An Electric City councilmember was admonished by the full
council at a special public hearing last Wednesday night for activities judged to be beyond her
authority.
Reprimanded was Councilmember Birdie Hensley, who became a member of the council for
the second time this last January.
The mayor, John Nordine II,
asked councilmembers Aaron
Derr, Brad Parrish, Lonna Bussert, and Richard McGuire, to vote
to reprimand Hensley in a public
hearing that she had called for.
At issue were inquiries Hensley made of other agencies regarding the use of hotel/motel tourism
promotion funds on projects such
as Electric City’s proposed crosscity pathway. Hensley asked the
Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce
about that city’s trail system project using hotel/motel money. She
also contacted the State Auditor’s
Office about whether Electric
City could use tourism promotion
money to build a trail system.
They all thought the issue of
Hensley acting beyond her authority was settled during discussions at a city retreat in January.
However, Hensley asked for the
matter to be heard in public and
invoked a section of the state’s
Open Public Meetings Act.
The hearing was to give her an
opportunity to talk about the two
issues, which she said she understood, but didn’t fully agree with.
Derr called for a point of order
when the discussion wandered
away from the two issues.
One local resident, Steve Salstrom, asked to be heard on the
matter and was given time to
talk.
He said Hensley had done
more for the city than all the rest
of them put together. He was told
that he needed to stick to the two
issues of the public hearing, and
when he failed to do so, he was
gaveled down.
Bussert made the motion to
admonish Hensley, and the council voted to do so.
Hensley said the request for a
public hearing allowed her to explain to people that council members have restrictions on what
they can do. She explained that
she was trying to get information
that would help her when those
issues came before the council.
At the retreat, the city’s attorney had instructed both the
council and the mayor about what
their unique roles were in city
government.
The council chambers were
full, and there was standing room
only.

Eighteen Lake Roosevelt
students were confronted by
police for painting rocks in the
vicinity of Crown Point. Police
were told that painting the rocks
was a tradition of the senior
class, but the officer explained
that it is illegal to do so. A list of
the students was given to the
principal of the school. Douglas
County officials failed to respond
to the incident. No citations were
issued, but the students’ parents
were advised.

“Rattlesnake Saloon” stand at the rodeo grounds, built just in time for the Colorama Rodeo. The club annually
sponsors a bull ride in the name of her father, Cleatis Lacy. Kohout wanted the L hanging 4 to be the first recorded
in a record book of brands on the new facility. Kohout is encouraging any local ranchers with a brand to apply it to
the siding. — Scott Hunter photo

Why the year mismatch?
by Scott Hunter
Asked why last year’s Colorama Festival was called the
58th, but this year’s is the 60th,
chamber Executive Director Peggy Nevsimal said people found it
confusing that the rodeo, which
started a year earlier, had a different number attached.
Since it is the rodeo’s 60th anni-
versary, the decision was made to
match up the dates of the simultaneous events. Although they are
organized by two different entities
— the Ridge Riders Saddle Club
and the Grand Coulee Dam Area
Chamber of Commerce — the two
events are viewed by most people
as one single local festival that is
almost a holiday: Colorama.
Colville Tribal members go to
the polls Saturday to vote on 28
contenders for positions on the
Colville Business Council. The
primary vote will reduce candidates for each contended office to
two who will face off in the general election in June.
Poll voting will begin at 8 a.m.
Certification of poll voting will
be held at 10 a.m., on May 9. Absentee ballots will be certified
May 12.
Twenty-eight contenders have
filed for seven positions in the
tribal council.
Six of seven incumbents have
filed for re-election.
Councilmember Nancy Johnson, who now holds the Position 2
seat in the Nespelem District, did
not file for re-election.
For that wide-open Nespelem
District Position 2, five candidates
have filed: Charlene E. Bearcub,
Cory Christman, Sheilah Cleveland, Joaquin J. Marchand and
Brian Nissen.
In the Nespelem District Position 1 race, three candidates have
filed for the seat held by incumbent William “Billy” Nicholson
II. They are Amelia AM (Moses)

