Welcome to beautiful Kittitas County! Tome it’s always been home. My parents cameto America from Italy in the early 1900s. Herein Cle Elum they homesteaded a track of landsouth of the railroad tracks, and establisheda dairy farm and a grocery store.

Our growing up on the farm was very spe-cial and carefree. We would play games likeKick the Can, Hide and Seek, and Hop Scotch.We loved sliding down the haystack, taffypulls and Bocci Ball Day on Sunday.

When I was growing up everyone wasfriendly and helpful to each other. We used todeliver milk and groceries, and at one time Iknew everyone on First and Second Streets.

On the farm, someone was always eatingwith us. It was nothing to have 15 to 20 peo-ple for dinner – and we had a small house.Everyone just took their plate sat whereverthey could.

When there was rationing during the war,it didn’t bother us a bit because we were al-ways self-sufficient. We had chickens, cows,and pigs. We made the best sausage, and my

dad had a smoke house and smoked ham.We didn’t have a lot of material things, butwe were well fed.

I married Ray Kladnik and have three chil-dren: Kathleen, Kenneth and Keith. Theyloved going mushroom hunting, huckleberrypicking and family get togethers. Ray lovedthe outdoors. He said our property on LakeCle Elum was his heaven on earth.

Anytime we’d visit Seattle, or the shorttime we lived in Yakima, I was always anx-ious to get back to Cle Elum. When we’dcome off the freeway and see the lights of CleElum, I knew I was home.

In my lifetime, there have been manychanges – several wars, television, comput-ers and a man on the moon. We had the bestof times growing up in this wonderful com-munity, and making it our home.

To visitors and new residents, I hope youenjoy the area as much as we have. Get out andenjoy the people, the scenery and all the fun cel-ebrations like Pioneer Days. I welcome you to Kit-titas County; I welcome you to my home.

QUEEN KATIE WELCOMES YOU HOME...

Fire Upyour Memorial Day Weekend

…with a parade and a car show in Easton nobody in the family will everforget. Saturday, May 29, Easton Memorial Day festivities begin at 8:00a.m. with a pancake breakfast hosted by volunteer firefighters, followed bya car show at 9:00 a.m., and then it’s Easton’s classic Memorial Day Pa-rade at noon. Lots of variables go into the equation producing the sumtotal of Easton’s parade day, which work together to paint the portrait ofAmerica as Charles Kuralt would have it. Without much argument, Eas-ton’s parade day fits Kuralt’s bill. On parade day look for over 30 vendorbooths, offering home barbecue, arts and crafts, lemonade and hot dogs,and lots of surprises for kids. Last year parade organizers welcomed over40 float and vehicle entries and a car show featuring some of the sweet-est looking hotrods in the state. On May 29, people from all over the region,as far away as Oregon, will flock to Easton. Why don’t you?

Classic car buffs roll out for the Easton Memorial Day Parade and carshow events at the end of May. N.K.C. TRIBUNE/JIM FOSSETT PHOTO

2010 Pioneer Queen Katie Kladnik grew up in CleElum on the farm of her Italian parents Frankand Regina Dalli. She has fond memories of thattime and raising her family here, too. She wel-comes you to Kittitas County.

… on Saturday, July 10 at the Upper County’s Third Annual Railsto Ales Brewfest, held at the historic Milwaukee Depot in South CleElum. The event showcases regional breweries like Mac & Jack’s, IronHorse, Diamond Knot Brewing, and Fox Barrel Cider Company. Thisyear’s headliner in the entertainment department is Vicci Martinez.The event will be a sellout, with ticket sales limited to 1,500. Organ-izers say they believe the smaller the venue – the better the festival.Sixteen regional breweries will be pouring samples of two to three oftheir finest brews in the unique setting of the Ironhorse State Park’sMilwaukee Road Depot and Railyard. Live bands, including Vicci’sshow, two wineries, food vendors and prizes will once again round outthe festivities. When asked “What would you tell friends and familyabout the Brewfest event and location?” 2009 survey results included:“I really enjoy the low key atmosphere. It really seems to be peoplegenuinely interested in the beer and having a fun safe time,” and“… good chance to meet brewers.” The event raises funds for the Cas-cade Rail Foundation’s ongoing maintenance of the Milwaukee RoadDepot and Railyard, which they helped Washington State Parks ren-ovate from the ramshackle dilapidated building to its original con-dition. The Depot now houses a museum displaying Milwaukee roadrelics and memorabilia. The Depot Cafe, hailing back to the old‘Beanery’ eatery is still remembered by long-time residents. Checkwww.RailsToAlesBrewfest.com for tickets and updates.

