Have you ever been swimming and felt something touch your leg? Maybe it was a fish, or maybe it was a lake monster. In this episode, we'll dive into the legends and lore surrounding some of the world's most elusive and eerie monsters lurking beneath the waters. Heaven will share encounters with the Dragon of Lake Chelan in Washington, the Walgren Lake Monster in Nebraska, and finally to Utah to fish for the monstrously long “Old Briney” who also goes by the name the North Shore Monster. Then, Jonathan will swim with the benevolent Memphre, the cryptid of Lake Memphremagog which straddles the border between Canada and Vermont.

Hello to you listening in Lake Chelan, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.  Unpacking boxes of Christmas decorations the other day I came upon a faded red folder I had first received in early December of my freshman year when I was away at college. It held faded multi-colored sheets of construction paper. On a side of each one was carefully glued the face of a re-purposed Christmas greeting card and under each card was text in mom's careful Palmer style handwriting. A poem, a quote, a few favorite remembered lines.  The cover sheet reads: “Kris Kringle Vitamins One-a-Day Brand. Take 1 while supplies last.” It was mom's way of helping me prepare for the Christmas Season so I didn't get lost in the bright lights of the HoliDazed.  This is the verse I read today:“The weakest among us has a gift, however seemingly trivial, which is peculiar to him, and which worthily used, will be a gift to his race forever.”Question: What particular gift of yours will be a gift to your race forever?   60 Seconds is your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.

The summertime is usually the peak season for tourists in Stehekin, Washington – a small community of around 100 people at the north end of Lake Chelan. It's only accessible by boat or floatplane, making it an ideal place for a lakeside getaway or entry into the North Cascades wilderness.  But the geography and topography that make Stehekin unique are now posing challenges as the Pioneer Wildfire continues to threaten the town. Since it started June, the fire has grown to tens of thousands of acres, and at one point spread to within 100 feet of buildings near Stehekin. Many of the areas residents have stayed, but no structures have burned. Soundside caught up with Stan Hinatsu about the latest on the fire. Hinatsu is the public information officer on the latest incident management team -- one of six -- responding to the Pioneer and Easy Fires.

Don Striker, Superintendent of North Cascades National Park, goes into detail on his time in the National Park Service, sharing the ways nature brings people to tears (from Mount Rushmore to Denali), laughing about the hair-raising encounters  with wildlife (including a humorous yet tense squirrel episode), reminiscing on people who took a chance on him and were willing to promote a less conventional path, highlighting unique challenges such as reintroducing wolves into Yellowstone in the 1990s and sharing some unique insights into what makes North Cascades such a special place, and in some regards, an undiscovered gem.  North Cascades National Park, located 3 hours north of Seattle and categorized as the “American Alps” (think Sound of Music), not only has rugged and vast vertical terrain but is also a place of recreation, with Lake Chelan the second deepest lake in the US (behind Crater Lake). After this episode, your heart will be stirring to book a trip out to North Cascades. You can follow Who Runs This Park on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or YouTube, can email us at info@whorunsthispark.com or check us out online at whorunsthispark.com. Who Runs This Park is hosted and produced by Maddie Pellman, with music by Danielle Bees.Sponsors:Granarly (Instagram): Go to granarly.com & use code WRTP15 to get 15% your next online purchase

Top billers typically have one or more “cornerstone clients.”    These key accounts are ones you can build your business on because they use you exclusively and give you lots of repeat business. My special guest, Katherine Jerald, is someone who's mastered the art of client development.    Katherine is the founder of Elray Search, a firm that is committed to solving the biggest talent needs of middle-market clients in the aerospace, satellite, and defense firm. She's also a member of the Pinnacle Society.    What's fascinating about Katherine's story is that she's a second-generation recruiter. She remembers the first day her father opened a recruiting firm. She actually got to skip school at the age of 12 to help set up the office computers.    Katherine later rejoined her father's search firm, FPC Portland in 2015 as an executive recruiter, and opened an FPC office in Lake Oswego, Washington. During her tenure within the FPC franchise network, Katherine was the five-time winner of FPC's “Top Recruiter” Award.   In this episode, Katherine shares the skillset and mindset that enabled her to become a top producer and successful business owner. She reveals some killer strategies for winning and developing clients, plus how she transitioned from contingency to 100% engaged search.   Episode Outline and Highlights   [02:06] How Katherine's father influenced her career path as a recruiter and owner. [06:13] Was it easier or harder working in a family recruitment business? [11:30] Success factors to becoming a five-time top recruiter in the FPC network. (client-side development, grind, and hustle) [16:48] Strategies for identifying, breaking into, and caring for the correct accounts. [21:14] Pitching a relationship instead of a transaction in a recruitment call. [25:16] Katherine shares her process for developing client relationships. [32:12] How commitment plays a big part in Katherine's success. [33:24] Transitioning from being a top recruiter to launching her own firm - Katherine shares her story. [37:29] Discussion and thought process on engaged versus contingent search. [45:49] Creating your “irresistible offer” - most recruiters don't understand this! [49:55] Hiring and building your business - how Katherine started growing her team. [58:06] Katherine reveals her selling style.   How to Become a Top Recruiter: Hustle, Grind and Focus on Client Development   During her tenure at FPC, Katherine was the five-time winner of FPC's top recruiter award. What's her secret?   According to Katherine, “The baseline is you gotta hustle and you gotta grind. And most people do not want to work that hard.” But of course, that can't be all there is to it because I also have seen recruiters work really hard but still not get the same results that Katherine does.    She then revealed the differentiator: “I would say it's been really connecting and developing the client side.” Katherine is aware of the importance of client development.  She shared her strategies for finding the right account, landing that business, and caring for the relationship. This strategy leads to her getting referrals which leads to more businesses and clients.    Katherine also gave tips on how to pitch without being too salesy, how to establish relationships during a recruitment call instead of being purely transactional, and her process for developing those accounts.   Transitioning From Contingency to an Engaged Search   The most exciting part of Katherine's story is how she recently launched her own recruitment firm, Elray Search. They officially launched on April 1 of this year, and in their first quarter they've taken off like a rocket ship, which is fitting since they specialize in aerospace and defence.   One of the key shifts that Katherine made when she started on her own is that she hasn't accepted any contingent searches since their launch. How does she pitch this engaged search to her clients? Here's some of her verbiage:   “We ask for ten grand to kick things off.” “What you can expect from me is weekly update calls. We do a video chat, we'll record them so I can share them with my team as well.” “Hey, I'm gonna do your first interview for you. Just tell me what questions you want me to ask. You can watch it on video when you're on the airplane.” “If you're not happy with what we're doing after three weeks, I'll give you your ten grand back.”    Katherine added, “Guess how many have asked for it (the $10k deposit) back? Zero!”   Katherine also discussed how she started to build her team - having just hired their third member very recently, and how it helped her be free from the 360 model.   Pitching it the Right Way   I love Katherine's mindset when it comes to pitching: “So the whole like the premise is, nobody likes a hard sell anymore. And this is totally contradictory to what we, you know, how it was taught 20 years ago, where you're trying to say, ‘Hey, can I accept on your behalf?' That doesn't work anymore.”   For Katherine, it is all about attraction rather than promotion. By asking the right questions, she is able to nudge a candidate to start talking and building a relationship, which eventually leads to successful placements. Katherine added, “I tell them, ‘Hey, I'm never gonna try to talk you into something. At the end of the day, you're always gonna do what's best for you and your family, and everybody should understand that. And if they don't, they don't have the right intentions'.”   Katherine shared so many golden nuggets, but that little script was my absolute favourite. Could the same approach be effective for you and your recruiters?   Our Sponsors   This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro and Recruitment Entrepreneur.   i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