County officials rally
opposition to plan
by Scott Hunter
County officials discussed with
the Coulee Dam Town Council
Wednesday a plan county commissioners are considering to
house juvenile offenders out of the
county at a privately-run facility
in Medical Lake.
Juvenile Court Administrator
Dennis Rabidou, Superior Court
judges Christopher Culp and
Henry Rawson, and others attended.
Rawson said he does not understand why the county commissioners are even considering
a proposal that will be more expensive and serve the community
more poorly, but he suggested the
town council consider passing a
resolution against it.
Culp suggested taking it even
further and talking to the councilmembers’ counterparts in other
cities. He said he believes there is
unanimous opposition to the idea.
Mayor Greg Wilder said county
commissioners had been invited
to the meeting but declined.
Both judges agreed that such a
move would prove not only costly,
but detrimental to troubled youth
who need local community and
family support, as well as the advantages of programs the county
system has set up to help them.
“Detention is actually a process,” Rabidou said. “The theory of
juvenile justice is rehabilitation.
Get these kids back on track so
they can become productive members of our communities and have
stronger families.”
He said people are surprised to

Port District taking
another look at projects
by Roger S. Lucas
The idea of a trailer park and
residential development along the
Banks Lake Golf Course has surfaced again.
Grant County Port District 7
commissioners raised the topic at
their meeting last week as they
wrestled with how to continue financing the operation of their 18hole golf course.
Both ideas were thought to be
viable projects back in 2012, but
the financial times put an end
to any kind of new development
along the golf course.
None of the present commissioners held office when the two
ideas surfaced previously. Present commissioners are President
James Keene, Jerry Sands and
Gary Haag.
Back in 2012, the district had
spent nearly $125,000 keeping
the golf course open. Since then,
keeping the course open has been
a difficult task, largely with volunteer help including the time of
commissioners.
A feasibility study costing

learn of the programs the county
has in place to help that happen.
But those would be unavailable
to kids housed in Spokane or even
Chelan County.
Bids from those area indicate
the practice would spend more
than $1 million more over four
years on housing costs alone, Rabidou pointed out with charts of a

In the Keller District, Billie Jo Bray and Kelly Jerred are
challenging incumbent Joseph L.

For Inchelium District Position
1, three contenders have filed for
the seat held by incumbent Jim
Boyd, the current chair. Challenging Boyd are Sarah J. Finley,
Douglas J. Seymour and Georgia
Simpson.
Marvin Kheel, incumbent in
Inchelium District position 2, is
being challenged by Larry K. Allen, James Esquivel, Stevey Seymour and Cary L. Rosenbaum Sr.
In the Omak District, Gene
Allen and Darlene Burke are
challenging incumbent Edwin L.
Marchand for the Position 1 seat.

$7,500 determined that there
was space for a 48-space recreation trailer court where the
practice driving range is now
located. When the cost of the infrastructure was determined, the
estimated cost of the project was
$1.75 million.
The Port District then looked
at a smaller project, one costing
$850,000, but that cost was also
more than the commissioners
could afford.
Prior to that, a much more ambitious plan seemed to gain momentum by putting in 70 townhouses on a nine-acre piece of
property known as Quail Run, a
former trailer park.
There again, financial times
ended the discussion.
The 18-hole golf course is within the Electric City boundary due
to an annexation a few years ago;
however, some of the land alongside the fairways lies outside the
city within Grant County.
Keene renewed the discussion
last week. Commissioners are
desperately looking for ways to
make the golf course more viable.

