More races develop in county election County Republican Party offers support to Manus campaign

BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – A special filing period, which ran from June 3-5 brought out a few new candidates for seats on Pend Oreille County Boards.

A race has developed on the Newport School District Board of Directors. Where no one filed during

the original filing period in mid-May, incumbent Lynn Kaney filed to retain his seat, and Mitch Stratton and Valorie Hein will run against him.

The race will be on the primary ballot this summer. Voters in District 2 will choose the top two to move on to the general election. District 2 covers the north and west sides of Newport, into Deer Valley.

Newport school superintendent resigns Board begins search for replacement

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Newport School District Superintendent Jason Thompson submitted his resignation at the regular Monday night board meeting June 10. Thompson will leave to take a job as executive director of human resources for the Marysville School District on the west side of the state.

“It was a hard decision to leave Newport,” Thompson said the day

after the board meeting. “I was very fortunate that the board gave me the opportunity to serve here. I know that some people will be happy that I am leaving, as I have had to make some difficult decisions and also have made my share of mistakes along the way. I know that I am leaving Newport having accomplished many positive things for our students. I hope the Newport district will continue to move forward in a positive direction with an emphasis on our students ensuring all decisions are studentSEE NEWPORT, 2A

Newport gearing up for rodeo

The Newport Rodeo will have an exhibition of ranch bronc riding at the Newport Rodeo, set for June 21-22. In ranch bronc riding, riders use a regular saddle and can hold on with two hands. The event attracts working cowboys as well as rodeo cowboys. This picture was taken at a Western States Ranch Rodeo Association sanctioned ranch bronc riding at Jordan Valley, Ore., last year.

Parade route changed because of construction

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – The grand marshals have been chosen, rodeo queen Savana Lindell has been promoting Newport at parades and rodeos and work crews have been out preparing the grounds for the 64th annual Newport Rodeo, set for Friday and Saturday, June 21-22. Performances will start at 7:30 p.m. each night.

David and Susan Melbourne of Albeni

Falls Building Supply have been selected grand marshals for this year’s rodeo parade.

“They have been long time supporters of the rodeo,” rodeo association president Ray Hanson said.

The Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce is accepting parade entries.

This year’s parade route has changed a little because of construction. The route will turn up First Street instead of proceeding farther down Washington Avenue.

The parade will start at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 22. People who want their

entries considered for the parade contest need to be entered by Monday, June 17.

Forms are available on the chamber’s website at www.newportareachamber. com. There are categories for horse and rider, vehicles, heavy equipment, junior and senior cowboys and cowgirls, as well as floats.

In addition to the regular rodeo events, the popular panty pull will also be held each night. In this event, two-person teams of local contestants are turned loose on a herd of unsuspecting calves, with the object of putting pantyhose on

|| Oldtown awaits word on sewer funding OLDTOWN – The city of Oldtown is expecting to hear this week if its funding is approved for the sewer portion of the project that is bringing utilities to the newly annexed portion of town on the east side of the river.

A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers grant will help cover part of the sewer costs, and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality is set to approve a loan for the rest of the sewer project.

That will help pay to bore a line under the Pend Oreille River, connecting the two systems.

The work is set to take place later in the summer when river levels are lower.

B R I E F LY

Also at their regular meeting Monday, June 10, the Oldtown council heard that attorney fees are going up from $125 to $135 per hour, starting with the new fiscal year. The last increase was five years ago.

The council also discussed set up for the Run Whatcha Brung motorcycle races, which are scheduled for July 5 and 6. The council will do a walkthrough of the area Thursday evening.

The ranger station is located at 225 W. 11th Ave. in Kettle Falls.

Newport visitor center opens NEWPORT – The visitor center located in Centennial Plaza by the gazebo is finally open for the season with a new organization behind the desk.

The Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce, which had operated it for decades since the building was built, contracted with the River Arts Alliance to run it this year.

RAA president Loyce Akers said Tuesday that they plan to be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day except Wednesdays and Thursdays. But she said they were closed Tuesday because of a shortage of volunteers.

Akers said they had planned for a large portion of the 30 members to volunteer but so far only two have.

She said they would consider non-member volunteers and asked people to call her at 509671-0295.

The RAA members have their art on display and for sale.

The chamber plans to keep a small portion of the office when they hire a new executive director.

fices where no one filed were subject to a special three-day filing period.

Such was the case for the Newport City Council Position 3, currently held by Mark Zorica. Brad Hein filed for the seat. It’s assumed that he will take over for Zorica next year.

No one originally filed for the Cemetery District 1 seats, but in the special period, Lindsay Ruivivar and incumbent Frank Capehart put their names in.

If just two file for non-partisan races such as the city council and cemetery district, the candidates advance directly to the general election.

Although just two filed for the Pend Oreille County commissioner seat, that race will be on the primary since

www.twitter.com/MinerNews

it is a partisan race. Only District 2 will vote in the primary. Zorica is running against appointed incumbent Mike Manus. Both are Republicans.

At its regular meeting April 23, members of the Pend Oreille County Republican Party voted to help fund Manus’s campaign by offering $1,300 for signs.

Party chairman Norris Boyd said the bylaws of the county party say they are allowed to support the campaign of the incumbent. There was some discussion as to whether Manus could be considered an incumbent since he was appointed.

“We were assured he is,” Boyd said, adding that they aren’t endorsing Manus.

“It would be nice to get a little sup-

port, but I understand where they’re coming from with supporting an incumbent,” Zorica said. “I just have to do my own thing.”

Manus did not want to comment.

The money comes through dues and fundraising, including the auction held at the annual Lincoln Day dinner.

Other races on the primary ballot will include the District 7 senator, and Pend Oreille County Fire District 2. In positions where no one filed, the incumbent retains his or her seat for another term. Write-in candidates can declare through July 19.

