planned for
Morgans
The community is invited to
a farewell coffee hour gathering for Reg and Linda Morgan,
Sunday, Oct. 26, at 11 a.m. at
St. Henry’s parish hall in Grand
Coulee. The Morgans will soon
be moving to the Tacoma area.
Raise granted
Electric City workers are
getting a raise in 2015.
The city council voted last
Tuesday night to give workers
a 1.9-percent increase in wage
and salary.
The vote was unanimous.
Health
district
supported
Grant County Health District
will receive $2,000 from the
city of Electric City. The health
district asks each year for
cities and towns in the county
to give $2 per resident to help
offset many of the services
it provides. Electric City has
given $2,000 in each of the last
three years.
Shoreline

passed
The council at Electric City
accepted by ordinance the
Shoreline Master Plan. The
plan now goes to the county

NPS wants
to increase
fees
A public meeting will be
held at Coulee Dam Town Hall
Thursday night at 6 p.m. to
take comments on The National Park Service’s proposed
increases on camping and
boating fees at Lake Roosevelt
National Recreation Area to
take effect next spring.
Current fees were established in 1995, and have not
been revised in relation to inflation and are now lower than
the average of the area around
the park, the NPS says.
The boat launch fee would
increase from $6 to $8 per
week. The reduced boat
launch annual permit would
change from the varying fee
structure of $30 from Jan. 1
through April 30, $40 from May
1 through Sept. 30, and $20
from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31, to
a single yearly fee of $45.
The proposed camping
fee for an individual campsite
would increase from $10 per
night to $18 per night. Group
site use would increase from
$53 per night to $55 per night
for 1-25 people, from $78 per
night to $80 per night for 26-50
people, and from $103 per
night to $105 per night for 5175 people.
SERVING THE GRAND COULEE DAM AREA, WASHINGTON STATE
Agency hopes
transit hub will
link whole county
by Roger S. Lucas
Grant County Transit officials
have their fingers crossed that
their plans for a transportation
hub in the middle of downtown
Moses Lake will become a reality
and link far flung corners of the
county to other transportation.
The GTA’s longest route is the
one that comes to the Grand Coulee area, about 77 miles.
The group submitted a grant
request to the state Department
of Transportation Oct. 6, for
$1.998 million, according to Lyle
Brand, hub project manager.
The proposed “hub” project
is located at Division and 5th
Streets on 1.1 acres near the central business district.
The hub, if built, would allow
riders to connect with all Grant
Transit Authority buses, some 28
of them, to get to their final destinations.
“We plan to contact Trailways
and Greyhound bus systems to
see if they would like to be part of
the hub so riders can connect for
travel outside the area,” Brand
stated.
The GTA purchased the property for $485,000. The property
formerly housed a church and
later a funeral parlor.
“We will be reimbursed 80 percent of the purchase price if the
DOT looks favorably on our grant
request,” Brand said.
The GTA expects to hear
whether it got the grant in April.
It would cover 80 percent of the
cost of construction and the county group would put up the remainder of the money.
The GTA plans to move forward with the demolition of the
existing structure within a couple
of months.
The hub would also allow the
GTA to develop a park-and-ride
lot as part of the development.
Buses would not be stored there.
If the agency receives the
grant, it is expected that the project will be completed by the fall
of 2016.
The GTA started with four
buses back in 1995.
The bus that serves the local
area stops near Electric City’s
city hall, Coulee Medical Center, near Safeway, at the Bureau
of Reclamation and at Harvest
Foods.
“We have several who ride our
Grand Coulee bus from Moses
Lake to work at the hospital and