Ah, the Cascade Loop Scenic Byway. This 440-mile route winds through the heart of Washington State's Cascade Mountains, revealing an abundance of natural beauty that is truly awe-inspiring. From the shore of Lake Chelan to the rugged peaks of North Cascades National Park, the landscape is both spectacular and diverse.   But the Cascade Loop is more than just a showcase of nature's wonders. We'll tell you about charming small towns along the way that offer a glimpse into the region's rich history and culture. Places like Leavenworth, with its Bavarian architecture, sausages and lively festivals, and Winthrop, with its Old West charm and cowboy spirit. Plus, Matt will take you on a culinary tour of the bakeries along the route and explain the differences between cinnamon rolls and morning buns.   In this episode, part one of our two-part series on the scenic drives through all three national parks in northwest Washington, we discuss the logistics and highlights of the Cascade Loop Scenic Byway.   Here's a link to the map of the loop that Karen promised Matt would draw.   Our Patreon account is now up and running with bonus content.

Hello to you listening in Lake Chelan, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.Some 30 years ago I was taught that story is a gift to the listener. This never-forgotten advice has shepherded me through decades of professional speaking, litigation consulting, communication coaching, and story strategizing.Perhaps you've experienced someone telling a story and it feels forced, it does not ring true. What's going on? A story is organic. It will manifest in a certain place or time when it is ready to be told and the teller is ready to serve as the conduit for the story.If a story feels forced the teller isn't ready to release it.  If this was my client we would continue to collaborate on the key questions: who is it for, how did it come to be, why does it want to be heard, where does it begin, what does it mean. This is how we get to the heart of your message and the message of your heart. By recognizing that a story is as alive as the person telling it.Practical Tip: If you're curious come as you are and change inside Quarter Moon Story Arts! You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

Good Morning it's Saturday July 10th, and this is The Wenatchee World's newest podcast, Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.    Today - Chelan County now has two wolf packs and maybe as many as six wolves, with one breeding female suspected in the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness.   This episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success. Learn more at Equilusfinancial.com. Member SIPC and FINRA.     Now our feature story...   Chelan County is home to a new wolf pack, as of last winter, located near Lake Chelan.   State Wolf Biologist Ben Maletzke said that Chelan County now has two wolf packs and maybe as many as six wolves. One of those wolves may be a breeding female in the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness.   In 2018, the Naneum wolf pack was identified as the first pack to return to Chelan County with about two wolves.   It now appears that the Naneum wolf pack is up to three adults with one suspected to be a female.    Maletzke has two male wolves collared in the Naneum pack, but he's only spotted the female from a helicopter. From that high it's hard to tell gender.   The Naneum pack splits its time between Kittitas and Chelan counties.   Maletzke has heard some evidence of wolves in the Stehekin and Holden Village areas as well, but they may have just been passing through.   The state Department of Fish and Wildlife says there are at least 132 wolves in the state overall. That's up from about 108 in the 2019 report.   And the Eastern Washington recovery area in particular continues to exceed recovery goals, with four successful breeding pairs for three consecutive years.    In fact, the North Cascades recovery area is getting close to being taken off of federally endangered status, with four successful breeding pairs in four packs.   The South Cascades and Northwest Coast recovery area, though, still don't have any established wolf packs. But the agency has heard reports of individual wolves moving through the area.   For the state to reach its recovery goals, all three regions must have four breeding pairs of wolves for four years. And statewide there would need to be an additional six successful breeding pairs.   If you've seen any wolves or any tracks you should take a picture and upload it to the Fish and Wildlife database.    To read more on this story visit us at wenatcheeworld.com   --   Here's what else you should know today…   People are banned from using fires on U.S, Bureau of Land Management and U,S, Bureau of Reclamation land.   The ban began earlier this week in Eastern Washington counties, including Chelan, Douglas, Grant and Okanogan. The restrictions will remain in place until the potential for wildfires decreases.   People who would like to do target shooting are encouraged to use private and public target ranges. Also, people are prohibited from off-roading and smoking on public lands.   Wenatchee's annual Summer Concert Series is back this year with five shows featuring a mix of local and non-local artists.   The Centennial Park concerts are free to the public and start at 7 p.m. on Fridays. Concert Fridays will also have a taco truck and activities for children. It's an “event for everybody,” she said.   -- Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health.

They are diligently working to improve the health and quality of life for our friends and neighbors. They are Grateful | They are Confluence Health.  Learn more by visiting them at ConfluenceHealth.com --   Next,    Nancy Barrett's Class with a Glass art studio was built around the idea of inviting would-be artists to spend a couple hours following step-by-step instruction while socializing and drinking some wine. And at the end participants create a take-home masterpiece.   That was the “paint-and-sip” model of the then 3-year-old business when Barrett purchased it in 2017.    But she's since expanded on the idea, adding summer and holiday art camps for kids. And, in addition to acrylic paint, introduced watercolor and mixed media classes.  Then, when COVID-19 canceled in-studio gatherings, she adapted by offering online classes and art-at-home art supplies, which served its purpose, but wasn't ideal.   Now, as pandemic restrictions eased this spring, she recognized an opportunity to “make the most of a difficult year,” by making a move, literally to a larger, more visible space.   The 5,000-square-foot building has room for small to medium-sized group events, an art gallery to feature local artists' work, and retail space.    She'll still continue to offer online classes, but they won't be the focus.   A grand opening is planned from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. TODAY, with an official ribbon cutting ceremony at noon.   The event includes light refreshments and tours of the new art studio space. There will even be an interactive art demonstration following the ribbon cutting ceremony.   For information on the art class schedules, group events and private painting parties, go to classwithaglass.com.   Before we go, some local history,  Wenatchee Valley History is brought to you by NABUR. Visit wenatcheeworld.com/nabur.   Now, some history…   Did you know that Sierra Vista resident, Glynn R. Donaho, nicknamed “Donc”, was a submarine commander during World War II for which he received the Navy Cross four times, the Silver Star Twice, and the Bronze Star? He held a number of positions in the Navy including teaching at the National War College, liaison to the United Nations, and commander of a base in the Philippines. He retired from the Navy as a Vice Admiral and retired to Sierra Vista. When he passed away in 1986, his ashes were scattered over the Pacific Ocean from the fantail of a US Navy submarine.   Thanks for listening.

