Movie theater stays shut
after failed fund raiser
by Roger S. Lucas and Scott Hunter
A drive to raise $95,000 to replace Village Cinema’s projection
equipment with new digital technology has failed, and the theater’s
owners hope to end their lease
early, unable to continue with a
broken, obsolete projector.
A report on Kickstarter, an online fund raising site, reported at
the end of the drive, May 4, that
only $2,688 had been pledged,
less than 2 percent of what was
needed to make a transition to
digital equipment required by new
industry standards next year.
Owner Lynette Zierden said
they just made the last payment
to the prior owner for the business,
but other bills connected with it
continue on. She and Don Redfield
are paying off debts from their
own salaries. She works for tribal
police, where he is an officer.
Redfield had spurred the Kickstarter drive, which stated that

Golf course safe hit again
by Roger S. Lucas
Thieves broke into Banks Lake
Golf Course office sometime Sunday night and took the safe from
the premises.
It was the second time this
year that the course’s safe has
been taken. The first time was in
January.
Police said this time the safe
was found along the 18th hole at
the golf course. Golfers reported
the smashed safe about 11:30 a.m.
Monday.
Police Chief Mel Hunt stated
that the total money taken was
just over $500. About $300 of it
was in the safe at the time, and
another $200 was taken from various locations.
Thieves smashed, the handicapped and service door. Last time
the door was smashed the course
had to pay for a new $2,600 door,
plus installation costs. Only part
of that cost was reimbursed by
insurance. The total money lost on
the first burglary was $2,800, and
that safe has never been located.
Last weekend, thieves used

a heavy pry bar to dislodge the
safe from the floor to which it
was bolted. They used the bar
and other tools found to smash
the bottom of the safe open after
it was carried to the 18th hole on
a folding cot.
Chief Hunt said that records
show that a police patrol had been
in the area about 3:30 a.m. the
morning of the loss.
This time the thieves smashed
open the same door, using a heavy
pry bar.
The service and handicapped
entry is hidden from view of anyone driving by.
Hunt stated that the safe
weighed about 100 pounds and
wasn’t nearly as heavy as the
first one.
if Village Cinema didn’t change
to digital then it would be out of
business at the end of the year.
That’s when Hollywood and other
movie centers would cease to ship
movies on film and go to a digital
format.
The new system requires movie
theaters to purchase digital projectors at a high price tag. This could
drive small town theaters out of
business.
The theater was purchased in
January last year by Carole Fisher,
Zierden’s mother, who since died
of cancer.
“Unfortunately, it was just one
bad thing after another,” Zierden
said.
The theater, besides showing movies, also hosted school
and community events for free,
including a recent junior beauty
pageant.
When the old projector quit
working about a month ago, Zierden ordered a “new” $400 light
bulb for it that turned out to be the
last one on the shelf, with no more
being made. And that wasn’t the
whole problem for the projector,
which still doesn’t work.
In the meantime movie bills
still have to be paid, as does the
soft drink distributor, advertising
bills and rent.
“If we continue to go on a hope
and prayer,” Zierden said, “the bills
are still piling up.”
Zierden said she and Redfield
wrote a letter Monday asking to
end their lease before its expiration at the end of this year.
The theater property is owned
by the town of Coulee Dam and
also houses the Melody Restaurant
and the Riverview Lanes bowling
alley.
Donors responding to the online
drive included one person who
pledged $2,000. A total of 19 people
pledged donations.
Three local students get
Gates full-ride scholarships
by Roger S. Lucas
Three seniors at Lake Roosevelt High School have
been selected as Gates Millennium Scholars, the
district announced recently.
Selected were Kendall Piccolo, Johnny MedinaMcCraigie and Charli Knight.
That makes a total of 13 Gates Scholars selected
from LRHS since the program began in 1999.
The three new “scholars” willl receive at least four
years free tuition and fees at their universities of
choice, with the
possibility of continuing through a
doctorate degree.
School counselor Sue Hayes
stated that the
trio were outstanding students
and had carefully
planned out their
futures.
The Gates Millennium Scholars
(GMS) Program
selects 1,000 talented students
each year to
receive a goodJohnny Medina-McCraigie
through-graduation scholarship
to use at any college or university of choice.
“We provide GMS with personal and professional
development through our leadership programs along
with academic support throughout their college career,” material from the Gates program stated.
The GMS program is more than a scholarship, but
an opportunity for students to change their lives, it
was further stated.
The 1,000 scholarships annually are given to outstanding minority students with significant financial
needs.
Including the three from LRHS, 13 were selected
from Washington state this year.
The school board was advised that all three recipients had selected the universities that they will
attend.
Kendall Piccolo will attend Dartmouth where he
will study engineering. Medina-McCraigie is visiting
colleges but is leaning toward the University of Hawaii where she will study computer science and film.
Her goal is to create visual history for the Colville
Tribes. And Charli Knight will attend the University of Washington
where she will be in
a pre-law and social
work program.
Piccolo carries
a 3.8 grade point
average and has

