  • New Mobile Pottery Business Arrives in Town | Statesman-Examiner | Colville, WA

    New Mobile Pottery Business Arrives in Town - local reporting from the Statesman-Examiner serving Colville, Stevens County, and Northeast Washington. LOCAL NEWS GOVERNMENT BUSINESS SPORTS ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT FARM & RANCH GREAT OUTDOORS PROFILES OUT OF THE PAST LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CLASSIFIEDS ANNOUNCEMENTS EVENTS CALENDAR OBITUARIES New Mobile Pottery Business Arrives in Town November 19, 2025 By: Meredith Carroll New Colville-based pottery painting business makes its debut. Cutline: Kim Westover. Photo courtesy of Heather Fryer. Glaze It Up Pottery is the new Colville-based pottery painting business that brings ceramics to their customers. “I pull up, I set up, and I bring the pottery, the glaze (paint), the paint brushes, and the paint pallets,” said Glaze It Up Pottery owner Heather Fryer. “I even bring the garbage bags to haul away the trash. “I do birthdays, adult parties, children’s functions, and bachelorette parties,” she said. “Once a party is booked, customers can go to my website and choose a piece. I bring everything except the kiln. And then I can either stay and host the event, or I can leave and come back when it’s over.” Fryer said an event takes about two to three hours from start to finish, but she is flexible with the time. She said she offers a large assortment of paints that include solid colors, sparkles, glitter, and puffy paints. Fryer said she also has a variety of underglaze colors, pencils, and markers. After the party participants are through painting their pieces, she takes everything back to her house, where she fires up all the pottery in her kiln. “The heating process seals the glaze to the piece and also makes it food safe,” she said. “I always take before pics, so the customer can see what it was like before the firing process.” Customers Christine Crouch-Brasmer and Melissa Benner enjoying painting pottery. Photo courtesy of Heather Fryer. For regular-sized events, there is a seven-day turn around time between firing the pottery and returning the completed product to the party host. “I also do small events and sell individual kits. I will deliver the products to be painted to the customer, and then they let me know when they’re done. For individuals, it takes seven to ten days for the finished product.” Fryer said her idea for a paint-your-own pottery business has been in the works for three years. “I have a daughter who loves to paint but has severe social anxiety and doesn’t want to go to a studio,” said Fryer. “The mobile business has a lot of benefits. One of them is that, because I’m not a brick and mortar business, I don’t have to pay rent. And I’m able to have more affordable pieces. My prices are 25% cheaper than certain shops in Spokane.” Customer Randi Yarbrough. Photo courtesy of Heather Fryer. Glaze It Up Pottery provides customers with pre-made shapes that are ready to be decorated. The mobile pottery painting business serves all of Stevens County, Pend Orielle County, and Spokane County. Fryer just purchased 300 new pottery molds, and she is learning to form her own custom pieces. Glaze It Up Pottery also stocks professional glaze mixes and dipping vats. Fryer has a ceramic kiln that she operates in her garage. “It’s a single KM 1218-3, which means that it can forge Cone 1 to Cone 10. That means it has a firing temperature of 2,028 degrees Fahrenheit to 2,381 degrees Fahrenheit. Because some pottery can’t handle higher firing temperatures, we offer low fire glazes. In other words, I can cook the pottery slower at lower temperatures. “It’s fun for everybody,” said Fryer. “Anyone can do it. It has helped my daughter, and it’s nice for those who don’t want to leave the house. Customer Barbara Wilson (back) and owner Heather Fryer enjoying painting pottery. Photo courtesy of Heather Fryer. “I’ve been involved with pottery for three-and-a-half years. It’s a passion of mine, and it’s therapeutic,” Fryer said. “I left corporate America in May, and I got my license in January of 2025.” Fryer moved to Stevens County in 2015 and has since become a part of the community. During COVID-19, she said she founded the Northern Stevens County Quarantine, a local organization that gathers donations that helped small businesses and individuals alike. “I’m available for anyone who wants me to bring them some pottery to paint,” said Fryer. “And everything is included in the price – supplies, firing, delivery. There are no hidden fees or delivery fees.” Fryer with Glaze It Up Pottery can be reached at 509-808-0941, on Facebook at Glaze It Up Pottery, and at her website: glazeituppottery.square.site .