Commission seeks quickest
way to grant business
move despite zoning
by Roger S. Lucas
The Grand Coulee Planning
Commission turned back visitor input last Wednesday night
so that members could discuss
among themselves the merits of
accommodating a request for a
zoning change so that an auto repair business could move to a new
location.
MPH Automotive is located on
Midway Avenue at Spokane Way
where it is “grandfathered” in because it was already there when
new zoning laws were created.
Chair and Councilmember
Tammara Byers said the planning commission wasn’t taking
public comments that night, but
would at its next meeting, Nov.
12, at 5:30 p.m.
Commission members sought
information on what it would
take to grant the request.
Professional planner Vivian
Ramsey, of SCJ Alliance, the city’s
planning firm, said that even the
quickest process to change the
zoning would take months. She
said that if the change was made
it would open up the entire zone
for similar businesses.
Ramsey said Monday that at
the request of the commission,
she is researching all the issues
related to pursuing a “non-con-
forming use” path, and the issue
will be discussed with the city’s
attorney. She said that MPH
owner Mike Horne already has a
building permit to alter the building he is buying at 19 Midway,
but not a use permit.
Planning members seemed
destined to pursue a “non-conforming use” permit as the best
way of granting Horne permission to move his business.
Responding to one person’s
comment at the end of the meeting that it appeared the commission members were biased in favor of the change, and that the
issue was a “slam dunk,” Byers
disagreed.
She pointed out that there
was a long way to go, and plenty
of time for comment along the
way, before any decision would be
made.
The issue was not on the Grand
Coulee City Council’s agenda for
last night’s regular meeting, but
it was expected that some people
would show up to talk about it
during the public comment period.
Horne, owner of MPH, who has
been in his present location for 10
years, wants to purchase a building owned by Larry Maier, about
a block north of his present rent-
ed building. That locations is not
currently zoned for automotive
repair.
Allowing the move and change
of zoning is opposed by some members of the Grand Coulee Dam
Area Chamber of Commerce. The
topic came up at the chamber’s
Thursday luncheon. Debbie Starkey, who has an investment business next door to where Horne
wants to relocate, said that many
of those in the planning group are
friends of Horne or have had a
business relationship with him.
A recent event, an eviction of
MPH from its present location,
occurred after an story appeared
in The Star newspaper stating
that Horne had said items people
objected to outside the building
and elsewhere belonged to the
owners of the building. A few days
later, Horne said, he received an
eviction notice and had to be out
in 30 days.
It was explained by planners
that with a conditional use permit, the city could attach a string
of conditions to the permit.
Two city council members are
on the planning group, the chair,
Tammara Byers, and David Tylor.
Councilmember Paul Townsend
was in the audience Wednesday
night.

Quick arrest made
after residential
burglary suspect
caught on animal cam
The Grant County Sheriff’s Office reports that an Electric City
resident, a suspect in a recent
Sagebrush Flats Rd NW residential burglary is in custody thanks
to an animal camera.
Steve Kiona, 37, was taken
into custody Sunday night for investigation of burglary. Already a
convicted felon, he was also found
with a loaded firearm in the back
seat of his vehicle, as well as
items potentially taken from the
Sagebrush Flats residence, the
sherriff’s office said.
Just before 2 p.m. Sunday, the
sheriff’s office received the call
for a suspected residential burglary on Sagebrush Flats Road,
near Ephrata. After conducting a
search and determining the home
was empty, a preliminary inventory list of stolen items was made.
Fingerprints and photographic
evidence were also taken.
The man living there then told
a deputy that an animal camera
positioned on the property pointed towards the driveway. After
looking at the camera’s memory
card, a dark colored vehicle with
a clear image of the license plate,
as well as a suspect, were discovered.
While the suspect was not immediately identifiable from the
image, the license plate on the
vehicle was traced to a registered
owner who said he had sold the
vehicle about four months ago. He
no longer had the suspect’s contact information, but he did identify the suspect from the image as
the same man who had purchased
his car.
At approximately 6:10 p.m.
Sunday night, the previous car
owner called sheriff’s office, saying that the suspect had come to
his home asking for a vehicle bill
of sale. A deputy caught up to the
suspect shortly afterward on SR
28.
“This was a good catch,” Grant
County Sheriff Tom Jones said.
“Between the animal camera and
the quick-thinking former car
owner, we were able to identify
and get this suspect off the street
within hours of the burglary.”

