Colville Edges Chewelah in Tight Dual; Both Squads Find Success at East Valley Classic - 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 Colville Edges Chewelah in Tight Dual; Both Squads Find Success at East Valley Classic December 17, 2025 By: Brandon Hansen Colville's Ashton Donaldson (right) and Chewelah's Landon Bennett battle with the fate of the Colville-Chewelah dual result on the line. Photo by Brandon Hansen. The 395 Throw Down wrestling dual on Dec. 18 showcased the strengths of both Colville’s and Chewelah’s programs, coming down to the wire. Colville picked up the 19-18 win thanks to Ashton Donaldson’s decision win over Landon Bennett at 175 pounds. Donaldson had the best seat in the house, sitting ringside for most of the dual in a crowded Colville gymnasium. It got even better when he was called to the mat for his weight class battle that would decide which team won. “Before the match, I was thinking about how I'm going to do in front of my coaches and everyone,” Donaldson said. “As the match begins, it starts to leave your mind. Once you're on the mat, all you're thinking about is beating your opponent.” It’s perhaps a testament to how well Colville and Chewelah wrestlers are coached, but the final matchup was every bit a test of endurance as it was strength. Donaldson had an early 3-0 lead after the first period and extended that to 7-0 by the third. “In the middle of the match, I'm completely exhausted,” Donaldson said. “I don't know what to do. I know I'm making mistakes, but all that is going on in my head is wrestling your match.” Donaldson said he was nervous watching his teammates pick up wins and figuring out the scores he would need to get a victory. During the match itself, he said he could feel some slips and missteps and was almost pinned during the match by Bennett. But he kept pushing. “Coach told me before I went out there, ‘everything is on you, either you win this, or you lose this. No matter what happens, just go out and play your heart out,” Donaldson said. “I think that him saying that really just made me fight harder. I didn’t give up. I wanted to show him and the rest of my teammates what I could do.” Colville opened the dual with momentum at 113 pounds, where Andy Ussery earned a decisive 17-4 major decision over Taysen Stauffer. The Crimson Hawks followed with another key swing at 120, as Kyler Klauder pinned Jameson Erickson to extend the early lead. Chewelah answered back at 132, when Trevin Stauffer pinned Jack Canada, and again at 157 and 165, where Titan Tapia and Dakota Katzer recorded falls over Jonathan Shaw and Ceasar Stuart, respectively, flipping the momentum in the Cougars’ favor. Colville countered with a pin of its own at 138, as Bryce Davis finished Brody King, and closed the dual strong at 175, where Donaldson secured a decision win to seal the one-point victory for the Crimson Hawks. Both programs carried that competitive energy into the East Valley Interstate Classic on Saturday, Dec. 13, where individual wrestlers faced large brackets and strong regional competition. For Colville, Bryce Davis (138 pounds) continued an impressive stretch, advancing to the championship match with back-to-back pins over Ferris’ Taylor Mauss and West Valley’s Jaiden Peak. Davis finished second, falling by major decision to Eisenhower’s Jarek Dobbie in the title bout. Trent Seitters (157 pounds) put together a productive tournament run, recording three pins in consolation matches after an early loss, showing resilience and earning valuable team points against a deep field. Chewelah was represented at East Valley by Katzer (165 pounds), who placed sixth after battling through the consolation rounds. Katzer earned a decision win over Riverside’s Luke DesRoches before facing strong Spokane opponents later in the bracket. “We're definitely improving,” Donaldson said of Colville. “I can say we're a lot better than the first day. Everyone's gotten so much better.” Previous Article Next Article 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

Seth Jacob Reichelt | obituary published by the Statesman-Examiner in Colville, Washington. Seth Jacob Reichelt 42 Sep 19, 1982 - Jul 30, 2025 Seth was born in Grand Rapids, Minn., on Sept. 19, 1982. The answer to his parent’s prayers, they spent his first year in an old-growth, white pine log house in the Isabella Ranger District area of Isabella, Minn. Seth was an instant delight to everyone, especially the Forest Service families who volunteered to help during long, cold midwestern winters. When Seth was three years old, brother Dylan joined the family and they put down roots in Lakewood, Wis. Seth and Dylan thoroughly enjoyed the outdoors. Whether trudging through snowbanks, chasing each other around the woods, dressing up in costumes, engaging