Car wash to
benefit team
The Lake Roosevelt Raiders
will hold a car wash Saturday
from 11:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. at
the NCNB bank parking lot. Go
Raider, clean cars.
Picnic date
changed
A community-type picnic for
Coulee Dam and Elmer City residents scheduled for Aug. 24, has
been rescheduled for Sept. 21,
organizer Gloria Carroll said Monday. The delay will allow more
candidates in the local election to
attend, she said.
Purpose of the gathering is to
give residents of the two towns an
opportunity to know each other
better, and for candidates in the
mayoral and city council races to
have an opportunity to speak.
The potluck get together will be
held at Douglas Park in Coulee
Dam, beginning at noon. Residents of the two two are invited,
as well as other interested parties.
SERVING THE GRAND COULEE DAM AREA, WASHINGTON STATE
State won’t fund smaller sewer plant project
by Roger S. Lucas
Coulee Dam’s wastewater treatment project is apparently dead, at
least for now.
The town’s plan to build a $4.92
million plant was derailed by objections from town residents, and
the council’s decision to go for a
less expensive first phase was shot
down by the state Department of
Ecology.
Council members appeared
stunned last Wednesday night
when a letter from the DOE, the
lending agency, stated that the
town’s interest in a scaled down
project was denied.
“To change the scope of a funded
project after it has gone through
a statewide competitive process
of scoring and ranking, Ecology
must make a determination of
how the new proposal might have
fared during that previous ranking process,” DOE Water Quality
Section Manager Charlie McKinney explained in a letter. “This is
a subjective decision and it can be
questioned and challenged by entities that did not receive an award
because they were ranked below
the cutoff for available funding.”
McKinney went on to say: “In
Coulee Dam’s case it is questionable that an application based on
the phased project would have
scored as high as the original application, and possibly not high
enough to be ranked within the
list of funded projects.”
The town council awaits a full
explanation of the denial from the
DOE, forthcoming in a few days.
Activist Greg Wilder, whose opposition to the way Coulee Dam
has planned the project, is a candidate for mayor.
He has maintained all along
that the town’s engineering firm,
Gray & Osborne, didn’t do an alternative analysis of the project, determining if the location and scope
of the wastewater treatment plant
proposal was what the towns being
served needed, or even wanted.
Wilder has suggested that a
possible relocation of the plant site
might allow a regional approach to
the wastewater treatment need,
Radio free
coulee
The town of Coulee Dam voted
last Wednesday to allow Mt.
Tolman Fire Center the use of its
radio frequency so that it could
have better communications
between agencies and enhance
mutual aid operations in the
areas around and within a 15-mile
radius of Coulee Dam.
Pot moratorium
extended
Electric City council voted a
12-month extension of its moratorium on establishing marijuana
gardens and dispensaries.
A public hearing on the extension will be held at 5:45 p.m.,
Sept. 10, just 15 minutes before
the city’s regular council meeting.
Book signing
planned for
Saturday
Arnie Marchand will have a
book signing at the Colville Tribal
Museum from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.,
Saturday, Aug. 24.
He will sign his first book, “The
Way I Heard It”, which retells
stories from Okanogan County as
you travel through time. The book
includes stories of places and
events in Indian Country.
involving Elmer City and areas
beyond. That has never been
determined, Wilder stated to the
council. A thorough alternative
analysis would determine that, he
has maintained all along.
The next step for the council is
to decide whether it wants to essentially start the process all over, and
begin by ordering a comprehensive
alternative analysis. This would
clear the way on location, scope,
and whether the plant should have
regional possibilities. The decision
to wait until the upcoming mayor’s
race between Wilder and present
Mayor Quincy Snow is concluded
could provide some time for the
issue to rest until the project can
get a full review.
Indian Health Services and the
Colville Tribes have an interest in
the project, but have stated that
an alternatives analysis must be
done before they would pursue
participation.
The town, in its request for an
abbreviated project, stated that it
would complete items in its tierone list, then do the rest of the
project later. The DOE didn’t like
this approach and stated: “The
town’s recent proposal indicates
the modified phased approach
would also be more expensive
in overall project costs from the
original, approved project design.
… all the deficiencies identified
in the town’s wastewater facility
plan should be addressed within
one construction project.”