Microbrewers show off their beer brewing craft with tasting samples at theRails to Ales Brewfest held in July at the historic Milwaukee Depot and Rail-yard in South Cle Elum. Sixteen brewers are slated to bring 2-3 beers eachhoping to take home this year’s coveted ‘People’s Choice Best Brewer Award’.

“Ride ’em cowboy!”… Yell that from the stands of the historic Ellens-burg Rodeo arena during Labor Day Weekend, Sept. 3-6, 2010 asyou watch the Ellensburg Rodeo. Founded in 1923, it’s one of the top20 professional rodeos worldwide, and features more than 500 com-petitors and a purse of over $250,000. This is a PRCA Rodeo, with noone but the best involved, and it attracts spectators from all over thecountry. Besides the top rodeo events, checkout “Slack” time, whichruns for three consecutive mornings (Sept. 3, 4 and 5) and is alwaysfree for spectators. What is “Slack?” The performers are the same cow-pokes you see in the regular rodeo (except for rough stock riders).You’ll see ropers and barrel racers competing for a spot in the rodeofinals. Slack is a “run-over” of competitors, and their inclusion is de-termined by the luck of the draw. Get your seat for the Xtreme BullsTour Finale in Ellensburg on Saturday, Sept. 4th at the Rodeo Arena.These are the baddest, meanest, rankest one-ton athletes in theworld. (We mean the bulls, not the cowboys.) This culminating tourevent has 40 of the world’s top bull riders taking a shot at the $85,000purse. Be sure to wave for the camera, as Xtreme Bulls will be televisednationally on ESPN2 and ESPN Classic. For detailed information or

ROSLYN MUSEUM

With the closure of the coalmines in theearly 1960s, Roslyn citizens decided to pre-serve the history that shaped their town. Theresult was the Roslyn Museum, established in1969 by interested citizens and administeredtoday by the Roslyn Museum Board, PresidentNick Henderson and staffed by volunteers.

The museum reflects the community’sproud ethnic history with more than 20 na-tionalities who didn’t ‘melt’ but held on totraditions and customs of the old countrywhile forging a new life in the New World.

Coal, the black diamond, helped themsurvive, but it also ended life for many inmine disasters big and small including the

biggest mining catastrophe in Washingtonstate history in 1892.

It wasn’t all disaster, however, life wasgood. People were resourceful, education wasavailable, you could own your own home, andfun was within easy reach with an extensivebaseball league, local bands and orchestraswho played for dances an other events, hunt-ing, fishing, the great outdoors and the firstBoy Scout Troop formed in the state.

How these hearty folks survived and flour-ished is recorded in the museum located at203 W. Pennsylvania Ave., Roslyn, 509-649-2355. For more info: email roslynmuseum@gmail.com or leave a message at phonenumber listed above. The Roslyn Museum is

open: Monday-Saturday, 1-5 pm, and Sun-day, 11 am - 3 pm. Admission by donation.

By the 1920s, state law required students to stayin school through 8th grade unless they hadwritten permission from their parents, but boysas young as 12 years old worked at the mines asrock pickers as shown in the above photo.

The Roslyn Historical Ceme-tery, a museum without walls,was placed on the National Reg-ister of Historic Places in 1978. Itreflects the ethnic mix of peoplewho settled Roslyn in the late1800s and early 1900s.

