An imaginary wildfire ripped through the Grandview/Thorpe Neighborhood Saturday sending hundreds of drivers seeking safety onto residential streets and through limited exit points in the area Residents in the forested neighborhood vulnerable to wildfires asked the city of Spokane to help them prepare for a potential fire and they turned out in large numbers for the voluntary evacuation drill on a rainy morning the eve of Bloomsday “This exercise was really spearheaded and pushed by the community residents and I think says a lot about our community cohesion and dedication to preparing ourselves and taking care of our neighborhoods and each other,” said Sarah Nuss Washington State Patrol and volunteers met before the drill at Grandview Park to coordinate the drill plans First responders and volunteers then headed to one of three intersections – 14th Avenue and Lindeke Street and Thorpe Road and Westwood Lane – where neighborhood residents would exit if there was a wildfire or “observers” wearing bright green construction vests documented the number of drivers at each intersection by taking a written tally or having stopped drivers scan a code with their cellphone before turning at each intersection drivers turning north from 14th onto Lindeke scanned the northbound code and drivers turning south on Lindeke scanned the southbound code Between 150 and 200 drivers came down the neighborhood hill and turned at the 14th and Lindeke intersection A long line of cars could be seen at the intersection shortly after the Level 3 evacuation alert went out to residents at about 10 a.m the program behind the public alert and warning notifications sent to Spokane area residents to receive evacuation alerts Saturday for the drill Many residents received Level 1 (be ready) 2 (get set) and 3 (go now) on their phones Nuss encouraged all Spokane County residents to sign up for ALERT Spokane at spokanecounty.gov/3007/Alert-Spokane CodeRED is the mobile application that accompanies ALERT Spokane Nuss said the data collected at the three intersections will be compiled and discussed in a meeting Monday when she and other officials review how the drill went She said she will draft a review and improvement plan that entails what they can do better to prepare residents and improve egress routes Nuss said the drill was important to understand strains on the egress points neighbors mentioned and how they can be improved “There will always be bottlenecks in evacuations but when it comes to underdeveloped or less-developed areas it’s important to understand where those are and if they can truly withstand the incoming of first response apparatus while egressing the residents that live in that neighborhood,” Nuss said Mary Beth McGinley and Elizabeth Goldsmith observers who volunteered at the 14th and Lindeke intersection said many more residents participated in the drill than they expected secretary of the Grandview/Thorpe Neighborhood Council said she was extremely proud of her neighbors noting they were engaged despite the bad weather on a Saturday “It wasn’t a test of first responders,” McGinley said “It was a test of the system and what would happen in an evacuation and I feel like that was done extremely well.” member of the Comstock Neighborhood Council said she wanted to gather information from the drill to take back to her neighborhood Goldsmith said she worries about the limited number of exit points and traffic congestion if residents had to evacuate her neighborhood or the Grandview/Thorpe Neighborhood She also expressed concern about emergency vehicles getting into the Grandview/Thorpe Neighborhood with the large volume of cars evacuating worry that adding more housing developments would only cause more traffic congestion when neighbors choose one of the few streets to leave the neighborhood during times of evacuation McGinley said she believes developers and city officials are not looking at these housing projects with a holistic approach “I think everything is evaluated a little bit in a vacuum,” she said who participated in the evacuation drill with her husband said she wasn’t as concerned about a possible evacuation when she moved into the neighborhood 35 years ago because fewer people lived there meaning everyone could easily evacuate with no traffic congestion her concern level for wildfires is high as the wooded neighborhood has become more developed “It just has gotten to be more and more of a concern as more homes go in and as the climate changes,” she said Johnson said she was impressed with first responders and the American Red Cross which had a booth about wildfire preparedness at Grandview Park get up this morning and see fire people and the police people here and feeling like they really are trying to figure out a way to make this safer and to support our community,’ ” Johnson said Give directly to The Spokesman-Review's Northwest Passages community forums

