The Lake Roosevelt High School gym roof is sealed and games there should resume in January when the Raiders have home games scheduled.

Superintendent Dennis Carlson said Monday that workers had sealed the roof and reported only one tiny leak during a recent rain storm.

“I expect the roof will be finished, weather permitting, within a few weeks,” Carlson stated.

When workers initially started to put a new roof on the gym, they discovered asbestos, which delayed progress on the roof. Rain had caused some game changes when the roof leaked and later during repairs some dust particles, including hazardous asbestos, fell into the gym, leading to a decision not to use it.

Handling the material required special treatment by personnel trained in the abatement of asbestos, further delaying progress on the roof.

The only remaining event in December that was scheduled for the LRHS gym was the Powerhouse Wrestling Tournament, which has been set to take place in the old middle school gym in Grand Coulee on Dec. 30.
