Lincoln County officials continue to consider just what their involve-ment should be in the Creston indus-trial site that once seemed promising as a biodiesel manufacturing plant.

The site belongs to the Public Development Authority, which owes “quite a bit of money” to the state’s Community Economic Revitaliza-tion Board (CERB), which recently agreed to allow the site to be consid-ered as “surplus.”

That could open the door for Lincoln County to submit a bid, county commissioner Ted Hopkins explained Monday, but only “if we can get a guaranteed minimum bid from a private entity that would purchase it from us.”

These Harrington and Odessa’s FFA career development events participants enjoyed their time at the Spokane County Interstate Fair earlier this month: Hannah Schmitt, Elana Hernandez, advisor Erica Whitmore, Lexie Hirst and Ellie Hedgren.

Working together under advi-sor Erica Whitmore, FFA members from Harrington and Odessa showed their dedication and creativity at last month’s Lincoln County Fair.

On Thursday of the fair, Jacob DeWulf was awarded grand champion FFA market swine, while Ryan Green-walt received fi rst blue in his market class on his steer and Lacey Hirst got purple on her beef, allowing her to return for the overall market judging selection, where she earned the re-serve grand champion overall market beef in the barn. Her sister Lexie took home a blue, as did Daniel Mann.

Outside the livestock barns, FFA members received a blue and later were awarded a commissioners award for their FFA display, “Growing Gold and Building Blue,” in the Grange building. It was designed and con-structed by Mackenze Braun, Amanda Hardt, Jessie Whittaker, Elena Her-nandez and Mrs. Whitmore.

Also in the Grange building, tri-fold posters were displayed from the seniors’ International Agriculture project (Rylee Paris, Melissa Gre-enwalt, Jennifer Walter and Mal-larie Bramer) receiving blue and red ribbons. Amanda Hardt entered her memories of the 2009-10 FFA activities with a colorful display of pictures (red ribbon), Matt McMil-lan and Connie designed a wooden silhouette of this year’s fair theme (blue ribbon), Jared King and Koral-ynne Kuch’s FFA Flames sign took a blue, and Kendall Todd, Lacey Nelson and Melanie Baer got blue for their “Where would you be without

agriculture” poster. In the vegetable division Amanda

Hardt received three blues on her straight zucchini, round zucchini and straight yellow squash; these coordinated with her vegetable SAE she worked on all summer in the greenhouse and while working for Andy’s Produce on Wednesdays.

Another highlight was having two of Washington’s FFA offi cers visit and assist during the livestock showing: Paige Druffel, president; and Danyelle Cavadini, sentinel.

On Friday it was back into the show ring for the FFA and 4-Her’s.

Jacob DeWulf took part in fi tting and showing, again getting grand champion for the freshman/sopho-more FFA division earning him a spot in the round robin on Saturday. Ryan Greenwalt’s showmanship skills have improved so much he got a blue, Lexie Hirst won grand champion beef fi tting and showing, Lacey was reserve grand champion and Daniel Mann picked up a blue.

On Saturday during Round Robin, Lexie and Jacob took part in showing fi ve different species (hogs, sheep, large goats, horses and beef). They are scored on a 1-10 scale at each station, allowed to show for fi ve min-utes, and are responsible for learning how to show the species from other fair participants.

Lexie was named top overall showman for the FFA freshman/sophomore category and Peter Rustameyer, a Sprague resident who attends and participates in Davenport’s FFA chapter, was the

With Dad’s position in Keller, he works closely with the Wilbur School District and knows people there. Obviously from his years in Davenport, he’s got a lot of close connections.”

that “they don’t have the roots we have in the community,” but expressed hope that the new Odessa-Harrington school partnership “will renew our

She attended school nine years in Davenport, one year at North Central High School in Spokane and graduated in 1945 from Cheney High School.

She married Victor C. Meyer in Missoula, Mont., in 1945. He lived long enough for the couple to mark their 61st wedding anniversary.

She lived in Seattle, Harrington, Espanola and Spokane before return-ing to Harrington in September 1949.

The commissioners also learned of changes to the Solid Waste Ad-visory Committee (SWAC) by-laws that will allow proxy voting for members who miss a meeting.