It’s actually a collection ofmore than 20 ethnic, fraternal andcivic lodge cemeteries – all clus-tered on a hill above town. Theland was donated by or pur-chased from the Northern PacificCompany for burial of deceasedmembers of the Lodges includingThe Independent Order of Odd Fel-lows (IOOF); Knights of Pythias; Slo-vakian Lodge; The Red Men Lodge;Cacciatori D’Africa (an ItalianLodge), Dr. David Starcevich LodgeNo. 56 (Croatian), Lithuanian, andothers representing over 20 differ-

ent nationalities in about 4,000marked gravesites and severalhundred unmarked gravesites.

Monuments and graves reflect

the customs and traditions of oldcountry cultures and record thepassing of individuals struckdown by epidemics, mine disas-

ters and the hardships of life.Memorial Day Weekend is cel-

ebrated as an opportunity to rec-ognize and honor those whosefinal resting place is here. Visitorsare encouraged both then andthroughout the year.

Improved access for visitors,family members, students, edu-cators, historians and genealo-gists is the goal of the RoslynCemetery Commission – while atthe same time preserving andprotecting its grounds and his-tory. To that end the Commissionaccepts donations to fund main-tenance and repair needs.

The Cemetery is open duringdaylight hours. More info isavailable at Roslyn Museum onPennsylvania St., and from TheRoslyn Cemetery Restoration Proj-ect, PO Box 451, Roslyn, WA98941, or call 425-941-2296.

Renactors exhibit the fashions of an era gone by during an event hosted bythe Cascade Rail Foundation at the historic Milwaukee Depot and Railyard inSouth Cle Elum. N.K.C. TRIBUNE/JIM FOSSETT PHOTO

SOUTH CLE ELUM DEPOT

The Milwaukee Railroad is considered one of the most significantand cherished railroads ever to exist in the United States. It beganpassenger service from Chicago to Tacoma in 1910, and in 1947 in-troduced the Olympian Hiawatha, a new streamlined train with Su-perdome and Skytop Lounge Cars. One of the stops along its routewas in South Cle Elum. Due to the efforts of the Cascade Rail Foun-dation, in partnership with Washington State Parks, that Depot hasbeen preserved for history, including the history of this railroad pro-gressing from coal, to electricity and finally to diesel. Inside the build-ing, visitors find a railroad museum and the Depot Café. Outside theycan walk the short Rail Yard Interpretive Trail, or take off for a longerhike or bike ride down the John Wayne Pioneer Trail – a part of IronHorse State Park. More information including future plans can befound at milwelectric.org.

Shoppers delight at homemade crafted items and baked goods at theSwauk Teanaway Grange Christmas Bazaar held in November.

N.K.C. TRIBUNE/JANA STONER PHOTO

This community icon quickly rose from the ashes of a fire in 2004 as a re-sult of the commitment of Swauk Teanaway Grange members andother community volunteers who would not let this cherished buildingpass into history. The physical rebirth of the building speaks to the en-ergy generated inside the Grange Hall where annually members offerthe community the Hunter’s Breakfast on Saturday, Oct. 16, the Christ-mas Bazaar on Saturday, Nov. 13, Christmas Dinner at the GrangeSunday, Dec. 12 and the Chili Cook Off every March. Those are just someof the anchor events at the Grange. In between they hold monthly“themed” potluck socials with live music and dances, and they’re al-ways coming up with new events to tease visitors out to the hall – for ex-ample: last year’s Bavarian Festival complete with ethnic food and liveBavarian music, which welcomed a capacity crowd. Visiting the Grangeis easy – everyone is welcomed. Joining the Grange is smart. When youdo, you become part of the greater state and national organization withan opportunity to work on issues impacting life in this community – andthe country. Plus, you’ll discover lifetime friends, activities to keep youhopping, and town halls on community issues to keep you informed.Just to see the building is a treat, so checkout the Grange Hall at 1361Ballard Hill Road. For more information on activities and becoming amember of the Swauk Teanaway Grange, call 509-857-2580.