Triathlon eyeing
the future
Dana Barkdull, of Trifreaks, is
getting ready to stage the area’s
10th annual triathlon next month.
The event takes about 150
volunteers to be successful, and
reaching that number has been
a perpetual problem in recent
years. Barkdull said she has
brought on the Spokane chapter
of the USO as a sponsor and
hopes to gain more volunteers
from that association.
How well the volunteer response goes this year will likely
determine the future of the event,
she said at a chamber of commerce luncheon in Grand Coulee
Thursday. She would like to see
the event worked into a “racecation” that draws families to
the area for a week or more and
encourages them to come back.
Registrations are on track with
last year’s levels, she noted, expecting about 325 athletes from
as far away as Australia.

Guiding girders in place
A crane lowers the cap into place on the elementary school portion of the new K-12 school building project Monday. A
worker at the top of the structure helps guide the girder in place. A number of activities, including pouring concrete,

same time. — Roger S. Lucas photo
Complaints of brown water and
chlorine smells in Electric City’s
water supply brought a large number of residents to the city council
meeting Aug. 13.
Lillian and Jay Sooter, of 103
Sunset Drive, questioned the city’s
response to brown water from
their tap and a smell of chlorine
so strong that they had to use
bottled water.
Jay Sooter said the smell of chlorine was so bad that he couldn’t
take his pills with city water.
Ted Christianson, who also
lives on Sunset, said he had to
buy bottled water to drink and to
cook with. He asked the council if
the city was going to reimburse
people for the expense of purchasing bottled water.
Mayor Jerry Sands systematically took the 20 people who
showed up through the ordeal
the city has gone through with its
arsenic treatment plant.
The city has been trying to get
its arsenic treatment plant on line
for some time. At first the brown
water problem was dismissed by
the Department of Health, as they
reassured the city that it was OK
to drink. The city tried to sell that
to local residents to no avail.
Then the Department of Health
shut the system down until the city
could solve the problem.
Workers found that a float in
a settlement tank was partly to
blame, and fixed it.
The system was started up
again but the problem persisted.
It was a strange twist as some
residents reported clear water
with no chlorine smell, while others reported the opposite.
Sands assured residents that a
chemical reaction with the limited
amount of chlorine used would
eventually clear up.
The city got trapped in putting
in the million-dollar-plus arsenic
treatment plant because its water
would not meet the new federal
drinking water standard. The feds
had changed the threshold from
50 parts of arsenic per billion to
10 parts per billion. Electric City’s
groundwater naturally runs from
13-17 parts per billion, just over
the new standard.
The city had pleaded for an
exemption because tests were so
close, but it was refused.
Now some residents are upset
and wonder how long the brown
water and chlorine smell will
continue.
Chamber pitches aggressive
Bank to close Friday
tourism campaign
by Roger S. Lucas
Chamber of commerce Manager Peggy Nevsimal
presented an aggressive promotion program for 2014
to the Electric City council last Tuesday night.
Electric City, as well as Grand Coulee and Coulee
Dam, finances part of the chamber’s tourism promotion activities with hotel/motel taxes collected for
that purpose.
Nevsimal outlined a $62,000 promotion schedule
for the upcoming year, nearly double the chamber’s
$34,000 promotional efforts in 2013.
She pointed out that lodging establishments are
70 percent empty in the winter and 20 percent empty
during the summer months.
Part of the chamber’s aggressive plan is to shore
up the shoulder season, during marginal occupancy
months, and to help fill in midweek stays during July
and August.
The new plan includes all forms of media advertising — broadcast, print and Internet advertising and
website development.
Nevsimal pointed out that this year’s aggressive
promotion of the Colorama Festival showed attendance and revenue increased of 27 percent. A Harvest
Festival is being planned for Sept. 14, a new festival
this year.
Nevsimal will be making similar presentations to
the Grand Coulee and Coulee Dam councils so they
can get their participating contributions in their
2014 budgets.
Bear visits town
by Roger S. Lucas
A bear that wandered into
Coulee Dam caused a little
excitement for occupants of the
Columbia View Apartments and
later for residents on Tilmus
Street.
Police got the call from dispatch center about a bear near
the apartment complex, but
when police got there it had
moved on to Tilmus.
Robert Loch, who resides at
1137 Tilmus, advised police that
the bear was in his backyard.
Police described the bear as a
“large black bear.”
Police were joined by a tribal
officer who requested a tribal
resource officer be called to deal
with the bear.
The resource officer then
called Jarred Erickson, a dog
handler with the Fish and Wildlife Department, to use his dogs
to dispatch the bear.
Erickson’s dogs chased the
bear from the area.

