Last week the Court of Appeals confirmed<br />
the felony conviction of Michael<br />
Hazelmyer of Springdale. He was convicted<br />
in 2010 of one felony count of Harassment<br />
(threats to kill) in a trial before Judge Nielson.<br />
The Court of Appeals also dismissed a<br />
Personal Restraint Petition which Hazelmyer<br />
had filed which had been consolidated with<br />
the appeal. The dispute arose over an easement<br />
road by which Hazelmyer accessed his<br />
property.<br />
Part of the evidence in the case was a<br />
recorded phone call to the WSP in which<br />
Hazelmyer said he was going to take his .303<br />
out to resolve the dispute. Sgt. Sinclair of the<br />
WSP called him back, and he told Sinclair<br />
that he did own a British .303 and that he was<br />
going to “take him down” (referring to his<br />
neighbor). He made this statement several<br />
times. The neighbor testified he was afraid<br />
of Hazelmyer and took his threats seriously.<br />
Hazelmyer brought several arguments<br />
to the Court of Appeals, but the court did not<br />
find merit in any of them. The next step is for<br />
him to ask the Supreme Court for discretionary<br />
review. This is probably not over yet.<br />
<strong>In</strong> many cases the appeal process can<br />
go on for years.<br />

Probably the most difficult time in driving at night is<br />
during the period when the sun is just starting to come up.<br />
It is almost counterintuitive that with the sun coming<br />
up, you would begin falling asleep, but that’s precisely what<br />
happens. It happens so fast you don’t even know you’re<br />
falling asleep. If you are lucky, you wake up when the car<br />
starts rattling on the shoulder or hits the grooves gouged into<br />
either side of the lanes on the expressway. If you’re not lucky,<br />
then you end up in a pileup in the ditch or head-on with an<br />
innocent person coming in the opposite direction.<br />
If you have time, before stopping, it is sometimes a good<br />
idea to tap your brakes several times to catch the attention of<br />
people behind you to let them know you are stopping. When<br />
you are turning, use your blinkers! It is a state law to use<br />
your blinkers before you make a turn. If for some unfortunate<br />
reason you have to stop beside the roadway, turn your hazard<br />
lights on.<br />
After you have made the decision to turn your hazard<br />
lights on, continually check the rearview mirror because<br />
drunk and inattentive drivers seem to be drawn to these lights<br />
like a moth to the flame. If by chance a car is coming dangerously<br />
close to crashing into your rear end, put your head on<br />
<strong>In</strong> other cases:<br />
The First Degree Murder charge against<br />
Craig Cosby in the homicide death of his<br />
wife Susan has now been set for trial. The<br />
date is March 26. This case has been delayed<br />
in the Court of Appeals on pre-trial issues,<br />
but those have been resolved and the case<br />
will now go to trial.<br />
The trial of Herb Friedlund on multiple<br />
charges related to his care of 106-year old<br />
Francis Swan of Kettle Falls is presently<br />
set for the April trial term, but issues in the<br />
case will probably result in the trial being<br />
continued.<br />
Eric L. Booth, 26-years old, has been<br />
found competent to stand trial in the murder<br />
of 63-year-old Gordon Feist of Colville.<br />
There are also pending murder charges<br />
against Collette Marie Pierce, 25, and Jesse<br />
Fellman-Shimmin, 27, in that case. The<br />
murder is alleged to stem from a botched<br />
robbery attempt.<br />
Remember that persons charged are<br />
presumed innocent unless and until they are<br />
convicted or plead guilty. A charge is simply<br />
and accusation, not proof.<br />

Coffee purchases made at Suncrest Espresso, as well as donations helped the fire<br />
fighters raise just over $300. “The best part was meeting a local five year old boy named<br />
Carter,” said Greg Nowack, one of the fire fighters. Carter is in the beginning of his three<br />
year treatment for Leukemia. Greg continued “He is our inspiration to make the climb to<br />
raise money to help find a cure for these terrible diseases.” The Stevens County Firefighters<br />
are all wearing a photo of Carter on their helmets as a sign of support and will continue<br />
to visit him through his battle.<br />
Thanks for helping to support our fundraising. The climb is on Sunday March 11th,<br />
and donations can be received until March 30th. They can be made online or stop by any<br />
Stevens County Fire Station to make a donation. www.firefighterstairclimb.org<br />

the headrest and take your foot off the brake. As soon as the<br />
crash happens, get back on the brake. This helps absorb some<br />
of the kinetic energy and makes it less violent for you.<br />
Many drivers wear glasses (not sunglasses) and the best<br />
ones to choose are those with an anti-reflective coating. This<br />
type of clear coating helps reduce the lens glare and improves<br />
your capability to see at night even with the oncoming traffic.<br />
Now that you’ve made the necessary personal adjustments<br />
to driving at night, here are a few ideas for preparing<br />
your car for the nighttime and/or lower visibility drive.<br />
Before you get into your car, get a cloth and some<br />
Windex that is conveniently stored in your garage, and clean<br />
up your headlights and taillights. It doesn’t take a lot of dirt<br />
to diffuse the available light coming from the headlights and<br />
taillights. You might consider replacing the standard headlight<br />
bulbs with enhanced replacement headlights. These are<br />
available at many of the auto parts stores and possibly even<br />
your dealer.<br />
Stay strong, and remain passionately committed to your<br />
heart’s chosen path.<br />
