SERVING THE GRAND COULEE DAM AREA, WASHINGTON STATE

SEPTEMBER 23, 2015

Loosening city pot law proposed

Newsbriefs Ambulance busy

Grand Coulee’s ambulance made 40 calls during August, Fire Chief Richard Paris reported at the last city council meeting. Six of the calls were in Coulee Dam, 25 in Grand Coulee and nine were transports between medical facilities. He also reported that the volunteer fire department made two onealarm calls, one mutual-aid call and one run into Lincoln County. Trucks and personnel from the department assisted in wildland fires in Okanogan County and on the Colville Reservation.

Senior center parking restricted

There are new parking restrictions in front of the Grand Coulee Dam Senior Center. These were outlined by striping recently and can be enforced by the police department. Fines for violating the restrictions could be as high as $450, senior officials indicated.

The Delano Regional Transfer Station is over $27,924 ahead of last year for the same period in revenues, according to a report the Regional Board of Mayors received at their meeting a week ago. So far this year the revenue at the transfer station is $307,287. The mayors meet again for their October meeting at 4 p.m., Oct. 13.

PTA needs to narrow the options The Grand Coulee Dam ParentTeacher Association (PTA) will hold its first meeting of the school year from 6-7 p.m.,Tuesday, Sept. 29, at the Elementary School Cafeteria. PTA officials have announced that the Missoula Children’s Theater presentation of “Rumplestilskin” will be produced here in March. The public is invited to attend for a discussion of PTA programs for the year. “We have a list of 15+ suggestions that need to be narrowed down to what is doable,” said Kim Stout of the PTA. “Some things are for the Elementary, others are for the High School and a few are for the whole school.” She said the organization would welcome input.

Couple interested in school purchase Mayors by Roger S. Lucas

A Grand Coulee couple has indicated an interest in purchasing Center School and its property. Mervin and MaryJo Monteith, who represent the North American Wool Cooperative, told Grand Coulee city officials last week that they will seek a rezone of the Center School property so they can purchase it for a fiber mill and education center. The Monteiths have an alpaca operation in Lincoln County and also own an airplane parts operation in Grand Coulee that supplies small parts for both commercial and military operations. The Grand Coulee couple will appear be-

Grand Coulee’s wastewater treatment plant was awarded a plaque from the Environmental Protection Agency for meeting all requirements and getting all its reports filed on time. Accepting the award at the city’s last council meeting was Gary Abbott. Grand Coulee was one of 13 plants in Grant County to receive the 2014 award.

fore Grand Coulee’s planning commission at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 14. The couple said they see their operation developing in three stages, employing from 1030 people locally during the first three phases with an eventual employment base of 37-47 jobs. Their Eco Fiber Mill concept would be nonprofit, and the Monteiths will seek some type of zoning where they can have light fiber product manufacturing, taking otherwise wasted wool and fiber from around the county and state and turning it into products that provide society with useful items. The 8.3 acres of Center School property is currently zoned as R-1, a designation that only allows for low-density, single-family resi-

dential use. Recently, the Grand Coulee Dam School District advertised the building and property for sale, but found no takers. Superintendent Dennis Carlson said that he provided the couple with a recent tour of the building. The district will not have to re-advertise the property for sale, Carlson said, and can proceed with a sale as long as the price is acceptable to the school board. The district purchased the building and property in October 2014 from the Continental Land Company for $155,000 and since has spent $10,000 to get the building and property appraised. That appraisal came in at $190,000.

Auditions open for upcoming show

Soap Lake Masquers Theatre is holding auditions for their Christmas show “Christmas in the Land of Oz,” Friday, Oct. 2, at 7 p.m., and Saturday, Oct. 3 at 2 p.m. All ages are needed. The Wicked Witch of the West becomes the Grinch of this holiday play when she steals Christmas from Munchkinland. It takes all the Oz favorites — Dorothy and Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, the Lion, and the Munchkins to bring the yuletide holiday back. In the process, the Tin Man recovers his sense of humor, the lonely Lion finds a lady companion, and Dorothy finds the spirit of Christmas to take back to Kansas for Auntie Em and Uncle Henry. Show dates are scheduled for Dec. 4–11 at 7 p.m. and December 5, 6, 12 & 13 at 2 p.m.

