Something New Is Brewing In Desert Aire
Local business entrepreneur Kate Long hopes to expand Desert Grinds in the
future to four total coffee shops.
In a quiet little corner of the Desert
Aire Shopping area, sits the small building
where Desert Grinds is housed. Don’t just
drive by, for heaven’s sakes. Drop in and say
hi.
Since June 8, owner Kate Long
opened Desert Grinds to supply Desert Aire’s
high demand for the black gold that is coffee.
“My brother Kevin told me I should
open a coffee shop,” Long said. “I have
wanted to own my own business for a long
time.”
Long got excited about the business
world while studying business and marketing
in school.
After graduating from Rogers High
School in Puyallup, Long moved to Eastern
Washington when she was 19. She gained
experience as a barista working at Aut-ToMocha in Wenatchee and the Coffee Cabin in
Cashmere.
“ I love Eastern Washington better
than the west side,” Long said. “Eastern
Washington is slower paced. It is not
congested. People here are so much nicer. It
is a great opportunity to be a first business
owner.”
Long’s favorite part of her job is
talking and socializing with the customers
and meeting new people. She also loves
owning her own business and receiving the
rewards from it. She prefers that to working
for someone else.
There is no question she loves what
she does, and has fun doing it. Long is
excited to start growing her business. She
hopes to open a total of four Desert Grinds
coffee shops by the time she is 30 years old.
Within the next year and a half, she would
like to open Desert Grinds #2 in the Spokane
area.
At Desert Grinds, Long has an
extensive list of coffee flavorings, both
regular and sugar free. Desert Grinds has
anything to suit your taste. She also serves
soft-serve ice cream, espresso shakes and
milkshakes to cool you off on those hot
Desert Aire Days.
If you are just plain hungry and
want a snack there are a variety of items to
choose from. Desert Grinds also has muffins,
cookies, protein bars, instant oatmeal and
bagels.
Come in and try what Desert Grinds
has to offer. Desert Grinds, located at
127 Frontier Way S.W. is open MondayThursday 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday 5 a.m.
to 6 p.m., Saturdays 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and
Sundays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. As you are passing
through, enjoy some coffee from Desert
Grinds. You can also email a coffee order at

Being Green
Life Is Good
Early Wednesday morning, on my busiest day of the week I got the call. One
of our friends had passed away. It was sudden and unexpected. I wanted to be there at that moment to console those closest to him but that
by Tammara Green
had to wait for the moment. It was beyond my human capacity to be there because
I definitely had pressing responsibilities that I had to attend to and I would be
there later in the day.
All day long as I drove around, sometimes aimlessly, I wondered why this
happened. It is part of life of course that is sometimes unpalatable. I also lost a
best friend several years ago so this seemed like another one of life’s blows, which
it was. In fact, I have lost so many precious people in the past 10 or 15 years that I
have stopped grieving and have gotten very accustomed to picking myself up and
moving on. It is not because I don’t feel sadness. It is because life is good.
Every time I think about a loved one, family or friend who has passed, I
think about the precious days I may or may not have left ahead of me. I feel the
need to feel the warm breeze, or take a road trip to the ocean and smell the salty
air, act a little ridiculous or dance like a fool because life is precious.
Oftentimes we forget how precious it is. One minute we are talking to someone and the next minute
they are not there. I clearly remember inviting my best friend to go with me to see a musical as I was doing
a review of it. I asked for two tickets so she could go with me. The week after she passed, I found myself
explaining that I didn’t need the extra ticket. I felt frozen in time at that moment. Plans we had made had been
rudely interrupted by death. How dare he! Well, my friends, it is a reality of life.
The more we try to ignore it the more death rears it’s ugly head and shows how powerful he is. At
a moments notice he can change your life. You know that thing you were going to do tomorrow? Remember
how you were going to really enjoy life and take a trip next year? The year after that? I don’t want to get
religious, but many have told me lately that we make plans and God laughs. That is because nobody knows
the future even a second from now. Isn’t it a little peculiar how it seems to be the human condition that we
procrastinate while making plans and goals to fit our comfortable lives all the while forgetting that we have
no control over life itself? I guess what I am trying to say, and what has been said by many ad nauseum is that we need to live
life in the moment and enjoy everything around us. We need to bask in what this beautiful world has to offer.
More importantly, spend time with friends and family. Tell someone you love them. Give away that extra hug.
There are a lot of things in this world we can do to make it better and it doesn’t cost a dime. Live each day as
if it were your last. That’s for sure.