Good Morning it's Saturday July 3rd, and this is The Wenatchee World's newest podcast, Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.    Today - The Chelan-Douglas Community Action Council has seen an influx of calls and questions from landlords after the governor announced a “bridge” proclamation to protect tenants from evictions.   This episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success. Learn more at Equilusfinancial.com. Member SIPC and FINRA.   Now our feature story...   The Chelan-Douglas Community Action Council, a local nonprofit providing rent assistance, has seen an influx of calls and questions from landlords. Why? The governor just announced a “bridge” proclamation to protect tenants from evictions.   The state's eviction moratorium ended at midnight on Wednesday, and in its place, Gov. Jay Inslee enacted a temporary and, some say, confusing “bridge” emergency order.   An additional $650 million will become available for landlord and tenant assistance approved by the state legislature for rental assistance and programs like the eviction resolution program.   But since the funds are not yet available, the governor has instituted a “bridge” proclamation to tide things over in the meantime.   This bridge makes it so that landlords and tenants can take advantage of rental assistance and an eviction resolution program to resolve COVID-19-related past due rent. Also, tenants will need to take steps to pay rent or avail themselves of rental assistance beginning August 1.   Staff at the council have been doing their best to explain the changes to landlords and tenants, but not everything in the governor's proclamation is clear.    Alan Walker, Chelan-Douglas Community Action Council executive director said it's always tricky when you start trying to interpret something that has been laid out there but really hasn't been vetted out.   One point of confusion rests on the involvement of eviction resolution programs.   According to the governor's proclamation, landlords are prohibited from evicting a tenant until there is an operational rental assistance program and eviction resolution program in place in their county.   For now, the Wenatchee resolution center provides an opportunity for tenants and landlords to negotiate and solve their problems before going to court.    The center's executive director, Jennifer Talbot, said that she encourages landlords and tenants to reach out by calling 509-888-0957.   People can also find information on rental assistance on their website at cdcac.org.   To read more on this story visit us at wenatcheeworld.com   -- Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health.

They also found a fresh, but toasted, fish on the ground below the utility line pole.   Mosher thinks an osprey grabbed the fish out of the Wenatchee River and then dropped its food off on a pole-top nest.   The fish must have fallen out of the nest and just landed wrong on the power lines. Obviously the fish cannot get up to the top of the pole itself, he said.   Fires have been sparked by items landing on power lines before, he said. But this time a fish just happened to start it.    In Mosher's words...“You don't see this every day”   Did you know that Chelan County derives its name from a Salish Native American word? Chelan means “deep water” and it's likely a reference to the 55 mile long Lake Chelan which is, in fact, really really deep… at some points reaching 1,486 feet! Today, it's estimated that more than 77,000 people live in the county and more than 1/3 of the households had children in them.   -   Thanks for listening.

Good Morning it's Saturday June 19th, and this is The Wenatchee World's newest podcast, Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.    Today - With roaring engines, blaring music and streets lined with onlookers standing shoulder-to-shoulder, the Classy Chassis Parade and Car Show made its return last week.   This episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success. Learn more at Equilusfinancial.com. Member SIPC and FINRA.   Now our feature story...   With roaring engines, blaring music and streets lined with onlookers standing shoulder-to-shoulder, the Classy Chassis Parade and Car Show made its return last week.   The Classy Chassis is hosted the last Friday of Apple Blossom, which traditionally bridges the end of April and the beginning of May.   TJ Boteilho, who rode in the parade with his father, Larry exclaimed that they're just happy to be out, it's a blessing to come to some kind of normal.   The East Wenatchee parade, part of the Washington State Apple Blossom Festival, was canceled in 2020 because of pandemic restrictions. And organizer Trina Elmes said the number of participants was down from 369 in 2019 to a little more than 200 this year,   But to her, that's not bad considering we're dealing with Covid and a date change. In fact, the parade was organized in just one month.   They even waived participation fees this year to help draw in more cars for the parade.   TJ and Larry Boteilho rode in Larry's 1966 Ford Mustang.   The father and son share a love for classic Mustangs — TJ has a 1968 model. He bought it in 1988 and then Larry bought his the following year. Together, they restored the car: TJ was the mechanic and Larry did the body work.   Everything in the black Mustang is original with the exception of after-market air conditioning. They keep the car off the road most of the year with the exception of special events.   And Bruce Dickinson entered a silver 1937 Ford with a 410-horsepower engine. The top comes off and hydraulic lifts raise the car up and down.   Dickinson's Ford took the award for best in show.    Ultimately, just bringing residents together is what Elmes said she was hoping to accomplish by pulling the parade together.   After not having any community activities in 2020, the goal was to do something to bring everyone together so that it's clear we're stronger than Covid.   We made it through and things are starting to look up.     Next, we're excited to announce that it's been an amazing year for World's Best! This competition has never been as competitive as it was for 2021!   The competition saw more than 13,000 nominations in round 1 which made up more than 2,300 businesses, people, and places across our community.   All of you played a role in nominating your favorites. Some of the hottest categories were Customer Service, Teacher, Dinner, Lunch, Real Estate Agent, and Salon--each of which received at least 50 DIFFERENT nominated people or places.   The top 5 for all 132 categories then advanced into round 2! This is where the heat really got turned up. We saw over 115,000 votes.   And now, we couldn't be more excited to share with you our WINNERS for the 2021 World's Best 11th annual competition!   So head over to wenatcheeworld.com to check out the winners!   Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health.

It's funded by an $8,089 grant from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources Urban and Community Forestry Program.    Main priorities for the first phase include removal of invasive species like tree-of-heaven and Siberian elm, planting of native species and slope stabilization above the bunkhouse.    In the long run, leadership and volunteers in the project plan for the site to become home to tiny homes, trails, native plants, bird-friendly landscaping and spaces for people to relax and reflect.   Currently, the mission houses about 40 men, half of its capacity. Roughly 80% of them are over 50 years old. The pandemic made operations slow down, but the mission is now opening services back up and ramping up outreach to people experiencing homelessness.   The main focus of the first phase is removing invasive species and replacing them with native ones.  Siberian elms and the tree-of-heaven pose extensive problems. Their vast root systems require the trees be treated with herbicide in order to remove them, and are home to pests like spotted lanternflies, which can attack fruit trees.   But the DNR grant is just the beginning of the project's funding. For the rest, WRM will rely on donations and volunteer efforts.    The grant will support removal of two to four large Siberian elms or tree-of-heaven, planting of 20 to 24 large trees and 10 to 20 small trees. The rest of the first phase, including removal of many more invasive trees and planting of native shrubs, will be covered by volunteer time and grant-matching money from WRM.   And while there is still much to be done before the mission can bring in the tiny homes, the goal is to see it all come to fruition in about two years. And more is in the works.    -   Before we go, some local history,  Wenatchee Valley History is brought to you by NABUR [this is pronounced just like neighbor] – your trusted neighborhood community.

The territory of his tribe extended from Waterville to White Bluffs, in the Columbia Basin. The tribe was comprised of a few hundred individuals.    In 1879, the United States set aside the Columbia Reservation for Chief Moses and his tribe. Later, the tribe agreed to cede their Columbia Basin territory, which was then opened for homesteading.    The new reservation was bordered on the east by the Okanogan River, on the south by the Columbia River, on the west by the Chelan River, Lake Chelan, and on the north by the international boundary with Canada.    But this was some distance away from the tribe's original range and the terrain was very different.   Following some disputes over the land, an agreement was reached in 1883. The government purchased the entire Columbia Reservation from the Indians. Those families were given the choice of moving to the Colville Reservation or taking allotments of one section of land each.    But just one year later the entire reservation was restored to the public domain.    Chief Moses died in 1899 on the Colville Reservation.    Thanks for listening.

