A big community asset needs
some springtime sprucing, and parks
commissioners picked this Saturday to
do it, hoping you’ll help.
The Coulee Area Parks and

On outsourcing
juvenile care
A presentation on the possible
outsourcing the housing of juvenile
detainees to Medical Lake or
elsewhere from Okanogan County will
take place at tonight’s Coulee Dam
Town Council meeting at 6 p.m.
County commissioners are
studying the idea, which is drawing
controversy. Critics say it would cost
more, not less, money, and place a
high burden on already-struggling
families.
School concert tonight
A combined junior high and senior
high Lake Roosevelt music concert
that had been canceled earlier will
be held at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday,
April 27, at the high school gym. The
band and choir will be putting on a
presentation called “At the Movies.”

Hearing for
reprimanded
councilmember
tonight
by Roger S. Lucas
A public hearing will be held
tonight for an Electric City council member who wants to answer
her reprimand in public.
The meeting will take place at
6 p.m. tonight (Wednesday, April
27) in the city council chambers.
Councilmember Birdie Hensley had asked for a public hearing after she was reprimanded
by Mayor John Nordine II and
the city council for making inquiries of other agencies, suggesting
she was doing so on behalf of the
council.
Tonight’s hearing will not take
input from the public, but will
outline what city officials see as
the problem and allow Hensley to
speak on the matter.
The legal issue is called “ultra
vires,” meaning acting outside of
the powers or authority allowed
by law. The phrase is Latin for
“beyond the powers.”
Hensley had communicated
with the State Auditor’s Office
and the Sunnyside Chamber of
Commerce, suggesting, city officials stated, that she indicated
she was doing so on behalf of the
council.
Hensley claimed that she was
just trying to get information on
issues the council was dealing
with.
The public may attend the
hearing.
Hensley invoked the state’s
Open Public Meetings Act to get
the issue heard in public, rather
than in an executive session of
the council.

Colorama to bring new
feature in place of old
by Roger S. Lucas
There is a new major event for
Colorama this year, because another major feature won’t be appearing.
Jump N2 Fun, a firm that features a host of inflatable slides
and bounce houses, will replace
the carnival this year and will be
located at Banks Lake Park, just
south of North Dam Park.
“In recent years the Colorama
carnival provided by Paradise
Amusements has delivered increasingly disappointing showings,” the Grand Coulee Dam Area
Chamber of Commerce said in a
statement Tuesday. “Last Friday,
they surprised us by deciding not
to honor our signed contract with
them, saying they were not coming this year.” Paradise Amusements had signed a contract that
provided for an appearance again
this year.
The chamber responded quickly and has secured an appearance
by Jump N2 Fun, a Post Falls,
Idaho, firm.
Billed as “COLORAMA FUN
ZONE,” the event will feature
“bigger-than-life inflatable slides,
obstacle courses and a super fun
challenge Bungee Blast – plus
bounce houses, basketball and
other sports challenges,” the
chamber’s Facebook page says.
There will be an advance ticket
sale for the new Fun Zone. Tickets are on sale beginning today at

