VOL. LXXIII NO. 18 SERVING THE GRAND COULEE DAM AREA, WASHINGTON STATE JULY 31, 2013

Portmovesahead withproject

Grant County Port District 7 has advised its engineering firm, USKH of Spokane, to proceed with the bid specifications for its new dump truck/snow plow and a 30x40 foot building to house it in. Port commissioners stated that they expect an advertise-ment for bids in mid-August. The $290,000-plus project is being funded by the Federal Aviation Administration and the State Department of Transporta-tion (airports). The port will pay about 5% of the total cost of the project.

Manpleadsnot guilty

An Electric City pleaded not guilty when he was arraigned July 22 on multiple charges, including second-degree rape. Grant County Prosecutor Angus Lee said initially that bail for Michael Berry, 29, was set at $75,000, but then was reduced to $50,000. Other charges pending include unlawful im-prisonment, interfering with the reporting of domestic violence and obstructing justice. Berry was still being held on Monday. The incident allegedly occurred July 14.

Smokefrom wildfireshazing up area

Forest Service firefighters are fighting four fires ignited as a re-sult of a lightning storm on July 28. All four fires are in the upper portion of the Lake Chelan Ranger District. The largest of the four blazes is the Moore Point fire located about seven miles southeast of Stehekin. An estimated 40-50 acres was burning Tuesday morning.

Near Wenatchee, the Coloc-kum Tarps fire has burned 66 square miles and burned five homes.

The Mile Marker 28 fire out-side of Goldendale in Klickitat County has burned for more than a week, scorching 35 square miles.

Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark has banned all outdoor fires on lands protected by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources.

Hot and dry conditions have made the potential for wildfire unusually high on both sides of the Cascade Mountains. Signifi-cant demands are being placed upon fire suppression resources from both regional and statewide firefighting efforts. This ban is now in effect through Sept. 30 and prohibits campfires in de-veloped campgrounds and other recreational fires. The ban also prohibits prescribed burns.

Newsbriefs Tribal headquarters burns downby Scott Hunter

The building that has housed the headquarters of the Colville Tribes for decades burned down early Monday, leaving tribal lead-ers to figure out how to spread out even more of their government operations across the agency campus.

The aging A-frame building, it-self the subject of recent controver-sy, inspired emotions of a different sort in the pre-dawn darkness as flames licked the sky and what had been the roof over much important tribal history collapsed.

“That was the face of our na-tion,” mourned Shawnee BearCub, who, along with others the next day, erected a teepee in front of the tragic scene as a symbol of re-silience, a comfort and a reminder of great leadership. “Many people cried last night,” she said Monday, and several sang songs of mourn-ing.

Some 40 tribal employees of several departments were dis-placed by the blaze. Non-essential personnel were told not to go to work Monday, a communication made through a Facebook post, since the tribe’s phones and email were down.

“For the first time in our gov-ernment’s recent history, our legislative body and Administra-tion is without a Headquarters,”

noted Colville Business Council Chairman Michael O. Finley in a statement Monday. “We are shocked and saddened at this development. Many irreplaceable Tribal and personal items were lost today. Fortunately, no one

was hurt.”Built in 1975, the building, with

its creaky floors and knotty pine interior, housed the Colville Busi-ness Council and the great table that hosted their deliberations; and offices of the tribes’ executive

director, Land and Property, Infor-mation Technology, and Elections departments.

The building, which did not have a sprinkler system, was in-sured.

The fire was reported about 1:15

a.m. Finley said officers arrived within five minutes, but five min-utes later the building was fully engulfed in flames.

Crews from the Bureau of Rec-lamation, Grand Coulee, and Cou-lee Dam all assisted the Colville Tribal Emergency Services fire crews. “We are very thankful for the assistance we received in fighting this fire,” Finley said.

The building had already been slated for replacement with some $40 million of a $193 million settlement with the federal gov-ernment, a decision by tribal leadership that proved controver-sial among some members who thought the money should all be “paid out” to them.

Finley said Tuesday the con-struction process, in the archi-tectural design phase, would now have to be expedited.

In the meantime, an expansion of the tribal court building, about two weeks from completion, will be commandeered to house tribal administration workers, Finley said.

Finley praised a tribal response team he said had been work-ing around the clock to restore services. As of Tuesday morning, about half of the agency campus phone and Internet service had been restored.

