Kids’ thoughts on school
uniforms presented
by Roger S. Lucas
Carrie Derr’s sixth grade class let the
school board know how they felt about school
uniforms Monday night.
The school board has discussed pursuing school uniforms for next fall to begin the
2016-17 school year.
A special committee will be formed to work
on the project. Earlier this year, administrators reported to the board that an unofficial
poll of teachers indicated the majority were in
favor of the idea.
The school uniform plan, if initiated, would
involve all grades and even the staff, according to preliminary comments made at board
meetings this year.
The sixth graders’ letters were part of a
class project so students could learn how to
write a formal letter, as well as develop an argument with relevant evidence.
Here are some of the ideas in the letters:
• We should not have school uniforms be-
cause they cost too much…and they don’t
express who you really are. Nobody likes to
wear the same thing over and over again. It
will waste all of your detergent.
• You wouldn’t be able to show off your personality and you would have to wash it every
day and that would be hard on your washing
machine. What if you had 8 kids and uniforms
would likely cost $50.
• I think we should have uniforms, it would
make a better school, and the school would be
more efficient, plus it would be less expensive.
• A lot of kids I know don’t want to have
uniforms because we would all look alike.
This is the weirdest idea this school has ever
made.
• No one sells uniforms here and people
can’t afford uniforms because they are busy
paying bills, taxes and buying food for the
family. So I rest my case on how uniforms in
this school would not be…good.
• Uniforms are hard to get: they would
take away our choice…now let’s get down to
the real stuff, they would be a hassle.
• We shouldn’t have uniforms because it
would be a hassle to wash every night, take
away choice, and be too expensive.
• Uniforms would take away our personality. We would never get to wear the clothes
we want to wear. Our parents would have to
spend money for gas to go get the uniforms. If
you are reading this letter then pay attention
to me.
• Would you wear the same thing for six
hours a day, five days a week, four weeks a
month and nine months a year?
• How would you feel if they made you
wear uniforms? Why should we have to spend
our money on stuff that we don’t want.
• I think we should have school uniforms
because it would reduce gang-related activities. With uniforms there would be no inappropriate clothing at school.
• We should wear what we want to wear. I
don’t want to dress like everybody else; I want
to be myself.

An effort to get talks going on
consolidating two local cities may
be in jeopardy.
A decision Feb. 10, by Electric
City’s council, to move forward in
support of an independent study,
was not a formal vote, according
to City Clerk Jackie Perman.
At the city council meeting on
that date, a motion was made
and seconded to move forward
with providing up to $15,000 for a
study by consultant SCJ Alliance,
facilitated by the local chamber of
commerce. The council was asked
for a show of hands to show who
was in favor of the idea. A majority of the council raised their
hands, as did most people in the
audience.
Perman says that wasn’t a formal vote, and that nothing has
been put in the 2016 budget for a
consolidation study. Formal votes
at Electric City are taken when
the mayor asks each individual
council member how he or she
feels on an issue.
Former mayor Jerry Sands,
who presided at the meeting, remembered the vote differently.
“We passed it, but I don’t know if
it was at a subsequent meeting or
not,” he said. “If there’s confusion,
the council can always ask for a
budget amendment and move for-

Coulee Dam’s Town Hall was once the administration building for the Grand Coulee Dam Project, and will be the

by Roger S. Lucas
A state official will give a public talk in Coulee
Dam next week, where he will also speak with town
officials about the possibility of designating parts of
town as a historical site.
Michael Houser, from the State Department of
Archaeology and Historic Preservation, will speak
at a Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce
luncheon at the town hall Dec. 10. The event is open
to the public. The price for the catered lunch will be
$10; and those wishing to attend the Thursday lunch
must call the chamber at 633-3074 by Wednesday,