Coulee Dam police officer Cassidy
Clark showed how he views being
a public servant April 17, when he
helped out a motorist near Greene
Field. Clark saw a vehicle parked near
the field with an elderly person outside
and learned that the person needed
help with a flat tire. After getting the
tire changed, Clark found out that the
driver couldn’t get the vehicle started,
so he went home, got jumper cables,
returned and got the car started for
him. It was all in a day’s work for Clark.
Burritos for …
scholars
Sweeto Burritos will be delivered to
the Lake Roosevelt area on Thursday,
May 5. You can get in on the action by
placing your order with your child or a
friend’s child. Order forms will be sent
home with students or you can pick
one up at one of the school offices. All
orders will be sent home with students
by 3 p.m. on May 5. You can also pick
up your order at the school before 4:30
p.m. This is part of the honor society’s
effort to raise money for the Steve
Breeze Scholarship for 2016.
Free comic books will be given
away at the Coulee City Library on
May 7, as part of National Free Comic
Book Day. The library will be open
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. that day. This is
the 15th year for the event.
The Grand Coulee Dam School
District directors approved one leave
request, a resignation, and a new hire
at its meeting Monday night.
Granted a leave was special
program paraprofessional Jennifer
Hare in the elementary school.
Resigning was Josh Kelton, a high
school teacher of history and social
studies. Jaron Trotter was hired as
special education paraeducator.
At Nespelem, that school board
approved resignations of driver Jeff
Ramsdell and financial officer Tanya
Bunting.
Dems to select
delegates
Grant County Democrats will meet
May 1, at 3 p.m., at the Moses Lake
High School, to select delegates for
the state convention. Registration
begins at 2 p.m.
Average attendance for the Grand
Coulee Dam District schools for the
month of April was 680 students, the
exact number budgeted by the school
board a year ago. The number is
down five students from the March
report.

Hundreds attend seventh annual
Earth Day Celebration in Nespelem
by Jacob Wagner
A festive Earth Day celebration, the seventh organized by a local Earth Day Committee, took place at the Nespelem powwow
grounds Friday as an estimated 800-1,200
children and adults enjoyed the sunshine, free
hot dogs, raffle prizes, drums, and educational
and interactive booths run by volunteers.
Kris Ray of the Colville Tribes’ Environ-
mental Trust program had a tall, fascinating
device setup which measures the smoke content of the air we breathe, as well as temperature, wind, and humidity. There is one of the
devices set up in each of the towns of Omak,
Nespelem, and Inchelium.
One booth had a model town and dam with
a hand crank, which, as you turn it, emulates
the generation of electricity. The crank is easy
to turn at first, but as you flip the switches
that represent the homes and businesses that
draw more electricity throughout the day, the
crank becomes harder to turn, representing
the greater energy needed to generate more
and more electricity.
Another booth with a model town showed
that, as it rains, water flows according to the
slopes and becomes contaminated along the
way.

in the capital budget staff in
Olympia, which could affect the
Grand Coulee Dam School District.
Parlette spoke at the Rotary

Parlette, who has served on the
Senate Ways and Means Committee for 20 years, managed to get
the state to fund the district’s new
school complex, which it could not
do on its own because of the high
amount of non-taxable federal
property in the area.

Letters from Our Readers
Four-school memorial a great idea
Reading Connie Babler’s letter to The Star April 13, 2016,
brought back many happy memories of going to school in Coulee
Dam and growing up in such a
great place.
The idea of a “memorial” repre-
senting all four schools is a great
idea. And all four “alumni” should
get together — there are many of
us living around the area and I’m
sure they have lots of ideas. Let’s
hear from them!
Thank you, Connie. I doubt if
all the “alumni” knew about “four
schools.”

Help from all welcome on school memorial
In response to the letter from
Connie Babler a couple of weeks
ago, the Grand Coulee Alumni Association would like to clarify a
few things.
First of all, the main concern
of our association is that the
names of the combined schools
be remembered. We are looking
for ideas on how to design an appropriate remembrance for this
purpose. The endeavor will re-
quire co-operation between all the
school districts involved and for
there to be equal monies, input,
and interest of all involved.
Any interested parties are welcome to attend the next Alumni
Association meeting and bring
their design and fund-raising
ideas. We will be meeting on the
third Wednesday of May, which
is May 18, 2016 at 12:30 p.m., at
the Grand Coulee Community
Church. Please feel free to contact
any of the officers in the association for information: Lonna Bussert, 633-2410; Kathy Rice, 6330182; Darlene Dittmer, 633-2235;