comparison to actual county statistics.
“It’s beyond my comprehension that someone could consider
this,” said Councilmember David
Schmidt.
He said one of his kids had
ended up in juvenile detention for
a month.
“What fixed his path was the
fact that … extended family and
friends were able to come and
support him.”
“If my son, who was drinking
beer at a graduation party, is arrested and he has to ride in shackles with a murderer, this is way
off track.”
The judges noted that, although the commissioners’ have
held three meetings on the subject, they don’t seem to be listening, in their opinion.
The next such meeting is scheduled for May 10, at 6 p.m. in the
county commissioners hearing
room, Culp noted. “I just would
be so impressed if you came and
said, ‘I’ve driven here from Coulee
Dam because I care,’” Culp said to
those attending the council meeting.
“We need to start discussions,
both with the city of Electric City
and Grant County on how we
might design some projects that
will improve the financial status
of the golf course,” Keene stated.
Last year, the course was run
primarily by volunteers, and this
year it is even more so. Keene and
his wife were staffing the clubhouse on Saturday. Commissioners have regular work schedules
to help but they don’t think that
is viable for long-range operation
of the course.
Commissioners still think that
one or both of the projects might
attract an investor.
Hearing in
theft case
delayed
by Roger S. Lucas
An ombudsman hearing to review evidence in the case of a former Grant County Mosquito District 2 clerk, previously scheduled
for Tuesday, April 26, has been
re-scheduled to June 21, the prosecutor’s office reported.
The clerk, Karyn M. Byam,
40, an Electric City resident, has
been charged with theft and misappropriation of funds, totaling
$129,834.
The case came to attention of
county authorities after a Washington State Auditor’s Office report highlighted problems.
Deputy Prosecutor Mark A.
Laiminger said last Tuesday the
delay was to afford prosecutors
time to interview witnesses. He
stated that the number of documents forced the delay.
Laiminger said that a trial
date has been set for July 20, in
Grant County Superior Court.
Blues festival coming right up
by Roger S. Lucas
It will soon be toe-tapping
time at Sunbanks Lake Resort.
It’s nearly Rhythm & Blues
Festival time at the resort on the
shores of Banks Lake in Electric
City.
The festival is scheduled for
May 19-22.
Sunbanks has won the state
Blues award for the past two
years running and this year attracts bands and musicians from
all over the country.
Headlining the four-day event
is James Harman’s Bamboo Porch
Revue. The Delgado Brothers are
back and Hamilton Loomis, Casey
Miller & the Barnyard Stompers,
Matt Andersen & the Bona Fide,
Karen Lovely Band, Ken DeRouchie Band, Selwyn Birchwood,
Twang Junkies with Bob Hill, and
Billy Stoops and the Dirt Angels
are all scheduled to make appearances during the festival.
Other bands and performers
include Acoustic Noise, James
Coates, Shoot Jake, Forest Beutel,
Adam Hendricks, Franco & the
Stingers, Stacy Jones Band, Trevalyan Triangle, Sara Brown Band
and the Vaughn Jensen Band fill
out the list.
Harmon hails out of Anniston,
Alabama and started performing
in 1962. He has performed in 28
countries and has built up a massive song catalog.
Another headliner, Hamilton
Loomis, is out of Texas and performs all over the country.
School board
OKs trips
The Grand Coulee Dam School
District board approved two student trips at its meeting April 25,
and put a hold on another.
The board approved a trip by
three students and advisors to
“Imagine Tomorrow,” a science
event at Washington State University at Pullman. The students
will present a biofuel education
project. The event is scheduled for
May 20-22.
Eleven students and two advisors were approved to take part
in a project at Silverwood Theme
Park, in Athol, Idaho. The project challenges students to apply
physics principles to park rides.
That trip is scheduled for May 18.
This year’s senior trip was held
up by the board for lack of finished paperwork.
The board had approved the
trip back in January, subject to
the board getting the finished
paperwork. The trip was on the
agenda but held up because of the
paperwork not being completed.
The senior trip this year is
scheduled for May 29-31, to California. The seniors plan to take a
bus to Spokane where they will
catch a flight to San Jose. They
will spend part of a day at a
theme park there and then go by
bus to San Francisco for a variety
of experiences, including a stop at
Alcatraz Island.
The board will still have to approve the finished paperwork.

A fine semantic
line was crossed
There is no disputing that any organization has
a right to control who speaks for it, but that doesn’t
translate into a right to censor speech.
Birdie Hensley was officially admonished by her
colleagues on the Electric City Council last week for
doing her own research on questions she has about
the city’s direction. It seems that she is free to research on behalf of herself as a city councilmember,
but not on behalf of the city council. … Got that?
That comes pretty close to being a hair split by
semantics.
It’s probably not couth for members of Congress
to call on foreign heads of state, claiming to represent the President. But if they ask for information
from their own government, remain unsatisfied with
the answers and seek them elsewhere, would they
be wrong?
Hensley had questions about the city’s decided use
of funds, supposedly dedicated to boosting the tourism industry, for building a new pathway through
town. She sought answers from outside agencies
and apparently didn’t clearly draw the distinction
between representing the city and asking on behalf
of a city council person, herself.
With that kind of requirement for legal language
wrangling, it wouldn’t be surprising if the city council decided to ask the city attorney what the definition of “is” is.

Letters from Our Readers
Readers appreciate Utz’s column
I just wanted The Star to know
how much we appreciate Jesse
Utz’s column “Jess, Shut Up.” My
wife and I have been subscribers
of The Star since we moved here
in 1999. It is refreshing to see a
paper where Christianity is not
maligned, as in most newspapers
today.
We have known Jesse and Karrie since we came to the Coulee,
and I can vouch for both of them
as to their walk, always the first
to volunteer to help in whichever
way they are able to help.
Thanks, Jesse.

