by Roger S. Lucas

An Electric City man has been indicted in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Washington, on four counts of theft of government property while an employee of the Bureau of Reclamation.

Charged was James M. Barry, who has not been detained and has agreed to a deferred prosecu-tion plan.

Barry declined to comment.Barry is charged with taking

valuable metal parts from the government’s inventory and sell-ing them to a Spokane recycling firm.

Taken, according to the indict-ment, were an unknown number of ring seal gate upper hub bush-ings, with a replacement value of $1,262 each; an unknown number of ring seal gate upper hub bush-ings, with a replacement value of $187.50 each; 16 wicket gate bot-tom bushings with replacement value of $956 each; and 11 alumi-num tubings with a replacement

Gunderson will ride and reign as queen

New markers will honor old cowboys at Lacy Memorial Bull Ride

by Roger S. Lucas

The Colorama rodeo queen’s future probably won’t take her very far from animals.

Emma Gunderson, a junior at Ephrata High School, would like to become a veterinarian’s as-sistant after she graduates from high school.

Her love of animals has al-

ways been a draw towards that goal, she said this week.

Queen Gunderson will reign over the Ridge Rider Saddle Club’s Colorama Rodeo this year, and then prepare for a full season of appearances throughout the Northwest.

A community college or a pur-suit of higher education at Wash-ington State University is also heavy on her mind, she says, and that all depends on “receiving some scholarships.”

Local rodeo fans will see her up on “Cisco” her main performing horse. She spends time daily with

There’s some big bucks to be made Saturday, May 23. All you have to do is ride a few bulls.

It’s the Third Annual Cleatis Lacy Memorial Bull Ride at the Ridge Rider rodeo grounds in Del-ano. Action begins at 3 p.m.

This year, rodeo officials have added $3,000 to the prize money making the bull riding event at-tractive to some pretty good pro-fessional cowboys.

The event is named after Grand Coulee’s own Cleatis Lacy, a rodeo cowboy of the first degree. When he wasn’t competing, Clea-tis was one of the most popular volunteers, never turning down an opportunity to help out.

This year, rodeo fans will be able to pay tribute to Cleatis and another local cowboy, Bob Rowe, at the site of a memorial marker that has been erected across the arena from the seating area.

The marker is a metal cutout showing Cleatis as a bulldog-ger. The companion marker is for Rowe, who had long been one of the cowboys who helped make the rodeo grounds what it is today. The markers are side by side, and a third marker honoring another local cowboy, Bob O’Neal, is being planned.

The memorial markers are

across the rodeo arena from the covered seating area and near the Rattlesnake Saloon, named after a rattlesnake entered the beer garden area a year ago.

One marker depicts Lacy as a bulldogger, and the other is the

head of a horse in honor of Rowe who was a well known Ridge Rid-er cowboy.

Glenn Shear designed the markers, and then Joe Santiste-van put his tool skills to work and created the cutouts.

Rodeo officials have added

$1,000 to the purse for the wild horse race, one of the most popu-lar events for the evening, and $100 has been added to the Junior Steer Riding event.

Shane Marchand, Sev Carden and Deb Achord have all been ac-tive in developing the event.

Tribal primary preliminary results givenby Roger S. Lucas

All incumbents made it into the general election in the Colville Tribes’ primary poll vote held last Saturday. Now they will have to wait until absentee ballots are counted on Thursday to see if the num-bers hold up for them.

In Nespelem’s District Position 1 race, incumbent Ricky Gabriel re-ceived the highest number of votes with 60, followed by former council-man Brian Nissen with 56; Harvey Moses, Jr., with 38; Deb Louie with 34; Jon Batten with 29; and Marietta “Etta” Grunlose with 24.

Nespelem’s Position 2 saw incumbent Andrew C. Joseph, Jr., with 93 votes; Sheilah Cleveland with 74; Charlene Bearcub with 59 and Zekkethal “Val” Vargas-Thomas with 13.

There was no primary in Inchelium District Position 1, since only two people filed. Incumbent Stevie Seymour will face Bessie Nugent.

In Inchelium Position 2, Elizabeth “Susie” Allen was the top voter

getter with 58 votes, out doing incumbent Allen Hammond, who got 36 votes. Those two will face each other in the June general election if the totals hold up. Others getting votes were Doug Seymour with 29 and Brian S. Seymour with 19.

