After more than a decade of planning and three years of dedicated construction, the Colville Elks Lodge #1753 celebrated the official opening of their brand-new, 10-space RV Park on Aug. 19. A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the completion of a project that brings new accommodation options to Colville. Located beside the Dominion Meadows Golf Club, the RV Park serves as an addition to the region’s tourism options, according to exalted ruler John Moser. He said that, while Elks members will receive priority booking, the park is open to non-members and is expected to attract RV travelers from across the country. Moser credited the completion of the park with support from local businesses including Columbia Cedar, Haney Lumber & Supply, Vaagen Brothers Lumber, Interstate Concrete & Asphalt, and PAR3 Fencing & Outdoor Services.

Photo courtesy Stevens County Historical Society. 100 Years Ago— The Colville Parent-Teacher Association, by unanimous vote at its regular meeting Tuesday night, placed itself on record as in favor of a new high school building for Colville. The Colville High School football team has been making a record this fall. The team held the strong North Central 11 to a scoreless tie, then defeated Hillyard 28-2, and last week cleaned up the Newport team by a score of 68-6. The federal farm census for 1925 in Stevens County shows a total of 540,055 acres in farms, comprising 2,643 farms, a decrease of 84 since 1920. There are 300,000 acres in pasture lands and 208,000 woodlands. 75 Years Ago— Seventeen of Stevens County’s top talented young people will compete for $240 in prizes tonight in the final Civic League Talent Show in the city hall. The annual event, which was a complete sell-out last year, will start at 8 p.m. Steff members from radio station KXLY in Spokane will conduct the program this year. Expected to get into operation in October is the new mill of the Pend Oreille Mines and Metals Company just north of Metaline Falls. This is one of the several large operations going on in the Metaline district. KETTLE FALLS—A new 40x40 ft. burner, said to be the largest in Stevens County, has been installed at the Avey Brothers sawmill in Kettle Falls. 50 Years Ago— The county census board says they are nearing completion of the new official Stevens County population figure with only a few areas remaining to be counted. A spokesman for the board projected the county would go over the 19,000 mark and possibly over 20,000. Tammy Stewart was crowned Colville High School Carnival Queen during ceremonies last Friday night. Her court included Sherry Busher, Cherisse Bastian and Tammy Anderson. 25 Years Ago— Something for everybody could be the theme of this year’s Colville Moonlight Madness Sale, sponsored by the Main Street Promotions Committee. The annual sale will be Friday, Oct. 27. Many activities have been added to this year’s event. Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge is open for all state of Washington big game hunting seasons beginning Oct. 1, and extending through Dec. 31. This includes the popular modern firearm deer seasons. The Colville Tribal Enterprise Corporation has announced that Barney’s Junction Restaurant, located at the junction of Highway 395 and SR-20, will close Oct. 28, for the season due to current weak market conditions. 10 Years Ago— CHEWELAH—The town of Chewelah pulled off what a lot of people didn’t think was possible – establishing a new benchmark for the most lit Jack-O-Lanterns in one location. At last count, 1,951 of the glowing pumpkins were assembled at Chewelah City Park last weekend for the assault on the Guinness World Record for such attempts. Tom Bristol, president of the Chewelah Arts Guild, said Chewelah was able to prevail against a California community of 200,000 that was attempting to set the same record. At last count, Chewelah had significantly fewer residents than Irvine, Calif., who were able to assemble 1,510 glowing pumpkins for their part in the Guinness record attempt.

