Council against
shipping out youth
Elmer City’s town council
passed a resolution last week
to ask Okanogan County
commissioners to keep its
juvenile detention facility and
not send juveniles to a facility
out of the county. The council
cited the negative impacts,
both socially and economically, this would have on youth
and their families.

SERVING THE GRAND COULEE DAM AREA, WASHINGTON STATE
MAY 18, 2016
Future of city, pathway project discussed
by Roger S. Lucas
About 40 people showed up
Saturday at the Vet’s Center to
hear and take part in discussions
about the revitalization of Electric City.
The meeting, the first of two
scheduled, was to get input on
what residents would like to see
in the future for the city.
Washington State University
professor Kathleen Ryan conducted the meeting after Electric
City Deputy Clerk Russell Powers
explained the reason for the meeting — to get ideas from the public of what they would like to see
Electric City become in the future.
Ryan, Professor Bob Krikac,
and four students from WSU
made up the team from the
school’s Rural Communities Design Initiative.
The plan is for the WSU team
to take the ideas and return in a
few weeks with a tentative plan of
how the city might proceed. Powers said he thought the next meeting would be in July.
The discussion quickly turned
to a proposed pathway and trail
system in the city. The design
group sought ideas of the components of any trail system as
well as thoughts on other parks
and city improvements, including
sidewalks.
There was strong feeling that
the Ice Age story should be told
along the trail system so visitors
would learn more about the area.
Comments were made about
restrooms, picnic tables, possible
lighting on the trail, and a station
where those with electric cars
could recharge their vehicles.
There was concern that a trail
system through neighborhoods
might produce vandalism, burglaries and scattered debris.
Those are some of the things
that the WSU team will try to ad-
What Electric City could look like in the future was the subject Saturday
as about 40 people showed up at the Vet’s Center to share their ideas.
People were asked to break apart in small groups and discuss items of
interest. Most hovered over large aerial prints of the area to see how their
ideas would work out. Here, WSU Professor Bob Krikac visits with Coulee
Playland employee Lou Nevsimal (pointing from the right) about one of the
features on an aerial print. City Councilmember Lonna Bussert is in the left

dress before their next meeting
here.
The city council has already
approved $40,000 from its hotel/
motel fund to pay the expenses
of the WSU team and for Gray &
Osborne, the city’s engineering
firm, to put a plan together.
The council also set aside
$400,000 of hotel/motel funds to
be used for matching money for
Resort, stated that he was opposed to any trail system. He said
he thought the use of hotel/motel
tax money for a trail was inappropriate. It was pointed out by Powers that Welton would have plenty
of time to discuss this later in the
program, and that this part of the
program was to collect ideas from
the audience.
Some residents were concerned
Free fresh food
coming Tuesday
by Roger S. Lucas
The Mobile Food Bank of 2nd
Harvest will distribute free produce, nutritious perishable products and other groceries for families in need at Zion Lutheran
Church, Tuesday, May 24 from 10
a.m. to noon.
Last year’s 2nd Harvest visit
distributed 7,230 pounds of vegetables and perishable foods,
and officials here said that about
10,000 pounds of free food should
be available this year. Those attending the free food distribution are asked to bring their own
boxes.
This year, there will be two
such free distributions of food by
2nd Harvest. The second visit is
scheduled for Sept. 22, and will be
sponsored by Coulee Dam Federal
Credit Union, as part of its 75th
anniversary.
Next Tuesday’s free distribution is sponsored by Zion Lutheran Church, Grand Coulee
Community Church, Thrivent
Financial and American Legion
Post 157. The 2nd Harvest receives support from Asuris Northwest Health.
The distribution event is open
to the public and no documentation is needed.

work on phase one of the trail.
Powers had to keep bringing
the group back to the purpose of
the meeting, to share ideas.
People in the audience wanted
answers on how much the trail
would cost, where the money
would come from and specifics
that are not readily available
until there’s a plan to work from.
Pat Welton, of Sunbanks Lake
that any trail system would go between their property and Banks
Lake. The Bureau of Reclamation owns land along the shore of
Banks Lake and any trail system
along the lake would presumably
be on Bureau property. Still, nothing has been decided and the WSU
team will return in July with more
specific ideas.

