An information meeting is scheduled for July 31, 2013, at 8 a.m., at the Coulee Dam Community Church, 509 Central Avenue, Coulee Dam, across from the Colville Tribal Museum (double red doors at South end of the building – no steps).

We will camp on a different island each night where you will l...
I would like to take a moment and compliment the community in which I grew up. I have had the opportunity to spend quite a bit of time in my home town this summer and have noticed several area improvements. I don’t have enough room to list them all, but the little things like North Dam Park, LRHS football field, local business fronts and just general appearance of the community. I watched the community fall from once (in my eyes anyway) proud and engaged, to full of disrepair. Only visiting on occasion, I am unsure of what the nature of the c...
History was made 80 years ago, July 16. Thousands of people gathered at the Grand Coulee Dam site in 1933 as Gov. Clarence Martin oversaw the groundbreaking for the dam. With a sledge hammer in hand, Martin promised that Grand Coulee Dam would deliver cheap power and millions of gallons of irrigation water to a country upended by the depression. It took more than eight years to build the dam. The hard work and hot, dry climate claimed 77 lives but helped millions of people. The Grand Coulee Dam stands as a monument to hard-working people. On Ju...
Our answer is NO! On June 12, 2013 an article in The Star said the Electric City officials claimed the water was OK to drink. Do you notice a lot of chlorine in your water? Does you water run brown at times? Does your icemaker make brown ice? Has the inside of your dishwasher turned brown? Does your toilet sometimes look like it needs flushed again? Are your white clothes not so white anymore? Brown water! Do your dark clothes look like they have been subjected to bleach, chlorine? You have probably showered in brown water and not known it! If...
I think Greg Wilder would make a great new major. Quincy has done a good job for many years. Coulee Dam needs someone more in tune with younger families and their priorities now. The city council could probably use a burst of new energy, as well. Greg is well educated, has a wide range of experience, is very articulate, personable, enthusiastic and well liked in the community. With a fresh outlook on old and new issues concerning Coulee Dam, I don’t think we could ask for a better candidate! Carol Schoning...
The token gesture towards solidarity through recent council committee delegations for the coming year was indeed too little too late ... my own doubts linger as madam queen left no loopholes. Her throne was shaken, yes, but it is still in place. Her penchant to evil/corruptness is still wide open to play out. WITNESS: Sneena was successfully maneuvered/manipulated into the tribal gov’t chair! Is he not totally c7g? Is he not ‘in madam queen’s pocket, at will under her control? Is not ‘tribal gov’t’ the committee unto which primary contact mus...
Ten Years Ago A fire once again hit the Colville Indian Reservation last week as flames charred more than 2,000 acres and threatened several homes. Due to the overload on the town’s water pump, caused by the hot weather, the town of Nespelem is asking residents to restrict their outside water use to the cooler parts of the day - from 6-9 a.m. and 6-9 p.m. Basketball filled the minds of many young players last week as they learned the fundamentals of the game at the Raider Nation Basketball Camp. Lake Roosevelt High School Basketball Coach B...
One of the unique attributes of the Coulee is that when you return to this area after a long departure, it appears that nothing has changed. It is the same as when you left. I have heard this hundreds of times from people who have left this area after high school and returned as adults. I think that is kind of a cool way too look at our area. On the other hand, that can also have costly retributions as well. I think we could find a balance of growth and keep the small town atmosphere, if we all...
Services for Jeannie Moon will be held this weekend with a public wake on Sunday, July 28 at 7 p.m. Sunrise burial will follow July 29 at the Chief Joseph Cemetery....