In the Keller District Position 1, incumbent Jack W. Ferguson got 57 votes, with John F. Stensgar getting 17 and Connie M. Davisson with 7.

In the Omak District Position 1 contest, incumbent Richard C. Tonasket received 73 votes; Kimberly M. Belgrade received 49; Karen Condon got 26 votes and Shirley K.π Charley had 25.

In Omak’s Position 2 race, incumbent Mel Tonasket had 96 votes, Cherie Moomaw had 44 and Mandy L. Cardon had 32.

The top two in each contest will advance to the general election June 13.

The absentee votes being counted Thursday could change some of the closer races.

“It has always been my dream to be queen of a rodeo,” Gunder-son says. She is looking forward to the many appearances planned for her this season.

Gunderson has had Cisco for three years and the two have a strong bond because of the time the two spend together.

“Cisco has a lot of life left,” she says. “He is spirited, but gentle at the same time.”

The high school junior says math and English are two sub-jects she enjoys.

Moving playground equipment

Electric City workers move a geo-dome climber from the old Center

School to its new location at the city’s newest park at a site pur-

chased from the Banks Lake Bible Church. Here public works director

Ken Dexter, in the backhoe, and Jared Armstrong, atop the climbing

dome, prepare to move the dome to its new home. The dome is

part of the playground equipment surplused by the school district and

obtained by Electric City.

Cisco, a 22-year-old horse who is just a short walk to the barn from her home in Ephrata.

“Cisco likes it when I go out to take care of him,” Gunderson says. She also has a second horse that is special to her. “Hank,” a 14-year-old, will likely play a big part in her future.

Rodeos are no stranger to the Ridge Rider queen, she has been going to them since she was a little girl.

Puts on new chevrons in Grand CouleeGary Moore was named sergeant by Grand Coulee Police Chief John Tufts, be-ginning May 1. Moore has been in the department since 2003 and prior to that was a reserve police officer in Reardan. Moore,and his wife Lis, are residents of Electric City. Moore was selected from three local officers who went through the Civil Service Commission oral examination competing for the position.

You’ll catch her love for her horse and the friendly smile that is almost always on her face when you see her in the Colorama Pa-rade and later Friday and Sat-urday at the rodeo grounds in Delano.

Colorama fans are in for a real treat this weekend with the pa-rade, at 11 a.m. Saturday, the car-nival, loads of vendors at North Dam Park, helicopter rides, and more.

is a Class C felony and carries maximum penalty of not more than 10 years in prison, a fine not to exceed $250,000, and not more than a three-year deferred prosecution agreement.

The two-year deferred prose-cution agreement with the court calls for Barry to pay $25,000, half by April 23, and the other half over two years at $543.48

per month.According to court documents,

Barry has waived certain con-stitutional rights, including the right of a speedy trial.

At the end of two years, if Barry has complied with all the terms of the agreement, he will be allowed to plead guilty to only

one count of theft of less than $1,000, a misdemeanor, and the government will ask the court to dismiss the charges in the indict-ment currently on file.

Terry Reister speaks quite soft-ly, but the guitars he makes sing out loud.

Reister and his son, Terry Reis-ter Jr, showed off the elder’s prod-ucts at the Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce lun-cheon at The Melody last Thurs-day.

The owner of Sandy’s Grocery store in Wilbur started making guitars about 20 years ago, but now it’s getting a little more seri-ous.

They are working on convert-ing the former Texaco station in Wilbur into a store to display his guitars.

They brought a few along last week. One was made of koa wood sides and back, with a spruce front. Koa only grows in Hawaii. Others feature curly maple, or mahogany.

Some were made of much cheaper material, but sound pret-ty good plugged in; they’re made from cigar boxes with homemade pickups to plug into amplifiers.

“Most of them, he doesn’t build to sell,” Terry Jr said. But that could change if they get that gui-tar store going.

In the meantime, Sandy’s car-ies guitar strings and other sup-plies in a small section of the

store. They also carry some begin-ner electrics and acoustics.

It takes him about 100 hours to make a guitar, Reister estimated.

Approval of the Class of 2015’s senior trip will have to wait un-til May 13, when the school board meets again, after the trip re-quest was tabled because the pa-per work was not completed.