Ballots for the Aug. 6 primary are mailed to voters July 17. The deadline for new voter registration is July 8 by mail or online. Voters can register in person through July 29.

them. Hilarity ensues as the contestants, many of whom haven’t been around livestock much, attempt to dress the calves, who haven’t worn pantyhose before.

Prizes are awarded for the first team to get their calf dressed and everyone who participates will get a T-shirt, with the winners also getting a prize. Businesses and others are encouraged to enter the event by calling Hanson at 360-770-1180.

The Newport Rodeo will have a new event at this year’s show, ranch bronc riding. In this event a cowboy tries to ride a bucking horse. But instead of the specialized bronc saddle use in regular rodeo saddle bronc riding, cowboys will use their regular stock saddle to ride.

The contestants aren’t saddle bronc specialists, many are working cowboys.

The rules are pretty simple – ride a bucking horse for eight seconds.

Unlike saddle bronc riding, contestants can hold on with two hands and don’t have to mark the horse out of the chute. The ride is scored similar to regular bronc riding.

Ranch bronc riding will be one of the rough stock events that will be featured during the Justin Kelly Memorial Rough Stock Invitational, set for Sept. 14 in Newport.

Rodeo week really starts Monday, when musicians start coming and playing music at the campgrounds behind the rodeo grounds.

Throughout the week, acoustic bluegrass and country music will

be heard in the camp, as musicians get together and play. People are invited to come and listen or bring their guitar or banjo and join in. Rodeo Pickin,’ as the event has come to be known, is free.

The Old Fashioned Carnival opens at 5 p.m. Friday at the rodeo grounds, with a variety of family friendly games and contests, as well as food.

For adults, there will be a beer garden located in the uncovered stands near the entrance. The Newport-Priest River Rotary Club organizes the carnival, vendors and the beer garden.

Advance rodeo tickets are on sale at a variety of local merchants. Advance tickets cost $10 for adults and $5 for children 5-11.

Children under 4 get in free.

nections from the electric pole to the meter so far. But due to the cost overruns, the 400 remaining underground connections won’t be done unless a customer requests service.

Jordan said they will track those that are yet to be hooked up. “We will do it, and if they want service, we’ll do it now,” he said.

Community Network System manager Joe Onley estimates that 500 customers will take fiber service by the end of the year. The grant requires only that homes are connected to the fiber, not that they subscribe to the service.

The hook up work that’s left to complete will be done by the district’s own two-person crew rather than through the contractor. Keeping the contractor on for the hookups would cost another $600,000, they estimate.

Commissioner Curt Knapp, who represents District 2, is concerned that people who are interested in signing up are not getting connected.

Three members of the public were present. One asked about the PUD’s $50 base charge for the fiber system, which she felt was too high. One pointed out that people in the community have been complaining for a while that the project is mismanaged.

The district chose the more expensive option for engineering the fiber system. They went with pre-engineered lengths of fiber to save on the cost of splicing as the system was built. Where the original estimate for the engineering work was $3.9 million, it ended up costing closer to $8.2 million.

The commissioners were unhappy with the news. District 3 commissioner Rick Larson pointed out that 13 times during meetings they were told that the district could do the project on time and within budget. “And then six weeks ago it

all went to hell,” he said, referring to the original $200,000 overrun.

District 1 commissioner Dan Peterson said the district has always had great a financial staff, and while he thinks they’ll do well managing the district out of this deficit, he’s surprised by the miscalculations.

“It feels rotten that this big of an oversight … has occurred,” he said.

“There is nothing more fundamental to project management than knowing where you are versus the project budget, and in this we utterly failed,” Jordan said in a news release issued Tuesday morning.

The district found errors in its original analysis of the fiber budget. A number of mistakes were made in summarizing costs incurred to date as well as estimates of future costs to come, Jordan said.

Staff projects about $288,000 of additional administrative and legal costs, which were expensed as opposed to capitalized costs.

The new analysis also found about $214,000 of costs the federal grant won’t reimburse, such as personal leave, some benefits and transportation. The prior analysis also omitted about a half million dollars of retainage withheld from contractor invoices.

Other factors in the overrun, totaling about $1 million, include billings that weren’t yet paid, new estimates for remaining work, and other issues.

Jordan explained that the improvements the fiber brought to the electric system are worth $2.5 million. The old electric lines had to be improved before stringing fiber optic cable. The federal grant funded $1.6 million of that work, CNS paid a half million, and the electric system $400,000.

“Honestly, they got a lot for very little,” Jordan said.

The electric system improvements were budgeted at $2 million.

Since the actual cost came out

around $2.5 million, the district is contemplating using a half million from the electric system to pay for the fiber budget overrun. The rest of the $1.9 million would come from the Community Network System.

Larson said he doesn’t like to go to the electric system to cover the overrun: “I really struggle with adding $500,000 from our screw up to the electric system. I’m dead set against it.”

The district will put together a new financial forecast for the Community Network System. Jordan suggested holding off on repaying the loan to the electric system, making interest-only payments for the next two and a half years.

To date, the CN system has repaid $500,000 to the electric system.

Payments of $250,000 per year would resume in future years. The project has no outside debt.

The Tuesday morning meeting started with an apology from Onley for his appearance in an advertisement for the service provider iFiber. Onley’s house was one of the first to be hooked up in early May. Each of the three service providers hooked up one customer to start.

The iFiber company took out an ad done in news story format touting their speeds and the fiber project in general. The ad appeared in a past edition of The Miner and The Miner’s Lake Life publication.

Onley said he was told the piece would be for broadcast on iFiber’s news channel. “I didn’t know it would become a local advertising campaign,” he said. He apologized for apparently looked like he was endorsing the company over others.

Onley said he was embarrassed.

He has apologized to the other Internet service providers and asked iFiber to remove the ads.

The board held an executive session on personnel matters Tuesday. No action was taken afterward.