Good morning WAHLUKE! We are once again going to continue our

These changes were made to hopefully increase staff and community involvement
with teaching Intramural classes as well as increase student participation. Here is
what it is going to look like this year:

My hope with keeping Intramurals within each building is to encourage
staff to be more involved while recruiting your own students. Intramurals is a great
opportunity for staff and community members to share their interests/hobbies
while providing unique opportunities for our students that they may not get in
their regular classes.
If you have any questions please contact myself or your principal. Thank
you for your time and have a great year. GO WAHLUKE!

Be a Jesus Person
By Pastor Alice Warness United Methodist Church Royal City
Some of us can remember back to the 1960’s when America was experiencing counterculture revolutions like crazy.
I was born in 1960 so my memories are a bit fuzzy, but anything I can’t remember, I can read about so I do have a fairly good idea of what went on.
There was everything from “flower power” to drugs to anti-war protests. Young
people had quit going to established churches because they were looking for
something more.
I feel that our young people are experiencing this again. Many of our
youth are leaving the church because it isn’t providing them with what they need.
What that need is, no one is really sure but I think it is a lack of teaching about
Jesus.
Back in the 60’s, this rebellion brought about a movement that was unexpected by the establishment. It brought about the “Jesus Revolution”.
Charles W. Keysor, in his book Our Methodist Heritage says this about the Jesus
movement, “To many of these social out casts of modern America, Jesus became
Savior and Lord. They began living in Jesus communes and seeking to create
“life together: after the New Testament ideal.”
These revolutionaries printed newspaper, tracts, and posters and went to the people with their religion.
Isn’t that what the original disciples were told to do and why do we forget this so
easily?
I believe it is because we become too comfortable in our religion. We go
to church and do the same thing every week and forget that church is all about
worshipping our Lord and Savior.
We forget that we are NOT the audience in church but rather our Lord is.
We are there to worship Him not be entertained.
Yes, church is supposed to bring us God’s message and draw us closer to the
Lord, but it is also a place where we actively show God that we honor Him, adore
him and want to live our lives for Him.
In other words, we need to participate in worship.
In a world that has taught our youth that they should be entertained continually, it
must be hard for them to sit and worship. I believe churches are going to have to
find ways to get young people involved in the worship service if we are going to
keep them.
I personally like to stand and sing and lift my hand to God. I like fastpaced music that is exciting. I like drums and guitars and pianos but I also know
that all people don’t like the same things I do.
We need to find ways to let go of what we want and just get back to the
heart of worship. We need to be like the first disciples and take the word of God
to the people and not worry so much about “the building”.
We need to start another Jesus Revolution that gets everyone excited about getting to know our wonderful Lord and Savior. We need to be a Jesus person.

Successful Vacation Bible School
Program Mattawa/Desert Aire
2016
by Pastor Dennis
Since 1992 our local churches have
helped to sponsor a Vacation Bible School (VBS)
every summer, with the help of a Mission Team
from the Foster-Tukwila Presbyterian Church,
Tukwila WA. The Mission Team generally consists of about 20 high school kids who come
prepared to teach Bible stories, teach lessons for
life and faith, lead songs and music, lead crafts,
and supervise play and games. The Mission Team
works under the supervision of several adult
leaders of the group.
This year there were approximately 150
local children and youth who registered for the
Vacation Bible School during the week of August
8-12. VBS was held in Hund Memorial Park in
Mattawa, Monday through Friday morning. The
hot summer temperatures cooled a bit, with a
few raindrops falling on the opening day.
The Mission team from Tukwila was
housed at the Riverside Community Church in
Desert Aire. The two churches established the
first contact that brought the annual VBS project
into being. The mission is supported by all the
local congregations: through provisions for the
Team (meals and other support), and through
contributions including snacks and refreshments
for the actual VBS sessions.