ward with it.”
Councilmember Lonna Bussert
said she thought the issue had
passed. “That’s why I have asked
for our meetings to be recorded,”
she said.
The Grand Coulee Dam Area
Chamber of Commerce had asked
Electric City to finance up to half
of the $30,000 proposed study by
SCJ Alliance, a Wenatchee firm,
and then had asked Grand Coulee
to finance the other half.
Grand Coulee City Clerk Carol
Boyce said Monday that she has
put $10,000 in the 2016 budget to
help with the study.
The Grand Coulee City Council worked on the budget Tuesday
night but delayed taking a vote on
it until Dec. 15, the council’s next
scheduled meeting. The consolidation contribution in the budget
was not discussed.
Chamber of Commerce’s Peggy
Nevsimal had told both city councils that chamber members were
prepared to help with certain
parts of the study to reduce the
cost.
The study, if it moves forward,
will provide information on how
the communities of Electric City
and Grand Coulee might consolidate and how much support there
is for consolidation by residents of
the two cities.
Riverview Lanes has set Tuesday, Dec. 8, as its opening date.
New owner Scott Elmore said
Monday that he still had some
minor mechanical problems to
iron out before the lanes would be
ready.
He had earlier scheduled the
opening date for Dec. 1.
Elmore, along with former
lanes owner Pat Zlateff, has been
reconditioning the mechanics of
the eight-lane operation for several weeks.
A couple of mechanical problems cropped up over the weekend, forcing Elmore to delay the
opening.
He has been working with the
town to finalize a new lease on
the property.
At Monday night’s town council meeting, the council oked a
temporary lease so Elmore could
get the lanes opened up.
“The council and Elmore just
need to work out the numbers,”
Town Clerk Stefani Bowden said.
“The council is anxious for the
bowling alley to get opened.”
Elmore hopes to get some
league activities going as soon as
he can get open.
Zlateff said Monday that he
plans to help out for a few weeks
after the lanes open.
Elmore comes from the west
side of the state, where he has
been involved in a manufacturing
company.
“One of the first jobs I had was
working in a bowling alley, and I
have always wanted to own one,”
he said.
The bowling alley has been
closed since August when the former operator closed the facility.
The building that houses the
bowling alley is owned by the
town of Coulee Dam. The building is also occupied by the Melody
Restaurant.

Coulee Dam could have a new police chief sometime in December.
Town officials were busy Monday, interviewing the top three candidates provided by the Civil Service Commission, which narrowed the
list of candidates down from 10 who applied for the position.
Civil Service Commission member Herb Sherburne stated last week
that all applicants were from Eastern Washington.
Town Mayor Greg Wilder said he had planned to complete the interviews of the three on Monday and then would wait until all the
background checks were made before making a decision.
The new chief will replace Pat Collins, who resigned in late September after serving the town for 26 years.

Letters from Our Readers
Shame on “What’s in it for me?” whiners
Thank you for your thoughtful,
insightful editorial (“Seeking the
fair tale land of no taxes” 11/18).
Not surprised you drew fire from
the “Greed is Good” crowd.
“How much is enough?” your
critics ask. (Or, “What’s in it for
me?”) Because if we give more, we
should get something more in return. Right?
The answer to “How much is
enough?” is all that we see around
us and anything more that we
dare to imagine. A few generations ago, who could have foreseen “indoor plumbing” and germfree water flowing in every home?
(Remember when we had to help
our sick to an outhouse when at
our bodies’ weakest imaginable
state?) Who could have foreseen
high-speed highways to bring
fresh meat, produce, and dairy
to a local grocer? Who could have
foreseen that family members,
a thousand miles away, could be
physically joined in just hours?
Who could have foreseen that an
average family could retire without living in poverty? And who
could have foreseen dramatic decreases in infant mortality and
increases in survival from serious
diseases that, without investment
in infrastructure, would have
never evolved? And, clean air, rivers, electricity ...
“How much is enough?” Let’s
just say, “It ain’t over until it’s
over.” And many of us say, “It ain’t
over until we’ve ended war, hunger, and extreme poverty.”
As for “... we don’t trust the
government with any more of
our money,” let’s remember that
all the while, as we modernized
and improved America for each
of its citizens, there were whiners, complaining that our government should not be trusted. To
you whiners, I say shame, Shame,
SHAME on you and your “What’s
Taxes are excessive
Great response from Mr. Cathcart. I appreciate your letter
“Wanting to pay less to government is no fairy tale, 11/25” and
agree with you. We are taxed ex-
cessively (those who pay taxes)
and there is little to no accountability from our officials. We do
need much less government and
they need to do the right thing
in it for me,” as if our defenders of
the past died just for your personal needs. Let’s also not forget that
all that was done was not done
with an open checkbook. It was
done with responsible budgeting.
Government is our glue. If we
look for weakness, we can find
and fix. If we simply whine as
we wait for others to fix it, it may
not get done. That’s what is scary
about today’s political climate. I
hope we can together, in the 2016
election cycle, take a close look at
our candidates and support only
honest, responsible candidates
who are not accepting contributions from rich corporations and
individuals. I’m voting for Joe Pakootas — a fiscal conservative in
touch with reality and not owned
by contributors.