The county’s Solid Waste Plan recently received approval from the Town of Reardan and, on Wednesday night, the Davenport City Council. Decisions from Sprague and Almira are yet to be communicated to the county.

of Natural Resources (DNR), the Department of Ecology (DOE) and several counties are working together to collect and destroy barrels. They want to reduce the risk of wildfires in the counties, along with the harmful smoke that wildfires produce.

Outdoor residential burning, il-legal in most parts of Washington, is a leading cause of wildfire ignitions across the state. Wildfires destroy property, harm the environment and endanger people.

They also produce smoke that can harm people. Breathing fine particles in smoke can cause health problems like asthma, emphysema and lung cancer.

Fire danger in Lincoln County decreased over the past week, mainly due to recent precipitation and cooler temperatures, the state DNR reports.

INSIGHTPage 4 Davenport Times Thursday, Sept. 23, 2010

By CHRIS THOMASWashington News Service

Washington’s primary elections take place in mid-August, during the dog days of summer, which may or may not account for last month’s low overall turnout.

The ballot totals by county range from highs of more than 60 percent in Columbia, Lincoln, San Juan and Wahkiakum counties, to lows of 24 to 26 percent in King, Pierce, Sno-homish and Stevens counties.

The statewide average is about 30 percent, which means more than two-thirds of registered voters did not mail in their ballots. Allison Feher, president of the League of Women Voters of Seattle, says some believe changing the primary date from September to August has had a negative effect on voting.

“A lot of people are busy; they’re away on vacation. I don’t know that moving it up made it better for people. It certainly has made it more challenging for us, in terms of get-ting the information together, getting in contact with people, organizing events,” she commented.

The state Elections Division says the primary date was moved in 2007 to ensure that military and overseas voters got their ballots on time.

Mail-in ballots are supposed to be more convenient and less expensive for counties than having polling places, Feher said, adding that they also give people more time to study the issues – if they remember to do so.

“When you have the polling places, there’s a lot of stuff going on that reminds people to get out and vote. But with the all-vote-by-mail process, the deadline can get a little fuzzier and people can miss it. They say, ‘Let’s just toss it in the “I’ll get to that later” pile,’ and then they never do.”

All Washington voters have had the option of voting by absentee ballot since 1993, but only in the past five years have most counties decided to conduct all elections by mail. Pierce County is the only one that still maintains polling places – and it also had the lowest voter turnout last month, at just under 24 percent.

Farm Policies written through

By JUDY OLSONState Executive DirectorWashington Farm Service Agency

Throughout Washington, farmers’ markets overflow with produce this time of year. Trains, trucks and barges haul grains from Eastern Washington to Westside ports. Harvest flurry has started in the state’s billion dollar apple industry. Throughout the state, farms and ranches are producing food, creating jobs, positively impacting our nation’s trade balance and providing wildlife habitat and scenery. This is a good time to reflect on Washington’s farmers and ranchers and how we benefit from their efforts.

One of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s priori-ties is an initiative called “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food.”

This is an effort to create new economic opportunities for farmers and ranchers by better connecting consumers with local producers. It is also the start of a national con-versation about the importance of understanding where

your food comes from and how it gets to your plate. The truth is that not every family needs a lawyer or an

accountant – but every family needs a farmer. And today, there is too much distance between average Americans and their farmer.

Here in Washington, we are blessed with agricultural abundance and diversity. Washington is second only to California in the number of agricultural products pro-duced – more than 230. We are the No. 1 producer of a dozen different crops. We produce more than half the nation’s apples.

All of this bounty grows on more than 39,000 farms in Washington. They range in size from just a few acres of crops grown for farmers’ markets to thousands of acres of wheat raised for export.

Ninety percent of the state’s farms are considered small farms, even most Eastern Washington farms. A small farm is classified as having less than $250,000 in annual sales.

Even small farms have equipment, labor or other

input expenses that run in the tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many of Washington’s farms are family-owned.

Types of crops grown and the amount grown de-pend on climate, productivity of the land, proximity to markets and market demand, farmers’ experience and more. Washington is a leader in the local food move-ment.

The state benefits from having productive farm-land and a temperate climate near large population centers. Farmers are able to grow high value fruits and vegetables, which have a short shelf life, and quickly deliver these products to a large market.

