Man dies in
ATV accident
A 64-year-old Mansfield man
died Monday when the four-wheel
all-terrain vehicle he was driving
overturned on top of him 300 yards
from his home about 1 p.m.
Rhett J. Wall suffered internal injuries
when the 2009 Honda TRX500
lost traction as he was headed up a
slope. It rolled backwards, landing
on top of him as it rolled over before
it ended up another 44 yards away,
the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office
reported.
Mansfield Ambulance took Wall

Budget hearing for
schools slated
The Grand Coulee Dam School
District will hold a public hearing on
the next school year’s budget at the
beginning of the board’s regularly
scheduled meeting, Monday, June
25, at 6 p.m.
The public will have the opportunity
for input. At the meeting, the board
will revise/adopt the budget. The
budget proposal can be reviewed
at the school district administrative
office in Coulee Dam anytime prior to
the meeting.
A lighter moment
City council meetings are not
always serious affairs. Grand Coulee
Councilmember David Tylor, at the
end of last week’s meeting asked
Mayor Chris Christopherson if he
could get some drier weather because
his tomatoes were not doing
well. The mayor referred it to the
sewer committee.
Volunteer fire
department full
Grand Coulee Volunteer Fire
Chief Rick Paris told the council that
he now has a full contingent of volunteers,
30 in number, and possibly
some on the waiting list. He said that
in all his years on the fire department
it is the first time that the department
has had 30 firefighters and some on
the waiting list.
High-grading
for the city
The Grand Coulee City Council
gave public works director Dennis
Francis the go-ahead to find someone
to purchase the brass parts of
water meters being replaced in the
city. City workers will dismantle the
meters and recover brass parts and
the city will sell to the best source.
Home fair to
be offered
The Colville Indian Housing
Authority will have its 6th Annual
Home Fair, Thursday, June 14, lasting
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the
July Grounds at the Colville Indian
Agency. In addition to lunch and
snacks there will be door prizes,
entertainment and valuable local
resources for home and family. The
public is invited.
Thanks for
the great kids
The Tall Timber Ranch near
Leavenworth wrote to the Grand
Coulee Dam School District to thank
the board for allowing sixth grade
students from the Grand Coulee Dam
Middle School and Nespelem School
to attend outdoor education classes
at their resort.
“Your kids were a pleasure to work
with. They were enthusiastic about
each activity, polite, well-mannered
and behaved, helpful and respectful
of our community.” The board was
also thanked by letter by several of
the sixth grade students.
Board vacancies noted
The Okanogan County Board
of Equalization has two vacancies
and those interested in serving

Lake Roosevelt graduates honored
their past and looked to the
future Saturday as they accepted
awards, accolades and diplomas,
words of wisdom and hope.
The 53 graduates garnered
more than $570,000 in scholarship
offers and, during what was
likely one of the last graduation
ceremonies to be held in the current
Lake Roosevelt High School
gym, received acknowledgement
for contributing more than 6,400
hours of volunteer work in the
community.
“There is so much potential
sitting behind me,” noted Valedictorian
Jesse Adkins in his address.
“These students are leaders,
scholars and artists.”
State Sen. Linda Evans Parlette
(R-Wenatchee) praised the
group for “already learning about
advocacy,” as she read the class’s
recent letter to federal authorities
to argue for federal money to
complete the funding to build a
new school complex.
Parlette’s representation in
the state Legislature is largely
responsible for the $31 million in
the budget to build a new classroom
building that students will
start using in 2014. But millions
more are needed to complete the
complex.
“We recognize the job is not
finished. As a legacy of the Lake
Roosevelt High School Class of
2012, we call on representatives
of the federal government and its
agencies to appropriate the funds
needed to finish the job,” Parlette
read to sustained applause.
She credited the community

for not giving up on replacing the
school that was built the same
year she got out of kindergarten.
“It’s time for a new school,” she
said.
Addressing the class, she told
them to look for the “transferable
skills” they will gain in life, noting
that she learned about customer
service as a waitress working
through college, a skill she still
uses.
“With a strong work ethic, focused
persistence, and some sort
of skill that will allow you to earn
a living, you will be successful,”
she said. “Never give up. And congratulations
to all of you.”
The audience gave her a standing
ovation.