A Lake Roosevelt High School senior, Daniel Loch, appeared before the Grand Coulee Dam School District board of direc-tors April 27, seeking approval. But the request was not approved because senior class advisors had not completed paperwork re-quired by board policy.

Loch was appearing on be-half of the senior class and advi-sors, Becky Loch, his mother, and Stephanie Anderson.

Lake Roosevelt High School Principal Brandon Byers ac-knowledged at the meeting that the paperwork hadn’t reached his desk.

Seniors plan to travel to a re-sort on Lake Chelan June 4-5, and among other activities take a lake cruise on the Lady of the Lake. Seniors would leave the school at 2 p.m. Thursday, June 4, and return the next day after activities, which include Slidewa-ters in Chelan.

The cost for seniors is $110 each, most of the money coming from fund raisers seniors have held.

Event at school deserves thanksWe would like to thank everyone for helping

make our Family Fun Night a success! Without all of you we would never be able to pull out such an event.

We thank you Scott Hunter and the Star for al-ways putting the word out there, and Shane Moses for coming to the event and taking pictures and in-terviewing people.

We want to thank Colleen Leskinen for donating the delicious food; Ramona Rounds for cooking the hamburgers and hotdogs.

Everyone loves to win a prize; we want to thank Coulee Hardware, The Variety Store, Seaton’s Grove Green House, and the CCT K-12 program for giving

some very cool prizes. We want to thank all the teachers and students

who helped put on the amazing Art/Poetry reading; and the USBR for helping the students with the bridge building project.

Again, this event was the fourth of the year, and family attendance increased with each one. What a great way to end the school year.

Every day should be Teachers Week

First off, I would like to wish every teacher past and present a Happy Teachers Week. I have talked about my favorite teachers in the past and how they influenced my life. Even when I did not know or understand at the time, I came to realize that from pre-school to my senior year — and even including those who instructed me as a firefighter, EMT and any other course I took — have all taken time out of their lives and passed on knowl-edge that they had amassed and shared it with me.

But teaching and learning does not stop there. Or should I say begin there. You see, we start learning in the womb. Our parents are our ultimate teach-ers. Right from wrong, beginning reading, talking, crawling and walking all fall on the shoulders of mom and pop, influencing from day one to the very last. Grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and other relatives all play a role in teaching. The young eyes of youth are always looking and soaking in the world around them. Every word. Every sound. Things seen and things experienced, teaching us things that mold us.

I know that is a lot of pressure. But it is the teach-er in school that sets the tone for the big learning. Math skills, English etiquette, real physical educa-tion, science, home economics, life skills and read-

ing all twist together and form our capabilities for higher learning. From lunch time to driver’s educa-tion, from band to leadership class, we soak in the pieces that touch us, and then store the rest for fu-ture use. Teachers prepare every day to show us a

glimpse of something bigger; they prepare challenging assignments to test our ability. They challenge our thinking skills to encourage seeing both sides of an argument. Sometimes they even have fun, creating an atmosphere of joy to teach as an important lesson.

As we develop our own mind sets and figure out our interests, we gravitate toward the fields that interest us. Then those teachers develop us even further.

Kids like Mathew Pakootas, Chris Whalawitsa, Ty-ana Towner and Josiah Desautel (I promised them) discover what they want to do when they grow up. Careers become a possibility, futures develop from the homework assignment of a dedicated teacher.

So again, thank you teachers, for putting up with our immature ways while you try and prepare us for the future. We don’t always show our appreciation, but we do need you. We know it. Thanks for showing up every day even when we don’t.

Teachers from all areas of life — parents, edu-cators and everyone else — are the blood pumping through our education situation.

Now is the time for sunlight on trade

Popular government, without popular informa-tion, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy, or perhaps both. … And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves  with the power which knowledge gives. – James Madison, 1822

  In Washington, D.C. this year, spring has been churlish. A cold and rainy March has given way to a cool and unpredictable April. We hope for more sunlight.

Sunlight also is sorely needed in our nation’s capital as members of Congress consider an expedited pro-cess for approving trade agreements that are being done largely in secret. For the past several years, represen-tatives of our government have been negotiating trade deals with the Pa-cific Rim nations and the European Union behind closed doors, pacts that will affect every American fam-ily and worker. The only people privy to inside infor-mation about the trade talks have been 566 trade advisors, the overwhelming majority of whom rep-resent corporate interests.