In rural Eastern Washington, where land is less expensive but major markets are farther away and transportation costs higher, many farmers raise fruits and vegetables on larger acreages than in the western portion of the state. Grain farms and livestock operations can easily be 1,000 acres or more. Many crops are sold nationally and internationally, as well as locally. These

farms provide local jobs that include everything from producing packaging materials to harvesting, marketing and transporting crops. They also add to our nation’s trade balance with other nations.

In 2008, Washington exported more than $6.5 billion worth of food and agricultural products. Washington is the third largest exporting state of food or agricultural products in the U.S. About one-third of Washington’s agricultural output is shipped overseas, Washington’s farms, both big and small, contribute to local economies and the overall state economy.

Farms provide benefits beyond food on our plates and jobs to support families and communities. They also supply habitat for wildlife and give us open spaces and beautiful landscapes. Cropland, including pasture-land, encompasses about 8.7 million acres throughout Washington. Take a few moments this week to visit a farmers’ market, a county fair or connect in some way with Washington’s farms and the farmers and ranchers who make it all possible.

10 YEARS AGO (2000)From the Davenport Times

KXLY TV’s “Sports Extra” show featured a live broadcast from the Davenport Community Youth Center at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds after the Davenport football game against Almira/Coulee-Hartline.

Morgan Street was about to be-come a mess, but after new sidewalks and curbs were installed over the next few weeks between Eighth and Fourth Streets, a more pleasant downtown aesthetic was expected.

On its second attempt, the Dav-enport High School modernization bond appeared to be passing, ac-cording to unofficial returns released by the Lincoln County Auditor’s Office

Harrington planned its 55th an-nual Fall Festival, sponsored by the local Lions Club, along with related events in the community.

Niels Peterson, a teacher at Har-rington High School and instrumental force in the Lincoln County Housing Coalition, joined the Harrington City Council.

25 YEARS AGO (1985)From the Davenport Times

Ninety-eight Davenport Grade School students cast their first ballots in a county election.

The Davenport Gorillas overcame the superstition of “Friday, the 13th” and the stigma of holding a record 17-game loss from the past three football seasons by downing the Brewster Bears 21-6.

Davenport’s Nikki Ensor received the highest award presented by

the state fair direc-tors at county fairs: the Washington State Fair Commission

Award Rosette.Elizabeth Mangis, 101, a Lincoln

Nursing Home resident, received the “Best of Show” award in the Lincoln Nursing Home Arts and Crafts divi-sion at the county fair.

Lincoln County auditor Larry Lindbloom, Shelly Telecky of the Auditor’s Office, and two Davenport citizens met with the goal of analyz-ing the elections system and looking for ways to improve it.

50 YEARS AGO (1960)From the Davenport Times

Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Magin were honored guests in an open house ceremony on their golden wedding day.

Opening the season in what might have been the year’s big game, the Davenport High School football team staged a third quarter rally to beat the Tigers at Odessa by a 13-7 score.

Diane Reinbold, a student nurse at Pacific Lutheran University, was capped among a class of 26.

Miss Davenport of 1960, Sandi King, and her court were guests at the Davenport Chamber of Commerce luncheon and reported on honors won by the Davenport community float during 1960.

75 YEARS AGO (1935)From the Davenport Times-Tribune

Wheat neared the dollar mark on the local market, and this week’s prices were the highest offered since

Every Washington family needs to connect with a farmer

1930, Davenport grain men say. Rumors of war in Ethiopia and a general shortage of wheat throughout the world were given as the rea-sons. There was still a considerable amount of wheat coming in and this year’s crop promised to be one of the largest in history.

John Tubbs of Davenport won first place in the daily northwest championship bucking contest at the Pendleton Roundup, and went into the northwest championship finals, but drew a poor horse and failed to place. Hugh McAdams also made the finals but didn’t place.

Community Grange was calling for bids for the construction of the new hall on land alongside of State Road No. 22 north of Davenport.

100 YEARS AGO (1910)From the Davenport Tribune and the Lincoln County TimesA.W. Turner, for years one of

Davenport’s leading businessmen and a former Lincoln County auditor, exchanged his large timothy farm at Fruitland, where he had been residing for the past year, for the brick hotel at Cheney. The hotel was leased and Mr. Turner and family were to make their home in Spokane.