in fantastical adventures, or playing with the family dogs, the two were close. Their quiet town provided a safe and nurturing backdrop, and their antics were well-known. In 1988, the family moved again, this time across the country to Colville, Wash. Here, both Seth and Dylan attended school, were avid swimmers, and participated in Boy Scouts, children’s theater, soccer, the swim team, and black-belt level Taekwondo. They attended summer camp back in Minnesota and often took canoe trips through the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. As an adult, Seth continued to prefer these remote, forested locations and chose to stay in Washington state as an adult. Even though he now lived in Washington, Seth remained a loyal Minnesota Vikings fan for life. A typical Gen-Y digital native, Seth found a circle of dear friends who, through his entire adulthood, shared similar interests in gaming and cosplay. He was involved with the high school drama club where he worked lighting and sound for many productions. It was during one of these performances that Seth was called from the booth to learn he had Type I diabetes and summoned immediately to the Colville Hospital. That was the beginning of his insulin-dependent life. After graduating from high school in 2001, Seth and his mother flew to England to visit Tintagel Castle in North Cornwall. Many believe this is where the legends involving King Arthur, wizard Merlin, and magical sword Excalibur took place. Seth loved those stories and maintained a life-long interest in swords. While in England, Seth found himself the sole visitor for a tour of Warhammer World in Nottingham. This experience heightened his love of painting miniature Elven armies, constructing dioramas, and playing Warhammer with his friends. Seth attended Colville Community College and in 2006, married Amanda Kilpatrick, also of Colville. The couple bred and raised show-quality American Staffordshire terriers, an experience that grew from his childhood love of dogs and gave him greater appreciation for different species and behaviors. They moved to Spokane where Seth worked for the Arc of Spokane, Jack in the Box, and 7-Eleven until his health took a turn for the worse. Seth and Amanda parted ways in 2011. By 2015, Seth’s kidneys had failed and he moved to Forks, Wash., to live with his mother and stepfather. He continued to receive dialysis and advanced medical treatments in Seattle until his death from end-stage renal failure. Even though his body was failing, he tried to stay active with hobbies and interests. Undaunted by pain and ever-increasing weakness, he was alert and selflessly positive to the end. Seth was always a caring and devoted friend. Kindness, selflessness, empathy, humor, imagination, and creativity shaped his lifelong adventure. On Earth, Seth fashioned himself after the noble knights of legend. He is now surely a “White Knight” for God in the Kingdom of Heaven. The family wishes to thank his many caring doctors and medical professionals from Forks, Port Angeles, and Seattle’s Virginia Mason hospitals. They provided excellent care as his disease progressed. Seth is survived and greatly missed by his mother, Cynthia Bork, Forks, Wash.; father, Dennis Reichelt (Kate), Portland, Ore.; stepfather, Richard Whitaker, Forks, Wash.; brother, Dylan Reichelt, Spokane, Wash.; aunts: Debora Bork, Cleveland, Ohio; Valerie Enkhaus, Ramsey, Minn.; Verneil (Don) Teply, Tyndall, S.D.; uncles: Jeffrey Borkowski (Anne), Los Angeles, Calif.; Greg (Lisa) Reichelt, Minneapolis, Minn.; James Reichelt, Norwalk, Iowa; Warren, Sioux Falls, S.D.; cousins: Margaret Callahan (Kyle Maloney), Silver Spring, Md.; Caroline Callahan (Jack Pitfield), Asheville, N.C.; Timothy (TJ) Callahan (Michael Manganiello), Baltimore, Md.; Andrew Bork (Ann Marie), Saint Paul, Minn.; Hunter Enkhaus, Zimmerman, Minn.; Logan Enkhaus, Minneapolis, Minn.; Benjamin Reichelt, Minneapolis, Minn.; Amanda Reichelt, Minneapolis, Minn.; Steven Reichelt, Minneapolis, Minn.; Rebecca Reichelt, Spring Lake Park, Minn.; Denise (Nelson) Donovan, Tony Nelson, Valerie (Nelson) Schamp, Sioux Falls, S.D.; Lori (Reichelt) Melin, Kathy (Reichelt) DePauw, Kerri (Reichelt) Konshak, Sioux Falls, S.D.; Greg Teply, Anne (Teply) Fisher, Tom Teply, Sioux Falls, S.D.; Michael Reichelt, Matthew Reichelt, Daniel Reichelt, Nathan Reichelt, Sioux Falls, S.D. Seth was preceded in death by his grandparents Edward and Ruth Bork of Austin, Minn., Velmar and Ann Reichelt, and aunt Marilyn Nelson all of Sioux Falls, S.D. Previous Item Next Item