Contract voided by council
by Roger S. Lucas
The chamber of commerce’s 2016 contract with
Electric City, good for nearly $27,000 for advertising
use, was voided last Tuesday night by city council
members because the wording of the contract returned to the city in April had been altered.
The city is sending out the original contract again
this week. If it isn’t signed and returned, the hotel/
motel funds will continue to remain with the city.
The council had agreed to provide the Grand
Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce $30,000
for this year but would take back $3,208.51, the
amount the city says the chamber went over its
agreement for 2015.
The original 2016 contract stated that advertising expenses for the chamber festivals Colorama,

Tribal voters choose
candidates in primary
by Roger S. Lucas
All of the incumbents who
filed for re-election in the Colville
Tribal Business Council primary
election last week made it into
the general election, scheduled for
June 17.
Only one councilmember up for
election, Nancy Johnson, for the
Nespelem District Position 2 seat,
did not file.
The top vote getters for that
seat — Sheliah Cleveland with
177 votes, and Brian Nissen, a
three-time former council member
with 164 votes — will make it into
the June general election. Others in that race were Charlene E.
Bearcub, 151 votes; Cory Christman, 114 votes; and Joaquin J.
Marchand, 111 votes.
In Nespelem District Position
1, William “Billy” Nicholson II,
gained 272 votes and will face
challenger Willie Womer, who received 250 votes. Others in that
race were Amelia AM (Moses)
Marchand, 158 votes, and Clarita
A. Vargas, who received 40 votes.
In Inchelium District Position
2, incumbent Marvin Kheel got
158 votes and will face Larry K.

Large crowd attends county Colorama parade winners listed
meeting on juvenile hall
by Fred Netzel, special to The Star
Approximately 100 concerned
citizens from across Okanogan
County attended a special session
of the Okanogan County Board of
Commissioners May 10. At stake:
the future of Okanogan County
juvenile detainees.
A quiet group waited patiently for their opportunity to tell
the three county commissioners
one thing: Do not move troubled
youth out of Okanogan County.
Included in the group were District Court judges Charles Short
and Robert Grim and Superior
Court judges Christopher Culp
and Henry Rawson. Questions
from the judges and comments
from citizens followed a 90-minute presentation by three representatives from Martin Hall, a
juvenile detention facility located
approximately 150 miles east in
Medical Lake, Washington.
This special session was the
fourth of six scheduled sessions
as the county commissioners
gather facts and figures from
Chelan County, Martin Hall and
Okanogan County administrators in order to determine where
to best detain juvenile offenders
before, during and after appearance in Okanogan County Superior Court. Commissioners stated
that costs associated with detention, transportation and rehabilitation services, as well as impacts
to juveniles and their extended
families, will be considered before
a final decision is reached.
Contract
Koulee Kids Fest, Harvest Festival, and for the Grand Coulee
Dam Area Visitor’s Guide, would
be paid upon receipt of invoices.
The chamber had stated earlier
that this wording was too restrictive and tried to improve the
language of the contract, adding
“and general tourism.”
The council was supportive of
the work of the chamber, but felt
that it had voided the agreement
by changing the wording of the
contract. Electric City had sent
the contract out in January.
Electric City advised the
chamber of commerce by letter
last week that it needed to sign
the original unaltered contract
Election
Martin Hall Juvenile Justice Facility is a 63-bed facility
constructed in 1935 and leased
from the state of Washington by
a consortium of nine Washington
counties. Management and dayto-day operations of the facility
are provided through a five-year
contract with Community, Counseling & Correctional Services
(CCCS), a private, not-for-profit
corporation headquartered in
Butte, Montana. CCCS has 14
correctional facilities located in
Montana, North Dakota, Idaho
and Washington. The company
also provides approximately 90
percent of the transportation
services associated with moving prisoners incarcerated in the
Montana Correctional Facility
system.
Lincoln
County
Commissioner Scott Hutsell, chairman
of Martin Hall, led a discussion
that focused on the process the
nine-county consortium uses at
the end of each calendar year
to determine a daily bed rate to
charge facility users during the
following year. The facility houses between 22 and 25 juveniles
per day this year, with a recent
peak of 40 juveniles. The average
stay at Martin Hall is 14 days.
Members of the nine-county consortium are charged for a total
27 beds used 365 days per year,
whether the beds are used or not.
The bed rate this calendar year
is $155 per day for a total of approximately $ 1.53 million.