District seeks art for new school
by Roger S. Lucas
A public art hunt is on for the
new K-12 school project.
Public buildings are required to
set aside one-half of one percent of
the cost of construction for art.
The school board decided Monday night to seek art produced by
local artists, that is artists from
the counties that lie within the
school district boundaries.
The total money set aside for
the art contribution is $120,000.
Board members discussed the
possibility of sculpture either
inside or outside, and graphics
inside.
It was decided to solicit ideas
from artists interested in making
proposals.
School officials stated that the
district will begin advertising for
proposals. The school board will
make the final selection of art.

The Grand Coulee/Coulee City meals program will
not be affected by any cutbacks due to the sequestering of funds by Congress, Director Myrna Schryvers
said Monday.
While the Meals on Wheels program might feel
some effect from federal cutbacks, the local program,
Grand Coulee Senior Meals, is funded separately.
Schryvers said that the senior program feeds
about 55 people daily, a combination of meal delivery
and meals served at the senior center.
She said that her program has a suggested donation per meal of $3.25. “We also get a lot of other
funding through separate donations,” Schryvers
stated.
The program receives some funding from the Aging and Adult Care of Central Washington.
Nationally, the Meals on Wheels program, will suffer severe curtailment, according to news reports.
“We are separate from that and our funding is
guaranteed,” Schryvers said, “through the end of
2013.”

New school construction begins
Contractors doze the new school site in Coulee Dam area to grade as they get ready to begin construction of the near $23
million school complex that will place all the Grand Coulee Dam School District schools in one location. The project is due
for completion around Oct. 8, 2014. A worker sprays the graded area to keep the dust down. Currently, a fence is being
constructed around the worksite. — Roger S. Lucas photo
Cleanup campaign
sparked in Coulee Dam
A comment from a resident of
Coulee Dam who asked why something isn’t being done to get people
to clean up their properties, got
a quick response from the police
department.
This past week police went on
a real campaign to notify property owners whose places are in
violation of the town’s nuisance
ordinance that they better clean
them up.
Some 24 notices went out to
property owners that their places
were in violation.
Property owners who fail to
respond to cleanup notices could
be subject to fines of $500 for each
day of violation.
The police department has been
writing violation notices for the
past couple of weeks.
Police officers, when driving
around in residential areas, routinely send notices of violations.
However, just recently the practice
has been accelerated.
Notices this week went out to
residents on Pine (2); Holly (4);
Okanogan Avenue (1); Central
Drive (4); Civic Way (2); Walnut
(2); Yucca (2); Tulip (3); River
Drive (1); Camas (2) and Fir
(1).
Notices might address debris
piled around, unmowed yards,
vehicles parked improperly and
various other violations.
The notice gives residents five
days to respond.