County jail staff settle union contract NEWPORT – Pend Oreille County settled a contract with Teamsters Union, Local 690, the union representing nine corrections officers at the Pend Oreille County Jail.

reopened for cost of living increases, according to Pend Oreille County Sheriff Alan Botzheim.

The corrections officers will get a $25 a month increase in what the county pays for health insurance.

Starting in June, corrections officers will get an additional $15 per month paid towards medical insurance premiums. That is to make up for the last contract, in which jailers got less in increases than the other unions.

focused.”

School board chairwoman April Owen said Thompson’s resignation wasn’t contentious.

“There was no controversy,” she said. She said the short notice does put the district in a bind, as most qualified candidates who are seeking employment will have accepted jobs elsewhere.

“But there never is a good time for a superintendent to leave,” she said.

Thompson was midway through a three-year contract, but the board agreed to let him out of it. Owen said it wasn’t in the district’s interest to keep a superintendent who didn’t want to be there.

The resignation took some board members by surprise. Long-time board member Lynn Kaney said the board knew Thompson was looking for another job but as recently as the last board meeting when they evaluated Thompson in executive session, they thought he would stay for another year.

“We knew that he had applied for two other positions,” Kaney said.

Thompson wasn’t selected for one of the positions and he had interviewed for another, but Kaney said other than those two, the board didn’t think Thompson was still considering anything.

“We didn’t know anything about Marysville,” Kaney said.

Paul Wilson, vice chairman of the school board, said he wasn’t surprised.

“Resignations don’t surprise me,” Wilson said. “People are always looking to improve their careers.”

Wilson said the average tenure for a school district superintendent is about four years. Thompson, who was hired in 2009, is approaching the four-year mark.

Owen said the board had two choices – to try to hire a superintendent in a short time or hire an interim superintendent for a year or so while a search for a more long-term superintendent was conducted.

Wilson said he didn’t think the resignation would have much affect on the budget process.

“The business manager pretty

Board member Shelly Stafford said they felt it was best to close the building for the safety of the public while repairs are made. She said they wanted to address the problem as soon as possible and reopen, continuing the momentum from the newly elected board.

He said much will depend on what the state Legislature decides to do about education funding.

Wilson said that the board will look to Educational Service District 101 to put together a list of potential candidates and will try to hire a new superintendent from that list.

Kaney said that it is a short time to hire a superintendent. In the other two superintendent searches Kaney was involved with, the board had several months to hire for the position.

“We’re going to try to do this in three weeks,” Kaney said. He said it was possible, especially with the help of ESD 101. What they really needed, Kaney said, was a pool of about four good candidates from which to choose.

One way or another, come July 1, the board will be without a superintendent if another isn’t hired.

Thompson was hired in July 2009.

Then superintendent Tere von Marbod resigned in late January of that year, giving the school board some time to conduct a search.

Thompson came to Newport from the Pullman school district, where he was a high school principal. Prior to that he worked in Deer Park, where, among other things, he coached basketball and served as athletic director.

The Marysville School District Thompson will be working at is considerably larger than Newport.

It has 11,000 students and 1,000 employees working in 11 elementary schools, four middle schools and eight high schools. It is located about 35 miles north of Seattle.

“It’s a good move for him,” Owen said. She said Thompson has done a good job for the district. She said the district has better hiring practices and makes better use of their school improvement days because of Thompson.

The board will meet Wednesday, June 12 at 4 p.m. to discuss how to proceed.

The board held a lengthy executive session at the end of the meeting to discuss a personnel issue. They met in closed session for more than an hour and did not take any action.

Schools locked down as suspect flees OLDTOWN – Two Oldtown schools were locked down as law enforcement agencies sought a 17-year-old male with an Airsoft BB gun accused of threatening a man in Newport. Idaho Hill Elementary and House of the Lord Christian Academy were on lockdown for about an hour to an hour and a half May 28 around 12:30 p.m. The boy got away from law enforcement by running through a trailer home on Silver Birch Lane in Oldtown and leaving out a back window, according to Pend Oreille County Sheriff Alan Botzhiem.

A warrant is out for his arrest.

Botzhiem declined to name the boy because he is a juvenile.

He said the incident began in Little People’s Park on the south side of Newport. A citizen placed a call to 911, saying he confronted the juvenile about some money he thought the boy had stolen. He told authorities the boy pulled a gun on him and ran to Idaho. The Bonner County Sheriff’s Office and Priest River Police also responded.

Volunteers, the heart of the community

BY JANELLE ATYEO OF THE MINER

CUSICK – More than 30 organizations participated in the Volunteer Fair at the Pend Oreille COunty fairgrounds June 1. The service those groups provide for the community is immeasurable.

Out of the more than 80 volunteers signed up for the day, three were picked as recipients of the Multi Hat Award for their service to multiple organizations.

Moira Hemphill volunteers with the Court Appointed Special Advocates, Hospitality House, foster parenting and Soroptimist International. Bryant

Kramer volunteers with Fire District 5, is a commissioner with Fire District 5, and is involved in the American Legion, and the American Power Dispatchers Association. Ricki Worley gives her time to the Young Lives Club, rodeo, Hospitality House and Youth Emergency Services.

All volunteers were given a certificate of appreciation signed by county commissioners. Door prizes bearing the slogan “Volunteers: The heart of the community,” were given away.

They were purchased through the Drug Free Communities Grant, which aims to increase collaboration within a community.

The volunteer fair was the brainchild of commissioner Karen Skoog. Her idea was to dedicate a day to thanking the volunteers that do so much for so many causes around the county.

Organizations were invited to set up information booths to promote what they do.

“They just kind of went all out for their organizations,” Skoog said.

She said the groups were pleased to have the opportunity to visit with others. Some organizations found new board members.

Skoog and other organizers hope to make it an annual event.