so advertising invoices could be
paid.
The chamber had already submitted invoices for this year and
payment of them is pending receipt of the signed original contract.
Chamber Executive Director
Peggy Nevsimal said the contract, unaltered, had been signed
and returned to the city Tuesday.
“We are disappointed that we
won’t be allowed to advertise anything other than the five festivals,” she said. “Festival are only
a small part of what we have to
offer.”
Continued from front page
the general election. Others in
that race were James Esquivel,
with 12 votes, Cary L. Rosenbaum Sr., 73 votes, and Stevey
Seymour with 74 votes.
In the Inchelium District Position 1 race, incumbent Jim Boyd,
who received 148 votes, will meet
George Simpson, who got 142
votes, in the general election.
Others in that race were Sarah J.
Finley with 125 votes and Douglas Seymour with 55 votes.
In the Keller District Position
1 race, Joseph L. Somday received 107 votes and will square
off against Billie Jo Bray, who
had 37 votes. Kelly Jarred, also in
the race, attracted 28 votes.
In Omak District Position 1,
incumbent Edwin L. Marchand,
with 297 votes, will face Darlene
“Dar” Burke, who had 141 votes.
Gene Allen got 95 votes.
In the Omak District 2 race,
Michael E Marchand got 217
votes and will face Karen Condon, who received 138 votes. Others in the race include Richard
Allen with 95 votes, and Anne
Marchand with 85 votes.
Non-consortium counties and
other judicial jurisdictions, such
as Indian tribes and states, have
access to the remaining 36 beds
in Martin Hall in two ways: First,
the jurisdictions can contract for
one or more beds for 365 days for
one year at the same daily rate
the consortium members pay
($155 per bed per day this year).
Garfield County has used this approach in the past. The second
approach is to contract for beds
on an as-needed basis. This is the
approach most commonly utilized
by tribes. This year, the consortium is charging $200 per day per
bed under this approach.
Hutsell and his team, commissioners Jack Johnson, of Stevens County, and Bill Smith, of
Douglas County, provided additional information during the
special session. The team covered educational and behavioral
modification counseling, capital
improvements and day-to-day
maintenance and transportation costs. Currently, CCCS provides transportation services to
consortium members at no cost.
Coulee Dam Mayor Greg Wilder
drew a buzz from the audience
during the comment period when
he stated that the notion of free
transportation was little more
than “smoke and mirrors.”
Further informational sessions
are scheduled at the Okanogan
County Commissioners Hearing
Room in the Grainger Building
on the county justice campus in
Okanogan. On June 14, Court Administrator Dennis Rabidou will
present information on programs
and services currently available
to juvenile offenders at Okanogan County Juvenile Detention.
On June 21, Superior Court judges will discuss legal issues associated with preliminary detention,
transportation and court appearances.
Sessions will start at 6 p.m.
The public is welcomed and encouraged to attend.

The people broke up into
smaller groups and occupied several tables that were set up with
large aerial prints. People were
marking where any community
trail might go as it wound its
way through the city.
The WSU contingent had
placed sheets of paper on the
walls with different ideas where
people marked interest in both
a community trail and one proposed as a nature trail along Osborne Bay.
Powers pointed out that any
sidewalk project would be funded
through grants from the Washington State Transportation Improvement Board. Currently, the
city does not have any sidewalks
through its main business area.