Grand Coulee came very close last week to changing local law to allow the licensing of a marijuana retail store in the city. An ordinance before the city council Sept. 15 originally would have restricted any such license if it was illegal under state or federal law. But that quickly changed when Councilmember David Tylor made a motion to remove the reference to “federal law” from the ordinance. Voters passed Initiative 502 in November 2012, making it legal in the state of Washington to open such stores. Although it is still against federal law, the U.S. attorney general has promised tolerance for states that vote to allow the use of marijuana. The council has tackled this idea before, but three of the five have been reluctant to favor a marijuana retail outlet here. That got an official test earlier this year when an applicant for a marijuana business license was turned down by City Clerk Carol Boyce. Tylor pressed the point and got a favorable nod from Councilmember Erin Nielsen, who sec-

The Bureau of Reclamation will close two areas on Lake Roosevelt to motorized boats to reduce erosion.

Bureau to close bays to motorized boats on Lake Roosevelt The Bureau of Reclamation will install wooden log booms across Moonbeam Bay and the bay at Redford Canyon beginning in late October, the agency announced Tuesday.

During construction, and upon completion of the project, motorized watercraft will be prohibited in each of these areas. Non-motorized activities will continue to be allowed in both bays, the bu-

reau press release said. The log booms are being placed to reduce shoreline erosion from wave action to protect critical resources in these areas. The log booms will span approximately

675 linear feet at Moonbeam Bay and 645 linear feet at Redford Canyon. Both bays are located upstream of Grand Coulee Dam on the north shoreline of Lake RooSee CLOSURES page 2

open to budgeting for recycling by Roger S. Lucas

The members of the Regional Board of Mayors are trying to wrap their arms around recycling again. This time they are talking about budgeting for a recycling program of sorts for 2016. First, the mayors of the four towns making up the board will need to go to their respective councils to get an OK to spend some $13,000 for a recycling bin. All four councils need to approve the expenditure before the RBOM can purchase a bin. Or, as Electric City’s clerk, Jackie Perman, pointed out, the RBOM might be able to rent a bin. Recycling dominated Monday’s monthly meeting of the mayors. It was suggested that a recycling bin should be located in Grand Coulee somewhere because it is central to the whole community. The mayors seem interested in trying out the recycling idea for a year. If it doesn’t work out, Grand Coulee Mayor Chris Christopherson noted, they could have a “fire sale” on the bin. Just what the community would try to collect with a recycling program wasn’t fully determined. For the effort to go forward, the four mayors will need to sell their respective councils on the importance and practicality of recycling. The Delano Transfer Station is operated under the auspices of the RBOM, comprising the mayors of Grand Coulee, Coulee Dam, Electric City and Elmer City.

Town hires code enforcer

Chief of police resigns by Roger S. Lucas

by Roger S. Lucas

Coulee Dam has a code enforcer. Mayor Greg Wilder told the council last Wednesday night that Gary Haven has been hired to enforce the town’s civil ordinances, all except for those concerning dogs. Haven also is the code enforcer for Electric City, and has had a number of successes in getting people to conform to that city’s codes. Haven will work 25 hours a month for Coulee Dam, receiving $22 an hour. He will work to get people to clean up tall grass and garbage piled around their buildings. The dog issue won’t come into play, at least for now, Wilder told the council, a sore point with community members who are frustrated with dogs running loose on town streets. Wilder said that maybe sometime in the future, all four towns could come together on a code enforcer that would include the dog issue. Although ordinances in the towns might differ somewhat, Wilder said they could still be enforced for what they were. Haven started work for the town Monday. Grand Coulee recently hired a code enforcer, Jolena Mills, who adds such duties to her work in the city’s parks.