Kirk Adams taking his skills
to the Big Apple
Kirk Adams has earned the reputation as a visionary leader who gets things done for people with
disabilities. Those qualities, coupled with hard work
and determination, rewarded him with the nation’s
top job advocating for the blind.
In May, Adams, who grew up in Snohomish, becomes only the sixth American Foundation for the
Blind (AFB) president since the non-profit was
formed in 1921. It is the organization where the legendary Helen Keller’s archives reside.
Carl R. Augusto, retiring AFB president, calls
Adams “a brilliant strategist” and someone he has
admired over his 25 years as
CEO.
So the Adams family is
moving to New York City,
the “Big Apple.”
by
Following in the footDon C. Brunell
steps of long-time successful
CEOs is not new for Adams,
who has been blind since he
was five-years old. In 2008,
the Seattle-based Lighthouse for the Blind reached into its own ranks and
selected Adams to succeed George Jacobson, who retired after 29 years as CEO.
In his eight years at the helm, Adams expanded
Lighthouse services to 11 different locations across
America, along with Seattle and Spokane. It focuses
on providing jobs, skills training and self-sufficiency,
for the blind, people with severe visual impairments,
and those who are both deaf and blind.
Finding work for people with disabilities is a
challenge.
Last September, the U.S. Dept. of Labor reported
that, of the nearly 4 million people who reported
blindness or had serious difficulty seeing, approximately 3 million were identified as “not in the labor
force.” This means that approximately 75 percent
of people who are blind or whose vision is impaired
even when wearing glasses were not counted in the
jobless statistics and do not receive jobless benefits.
The problem is more acute for people who are
both deaf and blind.
That worries Adams, whose goal is to provide employment through on-the-job training programs that
help the blind obtain outside employment so that
they can live self-sufficient and productive lives.
As for pay and benefits, Lighthouse pays competitive wages based on annual surveys of pay rates
Guest
Column
throughout the Puget Sound for similar jobs. The
good news is each worker earns a comparable rate
to what someone in the same position earns at another company or nonprofit.
You may be surprised to learn what people who
are blind and blind-deaf accomplish.
For example, Lighthouse has been a Boeing parts
supplier since 1951. Today, its machinists use a wide
variety of accessible technology: 3-D blueprints, digital gauges, adaptive technology and voice-interactive machines, digital screen reading software, and
digital displays to make sophisticated
parts for Boeing.
Under Adams’ leadership, Lighthouse became an AS9100- and ISO
2001:9000-certified
manufacturer,
which qualifies its machinists to attract highly technical and precision
manufacturing product contracts.
The bottom line is Lighthouse
workers are highly trained, extremely productive and can compete with
the best.
The Association of Washington
Business honored Lighthouse with the 2015 Manufacturer of the Year for Operational Excellence. As
an aerospace and military supplier, its products
have a 99.95-percent quality acceptance rating and
a 99.76-percent on-time delivery rating.
Adams now inherits a much larger organization.
The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) is
a leader in expanding opportunities and breaking
down barriers for the more than 20 million Americans living with vision loss.
Adams is highly motivated, determined and
smart. Any blind person who can climb Mt. Rainier
with the legendary Jim Whittaker, make the high
school wrestling team, ski, and is a Phi Beta Kappa
graduate in economics from Whitman College has
what it takes to overcome whatever challenge is in
his path.
Kirk Adams is a caring and engaging leader with
very special talents. We’ll miss him.
A gem in the Coulee: Richard Hill
Most of you probably have no idea who this is.
Some USBR employees know him, but more importantly a handful of high school kids know him too.
Recently Mr. Hill came to Lake Roosevelt and spoke
some truth into the ears of our young adults with
a positive but straightforward message, hoping that his words would
shake some loose from the confines
of their own situations.
Like me about 10 years ago,
when you first meet Rich, you are
intimidated. He is a huge man, with
muscles that bulge like a professional wrestler’s. Then he speaks,
Jesse Utz
and with a voice very similar to
“The Rock.” All I can say is, if he
did not have your attention before,
now he does. But it doesn’t take
long into the conversation before
you realize that there is much more
brains here than brawn.
Mr. Hill is retired Air Force, retired federal corrections officer, body builder, former security personnel, and still working in Procurement with USBR.
But his message is about overcoming your current
circumstance, knowing what you want to do and going after it. It is also about respect. Earning it and
giving it. He gave these kids a peek into the realistic
world of prison life and what it takes to survive in
that cutthroat environment. As he spoke, the kids
listened. He kept their focus for the whole 45 minutes. With a peek into his past in Oakland, complete
with the struggles of growing up with just a mom
full-time, he spoke of making up his mind early in
life to be in the Air Force and do everything he had
to do to make that dream come true. He talked of
Jess,
shut up!
the friends who did not make it off the streets and
of those who did that are in prison. He spoke of the
students taking their lives into their own hands.
Richard spoke to these young men and women
from his heart. He spoke with vigor and passion,
much like the work he has put
into his own body. He spoke
words that he had wished
someone had spoken to him at
this very age. The few teachers
who heard his message made
statements afterward such as
“Everyone needs to hear this
message,” and they are right.
Rich hopefully spoke some
seeds of change into the lives
of those who are lost and on
the wrong path. As a matter of
fact, I know he did. One young
man came up to me after Rich
was done and said, “That was
what I needed — a wake-up call.” Maybe that’s what
we all need sometimes.
You see, Rich is not from here, hasn’t even been
here all that long. But he has a heart for the kids of
Coulee Country. His message was for striving to be
the best you that you can be, a message of respecting
yourself first and getting on the right path and take
advantage of the time you have.
Rich is a Gem in the Coulee. Thank you, Mr. Hill,
for taking time out of your life and your family’s life
to share some wisdom with the kids of Lake Roosevelt. We are honored to have you as a community
member and we are truly blessed to have a man of
your integrity walking the streets of Coulee Country.