Bank of America will close its Coulee Dam branch at 4 p.m., Friday,
Aug. 23.
The move was announced by B of A some months ago.
News that Washington Federal had purchased 51 of the branches
being closed by Bank of America in the state brought temporary hope
to local customers, but that was quickly dashed.
The Bank of America ATM machine is also on the way out.
A spokesman for the Duclos family, owners of the building, said
Monday that the B of A machine will not remain. The office space is
available for rent.
Calls to Bank of America’s public information office have not been
returned, so additional information prior to deadline was not availablle.
New vessel up and running
at the Keller Ferry
by Roger S. Lucas
An Electric City couple was the
first to board the new Keller Ferry,
the Sanpoil, last Wednesday when
it made its inaugural trip between
Lincoln and Ferry County connecting SR-21.
Lowell and Birdie Hensley were
among some 200 people who gathered near the ferry to see Sanpoil
elder Jeanne Jarred break the
traditional bottle of champagne
against the hull. This time the
bottle was full of a non-alcohol
beverage.
The Sanpoil pieces were trucked
to Crescent Bay in Grand Coulee
for assembly and testing. Scores
of local residents watched the
Sanpoil rise out of a pile of aluminum pieces to become the 116-foot,
silver-colored ferry now plying the
waters of Lake Roosevelt.
The old ferry, the Martha S, in
service since 1948, was retired
about five weeks ago, after making thousands of successful trips
across the Columbia. Ferry service
in the meantime ceased as contractors revamped the docking areas
on both sides of the river to accom-
modate the new ferry.
How do the ferry workers like
the new Sanpoil? One worker,
Tyler Best, said Thursday, “It’s
great.”
All are going through a learning curve, working the limited
wrinkles out.
The 116-foot vessel runs smoother through the water, hardly displaying any bobbing in the water.
It can carry two semi rigs plus 12
cars, or a total of 20 cars.

Grand Coulee’s bomb dog retiring
by Roger S. Lucas
Grand Coulee Police Department’s “bomb” dog Potter is being
retired.
Potter is handled by police officer Sean Cook, the second dog
handled by him since he has been
in the department.
The city council Tuesday night
passed a resolution declaring the
dog surplus after nearly nine years
service here. Potter and Cook have
answered calls all over the United
States, even once going to provide
cover at a PGA golf tournament at
Pebble Beach, Calif.
Potter was present at the council meeting, and made the rounds
greeting Mayor Chris Christopherson, City Clerk Carol Boyce and all
the council members.
The retirement comes both because of Potter’s age and the fact
that the Bureau of Reclamation
is not going to fund a dog in the
current ongoing negotiations with
local law enforcement agencies.
The resolution retiring and
surplusing Potter allows for her
handler to keep her as a household
pet. Officer Cook quickly agreed to
keep Potter.
Asked if he would miss having
Potter as part of his duties, Cook
said, “Yes, wouldn’t you like to take
your dog to work with you?”
Cook and Potter were recently
called to the Grant County Airport
where there was a reported bomb
threat. Potter didn’t react positively to the site. Potter is the only
bomb trained dog in Grant County.
Cook said at the time that Potter
is trained to respond to multiple
compounds used in making explosive devices.
Cook got Potter nine years ago
when the dog was just a year old.
The two trained together at an
ATF site in Front Royal, Va., for
12 weeks.
The light tan Labrador is hanging it up, so to speak, as of Sept. 1,
to become a household pet.
Previously, Cook had Wiley, a
drug dog, that was in the department for a number of years.
Wiley was returned for continuing service as a drug dog.
Police Chief Mel Hunt said that
nine or 10 years is the maximum
term for a K-9 officer, regardless of
the type of service it is in.
Cook houses Potter and trains
the dog an hour each day.