There are few, if any photographic studios in the northwest that compare with the fine new structure designed and erected under the direction of E.H. Paige, Davenport’s noted artist. He has won many medals in competi-tion with the best artists of the west. He received the “Salon” award at the Photographers’ Association of the Pacific Northwest convention held in 1907 at Seattle. He also received a beautiful gold medal award for his photographic display at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition, a part of the Lincoln County and educational exhibits. He stood at the head of his profession in Washington.

We are pleased to note that the stu-dents of the high school were again to edit “The Megaphone.” Our schools are one of the chief things which Davenport has to be proud of, and a paper written by the students and sent to all the other schools throughout the state was one of the best adver-tisements the town had. There was a great benefit to the students in having a publication of their own. It served as a means of stimulating school activities and literary ability.

GO TITANS!

Wyatt Anderson and Waylen Anderson“It has been a long time since we’ve had brothers starting for our foot-ball team,” reports head football coach Eric Nikkola. “Wyatt, a senior offensive tackle and middle linebacker, and Waylen, a junior offensive guard and defensive end, both are two-way starters and are involved in almost every special team. Very seldom do they leave the field. Their work ethic and toughness set them apart from most linemen. If you were to measure them, they are both undersized linemen, but if you measure their heart and desire you will find champions.” Their parents are Jeremy and Becky Anderson.

Cross country coach Tim Zeiler says this junior has been run-ning well. “The summer condi-tioning is paying off” and she finished third at Reardan and first at Republic. Her parents are Dick and Jolene Erickson.

Lauren Erickson Nick Sperline

Head football coach Bruce Todd reports that this Har-rington senior rushed for 209 yards on five carries and had seven tackles (two solo) in a 78-28 victory over the Curlew Cougars. His parents are Lyle and Tami Sperline.

Davenport returns to Hering Field on Friday night to face a hungry Kettle Falls team that has yet to win this season.

The Gorillas (1-1) are licking their wounds after a 62-21 thrashing last week at the hands of Colfax, which Davenport head coach Craig Mc-Intyre described as “very impressive. They outplayed us in every aspect of the game. There’s a reason they’re ranked No. 1 – they’re that good.”

It wasn’t that the Gorillas were that bad; they did match their pro-duction of 21 points in the previous week’s victory at home over Lake Roosevelt. But a fumble on the open-ing kickoff in Colfax didn’t help, and neither did three Colfax interceptions of passes from Davenport sophomore quarterback Derik Oliver.

“We just weren’t able to overcome that fumble on the kickoff,” McIntyre said. “We lost to a much better team. We didn’t show up ready to play, we weren’t ready to compete and it showed. We were intimidated by the Bulldogs from the opening kick.”

For the Gorillas, senior Justin Piper scored two touchdowns and three extra points, the third coming in the fourth quarter after sophomore Warrin Johnson returned a Bulldog kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown.

McIntyre was pleased that he had the chance to play all of his athletes in the game and was impressed that “the younger guys never gave up.”

The coach pointed to outstand-ing performances from center Ian Bouchard, who “played very hard and fought hard for four quarters,” on offense, as well as that from ju-nior defensive tackle Dylan Graedel and freshman defensive back Max Mielke.

Unfortunately, senior Ronnie Wilkie injured his back and shoulders

Curlew got ground up by the Odessa-Harrington Titans in the an-nual Deutschesfest “Sausage Bowl” last Friday night in Odessa.

Nick Sperline scored three Titan touchdowns on runs of between 56 and 83 yards. Jake Tanke took a pass from Jared King into the end zone in the first quarter and scored O-H’s final TD on a 45-yard interception return in the third. The game was called in the third on account of the 45-point rule.

The Titans built a 28-0 lead in the first quarter on the way to a 78-28 victory.

King also tossed a 74-yarder to Stetson Sanford for the Titans’ third score. Brett Larmer put the ball in from one yard out to open O-H’s second quarter scoring.

“We executed well, blocked well, tackled well – did well what we needed to do,” head coach Bruce Todd commented afterwards. “Our kids saw lots of playing time and it gave us an opportunity to move some people around in a game situation, something we’re unable to do in a practice setting.”

Todd said that Curlew, dominated by juniors and seniors, still “had a difficult time stopping our running and passing game. Their offense had a difficult time getting anything going.”

