VOL. LXXIII NO. 21 SERVING THE GRAND COULEE DAM AREA, WASHINGTON STATE AUGUST 21, 2013
Newsbriefs
Hospitalreports a gain
Coulee Medical Center re-ported a net gain for the month of July of $124,899.
The good month eases an overall loss for the year that stood at $317,758 on net patient revenues of $12.3 million.
Deaths in Okanogan County
Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers found his agency dealing with two unrelated deaths Monday.
Carissa L. Amundson, 22 of Omak, was killed as she was ejected from a 2001 Ford Focus as it rolled after it didn’t make a curve on Fish Lake Road about six miles north of Conconully about 6:30 a.m.
About 45 minutes later, deputies were responding to a report of a shooting victim on Cow Camp Road on Pontiac Ridge out of Chesaw.
They found a victim shot to death as two subjects from the west side of the state were grouse hunting.
Names were not released pending notification of next of kin.
No arrests have been made, but the sheriff is treating the incident as a murder investiga-tion, the county’s fifth this year.
Time to honor those who serve
The Grant County Board of Commissioners yesterday voted to proclaim September as Na-tional Preparedness month in Grant County, urging all citizens to “join us in recognizing and supporting those who volunteer and serve.”
New grant license offers local opportunities
Young man perishes in Kansas accident by Scott Hunter
Anyone who has ever tried to work in community economic de-velopment has heard it repeat-edly: “You guys should just get a grant.”
Easier said than done, most of the time, but opportunities do exist. Finding them is often the problem.
But not one that would stop Birdie Hensley.
Hensley has had a goal for years of founding a local museum that would showcase the area’s rich history and its pioneers. In the last year she has turned to focusing on that goal. With that in mind, she helped arrange and attended a webinar (an online seminar) in July sponsored by the Grand Coulee Dam Area Cham-ber of Commerce and held at Cou-lee Medical Center’s education room.
Participants learned about an online tool that helps people like Hensley search for foundations that offer grants, matching them up with those supporting similar goals.
Only about 10 percent of such organizations even offer a web-site, Hensley reported to chamber
of commerce members at an Aug. 15 luncheon.
The “FoundationSearch” prod-uct gleans more information than can be found online by collecting publicly accessible IRS reports that detail such gifts and their purposes.
Subscriptions to the service are sold by Metasoft Systems Inc, which claims the resource includes data from more than 120,000 foundations that give bil-lions of dollars annually to non-profit organizations such as the chamber.
Somewhere in there, there has to be money for a museum.
Hensley went to work to find the funds for a subscription, and it didn’t take long.
Them Dam Writers writing group, and an organization that has money from publishing a book about the area called “Pioneers to Power”, agreed to help, each with a $2,000 gift.
“They were excited about it and just wrote me a check,” Hen-sley said.
Hensley’s own company, 4-Bears Storage, along with local writer Edith Lael came up with another $600, enough to buy a $4,600 two-year subscription to
the database license under the auspices of the chamber of com-merce.
At the chamber meeting, Hen-sley and chamber manager Peggy Nevsimal demonstrated the new tool.
Hensely searched for grants
for “arts and culture.” Some 891 grant opportunities popped up from organizations that have giv-en $40 million in that category.
The tool is available for the next couple of years to help find funding for area projects.
Birdie Hensley stands in front of the new temporary home of the Cou-lee Pioneer Museum in Electric City at 3 Coulee Boulevard. Hensley, who sparked the founding of the museum is collecting historic display mate-rial. The museum may be open limited hours soon, and with some luck could benefit from the new grant database subscription for which she spearheaded funding. — Roger S. Lucas photo

Family and friends are griev-ing for a young man killed in an electrocution accident last week.
Dakotah Holt, a 2011 graduate of Lake Roosevelt High School, was following his chosen career as a lineman in Kansas Thursday when a new power pole he and other workers were setting up fell against a nearby power line after wind twisted it from the grapple hooks on a boom truck, according to news reports quoting the Bar-ber County Sheriff ’s Office.
Holt, 20, an apprentice lineman with Track Utilities and 29-year-old Michael Rowan of Garden City were touching the pole as it was energized from the line.
Holt was taken to a hospital in Medicine Lodge, Kansas, where he later died. With less severe in-uries, Rowan was taken to a burn unit at a Wichita hospital.