Liberty is a tiny speck of a town in Kittitas County because there areonly a couple handfuls of residents. It’s a little mining town nestledin the Cascade Mountains, built at an elevation of 2650 feet with theWenatchee National Forest bordering every perimeter. Liberty is atown full of history and standing among its buildings takes you backto a time when it was a booming goldmine town. This little town hasbeen on the National and State Historical Register since October of1974, thanks to the efforts of Henrietta Fackler. She was a resident ofLiberty and quite a historian. Her daughter and son-in-law are cur-rent residents of the historic mining town. It’s an unusual town be-cause its people are steadfast and will always stand strong for whatis right – proving that the name “Liberty” was well given.

Ever had a huckleberry pancake? With a good berry-

picking season, you just might find one in Easton, along with someof the best burgers the state has to offer. Who or what is the cog inthe wheel that makes Easton run? Locals will tell you: volunteer fire-fighters, organizers of everything from the Cascade Crest 100 to thepancake breakfast and car show on parade day.

Hike, bike or ride your horse on any of the800 miles of trails traversing Kittitas Countyfrom mountain peaks to river valleys. Enjoywooded forests of pine and Douglas Fir, fastrunning rivers, waterfalls and all the wildlifegathered in those places. Whether you’relooking for the quick and easy, or want some-thing that challenges you, you’ll find some-thing here. For example, travel beside theformer Milwaukee Railroad line on the JohnWayne Pioneer Trail, or take an easy walk onthe Coal Mines Trail stretching between CleElum and Roslyn.

The John Wayne Pioneer Trail (JWPT) orIron Horse State Park spans nearly the wholestate of Washington and is fully maintainedin our county (not the case east of the Colum-bia River). The trail follows the old railroadpath and is part of our State Parks system. Ithas a family-friendly, wide, nearly level surfacethat’s easy to negotiate whether you’re on footor horseback. You can even ride a mountain-bike on the trail, but nothing that’s motorizedis allowed. State Park Rules are apply, andwith no hunting on the entire trail, it’s a safeone to be on during those seasons

The JWPT is quite long (nearly 100 miles),and follows the diversified terrain of KittitasCounty from Snoqualmie Pass to the Colum-bia River. You’ll see mountain ridges and gor-geous stands of fir trees where it’s forested.The trail then wraps and follows the YakimaRiver as it winds around Hwy 10. You’ll gothrough the farmlands of Ellensburg and thelittle city of Kittitas. The trail becomes desert-land (shrub-steppe) as it goes through Armyland, so be sure and stop at the kiosk pro-vided and get a free permit.

Are you looking for a quick activity? Youcan hike or ride horses on the Coal MinesTrail, which follows an abandoned railroad

path for about 4 miles. Originally, the rail-road connected the coalmines of Ronald toCle Elum, but it was abandoned in 1994. Thistrail welcomes mountain bikes and as soonas the snow flies, you can ride a snowmobileon the trail, too. In fact it’s perfect for intro-ducing “junior” to snowmobiles.

You’ll need to cross one road (SR903),which intersects the trail, as it connectsRoslyn and Ronald, but you can turn aroundat any point on the trail. There are a few “reststops” along the way in the form of benches,and the city endeavors to keep it an “inter-pretive” trail with numbered stops that cor-relate with a Tour Guide available at the localTribune Office. The trail begins on at the westend of Second Street in Cle Elum and con-cludes behind the Ronald Mercantile. Youneed to park legally even though there is nofee. A parking lot is available for the CoalMines Trail (free) in Roslyn.

On county trails stop to read the signs atthe trailheads to make sure you’re on an ap-proved trail for your activity. Where there’s ajunction the signs indicate which path is ap-proved for biking, hiking, horses or motorizedvehicles. Hiking is approved on any trail in the

Wenatchee National Forest, the Alpine LakesWilderness or trails close to communities. Ifyou’re riding a horse or mule most trails arefine but for your own safety pay attention tosigns to be sure you’re on the correct path.