Get a Healthy Start to
the New School Year with
Vaccinations
By Susan Johnson, Regional Director, US
Department of Health and Human Services,
Region 10
In August, you’ll see back-toschool ads from virtually every store.
These ads will try to convince you that
you need to buy clothes, shoes, computers,
school supplies, sporting equipment, lunch
making materials, cleaning wipes, and a
myriad of other products. Children legitimately need some of these items. Other
items are in the nice to have category. The
average family will spend in excess of
$600 per child for back-to-school items—
and significantly more for college-bound
students, especially when they need to
furnish that freshman dorm room. Backto-school has become the second largest
shopping season in the year.
There is one item that may not
be on your back-to-school list: Immunizations! Immunizations are something every
child and young adult should have before
they head back to school. That may be why
August is National Immunization Awareness Month!
Some of the greatest medical
breakthroughs have been the development
of effective vaccines for illnesses which
have killed or injured hundreds of thousands of people in the past. According to
the CDC, “…among children born during
1994– 2013, vaccination will prevent an
estimated 322 million illnesses, 21 million hospitalizations, and 732,000 deaths
over the course of their lifetimes, at a net
savings of $295 billion in direct costs and
$1.38 trillion in total societal costs.”
In recent years, we’ve looked
eagerly for vaccines for HIV, Hepatitis C,
Ebola, the Zika virus, and other emerging
diseases, just as in the past people looked
for vaccines for polio, measles, mumps,
rubella, and smallpox.
Many of the vaccinations we
receive in this country are for “childhood
illnesses.” Despite the inoffensive title,
these illnesses can be quite serious or even
deadly, especially for the very young, the
elderly, or those with immune systems
compromised by diabetes, cancer, lung
diseases, or other illnesses. Many people
currently live with long term effects of
diseases acquired in childhood—some of
which, like polio—have been largely eradicated thanks to immunizations.
Vaccinations are also important
to protect those who for medical reasons
can’t be immunized. Community Immunity
or “Herd Immunity” helps protect these
individuals by containing the spread of
diseases.
Add this one extra item to that
back-to-school list. Make sure your child
is fully immunized. While you’re at it,
check to see if your immunizations are all
up to date—immunity to many diseases,
such as whooping cough and tetanus—can
dissipate over time, and the flu vaccine is
different each year.
There is good news with this
back-to-school item though—recommended vaccinations are available as a preventive health service through Marketplace
plans, so this won’t add to your back-toschool expenses. Just be sure to follow
your plan’s guidance on where you should
get your vaccinations to be sure the cost is
covered.
The State of Washington provides
excellent resources for parents, including
Vaccine Requirements for Child Care,
Preschool, and School in a variety of
languages, Recommended Immunizations
for Children from Birth through 6 Years
Old and Recommended Immunizations for
Children from 7 through 18 Years Old in
English and Spanish, Vaccine Information
for College Students, Recommended Adult
Immunization Schedule, Plain Talk about
Childhood Immunization, Immunization
Data that allows you to see immunization
rates, and Immunization News and Hot
Topics.
Every child (and parent)
should have a safe and healthy school
year. Immunizations are an easy way to
start out at the head of the class!
Comience el Año Escolar
con sus Vacunas y en Buena
Salud
Por Susan Johnson, Directora Regional,
Departamento de Salud y Servicios
Humanos de EE.UU., Región 10
En Agosto, verá anuncios de
regreso a clases de prácticamente todas
las tiendas. Estos anuncios querrán convencerlo de que necesita comprar ropa,
zapatos, computadoras, útiles escolares,
equipos deportivos, materiales para
hacer el almuerzo, toallitas de limpieza
y un sinfín de productos. Mientras sus
hijos en verdad necesitaran algunos
de estos artículos, otros caen más bien
en la categoría de lujos que no son tan
necesarios. Familias gastarán un promedio de más de $600 dólares por niño
para estos productos de regreso a clases
— y aún más por estudiantes que van
en camino a la Universidad. La temporada de regreso a clases se ha convertido en la segunda temporada de compras
más grande del año.
Hay un artículo que igual y no
esté en su lista de regreso a clases: ¡las
vacunas! La inmunización es algo que
cada niño y joven debe tener antes de
regresar a la escuela. Por esta razón, el
mes de Agosto es el Mes Nacional de
Concientización de Inmunización!
Algunos de los mayores
avances médicos han sido el desarrollo de vacunas eficaces para tratar las
enfermedades que han matado o herido
a cientos de miles de personas en el
pasado. Según el Centro de Control y
Prevención de Enfermedades o la CDC,
"…Entre los niños nacidos en 19942013, vacunación evitará un estimado
de 322 millones de enfermedades, 21
millones de hospitalizaciones y 732,000
muertes a lo largo de su vida, ahorrando
un neto de $295 mil millones en gastos directos y $1.38 trillones en costos
sociales."
En los últimos años, hemos buscado ansiosamente vacunas para tratar el VIH,
Hepatitis C, Ébola, el virus del Zika y
otras enfermedades emergentes, al igual
que en el pasado buscaron las vacunas para la polio, sarampión, paperas,
rubéola y viruela.
Muchas de las vacunas que
recibimos en este país son para tratar
"enfermedades adquiridas durante la
infancia." A pesar del título inofensivo,
estas enfermedades pueden ser muy
graves e incluso mortales, especial-
mente para jóvenes, adultos mayores
o aquellos con un sistema inmunitario
comprometido por diabetes, cáncer,
enfermedades pulmonares u otras enfermedades. Muchas personas actualmente viven con efectos a largo plazo
por causa de enfermedades adquiridas
durante la infancia, algunas de ellas,
como polio, han sido erradicadas en
gran parte gracias a las vacunas.
Las vacunas también son importantes
para proteger a aquellos que por
razones médicas no pueden ser vacunados. La inmunidad comunitaria o "inmunidad colectiva" ayuda a contener la
propagación de enfermedades y protege
a estos individuos.
Añade este elemento adicional a su lista
de regreso a la escuela y asegúrese de
que sus hijos estén completamente vacunados. Y mientras está en eso, compruebe que sus vacunas también estén
a la fecha porque inmunidad a muchas
enfermedades, como la tos ferina y el
tétanos, puede disiparse con el tiempo