After graduating from LRHS, Holt attended Northwest Line-man College in Meridian, Idaho. He was living in Sharon, Kansas, according to his Facebook profile, where he worked for Meridian-based Track Utilities, Inc.
“He was the kind of person that (it didn’t really matter who it was) if he could make your day better, he would do that,” said Hanna Doughty, a good friend who graduated with Holt in Cou-lee Dam. “When he did touch your life, it was instantaneous.”
A 7 p.m. recitation of the Ro-sary will be held at St. Henry’s Catholic Church in Grand Cou-lee on Friday. A memorial mass is scheduled there for 11 a.m. on Saturday.

Horse rescuers workfor double benefitMatching horses with kids, both can benefitby Roger S. Lucas
Remy, Snickers and Baby are ready to help some kids.
The three horses, rescued from mistreatment, will help kick off a new program to help kids in the area.
Chris Holman, president of The Nourishing Hand, an equine rescue group, takes mistreated or neglected horses and uses them in a therapeutic program that helps both the animals and kids at the same time.
The group contacted school offi-cials and board members recently to explain how caring for an ani-mal was good therapy for special needs students and others to help them take hold of something that was both demanding and reward-ing, and very personal.
Remy, 20; Snickers, 34; and Baby, 13; were all rescued through the Okanogan County Sheriff ’s Office and the courts.
The animal mistreatments could and do include lack of feed-ing, general care, and cruelty.
When sheriff ’s officers come on to these types of issues, the case goes to the court system, where it is determined if the present owner can become better at taking care of the animals.
The Nourishing Hand can take over here and work with the owner to teach them how to take proper care of their horse or horses.
In extreme cases, where there is no hope of this happening, the court awards the horse to The Nourishing Hand, and that’s where Holman and his chief as-
sistant, Heather Downs, come in.Kids come in and get acquaint-
ed with the horses and bond with an animal. Then it is up them,
Heather Downs and Chris Holman are shown with Remy, one of The Nour-ishing Hand’s rescued horses. The group is trying to connect kids with horses in a therapeutic program out of its operation in Delano.

Port district honors volunteersby Roger S. Lucas
Port District officials recognize the value of volunteers.
Praise for volunteers cropped up at the Port District’s monthly meeting last week when Commis-sioner Dennis Lohrman told how it would have been virtually impos-sible to run the Banks Lake Golf Course this year without them.
Port District 7 owns the golf course and has managed it the past two years, this year with a large number of volunteers.
Saturday night volunteers were honored by port commission-ers at a dinner fundraiser at the
golf course.Those honored included Jerry
Birdwell, a former port commis-sioner; Ron and Sue Bjorkland, Doug Boll, Lowell Bowman, Dick Brockway, Bobby Carlson, Betty Davis, Billy Desautel, Moe & Kathy Evans, A.J. Gerard, Tag Grier, Gary Haag, Lowell & Bird-ie Hensley, Kay Johnston, Randy Larson, Sally McDowell, Helen Olbricht, Carl & Sandy Sheehy and Donna White.
“Without their willingness to help, the course would not be as enriched as it is today,” Port Dis-trict Chairman Orville Scharbach

Save for more important things
with proper guidance and instruc-tion, to help care for the horse.
This includes feeding, brush-ing, riding, and general care.
The horses learn how to trust humans again, and the kids gain confidence in themselves.
A perfect result, says Holman.Downs made the presentation
to the school board and was met with enthusiasm.
“It’s another way that kids can learn from something outside the box or normal teaching methods,” Holman says.
Just how well it takes off de-pends on how quickly the schools jump in and match up kids and the horses.
The setting is in Delano, at 58070 Spokane Boulevard, the current site of the old Green Hut building.
The Green Hut was a famous restaurant in Coulee Dam’s early days and a portion of the restau-rant was moved to a site in Del-ano.
Holman and Downs, with the help of some local people im-pressed with the possibilities, built a small corral on the prop-erty.
Jess Ford provides hay for the horses; North Cascades Bank has provided some cash for incidental expenses, and KEYG Radio has supplied the posts used to build the corral.
Holman noted that he plans to take courses at Washington State University to become a licensed horse therapist, a modern day “horse whisperer” type.