ATV’s are legal only on marked 4WDtrails. Single-track trails are well markedand legal for motorcycles. Keep in mind thatdirt bikes and mountain-bikes aren’t al-lowed in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Don’ttravel a trail if the sign says, “No Motorizedor Mechanized” usage.

For complete trail information call the CleElum Ranger District Office at: (509) 852-1100.

When it comes to riding your horse, thereare definitely easy trails and more difficulttrails. It all depends on what level of condi-tioning you and your horse are at, and whatkind of trail you’d like to ride - just be sure toread the trailhead sign and find out if you’reallowed on a specific trail.

Maps of the area you’d like to visit areavailable at the Cle Elum Rangers District Of-fice at (509) 852-1100 or for a free USGS top-ographical map visit the USDA Forestry onlineat: http://fsgeodata.fs.fed.us/rastergate-way/scp/page_47120.html.

Horseback and wagon trail riders enjoy the wide pathway that the John Wayne Pioneer Trail offers acrossthe state. This particular trail is also popular for non-motorized use year round. JANIE MCQUEEN PHOTO

You can help generatefunds for the maintenance ofpublic land by having the cor-rect permit on your dashwhen you park. When it’ssnowing, the funds from park-ing permits are used to payfor snowplow maintenance,an operator, and usually toi-lets or rather “Honey Buckets.”When it’s not snowing, thereare several other importantmaintenance features at trail-heads. There are many placesin Kittitas County that requireparking permits, so it’s agood idea to be prepared.

… with one purpose in life: SPAWN. Kittitas County is home to thespawning grounds of the great Spring Chinook salmon. Over thelast 13 years, the hatchery in Cle Elum has midwived 700 adultsalmon each year to return to the Yakima River a cumulative totalof 12 million young salmon. Those youngsters make their way 300-miles down the Yakima to the Columbia River, and then to the Pa-cific Ocean. From there, they head north, to the Gulf of Alaska, tofatten up. After a couple years, they navigate their way thousandsof miles home to Kittitas County to spawn and die. In 2009, scientistsmapped over 1,500 salmon nests (redds) in the Yakima River and itstributaries. Spring Chinook symbolize a remarkable cycle of natureexplained by the hosts at Cle Elum Hatchery during tours offeredfrom May through September. Call the hatchery on 509-674-3715 fordetails. The salmon journey and the species’ life history has becomeone of the threads coloring the county’s tapestry. In the fall, if youtime it right, you can watch salmon spawning at the Salmon View-ing Trail off SR903, Salmon la Sac Road, just outside of Ronald. Lookfor a barely visible, brown sign, on the righthand side of SR903,printed with the words ‘Salmon Viewing.’ In July, the hatchery hostsits annual potluck salmon bake. You bring the potluck, the hatch-ery provides the salmon. Call the hatchery for dates and times.

Race against the clock… with Orienteering, a sport requiring navigational skills, and theuse of a map and compass. Participants are given an orienteeringmap – used to find control points – as they race against the clock toreach their final destination. This is a fun way to enjoy the outdoorswith the entire family, and learn compass/map skills while you’re outthere. At an orienteering race, you’ll always find a structured begin-ner’s course, too. When you arrive at a race, ask about the differentcourses. No one receives a map until the clock starts. There are check-points along each course where you’ll pick up electronic orienteeringdevices worn on the finger. Inquire at the registration table if you don’town your own device and they’ll help you get set up. The devices meanlive people aren’t required at each checkpoint. This is a fun way to getoutdoors, learn to read maps and use a compass. The registration feesare kept minimal to make the sport accessible for as many people aspossible. Event dates are available online at the Cascade Orienteer-ing Club website www.cascadeoc.org. Visit them to find out when theraces will be held in Kittitas County, and take note of the permanentcourses set up for practicing and keeping in shape between events.