How would you answer Kate?
Approached by someone who knew nothing about
the area you live in, how would you answer them if
asked for the most important facts they should know
before or during a visit to the area we call home?
That’s the essence of a question asked by Kate,
who plans to bicycle through the area in August on
a cross-country trek with a large group of bicyclists
— all the way from Providence, Rhode Island.
“I was wondering if there was any information
you think visitors should know about Grand Coulee,” Kate wrote in a recent email to The Star.
That’s a broad question with a lot of potential answers, the basis of the format for the special section
found in this issue for many readers.
Subscribers to The Star will find in this issue
“The Grand Coulee Dam Area Visitors’ Guide 2016.”
Its question-and-answer format was conceived long
ago to answer questions commonly asked by people
like Kate. But this is a new age with new capabilities, which we embrace.
Where our printed visitor guide leaves off, our on-
line blog picks up at gcdvisitor.com. We’d like your
help with it.
The intent of the online product is to offer visitors updates on what’s happening right now and to
explore in greater depth the topics that will keep
them (and you) interested. This week, for example,
we’ll post about this weekend’s music festival at
Sunbanks Lake Resort.
But that doesn’t answer Kate’s more timeless
question. How would you answer her? We’d like to
know.
If you’d like to tell us, feel free to write in, answer
in the comments section online or in the comments
to this article on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/GrandCouleeStar, or our Twitter feed, @
culestar.
Oh, and take a look at this year’s visitors’ guide,
just to get you started.

Letters from Our Readers
A theme cropped up in hearing on
change in juvenile facilities
On May 10, a public meeting
was held in Okanogan involving a possible change on where
our troubled juveniles would be
housed over a period of time. The
three Okanogan County commissioners were there, also three commissioners from other counties
who gave a presentation on their
experiences with Martin Hall, a
private, not-for-profit group who
handles juvenile offenders from
nine counties.
A standing-room-only group
of people from all over Okanogan County was there to listen as
the Martin Hall program was explained to us by Lincoln County
Commissioner Scott Hutsell. It
was made very clear at the beginning of the meeting that the audience was free to comment at the
proper time if they had signed for
it, but not to ask questions. The
crowd listened very carefully and
quietly until we reached the comment period.
As I listened to the comments,
one theme kept cropping up: The
people commented over and over
that the distances involved in
keeping “our kids” so far from
home was the last thing our young
people needed. At a time like that,
they needed all the support that
it was possible to give them. We
have our own Okanogan facilities
that provide the same services
right in Okanogan, a site much
more accessible to our county
residents. It was pointed out that
finding transportation for our
families would be very difficult
and in the winter might involve
a stay­over due to road conditions,
making it even more expensive.
Another point brought up was
the loss of jobs in our county if our
present facility were shut down.
Jobs are not all that plentiful in
our county that we can afford
to lose not only the person employed, but their families, and the
money that gets spent right here
at home.
As a former teacher at Nespelem, I can say from experience that any support we can give
“our kids” is vital to prevent them
from spiraling further down the
chain that too often begins with
a first offense, a sentiment that
was echoed over and over. There
was a field of statistics offered on
costs and savings, but they did
not seem to impress the audience.
Mayor Wilder of Coulee Dam was
one of the commentators who
pointed out that any “freebies” in
the Martin Hall program were being paid by somebody, some way,
and we should be skeptical of
them.
There will be another public
meeting on June 14 in Okanogan
in which our own county program
and facilities will be presented
to the public and the Okanogan
County commissioners. I urge you
that if you possibly can attend, to
go and make up your own mind
on the best place for our kids.
The commissioners have the final
say on the decision, but we need
to make our voices heard. That
is how a democracy should work,
but it takes effort on our part to
live up to our responsibilities.
I HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE,
at the County Commissioners Office.
Carol Netzel
Wanted! New Okanogan County commissioners
Sheila Kennedy and Ray
Campbell have both announced
their interest in being reelected as Okanogan County
commissioner.s Given their track
record, we can’t let that happen. So far, Campbell is running
unopposed.
The deadline to declare your
candidacy is this Friday! We need
qualified candidates for District 2
with a sincere interest in addressing the concerns of constituents
and the integrity and business
savvy needed to put our county
back on track.
Candidates must register and
pay the filing fee with the Okanogan Auditor by 4:30 p.m., Friday,
May 20, online at okanogancounty.org. Payment must be made
in cash or by check. Okanogan
County commissioners receive an
annual salary of approximately
$64,500.
Recently, your county govern-
ment has spent large amounts of
time and money engaging in expensive lawsuits, making illegal
decisions they were later forced
to reconsider, and thwarting public participation.
In the past three years:
1) They have attempted to
thwart efforts to provide a public
transportation system in spite of
voters approving funding.
2) Commissioners Campbell
and Kennedy voted to vacate the
Three Devils Road, ignoring the
advice of the hearing examiner
and testimony of over 200 area
residents with concerns about
access to public lands and emergency exit in case of fire.
3) Okanogan County’s top two
economic drivers have historically been farming and ranching,
yet recently, our county commissioners have zoned the majority
of private land in the county for
urban densities rather than agri-
culture. 4) Kennedy and Campbell
are also spending an inordinate
amount of time and money pursuing the transfer of federal lands,
an effort to take the “public” out
of public lands.
5) The Commissioners are currently pushing to shut down local
facilities for juvenile detention
and contracting with a facility in
Spokane — ignoring public outcry and the advice of local judges
and youth advocates.
Help us find a new county
commissioner for our Okanogan
County District 2. Encourage
qualified individuals to run for
county commissioner. For more
information, go to the website for
Represent Okanogan County at