onded the motion, attending the proceedings by phone. Each council member had an opportunity to speak about deleting “federal law” from the ordinance, and did. Mayor Pro Tem Paul Townsend and council members Tammara Byers and Tom Poplawski all indicated that they were not ready to go that far. After discussions revealed that Tylor’s motion wasn’t going anywhere, he withdrew the motion, but indicated that the matter was not dead, just delayed. But the three members dissenting from Tylor’s motion, indicated that there was still too much confusion about the law to get their votes, for now. The city had earlier passed a resolution for a moratorium on the marijuana issue, then reinstated the same for a second six months. Each time the issue has come up to the council, there has been less opposition to it. At one council meeting dozens of citizens attended, voicing their opposition to a marijuana store here.

Coulee Dam police Chief Pat Collins has retired. “I would like to thank you all for the many years I have been with Coulee Dam,” Collins stated in a brief letter of resignation. “It is now time for me to move on. I have been offered another position and, after careful consideration, I have decided to accept the new position.” Collins stated that his final day would be Sept. 25. Mayor Greg Wilder put Collins on paid administrative leave through the remainder of his time. Collins has been with the town for 26 years. The town started advertising for a new chief immediately, requesting that applicants have at least five years experience with adequate administrative experience, and offering a salary range of $4,771–$5,500 a month. The resignation of Collins caught the attention of Grand Coulee’s city council members at their meeting last Tuesday, prompting a discussion that the vacancy could open up some opportunities. There has been some interest expressed by council members in combining the two police departments. There was no discussion as to how this might be pursued.

The two police departments have been chasing many of the same dollars in recent years, with Grand Coulee winning a large contract for law enforcement services with the Bureau of Reclamation, and Coulee Dam recently selected to serve longtime Grand Coulee customer, Electric City.

O P I N I O N

Time to look at a new combination It’s not often the stars align in such a way as to guide the steps of our local leaders, but right now might be a good time for them to look up. In an area that can benefit from every scrap of efficiency it can find, it might seem obvious that similar services two miles apart could benefit by joining forces. Now think about the local police departments. Coulee Dam has one; so does Grand Coulee. Electric City does not, but Coulee Dam recently learned their police would be servicing that city on the other side of Grand Coulee via a bid that was marginally smaller. That may be slightly better for Electric City’s

budget, but probably far less so than the efficiencies that could be available in a combined department. That’s no certainty, but a real possibility. Now would be a good time to find out. Coulee Dam’s police chief just retired. Grand Coulee started fresh almost a year ago with a new chief. Change is in the air. Officers within departments and leaders in the municipalities they serve should consider investigating the possibilities. Scott Hunter editor and publisher

Letters from Our Readers Salmon given to firefighters in appreciation While I was packaging up some recently smoked salmon, I thought, “Why not take it to the staging area in Nespelem and see if these folks might just like this little snack?” Wow, did they. I think before I was out of the parking area, most of 50 bags were being devoured. With no more fish to smoke, Frank Thomas suggested a trip to the net pens on Rufus Woods to

solicit a triploid donation. They really stepped up to the plate. All told, pens manager Bill Clark of Pacific Sea Food donated over 260 pounds of these great smoking triploid. A big thanks to this community-minded company. Also, I’d like to thank our local Safeway store, as manager Lisa Correnti made a donation of the necessary brining supplies. Ross and Carol Clune, who

smoked and bagged at least 100 bags, Rob and Glo Carroll, who help distribute as far away as the Tunk Grange. My thanks to all the above and a special thanks to the those firefighters who are still battling these fires as we approach the end of September.

Gems in the Coulee: Steve Archer

If I said the words, “Faith Community Church,” one of your first thoughts would be the Archers. They have been here since the beginning. In an era Bill Tewalt   that pastors don’t usually stay in one place longer than 10 years, the Archers have been here over 30. They raised their kids here and now their grandkids come to visit here. All the while, they pastor the little church in Electric City. Faith Community started in a home many years ago. It grew and soon was in a garage. It grew again and the members said it was time for a building and a pastor. That show those receiving Medicaid are significantly bet- pastor was a young musician and his wife.