Members of Congress can gain some access to this closely guarded information, but most staff members cannot, since these documents are consid-ered classified information. In contrast, due to pub-lic pressure, the EU has begun to publicly release its draft texts, as well as background information about the negotiations.

You would think that in light of this lack of mean-ingful information on these complicated deals, Con-gress would demand that before it votes on them, when their contents are finally disclosed, it get enough time to examine the details, to hold hear-ings, to ensure that the public gets to weigh in on these agreements in a way that could make a differ-ence, not simply to react to deals that have already been cut.

Instead, a process that has lacked even basic transparency would be compounded by an approval mechanism that gives Congress a limited amount of time and no opportunity for committee oversight. Members who wish to amend these crucial agree-ments are out of luck; no amendments are per-mitted, and debate is limited to 20 hours. And the Senate, where bills of far less importance often are subject to a filibuster, won’t have the right to filibus-ter these trade deals. A simple majority is all that’s required to approve them.

This is not how a democracy is supposed to work, particularly when their impact is so far-reaching. Trade may seem like a wonky, inside-the-beltway subject, but this issue is important, particularly for the new trade deals of the 21st Century.  Take the pending trade agreement between the U.S. and the European Union, the Transatlantic Trade and In-vestment Partnership (TTIP). The focus of the deal

is not on tariffs, but rather on the way both the U.S. and the EU will impose environmental and public health and safety standards in the future.  Busi-nesses that are sick of having to abide by different regulations in the EU and the U.S. call these dif-ferences “trade irritants,” and they’d like to reduce them. 

That could be a good thing, if the deal meant that we took the most protective rules and adopted them.  But it is quite possible that the reverse will happen – that in the future both the U.S. and Europe will settle on “lowest common denom-inator” regulation that reduces safety and jeopardizes our envi-ronment, but that keeps corpo-rate profits high. 

There is even talk of including Investor State Dispute Settle-ment in this trade agreement, a

mechanism that would make it possible for a for-eign corporation to sue a government  if it claimed a regulation unfairly harmed its bottom line.  Such lawsuits would be decided by corporate and trade lawyers in an extra-national tribunal operating out of public view.

Labor, environmental and public health groups on both sides of the Atlantic have serious qualms about the consequences of these agreements. But the protests of the public interest community in this country have not yet resonated with the larger public. Nor have they gotten significant media at-tention.

You can understand why this is happening. Re-porters increasingly are focusing on subjects that are trending among the public. But average citizens aren’t discussing trade deals because, to a large ex-tent, they don’t know anything about them. So the public is not sending the media any signals that these deals interest them, and the media is respond-ing by not reporting on them. We’ve created a vi-cious cycle. 

These trade deals are way too important for ei-ther reporters or the media to simply shrug their shoulders and let government continue to act in secret. James Madison would be appalled by our apathy. If we believe that information is crucial to self-government, then it is our duty to demand more sunlight on trade.

Grand Coulee Police arrested two suspects in an early morning drug bust Tuesday in the Delano area. When police searched the premises, they found less than 40 grams of marijuana, drug para-phernalia and a variety of pre-scription pills.

20 years agoAt its latest meeting, the Elec-

tric City town council passed a motion allowing legal proceedings to begin against Velma French, who built a carport too close to a roadway and without the council’s permission. Mayor Ray Halsey said legal fees would cost between $700 and $900. The vote was 4-0, with council member Marie Newkirk abstaining.

Coulee Dam Mayor Rod Hart-man told the town council that there might be a chance to get a sculpture for Mason City Park. The artwork would include life-size likenesses of a construction

worker with a guitar and a Na-tive American performing music together on a park bench. A space in-between the two would al-low visitors to take pictures with Grand Coulee Dam in the back-ground.

Pat Holbert of Electric City, is the current Washington leader in the 1995 Quaker State Big Bass World Championship. Holbert’s 7.7-pound large mouth bass was taken from Banks Lake with a Power Tube. If he continues to hold the top spot through August 15, he will qualify for the finals in Orlando, Florida next November.