The issue of a lack of a local recycling program was raised again
at the Regional Board of Mayors
meeting Monday afternoon.
Raising the issue was Gayle
Swagerty, mayor pro-tem of Coulee Dam, who was filling in for
Mayor Greg Wilder who is recovering from a stroke.
She read from the mayors’ contract with Sunrise Disposal that
recycling was part of the agreement. Swagerty it had come up at
one of her town’s meetings.
The mayors have had similar
discussions before and explained
that the economy of scale wouldn’t
permit recycling beyond corrugated cardboard. The basic costs of
recycling other products couldn’t
be recovered because of volume or
pricing, Swagerty was told.
Randy Gumm, manager of the
transfer station, explained that
recycling isn’t free. “Someone has
to pay for it,” he said. Usually,
that comes in the form of higher
garbage rates.
Some individuals do recycle
and most drop the products off at
recycling stations in other communities. Many drop items off at
the Lincoln County Transfer Station where drop boxes are located.
Swagerty asked why the recycling issue was included in the
agreement if nothing was going to
be done on it.
Electric City is inching closer
to a new logo.
The council looked at four samples developed by graphic artist
Richard Button and council members had a good time selecting the
one they liked. The problem was
that several preferences were
noted. At one point it was suggested that they have one of the
logos for vehicles and a different
one for letterheads.
But the council finally settled
on one, with mayor Jerry Sands
making some small alterations to
the design.
The council wants to change
the color scheme of the logo.
The logo design is oval with
artwork of Steamboat Rock in the
middle.
The city has been in the process of changing its logo for four
years now. It hopes to complete
the process soon.

Let the market and politics
test whether recycling
is a good idea here
Gayle Swagerty spoke for quite a few people in
the entire community this week when she asked
why there is no recycling program organized by the
four towns whose waste disposal is governed by the
Regional Board of Mayors.
The mayors’ response was that it’s not economically feasible to sustain such a program in an area
of this population.
That may be so, but the mayors should let the
market prove it.
Evidently, that’s not an option currently because
the waste disposal contract gives the regional refuse
hauler the right to run a recycling program. At least
that is what was told to the last person who tried to
start one. Can’t be done.
It’s time to change that aspect of the contract. If
Sunrise Disposal doesn’t want to offer a recycling
program, that’s understandable. When this state
passed the law that requires most of the state to offer curbside recycling, it exempted small towns for
the very economic reasons the mayors are claiming.
Still, about 87 percent of the people in the state now
have access to curbside recycling. It’s a value we’ve
drummed into our children since the 1970s: Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle.
That’s why the ability to put together a recycling
program should not be exclusively held by a company that doesn’t want to do it. Keeping that clause
in the contract in the future might point to a more
questionable reason for it: Keeping out recycling ensures more waste to pay the bills at the local disposal site, and more hauling for the contractor.
That, too, is a rational approach, but it’s certainly
one that, given the political will, could be alleviated
if the people decided to do so, possibly through higher garbage bills, if necessary.
That’s a political question. And if Swagerty, or
anyone else, want to ask it, they ought to be able to
at least see a possibility of success, not a contract to
a private company with a tight garbage can lid on
the process.

Letters from our readers
Coulee Recollections
Everyone made a difference in successful year
All of the members of American Legion Post 157 in Electric
City would like to thank everyone
who helped to support our annual Summer Yard Sale event, this
year. For all of those who donated
items, all who came out to buy
items, and all of the volunteers
who helped us to organize, clean,
and move all of the items, we
thank each and everyone of you!
Our Post was able to raise enough
money, this year, to not only keep
the doors open and lights on,
but also to fund our Scholarship
Award, and look at putting to-
gether some new community and
veteran events throughout this
year.
As commander, I would like to
send a very special thank you to
John Nordine, Jim Brakebill, Ben
Alling, Greg Behrens, and Shawn
Neider for all of the lifting, carrying, and moving of all the heavy
“stuff”! You guys are awesome! I
would also like to send out a very
special thank you to Donna Shear
and “Big” Mike for all of the volunteer hours you both put in to help
make our Yard Sale a successful event and for also working so
hard to get all of the 101 coats and
winter items ready for our Free
Coat Give Away in November!
Our veterans and our community are very important to
each and every one of us; however, without the support of great
people, hard workers, and volunteers we would not be successful.
Thank you, all! Everyone makes
a difference, and this year it certainly has shown!

Why can Grand Coulee do it faster than Electric City?