The Titans will host Almira/Cou-lee-Hartline in a 3 p.m. game this Friday in Harrington, part of that community’s annual Fall Festival weekend.

REARDAN – It was a great open-ing series for Reardan last Friday with Kettle Falls in town – and it only got better from there.

When the night was done, the Indians had secured a 27-6 victory, its second of the season.

On fourth down and goal with 2:58 left in the first quarter, Johnny Kieffer ran the ball into the end zone and Chace Bell followed with a conversion run to give the Indians an 8-0 advantage.

After recovering a Bulldog fum-ble, Reardan expanded the spread to 14-0 when Bell took the ball in from the 3 with just under 20 seconds left in the period.

Reardan head coach Eric Nikkola, while describing Kettle Falls as “a much tougher opponent, big and very physical,” indicated his pleasure over how the Indians responded with a

Two straight Bulldog weeksLicking their wounds from Colfax, Gorillas will line up against ‘hungry’ Kettle Falls

during the game – but he was the only major casualty for the Gorillas.

McIntyre thinks the other Bull-dogs (Kettle Falls), who lost last Friday to Reardan 27-6, “will be a great challenge. They’ll be hungry to get a win.”

He expects numbers and size to be factors, as Kettle Falls has about 50 players on its roster, while the Gorillas have 28, and “on film, they look a lot bigger than us – but every team is bigger than us! – and they were an ‘A’ school.”

His mission for Davenport: “It’s important for us to protect our home field.”

O-H Titans make meat of Curlew

Fans of Davenport football are advised that parking around Hering Field will be tighter than usual this season because of the elementary-middle school construction project now in progress.

Home game attendees are encour-aged to park near the high school and walk to the field, Supt. Jim Kowalkowski said. Parking spots are available near the tennis courts and around the campus.

There won’t be an entry gate at the north end of the grade school this year. Instead, the “main gate” has shifted to the east side of the field, with other entry points on the south and west sides.

Parents with young children at the

Parking around football field tighter due to construction

game should be aware that the “big toy” playground apparatus has been removed, Kowalkowski continued, asking that parents make sure their children are supervised.

“The school district appreci-ates the patience and cooperation of dedicated Gorilla fans during the construction period,” he con-cluded.

These big guys from Kettle Falls weren’t all that much of a threat for Reardan’s Chace Bell (16), who manages to turn every football game in which he plays into an opportunity to stay in training for spring track season.

Indians put leash on Kettle Falls, will entertain Kittitas on Friday

team effort.“We were able to drive down

the field and score with very few mistakes and no penalties” in the opening series, he said. “The line seemed to be opening up holes and our running backs usually got posi-tive yardage.”

Noting the improvement he saw since the previous week, he believes early mistakes won’t be repeated. “But what really helps is that all four of my running backs are hitting the holes and gaining a lot of yards. Teams can try to focus in and stop Chace, but that opens things up for Niko (Knezovich), Johnny and Char-

lie (Eldred),” he added. “All four are taking care of the ball and running real hard.”

A Reardan fumble with about 10 minutes left until halftime gave Kettle Falls the setup for its only touchdown, but a sack prevented the Bulldogs from adding any extra points.

In perhaps the night’s most spec-tacular play with a little more than 10 seconds to go in the second period, quarterback Bell whipped a 27-yard pass to senior running back Clancy Kuykendall waiting in the end zone and, with Knezovich’s successful kick, the score increased again – to 21-6.

In the third quarter, a one-yard run from Kieffer, whose personal produc-tion of 80 rushing yards equaled that from all of the Bulldogs, completed the Indians’ scoring for the night.

Defensively, Nikkola said he saw “a big improvement. I am sending fresh linemen in almost every series and this has made a big difference in the line surge at the end of the game,” he explained. “So far we have been able to control the line of scrimmage. If we continue to improve in that regard, we are going to give Colfax a ball game in a couple weeks.”

But Reardan will have to improve even more this week, Nikkola said, with Kittitas due to visit Joe Johnson Field. “They have a huge line both offensively and defensively. We will

It took five hard-fought games for Davenport to manage a 3-2 match win over Wilbur-Creston on Tuesday night in the Gorilla gym.

The Wildcats took the first and third games 25-23 and 25-19, respectively, but Davenport came back in the sec-ond and fourth games 25-20 and 25-16, to force the fifth, which the lady Gorillas took by a 15-10 margin.