ALERT: TEMPORARY
BURN BAN
Grant County Fire Marshals Office
Grant County Courthouse
Ephrata, Washington 98823
Phone: (509) 754-2011 ext 3001
EPHRATA –
The Grant County Board of Commissioners,
(BOCC), today imposed a temporary ban on outdoor
burning effective Wednesday, August 10th at 12:00
p.m. The ban prohibits all outdoor burning until
further notice and will be lifted once conditions
improve. If citizens are caught burning, they could
face fines and other consequences.
This summer Grant County has experienced several
large wildland fires. Even though most of these
fires have not been the result of open burning, the
likelihood of large wildland fires is high. These
fires have been taxing on the local fire department
personnel and equipment, and as a result the
Commissioners have decided to support local
authorities and impose the burn ban.
With the hot, dry, arid conditions, and a
heavy load of dry grass and sage brush throughout
the county, officials are additionally anticipating
new wildfires to ignite. The risks include nighttime
fires which may be ignited by summertime lightning
storms.
• No burning of yard wastes, (tree, shrub and
grass clippings), garbage, ditch banks, building
materials and etc. NO BURN BARRELS
• Agricultural burning allowed when properly
permitted by Ecology.
• Recreational Fires in approved devices at public
campgrounds when allowed by the campground
authority. Recreational fires in private pits or
residences when surrounded by 25 feet of noncombustible material and a charged water line is
present and attended at all times.
• Fires for cooking purposes must be permitted prior
to the event.
• Open flames associated with gas barbeques or
charcoal start-up are allowed in a safe and sane
manner. These devices to be used in an area away
from combustible materials including vegetation and
must be attended at all times.
• If conditions worsen the BOCC may impose
additional measures to prevent fires this summer.
The county burn ban does not change the
burn ban already imposed on all cities in Grant
County. Since 2007, burning bans have been imposed
by the Washington Department of Ecology for all
cities and within Urban Growth Areas. When the
county-wide burn ban is lifted, the Ecology burn bans
for all cities will still be in place.
The county ban does not affect fires at State
or Federal campgrounds in approved devices, (check
for state or federal bans) or agricultural burning
such as the burning of field crop residue and orchard
tear out residue, provided the burning is permitted
and conducted in accordance with the Washington
Department of Ecology. For more information on
agro burning, contact the Department of Ecology at
509-329-3400.