  • Murderer Re-Sentences After 2021 Supreme Court Ruling | Statesman-Examiner | Colville, WA

    Murderer Re-Sentences After 2021 Supreme Court Ruling - local reporting from the Statesman-Examiner serving Colville, Stevens County, and Northeast Washington. LOCAL NEWS GOVERNMENT BUSINESS SPORTS ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT FARM & RANCH GREAT OUTDOORS PROFILES OUT OF THE PAST LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CLASSIFIEDS ANNOUNCEMENTS EVENTS CALENDAR OBITUARIES Murderer Re-Sentences After 2021 Supreme Court Ruling November 5, 2025 By: Staff Report Convicted killer Justin Crenshaw, who was convicted of murdering 18-year-old Sarah Clark and 20-year-old Tanner Pehl in 2008, faced his victims' families in a Spokane courtroom when he was re-sentenced on Oct. 13. While the murders occurred in Spokane, victim Pehl had connections to Stevens County. Pehl grew up in Colville until the age of nine and attended Colville High School for a year before finishing his education in Spokane, according to the obituary provided to the Associated Press. Judge Dean Chuang made the decision to uphold Crenshaw’s original sentence after hearing testimonies from more than 30 family members and friends of the two victims. Crenshaw was resentenced to two consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole. Additional statements were received by Chuang from Crenshaw himself, his mother, and his fiancée, along with testimonies from a psychiatrist and a representative from the Department of Corrections (DOC). Crenshaw, who was noted to be an acquaintance of the victims by the victim’s families, killed Pehl and Clark, stabbing Pehl 14 times and Clark 26, before posing their bodies with swords and setting the house where the killings took place on fire, according to court documents. The house on Elm Street in Spokane was the Pehl’s family home. When investigating the case, law enforcement noted a bloody fingerprint that eventually tied Crenshaw to the crime. Tanner's loved ones say precious family mementos were used to stage the crime scene. Tanner’s sister, Katie, said in a past interview, “Justin had ransacked the house, making it look like a robbery. Everything was in disarray. Our whole childhood was on the floor and there [were] blood and bloody footprints everywhere.” Crenshaw, who was 20 years old at the time of the crime, was convicted of the double murder and sentenced to life without parole in 2010. Eleven years after his sentencing, the Washington State Supreme Court ruled it “unconstitutional to impose a mandatory sentence of life without the possibility of parole to anyone who committed aggravated murder between the ages of 18 and 21,” which prompted resentencing hearings across the state, including Crenshaw’s. During the resentencing, Pehl’s and Clark’s loved ones relayed the lifelong effects they have experienced as a result of the killings, and added that releasing Crenshaw would be an issue of safety. The DOC representative told the court that Crenshaw had 18 infractions in the state prison system, including assault, rioting, participating in gang activity and more. Court documents also reported that Crenshaw has had six prison infractions in other states since his incarceration for the double murder, including the killing of a cellmate and the stabbing of another inmate. Clark’s father implored the judge to uphold the original sentence, stating that none of the facts of the case had changed, and that Crenshaw had acted in a “premeditated, violent, and disgusting way” when he murdered Clark and Pehl. Pehl’s mother also spoke, stating that Crenshaw had “tortured” the two victims. After listening to the victim’s loved ones, Chuang concluded that Crenshaw exhibited “intentionality, cognitive reasoning, premeditation, and extreme violence” in the murders of Pehl and Clark. Although the 2021 court ruling noted “youthful behavior” as a reason not to impose life sentences for crimes committed by 18-21-year-olds, Chuang determined it not to be a factor in Crenshaw’s actions. The judge then resentenced Crenshaw to two life sentences without the possibility of parole to be served consecutively, during which Crenshaw made several outbursts, including cursing at the judge, calling his lawyer “ineffective,” and refusing to sign the resentencing documents. He also said he would appeal the resentencing. Spokane County Prosecutor Preston McCollam said the Prosecutor’s Office is extremely pleased with the outcome of the resentencing.
