PAGE 12 SURVEY om a e, is little entertainment on the menu for young adults ,and ~ people in their 3os and 4os other than drinking alcohol. You don t need a theme The mention that there isfor a town when there is little to do in Goldendale comes as a cry out for some-em, lo,,ment thing more than an 8o-mile 1" " J = " " " round trip to see "Finding Nemo" with the kids in The Dalles. Having a movie theater in town repeats as a suggestion several times in the survey state's tourism money. whose respondents also ask Crain would like some fur- for some other form of enter- tainment for young adults and young parents. 86 percent of the 184 returned surveys ask for a local theater. The age-based comments are interesting for a town that sees itself as retirement com- munity. According to the Census Bureau, Census-2ooo data, only 13 percent of the people in Klickitat County are of retirement age whereas 26 percent of the population is in the 25-to-45 age group. Furthering the idea of jobs, consensus exists within the returned surveys that Goldendale should take advantage of its unique land- scape and gifts of nature sur- rounding the town and filling Klickitat County. Goldendale's citizens understand that local resources exist outside than timber and mineral extrac- tion, judging from survey -- An anonymous resident participating in a recent survey. ther definition on what tourism means in reality. Creating a town theme was thrown into the survey and recommendations came in for "small town," "Dutch," and "Lewis and Clark." One respondent countered, "You don't need a theme for a town when there is employ- ment." What travelers want in a destination is more elusive still. And, though the survey respondents call for tourism there is no mention, in the comments section, of what type of tourist the town should appeal to. The survey reads that the city is unfriendly to business and that some form of indus- try must grow. Negativity shows soundly in the survey and, regardless of the reality, the public perception is grim. Comments from respon- dents say there is a lot of results, empty talk in Goldendale's Offering up examples of drive to save itself from a per- Bend and Levenworth, people ceived death out on the hori- zon. The negativity leads one to believe City of Goldendale makes poor decisions. One person wrote, "I hope it's not true the city council turned down a warehouse building by Wal-Mart."

The city, the county, various employees, and The Sentinel: "I find the Goldendale paper not very fair." The people want industry. Again, like the word tourism, there is little defini- tion of what industry means other than jobs that could support a family. Without industry, people feel that Goldendale is going to crash. This possibly refers to the prison that never came and a Wal-Mart distribution center that went elsewhere. Perhaps it's a reflection of the business climate in Dallesport with favor from the county com- missioners. When all is read in the sur- vey, in the end, people ask for many things that exist already, in some form, in Goldendale. There exists some employment base and some entertainment and even some tourism. Crain found that a lot of folks were asking for services that already in Goldendale.

Dr. Garnett took it a step further when he said that the medical staffs members need to become more involved in vetting the design.