Letters to the Editor
Consolidation editorial struck home
You can’t realize how pleased I was to read your
editorial this week. It was Rod’s dream that all of
the small communities might join together to make
a stronger town (or should it be city?) which would
benefit everyone living in the area. He had arranged
for a special grant, hiring a research group from (I
think it was WSU) who researched all the possibilities and benefits which could be had.
I believe there was a vote on it, but the lack of
desire to change by a great majority of the communities made it impossible to spend more time and
money trying to convince the people at that time to
consider the benefits.
Rod was very proud of the area and worked very
hard to improve the living standards for all of you. I
am sure if he were still with us he would be thrilled
to hear what is happening at this time.
I have enjoyed reading The Star and hearing all
that is going on. I wish much improvement and happier living for each and all of you. I do miss my involvement in the Grand Coulee Dam area and would
love to be able to come to visit more frequently.
Having lived in 18 towns before I arrived in Coulee
Dam, where I graduated from the Mason City High
School in 1947, I lived there for 61 years before retiring with Rod to The Riverview Retirement Homes
here in Spokane.
Good luck and God be with each and all of you
as you gather together in an effort to improve your
lifestyles.

Power lines are killing birds
Sadly, this morning, I found yet another causality of the high tension power lines that cross over
North Dam Park. Since I’ve been walking the area,
about eight or nine months, I’ve witnessed three
bird fatalities. The first was a dead Canada goose,
second was a dead gull species and today, a night
hawk. Though still alive and breathing heavily, it
was obviously in bad shape. I moved it into the grass
and off the gravel road. My observations are, at best,
casual. Interestingly, all the birds were in the same
general area too. Of course evidence and proof are important;
however, the circumstantial evidence is very strong:
dead or dying birds of various species, showing no
physical injuries, on the ground below high tension
power lines.
Here is what Sibley Guides states about this issue: “First, it should be stated that the single most
significant threat to bird populations is habitat
destruction, in all of its forms and with all of its
causes. High tension line collisions may kill up to 174
million birds per year. This figure extrapolates from
European studies to the millions of miles of aerial
wires in North America. There are very few data in
North America.”
There continues to be a lot of media chatter about
wind generators and bird mortality, yet, not much
“looking back” at other parts of the nation’s electric
power system such as high tension power lines and
their effects on birds. From research I’ve done, there
are simple things that can be done. Here’s what a
respected site, Conservation Evidence, a website
based at the University of Cambridge in the United
Kingdom states: “A total of studies and two literature
reviews from across the world found that marking
power lines led to significant reductions in collision
rates or dangerous flight behavior…” So, it would appear that this is a problem that can be corrected.

