Worley man dies in rollover crash

A 58-year-old man died Wednesday after he rolled his truck off Elder Road about two miles from U.S. Highway 95 near Worley, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Department.

Lester M. Oglesbee, of Worley, was driving a 1975 International Farm truck when it left the road about 11 a.m. and rolled onto the driver’s side, according to the Sheriff’s Department.

Oglesbee was not wearing a seat belt, the Sheriff’s Department reported.

A Med-Star air ambulance was dispatched to the accident, but Oglesbee was declared dead at the scene by Worley Ambulance Services before the helicopter arrived.

Soup kitchen finds new home at school

Coeur d’Alene A soup kitchen for the homeless that has served food in parks for the past few months has found a temporary home in Lakes Middle School.

Cherished One Ministries will serve one last outdoor meal Saturday at St. Thomas Catholic Church’s playfield on 11th Street and Indiana Avenue. The meal will be served from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Starting in June, the soup kitchen will serve meals out of Lakes Middle School on Hastings Avenue and 15th Street. It will continue to serve Saturdays in the late afternoon.

Cherished One is not linked to a church and has had trouble establishing a permanent location it could afford for its meals.

Kevin Kram, soup kitchen founder, said Cherished One can use Lakes for as long as six months.

“We so appreciate what the Catholic church did for us,” he said Wednesday, referring to St. Thomas.

Cherished One is planning a golf tournament Saturday at the Coeur d’Alene Public Golf Course to raise money to keep the soup kitchen operating. Participation costs $50.

To register, call Kyle Rutley at (208) 665-9230.

Development hearing is set for tonight

The Kootenai County commission will hold a public hearing tonight on a controversial housing development proposed off Rimrock Road.

A local development company wants to change the zoning on 60 acres to allow the project.

Landings LLC Manager Rick Gunther has said that the project would put only one high-end home on each acre and that the company is willing to comply with requirements by the Hayden Lake Recreational Water and Sewer District.

The proposed development is next to Green Meadows, another controversial project that took the county three years to approve.

The sewer district must approve stormwater and erosion control plans for the 80-home Green Meadows before it gets sewer hookups.

The sewer district chairman said it would follow the same practice for the Landings.

The 6 p.m. meeting is at the Kootenai County Administration Building, 451 Government Way. For more information, call (208) 446-1070.

Suspect named in violent robbery

Post Falls police have named a woman they believe was involved in last week’s violent robbery of a man in his home.

A man was bound with tape and zip ties while he was robbed by two men and a woman early May 18, police said.

The robbers ransacked his home, and the victim told police he was forced at gunpoint to divulge his bank account information.

Deborah K. Dutcher, 28, was identified as a suspect with the assistance of Spokane police and the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office, Post Falls police Lt. Scot Haug wrote in a press release.

Dutcher uses different spellings of her first name and sometimes goes by Patricia, the release states.

Police believe Dutcher withdrew money from the victim’s bank account after the robbery.

Two Spokane men were arrested in connection with the robbery. They are Donald W. Brown, 26, and Steven L. Murphy, 25.

Police ask that anyone with information about Dutcher’s whereabouts contact the department at (208) 773-3517.
