I’m writing this letter to try to help out what could be a very serious problem on Roosevelt Drive in Grand Coulee. We have a number of children on Roosevelt Drive, along with adults who walk down the center of the street. The children also ride their bikes down the center of the streets on Roosevelt as well as McGovern Street. We are very fortunate that no accidents have happened yet, as a lot of cars do not stop at the stop sign on McGovern Street that enters on to Roosevelt Drive. Last week a car came up Martin Road onto Roosevelt Drive a...
I’m writing this letter in reply to an article in the Grant County Journal dated Monday, January 27, 2014, on page 3 with the heading of “Inslee’s” and under the heading of financial aid. Inslee wants lawmakers to approve a plan that would expand state financial aid to students who are living in the county illegally. Just in case Inslee doesn’t know or doesn’t care to know what illegal means, the following is what a dictionary had to say: Prohibited by law, not legal, unauthorized and unlawful! Charity begins at home, which to all legal resid...
Charity begins at home! What is charity? One dictionary describes charity as: 1. Christian love for God and men. 2. An act of feeling of generosity or benevolence. 3. The giving of aid to the poor and suffering! To me, my home is where I live in the city county, state and country, the place of my home! Locally we have a 2-year-old girl in Elmer City who could use local area charity support. Victoria Detwiler was born with brain damage and eyesight problems, and this becomes a large expense to the family for Victoria’s upkeep and medical a...
The time is near for all eligible citizens to get out and vote! Why vote? If you don’t vote you have no reason to complain as how the election turns out. Locally we have various positions open to the vote of the local people. I am writing in regards to our local community hospital. Community hospital sounds great but how does the community have any say in the operation of the local hospital? I’m referring to the decision that was made that our community hospital could not hold a yearly blood draw as it was against the law to do so. How...
They are a group of local community volunteers who have volunteered to pick peaches, apples, Italian plums, apricots, tomatoes and whatever else may need to be picked. Whatever is picked usually goes to the senior centers in Grand Coulee and Nespelem, and also to the Senior Manor in Grand Coulee. Also, items are delivered to homebound elderly senior citizens in the Grand Coulee Dam area. Yes, the pickers do sample the products as we would never give out a product that we would not eat ourselves! A big thank you goes out to all of the citizens w...

This thank you letter is long past due, but I’m getting slower as the years go by. When was the last time that you said a thank you to a volunteer? At this time I would like to say a big thank you to all of our volunteers! Our veterans are on top of the list for serving our country during a war or in peace time. Our volunteer firemen and EMTs who are there to help us anytime we need their help. These two groups of volunteers spend a lot of time away from family and friends when they are needed! Next would be all of our community volunteers w...