Commissioners follow questionable agenda, priorities
I left the commissioners’ public meeting with members of the
“Quad Counties” (Okanogan,
Pend Oreille, Ferry, and Stevens)
on April 29th, astounded at Okanogan commissioners’ priorities for
our tax dollars.
Did you know that commissioners DeTro and Campbell, who
have taken the lead in criticisms
of agency fire procedures, will not
attend the May 26, 2016 Central Washington Large Fire PreSeason Meeting at the Okanogan
Agriplex — unless they are proficient at “out-of-body” travel?
That’s because on this date
they have a higher purpose for
our money than coordinating with
other leaders in training for response to wildfires and disasters
before the upcoming fire season.
Instead, they will fulfill De-
Tro’s promises (Facebook, 2/6/16;
Chronicle, 5/27/14) attending a
conference at Snow King Resort
in Wyoming to lobby for an investigation into the “assassination” of
Lavoy Finicum at Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. As
of March 16, county records show
$1,457 pre-paid toward their attendance. An additional purpose
is now added: they will lobby representatives of 15 western states
to support transfer of publicly
owned federal land to the states
or counties.
Following a presentation by
an American Stewards of Liberty
representative, the reasoned and
logical statements of Sheriff Rogers fortunately redirected a trend
toward apparently hysterical
thinking.
Recent Public Disclosure Act
requests by citizens reveal:
* As of March 16, our county had spent a minimum of
$21,382.68 in memberships, fees,
and travel since 2013 to conventions and workshops supporting
actions of Fred Kelly Grant, Ken
Ivory, and their various affiliated
organizations on these “coordination”/ownership issues.
* In 2014, County Resolution
# 28-2014 directed staff to develop a budget for “coordination” in
land use issues and to hold public hearings on the related issues.
Neither occurred, but we continue
to pay.
I object to this use of tax dollars.