It's called “In the Valley of Sin”, and it'll explore police claims of a child sex trafficking ring in Wenatchee.

The result was dozens of arrests and convictions — many of which were later overturned.   John Finley, executive vice president of FOX Nation and development said that after more than two decades, they decided it was time to take a fresh look at this very divisive and controversial story. Finley said they believe that now it's possible to examine what happened with a new perspective.   If you don't remember the details of the case, these sex abuse investigations took place in 1994 through 1995. They were led by Wenatchee police detective Bob Perez.   Ultimately 42 people were arrested, while 28 were convicted 18 actually saw their cases dismissed or overturned on appeal. Why? An investigation found that Perez coerced suspects into making false confessions.   Two key victims in the case were in Perez's foster care at the time. Both of them later recanted their claims of sexual abuse at the hands of parents and acquaintances.   Perez ultimately stood by his work. He said that if he were an investigator charged with investigating the cases today, he'd do it exactly the same way. He ended up retiring from the department in 1997 and died in 2013 at age 60.   But after the investigations, in 1999 the state Legislature passed the “Perez Bill”. The bill made it illegal for parents, guardians or foster parents who are law enforcement officers to investigate the sexual abuse cases of children in their care.   The law also requires caseworkers to keep near-verbatim records of interviews.    So, what's the focus of the new docuseries?   Well, each episode “Valley of Sin” is about 45 minutes long and will tell the story of an individual family affected by these false claims.. The episodes will also go over the consequences that continue to haunt them to this day.    In conjunction with the release of the series, FOX Nation host and legal analyst Nancy Grace are talking about the Wenatchee case on her daily program, Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. In her commentary, Grace dives even deeper into the details of the story and examines the evidence and testimony that eventually unraveled the cases.   Grace said that as a crime victim and former felony prosecutor, it hits hard to see a miscarriage of justice. She noted that what any wrongfully accused person endures can never really be erased. It lives with them, in them, from that day forward, just as it does any violent crime victim.   Representatives from the Wenatchee Police Department were not involved in the making of the series.    Capt. Edgar Reinfeld told us that they were contacted, but they ultimately decided not to participate. There's no one at the department anymore with direct knowledge of the case.   To read more on this story visit us at wenatcheeworld.com   -   Here's what else you need to know about today…   The Chelan-Douglas Health District has reported 28 people died from COVID-19 this year, with 20 of those from Chelan County and eight from Douglas County. Among those 28, 12 were women and 16 were men. This brings the total number of COVID-deaths up to 65 in Chelan County and 19 in Douglas County since the pandemic started. / Wenatchee High School students interested in getting a COVID-19 shot will have a chance Saturday, May 15th. Students age 16 to 18 are invited to make an appointment for a Pfizer dose that will be administered by Columbia Valley Community Health staff. The vaccine event is a partnership between CVCH and the school district, designed to give students the opportunity to receive vaccinations in an easy to access, familiar place, according to a press release. Parents must be present when the shots are administered.   - Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health.

They were key to his childhood at Holden Village in the early 1940s, his working life as a miner in Wenatchee in the 1970s, and his hobby as a prospector in his retirement years.   He says it's in his blood. Now, at 84, the Wenatchee man credits his childhood years at Holden with starting his interest in minerals.   In 1939, the Marr family moved to Lucerne, which is on Lake Chelan nine miles northwest of the city of Chelan. Lucerne was then, and is now, only accessible by boat.   It's several miles down a winding forested road from Holden, where Howe Sound Mining Co., had set up machinery to mine for copper, lead and zinc.    The miners' quarters and main buildings are now a Lutheran retreat center.   The Marr family moved there when Jim Jr. was 4 years old. Marr Jr. learned early on that mining was dangerous work.   But the family had wonderful times. Every Fourth of July, there were games. Every winter, there were sleigh rides down the winding road through the community.   In the forest, the boys played army, using pine cones for hand grenades.   But in 1945, the family moved back to East Wenatchee to tend the family orchard and wheat farm.   Still, Marr feels like the best part of his childhood was at Holden.   And now after a lengthy career, Marr uses a two-pronged metal tool for mineral witching. The prongs move dramatically when a mineral deposit is nearby.   He even has what he calls a “show-and-tell” box of rocks that highlights many of the minerals in the area.   He knows he's not about to strike it rich, though. He says It's just fun to know where the stuff is. He gets a thrill out of it.   -   Before we go, some local history,  Wenatchee Valley History is brought to you by NABURJoin the conversation! Visit wenatcheeworld.com/nabur    Finally some history …. Did you know that Lincoln Rock State Park is named for… a rock that looks uncannily like America's 16th president? Above the rocky reach dam, overlooking the Columbia, the outcropping was long recognized by native americans and settlers as something resembling a person's face. The face gained notoriety when it was published in an issue of The Ladies Home Journal in 1902 but It wasn't until 1981 that the Chelan County Public Utility Commission developed a park there and the Lincoln Rock park became officially immortalized.   -   Thanks for listening.

Good Morning it's Thursday April 22nd, and this is The Wenatchee World's podcast, Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.    Today --- This Monday was not your typical Monday in the Wenatchee School District. The elementary schools were bustling. No more hybrid learning. Students were back in the classroom full time for the first time in a year.   Today's episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success. Learn more at Equilusfinancial.com. Member SIPC and FINRA.   -   Now our feature story…   Classmates are finally getting to know each other again. They haven't all been together in more than a year because of COVID-19 restrictions.   In a way, it felt like this was the third “first day of school” for these elementary students.    There was the first of school in August when school was all online. Another first day of school in January when hybrid learning started. And on Monday, the third first day of school when students were back in the classroom all day.   Patti Montalvo, a first-grade teacher at Mission View Elementary School said that she feels like it'll take a week or two to get the routine down.    Even though they've been in the building, the student's haven't had this routine.    Mission View Principal Jeff Jaeger said it was great to see the kids.   Students and teachers were equally excited. He felt like things went fairly smoothly, though some tweaks were made to pick-up and drop-off.   Jaeger is thankful for the three days staff had last week to set up the classrooms.    At lunch, some students were using 20 foldable tables that were unpacked that morning.   They were set up 6 feet apart outside. The school also has a bunch of picnic tables.   Jaeger noted that it's been a tradition at Mission View that during nice weather, grades three, four and five eat outside. So they're used to it and don't mind sitting on the grass.   We also spoke with Amy Kerker, a music teacher at Washington Elementary School. Kerker had not taught in-person school in more than a year. While some of the other teachers had months of hybrid classes, specialists like Kerker went from full-time online to full-time in-person very suddenly.   Kerker told us that she's tired. Things are very different. She says It's great to see the kids, but still definitely an adjustment. They all have masks on and it can be tough to recognize them.    And there are a lot of restrictions in terms of what they can and can't do. Kerker said that though they're back in school full time it's not just back to business as usual. They're teaching with a ton of guidelines.   On top of that Kerker noted that they're not supposed to do a lot of singing and if they do sing, 6 feet of separation is required along with a time limit.   So some music teachers are taking students outside to sing.   First-grade teacher at Mission View, Montalvo said that Monday was a blur. She was worried all weekend — Asking herself if everything was ready - if she had enough sanitizer.   Then the day came, and to Montalvo it was in shock to see the students all together. They were beyond excited. And she asked them how they were feeling - excited, sad or nervous. And most were beyond thrilled.   But even after one day, she can see changes to make in the routine.   Things like handwashing took a lot longer than the school had planned. Just the overall flow of things may need a little bit of work. Despite so much planning Montalvo noted that when you actually put it into play it doesn't always go quite like you imagined.   When we spoke with Erin Roberts, a parent of three students — first, fourth and fifth graders — at Newbery Elementary School, she was thrilled. She said the first day of full-time school was “awesome.”   Her kids all came home with great stories. They were very nervous in the morning, but were excited to go back the next day.    Finally, we spoke with Alfonso Lopez, the principal at Lewis & Clark Elementary School. Lopez said it's a new routine for the kids to be in school full time. He expects that it'll take a few days for everyone to really adjust.   Lopez also noted that lunchtime went better than we expected. At Lewis & Clark, they had half of the students eating in the cafeteria seated 6 feet apart, while the others ate outside on the grass.    That part is new, but the kids enjoyed it. It was like a picnic. Going forward they'll be rotating who eats where every two weeks.   This crazy year of COVID has accounted for a lot of firsts, not the least of which is, first days of school.   For more on this story visit us at wenatcheeworld.com. --   Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health.