Corrections due on Ryan Hunt article
Sir, appreciate the article you wrote on my brother’s and my behalf. However, I wanted to make you
aware of a couple of mistakes in the article. I apologize
for any confusion on my part.
1. In regards to my deployment history: I have
deployed to Iraq twice and Afghanistan twice. The
way paragraph three reads is unclear potentially to
some readers.
2. I never received the second Bronze Star Meritoriously for being a team leader of an 18-man team. I
received the second Bronze Star with Valor for actions
against enemy forces as a Company Commander in
2011.
3. There is a big difference between receiving an
award like that Meritoriously compared to one for
Valor. Both awards you stated said they were for
meritorious action. I have been awarded one bronze
star Meritoriously and one for Valor.
If you could please post these corrections in the
next issue of the star newspaper I would be very appreciative. Once again I apologize for any confusion
on my part.
Capt. Ryan M. Hunt
Push for change on reservation
An article on the front page of the just-out Tribal
Tribune (The Administration Building) recounts
words of past tribal council Chairman Mel Tonasket.
The article began: “This is a simple message...” That
article went on to further quote Chairman Tonasket:
“The message is simply to walk with pride and to hold
your head up high, for we have survived 100 years of
oppression, depression, paternalism, discrimination,
and internal conflicts.” Little did Chairman Tonasket
suspect that those very words would still apply to
the Colville Confederated Tribes some 40 years later;
but, now it applies to CCT in a whole new perspective
as our governmental system has moved wholly from
better days of democratic governance to the current
autocratic, destructive dictatorship that it is today.
“Walk with pride and to hold your head up high...” -How can the Colville tribal peoples even think of this,
as recent past council/current council has literally
made a mockery of the Colville Confederated Tribes
across America in cocktail lounges, and it continues
as our current chair outright lies to news media:
‘Admin bldg. fire an accident’... as did our previous
chair put out false news media release: ‘193 petition
denied...council moves on...’
OPPRESSION: Our Colville peoples, rez, administration, elders, youth ... have truly been used/abused
through oppressive governance driven through greed,
personal agenda and complete anti-membership nontransparency. DEPRESSION: In more ways than
one, our Colville tribal peoples have indeed suffered
depression; fiscally/economically, mental abuse ...
just due to frustrations in trying to cope with the
misdirected/mismanaged council operatives.
PATERNALISM: The paternalism of our council to
the constituent tribal peoples most certainly matches
that of the historical white societal paternalistic
demeanor toward Indian Country and the Indian
peoples across America. DISCRIMINATION: This
has been only too obvious whereby personal agenda
and/or personal gain leaned towards nepotism,
buddy-buddy favor, familial gain.
INTERNAL CONFLICT: In the recent past, present, and even in the immediate future projections,
YES, internal conflict shall reign supreme — until
change is realized and affected for the Colville tribes.
What more can I say, my friends, Colville tribal
brothers/sisters? Change is still in order and, yes,

Turtles, moose and bear, Oh my!
Living in Coulee Country can surprise you sometimes. During the last few weeks I was reminded that
we do live in the country. Maybe not extreme rural
America, but we do have the luxury of seeing some
wild critters in our back yards, or if we take a little
drive and keep our eyes open we can see some real
special creatures.
Since hunting season is just around
the corner, I have been doing some
driving around to see what kind of
deer are roaming around. On one of
these trips Karrie and I came across
what we thought at first was a lone
wild turkey. Since they are prevalent
Jesse Utz
here in Coulee area it was not a big
deal, but as I kept my eyes on it I realized its head was not the right shape
and we stopped to get a better look.
It was an owl, sitting under the only
tree for miles in this area. With further investigation
we decided it was a Barred Owl, which usually likes
forested areas. We determined with the recent storms
he probably got blown this way from across the river.
Or swam (right Karrie?).
The next day I was out watering our plants and
noticed the cats (Nova, Camaro, and Chevelle) stalking something in the yard. It was a turtle. A large
Painted Turtle. So if any of you watch Animal Planet
you know it was time for “Live Action.” Karrie got her
camera and I got a plastic storage bin and we did our
best imitation of the Turtle Man. (The video will not
be shown do to a cowardly act from one individual
that was present during filming.) We later learned
that the turtles commonly leave the Cresent Bay
area looking for places to lay eggs. We relocated L.A.
(Live Action) back to the water and he/she seemed
Jess,
shut up!
more than happy to be wet again.
Later that week we went on a huckleberry expedition and found more critters than we did purple
gold nuggets. As a side note, the yellow jackets are
just as aggressive in the mountains. We watched a
cow moose for about 20 minutes on the way up the
mountain. Along with a long
legged jack rabbit and a few
grouse. On the way down, we
saw a very blond bear cub and
a great grey owl. Not to mention, the moose was back in
her swampy area and did not
seem to mind us this time.
Of course there were a lot
of deer sitings during the
scouting trips. I will say this
about that: There are a lot of
big, two-point bucks out there
this year. I mean big bucks. They just won’t be legal
unless they grow more points. On one more side note,
I did get my first coyote, and I called him in. It was
pretty cool.
Sometimes I am just in awe of our area, and I
think we take it for granted sometimes. Whether
your a hunter, photographer, or just a nature lover,
we have an abundance of critters out there. There
are few places in the world where you can drive
less than a hundred miles round trip and see such
a variety. From elk to bear, wolves to coyotes, eagles
to owls and lots, lots more. Sometimes in our back
yard, sometimes on the road. This truly is a paradise
to live in when we adjust our eyes the right way. If
you adjust your eyes just right you might even see
Bigfoot. I’m just saying.
Coulee Recollections
Ten Years Ago
A tense situation came to a
peaceful conclusion last Thursday
as a Coulee Dam girl, who was
feared missing returned safely.
Approximately 40 minutes after
Tonya Timentwa reported that
her 4 year-old daughter Alahna
Timentwa was missing, the girl
returned to the 1101 Camas Street
home.
A Grand Coulee Dam Area
woman cut off four of her fingers
and was still able to drive herself
to Coulee Community Hospital
for assistance. CR Lumber owner
Cindy Corpe said the accident occurred on July 26 while she was
cutting stakes for the Mt. Tolman
Fire Control Center.