Athletes headed to coulee for big raceby Roger S. Lucas
Hundreds of athletes from throughout the United States and Cana-da are putting their finishing touches on training for the 10th annual Grand Columbian Super Tri triathlon scheduled here Saturday, Sept. 21.
Some 300 to 325 athletes are expected to compete.The event, sponsored by Tri-Freaks, a Kirkland racing firm, will
kick-off all swimming events at Spring Canyon Campground, with the bike portion of the tri-event beginning at the end of the swim and ending at the park below the Visitor Center at Grand Coulee Dam. There, the running portion of the event will begin feeding runners to the Downriver Trail.
Friday evening at 6 p.m., competitors and their families, along with the rest of the community, can eat a carb-loading dinner at the Naza-rene Church, put on by the local Rotary Club.
A post-race day brunch is planned for 10 a.m. Sunday, Sept.22, at the Eagles Lodge in Grand Coulee.
man spends with horses and get-ting this program underway, he also is a full time employee at Safeway. Downs, who has four children, also provides countless hours with the horses.
Founder of the rescue club,
Janice Andrews, some five years ago, has a ranch where she pro-vides some shelter for the rescued horses in Oroville.
Now it is up to the kids and horses to get the program doing its therapeutic work.

said.Port officials also recognized
Mike Parisian for his dedication and valued contribution to the running of the office. Also hon-ored were Gordon Myrick, Herb and Linda Sherburne, and Stan and Cheryl Conklin for funding the evening meal for 24 senior citizens.
Parisian manages the golf course front office and Conklin is a former commissioner.
The port district took over the golf course two seasons ago when the course was in danger of clos-ing.
Chamber plans community yard sale for upcoming festival by Roger S. Lucas
When does a yard sale become a “park” sale?
September 13 and 14, to be ex-act.
Those are the dates for the Grand Coulee Dam Area Cham-ber of Commerce’s community yard sale at North Dam Park.
It’s part of the chamber’s fall Harvest Festival, with activities
planned for the entire family, and even your pets.
The community yard (park) sale officially begins at noon on Friday the 13th, and goes to dusk. It resumes at 8 a.m. on Saturday and goes to dusk again.
Chamber Manager Peggy Nevsimal said that there will be security on site so community members can leave their tables overnight. She also noted that community members who want
to participate in the yard sale can set up an hour before starting times.
The chamber is charging a $10 fee to enter the North Dam Park sale, good for both days. Those selling must furnish their own tables.
Nevsimal stated that the cham-ber’s beer tent will be open from 5-10 p.m. on Friday and from 3-10 on Saturday.
There will be hay rides Satur-
day from noon to 4; a costume pet show contest Saturday from 11 a.m. to noon; a petting zoo also on Saturday from noon to 4; and “chalk in the park,” an opportuni-ty for kids to show their art skills from 1-4 Saturday.
It will be all good fun. And you won’t have to leave the park for lunch, because the Rotary Club plans a barbecue from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The worst kind of newsAlong with many others, we were saddened this
week by the news of Dakotah Holt’s death, and our hearts go out to his family and loved ones.
As a child, Dakotah was a Star newspaper car-rier for a time. He was a bright, ambitious kid who
seemed eager to do well as we followed his progress through high school.
The world is diminished without him in it.Scott Hunter

Might want to rethink that positionSome local municipal councils have passed laws
banning local participation in what appears to be on the way to becoming a legitimate enterprise: grow-ing marijuana.
With the state’s passage of Initiative 520 last year, and with the guidance last week from the fed-eral Justice Department on how that will jive with federal drug enforcement efforts, local leaders might need to consider to loosening up a bit.
Voters passed the initiative to legalize recreation-al marijuana last fall, and not because they all want
to get high. Most just recognize the supreme waste of public resources committed when the full weight of the justice system is regularly brought to bear on hapless partyers.
The feds will emphasize enforcement of federal marijuana laws as they apply to those who sell to minors. Perhaps local agencies should be instructed to do the same.

It saddens me that I may perhaps have to step down, step back from my political views, advocacy for our tribal peoples. My son TJ was working at the Manson casino as a dealer and has been gone for personal reasons. When he left, he was assured he would be most welcome back and that a position “would be there for him.” Now they make excuses they cannot put him back on.