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 Out of the Past: 07/16/2025 July 16, 2025 By: Stevens County Historical Museum Tribal members salmon fishing at the falls before Grand Coulee dam. Photo courtesy Stevens County Historical Society. 100 Years Ago— The Colville Chamber of Commerce met in special session on Monday evening with representatives from the livestock association for the making of plans for the Fair and Yep Kanum this fall. A four-day program is being planned for September. This is the time of year when Kettle Falls is a lure for many sightseers who go to the falls and watch the salmon jump. The attention of farmers is called at this time to the fact that the government is still distributing Pyrotol (stumping powder) to the farmers, taking this means of distributing surplus war materials. Stevens County farmers this past spring, through the county agent operating with the Keller Hardware Company of Colville, pooled an order for a carload of this material and the car was unloaded early in March. 75 Years Ago— The draft, almost a thing of memory, became an austere reality again this week. Stevens County youths joined others in the nation, worrying about their classifications. Stevens County will get a historical park at the site of old Kettle Falls and the St. Paul Mission overlooking the location of old Fort Colvile, according to a telephone call received from speaker of the house Charles Hodde. Beech is back to Birch. The much named and confusing street – between Astor and Columbia – was renamed “Birch” Tuesday night by the city council after citizens on the street protested the name Beech. Seventeen Boy Scouts worked on the rifle range at the Scout Camp at Lake Sherry Sunday. Scoutmaster T.V. Baird said the youths erected targets and cleared the firing line and built gun racks. 50 Years Ago— Colville’s Bicentennial committee hopes to kick off “Project Sparkle,” a clean up campaign in Colville, Aug. 4, according to Miss Marian Garvey, publicity chairman. A second uranium mine and mill to start operation in 1979 was announced this week for the Spokane Indian Reservation in southern Stevens County. Western Nuclear, Inc., stated that they would build the mill at the mine site after signing a $121 million uranium sale contract with Washington Public Power Supply Systems. 25 Years Ago— A multi-year Colville High School class reunion will be held this Friday and Saturday, according to John Acorn, one of the organizers of the event. Graduates from the classes of 1958 through 1963 are included in the event. Colville’s wastewater facility plan, long in the works, has been approved. Colville City Council members voted to accept the plan which is still not the final design. City of Council struck down a proposal last Tuesday to reduce the speed limit at the south entrance of town. Presently, when entering town, a 40 mph limit is imposed about 400 feet south of Mt. View Drive. The speed is reduced to 25 mph at the Pet Shoppe. 10 Years Ago— TIGER—The historic Tiger Store, a monument to those halcyon days gone by, has been restored to its former grandeur. A dedication ceremony, the culmination of a monumental preservation project, will be held on July 29.

Debra Lea Harbin (Christianson) 60 Feb 5, 1965 - Jun 9, 2025 Debra Lea Harbin (Christianson), 60, passed away peacefully on June 9, 2025 at Holy Family Hospital in Spokane, Wash., due to complications from her ongoing battle with cancer. Her husband, Matt, was by her side as she left this world. Debbie, as she was known, was active in her community through the Addy Grange and Washington state 4-H programs. She spent her life mentoring youth and teaching lifelong leadership skills for almost three decades. Debbie loved being with her family and spending time with her horses. Once the weather turned nice, Debbie could be found participating in local trail ride competitions with her friends. For the last 20 years, during the summer, she could be found at the local fairs, cheering on her children, leading youth, and eventually serving as horse superintendent at the NEWA Fair in Colville. Debbie was born in Auburn, Wash., to Donald and Alice Christianson on February 5, 1965. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a strong woman who was passionate about being involved in her community. She held numerous jobs throughout her life serving her community through civic service. She worked for county law enforcement in King County, Wash.; Cochise County, Ariz.; and Stevens County, Wash. Debbie was a natural leader who wanted to make the world a better place. Debbie was preceded in death by her parents, Don and Alice Christianson. She is survived by her sister, Kara (Joe) Davies, and niece, Katie, of Leavenworth, Wash.; her husband, Matt Harbin, Addy, Wash.; her daughter, Kristina (Gus), and granddaughters Alexandra, Kamryn, and Navianna of Minot, N.D.; her daughter, Heather (Marty), and grandchildren Ricky, Marley, and Rayland of Monroe, Wash.; and her son, Matthew Harbin, Addy.