Cemetery in Logan Township and tore off branches on a couple dozen others — in turn dislodging 40 to 50 gravestones The pattern of damage suggests that a tornado came through “Explain that to me” how it wasn’t a tornado He has had prior experience with wind shear at the cemetery and that laid trees straight down — in contrast to the “twisted” and “shredded” trees left by Tuesday’s storm there were no credible reports on the storm received by the State College office of the National Weather Service a meteorologist from that office told the Mirror Wednesday Tuesday’s damaging wind at the cemetery moved from west to east starting below the veterans circle at the top of the sloping cemetery passing over the circle and dropping down toward Grandview Road He first saw the damage immediately after the storm when he went out from his house just across the road “to see what I was dealing with,” he said “I was absolutely shocked,” he said the cemetery has been in his family for nearly 100 years Forsht and two workers have begun the recovery work and he is planning a “cleanup party” starting at 9 a.m He’s expecting at least two dozen volunteers and will receive help from a local tree service and a local memorial company The tree service will bring two crane trucks and a crew that will cut down the trees that are too heavily damaged to save while setting up a wood chipper for branches The memorial company crew will reset the already dislodged gravestones and other stones that are likely to be displaced by the cleanup work Volunteers will drag branches to the roadside for placement in the chipper It’s possible that it will need to be finished on Sunday there will be piles of firewood that would become available to people who want it A message on Facebook led to the volunteer commitments “There are good people out there,” Forsht said He is waiting on an insurance adjuster to view the property He’s covered for damage caused by trees that fall adding that he’s hoping that insurance payouts will enable him to reimburse the professional help The trees that were destroyed or damaged in the storm are maples and sycamores The flag on a tall pole in the veterans section was

department include license plate readers throughout the city and new body-worn cameras Major crimes in Grandview decreased by 6% last year While the exact amount of grant funding available to Blue

initiative allows Iowa students to attend Grand View and enjoy the benefits of a small private college education—such as smaller classes and strong faculty relationships—at a cost comparable to Iowa’s large public universities Pay Public is designed to remove financial barriers and make a Grand View education a viable option for more students the out-of-pocket cost for tuition for qualifying Iowa seniors will not exceed $11,000 after applying federal and state grants and Grand View scholarships The average tuition for Iowa's three public universities is $11,000 which means many students will pay even less for their education at Grand View “We believe that cost shouldn’t prevent students from choosing the school that is the best fit for them,” said Dr “Our new Public Price Program ensures that every Iowa student For Iowa students enrolling at Grand View in Fall 2025 the following eligibility requirements apply: Pay Public and GV Next programs will undoubtedly have a profound and positive effect on DMPS students and their ability to choose a University that is right for them Students will benefit from Grand View’s small class sizes market-relevant curricular and co-curricular programs We are grateful for our strong partnership and I look forward to seeing more DMPS students achieve their goal of a college education at Grand View University.”  – Dr In addition to the Public Price Program, Grand View also offers GV Next, a program for students with the greatest financial need.

Saturday afternoon at Durham County Memorial Stadium dominating the game from start to finish and claiming the program’s second national title 11 years to the date of its first.  This battle of undefeated teams began with a methodical drive from the Vikings highlighted by a big fourth down pickup when Jackson Waring found Lance Clayburg in the flats who muscled his way for a gain of 19 to get into the red zone Waring battled through multiple defenders to get inches from the goal line before a clutch punch out from KU defensive back CJ Gilmore knocked the ball free and Hunter Hargrave recovered on the one yard line.  Shea Spencer dropped a 31 yard dime to Refeno Vangates to get some breathing room but Grand View battened down the hatches to force the punt.  The Vikings went back to work offensively on an eight-play 63-yard drive capped off with a 14-yard dart from Waring to Aisea Toki on a post route into the back of the end zone to take a 7-0 lead 4:40 to play in the first It was Toki’s seventh touchdown reception of the season and the 22nd touchdown pass for the NAIA Player of the Year.  Keiser's Andrew Burnette broke off a 28-yard run to break into Grand View territory and eventually set up a fourth down decision from AFCA NAIA Coach of the Year Myles Russ who called Burnette’s number again The third team All-American running back picked it up easily with a seven yard carry up the gut the Vikings stood tall again at the start of the second quarter as the Iowa-based side found their goal line stand and forced a turnover on downs on the five-yard-line.  