Kittitas County is a fisherman’s heaven with oodles of lakes andstreams you can fish so don’t stop at just fishing in the Yakima River.Sure you’ll find exceptional fly-fishing in the Yakima, so you don’twant to miss it – but there are ponds, lakes and streams absolutelyeverywhere. That’s right, you can go anywhere in the county andfish as long as it’s according to state regulations. It’s a good ideato pick up a copy of the “Sport Fishing Rules 2010/2011 pamphletedition,” which is available at many local retailers. Learn all youcan before heading out and you will avoid any citations. The rulescan change each year - that’s why we have the pamphlets. You canalso fish the lakes and streams in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness,which is inside the Wenatchee National Forest and only accessibleby trail. Camping and fishing – there’s nothing in the world morerelaxing – even if it’s only for a weekend.

Reel in free fishThis year the Free Fishing weekend is June 12-13. This is an oppor-tunity for adults or kids to “try out” fishing to see if they like it. Ab-solutely no fishing license is required. You also don’t need a VehicleUse Permit to park, either. Isn’t that wonderful that you can fishanywhere in the state of Washington for free? Once again get yourhands on the fishing regulations (Sport Fishing Rules 2010/2011)there are rules you must still adhere to. The free part is for the li-cense and parking permit. You still have to fill out a Catch Cardand all other statewide rules apply. You can download a free copyof the pamphlet online at: www.wdfw.wa.gov/ or you can pick-upa copy for free at a local retailer.

Cast your rod and reel into the waters of Upper Kittitas County for somegreat fishing and family-fun memories.

RONALD, WA 98940

… in Ronald, at the Ronald General Store, a throwback to theday when general stores were the hub of a small community.Along with the store, Ronald boasts one of the smallest post of-fices in the state, a one-bay fire department, and a bar andrestaurant umbrella’ed in local lore. Just beyond Ronald is oneof Kittitas County’s portals to four-season backcountry recre-ation, with entry points, parks, trailheads and campgroundsall along Salmon La Sac Road. When you stop at the store,you’ll be greeted by owners Paul or Tina Vukonich, who turnedthe pre-1900’s building into a general store, preserving a pieceof town history. If you’re by the store in July, Paul will have his1925 Model T parked in the yard or across the street. The storehas been in operation since the late 1980s. The store marksone end point of the Coal Mines Trail, so if you’re movingthrough town on foot via the trail … you’re not going to missthe store, one of Ronald’s prominent, decades-old landmarks.

Directions to Ronald: From Seattle on I-90 eastbound, takeExit 80 toward Salmon La Sac. Follow signs to Roslyn,Salmon La Sac Road, and onward to Ronald.

FAST FACTOIDS: There are a little over 200 people living inRonald, home to several tradition bearers who remember theday when coal mining ruled the countryside. Mode Maras is

one of those. He’s a former coalminer still living in Ronald.“The building across the street from Ronald General Store thatwas recently torn down,” he said, “at one time housed a barwhere local workers and miners congregated, and later itserved as a gas station. The building had been moved therefrom No. 3 Coal Mine, at the end of the Coal Mines Trail. Atthe mine, the building served as a train depot. I recall a minesuperintendent by the name of Ronald, who is the man thetown is named for. A fire in August of 1928 burned down 27houses. The fire started when moonshiners blew up their still.”

Slide through the snowOn skies, sled or inner tube in the Hyak area of Snoqualmie

Pass, with the cold air blowing past your face, light shining on thewhite snow and the tinkling sound of icicles falling from the trees.Inside the park, you’ll see access to the beginning of the groomedJohn Wayne Pioneer Trail, which is very nearly level because it wasonce the old Milwaukee Railroad path. That’s a good place forcross-country skiing. To the left of the parking lot is a nicely ele-vated, undulating hill for tubing and sledding. The whole familyis welcome; just bring your own “sit-down” sled, saucer, or innertube. A big plus when you’re out for a day in the snow – there arewarm restrooms at the recreation area. All you need to enjoy Hyakis a Non-Motorized Sno-Park Permit – or you can buy one on-site– and there’s plenty of parking. Bring a packed, snowy weatherlunch with you with plenty of soup and hot chocolate and you’vetopped off the perfect day in the snow.