And now some advice
for 2016 grads
Relax. That’s right, I said it. Relax. You have had
a strenuous senior year and you are thinking that
this has been so hard. Note that I said “thinking.” I
use that word because for most
of you, you think the last four
years were the most grueling,
difficult and dramatic times
that will ever be. But, unfortunately, they won’t be. Soon you
will be thinking back, wishing
life were as simple as it was in
Jesse Utz
2016. So relax, and while relaxing do this other “R” word: reflect.
Very soon, you will know
the pressures of adult life, and
that is where things start to get
sticky. Those of you who start
school right away and hit the college campuses will
soon realize that Kelton and Daniels were easy
on you compared to Professor “Real Life” and his
endless notes and impossibly long papers. Those
worker bees who will hit the job force head on will
soon realize that good jobs are hard to come by and
making those paychecks stretch over the entire bill
stack (that you are now responsible for), leaves you
no room for new shoes. And these are just the small
things coming up.
I say relax and reflect because you must know for
certain where you’re going. You don’t have to know
what you’re going to do, but you had better know
where you’re going. While relaxing and reflecting,
come to an understanding with yourself. What do
I enjoy doing and how do I make that work? Don’t
understand yet? Let me explain more. If you love
animals and get a sense of fulfillment working with
them, then you have options. Long-term goals might
include zoology, biology or veterinary careers, but
the short-term might be volunteering at an animal
rescue or veterinary clinic. But be happy in what
you do.
One more thing to add to your “R” list: Relationships, and I am not talking about boyfriends and
girlfriends. I am talking about your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, mentors, pastors and
friends. Cultivate them. Learn from them. Right
now, they have a mountain of experience both good