Gorilla coach Pete Schweiger said his team made a lot of passing and hitting errors, “but hung in there

and pulled out the win.”The Gorillas had it easier last Thursday in Odessa,

sweeping the Odessa-Harrington Titans in three games.“For us it was not a good match at all,” Titan coach

Tammy Cronrath commented. “All night we struggled with ball control and of course, if you cannot control the volleyball you are toast.”

Cronrath said her team picked up a little momentum in the second game, but made unforced errors and all in

Gorillas finally beat W-C in 5 games

Despite that bit of necessary tweaking, the coach said he is “re-ally enjoying this group of young men. They have bought in to the team concept. No one person is larger than the team and they know that if they work together we are going to be successful. They realize that 11 working together is better than one or two superstars.”

The Titans will play Thursday at Springdale and have a bye for Harrington’s Fall Festival.

Davenport (7-3) also competed at last weekend’s Okanogan Tourna-ment, returning with a 1-3 record. The lady Gorillas beat Ephrata after losing to Zillah and Okanogan in earlier pool play. In their final match, Brewster pulled out a close match win, with spreads of three and two points in the two games played.

Last week’s Times erroneously reported that Davenport had lost to Moses Lake Christian and Colum-bia Basin Secondary at the Odessa Jamboree on Sept. 7. Actually, the Gorillas defeated both teams.

REARDAN – Northwest Christian re-qu i r ed fou r games to get the match win over Reardan last Saturday.

The Indians will play Davenport and Lind-Ritzville/Sprague this Sat-urday in the Gorilla gym, site of the first league doubleheader event for all of the teams.

“As I had predicted, our match against NWC was tough,” Reardan head coach Brittney Kubik com-mented. “The first game we came out ready to play and took NWC by surprise. We did every element of the game well, and it showed.”

But in the second game, instead of coming out with the momentum from the first game, she said her players let NWC take control. “We let them have too big of a run on us in the beginning of the game and we could never come back from it,” she recalled. “The same thing happened to us in the third game. We let them make runs of three or four points and we never made any big runs to beat them.”

In the fourth game, the Indians took control and “played our game, stopping NWC from getting any runs on us,” she continued. “We handed the fifth game over to NWC. We made too many errors and any good team would have taken advantage of them, just as NWC had.”

Kubik said the loss was “disap-pointing, especially since it was our first league game. NWC had one big advantage over us: This was their 10th or 11th match of the season and only our fourth. We just haven’t had as much playing time to smooth out our rough edges as they have.”

But, she added, Reardan’s sched-ule from this week on will be packed full of matches, and she expects the Indians “will be ready for” NWC “when we meet up with them again.”

As for this weekend, Kubik said she expects the Reardan vs. L-R/S match to be “fun, especially since we will be playing against my alma mater. This week we have been focusing on stopping our opponents

from scoring more than three points and pushing points to make our own runs. Also, we’ve been working on becoming smarter hitters by know-ing where the block is at and hitting around it. If we do these three things, we should compete very well against Davenport and L-R/S.”

OTHELLO – Taking their first peek at a sophisticated database being developed to create the most detailed groundwater hydrologic model of the Columbia Basin, mem-bers of the Columbia Basin Ground Water Management Area (GWMA) administrative board learned that pre-liminary findings confirm the aquifer system’s dramatic decline.

“We are beginning to see the de-velopment of a remarkable tool, built on the most comprehensive geologic and ground water data base ever ac-cumulated for the Columbia Basin,” commented Paul Stoker, GWMA’s executive director. “This summer, we tested our information in meetings with literally hundreds of ground water users, well owners, municipali-ties and other stakeholders.”

Very early data analysis indicates well owner concerns about the con-tinuing diminishment of well pump-ing capacity are well founded.

In the presentations, hydrogeolo-gist Dr. Kevin Lindsey, GSI Water Solutions, Inc. (GSI), explained the extent of geologic units underlying the Columbia Basin, and what sci-entists are learning about the amount of groundwater that may have been stored in this aquifer system prior to development, and potentially how much water remains.

