NewsbriefsCity supportshealth district

After a presentation by Grant County Health District’s Jeffrey Ketchel, the Electric City council voted to give the district $2,000. The district had asked for $2 per resident or $2,000 from the city to help with its outside expenses.

Write-off allowed The Coulee Dam Town Coun-cil agreed to write off $1,290 of uncollectible ambulance fees at its meeting last Wednesday night. The recommendation to write off the fees was made by HealthCare Management Associates, the firm that does the billing of ambulance fees for the town. The $1,290 write-off constitutes two charges.

Town budgetworkshop set

The town of Coulee Dam will hold a 2014 budget workshop at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 4, in the council chambers at town hall. It will be the final workshop before the budget goes to council for approval. The council voted to cancel its next meeting, scheduled for Nov. 27, because of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Commissionsets tentativebudget

Grand Coulee’s Civil Service Commission will ask the city to approve its request for budget money totaling $14,900 for the 2014 year. Commissioners agreed on the budget amount last Friday as they reviewed their activity for the new year.

Tab totalstinkle coffers

Electric City has raised some $4,217 through its Transportation Benefit District from April 30 through Oct. 31, a report to the council notes. The TBD allows the city to receive $10 per vehicle license applied for from applicants who reside within the city. The city plans to budget $15,000 for 2014. This is the first year the city has taken advantage of the license provision.

Revenueslippage

October was the first month this year that the Delano Transfer Station brought in less money compared to the same month in the previous year. The transfer station showed revenue of $34,532.07 in October this year compared to $35,648.11 last year. The report was made available to the Regional Board of Mayors, whose meeting Monday was cancelled due to a lack of a quorum.

Hospital in shakeup modeCommission addressing community, staff concernsby Scott Hunter

The top administrator at Cou-lee Medical Center narrowly avoided a vote of no confidence from his board Monday night, with a decision by the hospital district commission that clearly disappointed members of his staff.

In a special meeting of the Douglas, Grant, Lincoln, Okano-gan Hospital District 6 commis-sion, members voted to form a committee to immediately inter-vene in a deteriorating relation-ship between the hospital’s top administrator, Scott Graham, and the medical staff, who had taken their own vote of no confidence in him Nov. 8.

With the financial climate for small hospitals becoming in-creasingly challenging, Graham has reportedly instituted budget tightening measures, including reductions in hours and pay for staff, which they believe is not shared by administrators. And doctors, who have for years advo-

cated the need for another physi-cian to share the load, say the ad-ministration won’t recruit one.

The situation is critical, with a possibility the doctors could quit over the impasse.

Following a 45-minute closed session, Commissioner Geary Oliver moved for a vote of no confidence in Graham. With all four current commissioners pres-ent, the motion died for lack of a second, but Commissioner Jerry Kennedy offered an alternative.

Kennedy moved to form a two-person committee to immediately meet with the medical staff “to try to find a way through the con-flict.” That motion carried and President Greg Behrens appoint-ed Kennedy and Commissioner Kris Hare to the task.

Kennedy said Tuesday after-noon that he and Hare were to meet with the doctors Tuesday night.

The space for the Monday night meeting was double its usual seat-ing capacity and still overflowed.

With employees, and many community members, critical of hospital rates, staff reductions and an increase in administra-tion, commissioners moved next to take a critical look at the whole issue of how resources are allo-

Man injured in electrical accident at damby Scott Hunter

A Bureau of Reclamation employee was critically injured Monday as a fire started at a switch in the John W. Keys III Pump Generating Plant.

Daniel McCulloch, 54, was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with burn injuries. An-other employee was treated locally for smoke inha-lation.

McCulloch, an operator, has worked for the bu-reau since 2008. He was listed in serious condition at Harborview’s intensive care unit Tuesday, a medi-cal center spokesperson said.

All plant employees were evacuated and acrid smoke rose out of the pump generating plant just before noon Monday as multiple fire trucks were staged outside and firefighters were seen entering the building.

Reclamation’s own Grand Coulee Dam fire de-partment immediately responded and fire depart-

ments from Grand Coulee and Electric City were also called.