Chamber planning “Harvest Festival”by Roger S. Lucas

Get ready for the community’s first Harvest Festival, Sept. 14, 15.

It will be a family affair with games for both the kids and adults.

A similar, but less ambitious, event happened last October.

Sponsored by the Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce, the two-day event will feature a barbecue competition cook-off with connections to the Pacific North-west Barbecue Association. There’s a prize purse of $2,500, and those participating will have a cook off of pork, brisket, ribs and chicken.

A second competition is a pie baking contest, with locals baking either an apple or berry pie.

There will be a beer tent, a cus-tomized pet show, a petting zoo, a hay ride and some other activities, all at North Dam Park.

The chamber is sponsoring a community-wide yard sale at the park, so you can bring your tables and items to sell.

There’s the promise of face paint-ing, pumpkin carving and a flock of kid’s games.

Chamber Manager Peggy Nevsi-mal said that volunteers will be needed to help make the event successful.

Any questions can be directed to her at 633-3074.

New school site getting a big wallby Roger S. Lucas

Workers at the K-12 school site started laying manufactured blocks for the 1,100-foot long retaining wall last Tuesday.

The block wall will be 20 feet high at its highest location.The 1,200-pound and 4,000-pound blocks are being manufactured by

Spilker Precast at the Coulee Concrete site and transported to where the wall is being constructed.

The retaining wall will enlarge the construction site area as workers backfill behind the wall.

The concrete blocks, which look like stone blocks on the exposed side, stretch from near Lake Roosevelt High School and follow the hill all the way over to just above the bus garage.

The block wall is being constructed by Segmented Systems of Spo-kane.

The blocks are lifted by machine and put in place by a single worker below. There was no estimate on when the wall would be finished. Some 4,000 blocks will be used to complete the project, many of them yet to be cast.

This group of seniors took the bus to Spokane for a day of shopping recently. The bus was given to the Grand Coulee Dam Senior Center by People for People, and carries 14 passengers. Pictured from left: driver Steve Phil-lips, Marie Chuinard, Dorothea Grandorf, Constance Wilson, Jean Mueller, Jean Graff, Bev Bowman, Betty Davis, Kitty Phillups, Katy Riley and Norma Smith. The shopping trip is the third Friday of each month and costs $15.

The seniors are getting mobile.The Grand Coulee Dam Senior

Center’s new once-a-month pro-gram of going to Spokane to shop has been successful and they are already planning trips to theater productions this fall and winter.

The seniors recently were given a 14-passenger bus by People For People, and the donation was barely in their possession before they took their first trip.

Seniors now go to Northtown Mall the third Friday of each month, hauling passengers for $15 per person.

There were 11 on the first trip. It took about $100 for gas.

Now the seniors are in line for a second bus from People-to-People, which they should get this fall.

Bob Schryvers, who is one of the organizers of the bus program, said the seniors’ second bus is newer and in better shape. The first bus has over 300,000 miles on it, but the second bus has consider-ably less mileage on it than that, Schryvers stated.

Marie Chuinard, who sits on the Electric City Council, is the other organizing partner in the bus program.

She went on the first trip July 19 and said the group had a great time.

Shopping isn’t the only thing being planned.

The seniors already have trips scheduled for theater productions in October and December.

For October, seniors are mak-ing reservations on the bus to see “Anything Goes” at the INB Performing Arts Center. In De-cember the group has a bus run to the same place for “Million Dollar Quartet.”

The sticker price for the theater runs goes for $54.50 for the ticket, and $15 for the bus ride.

Why two buses?

Schryvers said if something happens to one bus, the seniors have a backup.

People for People used to pro-vide bus service to seniors here but the group’s funding kept getting cut. They were providing some 50-60 hours of service, and seniors had to continuously pick up more of the cost.

One way to solve that and get

out of the bus business was to do-nate the bus to the seniors.

The seniors provide their own drivers. Both buses are wheelchair friendly, with lifts.

The theater trips look like they will be popular. Six have already signed up for the October event. You can sign up at the Senior Center.

Workers place 1,200-pound blocks on the 1,100-foot long retaining wall at the K-12 school building site in Coulee Dam. Here Scott Conant, of Coulee Dam, moves one of the blocks into place as it is lifted by equipment operator Jason Mucciaccio of Spokane. The wall will take some 4,000 blocks to complete. — Roger S.

are shut down. The Indian Health Service clinic had been unable to see patients.

“It’s been very grueling,” Finley said.