He was quite successful as a dealer for the ca-sino and was quickly offered a supervisory position. NOW, they refuse to take him back ... POLITICAL BS!
I have offered up — for him, to help him — come stay with me in Spokane and get set up here.
Our Council is destroying our tribe, our working peoples, personal lives, our administration, our fiscal sustainability, all in the name of personal agenda, personal gain. Need I say more! It is sad, sad, sad.
Please, peoples, finish out those recall petitions! recall all ... recall all... RECALL ALL. Like Lynn Palmanteer Holder said in her campaign letter promises: TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW!

On the minimum wage debateThe SeaTac minimum wage
initiative is in limbo.The central element of Proposi-
tion 1 is a $15-per-hour minimum wage for workers at SeaTac Air-port and area hotels, restaurants and car rental agencies. But, it also includes a complex web of employee work rules enforced by the city of SeaTac.
On Aug. 26, a King County Su-perior Court judge ruled that Prop 1 did not have enough signatures to qualify for the November bal-lot. Proponents have gathered ad-ditional signatures and appealed the judge’s ruling.
Regardless of what happens in SeaTac, the issue of a higher minimum wage will come before voters. The Service Employees In-ternational Union (SEIU) is orga-nizing protests by fast food work-ers and others here and across the nation, demanding a $15 hourly minimum wage.
Because of that, it’s important to understand the consequences -- intended and unintended -- of such measures.
Although Washington has the highest minimum wage in the na-tion -- $9.19 per hour indexed to inflation -- supporters say it’s not enough. In addition to a $15 hour-ly wage, Prop 1 specifies worker retention procedures and details the conditions under which em-ployees can take sick leave. Op-ponents say it’s tantamount to a union contract enforced by the city.
Ironically, the initiative can be waived in union contracts, even if the union jobs pay less than $15
per hour. This would have had the effect of pressuring employ-ers to agree to union contracts to avoid its provisions -- although supporters aren’t pub-licizing that point.
Another problem with Prop 1 is that 90 percent of the workers it benefits live outside the city of SeaTac, yet city taxpayers are on the hook for enforce-ment costs. In addition, Proposi-tion 1 is unfair. It would establish a two-tier wage structure in which some employees earn 63 percent more than others doing the same work.
Of course, we would all like people to have better jobs and more money, but this isn’t the way to do it.
Historically, minimum wage jobs have been the first rung on the ladder for millions of young people entering the job market -- a place to learn work skills and gain experience. Minimum wage jobs were never intended to be a career, but rather the beginning of a career path.
For example, Scott Ostrander started as a bellman, carrying guests’ luggage for $2.13 per hour and tips. Today, he’s general man-ager of the Cedarbrook Lodge, one of the hotels targeted by the ini-tiative.
Washington is already a high-cost state for employers, with the nation’s highest workers’ comp benefits and fifth-highest un-employment insurance benefits.
When you add to those costs, something has to give. In this case,
it’s jobs. A study
by the Washing-ton Re-s e a r c h C o u n c i l (WRC) esti-mates that increasing the mini-mum wage
to $15 per hour will eliminate 5 to 10 percent of those jobs. In the end, you might have higher pay-ing jobs, but fewer of them. Is that what we want?
In addition, WRC says the initiative would push out many current workers as more quali-fied applicants, attracted by the higher wages, flood into SeaTac to take those jobs.
So, if not Proposition 1, what?In the short term, all minimum
wage workers should be informed about the federal Earned Income Tax Credit, which provides up to $6,044 per year for low-income working families. For the lowest level workers, that’s equivalent to a $3-per-hour wage hike.
The long term solution is eco-nomic growth. As the economy expands, more jobs are created and employers compete for work-ers with higher salaries and bet-ter benefits. Trying to artificially impose higher wages will slow job creation -- the opposite of what we need and want.
Smells like a locker room in hereDo you smell that in the air? The smell of dirty
sneakers and cleats, sweaty football pads and gym socks. Yep. High school and middle school fall sports is upon us. Parents will soon be finding the trail of backpacks, gear bags, sports shoes and water bottles leading to an exhausted child snoring on the couch.
This child will be roused just enough to eat, do some homework, take a shower, (hopefully) and crash into his or her bed only to do it again the fol-lowing day. Parents will be begged for Gatorade, energy drinks, fruit, and pain pills as the season goes on.