NEWPORT – U.S. Forest Service personnel found that over the Memorial Day weekend, several individuals drove their four-wheel drive vehicles off-road into a wet meadow in the Middle Fork Calispell Creek area.

After a few minutes of spin-outs and tight turns, the vehicle operators left behind a muddy bog covering about 1.5 acres of the original meadow.

Wet meadows on the Colville National Forest provide foraging opportunities for big game and essential habitats for native amphibian and invertebrate species. They also provide habitat for most of the rare plant species found on the forest. Wetland soils are soft and fragile, making them easily damaged. Vehicles driven through these sites can quickly tear up the vegetation, compact the soil, and leave deep ruts.

Exposed soils may also dry out and become colonized by noxious weeds that rob big game

of foraging opportunities. Once these fragile meadows are damaged, it can take many years for them to heal.

An investigation into this incident is ongoing. Individuals responsible for such damage to natural resources can be fined and may also be required to pay the full cost of restoring the site.

While the road adjacent to the damaged wet meadow is open to all vehicles, crosscountry travel on the Colville National Forest is prohibited as identified on the forest’s Motor Vehicle Use Map. The Colville National Forest requests help from forest visitors in protecting fragile wetlands.

Five same sex couples wed in Pend Oreille County OLYMPIA – Since the law changed in December 2012, nearly 42 percent of all marriages in Pend Oreille County have been same sex marriages. Between Dec. 6, 2012, and March 31, 2013, five same sex couples married in Pend Oreille, compared to seven opposite sex marriages.

In all of Washington, nearly 2,500 same sex couples were married since the law changed, representing more than 20 percent of the 11,661 marriages that occurred in the state during this 16-week period.

Same sex marriages occurred in 35 of Washington’s 39 counties during this time period, which began on the first day same sex couples could legally get a marriage license in the state.

More same sex couples were married in King County than in any other county; one-third of the marriages performed in King

County during this time period were same sex marriages. Ferry, Asotin, Garfield, and Wahkiakum counties reported no same sex marriages so far.

More female couples married than male couples; 63 percent of all same sex marriages were among female couples.

Same sex couples may be more likely to travel to Washington to marry. In 14 percent of same sex marriages, both spouses were residents of another state. Among opposite sex couples, both spouses

were from another state in only four percent of marriages.

The state health department may not yet have received records for all marriages during the reporting period.

Information on a marriage certificate is reported by the couple and officiant. After the ceremony, the officiant files the marriage certificate with the county auditor that issued the marriage license and the auditor files the marriage certificate with the Department of Health.

Pend Oreille County parks in good hands

W

hen grassroots community involvement and local government start working together it’s a beautiful thing. We believe this unusual situation is worth a salute because it’s the best thing that can happen in a community. For the first time, this good-government process is working overtime on Pend Oreille County parks.

Instead of special interest groups and government leaders fighting about bare bones maintenance issues, a very organized and effective campaign is underway to plan and fund the entire park system.

This process started with a good park board headed by former county commissioner Sam Nicholas. They had a vision beyond just maintaining Pend Oreille Park. Then they came into some money via a state land exchange and held on to most of it as they planned. With a very supportive board of county commissioners, they are reaching out to the public for ideas and interests. In the end they will pull all this together and give the county a sustainable park system.

Everyone can help them now. This month, residents and visitors alike are being asked to provide opinions about outdoor recreation needs and desires by filling out a survey. They want to know what activities they’re interested in so they can devise a new comprehensive plan.

The survey questions range from gathering opinions on how the park board should focus its efforts at Pend Oreille County Park – building trails, improving restrooms and campsites, building a picnic shelter, organizing nature hikes – to how the county should fund its parks. For the first time since 2006, the county is also in the midst of updating its comprehensive parks and recreation plan.

All this will lead to better recreation opportunities in the county now and in the future. This is a model of good government.

Preserve and expand Washington’s traditional manufacturing jobs As the budget battles continue in Olympia, state lawmakers are rightly focusing on the need to retain and expand good-paying aerospace and high-tech manu- GUEST facturing jobs. OPINION At the same DON C. time, we shouldn’t over- BRUNELL ASSOCIATION OF look – or take for granted – the WASHINGTON BUSINESS PRESIDENT considerable economic contributions of Washington’s traditional industries.

For example, forestry was the first economic powerhouse in our state, dating back to 1849.

The Washington Forest Protection Association reports that today more than 50,000 people are employed in forest products, including pulp and paper production. When you add in contractors and suppliers, as well as the economic impact of employee spending, Washington’s prolific forests support 118,548 jobs, paying almost $5.3 billion a year.

In addition, the forest products sector pays almost $176 million a year in taxes and fees to state and local governments. They could be contributing more, as they did in the past, if our state and federal policies would be more balanced and encouraged management rather than allowing trees to die and become wildfire fuel.

Oil refineries are another economic mainstay.

According to a study by the Washington Research Council

(WRC), our state’s five major petroleum refiners provided 1,986 full-time jobs in 2011 at an average annual wage of $120,276. In addition, the refiners employed 2,919 highwage contract workers who do maintenance and repairs.

While the average business has a “job multiplier” effect (outside jobs supported) of two or three, the multiplier for our state’s refineries is 13.23, meaning that each direct refining job generates an additional 12.23 jobs in the state.

In total, these five refineries support more than 26,000 jobs, providing almost $1.7 billion in personal income for Washington state in 2011.

But how does this important industry fare when it comes to taxes and fees? Surprisingly, refiners in high-tax California fare better than their Washington counterparts. In fact, the WRC found that the tax burden in Washington is more than four times the burden in California.

Yes, California has a corporate income tax and we don’t. But while California taxes corporate profits, our business and occupation (B&O) tax is levied on gross income, regardless of whether you make a profit.

Advantage: California.

Still, some would like to target Washington’s refiners for even higher taxes and fees. But rather than jeopardize these highpaying jobs, why not work to expand them?