Some of the most recent Colville Business Council documents were lost in the fire, Finley said, but most had already been archived off site.

But other crucial records were lost, which could affect tribal programs that operate on federal grants.

“I can tell you without a doubt that there was a lot of original cor-respondence lost,” Finley said.

Investigators were working to determine the cause of the fire.

Tribal police early Monday morning were looking in Coulee Dam for a vehicle possibly con-nected to the fire, according Coulee Dam Police records.

Local car re-creator known nationallyby Roger S. Lucas

Mike Mooney is a magician of sorts.

Not the sleight of hand kind, but the type that takes a pile of material and makes something beautiful out of it.

Mike builds cars, the custom and hot rod type.

His cars are eye stoppers. The attention to detail … the paint … the upholstery … the chopping and fitting.

Mike was named to the Street Rod Hall of Fame in 2010. It wasn’t entirely because of the cars he builds, but also because of the help he provides to other people.

Then in June, Mooney took the Best Paint Pick award at the National Street Rod Association’s Northwest Nationals in Vancou-ver, Wash., where 1,304 cars were in competition. Even better, the honors went to his 1949 Ford painted in Mooney Yellow, a color actually named after Mike.

His cars are stored in two large workshops. He has all his own equipment, save a sandblaster, which belongs to Kary Byam.

He has collected tools from a 35-year career as a mechanic.

You could say he has oil and grease in his veins. But you won’t see oil and grease when you go into his workshops.

Mike is the kind of guy who sees an old rust bucket of a car or truck parked in a field and his mind helps him paint a picture of what might be done with it.

No doors — no problem. No hood — no problem. No trunk lid — no problem.

Mike makes many of his own parts. One of his workshops are full of bins of vehicle parts. Ask for

a part, and if Mike has it, he can walk right to it.

He even builds his own frames, and often makes over cars so that you have trouble figuring out what it was when he started working on it.

He paints his own pinstriping with a special brush — freehand and straight as a ruler.

He says he used to work long, long hours in his shop, and con-fesses he now puts in just a few hours a day.

“I couldn’t have done any of

this without my wife, Judy,” Mike states.

She set up a car account for him. When he sells one of his cars, the cash goes into this account and finances his next car project.

Mike and Judy go to a lot of car shows, and drive one of his rigs. They attract a lot of attention.

When asked if he gets offers on his cars, or does he plan to hold on to them, he said, “They are all for sale.” For a price, of course.

Mike picked up a rusty old Model A shell for $700, a project for this winter. He has already done

some work on it and plans to take on the challenge when the weather starts turning bad.

He has a second Model A hull alongside his home; and it looks pretty bad.

Mike always starts by sand-blasting both the inside, outside and the frame.

Mooney restored his first car back in 1964, a ’34 Chevy. That took about a year.

You’ll find Mike and Judy buzz-ing around in one of his re-built rods on their way to Flo’s Cafe, a regular coffee stop for the retired mechanic and his wife.

Safeway mgr. making changesby Scott Hunter

Since arriving in April, the new Safeway store manager in Grand Coulee has been working to correct weaknesses in the store and repair some community relations, he told chamber of commerce members Thursday.

Ryan Dykes stood in his Army National Guard camouflage to talk to the gathering at SunBanks Lake Resort’s Cantina, having driven back from a Yakima base to give the talk.

Dykes said that on his first day, he walked over to the Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce office to ask about join-ing the organization as the third largest employer in Grand Coulee. The store joined this month.

“Apparently, no Safeway man-ager has done that yet,” he noted.

He said he’s working on a list of concerns customers provided him, including long checkout lines and too many items out of stock. The latter has been cut from 500 to 250 items on average at the store, which takes in about $250,000 in sales a week.

Dykes, a quartermaster, had planned on a career in the Army, in which he enlisted in 2004, but Safeway recruited him in a special program to hire 1,000 military of-ficers. Some 286 have joined the company so far, which provides a 41-week training program.

Dykes said the promise of a

store near his hometown of Omak sealed the deal for him, and he and his wife just bought a home there.

Asked about the possibility of the store adding a gas sta-tion, Dykes said he’s been told that can’t happen until the store brings in $300,000 a week.

Speaking in the outdoor res-taurant with temperature in the mid-90s, Dykes noted the store leads the 300-plus outlets in Safeway’s Northwest Division in at least one category of sales — ice — a fact he attributed to good service from supplier Coulee Ice.