of alleged mismanagement of tribal resources by the
Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The agreement with the 9,500-member Colville
Tribe is part of a $3.4 billion settlement reached with
tribes representing hundreds of thousands of American
Indians whose land trust royalties were mismanaged.
The agreements are the result of a class-action
suit filed in 1996 by Elouise Cobell, a member of the
Blackfeet Tribe who died last October of cancer.
Most Colvilles Friday were sharply critical of the

fun and prizes
Lots to do this
Saturday
Koulee Kids Day will provide
a lot for kids and parents to do
around town Saturday, and kids
can win prizes, too.
Start out by picking up an entry
form with a map of the fun stuff.
They will be available Saturday at
Coulee Hardware, Funzee’s, and
the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s
Visitor Center.
Kids who visit at least four of
the starred fun sites on the map,
and get them initialed by an adult
at that place, are eligible for prize
drawings at the Village Cinema
following the 1 p.m. movie, Despicable
Me. The cinema is offering
the movie at a reduced rate of $5,
which includes a small soft drink
and small popcorn. The drawing
will take place just after the
movie. The child whose name is
drawn must be present to win.
Prizes sponsored by the chamber
of commerce include a Kindle
Fire, a two-man tent, a fishing
pole, snorkeling gear, an inflatable
boat, several passes to the movies
and more.

Park district prepares
for bigger budget
by Scott Hunter
Park district commissioners
Monday accepted a 10-year management
agreement with the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation and prepared
to pass a supplemental budget
that would allow the district
to spend more than $100,000 this
year, almost all of it from grants.
“That’s amazing for an organization
that has … no source of
income,” commented Chairman
Phil Hansen.
The Coulee Area Park and Recreation
District has never collected
taxes, but has relied on agreements
with local municipalities
for funding the upkeep of North
Dam Park and Events Center.
The district received word two
weeks ago that it would benefit
from a $50,000 Title 28 grant
through the Bureau of Reclamation,
much of which will be used
to repair or upgrade facilities
with an eye toward complying with
the Americans with Disabilities
Act. The federal grant requires the
park district to match the federal
contribution.
More than $30,000 has been
pledged from Electric City, Coulee
Dam and Grand Coulee for this
year.
District commissioners will hold
a public hearing on the supplemental
budget of $108,800 on June 21 at
4:30 p.m. at the Grand Coulee Dam
Middle School staff room.
Commissioners also voted to
accept a memorandum of understanding
with the SHARP Kids
after-school program, which plans
to embrace the cause of maintaining
the Gerkhe Windmills at North Dam
Park as a service learning project.
Hansen said he wants to establish
usage fees for the park at the
next meeting, July 9. Current fees
are copied from old city of Grand
Coulee schedules, but are mostly
reimbursable to users.

tribes have voted to pay 100 percent
of their settlements directly
to members.
Joanne Sanchez had collected
1,783 signatures of Colville members
on petitions throughout
several reservations seeking a
50-percent share for members.
CBC Chairman Michael Finley
last week issued a statement explaining
the decision was meant to
protect members from tax liabilities

by Roger S. Lucas
Colville Tribal members go to the
polls this Saturday in an election
that threatens to replace several
Business Council incumbents.
The election, always hotly contested,
is more so this time since a
$193 million settlement with the
federal government has become a
campaign issue.
Many tribal members are requesting
that the Colville Business
Council give half of the settlement
for per-capita distribution.
The Business Council has already
gone on record that it plans
to give 20 percent of the settlement

In between the Visitor Center
and the prize drawing, several
great activities await.
Among the specials and activities
already scheduled:
• Kids can fish in a huge tank
provided by the Colville Tribal
Fish and Wildlife Department. It
will be set up at the Colville Tribal
Museum in Coulee Dam.
• The museum itself will also

members,” Finley stated.
Paying out a large amount to
individual members could also affect
their eligibility for federally
funded, tribally managed programs
on which they currently depend, the
statement said.
And reducing the number eligible
for such programs could also cut
the budgets for those programs and
tribal jobs.
Many tribal members at the rally
weren’t listening to that reasoning.
Many said they don’t trust their
tribal leaders to do the right thing
with the money.