I would like to start my letter by introducing myself. My name is
Ora A. (Smith) Christman, daughter of Johnnie B. Smith of Kelly
Hill lnchelium area and Norine L. (Circle) Smith of Nespelem.
Grandparents were Charlie Smith and Adeline (Quill) Smith, on
my dad’s side, and my mother's parents were Suzanne (Wapto)
Morgan and Art Circle, both of Nespelem.
I am writing to request that you support my son, Cory R. Christman, in the upcoming
Tribal Elections. Cory attended grade school in Nespelem, junior high at Grand Coulee,
and the 9th to 11th grade he attended Davenport High School, returning to Coulee Dam
and graduating from Lake Roosevelt.
He married his junior high/high school sweetheart, Krystal Green (descendent of the
LaFountaine family). They have three (3) children: 2 boys and 1 girl. Cory believes in
family values and Elders and Children should always come first!
Cory worked for Mt. Tolman Fire Center, then applied for a Game Warden position and
was hired, where he went on to attend the Roswell New Mexico Police Academy and
graduated. He worked for Parks and Recreation for several years, applied and was
hired on as a Tribal Police Officer.
I would like to tell you all about a young man who was stranded in Coulee Dam! Had
nowhere to go or money for a motel room until morning so he could catch the People
to People bus back to Spokane. Cory was on duty when he came across that young
man at the park. He stopped and asked if he was okay. The young man told Cory what
his problem was; it being freezing weather that night, Cory fed the young man and paid
for a room that night, all out of his own pocket. When he told me about the young man
I couldn't be more proud of my son. As an Officer of the Colville Tribe, we should all be
proud as well, because this young man was not a Tribal Member.
With this being said, I hope you support my son, Cory R. Christman, for Position #2 in
the upcoming Tribal Elections.
Thank You
Ora A. Christman

Raiders sweep Hornets,
split with Mt. Lions

Raiders golf enjoying
the good weather
Raider baseball rebounded
from losses to Okanogan by
sweeping the Oroville Hornets
last week, then splitting a doubleheader with Liberty Bell.
The lowly Hornets were easily
defeated by the Raiders in Oroville April 19. Lake Roosevelt won
both games, 19-2 and 25-0.
Liberty Bell came down to
Greene Field on Friday for a double-header when both squads exchanged big games.
In the first game, the Mountain Lions had a big offensive
day, beating the Raiders 9-2. But
in the second game, the Raiders
turned it around and held the
Liberty Bell to just one run. The
final score was LR 11 – LB 1.
Now the Raiders are looking
to start a winning streak. The