A government we can trust
Abraham Lincoln spoke of a “government of the people, by the
people,for the people.” You and I
are the government, even as we
are “ordinary Americans.”
Perhaps then, if this high
number of American citizens do
not trust the government, either
these same citizens do not trust
themselves or are unable or unwilling to take their place at the
table of their own government.

own towns, in your own counties,
there are boards, commissions,
and other positions needing to
be filled by any citizen called to

government? According to a recent Pew Research Center poll,
81 percent say sometimes or never. Yet we American citizens state
we want the government to act in
their behalf and provide services
we want and need. In the same
poll, 55 percent of us stated “ordinary Americans” would do a better job of solving problems.
Who and what is the government? The preamble to the Constitution of the United States of
America reads that the government is “We the People of the
United States, in order to form
a more perfect Union….” In his
Gettysburg address, President

Step forward to serve your town
on any area of your interest or

decision makers of your concerns
in a thoughtful and respectful
manner, and remember to thank

Thanks for support, but venture won’t go forward
We would like to thank everyone for the interest you have
shown regarding the potential
purchase of the Center School
by the North American Wool Coop. We are members of the co-op
and we were working together to
assess the feasibility of the purchase. We are sorry to say it is not
feasible for the co-op or us to go
forward with the purchase. The
building offers so much potential
and risk! I wish we had deeper
pockets to make it work. Just not
so!
We would like to thank the
following: Dennis Carlson and
Debbie Starkey for taking their
time to show us the building and
encouraging us to pursue the potentials. Grand Coulee City Council and planning board were more
than gracious to give us time to
review the possibilities and give
input on the zoning issues. Roger

potentials we were considering. Mervin & Mary Jo

Our public health district needs help
Attention all health care professionals! Ranked 37th out of
39 Washington state counties in
public health, according to a respected study, Okanogan County
remains in critical need of a secure public health system. Yet
our county commissioners have
repeatedly cut the public health
budget in recent years.
A new Board of Health will
begin its term on December 8.
The new Board of Health members, who were appointed by the
Board of County Commissioners,
are Steve Varrelman, a licensed
installer of septic systems from
Pateros; Larry Zimmerland, of
Winthrop, who designs onsite septic systems and community water
systems; and Mariann Williams,
a family nurse practitioner in
Oroville. The four existing board
members are the three county
commissioners and Oroville City
Councilmember Neysa Roley.
Clearly, the apparent lack of public health expertise among most of
the board members is a concern.
I am calling on all health care
providers and administrators in
Okanogan County to take an active interest in the struggle to
keep our Public Health District vi-
able. We, as healthcare professionals, need to advocate for promoting health and preventing disease
in Okanogan County. Therefore,
please attend the Board of Health
meeting on Dec. 8, at 1 p.m. at the
County Health Department. This
is an opportunity to meet all the
board members and ask each one
the question, “How do you propose
to maintain, strengthen and fund
our Public Health District?”
Goodbye to the good,
bad and ugly
No, I am not going anywhere. But sometimes
the dreams we build up get temporarily postponed.
Now, the title is about goodbyes and I am not going
to elaborate on who is the good or the bad, or even
the ugly; you can figure that out for yourselves.
Goodbyes are difficult, no matter who you are.
Well, I take that back. Sometimes they might be
good, depending on who you are saying goodbye to. I
will leave that one to interpretation as well.
My wife and I now live back in
the Coulee. We said goodbye to
the ranch lifestyle, not entirely
by choice, but we are happy to be
back in town. We sadly said goodbye to the awesome views, the
Jesse Utz
deer and the other wildlife. We
bade farewell to the large house
and said hello to the smaller one.
We will miss the drive and the
talks we had on the road. We said
goodbye to the stairs. Whew, a lot
of stairs, now in the past. We said
goodbye to the extra “stuff” that is now going into
storage. We had a big dream when we moved into
this home, and now it is temporarily put on hold.
The framework remains and so does the desire. A
three-strand cord is not easily broken. In the Lord’s
time, the dream will be reawakened.
We also said goodbye to a very good friend. Jay
Arnold is off to New York to go to culinary school. He
will be missed, not just by our family, but by many
many of you. We cannot wait for the two years to be
over and for his return to our kitchens to whip us up
something yummy to eat. The last few weeks have
been cherished time spent with a great friend who
is off to conquer an adventure of his own. So proud
of Jay. Yes, he will be missed. They say sometimes
you don’t know what you had till it’s gone. We are
Jess,
shut up!
just starting to feel the impact of his absence. Miss
you, Jay.
The Coulee area lost some icons of the area over
the past few weeks. Jack Hilson, Ray Green and
Warren Byam were important members of the community who left a lasting legacy among us. I am a
young buck and don’t have a clue of what all they
did for the area, but I know their names are mentioned a lot in the annals of the
past. I, of course, know Hilson
was a patriarch for the area and
had a lot to do with its development, and Green and Byam have
influenced business and overall
community growth. All three
were active members of our
towns and left a lasting mark for
generations.
Goodbye to meaningless
political campaigns. In a year’s
time, we will welcome a new
president. In my mind, this election will be one of the most important of my generation. So, more than ever before,
we must cut through the political showboating and
really get into the facts of the candidates. We must
make a good decision for the future of a drowning
nation. We need to feel safe as a nation and take
our head out of the sand (tongue in cheek). Maybe
we will be able to say goodbye to terrorism, national debt and government misuse and say hello to a
thriving nation. We must stay diligent this election
year.
As a side note, we were welcomed to our new
home by two big bucks, so maybe they decided to
move here with us. Well, maybe they said goodbye to
the gun-toting hunters and decided to be city deer.
Look out, gardeners. I’m just saying.