Grand Coulee was able to pass

weeks on accessory buildings
when Electric City has not been
able to do it for at least a year.
I am one of the people that
have been trying to get bigger accessory building for over a year

filled out surveys. Also, most city

If anyone can shed some light

Gems in the Coulee Cathy Krohn
If you have been around the high school the last
few years you know why this lady is a “gem.” If you
have not, well let me throw some names at you: Rose
Butterfly, Rebecca Hunt, Tiffany Peone, Leland Wellons, Craig Nissen, Kacey Palmer Ankney, Kassandra Norton, Meghan Francis, Amelia McClung, Matthew Timentwa, Charlie Knight, Johnny McCraigie,
Kendall Piccolo, Brandin Smith, Daniel Campobasso and Chyenne Kelly-Marconi.
What do they all have in common? They are Lake Roosevelt
graduates and Gates Millennium Scholarship winners.
Seventeen winners from our
school since the year 2000, and
all will say Cathy Krohn is the
Jesse Utz
key ingredient in them being
winners. Of course, they put in
the work but Mrs. Krohn was
the person pushing them to
meet deadlines.
“She was a huge support,”
said Kaycee Palmer, the 2007 winner, “not just because she is so dang knowledgeable but because she
is so trusting and compassionate. The essays require you to dig deep and unearth the tougher times
in your life.” Chatting with a few winners, a lot of
them said the same thing about Cathy.
What we see on the outside is a mom who raised
her kids her in the Coulee. We see her as a tough
lady, married to Rick, and they had two boys - Eli
and Nate. I think way back and see her at Sunflower Graphics. Yes, before she was driving kids to get
their paperwork in, she was driving herself to meet
t-shirt order deadlines.
When I started working in the school district I
saw a different side of Cathy. Yes, she was the same
person, but there was a passion that totally involved
these high school kids, getting them prepared for
their next step. I mean, with only 1,000 awarded nationally each year, we have had 17 Gates scholars
come from the halls at LR, not to mention the hundreds of other scholarships that she has had a hand
in. Just stop by her classroom in the new school

sometime and you will see her awards in her office.
Awards from the kids she has helped to achieve big
things.
Kids like 2013 winner Kendall Piccolo. “She was
always on me about my deadlines, making sure I
had all the proper forms and helping me just get
started on them,” he said.
“She was my lifeboat in an ocean of uncertainty,”
2014 winner Daniel Campobasso
said.
When I asked a few of the
winners, via Facebook, to tell me
something about Cathy, all of
them wrote back lengthy messages full of awesome words about
Cathy. All had one thing in common, they would not be where
they are today without her push,
love and compassion. As a matter
of fact, Palmer told me she still
goes to Mrs. Krohn for advice and
to just unload. They all said they
would still turn to her when they get stuck on something in their lives. There is something very grand
in that. Very gem-like, I think.
Charlie Knight, 2013 graduate and Gates winner,
said it best: “She always listened and let us vent,
from school stress to personal life stress. She always
was there, never judged and made me feel safe and
loved.”
Isn’t that exactly what we want for our kids, to
have people in their lives they can turn to in any
situation and get good advice, not only for their future but for their life? That is what Cathy is doing
and doing well.
So, thank you, Cathy Krohn, for being a “Gem
in the Coulee” and for helping to mold other Gems
around the world, from UW to Dartmouth and a lot
of schools in between. So on behalf of every student
you ever forced to meet a deadline and every student who shed a tear in your presence, I say thank
you. You are a true Gem in the Coulee.