Raider tennis hitting stride
The Raider girls won their two
team tennis matches last week,
while the boys lost both.
The boys won their doubles
matches against the Davenport
Gorillas April 18 but lost the
singles, while the LR girls won
the singles matches but lost the
doubles.
At Oroville on Thursday, the
Raider girls scored another team
win while the boys came close to
winning by just one match.
The Raiders won four of their
five matches against the Hornets.
“Tanya Ang’s match was a
hot-and-cold affair,” Raider Head
Coach Steve Archer said. “Each
girl won a set at a lopsided 6-0
score, but Tanya was not able to
push her way for a win in the deciding third set, winning only two
games off her opponent, Mikayla
Scott.”
“The closest match for the boys
was Edmond Fenton at third singles,” Archer said.
After winning the first set 6-2,
Fenton dropped the second 3-6
and was behind 0-5 in the third
before “something clicked and he
won five games in a row, so they
were knotted up at 5-5,” Archer
said.
He narrowly lost the next two,
Archer said, and the win went to
Oroville 3-2.

Track gets closer to goals
Raider Track completed another two-meet week, traveling
to Lakeside High School in Nine
Mile Falls April 20 and to Quincy
on the 23rd.
The meet at Lakeside was a
Northeast B-Leagues meet, with
schools from both the Panorama
and Bi-County League in attendance. Quincy was the annual invite, with schools from all across
Central and Eastern Washington
competing.
At Lakeside, Matthew Tillman
ran a personal record time in the
100-meter dash, placing fifth with
a time of 12.24 seconds. Tillman
also placed third in the pole vault,
clearing the 8-foot standard.
Later in the 400-meter sprint,
Cameron Tillman, Will Friedlander, and Robert George all
placed. Friedlander took fifth
in 59.15 seconds. George placed
sixth at 59.69, and Tillman placed
seventh at 59.80 seconds.
George also placed in the
110-meter high hurdles, taking
home fifth at the PR time of 18.36
seconds. In his field event, George
placed fourth in the triple jump
by hopping, skipping, and jumping 35 feet 10 inches. Friedlander
also placed in the triple jump,
taking home fifth with the PR
jump of 35-6.
Nathan Morrell placed in both
the shot put and discus. Morrell
placed fifth in shot, throwing 35
feet, 5.5 inches. At Discus, Morrell
placed fourth by throwing 100
feet, 6 inches.
The 4x100-meter relay team
of Friedlander, Nathaniel Hall,
Cameron and Matthew took third
with a time of 49.65 seconds.
At Lakeside, no Raider girl
placed, but Oliva Antone threw
PRs in all three throwing events.
Antone finished the day with a
22-01 shot throw, 58-10 in discus,
and 54-2 in javelin. Marisha Hobrecht PRed in the discus with a
57-9.
Madeline Piccolo ran for PRs in
both the 100 (15.44) and the 200
(32.84). Keianna Vera also ran
PRs in both the 100 (15.14) and
the 200 (31.24).
“All athletes performed well at
the Lakeside meet, setting many
personal records,” Head Coach
Lori Adkins said.
April 23 at the CliftonLarsenAllen Invitational in Quincy, no
Raiders, boys or girls, placed.
Robert George ran new PR
times in both hurdles races.
George finished the 110 high
hurdles in 18.34 seconds and the
300 intermediate hurdles in 47.81
seconds, “a solid … performance,”
Adkins said.
Tillman “came on strong” to
clear 8 feet in the pole vault, Adkins noted, and Kaden Trotter set
a PR in the 200, finishing at 26.17
seconds.
Jonell Denchel threw a big PR
in the discus, with a throw of 8208.
Marisha Hobrecht beat her
PRs in both the shot (21-11) and
javelin (46-7).
Keianna Vera reached PRs in
both the javelin (74-4) and long
jump (13-3.25).
This week is another two-meet
week for the Raiders. LR again
went to a Northeast B meet at
Davenport last night. On Friday,
the Raiders will take part in the
Rieke Invite in Peshastin. Cascade High School is the host, and
the participants are from Central
Washington, plus some schools the
west side of Stevens Pass. Field
events start at 4 p.m., and track
events start at 4:30 p.m.
Raider Golf last week had the
good fortune of playing in warm,
sunny weather after having some
cool wet matches early on.
Head Coach Steve Files said,
“The weather has been fantastic and our young team has been
making steady improvement.”
At Moses Pointe, the Raiders
faced Moses Lake Christian, Riverside Christian, and Sunnyside
April 18. In tough competition on
the 18-hole round, Darin Whiteman continued to lead the Raider
boys, finishing the round in 106
strokes. Jazmine Reed led the
Raider girls with a 133.
The Raiders played their home
match April 20 at Banks Lake
Golf Course against Warden, Oroville, Tonasket, and Okanogan.
“Our home match last week was
a lot of fun, mid-80s and nearly 40
competitors from four schools,”
Files said. “We sure appreciate the
efforts and support for our program by Jim Keene, Jerry Sands
and all the great volunteers out at
Banks Lake, as the course is looking and playing good.”
Whiteman once again led the
Raider boys at the home match,
finishing the 18-hole round at
111 strokes. Jazmine Reed continued to lead the Raider girls while
trimming 15 strokes off her total
for 118.
Raider golf last night traveled
to Alta Lake, where they faced
Okanogan, Riverside Christian,
and Moses Lake Christian. Alta
Lake will also host the District 6
match later in May.
Now the Raider golfers will
prepare for a dual match against
Okanogan May 4 at Lake Wood
Golf Course, starting at 2:30 p.m.
Lake Wood Golf Course is located
on Half Sun Way, upstream of
Chief Joseph Dam in Bridgeport.