Coulee RecollectionsTen Years Ago

A woodpecker stuck its beak where it didn’t belong yesterday and set off a fire that brought several fire departments to put down the blaze. A canoe more than a cen-tury old became the latest ad-dition to the Colville Tribe Mu-seum Sunday as it made the trip from Winthrop to Coulee Dam.

Weighing Washington’s high cost of doing business

Gov. Jay Inslee was in New York for the world roll-out of BMW’s new electric car, the BMW i3, which is partially built in Washington. We are all justifiably proud of our state’s role and see the car as a harbinger of Washington’s economic future.

The BMW i3 features parts made from carbon fiber processed at the SGL plant in Moses Lake. Because it is strong and lightweight, carbon fiber is used in the production of jetliners, fighter planes and race cars. Now, it’s making its way into the retail market to produce lighter. more fuel-efficient vehicles that retain their strength and safety ratings.

The $100 million SGL plant is located in Moses Lake largely because of affordable energy from hydropower and tax incentives that en-courage companies to locate in rural areas.

SGL currently employs 80 people and we hope that number will grow. “We’ve got a great opportunity to build a whole ecosystem of industrial development around carbon fiber in our state,” said the governor.

But that growth is not assured.SGL would like to expand its Moses Lake facil-

ity, but the tax incentive that helped convince the company to locate there has expired. That puts a microscope on other factors that make Washington a high-cost state in which to do business — and those costs will weigh heavily on SGL’s decision whether or not to expand.

For example, workers’ compensation is an insur-ance program for workers injured on the job. Wash-ington has the highest workers’ comp benefits in the nation. Until recently, those high costs were masked by income from the state investing employer pre-miums in the stock market. But the 2008 recession blew a big hole in that income, and we have not yet fully recovered.

Another big cost driver for Washington employers is unemployment insurance (UI). Our state has the fifth highest UI benefits in the nation. Ironically, the burden of those costs on employers is magnified in times of high unemployment, and they continue to weigh heavily on employers, even as the economy slowly recovers.

Our state’s top manufacturer, The Boeing Com-

pany, is dealing with many of those same issues.The Seattle Times reports that, while Boeing is

optimistic about the future of its 787 program, which is headquartered in the Puget Sound region, the com-pany’s need to reduce costs is hampering job growth

in Washington.Asked about recent job cuts and

future job prospects, Boeing’s chief financial officer, Greg Smith, says the company is focusing on growing jobs elsewhere, in lower-cost regions of the country.

“We made choices to go to more affordable areas with the business to…drive productivity and profit-ability,” said Smith. As a result, says Smith, Boeing is shifting work to

sites “where we see lower overall cost rates.”“We peaked out [Washington employment] last

year,” said Smith. “We’re starting to come down this year and will continue to assess that going forward.” Boeing defense jobs in the Puget Sound region have dwindled as well.

The Boeing Company was founded in Seattle in 1916 and has been part of our state’s identity for almost a century. But that’s no guarantee it will remain here.

Perhaps it is time to build on the success of tax incentives that convince employers to locate in Washington by offering similar incentives to existing employers to expand and add jobs here.

Employers need a consistent and predictable tax and regulatory environment to make long-term plans. That translates into good family-wage jobs with benefits.

Competitive pressures never cease, and firms such as Boeing and SGL are constantly re-evaluating their costs and productivity. If they’re not competitive, they won’t expand. Ultimately, they will leave.

Similarly, state lawmakers should constantly re-assess the impacts of business costs in Washington and ensure that we offer competitive advantages to employers.

Washington state has many attributes that attract new employers to our beautiful state. The challenge may be convincing them to stay here.

The Star and the Spokesman Review recently published a news article and an editorial regarding Mayor Snow’s embarrassing posi-tion and belief paradigm regard-ing the public’s right to access the town’s records and documents. As it is, Snow considers and has openly stated, that (some) requests to review public records are ha-rassment of the town and its offi-cials. However, the preamble to the state’s Public Records Act differs. To wit: “The people of this state do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies that serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the

people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may maintain control over the instruments they have created...”

Additionally, we all expect the opportunity to participate … to ask questions, offer suggestions, and provide input to our elected officials during open-session coun-cil meetings. Yet recently, Mayor Snow enacted additional restric-tions on our ability to do that by imposing further restrictions for public input and participation at council meetings.