Dozens of vineyards and more than 30 wineries have sprung up around the southeastern tip of the scenic lake since the turn of the 21st century.    And though the vineyard region is young - the optimum conditions coupled with the lake's magnetic draw on tourists may make Lake Chelan one of the state's premiere wine destinations.    Lake Chelan became Wahsington's 11th American Viticultural Area back in 2009. Most planted grape varieties include Syrah, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Malbec, Riesling and Chardonnay, but there are actually 20 plus grape varieties on more than 300 acres within the Lake Chelan AVA.   As one of the region's most accomplished wine makers, Ray Sandidge knows what makes the area so special. His 36 year career has included dozens of award winning vintages. Some of his wines have even been served in the white house.    Sandidge says that there's no other region in the state where grapes are grown like they are here. The narrow lake basin is surrounded by steep hillsides planted with vineyards ranging between one to two thousand feet elevation. The steep foothills block the westside rain and provides good airflow. And the lake cools the air in the summer and warms the air in the fall and winter. It protects the vines from weather related injury.   You can read more about wine in wenatchee in the May 2021 edition of Foothills Magazine.

It's considered an official event of the Apple Blossom Festival, with the car parade taking place the night before.   Those interested in registering a car for this year's parade can visit eastwenatcheewa.gov. The first vehicle fee is $12, while the second and third cost $10. Registration for commercial vehicles costs $35.   The official press release also noted that parade attendees are required to wear a facemask and practice social distancing.   Thanks for listening.

Good Morning it's Saturday March 20th, and this is The Wenatchee World's newest podcast, Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.    Today - Hannia Dalay Paulina Mosqueda Rodríguez, or simply Paulina, was found dead in March 2020 in a Wenatchee ravine five months after she went missing. She was just 18 years old.   This episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success. Learn more at Equilusfinancial.com. Member SIPC and FINRA.     Now our feature story...   Seventeen months ago. That was the last time Edith Rodríguez Chávez saw the inside of her daughter's bedroom.   She didn't dare go in.   Hannia Dalay Paulina Mosqueda Rodríguez, or simply Paulina, was found dead March 17, 2020 in a Wenatchee ravine five months after she went missing. She was 18.   Paulina's death was ruled a homicide by the Chelan County coroner. There have been no arrests.   On Monday, Rodríguez and her longtime partner, José Miramontes, entered the room for the first time since Paulina's disappearance.   Aside from a few small alterations, Paulina's childhood room has gone untouched.   Now, Rodriguez has a question to whoever killed her daughter:   “What did she do to you? What harm did she do to you to have deserved the harm done to her?” She says that they finished her the day they killed her daughter.   Paulina went missing in October 2019. And what happened in the hours preceding her disappearance is not clear.   She was supposed to take a bus from Seattle to Wenatchee, but she didn't show up at the bus station. Paulina eventually texted Rodríguez that she would catch a ride with a friend.   But still, she didn't make it… then Rodríguez's calls to her daughter went unanswered.   Later that day Paulina's aunt texted Rodríguez saying Paulina was at the Wenatchee Valley Mall in East Wenatchee. And Rodriguez texted her to come home.   The message went unanswered.   Rodríguez knew something was wrong. The mother and daughter had had their squabbles, but never silence.    Now, Rodriguez says it's been too long. It's going to be a year since her death, and law enforcement hasn't shown any results.   Paulina's body was ultimately found outside Wenatchee city limits in Chelan County. She was reported missing in Douglas County. That means the investigation into her death and disappearance is a joint effort by the two counties' respective sheriff's offices.   Law enforcement officials say they haven't given up.   And though there are no suspects, detectives are continuing to pursue leads.   For now, anyone with information related to the death of Hannia Dalay Paulina Mosqueda Rodríguez should contact the Chelan County Sheriff's Office at 667-6851 or the Douglas County Sheriff's Office at 884-0941.   Today, an altar in honor of family members who've died greets guests near the entrance of her small home. Most prominent is a 3-foot tall photo of Paulina in a pink quinceañera dress.   Paulina was 2 years old when Rodríguez moved her to Waterville from Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico. She was the youngest of three after two brothers in their late 20s.   She was a happy girl who loved music, dancing and cooking. Tortillas were her specialty.   She worked at a packing shed, like her mother, and never missed work. She wanted to be able to afford nice things one day, like the blue Chevy Camaro that sits under a carport at her mother's home.   Now, Rodriguez scrolls through photos and videos while tears disappear behind her mask as they roll down her cheeks.   Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health.

She has worked her way up from footwear associate to assistant manager, all while raising a family at home. Her dedication, hard work and loyalty through the years, including the extra hours she put in during the pandemic, prompted her employers to nominate her a member of the Wenatchee Valley Business World's 30 Under 35 Class of 2020.   We asked Lau what accomplishments she is most proud of, and Lau said that She's very proud of her journey at Stan's Merry Mart. She has worked at Stan's Merry Mart since 2009, and has always wanted to be a part of a company that made a difference. During her fourth year there she realized it was right in front of her. She became a supervisor in June 2016, and then became the assistant manager in March 2018.   We also asked Lau who inspires her to be successful - her answer? She owes a lot to her parents for her work ethic. They taught her that you show up to work and you give 100% every day.     By the way - it's time for the 11th annual World's Best, the Wenatchee World's tribute to recognizing the Best of our area. This year, things will be a little different and we need your help! We are looking to you to nominate your favorite businesses, people and places in Round 1. From March 17th to April 4th, go to wenatcheeworld.com/worldsbest to submit your nominees on the ballot. Round 2, the voting round, will be live on April 21. Visit wenatcheeworld.com/worldsbest for more information.    Now, some history…   In the early 2000s, the traditional fruit orchards in the valley began to yield to grape vines. Tourists had already found the Bavarian flavor of Leavenworth and the sunny beauty of Lake Chelan and growers and vintners noted the good growing conditions for wine grapes. By 2004, 17 wineries had sprung up in Chelan, Douglas, and Okanogan counties with 19 more licensed for a total of 23 active and projected just in Chelan County.   -   Thanks for listening.