The inevitable conversation will come up with the first-time Pirate footballers: “Mom/Dad, I don’t think I can do this; I wanna quit.” The parents will respond with, “You can’t quit, finish what you start, it will get better, trust us.” Guess what, after that first or second game, it will all be worth it. And IT IS!
Volleyball players will learn to love the sound of screeching sneakers, and the pain of court burns. Black and blue forearms will be a badge of coolness as the season progresses, and keeping score of how many times you hit an opponent with a spike and a teammate with a serve will give you bragging rights all year.
Oh yeah. The runners. Their sport is others’ punishment. They will be running all over Coulee Country trying to shave seconds off their best time — some eyeing a state championship, others just trying to survive it.
We must not forget the cheerleaders. Hours of chanting and dancing and pyramids. They bruise too, black eyes and sore tailbones Lost voices and cold cold weather. All to inspire the athletes on the field and arouse the butts in the stands.
Coaches that will put in hours viewing tapes, making lists, encouraging players, defusing parents and losing patience. Oh and they still have wives and lives to tend with. Kids will balance school, playbooks, friends and family. They will miss events for the mandatory practices and study hall. Athletic
directors will break hearts and push for more suc-cess in the classroom. Bus drivers will find them-selves the subject of roadtrips and see first hand the agony of defeat and the pride in winning.
The fans will come out and cheer for the kids they know, and while they do, be excited by a kid they don’t know. We will cheer, we will cry. We will
win. We will lose. We will com-plain (we always do). We will celebrate.
Before we even get started, I want to thank all the coaches in Raider football, volleyball, cross country, Pirate football, volley-ball and in Raider cheer. And to all the others behind the scenes and in the stands, thanks to you too. Support our kids in athlet-ics and school and we will all succeed.
See ya at the game, and, oh yeah … HIT SOME-BODY!
•••I wrote this column before hearing of the heart-
breaking passing of Dakotah Holt. I seriously debat-ed on rewriting this week’s Jess Shut Up to tell you some things about the young man I knew. But after a night of thinking about it, I decided that Dakotah would want this column to stay in here and moti-vate the Raider and Pirate athletes, not to mention the fans of these sports and athletes.
I had the privilege of helping coach Dakotah dur-ing football a few years back. He was one of those rare guys that knew he was not the best athlete out there, but he sure wanted to be. He would work hard, he was a good leader and he learned from his mis-takes. He wanted to be a better teammate, player and leader and was always asking what he could do better. I think he carried that over to his life too.
He was carving out a good career for himself and really succeeding. He was liked by everyone that met him. Just go look at his Facebook page. God must have had some power lines down in heaven and needed a good lineman up there.
This column is dedicated to Dakotah Holt. He will have the power restored when we get there.

Ten Years Ago Singing, fireworks and the dedication of Cou-
lee Dam’s Douglas Park have all been planned this weekend for the ceremonial end of summer. The Labor Day weekend activities include 14-year-old singer Jared Wagner at the Grand Gallery theater Saturday, the Spokane band “Sidetracked” followed by the laser light show and fireworks on Sunday and the dedication of Douglas Park Monday.
Boat Races - Saturday and Sunday Sept. 6-7 at Sunbanks Resort, Osborne Bay.
Morgan’s Musings: Sam Halvorsen has a point. A very good point, as a matter of fact. Why isn’t there a place in the Grand Coulee Dam area for a kid to legally use a skateboard? Just to refresh your mem-ory, Halvorsen is the young man who wrote a letter to The Star last week regarding the use of skate-boards in Grand Coulee and Coulee Dam. He said he was told by three business owners, the USBR, local churches and a cop on the beat that he and his friends cannot skate in front of the businesses, on federal property, city streets or the hallowed pave-ment in front of churches.
Twenty Years Ago Adam Bradley, son of Dave and Sandy Bradley
of Coulee Dam, recently completed the necessary community-service work to earn the title of Eagle Scout. Bradley worked on a landscaping project at the Coulee Dam City Hall.
Winners of the Over the Dam 10K run were Shelley James of Anchorage and Adam Leahy of Kennewick.
Friday night’s storm washed a huge crevice in the bank along highway 155 just above Coulee Play-land exposing utility lines.