Thirty Years Ago
Plans are underway to develop
a golf course out in the Coulee
Grande area, which was recently
purchased by Grant County Port
District No. 7.
The GCD Area Chamber of
Commerce is making plan for its
fifth annual community picnic.
In Electric City the town
council is looking into a grant to
reactivate the Palmer well for use
as a backup well for the town.
The LRHS class of 1973

changed male; Mike Bute for most
changed male; and Sharon Olson
for traveling the farthest (from
Vermont).

Four young men from Coulee
Dam have graduated from recruit
training at the Naval Training
Center in San Diego. They include
Navy Fireman Recruits Robert J.
Hullett and Roy E. Golden. Navy

According to information
from the office of Senator Henry
M. Jackson, President John F.
Kennedy is considering a visit
to Grand Coulee Dam in Sep-
tember.
Mr. and Mrs. Earl Brittain

School buildings in the Grand
Coulee system have had a facelifting during he summer vacation
months. The custodial staff has
been busy getting the facilities
in readiness for the new school
year. Center School has been completely repainted, while all desks
and tables have been sanded and
varnished. The high school has
received new paint also; and the
roof of the gym has been recoated
with asphalt. Floors in the school
in Electric City have been given a
new coat of varnish.
Sixty Years Ago
At their regular meeting Thursday, the Grand Coulee Chamber of
Commerce passed a resolution
to petition the superintendent
of the Colville Indian Agency in
setting aside a block of timber on
the reservation for use of the local
sawmill.
A change in the organization
at Coulee Dam has gone into effect since the town of Coulee Dam
will be segregated from the power
division and will become a municipality independently governed and
no longer meshed with the Bureau
in the new division.
Unless the Bureau of Reclamation can come up with a satisfactory solution in the townsite
problem they created at Grand
Coulee Dam, the agency is going
to be the object of skepticism and
suspicion by residents of future
project areas.