Lake Roosevelt High School art winners in a contest sponsored by the Federated Women’s Club are: Chris Barry for Pencil I; Jason Birdwell and View of a Lake; and Brenda Mintle with Profiles, all drawings or paintings. Honorable mention winners are: Becky Ad-ams, Marley with Crayon and An-nette Myrick, Baby. The contest had 126 entries in the high school division.

In the adult division of the Federated Women’s Club art con-test: Bonnie Hart took first place for her painting of an eagle; Sally Blum, second for a painting of

orchids; and Darlene Morava, in third place for her painting of a cowboy. The adult division had 23 entries.

swept all three weight events at the Raider’s girls track win over Republic, 91-39 at Grand Coulee last Tuesday. Nancy sent the shot 34 feet, 10 inches, threw the dis-cus 100-9-1/2 and hurled the jav-elin 103-11. The LR Boy’s team beat the Tigers, 106-37.

Dave Garrison was also a triple-winner, taking first in the 100-meter dash in 11:77, the 400 in 57:7 and breaking the tape in the 800, in 2:37.5.

Piano players of Bonnie Wendt, Elmer City’s longstanding piano instructor, played for adjudica-tion at the National Guild of Piano Teachers auditions at the Cheney Cowles Museum Audi-torium in Spokane. Stephanie Powers and Elisa Weber each re-ceived National Honors for play-ing 10 memorized pieces. Earning local honors for 2-3 memorized pieces were Melanie Bjorklund, Ayra Edgemon, Fawn Katich, Lex Katich, Cheryl LaFountaine, Ben Penning and Nicole Penning.

Obituaries Edith Gertrude Kinzer Sackett

Edith Gertrude Kinzer Sack-ett, age 98, passed away on Thurs-day, April 16, 2015 at Harmony House Nursing Home in Brew-ster, Wash.  Edith was born in a two story ranch house just out-side of Uniontown, Washington on March 6, 1917.  She was the seventh child of 16 children of John Kinzer and Louise Bosse Kinzer.   She had six brothers and nine sisters, including three sets of twins born after her.  Edith was treated as one of the boys and at an early age she learned to ride a saddle horse and was one of the drivers of a team of horses for harvest and hauling and loading hay.  She was proud of her riding ability and stated she never had fallen from a horse.  However, she did not drive and her reason for not driving, was that she had bor-rowed her mother’s car, and ran it off the road into a field.

In 1935 Edith graduated from St. Boniface High School in Uniontown, the first of her fam-ily to graduate from high school.  Edith had a lovely singing voice and played piano in school.

After high school she spent four years in a convent in Port-land Ore., then returned to Spo-kane, Wash., to work at Sacred Heart Hospital  as a nurse’s aide.  While in Spokane she met Paul Sackett and they were married in 1942.  Paul was drafted into the Army soon after their wedding and Edith returned to Uniontown to stay with her mother.

When Paul was stationed in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Edith took her oldest son on the train to be with him before he shipped out.  She did not have fond memories of New Mexico.

After the war the family moved to Couer d’Alene, Idaho where four girls were born.  For short slices of time they lived in Lewis-ton, Winchester, Grangeville, and Kooskia, Idaho.  In 1955 Edith and Paul moved to Grand Coulee, Wash., where the youngest child was born in Coulee Dam Hospi-tal in Coulee Dam, Washington.  Edith spent her time raising her children and was a devout member  of St. Henry’s Catho-lic  Church.  She helped with church activities as a member of St. Henry’s Altar Society.  In 1969 she moved to Lynnwood, Wash., with her youngest son John.  In Lynnwood she worked for a time

in a nursing home and then re-tired.  During her time in Lyn-nwood she helped take care of all of her grandchildren when they were small.

Edith lived with her daughter Susan Sackett Farrell from 1980

to 1989 in Sumner, Wash.  When Susan moved to Arizona in 1990, Edith moved to Everett, Wash., into her own apart-ment.  In 2006 at the age of 89 Edith moved to Tonasket, Wash., and lived at the North Valley As-sisted Living Center so she could be close to her daughters Su-san and Kathy.  She

was one of 28 residents who had to leave North Valley Assisted Living Center in 2013 when it closed.

Edith spent the last two years of her life at Harmony House Nursing Home in Brewster, Wash., where she was lovingly cared for and treated as family.

Edith was preceded in death by two of her children, Kristeen Sackett (18 Mo) and Louise Sack-ett Hagemeister, (35 Yrs.).