in Nespelem, Wash.,
on the Colville Indian
Reservation.
Ruth was proud of
her heritage as a
descendant of the
Joseph Band Nez
Perce, and frequently showed the grit of
the those who had
survived the War
of 1877. After bouts
with tuberculosis in
her teen years, she
was able to attend
Western Washington University,
graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education,
and while teaching in Bothell,
met another Colville Tribal Member, Paul G. Wapato. Their union
produced four children, Karen,
Kathryn, Paul C. and Philip, and
led to 30 years in southern California, as Paul pursued a career
in aerospace engineering. Retirement in 1991 brought them to
Bend, Ore.
In 2001, they chose a second
retirement venue, in northwest
Spokane, placing them closer to
the children, who reside in Lewiston, Coulee Dam and Omak. Seven grandchildren and one greatgranddaughter played no small
role in that selection. Recently,
Paul and Ruth relocated to the
Rockwood South Hill retirement
community. While in retirement,
Ruth and her husband have made a
major commitment
in supporting the
history of the War
of 1877 by working
in the Nez Perce
Trail Foundation,
a citizen advocate
organization supporting the Congressionally-designated Nez Perce
National Historic
Trail. That led
them to many visits to sites in Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming,
Oklahoma and Alberta.
Her family deeply grieves for
the loss of her firm, fair and loving presence.
Her passing was memorialized
at the Nespelem Community Center on October 16, with a Rosary
at 7 p.m., followed by a Walasat
service. Interment was Saturday
morning at the Little Nespelem
Creek Cemetery.
Please sign her on-line register book at www.stratefuneralhome.com . Strate Funeral Home
of Grand Coulee, Wash., is honored to be serving Ruth’s family.
Couple gets blanket appreciation
by Scott Hunter
A grateful Nespelem Creek Kids 4-H
club gave Merl and Linda Roberts an
embroidered Pendleton blanket Oct. 7
in appreciation for working with the
group’s bee-raising project.
Club advisor Ian Wilder said Merle
Roberts, a beekeeper himself, supported the project with expertise and experience and plenty of time.
The group, with 14-16 kids involved,
wanted to raise bees this year to collect
honey and wax, help with local pollination needs, and eventually donate to
honey to the Convalescent Center and
Senior Meal site.
But the club found that, with three
hives, only one produced honey this
year, and that was less than a pound.
Wilder said other beekeepers in the region have reported similar small yields,
following a big previous year.
Wilder said he also appreciated support from the Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation for the effort.
Aluminum cans only
at the senior center
The seniors accept aluminum cans ONLY. Please do not put cardboard, plastic bottles or other aluminum in the collection sacks.
In 2013, the Seniors collected 3800 pounds (almost 2 tons) of cans
and took in approximately $1500 for the Senior Center. That is approximately 30 cans for everyone in the Grand Coulee Dam area. The
program helps keep the doors open at the seniors and keeps the cans
out of the landfills. Please do not put other material in with the cans
because we have to dispose of it and the and that raises the already
high garbage bill and cuts down on the profit.