Sweetheart deal from
USPS would hurt us all
A government sanctioned monopoly is conspiring
to undermine the free market and democracy
itself.
No, I’m not wearing a tinfoil hat. Unfortunately,
this impossible sounding scenario could
be approved tomorrow (Thursday) by the Postal
Regulatory Commission. If it is, you may not be
reading any newspaper, including this one, in a
couple of years.
The United States Postal Service is desperately
seeking new revenue. In order to get it, it’s
proposing to strike a sweetheart deal with the
largest single junk mail dealer in the country,
Valassis. USPS wants to give that private company
an exclusive 22- to 36-percent discount on
what it miscalculates will be “new” advertising
mail pieces.
The effect would be to cut out the only remaining
revenue pillar holding up the daily
newspaper business, mid-week preprinted insert
advertising.
It’s a misguided notion at best and would
likely backfire: Newspapers would seek alternative
delivery systems that would push further
into the USPS’s prime business; and circulars
delivered inside newspapers now would go with
Valassis, weakening newspapers without adding
delivery volume for USPS.
Some folks might be tempted to think none
of this matters because news is all gathered by
Internet news workers now. That is far from

the truth. Almost all of the great discussion you
read on the Internet today stems from original
reporting done by newspapers.
An analysis of the proposal by the postal
commission’s independent public representative
opined: “The effectiveness of our democracy
depends on an informed electorate, which
depends on how much, and how effectively the
news gets reported. That still depends to a very
large extent on the large but shrinking cadre
of reporters that only newspapers are willing
to employ …”
Employing reporters is made possible by advertising

A predicted drier summer
This past May brought us our third consecutive
year with a below mean temperature for our region
of Washington state. The mean for May is 58.5°F.
Here is what I’ve recorded at the home weather station
over that past four years. 59.4°F (2009), 54.3°F
(2010), 54.5°F (2011) and 57.3°F (2012). We almost
cracked the 90-degree mark on May
15th with an 89.3°F. That was only
one of three days at 80 degrees or
above. Precipitation has been all
over the chart. This year I ended
the month with only 0.28 inches,
while the three past years were
- 3.34 inches (2011), 2.41 inches
(2010), and 0.88 inches (2009).
Well, we are rolling into June
our third hottest month of the year.
Here’s what we can expect for June
according to the Climate Prediction Center (CPC),
“The CPC three-class summer (June-July-August
JJA) temperature outlook has equal chances of below,
equal to, or above normal temperatures for the entire
state. The JJA precipitation outlook shifts the odds
toward a drier-than-normal, three-month period,
however. There is at least a 33 pecent chance of
below-normal precipitation statewide, with chances
exceeding 40 percent for eastern Washington State.”
The CPC goes on to state that the eastern side of
the state will likely see above-normal temperatures
for the three class period of July-August-September
( JAS). It’s their prediction, not mine – I’m just a
weather hobbyist!
If you were around in 1948, you may recall the
heavy spring flooding that occurred from May into
June in the Northwest especially along the Columbia
River. There was widespread
flooding in northern Idaho,
eastern Washington and along
the Columbia River to the Pacific
Ocean. The Columbia River
below Priest Rapids hit a flood
record of 458.65 feet well above
the flood stage of 432.0 feet.
We local amateur astronomers
got beat out by overcast
and rainy weather for the Annular
Eclipse of the Sun that
occurred on May 20th. Not to despair though, there
were two more events to watch in early June. The
partial eclipse of the Moon on Monday, June 4 and of
course the big event on Tuesday, June 5, the transit
of Venus between Earth and the Sun. Well, our ever
present “friend” the weather got us again, and no
viewing the partial eclipse of the Moon or the transit
of Venus – bummer! All is well though, as we’ll have
some meteor showers later this summer and many