Medicaid mythbuster #1

During debates over expanding Medicaid to uninsured, low-income families, expansion opponents argued it doesn’t provide quality healthcare coverage, and low-income residents would be better off uninsured. Reports of organizations such as The Buckeye Institute (from Ohio, which has expanded its Medicaid program) make such claims. They have been repeated across the nation by anti-Affordable Care Act and antiMedicaid expansion politicians and groups. These arguments are nonsensical. Myriad economic and health benefits accompany health insurance. These are well documented in Center for Rural Affairs’ reports. To by Jon deny people those benefits and the security and well-being they bring and then tell them they are better off is absurd and immoral. It’s also dishonest, as the Commonwealth Fund Biennial Health Insurance Survey shows. The 2014 survey found that Medicaid outperforms private health insurance in many respects. All measures

One past tennis player said, “They teach us more about being responsible members of society while they coach us; I will always love them.” I would not be doing either of them justice if I did not mention a few more words that describe them. Words like faith, love, Jesus and humility. Not necessarily in that order either, or all at the same time. Steve stands on the church stage almost every Sunday and lets God control his words. It is not always a popular subject, but he uses this platform to teach and share with a grace and softness. At the same time, a strong and level message also comes through. Emotion mixed with an ever-steady love of all humans, supported by truth. When I was sick, Steve cried with me. (Please don’t take away our man points.) He also prayed with me many times. We both struggled through that rough time in my life. I saw him as a father with an unconditional love for a son. And that is exactly the message he wants to get to all of us: that we all have a Father who does love us unconditionally. This Father will weep with us and pray with us and celebrate with us. Just like Steve has with many of us. He is a reflection of God. Is he perfect? No. He will be the first to tell you that, but he continues to try daily to be exactly what he is supposed to be. With Janice by his side, he knows his work is not done yet. It may be winding down, but there are still lots and lots of people out there who need to hear what God wants to say through him. This column could not be long enough to express the impact Steve has had to on Coulee Country. Thank you, Steve and Janice, for doing what you were called to do. No matter what happens tomorrow, I will remember you for the rest of my lifetime, as will many others. And CallWalkObey should be our war cry as we maneuver in these confusing times.

Devon Beekler is in awe of coulee country. She hails from Lancaster County in Pennsylvania, a garden of sorts. Lancaster is right in the center of Amish country, where farmland is tailored, farm buildings are kept better than houses, and people in old-fashioned buggies may have the right of way. By education, Beekler is a landscape architect, a graduate of Penn State, and is locked into a yearlong position with the National Park Service here to help the agency promote its 100th anniversary. Here, the landscape is so different. She could probably suggest a planting of trees here and there to make her mark as a landscape architect in coulee country. But that’s not the role she is in right now. She came aboard the NPS assignment as “centennial ambassador” in June this year and will be handling duties getting people to know about and appreciate national parks, with emphasis on the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. The NPS is celebrating its 100th year in concert with a national park promotion called “Find Your Park.” The centennial celebration runs from Aug. 25 this year until next August. Beekler hopes her stay here will be extended beyond the 12 months so she can see some of the events she has worked on come to pass.

landed a traveling quilt show that features some 177 quilts depicting the fauna, physical features and birds and animals found in the nation’s national parks. The show will be held next July 1-4 in Coulee Dam. The Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area will wind up the centennial celebration with a gathering at Fort Spokane on the exact anniversary date, Aug. 25. That was the date in 1916 when President Woodrow Wilson signed the act of Congress that created the National Park Service. Beekler is experiencing her first trip to the Pacific Northwest. She drove here from her home in Lancaster, cross-country, taking 15 days. She said she had in mind trees, not realizing that the state of Washington is made up of a number of geographical areas, not all of them with a lot of trees. Devon will man NPS booths in fairs throughout the state, providing information about the centennial and particularly about the LRNRA. She also had a National Park Service booth at last weekend’s Harvest Festival at North Dam Park. What does she plan to do when her year is up? Good question, and Beekler says she will take the full year to decide. Right now she is working to get volunteers to take part in “National Public Lands Day” at Spring Canyon boat launch, Saturday, Sept. 26. The NPS is spearheading a shoreline cleanup day from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. She says to be an NPS volunteer, bring water, sunscreen, long pants, closed-toe shoes, life vests and work gloves. Beekler can be reached for additional information at 509-754-7829.