The pump generating plant at Grand Coulee Dam pumps water from Lake Roosevelt into Banks Lake to irrigate the 670,000-acre Columbia Basin Project. The flow can be reversed to generate electricity.

The plant contains six pumps and six pump-gen-erators. At the time of the incident, four pumps and five pump generators were undergoing maintenance. The remaining units in the plant were not pumping water into Banks Lake or generating power, the bu-reau said.

A bureau press release said the accident is be-lieved to have been caused by a switch gear failure. An investigation was to begin the following day, af-ter airing out the building during the night.

Bureau spokesperson Lynne Brougher said Tues-day morning that samples of air inside the building and residue from surfaces were being tested for haz-ardous substances.

No answer yet on big shop size

Commission studies how to hire police

by Roger S. Lucas

The best answer city officials could give Electric City resident Mike Dennis last Tuesday night was, it’s in the works.

Dennis has been pressing the city to get changes to its mas-ter plan on the size of auxiliary buildings (metal storage sheds, shops) allowable in the city.

He asked what was happening on getting some revisions to the code and was told that the city’s planner has the proposal from the city’s planning commission and is still looking at it.

Dennis has appeared before the council on a regular basis try-ing to follow up on his request to the planning commission and city council that the maximum size of

a steel building be increased to 1,720 square feet. City officials state that this is greater than the size of most houses in the city.

Dennis had received some as-surances from the planning com-mission that they were not op-posed to the change. The city sent the request to its planner so she could go through the planning code and determine how much would need to be changed before the city proceeds with the re-quest.

City Clerk Jackie Perman has advised that the process could take up to a year for any changes to the code to be made.

Dennis wants the revision so he can put his motorhome and other recreational units inside during the winter to keep them out of the weather.

by Roger S. Lucas

Grand Coulee’s Civil Service Commission is still trying to de-cide how to continue in its efforts to test and recommend the hiring of, a new police officer.

The commission met in a spe-cial meeting Friday in an effort to schedule testing for seven ap-plicants for a vacant patrolman position in the city.

Commissioners discussed us-ing a testing firm, Public Safety Testing of Lynnwood, Wash., and heard a telephone conference pre-sentation by a representative.

The discussion lasting over a half hour, produced little result and prompted commissioners to schedule another special meeting, at 5:30 p.m., this Thursday, at city

hall. The decision facing commis-

sioners is whether to go with a testing firm or order tests and give them locally.

In using a testing firm, tests are given at specific sites and lo-cal candidates are mixed with others from the region taking the same tests. The testing firm says that this increases the candidate pool for all the communities send-ing people to the test site.

The commission, after the test-ing process, whichever one they use, will send the top three can-didates passing the test to the po-lice chief for consideration.

If the test list doesn’t provide a viable candidate, the commission can repeat the process and call for another round of applicants.

ner and Stephanie Vigil of KHQ TV entered the gym to bestow the Eastern Washington University Teacher of the Month honor on Jaci Gross.

Gross had been nominated by student Taylor Holeman, who called her an important part of the school and a “great commu-nity member.”

Kleckner told students to think

about all the teachers in eastern Washington and North Idaho who could have received the honor, but that Gross was chosen.

“I have the best job in the world,” Gross told the students. “You kids are what motivates me every day to come to work. … You know I love you. Thank you.”

City keeps tourism fund policyOnly spend halfby Roger S. Lucas

Electric City’s council decided last Tuesday night to stick with its policy, at least for now, on how it spends its hotel/motel tax rev-enues.

Its current policy puts half of its hotel/motel revenues in a re-

serve fund and makes the other half available to promote the area. Currently, the city has $245,416 in its hotel/motel reserve fund.

Using 2012 figures, and the amount budgeted by the city for this year, that will put $34,400 into the reserve fund and make the same amount available for promotion purposes.

Going into the promotion bud-

get for 2014 is $5,300 for the Ridge Riders to help them pro-mote the Colorama Rodeo and other events; $6,000 for the Cou-lee Area Parks and Recreation District, to help with North Dam Park; and $23,100 to the Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce for advertising and promotion.

cated. Oliver said they needed to hire an independent firm to audit the last three years of financial records “to make sure we are do-ing things correctly,” noting large differences in the last two years.