Police Chief Pat Collins said
that most residents who receive
notices finally respond by doing
work on their properties. He said
Monday that Colville Tribal authorities have been helpful with
properties where the tribes have
an interest.
Collins said that his department follows up notices with a
second notice. He stated that to
date there haven’t been any citations issued.

The results of Saturday’s
Colville Business Council primary
election, minus absentee ballots,
show that in two of the races, it
appears incumbents are in for
serious challenge.
The Keller District position 1
incumbent, Darlene Zacherie got
23 votes while challenger Jack
W. Ferguson received 34 votes.
Others in the Keller race include
Leroy Jerred (0) votes; Sylvia Tatshama Peasley (2) votes and John
F. Stensgar (23) votes. Absentee
ballots will decide which two advance to the general election.
And in the Nespelem District
position 1 race, incumbent Brian
Nissen with 70 votes trails challenger Deb Louie who had 77 votes.
Others in that race were Ricky
Gabriel (53) votes; Randy Laramie
(21) votes; Joaquin Marchand (43)
votes and Tum-chis-li-wit Myland
Williams, Sr., (5) votes.
The Inchelium District position
1 race, with the incumbent not
running, the polling vote count
was close with David T. Madera
(63) votes; Doug Seymour (54)
votes; and Stevey Seymour with
(62) votes,
In the other three District
races the incumbents had healthy
leads.
Ernest “Sneena” Brooks, the
incumbent, led in the Omak District position 1 race with 118 votes.
Others in that contest were Shirley K. Charley (69) votes; Karen
Condon (33) votes; Stuart Sellars
(36) votes and Richard Tupling
(69) votes.
In Omak District position 2, incumbent Benny Marchand, Jr., led
with 145 votes. Others in that race
were Anne “Muffin” Marchand

(112) and Luana L. Squetimkin
(32) votes.
Andrew Joseph, Jr., had a
substantial lead in the Nespelem
District position 2 race and unless the absentee ballots provide
a surge, will likely make it to the

Knight Walking
Sometimes you are just so proud of someone. I was
Saturday, when I saw all of a local girl’s hard work
and dedication come to a conclusion. Or maybe it was
just the beginning. A walk against domestic violence
seems like a simple thing to throw together, but it’s
not. Just ask Charli. She has been working on this
for months in honor of her sister. Not to mention she
got into UW (Go Dawgs) and was a
Gates Scholarship winner. As much
as I would like it to be, this column
is not about Charli and how inspirational she is.
It’s about violence.
My family and I were sitting
around before the walk and we were
Jesse Utz
talking about how violence and/or
domestic violence had touched our
lives. Those images we thought
of or those people we thought of,
that’s who we were walking for.
We have all seen it and been close to it. I worked for
Emergency Services for most of my working life. I
have time and time again seen children and women
and even men that had been beaten up, abused and
hurt badly by a loved one. I also have been touched
personally by this epidemic. No I’m not talking about
gun violence, that’s for another column; I am talking
about physical and mental abuse by a parent, spouse,
boyfriend, girlfriend or anyone.
How many times have we turned the other cheek?
I mean in public we see a mother grab her son by the
arm violently and swing him to where she wants him.
The child flinches with tears running down his face.
This could be a kid that deserves it. Yep, I have said
that and walked away. I’m betting so have you? I have
also been driving down the freeway and watched a
man driving in front of me slap his girlfriend in the
passenger seat. I have heard yelling matches down
the street from neighbors. And done nothing.
But I have acted. As a teenager twice I tried to
Jess,
shut up!
step in and make someone leave. I have called the
police, and once in a shopping mall I stepped in when
a man was beating his girlfriend in public. I am not
tooting my own horn, either. Because unfortunately,
I did not act many more times than I did.
So why am I writing this? Because I think we can
all make a difference, just like Charli did. Now, we
don’t have to have this great
event (although feel free to do
that if that’s what you think
you need to do) but we can
become more concerned. Don’t
be afraid to call 911 and report
what you’re hearing and seeing.
There are programs out there
that you can volunteer at or
assist. And I know what your
thinking now too. “I volunteer
enough, I wanna just mind my
own business, I don’t trust the
po po.” Well I thought that too.
Then Charli told me the story of her sister and
how she died. I thought of my sister and daughter;
what if that were them in that situation. Would I
want someone to mind their own business? NO! They
better speak up, they better do something. Could I
understand that they were too busy doing other stuff?
Nope. They better do something. So let’s do something. Lets start by not letting another second slip
away. If we think someone is being abused, we need
to reach out to them or get them help. We can’t be
afraid to step in and let people know this isn’t right,
and we are not going to let someone be destroyed
emotionally and physically in our neighborhood. Lets
become Knight Walkers. It ends today. It ends now.
It starts with you.
In memory of Colette Jo Peone, 1986-2009.