Good Morning it's Tuesday January 5th and this is Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.    Today - How the hospitality industry has been affected by the pandemic, and how they're coping.   Today's episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success. Learn more at Equilusfinancial.com. Member SIPC and FINRA.   Now our feature story…   It doesn't take an industry expert to deduce that our hospitality industry has been decimated by the COVID-19 pandemic.   With all travel ill-advised, indoor service at restaurants barred, and events canceled - hospitality has inevitably been impacted.   The question is, by how much?   For restaurants and hotels around the state, the economic harm has been staggering.   The Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce recently hosted a roundtable for members in the hospitality industry.    According to the Washington Hospitality Association or WHA, over 100,000 jobs in the industry have been lost. They predict a 45% permanent restaurant closure rate across the state.    And a survey done by the American Hotel and Lodging Association found that almost half of lodging properties will go into foreclosure.    Leavenworth's tax receipts show business experienced dramatic drops early on — a 76% drop in March, 97% in April and 53% in May.    Chelan, however, is the outlier.    Chelan is above 2019 dollars by 1% — through the first nine months of the year.   That's mainly because of the tourism swell from June through September — to which anyone who visited the lake town over the summer can attest.   The city was packed to the gills with Seattleites, out-of-towners and local Wenatchee folks looking to escape the mundane for the campgrounds, vineyards and Lake Chelan.   But a busy summer didn't necessarily outweigh the hotel/motel tax revenue drops were stark in March, April, and May.   While Campbell's Resort and Midtowner Motel President Tom Campbell conceded that they had a good summer, overall the COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating to his business.   He said that the net effect on their business has been nothing short of a disaster for us and the industry.   Aside from the summer tourism, Campbell said a lot of their room bookings come from conferences, events and government meetings.   Leavenworth, which is also known as a resort location, is in the same boat. Even without a Christmas Lighting Festival this year, people are still coming to Leavenworth.   On the opposite end of the spectrum, Wenatchee has been down in lodging tax dollars all year. Even in the two months prior to COVID-19 Wenatchee was below 2019 revenues by about 17%.    Jerri Barkley, the marketing director at Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce said that the average daily rate of a room has dropped by almost $30 and only 54% of rooms rented.   While Barkley said she hasn't tried to predict whether certain hotels would close, what makes her nervous heading into 2021 is the fact that three more properties are already under construction and planning to open - adding 300 hotel rooms to the inventory.   And conventions - Wenatchee area hotels' bread-and-butter - are still a question mark heading into 2021.   Freyda Stephens, general manager at the Coast Wenatchee Center Hotel, said they're not anticipating bigger meetings until late 2021 or 2022.   Steve Tramp, the owner of the Wenatchee Comfort Suites and Quality Inn said he's been running about 50% of the business they did last year.   So, why open a hotel now?   Tramp admitted that you might say it's crazy now, but they have the building, they have the permit, and there is no better time to learn than during the slow season.   Tramp expressed optimism though when looking ahead, he's a glass-half-full kind of guy.   Tramp said that despite everything, there is some good stuff too. We have a tendency to look at the things that don't appeal to us and miss the positive things.   Next, a virtual event is coming up where actors will portray formative women from Wenatchee's past.   Actors will be dressing as formative and influential women from Wenatchee's past at a Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center program on Thursday the 7th.    The virtual People of Our Past event is a continuation of the museum's series on women's suffrage, celebrating the female voice.   Amy Edwards will play the role of Elsie Parrish, a chambermaid who sued the Cascadian Hotel for unpaid wages and helped to create a minimum age for women after taking her case to the Supreme Court.   Kristy Clare will play as Wenatchee's first female doctor, Katie Renggli as the first female attorney of the Chelan County Bar Association and Julie Kuntz as an influential local educator.   Each session of the virtual event will feature a video about one of the local historical figures.   The event will take place at noon on January 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th. You can make reservations at wwrld.us/wenatcheewomen or by calling 888-6240.   In 1906 a man named Andy Gossman came to Wenatchee from Minnesota. He set up the C&O Nursery, supplying fruit trees to growers planting orchards. That year 60 carloads of fruit, mainly apples, were shipped out of the Wenatchee Valley.   Thanks for listening.

I am so over blessed with being able to spend 5 year with my wife. And here’s to many more.We had an amazing time in our vacation to Washington state in the Lake Chelan area.It was a great time to just be together, catch up on sleep, but more importantly we were able to connect again, which is hard to do in the daily grind of life.I wouldn’t change my life for the world, but there are times where you need to get away, and this was the perfect get-away for us.We got to enjoy a massage in our room, go on a beautiful hike up a mountain to see and witness some breath taking scenes. We drank some wine and cider, roasted marshmallows by the campfire, mini golfed and got soaked while kayaking.It couldn’t have been better, come and join us on our journey into 5 years together.

Look, we don't really know much about this upcoming game other than WSU is going to win.  We're still not sure what New Mexico State's mascot is.  We're pretty sure it's the Gauchos or Torreros.   So we spend the rest of the time talking about being dragged to Lake Chelan, the new swear words our kids are using, and then shit gets real weird when we all bust out our Super Mario impressions.  It's not great! As always, with @SeaStorm24, @BigWoodWSU, @HenduManchu, and @GeoffONeil

Thousands flock to this destination every summer, and more people are choosing to buy second homes or vacation rentals in this recreation paradise. Brian calls on Keith Wells, who owns the local Windermere office, for tips on buying the right property in this popular area.

This week we sit down with Peg Carlson-Hoffman and Chuck Hoffman, Executive Directors of Holden Village above Lake Chelan in Central Washington State. They discuss recent mine remediation efforts in the tailings surrounding Holden Village and the Village's environmental sustainability, stewardship, and education work.

The New School - Music Manager Brady Kuntz Brady Kuntz grew up in the central Washington town of Wenatchee, as the youngest of three. Brady played sports growing up and spent his summers at nearby Lake Chelan where his love for Country Music artists such as Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw grew. Brady however, had no intention of pursuing any kind of musical career after high school and entered school on a Golf scholarship at Boise State University. Between injuries and a longing for something a little more, Brady left Boise a year later and transferred schools. While deciding where to transfer schools Brady, on a whim, decided he wanted out of the Pacific North West and drove cross-country on New Years Day to Tennessee. Brady soon began working at Vanderbilt Legends Club, where he met Palmer. The two became close friends, sharing the same love for Country music and the want to be a part of it. In the fall of 2017, Palmer met three-time Grammy Award winning producer Jaquire King. After a round of golf together, a few songs exchanged and a handshake, Brady began becoming mentored by King as a young artist manager and Palmer found himself with an artist development deal. The first single from the deal titled "We Got the Night" is to be released January 11th" Brady Kuntz Artist Manager BK Management 319 Winding Brach Ct.

