Tempers flare at Chamber meeting
| The Cashmere Chamber of Commerce might be homeless if they can't find an office space by September 1, after a heated discussion over the resignation of Chamber of Commerce Manager Sara Urdahl got ugly.
A topic that was not expected to be discussed until September 21 will have to be made quickly now, on whether or not to move the chamber office. Space is open at the museum but the space is not as visible as Chamber President Patti Davis would like, so she stated at the meeting.

Swenson died of hypertensive heart disease, according to the Chelan County Coroner Wayne Harris.
"Based on where he was, he was still at the base going up the mountain, not going down, we think he died the day he left for his trip," Harris said. "It's hard to pin-point but we looked at a few of the pictures on his camera and we think he was just starting out on his trip."

| | School District grapples with budget cuts | Kids aren't likely to notice or feel the cutbacks when they return to the Cashmere School District in September. But money will be tight and JV and C squad coaches will not be hired until a later date, dependent on numbers for the program. That was the point made clear last week, as the Cashmere School District mapped out their possible budget cuts with Business Manager Douglas Poole on hand.
"Will the kids know in September when they show up that we did anything to the budget? We truly believe that kids are going to have a heck of a time noticing what's gone on in this budget," Poole said.

| | Daily Joy Tea House now open | About three years ago, Ginger McGrath, a 10-year upper valley resident, started thinking about a tea house in Leavenworth. After visiting several tea houses with her friends and family along the coast, she realized a tea house would benefit the community as well as the tourists. Thus, the Daily Joy Tea House was conceived.
Ginger's dream for the Daily Joy Tea House is for guests to enjoy the charm of the 100-year-old Wedding Haus while enjoying extraordinary loose-leaf teas and fresh baked scones, along with lunch and desserts. Seating is intimate indoors, or outside in the lush shade garden. And there's a private room for consultations or group meetings.

Mountain Meadows Assisted Living recently completed their annual inspection by the Department of Social and Health Services, Aging and Disability Services Division. The facility inspection was done by a registered nurse and licensed dietician hired by the Department. Each year, an unannounced inspection is completed to assure the residents are receiving appropriate care and the facility is in compliance with State and Federal regulations. The inspection process includes observation of resident care and facility environment with emphasis on nursing, dietary standards, employee records, safety and infection control. Upon completion of the inspection, Mountain Meadows was notified they were in full compliance and no deficiencies were found. Nate Oglesby, administrator, was very pleased. He stated, "This is the second year in a row that we were found deficiency free." He attributes the success to a dedicated team, community support, and above all, very content and happy residents.