help please call 1-888-826-3221.

Thank a teacher during
Teacher Appreciation Week
Somewhere along the way, most of us have had a
teacher who influenced our lives in a big way. Perhaps a teacher encouraged us to pursue a particular
interest or skill, challenged us to push the limits and
achieve more, or saw something in us that we were
unable to see on our own.
During the first full week
of May, communities across
America will celebrate Teacher
Appreciation Week, a time to
Doc Hastings
reach out and pay tribute to
Congressman
over 7 million men and women
nationwide who dedicate their
lives to educating children.
Teachers play an important
role in the lives of our children,
our communities, and our nation. Our teachers pass knowledge on to the next generation.
They help guide our children through their early
years and inspire them to strive for success.
I look back on my years in the Pasco public school
system with many fond memories of teachers who
helped shape me into the person I am today. I imagine
that most Americans can reflect on their school days
and remember some special teachers who made a real
difference in their lives.
The most important factor in a student’s success in
school is the quality of the teacher in the classroom.
It takes a special kind of person to become a teacher.
I commend Central Washington teachers for the time
and energy they devote to our children and the dedication to their profession day in and day out.
One of those dedicated people is Central Washington’s very own Jeff Charbonneau,
a science and physics teacher at
Zillah High School. Jeff had the
opportunity to spend the week in
Washington, D.C., where he was
named National Teacher of the Year
at a ceremony at the White House. I
am proud that one of Central Washington’s own teachers was selected
to receive this prestigious national
award and will represent our community as he travels around the
country as an ambassador for education in the coming year.
Teachers do not always receive the appreciation
they deserve. I would like to say thank you to all the
hard working teachers, especially those in Central
Washington, who are educating the future of our
great country.
This week, I encourage you to extend a “thank you”
to a teacher who has made a difference in your life.

Raiders out at district tourney Golf enters last week of
regular season in high spirits
by John R. McNeil II
Raider baseball competed in the District 6 playoffs at Wenatchee
Valley Junior College on Monday, where they took on the White Swan
Cougars in a loser-out game starting at noon.
If they had won, they would have gone on to play Riverside Christian
at 4 p.m. Win or lose that game, the Raiders would then have been assured a trip back. But first LR needed to beat the Cougars.
Seeded number two going in, the Raiders could not pass that first
hurdle. Cougar pitching and their own injuries (pitcher Justus DeWinkler had a broken finger) contributed to the loss to the Cougars, 8-2.
The Raiders finished the season with an overall record of 12-7 and
10-5 in league play for a fourth-place finish overall in the Central
Washington 2B League.

