Department of Ecology to Remove Some ''Woody Debris'' from Lake Chelan
PHP-Nuke March 11, 2010
Some Apple Trees Placed in Lake Chelan for Habitat Improvement to be Removed
This from a press release from the Washington State Department of Ecology:
The city of Chelan has received a $20,000 grant from the state’s Coastal Protection Account to pay for the plantings, and to create a native upland habitat that will have a direct benefit to birds, fish and other aquatic species. The Coastal Protection Account is funded by statewide water quality penalties and the assets in this account are used for restoration projects.

In addition to the plantings, some improperly placed complex wood habitat features on the lake will be removed.

“Woody debris can be an effective way to create in-lake habitat for fish. A few of these features that were installed near the city of Chelan have been poorly located, creating concerns about safety,” explained Jeff Lewis, section manager with Ecology’s Shorelands Program in Yakima. “Removing these complex wood habitat features will greatly improve conditions for people who enjoy boating and swimming on Lake Chelan.”

Ecology’s Washington Conservation Corps (WCC) members will begin the work the week of March 15 and be on site for about two weeks, stabilizing the eroding bank, removing some non-native vegetation, and planting the native species.

County Commissioner Doug England breathes a sigh of relief with news that one state agency is funding removal of "large woody debris" required to place in the lake for fish enhancement by another state agency.

Long time critic of the plan to place trees into the lake to enhance the fishery, Russ Jones of the Lake Chelan Sailing Association is pleased:

New Downtown City Planning Regulations Due March 31st
PHP-Nuke Mar 10, 2010
Last night's South Chelan neighborhood planning exercise is not the only initiative the City of Chelan Planning and Building Department is involved in.
Regulation development is part of the Downtown Master Plan. Those regulations are being written now, and will be released March 31st. Look for building height restrictions and a change in street setbacks.
Final work on a Shoreline Master Program and a look at the warehouse industrial area of Apple Blossom Center are also on the Planning Department plate.
Planner Craig Gildroy says the economic downturn is allowing staff time to play planning catch-up.

Lake Level Higher - Snow Pack Below Average
PHP-Nuke March 10, 2010
Click here for more snowpack pictures.
Lake Level is up about five feet higher than usual for this time of the year. The lake is still above 1090 ft, which is the usual about New Years. Mountain snow pack is about 81% of normal in the Lake Chelan Drainage, and water used for power generation is about half of normal because of powerhouse modernization.
Each snow year the PUD makes three trips into the upper reaches of Lake Chelan Drainage to measure the snow and it's water content. Those trips serve to verify information received from snow pillow measuring devices at each site. From the numbers observed from the ground, and information received from the pillows, the PUD makes lake management decisions.

Click here for an interactive Lake Level Graph.
GLC goes behind the numbers in this interview with PUD Power Resource Analyst Scott Buehn.

CLICK HERE and LISTEN
Buehn also explains how the lower than normal runoff forecast for Lake Chelan and the Columbia River effects the PUD bottom line.
The take home message for Lake Level Watchers is the lake level should remain above normal this spring and as full as usual July and August.

Chelan is one of the first smaller cities in the state to take in-depth planning to the neighborhood level. Gildroy says that is driven partly by housing issues.

Animal Control Budget Effects Enforcement in Non-City Areas
PHP-Nuke Mar 9, 2010
Click here for the Humane Society Page with a link to the Levels of Service document.
As the County Budget Goes, So Goes Animal Control Efforts
With the exception of animal control and licensing within the Chelan city limits, don't expect to see much of the Humane Society in the valley.
The program means that for every dollar a business donates to the Historic Downtown Association, that business receives a 75% credit on the next year's B&O payment plus the business can deduct the full amount on the Federal tax return. In short that means the dollars stay at home to benefit the downtown core.
County Commissioner Doug England says the total animal control budget for the county is $110,000. The agency will have up to 72 hours to respond to a complaint, and there will be no dog licensing within the county.

One Lightbulb at a Time!
A physics teacher in high school, once told the students that while one grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, a billion of them would.

With that thought in mind, read the following, obviously written by a good American .
Good idea One light bulb at a time .
The other day, a friend was in Lowes and was looking at the hose attachments. They were all made in China. The next day he was in a Ace Hardware and just for the heck of it, checked the hose attachments there. They were made in USA. Start looking.

In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else - even their job.

Another friend likes Hershey's candy. We noticed, though, that it is marked made in Mexico now. So he doesn't buy it any more. His favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico now . So he switched to Crest.. You have to read the labels on everything. This past weekend we were at a big box store and needed 60 W light bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets. In the light bulb aisle, we found the GE brand and an off brand labeled, "Everyday Value." We picked up both types of bulbs and compared the stats - they were the same except for the price. The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised us the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready for this - the USA at a company in Cleveland, Ohio . So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here.

So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets . . .yep, you guessed it, Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada.

The Everyday Value brand was less money and MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce I have been using for years and at almost half the price! My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA - the job you save may be your own or your neighbors!

If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others so we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time!

Let's stop buying from overseas companies!

We should have awakened a decade ago !!!! let's get with the program . . . help our fellow Americans keep their jobs and create more jobs here in the USA.


Attitude Is Everything
By Charles Swindoll

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.

It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company ...a church ...a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

We cannot change our past ...we cannot change the fact that people will act in certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have; and that is our attitude ...I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes" - Charles Swindoll





Tech Geeks & Cowboys


A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.

The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and a YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, 'If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?'

Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, 'Sure, Why not?'

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany .

Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says, 'You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves.' 'That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,' says Bud.

He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then Bud says to the young man,'Hey,if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?'

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, 'Okay, why not?'

'You're a Congressman for the U.S.Government', says Bud.

'Wow! That's correct,' says the yuppie, 'but how did you guess that?'

'No guessing required.' answered the cowboy. 'You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about cows...this is a herd of sheep. . . Now give me back my dog!"




$50 is $50

Morris and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year, and every year Morris would say, "Esther, I'd like to ride in that biplane and Esther always replied, "I know Morris, but that biplane ride is 50 dollars and 50 dollars is 50 dollars".

One year Esther and Morris went to the fair, and Morris said, "Esther, I'm 85 years old. If I don't ride that old biplane , I might never get another chance." Esther replied, "Morris that biplane ride is 50 dollars and 50 dollars is 50 dollars".

The pilot overheard the couple and said, "Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say a word I won't charge you! But if you say one word, it's 50 dollars." Morris and Esther agreed and up they went.

The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard. He did his daredevil tricks over and over again, but still not a word. `

When they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and said, "By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm impressed!" `

Morris replied, "Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Esther fell out, but you know -- 50 dollars is 50 dollars."



Italian Inginuity at Work

An old Italian lived alone in New Jersey.

He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard.

It seems his only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was now in prison... and the old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year.
I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot I know if you were here my troubles would be over... I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.

Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son..

Dear Pop,
Don't dig up that garden.
That's where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Vinnie

At 4 a.m.. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies.

They apologized to the old man and left..

That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now..
That's the best I could do under the circumstances.

Love you,
Vinnie
