That is because, concerned over another court challenge or - correctly, as it turned out - a veto, both houses passed a back-up system, which auto- matically kicks in when the "Top Two" system is thrown out. This is called the "Montana" system, which would send one candidate from each party to the general elec- tion. Voters pick one party's ballot, but do so in secrecy: "Their privacy would be pro- tected," wrote Honeyford. NEWHOUSE HONEYFORD PRIMARY OPTION VETOED Perhaps the most talked- about legislative issue statewide in 'o4 was the blanket primary. As Honeyford summarized it, BUDGET:, REPS VOTE NO The session's other major accomplishment was passage of a state budget. This being the second year of a two-year bud- get cycle, this was a supplemen- tary-budget, not a budget-writ- ing year, the legislators said. The budget passed 34-15 in the Senate, 84-19 in the House. Wrote Honeyford, "There were several reasons why I voted for the budget. It adds roughly $145 million to the $23.2 billion 2003-05 operat- ing budget. It leaves more than $300 million in the state's emergency reserve account, contains no tax increases or] 'budget gimmicks,' and is one of munity, for the failure to pass the slowest-growing budgets in reforms, state history. Because it leaves a • sizable reserve, it helps mini- mize the budget situation weql face next year when the state is expected to have a $1 billion revenue shortfall due to neces- sary spending increases in nec- the legislature was "forced to essary services and programs. adopt an alternative to the However, the budget kept our are on One side of state's blanket primary when it commitment to the state's most on the was ruled unconstitutional in vulnerable by fully funding e toreduce federal court." nursing homes, supporting rate charged on "The previous system's prob- damage awards," lem was that the parties could- n't choose their own standard view, "We bearer," said Newhouse.

Chandler and Newhouse demurred. "I did not vote for the budget or the capital bud- get," said Chandler. "We spent more money than we're taking in. I didn't believe we should be adding programs at a time [when we have a projected deficit] - we'll be in the hole $1 billion next session and still haven't addressed some com- mitments from last year." Newhouse, who also voted against the budget, added "It was a 'no new taxes' budget, leaner and better than the house's original version.., but my concern is the $1 billion deficit. We should proceed cau- tiously.., we may be seeing a recovery, but we're not sure." and senate finally agreed on a replacement, 9f3Jled, the.

'~he two candi- dates in each race who receive the most votes, regardless of party, advance to the general election. This means it's possi- ble for two candidates from the same party to wind up in a gen- eral election," wrote Honeyford. Last week, Governor locke vetoed the Top Two option, which he had never favored, expressing his disappointment with the parties for challenging it in the first place. 'The Montana system.., best preserves voter choice in the November general election," said Locke. Two groups have already said they will place the Top Two option back before the voters, through referendum.

Before being transported to their new home, the rock images were cleaned by Claire Dean of Portland, an ethno- graphic conservator who spe- cializes in petroglyphs and other rock images. Pitt said she was pleased with how the entire project was carried out. "I sure am happy," she said, adding that the images were cleaned "just wonderfully and with great care." The rocks were transported by truck to the park and lifted into place with a crane. Everyone, from the truck drivers to the Army Corps members involved in the project, "was very careful and respectful with the rocks," Pitt said. Tribal elders were consulted as to the exact placement of the rock images, according to Pitt. JOHNSTON from page I The Temani Pesh-wa Trail is paved and wheelchair-accessi- ble. The walkway slopes along a low rock wall under which the rock images have been placed. Surveillance cameras have been installed to ensure the images remain untouched. The trail is open to the pub- lic during park hours. However, according to Davis, the nearby trail leading to the park's other famous petro- glyph, Tsagaglalal, or "She Who Watches," remains open only to escorted tours by Park Service guides on Fridays and Saturdays. Pitt called the moving of the rocks to their new display "a wonderful event." "This has made an awful lot of people very happy," she said. "When the rocks were at The Dalles Dam, if rocks could cry they would have been crying. Now, I know they are happy." expenditures to attract facilities. "The county's mindset is building the tax base. Economic development is needed county-wide. I will do more than propping up the tax base," he said. "It should be the responsibility of corpora- tions to foot the bill," for their location here, he added. "The county has been spending public money to bring them."

I reacted to a couple of instances, and they were addressed; that set my mind at ease." If elected, Johnston said he would hold monthly meetings in Goldendale and in the east end of the county. As a candidate, he added, he plans to attend "functions large and small, to meet people face Johnston mentioned the recent controversy to face." over the Klickitat Trail. Asked about his posi- tion, he said, "I have followed it without being really involved. There are two sides. Areas open to public use have negative impacts; there needs to be some control. There needs to be a mecha- nism to help lessen the impact. At the same time, tourism needs to be encouraged. We need managed growth." For tourism, he said, the entire county has potential, and needs the economic boost, espe- cially the small towns. Regarding his opponent, Johnston offered no comment, saying. "I want to avoid getting per- sonal. As time goes on, discussion Of the issues will be more direct and specific." Johnston said he does have "questions regarding the present group of comissioners' decisions." Asked about the issue of law enforcement in Goldendale, on which he initially based his mayoral campaign, Johnson replied, "I may MOTORCYCLES from page 1 Goldendale Mayor Mark Sigfrinius dittoed Peck's sup- port, 'Td like to think that per- mission could be found," said Sigfrinius.

Comments? kick@gorge.net Johnston will not have to leave his council position in order to run, only if he is elected, said county elections official Dawn Weaver. He has one year left on his council term. Johnston said he has previously run for coun- ty assessor, city council, and mayor, but never for county commissioner. Regarding his early dedaration, Johnston said, "Let's do it right... It'll be better than a write-in campaign. Getting an early start is usu- ally more beneficial." He was a write-in candi- date for mayor last fall, an election he lost. Thayer, contacted by The Sentinel, said he definitely planned to run for re-election, but offered no comment about his opponent. If Johnston and Thayer, a Republican, both run unopposed, they will square off in the gen- eral election on Nov. 2. If either has an oppo- nent from his own party, there will be a prima- ry election on Sept. 14, election fficials said.