Jason Miller, a senior at Lake Roosevelt High School, earned a top 10 award at a cross country
camp this summer.
Thirty Years Ago Even though the weather during the middle of
the summer was atrocious, at times the tour count has shown a dramatic increase. At the Visitor Ar-rival Center, an increase was shown from 102,118 in July of 1982 to a total of 215,756 this year.
Three runners that have been participating in every Over the Dam Run since the beginning include Mike Muller, Orville Sharbach and Hilary Brown.
According to a federal court order issued in Spo-kane last week all those still occupying spaces at Earl’s Trailer Park in Coulee Dam are summoned to appear and show cause for their continued occu-pancy there.
Doris Cobb of Coulee Dam caught a 9-pound walleye pike last Wednesday evening downriver. She said she had been fishing only 10 minutes when she felt the fish bite.
Forty Years Ago Five prospective bidders took part in seeking the
job for the construction of a new Grant County Pub-lic Utility District Office building.
A tribal lawman was shot to death and his sus-pected assailant critically wounded in a gun battle Monday morning at a remote farm house on Owhi Flats near Nespelem. Slain was Roy Bradshaw of Omak. Suspect Larry Lemery of Inchelium was listed in satisfactory condition in Mid-Valley Hospi-tal in Omak today where he underwent surgery for gunshot wounds in the chest.
Mayor L. F. Carlson and the Grand Coulee City Council accepted the resignation of Police Chief Gay-len Dice. Dice has accepted the post of chief criminal deputy for the Lincoln County Sheriff ’s Office.

Workshop offered for students who want to start classes at BBCC
A workshop for students who plan to start classes at Big Bend Community College in January of 2014, will be held Sept. 10, in the BBCC library.
“Some students are not prepared or unaware of the process to get started,” said Rita Ramirez, BBCC Coordinator of Student Recruitment and Outreach. “This workshop will help potential students under-stand the process and prepare them to enroll winter quarter.”
BBCC’s enrollment is historically high in winter because so many people in the area work in agricul-ture during the fall.
The workshop is geared to providing students with information about admissions, financial aid, other funding opportunities, applications, place-ment testing, new student orientation, and a review of programs of study available at Big Bend.
Before attending the workshop, students should try completing a FAFSA application online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. BBCC’s school code for that application is 003770.
The workshop will be held from noon to 1:30 p.m. in room 1802 of the library. For information, contact Ramirez at 793-2072.

Shopping and junking in the couleeby Frankie Delano
Hey, shoppers, did you miss me? So now it’s after Labor Day weekend, which, in the wonder-ful world of shopping and junking signals (gasp!) the possibility of fewer yard, garage, moving, and special interest (antique and col-lectible) sales being held in the Coulee.
We still have a few more weeks of possibly acceptable weather for outdoor sales, that of cool morn-ings and balmy afternoons, which allow us ample opportunities for running the yard sale gamut, like getting to and then walking around tables and tarps loaded with mounds of great stuff, just waiting there for us to show up. Let the sunshine reign in the Coulee.
Anyway, here’s something re-ally important for you shoppers to ponder when you are sitting around with nothing much to do, and to play off of Tom Hank’s quot-able lines in Forest Gump, Junk-ing is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.” How sweet junking is!
Remember, let’s not take of-fense when someone asks you what you’ve been up to and you reply, “junking in the Coulee.” Why? Because junking took a gi-gantic, upscale leap when the re-cession hit a few years back. Now, everybody, including the rich and famous, are doing the junking dance. Labor Day weekend was a buyers’ paradise for shoppers on the hunt with cash in hand, starting with Friday’s early bird specials.
Here’s a tiny look at some great buys you missed out on if you weren’t out there wading through
the piles with us. Across from The Pub, Karyn, with the help of fam-ily members, especially Karaoke Kevin, a cousin here for a quick visit from Indiana, had a great se-lection of home fashions (the new buzz phrase for home decor), and plenty of gal stuff, nice clothing, accessories and high-end cosmet-ics. So much to choose from, so little time … but guess what we saw there? A grouping of hand crafted table-top decorations, made especially for a previously held, local high school prom, and fashioned in rich, dark colors. The fancy ribbons, jewels and feath-ers, a la New Orleans style, were eye catching and beautiful.