Lady Raiders up and down
The Lady Raiders had a busy softball week, as
they played Bridgeport in a doubleheader April 29,
a single game against Oroville the next day, and a
doubleheader against Pateros May 3. LR came away
with one win.
The Ladies were informed last week that on May
14 LR will travel to White Swan for district play in
game against the Cougars starting at 4 p.m.
Against the Fillies on the 29th, the Lady Raiders
did not play up to snuff as several errors led to runs
and missed opportunities. The Ladies lost the first
game 14-12, and the second 29-11.
As a team, LR batted .526 on the day with Alana
Epperson batting .778. Ashley Lezard and Riley Epperson each batted .667.
“Lady Raiders beat themselves with all the errors
in the first game and could not pull it together as a
team,” Head Coach Jamie Lezard said.
The Ladies rebounded the next day against the
Hornets as they ten-runned them, winning by the
score of 25-15 in five innings.
The team batted .739 for the night with Riley Epperson batting a .1000 and Alana Epperson swinging
.833 for the game. Keya Fasthorse, Savannah Marin,
Savannah Kentner, and Ashley Lezard all had good
games at the plate, batting .800.
Against the north league’s all-around leaders, the
Pateros Nannies, the Lady Raiders made too many
mistakes to win.
As Coach Lezard explains,
The team “had a good first game hanging with
Pateros for the first four innings with the score 6-4,”
Lezard said. “Again the team was haunted with too
many errors that cost us runs.”
LR went on to lose the first game 11-4. In the second game, the 15-run rule was evoked as the game
ended after the third inning, Pateros 23-0, Pateros.
“We as a team need to work on not having so many
mental errors,” Lezard said. “Even if we cut them in
half, we still need to fix it.”
The Lady Raiders closed out the regular season
this week as they took on the Fillies last night at
Grand Coulee Dam Middle School.
LR will travel to Liberty Bell to take on the Central
Washington North 2B-leading Mountian Lions on
Saturday in a doubleheader starting at 11 a.m.
Raider girls’ rackets win/lose
Raider girls won their tennis
match April 30 at Wilbur, 5-0.
Emily Williams and Lyric Witten both dispatched their opponents with ease.
Areielle White played a long,
close match with Ashley Potts that
ended in victory for White.
“The match lasted over two and
a half hours,” Raider Head Coach
Steve Archer said. “After dropping
the first set, she bounced back and
out-hustled her opponent, finally
winning the third set in a tiebreaker. … The whole team cheered her
as she got on the bus.”
In doubles action, the Raider
domination continued as sisters
Holly and Hillary Carriere teamed
up to sweep Becca Golleham an
Andrea Bilotta 6-0, 6-0. Hayley
Seylor and Harmony Witten put
together a win over Ireland Corringan and Janae Dasef 7-5, 6-4.
In the last Tanya Ang and Kendra
Descoteaux defeated Becky Coffland and Desiree Elliot 6-3, 6-4.
The Raider boys had a difficult
time in Wilbur as they were swept
by the Wildcats.
Brandin Smith and Edmund
Fenton lost their singles matches
with Fenton’s first set being the
closest of the night at 7-5.
The boys then teamed up for
a doubles match against Andrew
Peterson and Dakotah Niewald,
losing 6-1, 6-0.
The Raiders hosted the Tonasket Tigers Thursday, when the
girls lost 2-3. For the Raider boys
the rough week continued as they
were again swept by their opponent. The Raider girls lost all their
singles matches, but won both of
the doubles matches.
School briefs
It looks like the school district will have a large kindergarten class
next fall. Center School Principal Lisa Lakin reported to the school board
that 45 kindergarten students had already been signed and usually at
this time only about 20 are signed up.
The school board approved the district’s new technology plan and was
told that the district has 400 computers tied to the internet.
Lyric Witten and Areielle White
came from behind to beat Madie
Villaloval and her partner 2-6,
6-3, 6-3.
Hayley Seylor and Harmony
Witten picked up the other Raider
win, beating Yejee Jeong and Abby
Gshiel 6-1, 6-3.
The boys were again swept in
singles action.
In doubles, Smith and Daniel
Campobasso kept it close but lost
to Walker Marks and Colton Williams 7-5, 6-4.
Raider tennis closed out the
regular season last night at home
against the Entiat Tigers.
Next up is the District 6 tournament this Saturday at Eastmont
High School, where they will
compete against all North Central
B schools and the Caribou Trail
League for spots into the second