The solution is on our doorstep.

|| Both theater groups are an asset To the editor: Regarding Pete Scoby’s letter of June 5, while the writer made some accurate comparisons between Pend Oreille Players and Northwoods Performing Arts, his lack of understanding of the diversity of the two groups is quite apparent.

Because I have been an active member of both groups – NPA since 1988, and POPA since 1998 – I feel qualified to point out some of the differences.

NPA is a non-profit community choral organization, that also stages one or more plays per year, and provides a venue for visiting artists. Located in the Sacheen Lake area, the Circle Moon Theater is a lovely, although an out of the way place, to enjoy dinner and musical theater.

Pend Oreille Playhouse, on the other hand, is located in Newport; currently boasts a roster of actors from two states and four counties; produces six or more plays per year, including original one-act plays submitted by award winning, published playwrights from throughout the U.S. and Canada; and provides afterschool drama programs that serve youth actors who are not provided with comparable programs via public, private or home-school, with as many as 60 youth actors appearing in past productions.

POPA’s Summer Theatre Camp programs benefit youth from age 6-18, and enrolled 59 students last summer, with increased enrollment and expansion of the program anticipated this year.

NPA and POPA make a genuine effort to coordinate schedules for performances, so that theatre-goers don’t miss out on programs from either group, and often share actors, costumes and props.

And while there are similarities between the two orga-

nizations – both promote and provide access to the performing arts – the dissimilarities clearly demonstrate why both groups are an asset to the community and should continue as separate entities.

Watchdog support is encouraging To the editor: I attended the Volunteer Fair at the Cusick Fairgrounds Saturday, June 1. I want to thank county employees for all the hard work.

Watchdogs, the Pend Oreille County Neighborhood Watch, had a booth. They are starting up again. Yard signs are available. Many people signed up to be on their contact list/mailing list or purchased signs for $5. It covers the cost to make the sign.

For more information, contact Irv Kenny at 509-954-5384.

At the end of the Volunteer Fair, we gathered in the stands where they judge the animals.

Sheriff Alan Botzheim spoke to us. He told us he strongly supported the Watchdogs. He encouraged us to call the number on the yard sign, 509-447-3151, extension 2, and report any suspicious activity. He said they will follow up on calls.

It’s the first time in 40 years I’ve ever heard a sheriff in Pend Oreille County publicly endorse Watchdogs or a way for the public to get involved. Made me feel good.

Thanks to everyone at the Volunteer Fair.

Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, airline passengers have been prohibited from carrying small pocket knives onboard. This spring, Transportation Security Administration officials were set to the lift the ban for knives with blades less than 2.36 inches long, but changed their minds.

County CASA Program, I served for almost seven years under the previous commissioners.

My experience with those “ladies” (not John Hankey), was one of total lack of interest or appreciation for my very hardworking volunteers, who were saving the county several thousands of dollars each month, while giving meticulous and sustained care to the children in dependencies.

In fact, several years ago the CASA volunteers requested a brief meeting with the commissioners, and were told there was no time to meet with them – a flat rejection without any offer to reschedule.

This past Saturday, the volunteers of the county met and got to know the new commissioners, and discovered warmth, appreciation, and just plain good feelings about them. It was like a breath of fresh air, and the euphoria remains from a wonderful day of meeting all our counterparts in other agencies, which was very productive in showing us opportunities for co-serving in many ways.

Thank you Karen Skoog for causing it to happen, and thank you to Mike Manus and Steve Kiss. My highest compliment to the three of you is that you’re “regular folks,” unlike your predecessors. Kudos to you, and to all the volunteers in Pend Oreille County.

citizen without the government listening to our words. A key word could be “bomb” which is often used to describe a failed attempt “like I bombed.” Well, you used that key word and now big brother is looking more closely at you and might see you as a potential terrorist.

It’s what you say, not what you do that matters in this cyber world of electronic communications. The government treats everyone as a potential terrorist.

Still terrorists are able to set off bombs and conduct mass shootings. My view is that no matter what the government does or doesn’t do, we live in a free society and must accept some risks.

Every time I read of a killing or rape in a prison, it’s often the guards that are involved or turn a blind eye. The same applies to the federal government. Abuse by public officials is often seen as routine. How many of us want to turn over our freedom like the keys to our homes to the government? Most of us wouldn’t even give that level of trust to close family members. If the government can’t protect a prisoner from harm by monitoring visits, mail and telephone calls, how can the government protect us from terrorist attacks by using those same methods?

Look for terrorists to form tea party-like organizations after the current IRS scandal is played out. Just put the word tea in the name and it’s bombs away!

Cusick schools receive achievement awards CUSICK – Cusick School District staff recently received their 2012 Washington Achievement Award banner, recognizing the performance of Cusick Junior/ Senior High School and Bess Harian Elementary.

Both schools were recognized for high progress among Title I schools. Title 1 schools receive special federal funding because a high percent of students come from a low-income background.

Cusick Junior/Senior High School was honored for extended graduation rate and overall excellence. Overall excellence is awarded to the top 5 percent of schools in the state.

“This award is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our entire staff, students, school board, parents and community,” Hawpe said. “We are proud of our continued academic progress.”

Award winners were evaluated based on the state’s Achievement Index and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act flexibility waiver for the three previous years, and ranked in seven categories. The award, in its fourth year, is sponsored by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board of Education.

PRIEST RIVER – According to Priest River Police Chief Ray Roberts, the prospect of a cash reward was instrumental in the arrests of one adult and two juveniles accused of burglarizing the Priest River Senior Center and Mac’s Gas and Grocery in May. “That is what led to it being resolved as quickly as it was,” Roberts said.

According to Roberts, two solid tips were called in after the $1,000 reward was offered. The reward has not been paid out because it is based on the arrest and conviction of the suspects.