“A second set of eyes to look at not just what we’re spending but how we’re spending it — particu-larly the administrative budget,” Kennedy added.

Behrens noted that a group of eight hospitals around Golden-dale were comparing each other’s operations in that manner. He suggested contacting them.

Behrens said it was certainly worth looking at "what we spend on executive team, what we spend on nursing staff and what we spend on dietary … and see how we compare to like hospitals.” He appointed Kennedy and Oliver to that task.

Commissioners also decided to look into seeking legal counsel in-dependent of that provided by the firm retained by the district since 1990, Foster, Pepper, Shefelman, of Seattle. Behrens said the firm is a good one, but agreed with Kennedy’s assertion that it may be prudent to seek a second opin-ion on recent matters.

Kennedy said some of the firm’s recent advice had been “limiting and conservative.” He noted the counsel’s advice to stop offering a popular lab discount week and its assertion last week that calling the Monday special meeting, out-side of a regular meeting, violated the state’s Open Public Meetings Act.

That statute states: “A special meeting may be called at any time by the presiding officer of the gov-erning body of a public agency or by a majority of the members of the governing body ….”

The chamber had asked for $32,000, and had the support of at least one person, Steve Salstrom, who attended the council meeting and asked members to support the full amount the chamber requested.

It was noted in discussion that if the council chooses to provide the requested amount, it could pass a budget amendment next year.

Cities that collect hotel/motel taxes are also being pressured by a new proposal that all the funds be channeled through a tourism board that could hire an advertising professional to plan the use of the mon-ey.

Coulee Pioneer Museum display marks Kennedy killing

A collection of Kennedy dolls is on display at the Coulee Pioneer Museum in Electric City. The collection is owned by Constance Wilson, right, from Coulee Dam. With her is Birdie Hensley from Electric City. The museum this week features a notebook with comments from people about where they were when they learned that President John F. Kennedy was shot. The notebook is available at the museum for people to drop by and leave their recol-lections. — Roger S. Lucas photo

Asks where you were when you heardby Roger S. Lucas

If you are old enough, do you remember where you were on Nov. 22, 1963, when the nation and the world was informed that Presi-dent John F. Kennedy was shot?

You can record your recollec-tions of that date and incident at the Coulee Pioneer Museum in Electric City in a special notebook there.

The notebook was placed there along with a collection of Kennedy dolls owned by Constance Wilson, a Coulee Dam resident. The col-lection has attracted some atten-tion by museum visitors.

The museum is open from 10-2 on Thursdays and Fridays.

Wilson was the first to recall where she was and how she got the news:

“I was in chemistry lab at Lath-rop High School in Fairbanks, Alaska. The vice principal came to the door and beckoned the teacher over. The teacher asked us to return to our seats and then announced that the president had been shot.”

Also posting a note was Elec-tric City resident Steve Salstrom, who wrote: “I was in class at Mill-er Junior High in Aberdeen, Wa., when the intercom went off with the announcement.”

Susan Miller, former cham-ber of commerce manager, wrote: “I was a junior at Grand Coulee

USBR may open portion of trailby Roger S. Lucas

A quarter mile long piece of the Downriver Trail system might soon be reopened, Bureau of Reclamation officials stated last week.

The trail would extend through a pedestrian gate along the rip-rap on the east side of the Colum-bia River near the bridge to just short of the Third Powerhouse. If approved, hikers could go from the north end of the trail near Seaton’s Grove all the way to near the Third Powerhouse.

Public Affairs Officer Lynne Brougher said the change is being evaluated and that the agency will seek approval if everything goes well.

The portion of the trail that would be opened has been closed for the past 12 years with the se-curity measures taken after 9/11.

On the west side of the river, the Bureau of Reclamation is planning to improve the access area on that side of the river so walkers there could better deter-mine the area open to them.

High School when I heard.”Birdie Hensley, who coordi-

nates activity at the museum, noted: “I was going to Edison Trade School in Seattle when I heard the news.”

Marcia Warnecke wrote: “I was 10 and in school at Mansfield. We all had to go outside to lower the flag.”

Linda Zlateff left her memory note: “I was in junior high at Cou-lee Dam. Very sad day.”