Edith is survived by her chil-dren Lawrence Sackett, (Juani-ta), East Wenatchee, Wash., Su-san Sackett Farrell, Kathleen Sackett Rawley, (Dwain), Tonas-ket, and John Sackett, (Jeri), Everett; 10 grandchildren: Paul Sackett, Christopher Sackett, Timothy Sackett, Jack Sackett, Becki Hagemeister, Katy Hage-meister Turner, Wayne Rawley, Kristine Rawley Guenther, Keith Sackett, Michelle Sackett Turner; 11 great-grandchildren: Brianna Sackett, Nicholas Sackett, AJ Sackett, Mackenzie Sackett, Dil-lon Sackett, Ellie Turner, Johnny Turner, Stella Rawley, Weston Rawley, Isaac Sackett, Kayla Sackett, Bridgette Turner. Three sisters, Alice, Cecelia, and The-resa and numerous nieces and nephews.

Father Mathew Nicks of Sa-cred Heart Catholic Church in Brewster, will lead the Holy Ro-sary for family and friends on Friday, May 15, at 5 p.m.,  Father Nicks will also officiate the Mass Service at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Saturday, May 16, at 11 a.m.  A reception will follow in the church hall. 

Please make any remembranc-es to St Henry’s Catholic Church, Grand Coulee, or Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Brewster.

Baseball set up for late season runby John R. McNeil II

The Raider Baseball team took on the Pateros Billygoats in a doubleheader last week, adding two for their win column.

Lake Roosevelt jumped ahead in both games at Pateros April 28, and held on to that lead to come home with two victories.

Pateros tried to come back in the first game, but LR held them off.

Pitcher Taren Redstar picked up the win in the first game and Bubba Garcia grabbed the win in the second.

Chance Garvin hit a homerun and a double in the first game.

Last night was senior night

at home for the Raiders, as they faced the Tonasket Tigers for the season-ending doubleheader.

Next week the Raiders will be taking part in the District 5-6 Tournament seeded either third or fourth.

Raider tennis prepares for the late season stretchby John R. McNeil II

The Raider tennis team played two matches last week on the road.

At Liberty Bell, the Raider boys picked up one win in a singles match. Cristian Ruiz defeated Fallen Hutson after two hours of play.

The Raider girls won two matches. Areielle White won her singles match, and the duo of Mary Clark and Rylee Pitner won their doubles match. Har-mony Witten, in singles, and the doubles team of Tanya Ang and Alaynah Herman came close to winning their matches. Witten’s lasted two and a half hours before the last tiebreaker ended in Lucy Dupont’s favor.

At Pateros, the doubles team of Malcom Carson and Aiden Derr won by a convincing margin. Arei-elle White’s match went back and forth before winning.

“In their first meeting at our very first match of the season,” Head Coach Steve Archer said, “Looper had defeated Areielle White but this time she turned the tables and got the win.”

Archer noted that beginner and eighth-grader Loryn Moore has “picked up the game rather quickly. She is a natural fighter and forces her opponent to a tie-breaker losing only by two points.”

Last night the Raiders took on Entiat at home. Tomorrow LR will travel to Oroville for a 4 p.m. match. Then on Friday LR heads up to Wilbur for a 4 p.m. match.

Golf looks at late season matchesby John R. McNeil II

Raider Golf travelled to Okano-gan Valley Golf Club Thursday for a match against Okanogan and Oroville.

The boys’ medalist at the meet was Joey Staggs of Okanogan, who won with 92 strokes over the course. The girls’ medalist was Vanessa Venderweide, also of Okanogan, who shot a 108.

Top performers for Lake Roo-sevelt were eighth-grader Da-rin Whiteman and Lucas Bird. Whiteman shot a 115 and Bird was right behind with a 116.

When asked how the team stacks up to the late season com-petition, Head Coach Steve Files said, “Due to our inexperience, we’re not quite ready to com-pete against the top teams in our league.”

But, Files went on to say, “Our kids continue to have great at-titudes and have embraced the challenges that come with high school competition.”

Files had no information about April 27 match against Omak.

Tomorrow the golf team will travel to Alta Lake to take on Okanogan and Moses Lake Chris-tian, starting at 2:30 p.m.