Lady Raiders win one of four
Lady Raider softball had a
tough week, winning only one of
four games last week.
“We had too many defensive
errors this week,” Head Coach
Cassie Wendt said.
In a doubleheader against Oroville, the Lady Raiders committed
13 errors against the Hornets,
then six against the Mountain Lions.
Though the team did improve
by reducing the number of errors,
Wendt said, “We cannot expect to
win games when we give the other
team that many opportunities.”
In the first matchup, April 19
in Oroville, the Hornets just held
off the Lady Raiders in the first
game, 12-11. In the second game,

the Hornets really outscored the
Lady Raiders, 13-3.
Coach Wendt said Gloria Michel “pitched well against Oroville.”
At Liberty Bell on Friday, the
Lady Raiders and Mountain Lions were close in the first game.
The Lady Raiders held off Liberty
Bell to win the one-run game, 8-7.
“Coming back from a six-run
deficit against Liberty Bell, we
showed a lot of good character
and fight,” Wendt said.
In the second game, the Mountain Lions exploded with a 21-run
offense, defeating the Lady Raiders by over 10 runs, 21-9.
“We also had some very good
defensive innings; however, we
need to put all our good defensive
and offensive innings together to
make a complete game,” Wendt
said.
She noted that “Tristan Adolph
and Kourtney Harrington pitched
very well.”
Last night the Lady Raiders
hosted the Pateros Nannies for
senior night in Grand Coulee.
Saturday, the Lady Raiders will
travel to Manson for a doubleheader starting at 11 a.m.
“We expect to compete against
Pateros and Manson,” Wendt said.
“Neither games are out of reach
for us.”
She also commented on injuries that have affected the Lady
Raiders. “We also hope to all be
fully healthy and in the lineup as
over the course of the last three
outings we have been missing
many starters for various reasons,” Wendt noted.
For the final games of the regular season, the Lady Raiders will
go to Tonasket May 3 for a doubleheader starting at 3 p.m.