Waring showed the dual-threat nature again breaking off a 53-yard carry to hit 100 yards on the ground on just seven carries for the Grand View signal caller Waring dropped it into the bucket of Toki again with a 22-yard seam route for their second six-point connection of the day to end a 95-yard drive and take a two-score lead just under 20 minutes into the game.  The Vikings forced a three-and-out on the Seahawks capitalizing on a couple of false starts to stall the drive out around midfield ahead of a brilliant punt from Kody Kruschwitz that was downed at the six.  Spencer escaped the deep danger again with a sideline fade for 30 yards to Elisha Edwards but once again the Vikings forced a turnover-on-downs as Aaron Brown and Dane Johnson led the charge stopping the fourth-down quarterback sneak to take possession on the positive side of the field for the first time of the day at the two minute timeout.  Waring led a clinical drive with the short field and time winding down in the opening half before finding Triston Williams on the post route for a 19 yard touchdown strike Justyn Hamm cashed in the extra point for the third time in as many tries with 1:05 to go Waring closed the first half with 111 passing and 148 rushing yards becoming the first player since Northwestern Oklahoma State’s Patrick Crayton (2003) to eclipse the century mark in both categories in the national title game.  With one minute left in the half and getting the ball back to start the second half Keiser took advantage of the essential double possession as Spencer threw a beautiful pass with a stunning grab by Maurico Porcha to gain 35 before linking up with the third year wideout on a 26 yard strike across the middle for his eighth receiving touchdown of the season to start climbing the mountain with a 21-7 score line at half.  The adjustments made by Grand View Head Coach Joe Woodley who was the defensive coordinator last time the Vikings stood tall over the NAIA were extremely effective and its evidence bloomed early The Seahawks turned to Burnette to start the second half and the running back opened it with a bang with a 20-yard rush but the drive stalled out before the defense responded with holding the Vikings to just 30 yards on eight plays A 55 yard punt from Kody Kruschwitz was downed at the two to again put Keiser in poor field position.  Grand View started its second drive in Seahawk territory and called four straight run plays before Waring scrambled and linked up with Corey Phillips in the corner of the end zone for his fourth passing touchdown of the afternoon and Phillips’ fourth receiving score of the year Keiser gutsily went for it on fourth-and-one from their own 19 yard line and went to Burnette again with a 13 yard carry to pick up a fresh set of downs before Spencer scampered for 11 yards himself to get into GVU territory Spencer scrambled to convert another fourth down just across midfield the Seahawks were faced with another fourth down and a massive pass break up from Prince Brown forced the third turnover on downs of the day for Keiser It was Brown’s ninth pass breakup of the season.  The Seahawk defense answered the call with a three-and-out of their own to get the ball back into their offense’s hands but a couple of deep heaves narrowly misconnected setting the Seahawks up with their sixth fourth down conversion attempt of the day A check down pass to Jaden Meizinger moved the chains Kellen Moore stayed disciplined in the play action and picked off Spencer in the end zone before returning it 20 yards.  Grand View relied again on the run game and let Dalten Van Pelt feast giving the running back seven carries in which he picked up 54 yards capped off with an 11 yard rush to the pylon to put a bow on the national title marking the first time in NAIA history that a team has had two centurion rushers in the championship game.  Spencer put together a nice drive to try to get a consolation touchdown but the Grand View defense stood tall once more to hold Keiser scoreless in a half for the first time since Oct Waring was named the Offensive Player and Jackson Filer the Defensive Player of the Game Waring ended the game with 203 yards rushing Filer concluded with eight tackles with four solos and a hurry on a defense that held Keiser to just one third down conversion on 13 attempts and allowed zero points on three Seahawk trips to the red zone.  Van Pelt ended the game with 107 yards rushing and a score John Argo had nine tackles with six solos and a pass breakup.  Shea Spencer had 277 yards on 22 completions and a touchdown Porscha led all pass catchers with 102 yards receiving and Brunette finished with 85 yards on the ground Evan Jackson led all defenders in the game with 13 tackles with 12 solo; Tristan Vann added eight tackles with seven solos.  The game snapped a 23-game win streak for last season’s champion Keiser The result also avenged a 2022 semifinal matchup for Vikings in which Keiser went to Iowa and picked up the road win 38-21.  Grand View is now 52-3 dating back to the beginning of the 2021 season Grand View adds the 2024 Red Banner to the 2013 title in which the Vikings defeated Cumberlands (Ky.) 35-23.  We use cookies to ensure you have the best browsing experience on our website.