“Our preliminary analysis sug-gests there were probably about 50 to 60 million acre-feet of water stored in the useable parts of the aquifer sys-tem prior to the advent of deep well irrigation in the 1960s. Assuming an annual withdrawal of approximately 1 million acre feet since that time,

it’s likely that a large portion of the useable aquifer system has already been withdrawn, with less than 20 to 25 percent remaining.”

Dennis Bly, Lincoln County Com-missioner and Board member added, “Given the significant amount being withdrawn annually, and the mini-mal amount of natural or river water recharge entering the aquifer, it’s clear that we’re facing a forthcom-ing water quantity crisis that will no doubt have significant long-term ramifications for the future of the Columbia Basin. This makes it all the more critical to press forward with the Passive Rehydration Feasibility Project to further define potential aquifer storage options.”

In previous meetings, Lindsey and other GWMA scientists have explained how the groundwater chemistry data has shown how the GWMA’s aquifers were filled. Ba-sically, ice age floods deposited ice across the Columbia Basin, and as it melted and receded, water filled and saturated the interflow zones of the basalt layers 10,000 to 50,000 years ago.

John Porcello, GSI hydrologist and modeler, provided an overview of how the various mapped geologic layers and structures including folds, faults and dikes can act as barriers and pathways, and create groundwa-ter sub-basins, that dictate groundwa-ter volume and flow.

Porcello explained that the model would be calibrated and tested to ensure it portrays an accurate picture of the groundwater system so that GWMA can answer two big ques-

ObituaryClaire B. Bell

Claire B. Bell, 81, moth-er of Davenport city mainte-nance foreman Fred Bell, died Sept. 17. She was a resident of Manawa, Wis.

Born Nov. 1, 1928, in Milford, Mass., to George and Edith Bullard, she joined the Navy in 1950. She married Fredrick Harold Bell in 1951 and had four children, 11 grandchil-dren and four great-grandchildren. Family members recall how she often described her children as one of her greatest accomplishments of her lifetime and how proud she was of her family.

She traveled the world as a Navy wife, worked as a nurse, served as a school board member and was part of the Lions Club organization. While living in New Port Richey, Fla., she volunteered for a local food pantry and Habitat for Humanity. She moved to Manawa, Wis., to join daughter and son-in-law Judy and Tim at the Lindsay House Bed and Breakfast, where she helped in many ways as well as volunteering at the senior center and food pantry.

Family members said she will be remembered “by all who knew her for her sense of humor, fast wit and kind heart.”

Preceding her in death were two brothers, George Bullard, Jr., and Malcolm, and two sisters, Shirley and Carol.

She leaves two sisters, Muriel and Ruth, and a brother, Louie; daughter Carol, son Patrick and wife Alison, Parker and Kazlyn and daughters Ka-lah and Ketan; daughter Sandy and husband Danny, son Kenny and his wife Kimberly, daughter Kaylee and her husband Jon, and son Allen and daughters Leali and Kami; son Fred and his wife Mary, son Joseph and wife Krissi, Elizabeth and Landon; son Anthony and his wife Tasha; daughter Judy and husband Tim, daughter Morgan; and many nieces and nephews.

Since the 1960s, wells in the GWMA have withdrawn about 1 million acre feet of water annually from the use-able aquifer system, which GWMA scientists estimate contained between 50 to 60 million acre feet of available water before pumping began.

Because there is little recharge to the system, at the current rate of withdrawal the useable aquifer could be depleted within the next 10 to 20 years.

Receding water

New data shows water supply declinefact, the compartmentalized nature of these basalt layers is thought to greatly limit the rate of discharge to the river, to the extent that it may be immeasurable.”

An example of how these barriers can divide groundwater sub-basins was provided in a presentation by Patrick Royer, GWMA spatial ana-lyst, on the Frenchman Hills Fault, a groundwater sub-basin boundary that separates the Quincy Valley from the Royal Slope area. The two adjacent irrigated farming areas are divided by Frenchman Hills, a fold and fault structure that disrupts groundwater flow and recharge, resulting in two separate groundwater sub-basins on either side of the Frenchman Hills fault.

Stoker pointed out that the fault analysis “is a prime example of how the model is being built and tested, through scientific hypotheses in this case, evaluating the effects of a geologic fault identified during

the GWMA stratigraphic mapping study on the groundwater system. Our previous mapping identified probable locations where faults, folds and feeder dikes exist, or are likely to exist. As we test and further iden-tify and map these barriers, we will identify their effects on groundwater occurrence and aquifer connection, further refining our understanding of groundwater conditions and the pres-ence of groundwater sub-basins.”