According to a June 1 story in the Bonner County Bee, 20-year-old Nathan Cole Fry and the two minors, Joshua Glen Johnson, 16, and Jonathan Michael Stayton, 17, have each been charged with two counts of burglary. The suspects allegedly burglarized and vandalized the senior center May 13, spraying fire extinguishers and stealing food bank donations. At the gas station May 14, cigarettes, lighters and alcohol were stolen.

There are three different alerts issued through system (also known as CMAS, Commercial Mobile Alerting System).

Presidential alerts, alerts issued by the president or designee; imminent threat alerts, alerts include severe manmade or natural disasters;

BR I E FLY Rhubarb Festival this weekend

NEWPORT – The annual festival of all things rhubarb is set for Saturday, June 15, at the Create Arts Center, located on the corner of Fourth and Fea in Newport.

The festival will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering demonstrations, baked goods and more.

For information, call Create at 509-447-9277.

Learn about mining in Idaho BLANCHARD – A presentation, Mining in Idaho: Today and Yesterday, will be presented Thursday, June 13, at 7 p.m. at the Blanchard Community Center.

Tom Blanchard will give the presentation in a special program presented by the Idaho Humanities Council and BASIC. By this 1870s, Idaho Territory had seen several major gold rushes that accounted for it creation, yet its growth was not sufficient to justify statehood. This changed in 1880.

Gold discoveries in the Yankee Fork area and lead-silver in the Wood River Valley and the Coeur d’Alenes attracted thousands of miners who changed the political climate as well as the landscape. The impact of both political and environmental decisions of that early period remain with us yet today.

Everyone is invited for the discussion, and free refreshments will be provided.

Children’s art camp planned in Blanchard BLANCHARD – The Blanchard Community Center will hold a free children’s art camp June 20, 26 and 27 and July 2, 3, 9, 10, 16 and 18.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays will have art class from 9-10:30 a.m. and drama class from 10:30 a.m. to noon, and Wednesdays and Thursdays will have drama classes from 9-11:30 a.m.

Kids will put on an Arts Camp recital July 18 from noon to 4 p.m., following their final day of camp.

For more information, call Clancie at 208-437-4072 or Dee Ann at 208-437-1060.

Dad’s day dinner served at senior center PRIEST RIVER – A special Father’s Day ham dinner will be served at the Priest River Senior Center Saturday, June 15, from 4-6 p.m.

The Happy Agers Senior Center sponsors the annual dinner in homage of local fathers.

The dinner is free for those over 65 and kids under 12. Others pay $6.

Live music canceled at the Hospitality House NEWPORT – The live music show scheduled for the Hospitality House for Friday, June 14 has been canceled due to repair construction on the building.

The senior center at 216 S. Washington Ave. will probably be closed until the end of the month, so the show scheduled for June 28will also have to be canceled.

Organizers are making plans for Friday evening shows in July, so watch The Miner for future announcements.

Quilters’ tea celebrates the craft BLANCHARD – The Blanchard Stitchers are having their third annual quilters’ tea Tuesday, June 18.

Julie Hansen, will be showing quilts made by her mother, a professional quilter.

Cookies and tea will be served. The public is invited, and everyone is encouraged to bring vintage and new quilts to share stories.

Young adults invited to explore Buddhism NEWPORT – Young adults are invited to explore Buddhism at Sravasti Abbey, a Buddhist monastery in Newport from June 24 to July 1.

“Come and See! Young Adults Explore Buddhism” is a weeklong program where young adults, aged 18 to 29, ask themselves hard but essential questions about life: Where is the instruction manual for adulthood? I’m constantly connected to the world, but why do I feel so alone? How can I work and live in a way that is aligned with my values and aspirations?

Situated on 240 acres of woodlands, Sravasti offers young adults the rare space to unplug from a world saturated with tweets and text messages, to look inwards instead of living life on automatic. The annual residential course provides a container for young adults to look deeply into their hearts and articulate their values in order to set a clear direction for their lives.

Katie Lawyer participated in the 2012 program. “Before spending time at the abbey, it was really easy for me to get caught up in pop psychology definitions of what’s meaningful and what’s not meaningful,” she said. “But coming here, I was really challenged to evaluate what I think is important, to really contemplate what constitutes ethical behavior, and be empowered to use those tools in my life and live from that perspective.“ One of the few training monasteries in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition in the U.S., Sravasti Abbey also offers young adults the unique opportunity to experience the wisdom of the Buddhist tradition as it is lived and practiced by nuns and

monks in a monastic community.

Through daily meditation sessions, discussion groups, and teachings

by Abbess and resident teacher, Venerable Thubten Chodron, the program introduces teachings on how to develop a peaceful mind and to benefit self and others.

Ven. Chodron has studied extensively with Tibetan masters including His Holiness the Dalai Lama and has published more than a dozen books on Buddhist philosphies. Having taught prolifically around the world for more than 30 years, she is especially skilled at bringing the Buddha’s ancient wisdom to life and explaining how these teachings can be applied in daily life to create happiness and a meaningful life. Jack Hillie III participated in the program in 2011 and 2012 and is now a resident at Sravasti Abbey. “At Sravasti Abbey, you get to experience the living Dharma in a monastic community.

The teachings were just incredible.

It was so inspiring and motivating to talk to peers interested in Buddhism. I didn’t realize how isolated I had felt before,” Hillie said.

No meditation experience is necessary and one need not identify as Buddhist to attend this program.

The only requirement is a curious and inquisitive mind. Advance registration and a donation are requested to secure a place in the program.

Visit the Sravasti Abbey website for a detailed program description, and our Youtube channel to hear more from past participants. Visitwww.sravastiabbey.org/programs/ youngadults.html, call 509-4475549 or email office.sravasti@ gmail.com.

Work has started on the long awaited Pend Oreille Valley Railroad shop and paint booth expansion project.

