Last Wednesday, Colville resident Krystal Anderson, 32, flexed her toes in her flip-flops and did a slow, casual spin, showing off her khaki shorts.
âI can finally wear these without worrying about being cold or wet, so in my mind, this is the first day of summer,â said Anderson. Anderson echoed a sentiment shared by many in the Colville valley and surrounding comÂŹmunities, what with record breaking amounts of rain for the area dominating the month of June.

A lot of fuss is made of Dr. William Foegeâs height. After all, the man is six-foot-seven-inches tall, so itâs safe to say he gets noticed in a crowded room.

Looking at Joe and June Machala, one might be tempted to make assumptions. The first could be that they are much younger than their actual years and the second that they have been fitness buffs their whole lives.
After all, when the couple is not enjoying fishing on Lake Roosevelt or looking after their home in Kettle Falls, they work out six days a week and run races and marathons all over the country. Both finished first in their respective age categories in the annual Bloomsday run for the masses earlier this month in Spokane.