These two attempts to cloud a transparent government actually

are at odds with Mayor Snow’s con-cern for “his” clerk’s workload. If we are restricted from questioning our Town Council, the obvious solu-tion is to request the public records that will provide the answer. His own policies have exacerbated his own problem! It is clear that those agencies promoting transparency and participation are less bur-dened by the Public Records Act. When any elected public official lobbies the Legislature to impose restrictions on our right of access, they are lobbying against those very folks that elected them.

Hero in the woods and other stories at camp

Well, we just returned from our annual campout at the “Plantation.” A year ago I wrote about the huckleberry expedition and the devastation of the storm that went up the San Poil Valley. The remnants of the storm are still there in the forms of trees broken off half way up and logs still ly-ing around after their fall, but for the most part a full recovery has been made.

It was a hot trip this year, be-tween 90 and 100 degrees most of the time. The shade brought much needed relief and that is where most of the berry picking was done. Squirrels and chip-munks where abundant this year, including a squirrel we named Spot that was the camp host and mascot. I think she was sad to see us leave, via the thrown pine cones at Brad and Nickel.

By the way, I’m not the hardcore woodsman that I thought I was. Karrie wanted to feed the animals, and I said No! But within 20 minutes I was hiding almonds around the camp for the little guy. We also had a mouse that liked to sleep under the Oliver’s tent. Or not sleep; it was apparently after a hidden snack. I spotted two Grey Jays on a walk one morning, beautiful and playful birds. There were geese this year on the lake, first time I’ve seen geese sharing habitat with the loons. No elk this year, although the sign was there. The second night there, a bear strolled through the campground, or so we were told, and on another night Nickle could hear what she thought was a bear breathing outside her tent. It turned out to be three whitetail deer examining our goods.

We had the privilege of spending time with friends

this year. Phil and Linda Hansen along with Sadi, their black lab, joined us this year. And yes, Karrie and

Phil obviously cheated at pinochle. (Right Linda?) I did get some good advice from Phil while in the plantation one afternoon: “Picking huckleberries is like hunting.” He is right, and it makes picking these elusive little purple creatures a lot more manly.

We also had other visitors from the Coulee drop in. Gary Haven and boys, Travis and Taylor, Toni Seylor, Rocky, Dakota, Hailey, Al-lisa, Dakota and the Stine family all stopped by at one time or an-other. A lot of fun times were had,

and I could write about a lot of them but I promised I would not. But I will tell two. Sorry, Gary.

Gary had not been there 20 minutes before the camp host advised him he was in trouble. So it ap-pears that Gary’s reputation is state wide. Good news though, Gary still has all of his trucks. (Winks at Gary, ask him about it.)

There was a hero among us. Taylor Haven, Boy Scout, was playing a very hilarious game with us one night, when our Princess started choking on, ironically, a Laffy Taffy. While the rest of us thought she was just laughing really hard, Taylor jumped up and gave her the Heimlich maneuver. He saved her life. Thank you, Taylor, for your quick thinking and jumping to action. We would give you a merit badge for heroism if we had one.

It is always hard breaking camp but it always has to be done. See you all in camp next year.

Jeannie Redthunder-MoonJeannie Redthunder-Moon,

76, passed away from this life on Thursday morning, July 25, 2013, in Grand Coulee, Wash., surrounded by her family. Born Sep-tember 26, 1936, into the Nespelem, Wash-ington, home of Joe and Lucy Redthun-der, Jeannie graduated from Nespelem High School in 1954, after which she attended Kinman Business Col-lege and Wenatchee Junior College. On November 27, 1970, Jeannie married Virgil R. Moon in Tacoma, Wash. Jeannie returned home to Nespelem, where she worked as a financial clerk for the I.I.M. but was best known by many for her volunteering throughout the community including the Ne-spelem School Board for 45 years, longtime member and the First Vice President of Nespelem Ameri-can Legion Post #114 Ladies Auxil-iary, the Drum & Feather Club, and PTA to name a few. For her tireless efforts to better her community, Jeannie was honored as the com-munity’s 2012 Volunteer of the Year. Always proud of her heritage, Jeannie was an active member of the Seven Drum Religion and loved passing the traditional ways such as root gathering, berry picking and the making of delicious fry bread to the young.

Jeannie enjoyed watching both the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners through their good sea-sons and not-so-good seasons, was an avid bowler and loved cooking for her family and friends who have wonderful memories of her “Cran-berry Special” jello recipe, her lus-cious biscuits and the mouthwater-

ing dish which earned Jeannie the nickname, “Moon-Pie”.