We spent the 4th of July at Lake Chelan for the first time just a couple of days ago. As you know, the 4th is the national holiday celebrating the independence of the U.S from England. It is a day off for everyone, and usually involves a huge fireworks display. My sister-in-law owns a cabin that is right on the lake, a perfect holiday home, and an exciting place to get together and enjoy the water and the celebrations. I must say that the fireworks were definitely not the highlight of the evening. The cabin is located down the lake, far away from the spot where the fireworks take off. In fact, we were so far away, that they looked like a tiny display coming from someones backyard! A bit of an anticlimax really. However, we had had a wonderful time with our friends, and making new ones. I have never lived by water. When I was a child, I would spend summers in Mallorca, and go to the beach every day. But, actually living on the water, especially a lake, would be a very different experience for me. It struck me how relaxing it was sitting talking at a table, with the cool, clean water of Lake Chelan just a few feet away, gently lapping on the sand. I don't think anybody felt stressed. The wine and beer flowed, and then the music started. About half of the people at the party randomly jumped in the water, just like that. The sun gradually went down over the mountains that look over the lake, and all the lights of the houses on the other side of the water came on. That in itself was wonderful enough; it was so pretty. The air was a perfect temperature and smelled so clean, with a hint of pine. And we sat on the dock and swung our legs like children as a group of us talked about deep things. If I had my way, every holiday would be like that.

The last week of TBTL was an emotional one, and there isn’t really a great way to recap someone’s grief over the loss of a friend. Instead, Mike shares one of his own tough experiences with Ann and Bobby, and we all do some metaphorical (not literal) phone-hugging. That said, don’t worry! It’s not all so serious. We still had plenty of time to pick apart the guys’ irrational anxieties, our own issues with statue permanence (thank you David Copperfield), Emu’s Pink Windmill Kids, Mike’s crack update, Bobby’s Red Scare stare, Ann’s concern for Mr. Rogers, and a delicious veggie wedgie. Now if only we could explain that smell from the attic… Click here to take your seat in the Kia Optima for an audio ride back in time to a July 2017 trip to Lake Chelan, as referenced in today’s show.

So what do you do when it is too hot outside to garden or play? If you're smart, you will call some friends, jump in the car, and go to the nearest lake. Lucky for me (1), there is a lake 45 minutes away called Lake Chelan. It is huge. It's actually 50 miles long and 1,486 ft deep (at its deepest point). There are lots of little beaches around the edge of the lake, some of which have become camping grounds. As the water comes from the mountains during the spring, it is clean and cold. Some people fish for the salmon and trout that can be found. There are always boats, including speed boats, and skidoos that whizz around. Friday was the day that we went. I invited my friend Natalia, and my daughter and her friend also came. We brought all sorts of equipment so we would be comfortable. As the temperatures here increase dramatically during the summer days, I took a four legged canopy (2) so we could have plenty of shade. Nataliya brought inflatable beds, and both of us brought a picnic. It took a while to set everything up, but once we had, it was time to relax. The beach was full of tourists from Russia, India, and South America. Many of them had come from Seattle. That city, after all, is not as hot as this eastern region. So, if you want a hot day and a cold lake, Chelan is a good place to visit. The kids immediately got in the water and floated around on one of the inflatables. I waited until I was hot and desperate to cool down. Then I walked down to the slightly pebbly beach and put my toes in the water. It was freezing! I'm normally brave, but I knew at that second that I wasn't going swimming! I waded (3) out slowly and carefully, promising myself that I would at least dip myself in the water. "One, two, three!" I said and under I went. I sprang up like hot toast out of a toaster and ran to the shore. What a baby! I warmed myself in the sun, and then I realized how smooth the water had made my skin. The kids got an ice-cream, and Natalia shared her Russian bologna and bread, perfect! Three hours came and went, and before we knew it, it was time to go. I'm so thankful that it doesn't take hours and hours to get there. The next time we go I won't be such a baby; I'll actually go for a proper swim.  1. 'Lucky for me' is a shortened version of 'luckily for me'; both are fine to use. Of course this adverbial phrase can be used with other object pronouns (him, her, you). a. Lucky for him, he drove his car away before the parking officer put a ticket on his windshield. b. Lucky for them, they bought the concert tickets early before it sold out. 2. 'Canopy' is a shade. It is also used figuratively.  a. The houses all have canopies over the front doors as the sun here is unforgiving. b. The trees of the forest create a natural canopy, and everything underneath is shaded. 3. 'To wade' is to walk slowly through the water. It is, as you can see, a very specific verb. However, it is a great verb to use figuratively especially if you want to give the sense of having to move slowly through something thick. a. The fisherman put his rubber waders on his legs and waded out into the fast flowing river. b. My supervisor gave me so many papers to check that I spent all day wading through them.  

I recorded this one for you following on from a “Facebook Live” that I did on the same topic… Talking about how to use technology to beat “THE MILL” like PT Clinics seemed to really hit home with my Facebook Community so I decided to extend what I had to say on the topic - and put it on this podcast for you. What's important for you to understand is “what technology” actually is - and it's things like Facebook, Instagram, Blogs, Infusionsoft etc - all these incredible things that are at your disposal to begin and enhance relationships with potential patients. We all have access to these things - but not many people use them effectively. It is HOW and WHY you use them that makes the difference. In my world, at the Paul Gough Physio Rooms, these technologies are used to SUPPORT THE PATIENT on the journey that they are going on to get the help they need… It's rarely ever the case that patients are just waking up and deciding to book appointments with a PT - what is more true is that they are agonizing over the decision to come and see you and if you accept that, and then use the available technology to support them on THAT journey, then it becomes very easy to beat “The Mill” like clinics who are all about the “bang they can get for their buck - and who would never factor in the time to do any of the things like that I talk about on this episode. I'm hoping you will. Enjoy the Podcast - it's recorded live from the balcony of my hotel room overlooking the gorgeous Lake Chelan and staring at snow toped mountains all around, the morning after I gave my talk at the Washington State Private Practice Section Annual Conference. Thumbnail: that's me with PT “Brian Cronin” - one of the top guys involved at the Washington State Private Practice Section after my Keynote that day… For more information on how to get started with Infusionsoft click the following link: paulgough.com/infusionsoft

This week's podcast is about my father, the late Robert L Jones Sr. who departed this mortal coil at 7pm on August 2nd, 2016.   This podcast discusses his early years, the struggles with family, his older sister dying, his marriage, his years moving and working in towns with funny names, like Chehalis, Wenatchee, Tonasket, Yakima, and Olympia.  We visited Lake Chelan.  We almost died boating.  We almost died moving.  We almost died in a head on car accident outside of Yelm, Wa.  Basically, we almost died a lot. I also discuss his last 25 years living in Ocean Shores, Wa with my mother, and the toll life took on him. Lastly, it wasn't lost on me that the very thing my dad had always looked for to fill the hole in his life was always right in front of him.  He figured that out, and I couldn't be happier about that. I will miss him like no other, and I hope you enjoy this insight into the man that made me what I am.  I apologize for the salty dialogue in advance, and I truly thank you for listening to this memorial by yours truly.   I love you, Dad.  Thank you for making me, me. You are the definition of a Superhero.