Questioning our forestry practices —
native ethics vs. tribal drive
Human beings and nature exist on the same moral plane. An
eco-centric world view, should be
regarded as a precondition for an
aesthetic and ethical appreciation
and love of our (yours and mine)
environment. Self-determination
is a foundational principle in the
world’s eye. American education
is the total laziness towards taking into consideration anything,
or anyone, besides yourself. Law
and forestry are good examples.
In law, the historical construct
of our country through Manifest
Destiny is mismatched so that
cultural relationship held by any
other race or gender remains
discounted. Forestry takes into
account only that information
needed to grow a tree as fast as
possible, nothing more. Design in
isolation, impose that design onto
something like the membrane on
which life proliferates. The new
design is actually invisible. The
cost comes in our oxygen, solar
energy, self-replication. I have
empathy for the oppressed, thus
I am closely linked to ecology. In
human relations, race, and gender can be oppressed. In my life
experiences I have witnessed between races and nations the ethical principles of the non-natives’
imperialist drive to exploit, and
the absence of an essential ingredient — ecology.
Ecology … forests, rivers, lakes
and streams, springs — they
have no legal rights, and they are
looked at as property. The sub-
system equals Economy, but it’s
geared for growth; as it grows it
displaces on the biosphere. Seventeen trillion dollars is what all
the industries made in one year,
for example; 32 trillion dollars is
what the system of nature brought
in for a year. So, you can see that
the system of nature hugely out
performs industry. Why is it valued so little? The crisis is money:
where is the money going? Government is where the failure is; it
has fallen into disrepair.
We, the tribes, have forested
land that can no longer provide
a forest after we applied our forestry applications to the land.
What is that going to become?
What will take up the water those
trees did, how will the removal of
trees affect the behavior of water?
Water rushing downstream, hurting communities, as we recently
experienced with the failure of
Omak Lake Road, Wannacut
Creek flooding affecting Omak
homes, the SanPoil River destroying Silver Creek Road by Alice
Flats, making transportation difficult and dangerous.
We should remember the power language has. Recall, if you
will, language of treaties or presidential proclamations: as long as
the Sun shines, and the Rivers
Flow…. Harmony between people
and nature. Beyond just being
geared for growth, we hold the responsibility to future generations
to correct the actions of a corporate few who make the decisions
that trump the majority.
The ethical principles of the
native people of the Colville
Tribes are up against the imperialist drive to maintain not one,
but now two timber mills after
the most destructive fire ever on
the Colville reservation. There
has been the rush to salvage log
our North Star and Tunk Block
burned areas (12 homes lost).
The total amount of the tribes’
commercial timber lost equals
802 million board feet, worth $96
million, created by industry, not
nature. If nature was valued, the
output would dwarf $96 million.
“What good does it do to leave a
tree standing in the woods?” asks
Colville Business Council Natural Resource Committee Chair
Joe Somday.
Our stories are maps larger
than can be held. That is how
knowledge is passed on from one
generation to the next. Self-determination is our right, you and I,
not that of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs’ silviculturist, nor the
Colville Business Council. You
and I are the ones who choose.
It is you and I who hold that responsibility — to ourselves, and
one another and, most of all, to
those yet to come. They are not
disposable humanity. Let us come
to know what nature already
knows, that knowledge told on a
scale larger than can be held by
our hands.
Lois M. Trevino
Seniors, are you ready for the next step?
This is the time of year when a small group of
people in our community start to panic. A whirlwind
of activity surrounds them, with every day being
one step closer to that goal they have coveted for
the last 13 years: graduation.
The senior class of 2016 at Lake Roosevelt is no
exception. Papers, projects and deadlines are consuming them as we speak, all
hinging a wager on whether they
get that little piece of paper that
signifies the first step in adulthood. But if we are to be honest,
the learning of life lessons is just
about to start and, although we
adults know that some will have
to learn the hard way, others
Jesse Utz
hopefully are fully equipped to
tackle the challenges ahead.
It would be hard to write
about this senior class without
mentioning some of them by
name. You see, this class, maybe
more than any other, has personally meant something to me. There are members of
the class of 2016 who have taught me a few things.
We have shared laughs and heartache together. We
have grown together and cheered accomplishments
on the field and in the classroom.
Lachelle Bearcub jumps out at me first. A true
competitor, leader and role model for her class, I
have seen her more than once lend a shoulder to cry
on. She knows what it is like to hurt and conquer
that pain. She is always smiling, although we know
she cannot be happy all the time. She has inspired
me to always be willing to help a fellow student or
human. Whereever she ends up in the world, that
part of the world will be a better place.
Devan Black is also one of those kids I will miss.
His smile is contagious and his quick wit is something that even his brother would be proud of. Devan is one of the hardest, most dedicated workers I
know. He seems to know exactly what it takes to get
Jess,
shut up!
to where he wants to be and he seizes it. All year
long, throwing a baseball just to get a little better,
or putting in the extra time on a paper just to get a
small percentage more on the score. Dedication to
himself — that’s a big deal.
Kaylie Duclos, a young lady who did not reveal
much of herself until this year, and out came an
outstanding, huge hearted, lady
with great potential for the future. I got to see her work with
some younger kids and saw a
passion for helping those who
are struggling. She made connections with young ones and
made a difference in their lives.
She has matured into a world
changer, and I can’t wait to see
what she does next.
Then there’s Arielle White.
The whole community always
knew that this girl was going to
do something big, and she will.
She has drive, will and unending spirit that will carry her to the highest peaks of
success, if that is where she chooses to go. She has
already conquered so much in her life, but I get the
feeling that with her, that is only the beginning.
Chance Garvin will have a place in my heart for
a long time. Not just for his success on the football
field and basketball court, but for his desire to be a
role model for future generations. He is kinda like
a “rock star” for the younger athletes around here,
and he has not let it go to his head. He has a great
personality and seems to genuinely want to be your
friend. The big thing that stands out for me is that
he is always willing to hear advice in the face of
adversity. That is a major thing for a young man to
have as he is about to go face the world head on.
This is just a snapshot of the senior class of 2016.
You can see why I am going to miss them. But one
column is just not enough for these “big dogs.” I will
write about some others next week.

Arbor Day Foundation
offers tree-care booklet
The Arbor Day Foundation is
offering a handy tree-care booklet
designed to help people plant and
care for trees.
Anyone can receive Conservation Trees, a user-friendly booklet
featuring illustrations, colorful
photos, and easily understood
descriptions, by making a $3 donation to the Foundation this
month.
“Conservation Trees is an ideal
resource for tree planters,” said
Matt Harris, chief executive of
the Arbor Day Foundation. “Taking care of existing trees is just as
critical as planting new ones, and
proper care ensures communities
are able to fully enjoy the diverse
benefits of urban forestry.”
The booklet provides details
about the right way to plant and
prune trees. It also includes tips
on using shade trees and wind-
breaks to save on energy costs,
attract songbirds, and create a
living snow fence.
To receive the Conservation
Trees booklet, send a $3 check
along with your name and address to Conservation Trees, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor
Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410,
or order online at arborday.org/