Preceded on her journey by her parents: Joe & Lucy Redthunder, son Lau-rence Heath; brothers: Alvin, Morris, Kenneth and Norman Redthun-der and sister-in-law Sharon Redthunder; Jeannie’s proud leg-acy lives on through her devoted husband of 42 years Virgil R. Moon; children: Lu-anna Francis, Aletha Heath, Ronald J. Moon (Ginell) and Roy J.

Moon; numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren; broth-ers: Wilferd Redthunder (Atwice), Keith “Soy” Redthunder and Jack-son Redthunder; sisters: Dorothy Camarena and Joanne Redthunder as well as many, many nephews and nieces.

Jeannie’s dressing and 7 Drum service was held Friday, July 26, 2013, at Strate Funeral Chapel in Grand Coulee. On July 27, at 7 p.m., a family wake was held at the Nespelem Community Center in Nespelem, with her 7 p.m., community wake on Sunday, July 28, and a sunrise burial at Chief Joseph Cemetery in Nespelem, on Monday, July 29, 2013.

James (Jim) Alberg PryorJames (Jim) Alberg Pryor was

born on June 14, 1932, in Glendale, Calif., and passed away peace-fully on Saturday, July 27, 2013, surrounded by his family, while the sun was rising on the Coulee walls in Grand Coulee, Washing-ton. Jim graduated from Coulee City High School in 1950. On April 2, 1954, Jim married Norma Sin-cock. To this union there were four children. Jim was an avid hunter and fisherman, and enjoyed taking his family camping and backpacking in the mountains. Jim always said that he was most proud that he taught his children to be independent and to think for themselves. He served his country in the U.S. Navy and was a medic in a MASH unit in the Korean War. After Jim was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy, he owned and operated a Union 76 gas station in Highland, Cali-fornia. In 1960, Jim and Norma moved to Electric City, Wash., where he worked for his father running the Union 76 bulk plant. Jim then went to work for Darigold and was the milkman for many years. When people told his kids that they looked like the milkman, they were correct.

After Norma passed away in February 1988, Jim met Suzanne Olson and they were married in September 1989. To this union, Suzanne brought her five children. Jim embraced Suzanne’s children and loved them as his own. Jim was known as a “Jack of all trades” and was a perfectionist of all he did. He was always busy doing little jobs around the house and was always willing to help all his kids in any way he could. The best way to describe Jim is that he was a very committed husband, father, and grandfather.

Jim was preceded in death by his first wife Norma, his parents Howard and Hilma Pryor, Norma’s

parents William and Arbutus Sincock, Suzanne’s mother, Ruth Klusmann, brother Richard Diet-

erich, and his youngest daughter, Barbara Pryor.

He is survived by his loving wife Suzanne Pryor, son John Pryor (Cheryl), daughters Carol Brock (Jeff), Beverly Pan-ther (Mark), stepsons Mike Olson (Mava), Da-vid Olson (Bobbi), step-

daughters Kris Bauer (Tony), Melissa Harding (Shane), Jenny Wisniewski (Darryl), his brothers Rod Pryor, Scott Pryor, and sister Joyce Allen. Jim is also survived by numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A viewing will be held Thurs-day, August 1, from 4 - 7 p.m., and Friday, August 2, from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m., at Strate Funeral Home in Grand Coulee. A graveside service will be held Friday, August 2, at 11 a.m., at Spring Canyon Cemetery in Grand Coulee.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Hemochromatosis.org Funding Research and Aware-ness, in memory of James Alberg Pryor. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)

Transportation Improvement Board

Low Energy Lighting ImplementationSealed Bids due 2:00 PM August 14, 2013.Advertisement for Bid.

The Town of Coulee Dam, Washington, in conjunction with the Wash-ington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) invites bids to replace 291 utility grade high-pressure sodium (HPS) cobra-head style lights with new energy efficient and sustainable light-emitting diode (LED) street lights as a part of a TIB funded LED feasibility and implementation project. All the existing luminaire arms, poles, pole foundations, wiring, and conduit will be maintained and will not be replaced as part of this project.

The goal of this implementation project is to provide lighting im-provements that will lower energy consumption and maintenance costs while providing light levels along the roadway that, at a minimum, meet current levels. Therefore, both the obtained light levels and the operating wattages of the luminaires are important. The 291 cobra-head style HPS luminaires are located within the city limits.