Port breaks ground on railroad shop USK – Work started on the Pend Oreille Valley Railroad’s shop and paint booth expansion Friday, June 7, according to a press release from the Port of Pend Oreille. The project will add 10,000 square feet to POVA’s existing metal shop building and will include a 30-ton bridge crane.

The new facility will also include a locomotive paint facility.

James Elmer Construction was the low bidder on the project with a bid of $1,459,384. The funding for this project includes $13,000

from Pend Oreille County Economic Development Council, with the remainder of the funding coming from POVA’s own reserves.

POVA contracted with ALSC Architects out of Spokane for assistance on the project. D2G Engineering from Priest River designed the water system to add fire protection to the shop facility.

Construction is to be substantially completed by the end of October with final completion in December.

recoverable oil.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that by this time next year, North Dakota will be producing more than a million barrels of oil each day. But there’s not enough refinery capacity in the region to transform that crude oil into higher-value petroleum products.

Some people are taking notice.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the North Dakota oil boom is spurring the first fullfledged refineries to be built in the U.S. since 1976.

In March, companies broke ground on a 20,000-barrel-aday refinery west of Bismarck, N.D., that can produce a variety of products from diesel fuel to kerosene. At least three

Man injured in Scotia Road rollover other refineries of similar size are moving off the drawing boards.

Even so, these new refineries will be able to process only a fraction of the new oil. With the Keystone Pipeline still in limbo, who will reap the benefits of this new find?

In 2011, Washington refineries processed 536,000 barrels of oil per day.

The potential exists that, with the proper investments – and our state’s stringent environmental protections – we could double that capacity within a few years.

The question for us is, are we going to starve our traditional industries to the point where we eliminate thousands of high-paying jobs or will we take advantage of an unprecedented opportunity on our very doorstep?

editor ought to be. He was honest, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable about his community. He cared a lot about Newport.

I know many others share this view. Recently I was talking with Patrick F. McManus, the author, who had Mike as a student in college almost 50

years ago. McManus figures Mike Denuty was the best journalism student he had ever taught.

Mike died too young. But at least Newport had him for those many years. It is a better place for his contributions.

The Selkirk High School Class of 2013 listens to a colorful speech by science and math teacher John Kinney. Twelve seniors graduated Saturday afternoon, June 8. Class valedictorian is Jessika Reiber, and Kendra McGeorge is salutatorian.

A send off for Selkirk High graduates METALINE – The Selkirk School District graduated 14 seniors Saturday, June 8.

The National Anthem was performed by Eric Wittenmyer who also sang “For Good” from the hit musical “Wicked,” and with Emily Maupin sang a duet of the classic “Moon River.”

The class valedictorian, Jessika Reiber, and Kendra McGeorge, salutatorian, shared a few of the humorous and spontaneous moments this class will be remembered for and encouraged their classmates to show the world what they’ve got.

Kirbi Anderson prepared a video honoring the seniors. The graduates invited John Kinney, high school science and math teacher and recipient of the 2013 Selkirk Educator of the Year Award, to address them on their graduation day.

“Once again, we graduated an outstanding group of individuals who have demonstrated high academic skills and who plan to use those skills as they continue their education at the next level,” district officials said.

At this time, every graduate has plans to pursue post-secondary education or training in the fall. Two students plan to attend a four-year

college or university next year. Nine students are headed to community colleges and two students to the U.S. Navy.

This was the scene Tuesday, June 4, when more than 50 law enforcement officers served a search warrant on the residence of Walter Randall Todd and Robert Patrick Todd south of Newport off Stohr Road. The Washington State Patrol headed up the search, which resulted in four stolen vehicles being recovered, the discovery of a marijuana grow operation and the arrest of the Todds.

More charges following stolen vehicle raid Todds out on $20,000 bond

BY DON GRONNING OF THE MINER

NEWPORT – Additional charges were filed against Walter Randall Todd, 49, and Robert Patrick Todd, 47, the two men arrested in a June 4 raid at their residence near Stohr Road, south of Newport.

Both men will be charged with possession of four stolen vehicles located on their property – a 1996 Ford F-150, a Chevy S-10 pickup cab, a white 2003 Toyota Tacoma pickup and a green Honda all terrain vehicle.

Walter Randall Todd will also be charged with possession of methamphetamine and with two counts of unlawful possession of firearms – a shotgun and a handgun. He is a convicted felon and is prohibited from legally possessing guns.

Robert Patrick Todd will face manufacturing marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver charges.

Bail was set at $20,000 for each man by District Court Judge Phil Van de Veer at their first appearance Wednesday, June 5. Both were facing

a single charge of possession of a stolen vehicle at the time. Both men posted bond and were released.

A statement of probable cause outlined a little of what authorities were seeking when they searched the Todds’ residence June 4. More than 50 law enforcement officers executed the search warrant in an early morning raid in which SWAT teams and flash bang explosives were used by law enforcement officers. The warrant was signed by Spokane County Superior Court Judge Annette Pease.

According to the statement of probable cause by the Washington State Patrol, the agency that arrested the Todds, law enforcement was looking for a 2003 white Toyota Tacoma pickup they allege was stolen and traded to Walter Randall Todd for methamphetamine May 23.

According to the WSP statement, law enforcement was authorized to seize the Toyota pickup, along with any other vehicles or parts of vehicles they suspected were stolen. Documents, computers, cell phones, money and cameras were all included in the search warrant, the WSP claimed in their statement.

They were also looking for signs of methamphetamine manufacturing, including tools, ingredients or packaged methamphetamine.

Law enforcement found the four vehicles, a marijuana grow operation and an electronic safe with marijuana and an undisclosed amount of money. According to the sworn statement by the WSP, Robert Patrick Todd admitted the marijuana was his.

The loaded firearms, along with glass pipes and methamphetamine, were found in Walter Randall Todd’s residence, according to the statement.