Cross country tunes up for league race
by John R. McNeil II
Raider Cross Country runners ran their last tune-up race
at the Oroville Invitational Oct.
18, when nearly the entire team
broke personal records.
“Both Girls and Boys ran
strong races and are looking toward the end of the season matchups,” Head Coach Gary Darnold said. “We are battling with
Tonasket. After beating them two
weeks ago, they got us by five in
Oroville.”
Tonasket finished fifth in the
boys’ race with 115 points, and
the Raiders took sixth with 121.
Loryn Moore continues to lead
the Raider girls. She finished seventh overall with a three-mile PR
time of 20 minutes, 59 seconds.
Kayla St. Pierre was the second
Raider across the line, finishing
with a PR of 21:56. Alyssa Oates
is the most improved Raider as
she trimmed her three-mile time
by over three minutes, finishing
37th at 25:13. The fourth Raider
girl at Oroville was Kianna Sam,
who finished 47th in 30:14.
In the varsity boys race, LR was
led by Chris Oates, who improved
his three-mile time to 17:25 to finish 11th. Ray Yazzie was next for
the Raiders at 18:21 for 20th.
Robert George recorded a new
PR at Oroville, finishing 29th in
18:55. Cole Trotter came in 34th
with a new PR of 19:16.
Jerry Palmer also recorded a
Cadence Holt, Kadynce Clark, Finn Beery, Tor Chaffee, Jayton Caddy,
Simon Beery, Isaac Circle, Presley Steffens, Sienna Atchison
Loryn Moore leads runners along the beach at Oroville on her way to taking seventh place with a personal-best
record. — Submitted photo
new PR, completing the race in
19:53 for 46th place. Cameron
Tillman came across the line in
53rd place with the time of 20:22.
Will Friedlander rounded out the
Raiders at Oroville, taking 62nd
in 21:44.
Over at the boys’ junior varsity
race, the Raiders finished second
with 50 points; Chelan took first
with 15. Kaden Trotter was the
first Raider across the line at
20:35, a PR time for 12th place.
Quincy Williams finished 17th
with a four-minute PR time at
21:01. Theron Nault was right at
Williams’ heels, finishing 18th at
21:06. Bradley Wilder came in at
25th with a new PR of 22:24. Aidan Derr was right behind Wilder
at 26th, breaking his old record
by almost five minutes in 22:33,
which makes him the most improved Raider boy for the week.
Lady Raiders split week,
need help to make district
by John R. McNeil II
The Lady Raiders lost at home to the Bridgeport Fillies Oct. 14 in
a four-game match that featured many close scores. LR and Bridgeport both made mistakes that allowed the other team to stay in or win
games.
In the first game of the match, the Fillies struck hard and fast and
cruised to an easy win. LR came back in the second game, playing
with greater effort. The Fillies did come back into it but the Ladies
held them off for a win. In the third game, Lake Roosevelt built on the
momentum from the second game and built an early lead. The Fillies
got back into the game, and LR mistakes down the stretch allowed
Bridgeport to win.
It was the fourth game that provided the most suspense and controversy. The game was a seesaw match, with both sides taking small
leads and then giving them up to the other squad. Both the Lady Raiders and Fillies exchanged service errors to place the game and match
into extra points. The crowd sat on the edge of their seats; one good
serve and defense could win it for either side. When LR could not return a Fillie serve that would give them the win the game appeared to
be over.
Braxton Hernandez came in over
a minute faster than his last
three-mile race, improving his PR
to 24:03.
The Raiders look ahead to this
Saturday’s race at Liberty Bell,
starting at 11 a.m., with the girls’
race followed by the boys at 11:40.
The race course centers on Liberty Bell High School. This is the
District 6 portion of the Central
Washington B League championships.
But the official called a foul on Bridgeport, saying the Fillies had
served out of rotation. Debate between the officials and the Bridgeport
coaches/captain ensued, and the Lady Raiders prepared to serve. After
about 10 minutes, the official returned to her initial call of match point
to Bridgeport for the win.
After the long match with Bridgeport the Lady Raiders defeated
Manson Oct. 16 in a full five-game match. With Manson’s win over
the Lady Raiders in September this creates a tie for fifth place in the
North, the last spot to the district tournament. With neither having
a clear tie breaker, the Lady Raiders need to win, and hope Manson
loses, in order to have a clear advantage Oct. 29 when district brackets
are announced.
Last night the Lady Raiders hosted Tonasket. Tomorrow LR heads
to Brewster to take on the number-two in the North. The game against
the Bears starts at 7 p.m.
Brewster is 10-1 in league play with their only loss being to Okanogan. LR then returns home for Senior Night on Oct. 28 against the
number-one Okanogan Bulldogs, who are still undefeated in north
league play. Match play starts at 7 p.m. with Senior Night activities
preceding it.
Cougars faster than Raiders
by John R. McNeil II
White Swan attacked early and
often to cruise to a victory over
the Raiders at White Swan Oct
17, pushing the score by halftime
to 42-0.
Lake Roosevelt scored all their
points in the fourth quarter.
The loss drops LR to a 1-5 overall win-loss record and 0-3 in Central Washington South play.
When asked about the teams
performance, “We were overwhelmed in the first half — not
very competitive,” Raider Head
Coach Steve Files said. “We rallied and played much better in the
second half.”
Oscar Pakootas and Jesse Louie scored both the Raider touchdowns on short runs, with Octavio Alejandre making both extra
points.
LR did win the second half by
the score of 14-6. Nathaniel Hall
completed seven of 11 passes for
77 yards for a 63-percent completion rate and an 11-yard average
per completion.
Lucas Bird caught two passes
for 54 yards receiving.
“Jake Palmer continues to
make contributions on both sides
of the ball and on special teams,”
Files said, noting Palmer’s 16
tackles and a fumble recovery
against the Cougars.
This Friday LR is on the road
again, this time traveling to Kittitas to take on the Coyotes starting
at 7 p.m.
Check Us Out
grandcoulee.com
Kittitas is 3-4 coming into the
game with wins over Mabton and
Omak. The Coyotes lost last week
to the Warden Cougars 54-34.
“We’ll definitely need to start
faster and be competitive early
in the game against them,” Files
said.