Kaylynn Rose Titmus | obituary published by the Statesman-Examiner in Colville, Washington. Kaylynn Rose Titmus 44 Jul 31, 1981 - Jul 24, 2025 July 24, 2025 will be a day that marks the completion of a long well-fought battle with cancer and the beginning of an eternal life of joy and praise for Kaylynn Rose Titmus. Kaylynn was born July 13, 1981 in Chewelah, Wash., to Jerry Scott and Lisa McKinney. From an early age, it was clear to her mother that Kaylynn was “born to be a mom.” Kaylynn would carry her little sister, Keshya, and her little brother, Brandon, on her hips everywhere. She loved caring for them. Kaylynn met the father of her daughters, Cailen McCurdy, and started their family at the age of 20. She spent countless hours loving being a mother to her kids and spending time with the McCurdys, Fred and Susanne (Cailen’s parents), Brian and Alden (Cailen’s brothers), creating countless memories while the girls were young. Kaylynn’s resilience and determination, along with her faith, guided her through the many ups and downs that she faced while battling cancer. She remained true to herself and to God. She was Courageous to the end. True to self, she companioned others when she had little to give. Kaylynn found joy in collecting little things – random items she’d find – rocks that were shaped like hearts. Kaylynn was a Helper – even when she was sick. She had a wonderful sense of humor. When she’d laugh the room would light up! Kaylynn Inspired those around her to never give up. She was independent and strong. Her personality and character left quite an impression on those who encountered her. Most of all, Kaylynn Loved to love – her husband, Braden; her children Teryn (Jesse) Sarber, Ayven and Emersyn McCurdy; her extended family; friends; customers; and those in need. She freely gave of herself to each of them. Her light shined brightly. This light became extremely bright when she Danced. Kaylynn loved to dance, especially in the kitchen. She had her own style. While dancing, she would act out the lyrics. Kaylynn loved all kinds of music. It touched her soul and from there her body just had to move. Kaylynn found great peace and joy with the Ocean. She often referred to herself as a mermaid. Turtles were a favorite. She enjoyed swimming among them. They were beautiful. While not the ocean, local lakes were a playground for Kaylynn and her family. She loved being atop an innertube being pulled by the boat. She could be heard shouting “FASTER!!” The beauty of God’s creation captivated Kaylynn. Her home and yard were full of Flowers – red poppies, roses, dhalia’s, and peonies were among her favorites. Kaylynn was a fighter – a warrior. She fought fiercely to beat cancer. But most of all she fought for and fiercely protected her girls. They were her world. Kaylynn was a Giver. She would give the clothing off her back to someone if they needed them. One time while at the park she noticed a young mother with a child. They didn’t seem to have much and Kaylynn made a point of speaking to the young mom. She then went to her car and gathered a bag of clothes that her girls had outgrown and offered them to the young woman. The woman was deeply touched. Just days before her passing, Kaylynn welcomed her first grandchild – Master Banks Sarber. She was a proud grandma. Amazingly, Banks arrived on her birthday, making the day all the more special! The Outdoors was her happy place. Kaylynn loved to camp and hike. She and Braden would escape in their jeep, pull off to the side of the road and just be. She gardened, making her home and yard beautiful. And, she played with her girls. Determined to win the fight for her daughters and for her husband and her family, Kaylynn pressed on. There was never a moment of giving up. Rather, a moment of complete surrender and acceptance of the Father’s will for her. Kaylynn now rests in the Father’s arms of love. She is dancing before God and all the angels in heaven. She is truly a child of God. Kaylynn is preceded in death by her father, Jerry Scott and her grandparents Roy and Carol McKinney. She is survived by her husband, Braden; daughters Teryn (Jesse) Sarber, Ayven, and Emersyn; grandson, Banks; bonus children Kolee and Connor Titmus; mother, Lisa McKinney; sister, Keshya (Thomas) Wysocki, nephew Cameron Lebret; brother, Brandon Kilgore; Patty (Loren) Erdman, cousins Hayden (Kade) Middlesworth, and Hannah (Shane) Austin and many extended family members and dear friends. A celebration of life is planned for 1 p.m. Saturday, August 9, 2025 at the Colville High School gym. Pastor Daniel Goble of Grace Bible Church will officiate. Kaylynn requested that all attendees wear bright colors – no black. There will be a time of sharing following the service. A private family burial will take place at 3 p.m. at Mountain View Park Cemetery. Danekas Funeral Chapel and Crematory have been entrusted with Kaylynn’s care. Please visit their website at danekasfuneralchapel.com to sign in and offer your condolences. Previous Item Next Item