When tribal leadership incompetence becomes racketeering
It’s one thing to be ignorant of one’s own stupidity and incompetence, but TR 2016-217
rubs it in the face of the Colville Tribal Peoples, a cruel insult to the members of the CCT
who are ashamed, especially, of the criminal
racketeering by Tribal Government. Such
racketeering is a result of the influences
of conspiratorial corruption, cronyism, and
nepotism institutionalized within tribal government, the racket that spans the corporatecouncil relationship.
(Editor’s note: The writer refers to a tribal
resolution passed May 5, approving a loan of
$7.4 million to the Colville Fuels Division to
build a Moses Lake truck stop with money
from a community projects fund from a federal settlement.)
It is important to realize why a council-corporate team violates the major rule of saving
face when a person or a group finds herself
in total error, turning to fraud: “When you
find yourself in a deep hole, stop digging.” The
business failures from one decade to another,
first solely under tribal government (Colville
Business Council [CBC]) then in partner
with Colville Tribal Enterprises Corporation
(CTEC) turned Colville Tribal Federal Corporation (CTFC), just by name changing (capitalist shape-shift) alone, illustrates how tribal
government runs away from liability for these
failures. The transition from CTEC to CTFC
illustrates how attempted liability escape
simply kicks the can down the road rather
than corrects the stupidity, incompetence, and
criminality of the operations and enterprise of
what has become racketeering.
Keep in mind there are a few well-used
tools to sustain the racket. Censorship of criti-
cisms of so-called leaders who orchestrate the
racket has also been orchestrated by two CBC
(one current, one former, yet business partners now) members. The Tribal Tribune (TT)
is now void of criticism, and the letters-to-the
editor policy guides only supportive commentary from members for tribal operations and
enterprise. The other main method for sustaining the racketeering is the intentional
toothless Council Ethics Code controlled solely by the CBC. Bullying dissenters by threats
of job loss and trumped up charges are other
tools used to curry favor for the CBC tribal
administration and policy setting.
So, “where’s the beef”? On the subject of TR
2016-217, “the beef” is that it was required
because the operations and enterprise won’t
stop digging their own hole. The CBC, CTEC,
and CTFC have exhausted their defenses by
all their collective errors which resulted and
continue to result in insurance claims and law
suits. These insurance claims have caused
the insurance rating of the racket to virtually disappear which has resulted in the lowest of low credit rating that even the scams
by the CBC’s political games couldn’t sustain.
No number of ridiculous bought-and-paid-for
“Indian Enterprise of The Year” awards can
overcome the poor credit rating. The corporate failures and government incompetence
reached their points of no return for creditors,
who will no longer extend credit to the corporation. At least the creditors stopped the excavator from digging the hole deeper. TR 2016217 is corporate borrowing of The Peoples’
funds that were formerly asked to be paid out
to The Peoples from “The Settlement” funds.
But no, the CBC’s infinite greed-funded-grift
retained the funds to spend down, and spend
it down they are.
If the corporation was as successful as it
claims at every annual charade under the
name of “The General Membership Meeting,”
such corporation could fund its own growth
rather than borrow from The Peoples’ funds.
To put it another way, where are the “profits”
from the corporation that should be sustaining cash dividends to The Peoples over the
decades? Adding insult to injury, The Peoples
are offered up the public humiliation by an individual actually using this charade as a parlay for congressional campaign in Washington
State’s 5th Congressional District. But, even
this humiliation is leveraged by a perception
that any con can, so we are left with incumbents and candidates clawing and scratching
for the musical chairs of the CBC elections.
Filling the position from one clown to the next
is a pathetic social-cultural tragedy. Yes, we
have our own clown cars to disable. The musical chairs, sadly, embarrassingly, reflect leadership void from necessary constitutional and
operational changes that would benefit The
Peoples and our cultures, and which would
honor, rather than insult and dishonor, our
Ancestors.
And, all the while, capitalist-“privilege”colonizers, settlers, and pirates grin … and
bank it.
Lou Stone
and bad. Learn something from their stories, life
tragedies and triumphs. Take some time this summer and sit down with them over a cup of coffee or
a slice of pie and just talk. Tell
them about your ambitions and
listen to their advice. Calculate it
all into your mind and listen with
your heart. They might surprise
you when you say you want to be
an actor/actress. They may have
had those same aspirations and
might steer you away from the
road blocks that trumped them.
Or they may give you a dose of
reality that sets your mind down
a different path. Keep an open
mind, and cherish the time you
have with loved ones.
There is one more relationship that my failure
to mention would do you a very big disservice — a
relationship with our Savior. I struggled down that
slippery path called life a long time before realizing
that I can do nothing by myself. I am not saying
that even if you are walking with Jesus that hard
times won’t come to you; they will, but once you realize that there is a higher power, a Heavenly Father, walking that same path with you, things take
on a different perspective. You can always rely on
Him. He is there during your worst sins and happiest moments. He does not want you to struggle in
life one more second and wants you to partner with
Him on this journey. Jesus will carry your burdens
for you, but you have to let Him.
A good friend of mine just realized this recently.
Steve had lived a long hard life and was ready to
throw in the towel on many occasions, but Christ
found him when he called out. Really, he had been
there the whole time. Steve just had to grab the outstretched arm and trust. Faith is a big word that
we take for granted a lot of the time, but with it we
can conquer the biggest of challenges in our lives.
Grab hold.
I know most of you will have to live your lives a
while before grasping any of this. I just hope that
you will not have to dig a very deep hole before you
realize that a relationship with God is the most important life lesson any one of us can embrace.