About Kevin. You might say that he’s an unsung comedian, a great sales helper and has been known to belt out a few Garth Brooks songs like The Dance when he’s visiting in the Coulee.
Did you stop by the estate sale on Partello Park? On Friday morning, buyers showing up early were treated to a whole yard full of goodies, the tables loaded up with dishes, kitchenware, and bedding with some furniture set out on the lawn and a bunch of floor clean-ing buckets and vacuum cleaners, too. Over 200 tiny, mostly ceramic shoes and 50 or more crystal and ceramic bells, a partial represen-tation of a mother and daughter’s lifelong collections, were up for sale and really fun to examine. A close look at some of the thumb-size shoes revealed tiny high heeled numbers with upturned toe boxes. Detective Frankie D. found a new, repo (reproduction of an antique) quilt in a wedding ring design for a few dollars. An antique quilt similar to this repo, made a 100 years ago and in fair condition, would be priced for sev-eral hundred dollars at a vintage shop or market.
Kudos to the gals running the Partello Park sale for their effort to save a pair of abandoned new-born squirrels whose mom disap-peared in the latest windstorm, blowing through the Coulee early last week, and leaving these little creatures homeless but in good hands, after all. On Saturday morning, the babies were sleeping soundly, curled up in a ladies slip-per, and almost ready for another feeding from a dropper containing a formula for kittens.
Time to sign off, so let’s go out with a song. How about this one. Rollin’ on the River, made famous twice, first by Creedence Clear-water Revival in 1969 and then, by the Queen, Tina Turner, in 1971. When you get ready to roll to your next yard or junk sale, go for the song’s repeater, rollin, rol-lin, rollin. Set the mood and enjoy. Happy Sales.

Compiled from police files
Grand Coulee Police
8/27 - A woman told police that a man about 18 years old and riding a kid’s bicycle stopped to ask her if she had recently had a death in the family. The incident occurred when she was walk-ing home to Jackson Street in Electric City after being at a bar. The woman said she had never seen the man before and he was dressed all in black.
- A woman called in to report a missing person. She told police that the man’s cigarettes and cell phone were still in the house. A check revealed that the man had been at the Wolf ’s Den Bar and was seen walking home. The po-liceman found the man in his bed in the house.
- Police checked on a vacant house that was for sale when they saw the front window broken out. Police called the owner who re-sides on the west side of the state. It was reasoned that maybe a limb fell during the recent wind storm and broke the window.
8/28 - A man in Electric City re-ported the theft of a gold-colored pocket watch, a digital camera and two silver spoons. The same man reported that some items, an engine stand, and a tow chain, were missing from his yard.
- The supplier of propane to Banks Lake Pub told police that a propane tank taken by thieves Aug. 19, weighed 600 pounds and that there were about 850 pounds of propane in it. The propane sup-plier said the value of the tank was about $1,500 to $1,700.
8/30 - Police were called to Coulee Boulevard East by a home owner who said someone was on his roof. When the officer arrived the homeowner had two youths on the ground, one 15-year-old and the other a 16-year-old. The two said that they were just hanging
out.The two were banned from the
property.- A man on Stevens Avenue
in Electric City was arrested for domestic violence and taken to Grant County Jail. Police were called to the house by the man’s wife who stated that he had beaten her when she refused him sex.She said the man was barri-caded in the bathroom and had a knife. When ordered, the man came out and showed officers that his thumb was bleeding. The of-ficer was told that he had pulled stitches out of his thumb, but said he didn’t have a knife. He was taken to Coulee Medical Center so his thumb could be taken care of and then taken to jail.
8/31 - A Wilbur man was cited for backing into another vehicle on Midway Avenue and received another citation for not having insurance.
- Police responded to Kelso Avenue in Electric City where a man was in violation of a no-con-tact court order. The officer found that it was his second time for a no-contact violation. The man was arrested and taken to Grant County Jail.
9/1 - A Coulee Dam man re-ceived a number of citations after he refused to comply with police requests that he quit trying to pick a fight at Banks Lake Pub. The owner of the bar said that the man gave him problems after the bar was closed because he wanted some “smokes” and that he car-ried his discontent outside. Of-ficers told the man to quit trying to fight, but he continued causing problems. He was cited for a range of offenses, transported home, and told to keep his court date.