TIPS FOR PLANNING A DUDE RANCH VACATION There are three types of dude ranches: resort ranches, traditional ranches, and working ranches Traditional ranches focus primarily on riding, working ranches are small and you are more involved in the operations of the ranch, and resort ranches offer other amenities like spas and gourmet dining Working ranches are best for kids 12 and up Traditional ranches and resort ranches typically have children's programs You don't need experience horseback riding to enjoy a dude ranch, lessons are provided Most ranches offer nighttime activities like line dancing, cookouts, etc. Use the Dude Ranch Association website to research ranch options, starting with location and type of ranch You can call the ranch you are considering to see if they know the ages of other kids coming that week to try to find a good match for your family Think about the closest airport and research the flight availability and costs Dude ranch vacations are all-inclusive of food and activities and range from $1400-1800 per person per week during peak season and child rates are available The typical dude ranch vacation is a week, but all have a minimum of a three-night stay What to pack: boots with a heel, a brimmed hat, jeans, sweatshirts, sunscreen, bug spray, casual clothes and shoes (hiking boots, sneakers) The ranch will provide water bottles Wrangler jeans are best because the seams are on the outside of the leg Repeat business is 60 percent and many families book when they leave so plan a family dude ranch vacation at least six months in advance if you are going during peak season Some ranches offer different lodging options from a lodge hotel-like stay to cabins or larger houses for big groups DUDE RANCHES There are over 100 dude ranches in the Dude Ranchers Association, all west of the Mississippi, largely in Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado. This summer, Tamara will be visiting the Nine Quarter Circle Ranch in Montana. She was also considering Lone Mountain Ranch in Big Sky, Montana, which is a resort ranch that is now officially a part of National Geographic’s Unique Lodges of the World. When you reserve a stay through National Geographic you receive exclusive offers including a private tour with a lodge naturalist of the Gallatin River followed by a picnic by the riverbank. During the chillier months, a lodge historian will provide a comprehensive history of the property with a private Chef's dinner featuring creative and local Western Cuisine.   Colleen also recommends Paradise Ranch in Wyoming and Lost Valley in Colorado. FAVORITE TRAVEL GEAR When visiting ranches, Colleen likes to wear her Wrangler jeans, Stetson straw cowboy hat, Justin or Ariat boots and a long-sleeved shirt. Just make sure you don't have any bling on your jeans pockets!

Our recent camping trip turned out to be more interesting than I had expected. My family and I drove up to a remote forest area near Lake Chelan. There were no houses nearby, and only a few signs of human life(1). We set up our campsite next to a dirt path, overlooking a spectacular view of some distant mountains. It is very dry this time of year, but there are enough trees to offer some welcome shade(2). We rode our dirt bikes, built a campfire, the boys did some target practice with their BB guns, and we generally relaxed and explored. Some friends also joined us, one of whom is a hunter, and a bit of an animal expert. When he arrived, before he even said, "Hello," he presented us with a snake that he had just found on the property. "It's a kind of Boa," he explained. We all leaned forward to have a better look. It was small and green, and seemed to be a very gentle creature. It doesn't eat, bite, or sting humans, so I was quite happy to hold it. My daughter, who is an animal lover, borrowed it for quite a few hours. It curled around her hands, wrists, shoulders, and even her neck. I think it appreciated her warmth(3). The snake is now in a very nice terrarium back at the house where it is being thoroughly spoiled, and is growing longer and fatter.   1. 'Only a few signs of human life,' shows how remote the place was where we were camping. ' A sign of/ a few signs of' is an effective way of expressing the lack of impact of humans. It can also be used with many other subjects. It is similar to using the expression 'traces of'. a. As we walked through the forest, we could only see a few signs of the fire that had happened five years ago.  b. There were signs of animal activity in our garden: bear tracks and claw marks on the trees! 2. 'Welcome' is used as an adjective in the context of something being  appreciated, a help, or a relief. a. At the end of my marathon, I was offered some cold water. It was truly a welcome drink. b. The old men meet at the coffee shop where they have a welcome conversation. 3. The verb 'to appreciate' can be added into conversation easily and effectively to show fluency. a. Thanks for helping me with the paperwork; I really appreciate it! b. I appreciate how you listen so well. Click the link for the Android app // //   //   //

"A change is as good as a rest" is a common saying in England. And that's what I've been having. It's summer, the children are out of school, our routine is up in the air(1), and we've been getting out of town. Have you noticed? I haven't been talking into my little snowball microphone recently because I've been going here and there(2). The place I've been to most recently is Lake Chelan. It's only a forty-five minute drive(3) from Wenatchee, but it feels as if you are in another state. Obviously, there is a lake there, and it's a huge one. It's actually the 26th deepest lake in the world, at 1,486 ft. It's name, Chelan, is taken from the Native American word 'Tsillan' which means 'deep waters'. It's also very long: 55 miles total. It's a popular place for boating, water skiing,  and fishing. There are many species of salmon, trout, and bass in the lake. The salmon, called the Chinook, can get up to 30lbs in weight, with the average weighing between 9 and 16lbs. It's very exciting fishing when you can get such a big fish, and one that's so delicious. When we fished there unfortunately the salmon were not interested in our bait(4) or hooks. Maybe we were making too much noise because we were having too much fun. The fun continued later, back at the campsite, when we rode our dirt bikes(5) along a dirt road(6) that circled through the forest and back up to where we were camping. Night came, and we settled into our trailer, the trailer that we use for the dirt bikes. We slept on mats and in sleeping bags, all packed in like sardines. It was funny, uncomfortable, and we didn't sleep much, but that's all part of the camping experience.  1. 'Up in the air' is a phrase that means 'random', 'unorganized', 'unsure' and 'unplanned'. a. My plans for summer are up in the air still; we haven't planned anything definite. b. I don't know if their wedding is on or off; it's all up in the air. 2. 'Here and there' talks about unspecific locations. a. Where have you been?    Oh, here and there.  b. He leaves his shoes here and there, all over the house! 3. 'A forty five minute drive' 'a thirty minute walk' 'a two hour hike'. Can you see a pattern here? Even though we're mentioning more than one minute or hour, the phrases are singular. a. It's just a twenty minute train ride into town. b. It's a three hour flight to the capital. 4. 'Bait' is the word for food that is put on a hook for fish, or that is put in a trap for hunting. a. The bait for fishing is usually worms. b. Fresh meat is good bait if you want to hunt cougars. 5. 'Dirt bikes' are motor bikes that can ride on hills, and rough roads. They usually get very dirty. a. I took the dirt bike on the mountain trail; it was so much fun! b. If you get the right license, you can use a dirt bike on a normal road. 6. 'A dirt road' is usually a primitive road that is not paved, or tarmacked. It can be a private road that is not maintained by the local council. 'Dirt' in the U.S means 'soil' or 'earth'. In England it means any substance that is 'dirty', not necessarily soil. a. We walked up the dirt road until we came to a sign that read 'Private Property'. b. The road up to the houses is a nice asphalt, smooth road. Beyond the houses it turns into just a dirt road. Join me on Facebook at Anna Fromacupofenglish.