New librarian hired by Roger S. Lucas

An Electric City woman has been selected as the new head librarian at Grand Coulee. North Central Regional Library officials announced this week that Lisa Moore has been selected after a lengthy process of interviews. NCRL spokesperson Angela Morris said Monday that there was a large number of applicants and that it was a difficult decision because of the quality of the candidates. Moore replaces Joette Barry, who has moved to the numbertwo position at the Moses Lake library with a step up in grade. Morris said that Moore begins her new position officially on Sept. 30. In the meantime, she

will have some time in training. Grand Coulee is one of 28 public libraries under the NCRL umbrella. Moore is married to Sgt. Gary Moore of the Grand Coulee Police Department, with whom she recently celebrated their 34th anniversary. They have a son, Jeremy, who lives in Lacey, and a daughter, Amanda, living in New York City. Moore was librarian in Reardan for 12 years, managing an independent library system, largely dependent on grants for its existence. She grew up in both the Portland and Medford, Oregon areas. Moore said Tuesday that she enjoys working with children and looks forward to the challenges in this area.

County historical society seeking board members Annual meeting slated in November

EPHRATA — Wanted: volunteers interested in helping preserve Grant County’s historical heritage. Prospective candidates are being sought for the Grant County Historical Society’s board of directors, who oversee operations at the county museum in Ephrata. President Rita Mayrant said several current board members have ongoing medical issues which limit their participation, and the group, overall, is aging. “We’re hoping some area residents would be interested in serving, and that would include younger people with an interest in the county’s history,” said Mayrant. The nine-member board is comprised of three at-large positions and two positions from each of the county’s three commissioner districts. Due to changes in commission boundaries, the GCHS board

now has no representative from District 3, which includes Quincy, Royal City, Mattawa, and a small portion of the Moses Lake area; and only one from District 2, which represents the greater Moses Lake/Warden area. Commissioner District 1 includes Ephrata, Soap Lake, Wilson Creek, a small portion of Moses Lake, and the northern-county communities of Coulee City, Hartline, and Grand Coulee. Any prospective candidates must first be members of the local historical society. The GCHS board will hold its annual meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 10, and three board positions will be up for election. Board members are volunteers serving staggered three-year terms. The board meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 11:30 a.m. at the Ephrata American Legion Post, 276 Eighth Ave. NW. The museum is located at 742 Basin St. NW. For more information, contact Mayrant at 509/750-4555 or museum director Pat Witham at 509/754-2062.

New basketball coach hired for Lake Roosevelt Jr./Sr. High by Roger S. Lucas

The school district has hired a new head boys’ basketball coach. Lake Roosevelt High School Coach Mario Adams arrived in the coulee area last week and plans to be a substitute teacher in the district. “He is passionate about helping develop young men into responsible adults and successful athletes,” Athletic Director Rich Black said of Adams in recommending him to the school board for confirmation. Adams, 25, comes to his Lake Roosevelt assignment from California where he had built up seven years’ coaching experience as an assistant coach at his statechampion high school and in AAU ball. Adams comes from De La Salle High School, near San Francisco, California,where his senior-year team won the state basketball championship in its classification. He later acted as assistant coach in his old school. He attended William Jessup University, a small Christian college nearby, earning a degree in history. Black described him as “hard working, enthusiastic, and energetic.”

