Fresh News From MarDon: Fishing without waiting
MARDON RESORT - Why wait for the April 1 opener when limits are being caught right now. As recently as yesterday limits of nice rainbows have been coming out of the Seep Lakes. The weather in late February & early March always seems to be irregular but the trout fishing this time of year can be excellent. This spring a number of the year-round Seep Lakes have been kicking out quality trout, most notably Upper Goose, Blythe and Corral Lakes. Goose has been the hands-down best producer with relatively quick limits in the 14- to 16-inch range. Blythe and Corral have been producing occasional limits with some really nice 18-inch fish mixed in, some running in the 5- and 6-pound range. All three of these bodies of water have easy access and adequate boat ramps. The best technique has been still fishing with bait.

The Lions scored the first six points of the ball game as the Phoenix looked tight as the team missed their first four shots. Eric Curtiss got CBSS on the board with a left handed shot to close the gap to 6-2. But MLCA went on a 16-8 run to finish out the quarter up 22-10. Neither team scored in the first two minutes of the second quarter of play until Michale Northup sank a shot from behind the arc for CBSS to narrow the gap to 22-13. A myriad of mental mistakes and fouls put the Phoenix deeper in the hole as the Lions raced out to a 44-20 half time lead. It did help matters much when point guard Allan Curtiss fouled out of the game with 43 second to play before the break for CBSS.

Gayle Goodwin
Gayle Goodwin, 75, of East Wenatchee, passed away surrounded by family and her loving caregivers on January 31, 2012, due to advanced Alzheimer's Dementia. Gayle was born April 14, 1935, to E. Ray and Dorothy Ulbrickson in Bellevue, WA. In 1953, she graduated from Bellevue High School. Gayle always loved horses, especially her horse, Lindy, and rode in the Bridle Trails Park near her home. Gayle was a very accomplished equestrian, riding English and Western. She married Don Garneau on December 16, 1953. They moved to Anchorage, AK, where Don was stationed in the Army. They moved to Moses Lake in 1955, to farm with Don's parents. Gayle enjoyed the farm life and raised her family riding and showing horses, as she had done growing up. She was one of the founding members of the Mid-State Horse Show in Moses Lake and continued to volunteer for many years. In 1967, Gayle lost Don in an automobile accident. With five children to raise, she showed strength and courage and worked at Skeen's Western Wear and drove school bus for the Moses Lake School District. On March 27, 1970, Gayle married Robert "Bob" Goodwin. She enjoyed working with Bob while he continued his Veterinary practice. She and Bob were very active in the horse racing industry, raising and racing their own thoroughbreds. Gayle would haul race horses to the different tracks, once as far as Yakima to Regina, Canada, with four horses by herself. Together, after Bob's retirement, they planted an apple orchard on their farm in Mae Valley and continued to operate it until 1992. Bob and Gayle also enjoyed spending time at their cabin in Wauconda and drove to Alaska with their camp trailer and dog, Zeke. Bob preceded her in death in 1997. Gayle enjoyed her garden, sewing, cooking, riding horses and long walks with her dog, Zeke.