- Police responded to a medical call at the trailer court on Lakev-iew when a man said his brother had fallen off the couch and he couldn’t get him up. Police stayed until the ambulance came.
- A 21-year-old Nespelem man was arrested and taken to Grant County Jail for stealing a vehicle on Kelso Avenue in Electric City. The car was found by the victim’s daughter, who confronted the thief who then ran away. Police found him in a nearby apartment. Police are also asking the prose-cutor to add a charge of malicious
mischief as the car was damaged while stolen.
- Police were called to a resi-dence on Weil Place because a grandmother refused to return her 10-year-old granddaughter to her mother because she stated there was a drug problem. Police said her recourse was with Child Protective Services.
9/2 - A patrolman stopped a car because the passenger wasn’t wearing seatbelt. She was given a ticket and the offender told the of-ficer that she didn’t want him to appear in court when her case was heard.
- An officer pulled a vehicle pull-ing a trailer over because a pas-senger wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. The officer found that the trailer did not have a license. The driver and occupant were both cited.
- A Grand Coulee and Electric City man were cited for not wear-ing their seatbelts after being pulled over near the skating area at North Dam Park.

- Police wrote and gave several warnings to drivers for violations ranging from speeding to faulty equipment.
Rewards of Gardening With Children --Though Now What?By Jeanette Hopkins of Grant/Adams Counties Master Gardeners
If you work with children or you have children at home, many times planting green beans and sunflowers is a gardening activity that stops before reaching har-vest. Children, parents, or leaders then sometimes think once the garden is planted, “Now what?” Some youth continue with their garden projects that can provide nutritious vegetables and oppor-tunities for family time. But other leaders/parents are left caring for gardens alone as children finish some other planned program or lose interest just as harvest is be-ginning.
Finding or creating the right activities for a garden project may be the key to keeping kids involved and excited. Remember to calculate in the time for swim-ming lessons, camps, and vaca-tions. Summer is over quickly and school is ready to begin before you know it. As the adult, be sure to consider your personal time. It is frustrating to try and balance your own commitments with a project that might be more time consuming than originally esti-mated.
Analyzing the age group you are working with, whether toddler or teen, is a key to success. Ques-tions to ponder include: what are the children’s attention spans? And, for older children, what is their realistic commitment time?
Finding the interest level is another key component. I am speaking from seven years experi-ence working with over 200 K-12 students through the 21st Cen-tury Community Learning Cen-ter program in the Grand Coulee area and with 4-Hers in Douglas County. For instance, 10-year-old Johnny may be very helpful building planters, planting veg-etables, and eating the product. However, his interest in watering, weeding, and preserving may not be there at all. Involving him in
small ways in activities that he is not as interested in will have bet-ter results if you don’t insist that he perform daily care. Perhaps he can always make sure the water-ing cans are full, watch for pests on the plants, and identify those pests. Providing support and en-couragement may go a long way to getting positive results.
Have teens? Food! It’s an amaz-ing motivator, but you probably already knew that. When it is time to amend soil, plant, water, cultivate and harvest, most teens like to work in groups. Socializing is key to teens, while being in the garden can provide great snacks at the end of the day! Again, the key here is determining interest. Some teens may be interested in historical or cultural plantings or creating projects with flowers. Others may be focused on soil testing, preserving food, entering items in County Fairs, donating to the local Food Bank or cooking. Focusing on gardens is a great way for high school seniors to per-form community service. It might include planning a field trip to a Farmers Market or a large farm for a broader perspective. From the (volunteer) educator’s stand-
point, keep the work time short, and, once again, end the activity with a great snack. Green beans cooked three different ways was one of the most well-received snacks that I ever provided. Who knew?
This information is really an invitation to visit and really ex-plore JMGKids, the Online Ju-nior Master Gardener Program. This is a certified program with curriculum that leads to a Junior Master Gardener certificate. The site is also student interactive with recipes, gardening and com-posting tips, a wildlife program and one of my favorites, Litera-ture in the Garden. Teacher and Student Guides are available in the Online Store area as well as many other items.
The project I was involved with last year was Creating a Back Yard Habitat for 3rd and 4th grade 4-H members. The projects included inviting beneficial in-sects or animals into your yard. Toads were the favorite!
