein shots from the floor. AlanCaro found himself in thepaint with the ball repeated-ly in the quarter, scoring 10points, six following offen-sive rebounds.“We didn’t do a great job of

getting a body on somebody,on blocking out in [the] sec-ond half. Our turnovers ledto higher percentage shotsfor them,” said Goldendalecoach, Lance DenBoer. Thestats bore that out. Duringthe entire first half, Wahlukewas just 5-15 on two-pointshots. They were 9-16 in thethird quarter. They alsoowned a 9-4 edge in rebound-ing in a game that was other-wise even on the boards.Goldendale managed to

handle the pressure better inthe fourth quarter and thegame was even to the endwith subtle differences thatkept Goldendale from win-ning the game. Fouls becamea problem and the Warriorshit 8-12 down the stretch tothwart the Goldendale come-back. After hitting a steamy6-9 on three point shots in thefirst half, the Wolves drew ablank with 0-5 shooting be-yond the arc in the final

quarter. The Wolves werewithin two points with 25seconds left in the game.Tyus Squeochs hit a pair offree throws followed by an of-fensive rebound and score byBryce Myra with 8.1 secondsleft. Squeochs was fouledagain and calmly put twomore shots in the bucket tocement the win.Howtopat finished the

game with 14 points to leadGoldendale. Ben Cochranhad 12 points and five re-bounds. J.C. Cline led withseven rebounds, four off theoffensive board. Milliren fin-ished with 11 points and Bri-ley Cameron paced theWolves with three steals.The Timberwolves hit the

road this week with games atToppenish on Tuesday andConnell on Friday before an-other non-league home gameagainst Columbia-Burbankon Saturday, Dec. 14. A juniorvarsity game will be playedat Klickitat, next Tuesday.
