Laura Jean Salm

In the stillness of the early morning hours, our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, Laura, passed peacefully, freeing her gentle spirit from the burden of lung disease. She spent her last days in the comfort of her Moses Lake home, with loving care, and soothing guitar, of husband Eric; amidst company of family and close friends. There was much love, laughter, playfulness, and affection, as usual.

Maverick girls soccer aims to create chemistry

New coach takes reins at school she graduated from

MOSES LAKE — First-year Moses Lake girls soccer Head Coach Alysha Overland has put an emphasis on team bonding for the 2022 Mavericks, and the results are beginning to show on the field. “I knew I wanted to coach wherever I ended up,” Overland said. “Thankfully I ended up back here in town, and then got a position as one of the assistants my first year back. I worked my way in, and once Liz (Bigger) left and the position opened up I said ‘Hey, that’s what I want to do,’ and I knew I had a passion for it.” Overland, a Moses Lake native, played soccer at Moses Lake High School before going to play at the collegiate level at Washington State University. “I grew up here in Moses Lake, I was born and raised here,” Overland said. “I played soccer my entire life, went through the program here as a Chief when (the mascot) was still Chiefs.” ...

Reader enjoys high school band

The Moses Lake High School Band has really made a difference in the spirit of our home games this year. At the basketball games they have kept the crowd enthused and involved in the game with their music. More than the usual rooter band, the band is larger and has done cheers and special numbers. The cheerleaders demonstration was terrific and showed a great deal of skill and effort, a new level of excellence. Where is the Tribe? We miss you. Thank you, Moses Lake High School Band and staff for making the season a lot more enjoyable and for representing yourselves and the school so well. You are looking/sounding great, keep it up.