The City is seeking bids to remove the existing HPS cobra-head luminaires and install new LED luminaires in their place. The LED street lights must be sufficient to light streets to the specified stan-dards. The contract will be issued to the successful Bidder under a Price Agreement.

Questions and requests for information, including contract plans and the standard specification requirements, should be submitted via email to the TIB, attention Clint Ritter at clintr@tib.wa.gov or via phone at 360-586-1151. Any questions must be submitted no latter than seven days before the bid opening.

A copy of the plans and the standard specification requirements for this project will be available at the following locations:

Keller community comes together for bullying prevention message

July 18, 2013 – The Keller Com-munity came together for a night of Bullying Prevention education, dinner and a movie. Reservation families came together to “Stomp Out Bullying.”

The evening began with a dis-cussion about what bullying is, why people bully and how to pre-vent bullying. Three generations were represented as community members took turns sharing their experiences with bullying. Linda McLean, Extension Educator with WSU Colville Reservation-Ferry County Extension, provided ex-amples of types of bullying and how to recognize bullying. “Bul-lying is an intentional and repeti-tive act,” stated McLean. She went onto say “Bullying can be direct aggression, such as pushing/shov-ing, or indirect aggression, as in social isolation or spreading lies/rumors about someone.”

After the bullying prevention message, youth and adults were treated to a pizza dinner and a movie, entitled Crooked Arrows. The movie was about a Native American lacrosse team who over-came obstacles to win a champi-onship. The message of the movie was: by working together, follow-ing rules, respecting one another and honoring traditions, commu-nities can unite and support one another in their journeys.

Research shows that an es-timated 160,000 students miss school every day due to fear of bullying or harassment. Bullying causes fear and creates a climate of disrespect in schools and it has a negative impact on student learning. One study showed 60%

of those characterized as a bully in grades 6 – 9 had one or more criminal convictions by age 24.

This event was organized and hosted by the Keller Community Club, along with partners Colville Confederated Tribes Tribal Health program and WSU Colville Res-ervation-Ferry County Extension. Funding for this event was made possible by Colville Tribal Com-

munity Network/Skilskin. If you would like more informa-

tion on this program or how 4-H can assist with bullying preven-tion, please contact Linda McLean, Colville Reservation-Ferry County Extension Educator, (509) 634-2305 or ljmclean@wsu.edu . Or you may contact Dan Fagerlie, Project Director, (509) 690-0009 / (509) 775-3087 or fagerlie@wsu.edu

Compiled from police files

Grand Coulee Police7/18 - An Electric City man told

police that someone had taken his cell phone from his car while he was shopping in Safeway. He said officials at the store refused to let him look at security tapes. Later he told police that he had parked his vehicle on the roadway the night before, where Safeway security cameras couldn’t capture it.

7/21 - Police were called to Cou-lee Boulevard East in Electric City, where a man was throwing his live-in partner’s things outside. Police explained that he could not do this and he agreed to stop. The woman involved packed some items while police stood by.

- Police learned from an Elec-tric City man that his ex-wife had sent him text messages, which he stated, was in violation of a court order. Police are investigating.

7/23 - Police stopped a man be-cause his license plate light wasn’t functioning. He showed police a handwritten note saying he had insurance, which the police refused to accept. He was cited for not hav-ing insurance.

- A man was cited for indecent exposure for urinating near a church on the corner of Banker and Roosevelt Drive. Police found the man sitting in a nearby park and told him that the restroom there was open 24 hours a day and he should use it. The man said he shouldn’t have urinated near the church. He was cited. Later the same day, a woman from a Hill Av-enue apartment said the same man was in her yard and intoxicated. He was told to leave or he would be arrested.

- A Van Tyne resident called police to report that a man was walking up and down the road-way wearing only underwear. The man was located and since he was covered he was just advised of the complaint.

7/24 - A man lost his brakes and the vehicle he was driving crashed into the backyard of a residence on Sunny Drive in Electric City.

- A man on Goodfellow in Elec-tric City asked police to check on the welfare of his young daughter. Police refused because, the report stated, the man had lost his paren-tal rights with the child.

- While police were looking at a residence on Burdin Boulevard for a man who was wanted on a war-rant, they found another man hid-ing in the closet who was wanted

on a Department of Corrections warrant. He was taken to Grant County Jail.