Price's Pride: Grandview Prep girls basketball yet to be challenged for Class 1A throne Girardi's talents were on display Saturday night in the District 14-1A championship game against visiting Boca Raton Christian She scored her first basket less than five seconds into the game had 30 points by halftime and finished with 37 in a 100-15 rout of the overmatched Blazers The Pride (21-4) now enter the regionals as the state's top-ranked Class 1A team they will play host to Homestead-Colonial Christian (8-6) in the Region 4 quarterfinals One of Girardi's teammates at Westminster Academy was Abby Price who stayed there when Girardi went off to IMG Price transferred to Grandview and her father was coaxed out of a brief retirement to take over the program That was enough to persuade Girardi to spend her last season in Boca Raton But an opportunity to come and learn how to develop as a guard under coach Price is something I couldn't pass up It was just really everything — getting to come home play my position a lot more and just develop under someone who coached for 40 years at the highest level." including senior guard Kayla Greyvensteyn (Fort Lauderdale-Cardinal Gibbons) and junior forward Seanna Crooks (Boca Raton) transforming a program that won only three games last season into a Class 1A titan with three Division I commits Price to Maine and Greyvensteyn to American University saying she picks up "little tips and tricks" from Jeff Price every day in practice Price made sure Grandview was tested early and often — the four losses came against two out-of-state schools and two Broward County powers Thomas Aquinas and Plantation-American Heritage "We got better throughout the season and I feel like we're peaking now," Girardi said continue to make sure we do the little things." Girardi scored most of her points on fast-break layups but she also tossed in four 3-pointers and threw a number of sharp passes and cheered on the Pride's reserves as they hit the 100-point mark just before the buzzer "Her motor's the separator," Jeff Price said "She plays hard and competes no matter who we're playing against — whether it's practice or drills or whatever we're doing She just has a lot of great intangibles that you look for." Girardi leads the Pride in scoring (29.9 points per game) and rebounding (12 per game) she attracted the attention of Division I schools nationwide ultimately turning down offers from North Carolina Virginia Tech and others in favor of Oklahoma State are having their best season in years (19-4 They landed a top 100 recruit for the second consecutive year after signing guard Jadyn Wooten in 2024 Girardi "has a knack for doing a little bit of everything," Hoyt said Lena has been around the highest level of athletes and training her whole life It shows every time she steps on the court or you have a conversation with her."  That means a girl who lived near New York City while her father was managing the Yankees will be heading for the wide-open spaces of Stillwater "You'd probably be surprised because I grew up in big cities but I actually don't really like the city," Girardi said We just kind of clicked like no other — it was like a perfect match."  Grandview needs to win three regional games — all at home 1 seed — to make it to the state tournament Two more victories in Lakeland will bring the tiny school in Boca Raton its third state girls championship "We're trying to go out and play every game like it's our last," Girardi said This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Grandview Heights police are asking for the public's help to identify a vehicle they say was involved in an attempted kidnapping Wednesday night on Yard Street Police said that they received a call at around 9:30 p.m Wednesday from a woman reporting that she was walking to a residence on Yard Street between Baldwin Drive and Rail Street when a male suspect wearing a surgical-style face mask grabbed her from behind and tried pulling her toward an idling vehicle in a nearby parking lot The woman reported she was able to break free and run away from the suspect The suspect was described as around 5-foot-10 He was wearing a tan-colored sweater and dark-colored pants Surveillance footage shows a vehicle that appears to be a gold Chevrolet Cruze circling the area then leaving the parking lot just after the incident Anyone who may have been in that area and saw the vehicle has doorbell or security video that captured the incident or the vehicle or has any information is asked to contact Grandview Heights police at 614-488-7901 smeighan@dispatch.com GRANDVIEW HEIGHTS — When they needed to most Grandview Heights' defense held pat against an explosive Colonel Crawford team in Friday's Division VI Region 23 quarterfinal "Whether it was the goal-line stand in the first half when they kicked the field goal or stopping them on fourth-and-1," Bobcats coach Jason Peters said "And there at the end of the game to give us a chance to put it away our defense stepped up and just kept making plays." Colonel Crawford struck first with a Joseph Zizzo field goal from 29 yards out and then ended the scoring by drilling one from 20 yards out but it was a pair of touchdowns from Henry Ohlinger sandwiched in the middle that proved decisive "I'm gonna say he's one of a kind," Peters said of his back "I've coached a long time and I've never had a kid like that at running back He just plays the game as hard as humanly possible and does special things anytime he touches the ball." Ohlinger finished the night with 18 carries for 142 yards and touchdowns from 46 and four yards out an Eagles team that averaged 251.5 rushing yards per game was held to just 124 ALL THINGS FOOTBALL: Crawford County High School Football: Your hub for the 2024 season "We couldn't let them get into space," Peters said hard-nosed football team that is well coached We said this is probably the best team we've faced all year We gotta take our chances and we gotta put them away when we get a chance The Eagles had their chances even outside of the scoring drives that ended in field goals Late in the first half on fourth down they tried to punch it into the end zone to no avail then with the game on the line at midfield not just one guy," Eagles coach Jake Bruner said I asked our kids to be physical tonight: They were I asked our kids to play hurt tonight: They did We have eight of them — seven played tonight — but it has been a year where it's just one thing after another but to come into this game with both our starting tackles not playing says a lot about the character of these kids We fought tooth and nail the entire game." While top-seed Grandview Heights advances to play No But the future is very bright in North Robinson with both quarterbacks multiple players from the line and on defense and a handful of skill players out wide returning "We have a lot of freshmen and sophomores that played with these juniors who have been part of this program for a long time It's going to be fun and exciting … but I don't want to take it away from our seniors All they did was work their freaking tails off and fight zholden@gannett.com | 419-617-6018 | Twitter/X: @Zachary_Holden