FAX IT at the Star 633-3828

Adams laughingly notes that his nickname at the school was “45” because he had a vertical jump of 45 inches. The year his team at De La Salle won the state high school championship, it was listed as the number-three team in the nation. Adams played small forward. His mentor, coach Frank Allocco, won 17 league championships and two state championships in his 18 years at De La Salle. Adams speaks highly of Allocco, who had an unusual gift of raising the character levels of the boys who played for him. Allocco took on an assistant coaching position at the University of San Francisco in May this year. Raider boys may find their new coach refreshing. “In order to be successful on the court, players must like each other and care about each other,” Adams says. His goal, Adams says, is to help young men reach their potential and build on any natural talent they have. Basic fundamentals are the key to success, along with hard work, and that’s what players will hear when they get together with Adams sometime this month. Actual practice won’t start until much later.

Lady Raiders’ volleyball picks up another win by John R. McNeil II

Lady Raider Volleyball continued to find success in the early season with another win at Oroville in a three-game match last week. “My entire team is showing great improvement,” Head Coach Kasey Garvin said. “They are doing a great job applying the things that they are learning in practice in their game play.” LR swatted the Hornets in the Sept. 15 match: 25-13, 25-15, 25-20. Aiyanna Picard picked up seven kills and an ace against Oroville. Jocelyn Moore led the team with eight kills, a block and an ace. Kayley Duclos continued to have success at the service line with five aces. Sean Garvin had three kills and aces, but her big stat was 20 assists to teammates. Areielle White had a great night at the service line with five aces. Cassi Palmer and Rylee Pitner both contributed a kill. Addison Hansen recorded a solo block against the Hornets. The Lady Raiders “are all working very hard in

Score in fourth quarter avoids Raider blowout

Beau Michel rushes to gain 39 yards in five carries for the Raiders against Soap Lake.

by John R. McNeil II

Steven Flowers’ touchdown with 42 seconds left in the game kept the Raiders from a scoreless loss against Soap Lake Friday night. Flowers ran the ball in from 54 yards out, and the kick was good to give Lake Roosevelt seven points to the Eagles’ 34. The Eagles had come to town with a 2-0 win-loss record and showed up ready to play. The Raiders played hard and kept trying to get back into the game. The Eagles were too much, however, and the Raiders dropped to 1-1 overall. “We played hard to the end of the game,” Raider Head Coach Geary Oliver said, adding that that had been noticed by many community members who had talked to him later. “Other than the early fumbles, the team played a competitive game, overall a great improvement,” he said. Oliver highlighted an individual who he said really shined in the game. “Beau Michel had a great first game,” the coach said. “He got a late start because of the fires and had to miss the first game. He made up for it with 39 yards rushing on five carries, and 12 tackles — four for loss — and a sack.” Oliver also highlighted Steven Flowers for his continued good play. Flowers scored the Raiders’ lone touchdown, on a 54-yard run, and also recorded 10 tackles. Jesse Louie carried the ball six times, gaining 26 yards and recorded nine tackles, two of which were for a loss. Jacob Palmer was also in for nine tackles, with three for a loss. Palmer led the Raiders with two sacks. Hernan Atchison-Garcia, Michael Thomas and Matthew Tillman each recorded five tackles. “We will improve our skills,” Oliver said, “but I am excited that the perception in the community reveals how hard these guys are working.”

On Friday the Raiders will host the Manson Trojans starting at 7 p.m. Manson has been down this season. Two weeks

The CAN-AM Invite is hosted by Colville. The race will feature a large competitive field that will test the Raiders and provide good feedback on what they need to improve for the late-season stretch.

practice developing new skills, a faster tempo, and sharpening their areas of deficiency,” Coach Garvin said, so the whole team gets credit for the win. “They are also learning how to celebrate all their little victories and walk away from the mistakes,” she noted. “Life is about little victories; I want them to learn to embrace every one.” A match last Thursday was rescheduled for a later date, so the Lady Raiders did not return to the court until last night at Manson. Looking ahead to the later matches Coach Garvin has this plan: “My goal for the first go-round in league play is simply development,” Garvin said. “By the final go-around, my goal is for these girls to dominate games.” Last night LR travelled to Manson. Tomorrow the Lady Raiders will host the Tonasket Tigers at Gailord Nelson Gym, starting at 5:30 p.m. Then on the 29th the Lady Raiders will take on the Lady Bears at Brewster starting at 5:30 pm.