A moment to stand still
Next week is the summer solstice, denoting the
longest day of the year and the official start of summer.
For some cultures this is a day
of marked celebration. In our own
country it seems that many years
this day can be passed by with a casual
nod from the local weatherman
mentioning the peak of daylight
hours for the year.
Danielle Vick
When I was in my 20s, I spent
a summer working as an environmental
researcher in Sweden.
Before that time, celebrating the
summer solstice was not something on my mental list
of noteworthy holidays, but in Sweden it is a national
holiday and one with supreme cultural importance.
For a country that is very dark much of the year,
the general populace tends to transform into a sunworshiping
frenzy for the brief summer months. As
the sun doesn’t ever quite disappear except for an
extended period of hazy twilight, this makes some
sense. For a transient visitor like myself, I enjoyed
watching people bask so thoroughly in something
that I had typically taken for granted. Their simple
joy was infectious. When the solstice came, I joined in
the masses and made my way out to the countryside
to stay up through the sun-soaked night, weave a
crown of wildflowers on my head and dance around
the Maypole.
Since that time, I have always noted the summer
solstice with fondness and an interest I didn’t have
before. It seems to me that such a day deserves some
attention. After all, we owe much to the sun.
The term “solstice” is a Latin term that literally
means the sun “stands still” and traditionally was
used as a term to define an exact moment in time.
Today we use it to define the day that has the longest
period of daylight.
Ancient cultures used the summer solstice as a
moment to pause and celebrate life in between the
busy times of planting and harvest. Most societies
tended to focus on celebrating the sign of fertility in
the earth and the immense power the sun held over
their livelihoods. They rejoiced with feasts and yearly
rituals, such as leaping over bonfires to determine
Ten Years Ago
“Too much water and not enough
buyers,”said Bonneville Power Administration
Spokesperson Mike
Hanson. The laws of supply and
demand, plus a fire north of Los
Angeles led to the rare occasion
last weekend when water flowed
over the front of Grand Coulee
Dam.
Grand Coulee Dam set a new
precedent recently when it generated
more megawatts of energy in
and hour than ever before. Monday
between noon and 1 p.m. 5,969
megawatts of electricity per hour
were generated at Grand Coulee
Dam, said Bureau of Reclamation
Public Affairs Officer Craig
Sprankle.

A man who lives in Grand

promotion last week that significantly
increases his responsibilities.

Twenty
Years Ago
The LRHS class of 1992 received
diplomas before a packed
and swelling audience in the school
gym last Friday evening. Ninetytwo
seniors and three foreign
exchange students took part in
the school’s 21 st commencement.
Valedictorian was Amy Alling and
Charles Short was salutatorian.
Roni Gross and Benjie Dupris were
class speakers.
Employees, retirees and friends
of the USBR are invited to a ceremony
on June 17 to celebrate the
Reclamation’s 90 th anniversary.
Thirty Years Ago
The GCD School District held
a reception June 7 honoring retirees.
They included Pete Epperson,
Edgar Isbell, Josie Esau, Cliff
Selle, Joyce Behrens and Myra
Dechenne.
The GCD Coors fast-pitch team
rolled by Davenport to up their
how high the crops would grow. The Druids celebrated
the solstice as the day of the wedding of Heaven
and Earth, and even today the
summer solstice is considered
a “lucky” wedding day. Most
celebrations of the summer
solstice tend to pre-date Christianity
but aren’t wholly pagan
in nature. Christians placed the
feast day of St. John the Baptist
on the day of his birth, a few
days after the solstice, instead
of the more typical feast day
celebration for saints on the day of his death.
In modern times, countries around the world have
varied celebrations. In Austria a flotilla of ships
sail down the Danube, large bonfires are lighted all
around Quebec, Denmark, Hungary, Germany and
Estonia, while Italy and Ireland celebrate with fireworks.
In our own country, celebrations tend to congregate
in cities with large populations of immigrants
from Northern European countries such as New York,
Minneapolis, Chicago and Santa Barbara.
Perhaps the largest celebration takes place at the
great monument of Stonehenge in England. British
subjects are allowed access onto the site, which is
normally roped off, on the days of the summer and
winter solstice. Perfectly aligned toward both the
rising and setting sun on the solstice, the site has
enormous religious, astrological, and spiritual significance
in both modern and ancient times.
Another ancient structure constructed to highlight
the interaction between earth and sun is the Mayan
Temple of Kukulcan, which signals the precise moment
where the sun “stands still.” At that moment,
if viewed from above, one would be able to see the
south and west sides cast in shadow and the north
and east sides blazing in the sun.
This year, the sun will “stand still” on June 20
at 4:09 p.m. PST. If you find yourself aware of the
time next week, take a moment to stand still and be
thankful for the bountiful gifts the sun provides us
before the earth’s axis tilts again, sending us back
toward shorter days and longer nights.