Linda Esmond said she heard the announcement while in junior high in Riverside, Calif.

Judy Lynd stated: “I was in 8th grade at Coulee Dam Junior High (Columbia School) now Coulee Dam Credit Union. During break between classes went outside and there was Martha Graham Patty Kale and Pam Everts sitting on railing and crying. They told me.”

Jerry Beierman stated that he was at the NAPA Auto Parts store on Main Street in Grand Coulee when he received the news.

There’s plenty of time to record your place and circumstance in the museum’s Kennedy log book.

There are a number of displays that should be of interest to local citizens.

Town’s 291 new street lights to go up

Coulee Dam’s council approved a $9,700 change order on its pro-posed LED street light project at its meeting last Wednesday night.

The change order will enable the contractor, Northwest Edison, to install 291 TRS series photo-controls with the new energy sav-ing street lights.

The cost of the change order has been okayed by the state’s Transportation Improvement Board, the organization funding the 100-percent grant.

The project will replace old style street lights with LED (light-emitting diode) lights which will save the town about 60 percent of its street light energy costs.

The town of Coulee Dam is one of six communities in the state to

receive the grant.Public works director Barry

Peacock said last week that the project will start early in De-cember and take from one to two weeks to complete.

The Seattle firm, Northwest Edison, will begin work as soon as the fixtures arrive, Peacock stated.

The grant was for up to $252,000, and the bid by North-west Edison, with the change order, will come to $137,067, ac-cording to information given the council.

The project will replace 291 lights.

Zoning laws stand in the way, and that’s good

Among the most frustrating regulations that citi-zens run up against when trying to fight city hall are zoning laws. But some of the most obvious problems this community faces result from a lack of them, or of their past enforcement.

Zones in a city define how portions of geography are to be used: homes here, businesses there, mixed use over here. Their purpose is rooted in a great American concept — that we can do what we want with our own property, as long as it doesn’t interfere with anyone else’s. Zoning is supposed to help make that more possible over long stretches of time that we mortals can’t see beyond.

In 1858, Abraham Lincoln said, “I believe each individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruit of his labor, so far as it in no wise interferes with any other man’s rights …”

Zoning recognizes that what you do on your prop-erty affects mine right next door. If you build a 20-foot tall shop that blocks my view and so devalues my property, is that your right? If you operate a busi-ness and set a precedent for it in your home that can

eventually lead to the degradation of the neighbor-hood long after you’re gone, is that your right?

A drive around this community will let any ob-server easily find many areas where such principles have not been applied in the past. As a result, what often seemed like a reasonable idea at the time now renders property far less usable than it should be. Prime view lots that would make a nice place for a home can be found next to a junk yard.

Over time, this affects the whole community. At this moment in time, a growing workforce at the Bureau of Reclamation looks for homes out of town. Builders wanting to supply housing lament that they can’t build a house on speculation when the mess of a lot down the street guarantees its low value.

Planning commissions in our towns need to stand their ground when it comes time to defend the pros-perity of the future against expediency of the pres-ent.

Re: “Our take on the news” Nov. 13, 2013Reading the Nov. 13 Star news-

paper editorial prompted me to this response.

Don't you find your statement about wondering what the judge will find to be ironic? One of the complaints about Mr. Picard help-ing his friends and neighbors came from Jack's Service.

The city of Grand Coulee granted Jack a permit to gouge the public with his monopolistic fuel prices. Now they want Mr. Picard to cease helping his fam-ily and friends so they will have

to travel out of town for help. Just like many locals now have to do for their fuel needs. In the same Star issue, you mentioned that Donovan's neighbor had written a letter about what a good neigh-bor he is. I would like to add that every time I drive by Donovan's home I think of how much his residence has been made more beautiful than it was prior to be-ing fixed up as nicely as Donovan and his family have done. He lives right on the highway so the whole community should be able to see

the improvement. I really hope that the judge

and city of Grand Coulee can see the light on this issue. And if the people are looking for a place to buy your fuel you can still find a more affordable pump in Coulee City. I hope they don't join the club that Jack's Service and now the new owner in Wilbur have es-tablished.

Good luck, Donovan.