In addition to the stolen vehicles and drug violations, there were apparently environmental violations, including a burn pile with garbage and tires and raw sewage on the ground, according to Mike Lithgow, community development director for Pend Oreille County. He said he received a call from Jim Sayer or Northeast Tri-County Health District. There were also apparently some unpermitted structures on the property. Lithgow said the county will likely red tag these once he gets a chance to inspect the property.

WDFW stocking large trout for Father’s Day fishing

BR I E FLY Selkirk baseball awards presented IONE – The Selkirk Rangers baseball team gave out sports awards recently.

Dominic Cain was given the Bulldog Award.

The award is named after L.A. Dodger Orel Hershiser and is given to the player that was willing to up his level of intensity as the pressure rose.

Mikey Weiss received the Dirtbag Award, which goes to the player who is mentally tough and willing to endure physical pain for the team.

Emery Maupin got the Most Improved award, Warren Batiste was named Rookie of the Year, and the Coach’s Award went to Brady Filler.

OLYMPIA – Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) fish hatchery crews will be stocking 10,000 triploid rainbow trout averaging 1.5 pounds each in 20 lakes just before Father’s Day weekend, June 15-16. Diamond Lake will get about 600 fish. West Medical Lake, the only other lake in the Eastern Region to be stocked this week, is getting 400. Before the fishing season opener in April, Diamond got 1,110 rainbow trout.

“This is the second straight year we’ve stocked trout before Father’s Day, and this year we’ve doubled the number of fish and added six more lakes to the list,” said Chris Donley, WDFW Inland Fish Program manager. “A fishing license is a great Father’s Day gift and catching these big fish will make for some wonder-

Celebrate Family with a fun run PRIEST RIVER – A fun run/walk set for Saturday, June 22, at the Settlement School in Priest River will have participants celebrating family. Join the group for a scenic one-mile or five-kilometer walk/run aimed at raising awareness for building strong families.

There will be awards for the top three male and female placers in each distance.

Children and strollers are welcome, but no pets are allowed on the course.

Registration is $20 or $10 for those who do not want a commemorative T-shirt.

Karate students place at tournament SPOKANE – Keinshin Kan Karate of Priest River, along with martial arts schools from all over the Northwest, participated in the Lilac City Karate Championships May 18.

The local group had five adults and one child compete most were new to the art and had never gone to a tournament.

Cythia Byerley won the kata and sparing in the intermediate over 35 competition. In the beginner 18 and older group, Clark Paterson took first in sparring and third in kata, and Jamie Paterson competed in kata in the same age group.

Beginner Daron English took second in sparing and kata in the over 35 category.

Samantha Morrell took second in weapons and third in kata in the advanced 18-years and older group. Beginner Tavon Graves, 13, took third in sparring.

Sensei Roger Williamson and Master Erin Mix served as judges and could not help their group.

“They are a great group and really supported each other during the event,” Mix said.

Several of the Keinshin Kan students were in spring sports unable to compete in the tournament.

Keinshin Kan has students

ranging from 10 years old to their mid-60s. Many are family members. They come from all over the area including Diamond Lake, Newport and Cusick..

“It’s fun to see adults learning karate along with their kids,” Mix said. The studio has several black belts that help train students for belt testing and events. This is one way the black belts advance. They currently meet at the community church in Priest River each Wednesday from 6-8 p.m.

He lived his life in service to others, volunteering with many civil and community service organizations. He served as chairman of the planning commission in Kennewick from 1993 to 2003 and the board of commissioners of Kennewick General Hospital from 2000 to 2003.

While working overseas, Mr. Coldiron also earned bachelor’s degree from Almeda College and University, in addition to both a master’s degree and doctorate in business administration from Buxton University.

Mr. Coldiron enjoyed teaching and assisted with the Priest River Lamanna High School Academic Decathlon. He assisted with many of the classes at the high school and enjoyed mentoring many of the students.

He worked with the animal rescue, often donating his locksmith services to help the rescue.

Mr. Coldiron loved to cook and was a certified chef who taught a few classes and assisted in catering the Helping our Hometown fundraiser in Priest River.

Together with his wife Shawn, he recently co-authored “How to Boil Water,” a cookbook

||

designed to inspire cooks of all ages and skill levels to develop confidence in the kitchen.

Mr. Coldiron was always willing to lend a hand and help out when someone was in need.

He had a way about him that was reassuring and a timeless wisdom providing guidance and direction when it was needed, family said.

Mr. Coldiron left his own parting words on his computer: “I feel the chill of autumn, and everything hurts, I know it is time to go. I will miss a lot of what has happened in my life. I will miss everyone here in Priest River. I have never felt friendship like I have felt here and for this I thank you. However, the pain is getting the better of me, and I have said before that I will not let it take over. Please take care of the stray puppies and kitties.”

Mr. Coldiron is preceded in death by his grandparents, Elwin Burra Sartain, Mary Francis Sartain, Clarence Clinton Coldiron, Laura Seager Coldiron Henschell, and Eugene Henschell; his parents, Clarence William and Sharon Ruth Coldiron; paternal aunts and uncles, Vivian, Mary, Jack and Laurel Ann and maternal aunt Marie Nichole and uncle Kelly Lee, and stepson Mathew Evan Farmer.

He is survived by his loving wife and soul mate, Shawn M. Coldiron; her children Christopher J. and Michael D. Smith, Morgan L. Vogel, Michelle A. Farmer and six grandchildren.

He is also survived by his ex-wife, Kathie L. Coldiron, her children, Juan Gorragilzarri and Eric Martin, six grandchildren, and one great-grandchild; his older brother Elwin Blaine Coldiron and his younger sister, Shawny Lynn Coldiron; uncles Elwin Duane and Michael Barry, and aunt Peggy Sartain. He also leaves numerous cousins on both sides of the family, as well as his four-legged children, his puppies, Hennessy, Tommy and Pepper.