Edna (Eddie Mae) Alling Pfeifer
Rosemary Evers
Graveside services for Rosemary Evers will be
held Saturday, June 16, at 4 p.m. at Spring Canyon
Cemetery in Grand Coulee. Rosemary passed away
January 24, 2012.
Edna (Eddie Mae) Alling Pfeifer,
age 82, passed away on Wednesday,
June 6, 2012, in East Wenatchee,
Wash., at the Highline Care Center.
Eddie was born November 27,
1929, in Almira, Wash., to Benjamin
and Edna Alling. She graduated
from Almira
High School,
Class of 1947.
On February 22,
1948, she married
Cecil Pfeifer
at the Alling
family home in
Almira.
Her formative
years were spent
in Almira (during
the nine months
school was in
session) and on
the Alling family
ranch north
of Grand Coulee,
(during the three months of summer
vacation).
Over the span of her life she
worked at many different jobs,
including butchering turkeys at a
turkey farm, driving wheat truck,
flagging for a spray pilot, serving
as Wilson Creek, town clerk for 10
years, and taking the town marshal
duties in Wilson Creek for the
midnight to 4 a.m. shift. After her
divorce in 1980, she worked as a
certified nursing assistant at the
Columbia Basin Nursing Home in
Ephrata, Washington.
Eddie was very active in many
organizations. She was a member
of the American Legion Auxiliary
and Eight and Forty, the Rebekah
Lodge, the Grange (seventh degree),
VFW Auxiliary, Grand Coulee
Dam Area Seniors, and the
Fraternal Order of Eagles.
For most of her life she lived
in Wilson Creek, and a few years
in Ephrata. In 1992 she moved
to Electric City, and in 2003 she
moved into the Grand Coulee Dam
Senior Manor in Grand Coulee.
She was preceded in death
by her 22-month-old daughter
Charlene; her parents Benjamin
and Edna Alling, her sisters Zelia
Sanderson, Nell Trefry, and Benna
Scott; her brothers Joe Alling,
George Alling, Norman (Deke)
Alling and Jim Alling.
She is survived by a sister, June
Weber of Moses Lake, and five
children: Ron Pfeifer (Bienvenida)
of Randle, Wash.; Sandi Pfeifer of
College Place, Wash.; Debbie Pfeifer
Bilodeau (Les) of Kennewick,
Wash.; Heidi Whitney of East
Wenatchee; and Mark Pfeifer (Erika)
of El Paso, Texas. She is also
survived by 11 grandchildren: Jason
Pfeifer (Stephanie) of Pullman,
Wash.; Nathan Pfeifer of Seattle;
Adrian Pfeifer of
Seattle; Chalese
Rabidue of College
Place; Starr
Carroll of Moses
Lake; Raymond
Grove of
Phoenix, Ariz.;
Lacey Grove of
Redmond, Wash.;
Adam Pfeifer of
Sonora, Calif.;
Patrick Pfeifer
(Nicole) of Baumholder,
Germany;
Keyton Bilodeau
of Des Moines,
Wash.; and Jadon
Bilodeau of Soap Lake; and by six
great-grandchildren: Alex Pfeifer,
Kaleb Pfeifer, Ian Calhoon, Ava
Calhoon, Jaime Pfeifer and Annika
Pfeifer; as well as many, many
nieces and nephews.
One of the greatest joys in Eddie’s
life was time spent at Swan
Lake on the Republic Ranger
District of the Colville National
Forest. She had a life-long love
affair with the lake. Eddie was
first introduced to Swan Lake by
her older brother Joe when she was
10 years old. Joe took her and a
bunch of the neighboring farm kids
to the lake in the back of an old
truck. When she had kids of her
own she introduced them to Swan
Lake, and they would camp there
with numerous aunts and cousins
for two to three weeks each summer.
In her later years she was
asked by the Forest Service to be
the camp host at the lake’s campground,
which she did for about
12 years. She thoroughly enjoyed
helping her camping customers
and working with the ranger district
recreation staff.
Per Eddie’s wishes, cremation
will be performed under the direction
of Strate Funeral Home of
Grand Coulee. A memorial celebration
of Eddie’s life will take
place later in the summer. A notification
of the memorial’s location
and date will be posted at a later
date. In lieu of flowers, memorial
contributions may be made to a
charity of the donor’s choice.