New students welcomed
to Upward Bound at BBCC
Thirty-eight students from
five area high schools formally
committed to the Upward Bound
program during an induction ceremony at Big Bend Community
College on April 23.
Mostly high school freshmen,
they started a journey to college
in front of family and friends. They
have joined a federal TRiO program that helps low-income and
first-generation students enter
and succeed in college.
The students will have access
to personal advising, career planning, and tutoring. A six-week
summer academy in BBCC’s residence halls provides a college-like
experience for students.
BBCC’s Upward Bound program serves 112 students-freshmen to seniors from Moses Lake,
Warden, Othello, Royal City, and
Lake Roosevelt High School. It is
the oldest TRiO Upward Bound
program in the state, serving local
students since 1967.
“Upward Bound students are
four times more likely to earn a
Bachelor’s degree than students
of similar backgrounds who didn’t
receive Upward Bound support,”
said Anita DeLeon, Director of
Upward Bound at BBCC.
“No matter what their background, our country needs students who are academically prepared and motivated to succeed,”
DeLeon said.
Moses Lake Mayor Bill Ecret
and BBCC President Terry Leas
both spoke at the ceremony to
encourage and thank the students
for making a commitment to pursue higher education.

Raider golf enters the last week
of the regular season in high spirits after a strong showing at the
home match last Thursday.
Austin Rosenbaum finished
third in the boys’ competition with
the score of 99 on 18 holes.
Rosenbaum was behind Connor
Hughes of Oroville, who shot an
88, and Cayden Field of Tonasket,
who shot a 97.
Tanecia Stanczak took first in
the girls’ competition, shooting a
95 on 18 holes. Stanczak’s closest
opponent was Jordyn Smith of
Oroville, who shot a 112.
Head Coach Steve Files likes
the position his team is in right
now.
“The mood of the team is very
upbeat,” he said. “Our players are
maintaining a positive attitude
out there on the course and have
responded well to adversity.”
Jordan Allen and Brandon Desautel posted their best scores of
the season, and Files noted it was
the first time Madisyn Byam and
Akaycia Foster completed 18 holes
this year. “I’m extremely proud of
how far those athletes have progressed,” he said.
The Raiders have two matches
this week. Last night they traveled
to Bear Creek Golf Club to take on
Oroville. LR will close the regular
season tomorrow at home as they
host Moses Lake Christian and Columbia Basin Secondary starting
at 2:30 p.m. at Banks Lake.

She took home fifth in the shot
with a PR throw of 29-02.
Octavio Alejandre led the Raider boys’ throwers, taking fifth in
the shot, throwing 38-06. He also

a career PR throw of 90-07.

In the 200, he ran for a career PR
in 27.78. He finished the 400 in
1:02.84, and the 800 in 2:41.
The Raiders then travelled to
Liberty Bell Friday for a SubDistrict tune up, where KellyMarconi earned two blue ribbons.
She finished first in both the triple
jump (31-01.5) and 100 meter
hurdles (17.74).
She also took second in the 300
hurdles with career PR of 51.95,
and third in the long jump with
the leap of 13-09.75.
Moon took home a first place
finish of her own, popping out a
32-foot throw in the shot. Moon
also placed in the discus by throwing 74-09, the eighth best throw of
the night. Both throws are career
PRs for Moon.
Alexia Hanway placed in two of
her events at Liberty Bell, finishing sixth in the 800 in 2:57.54 and
fifth in the 3200 in 14:37.60. Clare
Castrodale also placed in the
3200, taking seventh in 16:31.4,
a career PR.
For the boys, Sean Waters led
in placing, taking third in the shot
with a PR of 41-04.5 and fourth
in discus. Alejandre also placed
in the shot, throwing 37-09 for
fourth place.