Martha Finch
Martha Finch, age 95, of Hayden,
Idaho, (formerly of Grand Coulee, Washington) passed away at
Hayden Valley Assisted Living, on
Thursday, August 8, 2013. Martha
Eliszibetha Hirsch Mundt Finch
was born at her family’s homestead, Crow Rock Dawson County,
Montana, north of Miles City
to Jacob and Anna Margaretha
(Redman) Hirsch on May 31, 1918.
Martha grew up on the homestead,
the fifth of ten siblings
On December 20, 1946, she
married Boyd Douglas Finch in
Boise, Idaho. During their 39-year
marriage they resided north of
Grand Coulee, Washington, where
they ranched and farmed. Martha
and Boyd had one daughter Colleen (Finch) Denning. Martha
completed the eighth grade, after
which she was sent out to work.
While in Miles City she had various jobs; in the Chinese laundry,
as a live-in housekeeper/cook for
a ranch family, and as a waitress.
She decided to go to high school
and finish her education; however,
her employer said she would lose
her job - he didn’t think anyone
could work and go to school at the
same time. Her education plans
were again put aside.
Martha lived in San Luis
Obispo, California, during WWII
and was a civilian driver for the
Army. She chauffeured officers
and drove truck. She also lived in
Astoria, Oregon, and worked in
a fish cannery (for a day, and decided it was not for her); She then
worked in a lumber mill pulling
boards from the planer and was
promoted to counter for boards
coming off the planer. After working again in Miles City, she eventually settled in Grand Coulee,
Washington, working as a cook at
the Wild Life Restaurant. She met
her husband Boyd at the Wild Life,
when he sent a good tip to the gal
who cooked his steak! In addition
to being a full-time ranch wife,
helping with the livestock, she
also milked cows, raised 500 layer
chickens and sold milk, cream and
eggs to Darigold in the 1950’s. She
also worked at various restaurants
in Grand Coulee in the late 1950s
through the 1970s. Her final job
before retirement was planning
and preparing meals at the Grand
Coulee Senior Center. She was a
member of Zion Lutheran Church,
the U.S. government, they moved
to Auburn Wash. in 1968, where
Audrey taught third grade and
also assisted the University of
Puget Sound faculty with student
teaching. Henry returned to teaching mathematics and German at
Maple Valley, Wash. Again Audrey
and Hank were very involved in
community, sports, and church
activities.
A memorial for friends and family to celebrate Audrey’s life will
be held at 11a.m. on Aug. 24 at
the Auburn First United Methodist Church (100 N St SE, Auburn,
WA 98002)

she is rejoicing!”
the Eagles Lodge
and Women’s Professional Rodeo Assn.;
she lead a troop of
Brownies and helped
with Girl Scouts
and was involved in
Ridge Riders. During retirement, she
volunteered at the
Grand Coulee Senior Center. Martha
had a desire for adventure, lived life
fully and enjoyed her
life-long friends. She
was always willing
to help someone in
need, whether they
were family, friend,
neighbor or stranger. She was
athletic and enjoyed pastimes of
hunting (she was crack shot with
a rifle), bowling, rodeoing, fishing
and camping. Martha participated
in the Women’s Rodeo Assn. during
the 1960s, clowning the rodeos
and entering various events. She
was an excellent seamstress, upholsterer, and leather worker. She
had a natural talent for drawing
and enhanced her talent with oil
painting classes, resulting in the
gifting of many of her paintings
to family and friends. Martha was
widowed in 1985 and moved to
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, in 1998 to be
near her daughter, son-in-law and
granddaughter. She resided at the
Loyalton retirement and assisted
living community from January,
1999, to July, 2008. She moved to
Life Care Center of Coeur d’Alene
in July, 2008, to September, 2011.

Q: I have a treadle operated
Singer sewing machine in an oak
cabinet from about 1925. I understand these have become very
popular with collectors. What is
mine worth? -- Bill, Tyler, Texas
A: Singer sewing machines
were hot with collectors a decade

more or less declined. Most Singers

Q: I was a big fan of Ronald
Reagan, and in 1981 purchased
a Carltonware "Spitting Image"
coffee pot with his likeness. Even
though I often visit antiques malls
and shops, I have not seen another
one like it. I have been offered $150
for it by a collector. My big question
is whether I should sell it for that
amount or keep it. -- Deborah, Sun
City West, Ariz.
A: Your ceramic coffee pot was
designed by Fluck and Law and
was so popular that knock-offs
also were produced. If your pot is
genuine, it is worth in the $350 to
$650 range. Since most modern
political campaigns are television
driven, souvenirs have become less
common, especially items such as
your coffee pot. Humor and satire
have been an important part of
our political campaigns, and that
is what makes your pot so unique
and collectible. One of the better
groups for enthusiasts is American