Valeta Bernice Long
Valeta Bernice Long, 89, was
born into the Wellington, Texas
home of Odis B. and
Inez Reasoner on
Saturday, September 12, 1926. Tuesday morning, May
10, 2016, in Grand
Coulee, Washington
,with her beloved
husband, Fred, by
her side to say farewell, Valeta gently departed this
world to be with her
Savior Lord Jesus
Christ in Heaven.
Following
her
graduation from high school Valeta Reasoner worked as a waitress
in Kirkland, Washington. On
January 1, 1946, Fred R. Long,
had just been discharged from

beauty working there. Just three
months later, Tuesday, April 2,
1946, found Fred and Valeta
standing before a preacher in the
minister’s Juanita, Washington
home, embarking on a journey
together as husband and wife,
which would last over 70 years.
As well as being a waitress, Valeta

for the school district in Spokane,
Washington. She and Fred lived
at their Grand Coulee home for
23 years and they attended Faith

Washington. Valeta
enjoyed
growing
vegetables and flowers but her greatest
joy was always being
with her children.
In Fred’s words,
“She was the most
beautiful…best wife
in the world for me!”
Valeta’s
legacy
lives on through her
husband and love
of her life: Fred R.
Long of Grand Coulee; son, David Long (Lois) of Connecticut;
daughter, Cathy Ward (David)
of Florida; grandchild, Adrenne
Deck (Damien); great-grandchild,
Sophia Deck of Connecticut; and
Valeta’s brother, Jerry Reasoner

passion for the theater. Steve
appeared on stage as the King
in “The King & I,” Shem in “The
Peach Tree” and Big Daddy in
“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” (for which
Steve garnered especially rave reviews), to name just a few. Steve’s
greatest love, though was always

buddies: Dominic and Harley.

Many Raiders named to
2B North all-league squads
By John R. McNeil II
Lake
Roosevelt’s
baseball
and softball teams had several
members named to the Central
Washington 2B North All League
squads last week.
Khani Priest was named to the
First Team softball squad. Priest
was a big part of the Lady Raiders’ turnaround season.
Sean Garvin was named to the
second team. Garvin will be a big
part of the Lady Raiders’ future
as the team looks to build on the
success from this season.
Senior Lachelle Bearcub and
junior Tristen Adolph each were
given an honorable mention.
Bearcub has been a big feature
for the Lady Raiders and leaves
some big shoes to fill next season.
Adolph continued to be a consistent player for the Lady Raiders.
The Raider baseball team had
three named to the first team. Senior Devan Black was named to
the first team for great play during the season. Black looks forward to trying to play after high
school.
Senior Chance Garvin was also
named to the first team for his
play. Garvin will be going to Idaho to walk on the basketball team
this fall. Junior Tyrell Kiser was
named to first team for his great
pitching.
Senior Taren Redstar was
named to the second team. Freshmen Kolby Picard was named to
the honorable mention list. Head
Coach Billy Nicholson was named
co-coach of the year, along with
Todd Phillips of Brewster. This
was a first for a Raider coach in
many years.
appearance.
The 2016 season was Lake Roosevelt’s the seventh straight winning season.
Looking to next year, there are
a lot of question marks for the
Raiders. Seven of the eleven who
played this season are graduating.
Many of those seniors have been
big contributors for the squad for
the past four seasons.
Another uncertainty is whether LR will have enough players
turning out to have a team.
For now, the Raiders will look
back on the success they had this
season with 16 wins and seven
losses, including postseason, and
consider how to build on their successes for the future.
and for whom the season would be
over.
Lake Roosevelt’s doubles team
of Jordan Charles and John
Drapela will advance to districts
as a number-four seed.
Head Coach Steve Archer said
he was proud of how Charles and
Drapela played, especially in Saturday’s final match.
“The match against Entiat was
an up-and-down affair, with the
first two sets being won decisively, one set for each team,” Archer
said. “In the third and deciding
set, Jordan’s leg cramped up and
he needed a 10-minute injury
time out.”