Delmar (Linda) Sanford, and
George (Jean) Sanford. She is
also survived by grandchildren:
Nichole (Rocky) Seylor of Grand
Coulee, David (Taunya) Sanford
of Harrington, Troy (Robin) Sanford of Grand Coulee, Kyle (Jody)
Sanford of Spokane, Josh Flowers
of Grand Coulee; 10 great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces
and nephews.
Elaine was born at McGinnis
Lake, Washington, and the family lived there until the older children were of school age, at which
time they moved to Nespelem.
She graduated from Nespelem
High School and met her future
husband, Frank Sanford, Jr.
They were married on January
22, 1942. They raised their family on a wheat and cattle ranch in
the Rex Delrio area just west of
Grand Coulee.
Elaine was a hard-working
housewife and mother, preparing
meals for harvest crews, raising
a large garden and caring for her
children. In 1963, she became
manager of Rapid Robert’s drivein, owned by Robert Pachosa.
She worked there for 25 years.
After
retirement,
Elaine still raised
huge gardens and
cared for grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. She
and Frank loved to
dance to cowboywestern music and
it was a rare Saturday night when
they were not at the
Eagles with family
and friends. They
continued dancing
until about 2009,
when health issues forced them to
retire their dancing shoes. They
also enjoyed traveling with close
friends throughout the west and
British Columbia.
Elaine was a member of the
Delrio Grange, Delrio Grange
Ladies Club, later St. Andrews
Grange, Coulee Medical Center
Guild, Grand Coulee Dam Seniors
and Eagles Lodge.
Frank and Elaine celebrated
their seventy-third wedding anniversary on January 22, 2015.
Elaine will be missed by all
who knew and loved her.
Special thanks to the Coulee
Medical Center doctors, nurses
and medical staff for their caring
support for our loved one.
Funeral services will be held
on Friday, December 4, 2015,
at 11:00 a.m. at Strate Funeral
Home, 339 E. Grand Coulee Ave,
Grand Coulee. Donations may be
made in Elaine’s name to the Senior Meals Program, Grand Coulee Dam Seniors, or Coulee Medical Center Guild.
Raymond R. (Ray) Green
In the early morning hours of
November 20, 2015, Raymond
R. Green passed away at home. Ray was a kind and gentle soul
who loved life and lived it to the
fullest. He was born
in March of 1939 in
Spokane, Washington,
and was a life-long
resident of the Coulee
Dam area, where he
grew up on the family
ranch riding his horse
to school. Ray graduated from Coulee Dam
High School in 1958
where he excelled in
multiple sports and
developed a love of
football and basketball. He was
proud to be one of the last to wear
a leather football helmet as a
freshman. After graduation, Ray
briefly attended Eastern Washington College (now EWU) where
he played football, then Spokane
Community College, where he
studied diesel mechanics, and
Kinman Business School where
he studied business. His career path led him to own
and operate his own business and
ranching. The doors to Green’s
Truck and Equipment opened in
1966 and later expanded to include both a GMC Dealership and
Arctic Cat snowmobile dealership
,and ultimately Green’s Excavation. Ray always had “a few” cows. The number varied, depending on
if it was Brenda asking or someone else, but they were central to
his life. In addition to his cows, Ray’s
passions in life included working hard and playing hard,
firefighting, running his dozer,
snowmobiling, horseback riding
in the mountains, rodeo – especially PBR – and good times with
friends and family. Throughout
his life, Ray was always active in
the community. He was an Okanogan County Fire Commissioner,
former President of the Nespelem
REA for 20 years, Hartline Lions
Club member, Elmer City Fire
Department volunteer
firefighter, Cattle Producers of Washington
member, and a former
4-H leader. Ray is survived
by his wife, Brenda;
four children: Debbie
(Tom) Akin, Tracey
(Steve) Johnson, Ron
Green, and Kevin
(Kelly) Prather, along
with seven grandchildren and three
great-grandchildren. Ray is also
survived by two brothers: Larry
(Gaylene) Green and Dan Green,
and several nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by
his parents; son, Rod Green; and
brother, Jack Green. Funeral service was held Tuesday, November 24, 2015 at 11:00
a.m., at the Nespelem Community
Center, Nespelem, Washington,
with Pastor Bill Williams, officiating. Interment was held at the
Spring Canyon Cemetery, Grand
Coulee, Washington.
Memorial donations can be
made to the Elmer City Fire Department.
Please sign the online guestbook at www.stratefuneralhome.
com. Ray was a kind man who cared
for others and never wanted to
hurt anyone’s feelings. He was
always the first to volunteer to
help anyone who needed it. He
touched many lives and impacted
many hearts; there are not enough
words to capture the fullness of
his life. We lost both a pillar of
the community and a great friend
who we will surely miss. Star Obituary Policy

Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter to Meet
Celebrating 55 years
Tom and Kathy Skordas, of Coulee Dam, Washington, are celebrating their 55th wedding anniversary December 5. The couple were wed
in Salt Lake City, Utah, on December 5, 1960. They lived in the coulee

of Reclamation, retiring in 1995.
They have two sons, Robert and Richard, and four grandchildren.
Whalawitsa/
Towner have a girl
Christopher Whalawitsa and Tyana Towner, of Nespelem, Washington, are proud to announce the birth of their daughter, Illithiah Jane
Whalawitsa on Thursday, November 19, 2015, at Coulee Medical Center in Grand Coulee. She weighed 6 lb., 13.7 oz., and was 19.5 inches
in length at birth.
Maternal grandparents are Addie Simpson and Allen Towner. Paternal grandparents are Jason Whalawitsa and Fauna Ferguson. Greatgrandparents are Lois Herman and John Herman.
Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute
will meet at 7 p.m., Tuesday, December 8, at the Wenatchee Valley Museum, 127 South Mission, Wenatchee. Why do volcanoes erupt? Why
do some erupt explosively and others gush lavas? Guest speaker, Dr.
Wendy Bohrson, CWU Distinguished Professor of Geology, will discuss
“How Volcanoes Work and Volcanism in the Pacific Northwest.” Why
are the Cascade volcanoes where they are, and what is the source of
their magma along the Cascadia subduction zone? What happened at
the Mt. Mazama eruption that later formed Crater Lake? Recent research may provide clues about conditions required to catalyze such
a large, explosive eruption that blanketed the Pacific Northwest with
pinkish-white ash. Don’t miss this talk, by an internationally revered
research volcanologist!
The program is free and open to the public. For an overview of the
Ice Age Floods and more information on the Ice Age Floods Institute,

Hospital may not
break even this year
by Scott Hunter
Coulee Medical Center officials
were hoping to break even for
2015, but probably won’t make it,
Chief Financial Officer Paul Babcock told Hospital District 6 commissioners Monday night.
CMC and its clinics lost nearly
$125,000 in October, about 7 percent of its net operating revenue
of almost $1.8 million. The low
month brings CMC’s year-to-date
losses to about $418,975, which
compares favorably to a loss of
more than $2.5 million for the
same time frame a year ago.
Even a good November and
December are unlikely to be good
enough for a break-even year,
Babcock said.
He added that emergency room
visits were down, but clinic visits
were up.
Some of the loss could be called
growing pains. After adding a new
surgeon, the hospital has added
equipment and spent money on
supplies needed for more types of
surgery offered.
Total patient revenue for the
year, before deducting for insurance discounts, was $28.6 million,
up from $27.8 million last year
through October.
Flu Advice
From the desk of Infection Prevention:
Sandra Edwards, RN
This year the Flu may extend itself to May. If you
have not had the Flu vaccine the CDC recommends
getting one now.
If you’ve just come down with miserable Flu
symptoms, you may wonder when to call the doctor.
Sooner is better than later in case your doctor thinks
you would benefit from Flu medications that may help
shorten the duration of your illness.
Coulee Medical Center’s doctors and staff are always
here to help with our community’s health concerns.
6 Things you can do to help
prevent spread of the Flu:
1. Avoid close contact.
Avoid close contact with people who
are sick. When you are sick, keep your
distance from others to protect them from
getting sick too.
Your back
says
“NO MORE!”