Appalled at mechanic citationI am appalled that the city of

Grand Coulee would issue a cita-tion and impose a fine to the me-chanic and an outstanding person. He will give you the shirt off his back. The other businesses who have complained are being petty. We live next door to The Picards,

and we hear nothing coming from his garage. He does not block the road, there are no signs, as my husband Mark stated before. At this point, I am ashamed of our city council and we will be there to support the Picards when his day in court does come. This is

one he should win. Maybe the city should ban yard sales too; they are operating a business without a license, aren't they.

Commissioner stood up for communityI’ll make this short because

most of the community knows what’s been going on. After the community built a new hospital its reputation and management seems to have gotten worse.

At the last three board meet-ings, the number of unhappy citi-

zens and medical staff has grown immensely to standing room only. The Hospital Board #6 was voted in by the community for the com-munity. When Geary Oliver stood up last night and put a motion on the floor to remove the CEO of Coulee Medical Center, he was

standing up for the community.As the saying goes “Do unto

others as you would have them do unto you.”

Losing arts = lost opportunitiesWell, LRHS and GCD Middle school got the

bands back together not long ago when they hired the new band teacher, Lisa Vaughn. I have seen her working late to get caught up after the late start. There were many of us in the community that were worried once again we will be los-ing an art form in our schools that will cripple the foundation of our children for years to come. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Let me back up a bit.

When I was in high school, (ac-tually not that long ago) we had drama, chorus, band, art, Native American Club, refusal skills, Nat-ural Helpers, journalism, safety, VICA, FBLA, Junior Miss, a nurs-ing program, and I am sure I am forgetting other clubs and/or activities. There were also at least three groups of guys I can think of that had bands. A few years earlier than that there were even more, like, VOC Club, Spanish Club, BRA (Boys Rooting Association), Drill Team and PEP Club.

I know some of these programs have evolved into other things, some are there and still going strong, but there are some missing that are still needed and leaving an empty hole not only in our kids but in our community. I can remember a few years ago when were talking about cutting some sports due to funding and the area went into an uproar, but when these other things slipped quietly away in the night we almost didn’t notice.

The loss of a Drama Club is affecting us all right now. How? Planet Earth Players, heard of them? They are having a hard time getting new re-cruits to act in just about anything. Bravo to the Missoula’Children’s Theater and those that worked to get them here.

When we eliminate these programs, our kids lose a venue to hone skills, try something new, release emotions or excel at a skill when they might not have a gift in other areas. We are not all athletes and we know it, so when these other things are available, we can become victorious in other areas.

Now, I don’t want this to sound like I am on a local school bashing trip, because this is happening ev-erywhere in America. I also know that our art class has been excellent for years, and we have turned a focus on education that takes up a lot of budget and

teachers’ time. But we have to speak up sometime before the next piece is lost.

Can you imagine your fa-vorite guitarist not ever being handed a guitar early in life? Or your favorite artist not being given a pencil and pa-per and told to go ahead and doodle today? Or your favorite actor not finding his joy on a stage? The list can go on and on. Simply, we need to give

our children other outlets other than sports and video games.

So if the school cannot provide the extra curricu-lar activities that our kids desire, we might have to do it ourselves. That could mean finding a local instructor for piano or guitar. Or volunteering to help put together a children’s play. Or even finding a local artist and convincing him/or her to give some tips to your budding artist. But it doesn’t stop there. When we have these events in town, attend, take your whole family to enjoy Mason Marin and his band in the park, to the Planet Earth Players next production, to an art show at the Senior Center or when they having reading time at the library. Get involved and take your kids. Who knows, they may write a column some day and say some pretty nice things about you.

Life lessons learnedElizabeth Rangel, a 1998 graduate of Lake Roosevelt High School who now works as an outreach assistant at Highline Community College in Des Moines, Wash., spoke to local middle school and high school students Monday, divulging secrets of physical and sexual abuse she had held close while she was a teenager. Rangel, who graduated from Central Washington University while working full time and with a new daughter, said she’d led a hard life and made hard choices. “Don’t tell yourself you can’t do it,” she said. “… I come from the same community you come from.” — Scott Hunter photo