Regarding the aquifer decline, Lincoln County Commissioner Scott Hutsell, also in attendance, added, “The evidence is overwhelming as we continue to see a race to the bot-tom and more wells going dry earlier in the year than normal. We’re past the time for concern – we need an action plan.”

As for future model study devel-opments, Stoker reminded the board that he “anticipates seeing a first run of the hydrologic model in the next 120 days.”

tions: First, what is the water budget for these four counties? Secondly, what does this mean for the future? The latter question is especially im-portant in light of Lindsey’s descrip-tion of possible remaining available pumping capacity.

Pointing to a geologic cross section of the Columbia Basin, Por-cello explained that, “Subsurface stratigraphic mapping reveals that the basalt layers that host aquifers generally dip from the uplands in the north and northeast towards the south and southwest across the Columbia Plateau. Groundwater elevation data suggest that groundwater flows to the lowest topographic point of the Columbia River. The Frenchman Hills and Saddle Mountain shows the processes of folding and fault-ing that have disrupted the interflow zones and thereby apparently created separate groundwater sub-basins on each side of these structures. In

For the second consec-utive year, Davenport art-ist Casey Klahn received the first place award in the drawing category at the Sept. 4-6 Sausalito Art Festival.

He was honored for the whole body of work presented in his outdoor booth, which featured “The Prairie Series” of pastel landscapes.

The Sausalito Art Festival enjoys national

Small Claims CourtRespondent Radan Richard Allen,

of Sprague, prevailed in a matter filed by Ramon Torres, of Lamont, who sought $1,750 claimed owed for the purchase of a 1998 Arctic Cat.

The court dismissed a claim by Alexsey Bodunov, of Tum Tum, that Luka and Irina Matveev, of Ford, owed $5,000 from a dissolved busi-ness partnership, as the claim seemed to be related to a previously judged matter in 2009 and also exceeded the court’s jurisdiction.

HARRINGTON – Cheney author John Soennichsen, will explain how the unique features of the region’s coulees and scablands were created as he tells the story of J. Harlen Bretz at the Harrington Opera House on Friday night at 7.

The scientific community once believed that the deep canyons and channels in the Inland Northwest were carved over long periods of time by glacial ice. In 1922 and 1923, Uni-versity of Chicago geology professor Bretz and his graduate students began the work to scientifically explain his vision of a cataclysmic flood hundreds of feet deep, miles wide and moving at incredible speed.

Soennichen’s presentation will include an explanation of how some of the topography of Lincoln County was created. Copies of his book, Bretz’s Flood: The Remarkable Story of a Rebel Geologist and the World’s Greatest Flood, will be available for sale. The slide show will take place in the upstairs auditorium. Tickets are $10 and light refreshments will be served at this fundraiser for the con-tinuing rehabilitation of the facility.

Before and after the Harrington Fall Festival Parade on Saturday morning, another local author, Har-

rington native Kathy (Thiemens) Walker, will share her children’s book, The Loving Family Tree. A portion of the book sales during her “Meet the Author” session will also be donated to the Society.

In just three weeks, Bronn and

Katherine Journey will return to give a benefit concert on Thursday, Oct. 14. Advance tickets for events are available from the Harrington City Hall or call 253-4345 (weekdays) or 253-4719 or visit www.harringto-noperahouse.org .

SPRAGUE – Sprague Elementary School has issued an invitation for home-schooled students of kindergarten through fifth grade age to participate in daily reading and math programs.

Children in Sprague and Lamont are eligible to participate in the morn-ing sessions.

“We offer a K-5 direct-instruction reading program that has children placed according to their reading abilities,” explained teacher Bill Ressel. “We have had excellent results where many of our students have advanced to a reading level two grades above their current grade.”

Parents of eligible students are invited to visit the program and may set up a time to come and observe with principal Pat Whipple or one of the office staff at (509) 257-2511.

“We seek to form a partnership with our home-school community by working with parents to help them develop an educational program that is right for their children, Ressel said, adding that more information is posted at www.spraguelamont.com (follow the link to Sprague Elementary under the “School News” tab).