Raider Tennis competed in
three matches last week and
continued to improve to get
ready for the postseason.
Against Liberty Bell April 26,
the Raider boys won their match
3-2, and it wasn’t easy for either
team.
A doubles match of John
Drapela and Jordan Charles
against the duo of Frey and
Schultz lasted for two hours
and included a tiebreaker, which
means playing to a score of seven
with a two-point advantage. Although LR had several chances
to gain that advantage, but Liberty Bell found it, finally breaking the tie at 14-12. The next set
was knotted up again at 4-4 and
tagging Drapela and Charles as
contenders in postseason.
“This match sets them up for
competing at the league tournament on May 13-14 in Omak,”
Raider Head Coach Steve Archer
said.
At home April 28, the Raider
boys continued to win, defeating
the Pateros Billygoats.
On the girls side, Archer
changed the lineup to put his top
two players together.
“We put Tanya Ang and Rylee
Pitner … in at doubles,” he
said. “This will give them some
match experience in preparation
for postseason play.”
He said Ang and Pitner “feed
off of each other’s enthusiasm,
which is a good thing.”
In the last match of the week,
at home against White Swan,
the Raider boys finished a threematch sweep of the week. The
Raider girls continued to strug-

at Greene Field April 26 12-2 and
10-0. On Saturday, the Raiders
spoiled the Manson Trojans senior night by soundly trouncing
them 11-1 and 12-1.
With the wins, LR is now in

April 26, when the Nannies did
not put up much of a fight in the
first game, which ended 16-1 for
LR. But the Nannies’ bats came
alive in the second game, and the
Lady Raiders had to play hard to
keep the 11-9 win.
In Manson Saturday, the Lady
Trojans were handily defeated in
LR’s best offensive performance
Hear
in over a month. The Lady Raiders won the double header 25-2,
and 16-5.
With LR ending its season earlier than other league schools,
they will have extra practice time
for districts. It means they will
have to wait and see where they
finish in the standings and seeding for the district tournament.
Tigers, whom they were scheduled to play last night in Tonasket
after deadline.
If LR got swept by the Tigers
then they are out of the district
tournament as the final seed will
be determined by a single-elimination game between Lyle-Wishram/Klickitat and Soap Lake tomorrow.
But the Raiders and the Tigers split the doubleheader last
night, a tiebreaker game would be
played tomorrow to determine the
number-four seed to the district
tournament starting on Saturday.
In the first round of the district tournament in Moses Lake
at the Paul Lauzier complex, the
Raiders in the number-four seed
from the North would be playing
the number-one from the South,
the Warden Cougars, at 1 p.m.
Warden has had a lot of success
in league, but have struggled
against 1A opponents. If LR defeated the Cougars, they would
play again at 5 p.m. against the
winner of the Okanogan/Waterville-Mansfield game.
If the Raiders then lost to Warden, they would take on the loser
of the same Okanogan/WatervilleMansfield game at 5 p.m.
More sports page 8
If the standings remain as
they are, the Raiders could be the
number-four seed from the North
on the 14th, playing at 1 p.m. in
Ephrata against the undefeated
Warden Cougars. A win or loss
against the Cougars would have
the Lady Raiders playing against
either Okanogan or the South’s
number-four team at 5 p.m.

Golf tunes up at Alta Lake
Raider Golf travelled to Alta Lake Golf Course
outside of Pateros April 26 for a match against Moses Lake Christian and Okanogan.
In team scores, LR defeated the Okanogan boys
by over 30 strokes, but MLCA won the day by 67
strokes under the Raiders.
Head Coach Steve Files was happy with the day.
“We had a very competitive match in ideal conditions,” he said.
Leading the Raiders were Lucas Bird and
Jazmine Reed.
“Lucas Bird shot his best round of the season and
is coming on strong,” Files said, adding, “Jazmine
Reed has been very focused out there, competing
with the top girls in our league every week.”
Looking ahead to the district match, also at Alta
Lake, Files said, “It’s a challenging layout, with lots
of elevation changes, so this match was an impor-
tant tune-up for players hoping to qualify for state.”
Today, the Raiders took on Okanogan at Lake
Wood Golf Course in Bridgeport starting at 2:30 p.m.