Five tracksters
move on to districts
By John R. McNeil II
Five members of the Raider
boys’ track team qualified from
the sub-district competition May
11 to this Saturday’s district meet
in Ephrata.
At the sub-district level last
week at Oroville, the Okanogan
Bulldogs won both the boys’ and
girls’ titles.
For the Raiders, Nathaniel
Hall advanced in the 100-meter dash, finishing fourth with a
personal-record time of 11.71 seconds. Robert George advanced in
the 110-meter high hurdles, finishing fifth in 18.35 seconds.
In field events, Nathan Morrell moved on to districts in discus, taking fifth by throwing 115
feet, 9 inches. Matthew and Cameron Tillman each qualified in the
pole vault, with Cameron Tillman
earning the sub-district champion title by clearing a PR height
of 9 feet. Matthew Tillman placed
4th, clearing 8 feet, 6.25 inches.
No Raider girls at Oroville
qualified for districts, but Jonell
Denschel closed the season by
throwing a PR in the javelin of 56
feet, 8 inches. Marisha Hobrecht
also closed the season by throwing 60 feet in the discus, also a
PR.
Keianna Vera ran a PR in the
100-meter in 14.63 seconds. Madeline Piccolo also ran a PR in the
100, finishing at 15.32 seconds. At
Ephrata on Saturday, the Raiders
will be competing against all the
2B schools in both districts 6 and
5. All races and field events are
considered finals, as only eight
will be competing in each event.
The top four in each event will
move on to the state 2B meet at
Eastern Washington University

later and taken some prescription
medicine and $400 in cash.

Lake address, who was stopped
for going over the center line and
nearly hitting a patrol car, allegedly gave a false name at first and

and the officer is asking that lying to a police officer be added to
charges.

on Stevens Avenue in Electric
City where the water had been

officer and being in possession of
a dangerous weapon will be added to the woman’s other problems.

officer, having no valid driver’s license and having an open alcohol
container in the vehicle.

was cited for driving with a suspended license and for not having
insurance after being pulled over
on Burdin Boulevard.
- An Electric City man, who
had been cited numerous times
for driving while his license was

report is handled. The man broke
his leg the day before, he said, so
a friend came to drive him home.

police that a neighbor had seven
dogs and they were barking nonstop. The officer drove the area
but couldn’t hear dogs barking.
- Police checked on a report
that there was an intoxicated person on highway 174, near the edge
of the city. He became belligerent
when asked questions and police
told him to stay off the road. Later, the same man had made seven
911 calls and the officer returned.
The man stated then that he had
been trying to call his mother. The
officer made the call for him, but
the man’s mother refused to take
the call because her son had earlier threatened her. The man was
told again to stay off the road.

not being able to provide registration. She was taken to Grant
County Jail.
- A man who told police he
was a professional hitch hiker
was banned from Jack’s Spring
Canyon Service because he was
scaring customers and refused to
leave when asked to. The officer
told him he had two choices — either leave or go to jail. He said he
would walk. He cursed the officer
and walked away, flipping the officer off. The officer then gave the
man a ride to Lincoln County and
told him he could catch the bus in
about 35 minutes. He told the officer that he didn’t ride buses.