a report of a woman floating on
a raft. Later the woman came
ashore and walked into the campground.

driver who was cited for following
too closely. There was minor
damage to the patrol car and no
injuries.
6/4 - A resident who lives on
O’Sullivan Road reported to police
that someone had entered
his home and taken a variety of
items totaling about $1,500 in

on a warrant, was seen near
North Dam Park, arrested and
taken to Grant County Jail.
6/6 - A contractor working on

by Electric City Hall and get a
proper license to work within the
city. The contractor explained to
the officer that he was told by the
homeowner that he didn’t need a
license to do the work.
- Police cited a resident on 2nd
Street in Electric City after the
man’s dog got loose and killed a
neighbor’s cat. Police requested
the city council to review the report
to determine if the man’s dog
should be declared dangerous.
6/7 - A man on Weil Place told
police that he thought someone
was trying to break into his
house. He told the officer that
he heard a scratching noise and
took the officer to the bathroom
window where he pushed on the
glass, which fell into the house
and broke. The report said there
was no evidence that anyone had
been at the window.
- Police checked on a suspicious
person report on Midway. The
officer found a man walking on
SR-155, who told police that he
recently had twisted his knee and
was trying to walk it off.
- Two Electric City residents
and a Nespelem woman were
arrested after an altercation
on W. Grand Avenue in Electric

injuries at Coulee Medical Center.
The three are being charged with
first-degree burglary for forcing
their way into a house.
Coulee Dam Police

after requesting information on
the pair that one’s driving status
was suspended and the other was
a convicted felon.
6/3 - A complaintant admitted
his concern was “petty” when
he told police that his neighbor
backed out of his driveway and

Grads should know: things change
I attended my nephew Jesse
Billups’ (state wrestling champ)
graduation at ACH two weeks ago
and Lake Roosevelt's last week
end. What
awesome ceremonies
they
were.
It got me
thinking
about 20 years
ago when the
class of 1992
at LRHS put
on our gowns
and caps and
set sail on our
adventure.
Jess,
shut up!
Jesse Utz
The unknown that lay ahead: I
want to do THIS, but what about
THAT. College, military, parenthood
and careers, all the dreams
and ambitions that only a young
woman or man can have. Back
20 years ago, I personally did not
listen to much advice. Save your
money; go into the Air Force; go
to a community college first; slow
down; enjoy family; go on an adventure.
These are all things I ignored
and now pass on to current
grads as advice of my own.
The truth of the matter, though,
is that things change. Little decisions
can have a life altering
impact. You meet the “right” girl
or guy, things change. You get
injured, things change. A parent
passes away suddenly, things
change. Unfortunate circumstances
make things change. We just
don’t know what lies ahead.
As the class of 1992 gathers this
August for our 20-year reunion,
we will come together as a class
of changes. Some achieved their
goals they set in ’92, others will
still be working on it. Some will
have altered their course dramatically.
Some won’t be there at all.
Some who wanted out of Grand
Coulee so bad will be living here
happily raising their kids.
There will be teachers, coaches,
lawyers, bankers, mothers, and
fathers. There will be a bus driver
and minister, a business owner
and a politician. Some will be rich,
some poor.
We will remember
Shannon
Nason and
Rob Williams,
and tears and
smiles will mix.
Key people will
not be there
for many different
reasons,
but we will
ask, “Where
are they” and
someone will
let us know.
I could not have guessed in a
million years how things would
be for me now, as will be the case
for many of my former classmates.
But the one thing we will all have
in common is that we have made
it this far on our adventure. Some
are scared, some are frightened.
Some are strong and ready for the
next 20. But whether we want to
or not, the journey continues and
we must face it.
So my advice for the class of
2012 is really very simple when
I say it, but is most difficult to
achieve: Enjoy it. What ever job
or school you pick, make sure you
enjoy it.
Work hard, but enjoy the work.
Whatever life hands you, enjoy
it. Enjoy your family, friends and
co-workers. Life is precious and
things change. Enjoy it.
But in those times when you
have a choice to either be bitter
and grumpy or disappointed and
down, find what gives you joy and
cling to it. Nothing is set in stone.
Things change.