Colville Gains a New Bookstore - 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 Gains a New Bookstore October 29, 2025 By: Meredith Carroll A sampling of the books in Seekers. Photo courtesy of Meredith Carroll. Opening to the public for a soft opening on Nov. 1, new book store Seekers Bookshop has been a dream in the making for more than two years. “We bought this space when it came up for sale two years ago,” said Lisa Wilson, who owns the bookshop with her husband, Buddy. “The building had lots of potential, and we just had to purchase it.” The Wilsons said they did a complete demolition of the interior of the building after they purchased it. “We didn’t really know this would be a bookstore when we bought it,” Buddy added. “We had both worked in bookstores, but…” “…But the idea of a bookstore just came to us after,” finished Lisa. Buddy, who hails from Texas, and Lisa, who’s from Spokane, met in Bothell, Wash., teaching Sunday school. “We wanted to live in a smaller town, get out of the city, and raise kids,” said Buddy. “We moved out to Colville in 2018. I knew that we would like living here.” “I know and love books,” said Lisa. “When we moved here, I felt like there was a hole in town where a bookstore ought to be. Colville can definitely use a bookstore.” Filled with bookshelves from floor to ceiling, the Wilsons said Seekers Bookshop will stock them with all genres of books, ranging from a good selection of science fiction, to books on body, mind, and spirit, to history and contemporary. “We’ll carry everything,” Lisa said. “We will also stock gifts: the kinds of things that readers like, such as bookmarks, journals, hats, candles, figurines.” The duo have worked hard to make Seekers a spot where readers can browse, lounge, and meet with friends. “A bookstore becomes the center of a community,” Buddy said. “We have comfortable chairs and little tables, reading nooks, and a coffee service area.” “We also have an event room and a commissary kitchen,” said Lisa. “We want to host events like reading clubs, classes, maybe cooking clubs. The kitchen allows the community to engage.” “Events are the lifeblood of bookstores,” added Buddy. “We are set up to be able to rent the event room space out. We already have a book club signed up to use the space.” After much deliberation, Buddy and Lisa Wilson said they settled on the name Seekers. “When people go to a bookstore, they are usually looking for something, whatever it may be,” Buddy said. Seekers Bookshop is not connected with the bookstore in the Chase building. “They have their niche in traditional Christian books, just like Barman’s has a specialty in cookbooks,” Buddy said. “We don’t want to step on toes, so we’ve decided to go light on those categories of books.” “Seekers will quietly open on Nov. 1,” said Lisa. “We will have a grand opening shortly after that. We are really excited to be open. We have a handful of folks ready to help us when we open.” The Wilsons said they plan to have Seekers open Wednesday through Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Seekers Bookshop is located at 270 South Main Street in Colville. Owners Buddy and Lisa Wilson can be reached at 509-589-9009.

Inchelium edged Curlew 40-38 on Saturday, Dec. 13, building an early cushion and holding on down the stretch in a tightly contested matchup. The Hornets jumped out to a 19-12 first-quarter lead and leaned on defensive stops late to preserve the two-point win after Curlew closed the gap in the final minutes. After a quiet second quarter, Inchelium responded in the third, outscoring the Cougars 11-6 to regain momentum. Both teams traded baskets in the fourth, but the Hornets did enough to secure the victory. One night earlier, Inchelium opened league play with a 50-35 road win over Cusick, using a dominant second quarter to seize control. Trailing 9-7 after the first period, the Hornets erupted for 19 points in the second quarter while holding the Panthers to seven, swinging the game in their favor. Marianna Agapith led all scorers with 20 points, attacking the basket consistently and converting at the free-throw line. Coleestah Finley added 13 points, including a pair of three-pointers.

Colville City Council Discusses Stipend Budget, Historic Preservation Efforts and EMS Confusion - 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 City Council Discusses Stipend Budget, Historic Preservation Efforts and EMS Confusion November 5, 2025 By: Isidora Patrick The Colville City Council dove into a packed agenda on Oct. 28, addressing topics ranging from engineering upgrades and local heritage, to ambulance coverage and lifeguard training. The council approved a three-year extension with Walsh Coomer and Associates Inc., worth $491,190, to continue engineering and construction work on the city’s Reservoir No. 2 project. The updated agreement runs through 2028 and covers final design and bidding. Council members also gave the green light to an easement agreement with Day Management Corporation, which clarifies property rights along existing access roads and allows for limited improvements. As part of the city’s mid-biennium budget review, council members weighed whether to boost their $50-per-meeting stipend. Some argued for keeping it as a symbol of public service, while others pushed for a monthly allowance to better reflect their efforts. Ultimately, the council left the pay unchanged, agreeing to revisit the topic at a later date. A spirited debate over an $8,666 funding request from the Historic Preservation Committee ended with the council paring it down to $1,048. Rather than printing hundreds of history booklets, the council unanimously supported historic plaques and membership fees, while exploring a digital, QR-code approach to showcase Colville’s storied homes and landmarks. The council spent a significant portion of the meeting addressing confusion about Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and ambulance services. Members voiced concern about potential double-billing when different agencies such as Stevens County, District 7 (Arden) and Pend Oreille respond to calls within city limits. The group also noted that recent state insurance reimbursement changes have added more complexity to local billing. Reports indicated that the sheriff’s ambulance service received about $400,000 in additional county funding to stay operational. To obtain clearer answers, the council stated plans to invite the current EMS providers to explain the differences between Advanced Life Support and Basic Life Support systems, and to meet with the county commissioners to discuss possible next steps. Parks and Recreation Director Jillian Marshall said that city parks are almost set for winter after a successful fall cleanup. The department’s Zombie Walk drew a lively crowd, and babysitting classes for junior high students proved popular, according to Marshall. With winter basketball leagues on the horizon, Marshall also announced plans to hire more swim instructors next summer to alleviate the workload for lifeguards and enhance safety. Meanwhile, the council reviewed the Colville Chamber of Commerce’s revived “Business Show and Tell” series that highlighted Jabe’s Beef and the new business Tow Major Towing. The next council meeting is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 10, at 6 p.m., and is scheduled to include a closed-record hearing on a new behavioral health ordinance, as well as further budget discussions.
