News Reporter
Expecting one guest for
their monthly Saturday
morning meeting, the
Klickitat County Democrats
surprisingly got two.
Sandy Matheson, candi-
date for the Fourth District
U.S. Congressional seat, was
scheduled to talk to the
group in the basement of
Goldendale's United
Methodist Church.
Unannounced, Roland
Sayler invited Richard
Wright, a businessman from
Richland running for the
same seat, to come speak as
well
Both wish to take
Republican Doc Hastings'
seat and serve the district.
Hasting toured district dur-
ing last week's recess, but
made no appearance in
Klickitat County.
Matheson came to woo
local Democrats to her side
in an election that Matheson
said comes at a time when
"Political winds are chang-
ing." She considers herself to
be a non-partisan team
builder and said people of all
parties have grown tired of
the bickering.
Standing before the small
crowd of Democrats,
Matheson told the crowd she
is a problem-solver with
long-term experience in
healthcare, education and
economic development, two
of which are key issues in
Klickitat County's depressed
economy, "It is the crux for
Klickitat County," said
Matheson.
Matheson later said she
intends to bring "good fami-
ly-wage jobs while still pro-
tecting the quality of life"
people in Klickitat County
hold dear. Alongside jobs,
Matheson said that the
healthcare system is "bro-
ken" and a big issue for her
candidacy.
"Let my record speak,"
Matheson later told the
Sentinel. She said that every-
thing she has done in the
name of the public since
leaving her job as a CPA is
recorded in the newspapers
of eastern Washington.
Matheson took a chance

economy and jol

A special bicentennial exhibit
called "A Passion For Plants: Before
and After Lewis and Clark" will open
at the Maryhill Museum of Art on
July 17.
The exhibit, which explores the
Corps of Discovery's scientific work
and responses inspired over the
years, runs through Nov. 17.
The opening day will also feature
dedication of the museum's perma-
nent Lewis and Clark Overlook and
Native Plant Garden.
Later in the month, the exhibit
will provide both theme and class-
room for the museum's annual
teacher training institute, to be held
July 26-30.
"In today's world, the plants
~)~4is'.and Clark documented still
hold special fascination," said the
museum's announcement. "Their
journal entries about the plants are
a unique combination of science and
art."
The exhibit features photographs
of original Lewis and Clark plant
specimens, early 2oth-century pho-
tographs by celebrated Northwest
photogr.apher Albert Barnes, and
historic Native American objects
decorated with or fabricated from
those plants, alongside contempo-
rary works of art by Northwest
artists Rebecca Allan, Ineke de
Lange, Ran van Dongen, Kay
French, and Stephan Soihl, inspired
by the same plants.
The public is invited to join guest
curator Lyn.e:tte Miller and the
artists at the opening reception on
Saturday, July 17 at 1 p.m. The 3
p.m. overlook dedication will
include a blessing by Ella Jim of the
Rock Creek Band of the Yakama
Indian Nation.
From 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., members of
the Klickitat County Master
Gardeners will be on hand to reveal
tips for successfully growing plants
in the plateau region•
All opening-day events come with
general museum admission of $7,
$6 for seniors and $2 for youth
under 17.
Miller, a scholar of American
Indian basketry, curator for the
Washington state Historical Society
and president of the W.W. Seymour
Botanical Cons?rvatory Foundation
in Tacoma, will also speak at the
teacher training institute.
This year's program will explore
scientific documentation using
multi-media lectures, study of origi-
nal artwork in the museum's gal-
leries, and hands-on studio sessions.
The institute's focus on Lewis and
Clark and the natural history of the
Northwest will be enhanced by visit-
ing artists, historians and scholars•
"In a real sense, teachers will be
learning about Lewis and Clark,
where they actually walked," said
museum director and instructor
Colleen Schafroth.
In addition to Miller, H. Wayne
Phillips, ecologist, botanist, and
author of "The Plants of the Lewis
and: Clark Expedition" will lecture,

p.m., said Royall. By Monday
afternoon, testing of low- and
medium-pressure pipes was
complete, with only high pres-
sure testing left.
With the operation came
new noise, which drew a few
complaints; Royall said that
technicians went out to show
complainants that noise was
actually within limits of the
permit. Royall said most calls
were positive.
The current testing brings
the steam turbine online and is
part of a Calpine-summer,
working to bring the plant fully
online for the expected Sept. 1
start-up date.
Testing of the plant's emis-
sions is yet to come and will
be conducted by an indepen-
dent firm that Royall said
should start the last week of
July.
Over the weekend,
Goldendale Energy created
about 240 megawatts of