all of these signs and symptoms:
• Fever* or feeling feverish/chills
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Muscle or body aches
• Headaches
• Fatigue (very tired)
• Some people may have vomiting and
diarrhea, though this is more common in

2. Stay home when you are sick.
Stay home from work, school, and
errands when you are sick. You will help
prevent others from catching your illness.
3. Cover your mouth and nose.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue
when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent
those around you from getting sick.
4. Clean your hands.
Washing your hands often will help protect
you from germs. If soap and water are not
available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
Germs are often spread when a person
touches something that is contaminated
with germs and then touches his or her
eyes, nose, or mouth.
6. Practice other good health habits.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched
surfaces at home, work or school,
especially when someone is ill. Get plenty
of sleep, be physically active, manage
your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat
nutritious food.

Compiled from
police files
Grand Coulee
Police
11/24 - Police responded to a
911 hang up call at Safeway. The
officer was told there was no problem.
- A worker whose employment
was terminated by a person at
Continental Heights took some
tools and was holding them until he got paid. An officer said he
couldn’t do that, and he returned
the tools.
- A Nespelem woman was
stopped when an officer noticed
one of her headlamps was not
working. She was cited for driving with a suspended license and
for outdated vehicle tabs. A passenger was arrested on a tribal
warrant and a tribal officer came
and took charge of the passenger.
The car was towed.
11/25 - An Electric City woman reported an injured deer on
SR174.
- Plant Protection advised police of a vehicle off the road near
the top of the dam. The Grand
Coulee driver told police that she
hit a patch of sand and lost control of the vehicle. She said she
was driving about 40 mph. Police
explained that the speed limit at
that location was 30 mph and gave
the woman a ticket for driving too
fast for road conditions. The car
was repaired and the woman was
then able to drive it away.
11/26 - An officer found four
used fire extinguishers near the
basketball court at the middle
school.
- A motorist gave an officer
a wallet he had found on River
Drive in Coulee Dam. Police
called the owner of the wallet and
left word where it was.
11/27 - Tribal police asked for
assistance as they brought an
unruly suspect into Coulee Medical Center. The tribal officer got
a search warrant so hospital attendants could draw a blood sample and local officers assisted in
holding the suspect down while a
blood sample was taken. The tribal officer took the suspect away in
his patrol car.
11/28 - A Tonasket driver was
cited for speeding when an officer
clocked the man going 41 mph in
a 30 mph zone.
- A Coulee Dam woman was
stopped at SR 155 and Kent
Street because her license plate
light was out. When she couldn’t
provide proof of insurance, she
was cited for that.
11/29 - An Elmer City man was
stopped after an officer saw him
loading things into his vehicle
from behind the Grand Coulee
Dam Senior Center. He said he
thought the clothes he loaded
had been discarded. The officer
found that the plates on his vehicle didn’t belong to that vehicle
and that they were outdated. The
man also could not show proof of
insurance. He was cited for the
plate problem, no insurance, and
expired tabs. The vehicle was
towed because it couldn’t be determined who owned it.
- A Soap Lake man was stopped
when an officer saw him make an
illegal turn off SR 155 in Electric
City. The man was eventually cited for operating a vehicle without
an ignition interlock, the illegal
turn, no insurance, and no valid
operator license.
11/30 - An unknown party
got into the Central Washington
Grain Growers building through
a window.
- A woman on Sunny Drive in
Electric City advised police of a
dent in her vehicle. She said she
didn’t know how it happened or
when it occurred.
12/1 - A Nespelem woman was
stopped because her license tabs
had expired in 2014. The driver
stated she did not have a driver’s
license and had no insurance.
She was cited on all the charges,
and a passenger went to get a
licensed driver to take charge of
the vehicle.
Coulee Dam
Police
11/24 - Police advised a driver
about following a truck too closely. The report stated that there
was barely a car length between

stop sign after leaving the credit
union parking lot.
11/25 - The driver of a garbage
truck advised police that someone had been smoking marijuana
in a restroom at Mason City Park.
The officer checked the restroom
and could smell the marijuana
but couldn’t find anyone there.