7/25 - Police spotted a man walking on SR 155, near milepost 24.5 who was known to be wanted on a felony warrant. When the warrant was confirmed, he was taken to Grant County Jail.

- A man at Coulee Medical Center reported that his cell phone had been taken and he had tracked it to Okanogan County by using GPS tracking. He was told if it showed that the phone was stationary that he should call Okanogan County to follow up.

- An Electric City man reported that someone had stolen some coins and a watch from his prem-ises. Later a Grand Coulee man said he had purchased the items not knowing they were stolen and immediately called the victim so he could look at them and identify the items. Police are looking for the suspected thief.

- A woman on Burdin Boule-vard reported that a small, black dog with white feet was loose and was defecating on her lawn. Police couldn’t find the dog.

- A Coulee Dam officer reported that someone had struck a light pole at Riley Point and that it was down on the roadway. The pole was moved and traffic cones placed around it.

7/26 - A woman on “E” Street reported that someone had taken a Glock gun from her residence. She gave police the name of a man who had been in the house and it was discovered that he was in Okanogan County Jail.

by Frankie Delano

A famous baseball player named Yogi Berra made some hilarious comments on his view of life and ev-eryday activities, using the English language and word combinations to get his points across, so here’s a Yogi-ism that Detective Frankie D. overheard at a recent yard sale: “Cash is as good as money!” Now, that makes sense. The word cash has a nice ring to it. So, when you see an ad for an estate sale or a yard sale that states cash only, no checks or credit cards, remember what Yogi said. C-a-s-h!

Oh my gosh! Or as Robin said to Batman in those old, collect-ible comic books, Holy Toledo! Last weekend, the heat, the dusty roads, the traffic jams, didn’t keep the crowds away from a top-notch, two-day estate sale at Electric City, where early morning shoppers rubbed elbows as they checked out hundreds of collectibles and household items including some great older furnishings. A couple of treasure hunters, buyers who are also known as pickers in the world of buying and selling old stuff, raced through that sale, buying up vintage stuff right and left.

Detective Frankie D. found a hardback book in good condition about the life of Roy Rogers and Dale Evens, priced at 25 cents, and some 1940’s aluminum animal-shaped cookie cutters for 10 cents

each. Just so you know, the cookie cutters are considered collectibles but not valuable because there are still so many of them available everywhere. Just a week ago, at the downtown Goodwill store in Spokane, some cookie cutters, as described above, were out on the shelves -- six cutters in a bag for $1.99 (plus tax, of course). So there you are; shop local first.

Kudos to Karen and Guy for hosting a downsizing yard sale at their beautiful Grand Coulee home last Saturday. Karen advertised her sale as an epic event, and that it was. She had hundreds of items for sale, all organized in boxes and on tables with furniture and larger pieces on the driveway. Get this. One shopper was overheard saying, “So much to choose from, so little time.”

Here’s a tip. If you can, make more time when you go to a sale advertised as epic. That way, you can get down to the nitty gritty, working your way up and down the tables loaded with treasures. You might have to fight off a few shoppers, the ones that I call long-reachers. What they do is reach over the top of a person’s shoulders or around elbows to grab up some-thing they want, just as you are reaching for it. Those darn long-reachers are everywhere.

Time’s up here at The Star. Back in a couple of weeks or may be sooner. Happy Trails, shoppers.

Thank You From The Ridge RidersOn behalf of the cowboys and cowgirls and all the JR. Rodeo contestants THANK YOU to ev-eryone who supported the Ridge Riders func-tions this year - from the Banquet and Auction in April to the Jr. Rodeo in July. Without the support of the local community sponsors and Friends, we could not bring these activities into the area.

A big THANK YOU to our corporate sponsors: Jess Ford, Coulee Dam Casino, Coulee Dam Federal Credit Union, Coulee Medical Center, DWK Fowler Construction and AG Link.

I would like to give an extra special thank you to:

• DWK Fowler Construction for all the work Wayne and his crew did to help with the Banquet and Auction and getting the grounds ready for Colorama Rodeo.

• Evergreen Implement in Coulee City for providing a beautiful John Deere tractor to work the arena at all of our events

• Coulee Ice in Electric City for providing ice for all our events. The cold drinks went over well on those hot summer days.

• The Star Newspaper for the great coverage of our events.

Thanks everyone for a great Ridge Rider season. Now its time to take a breath and get started on planning next years events.

Monty Fields, TreasurerRidge Riders
